There seems to .be, no doubt but that

Those who know the family state that
there is no doubt about her being bis

a -wood yard In Portland, and his wife
helped attend to his business.
It Is believed that the deceased was
not in his right mind when the will was

The men who yesterday were called off
one of the docks whicb is being built on
the water front, were today granted a
special permit to complete the same. The
high water made this move almost nec
essary. A rumor la being circulated this after
noon that the non-union employes at J.
A. Martin's planing mill will go out to
morrow in sympathy with the strikers.
Disastrous Effect.
The business men of me city are be
ginning to express themselves rather
freely as to what they think of the strike
situation. An enormous payroll nas been
stopped and if all the unions are called
out as many believe is being contem
plated, the disastrous effects of the strike
will be almost beyond computation.
The 2500 men who are now out drew
close to $7500 per day. In the. city It Is
estimated that there are elose on to 8000
union employes, and if these are called
out It will mean a loss to Portland of
probably 124,000 for every day that the
strike continues. Aside from this, great
losses will necessarily be sustained by
property holders, contractors and those
engaged In building operations. It will
affect all classes , and eonaltlons of peo
ple, and many business men are already
drawing hideous pictures of the hard
ships, evils and losses which will result.
The union Idea Is So firmly embedded
in the minds of the worklngmen that a
carpenter working on the elevator at
Woodard, Clarke AC.' store thought
it his duty to stop work, thereby causing
a loss of at least S200 to the firm in the
way of perishable goods remaining in the
basement.
The Building, Trades Council granted a
permit to some carpenters to finlsbbul!d
Ing a temporary office for Studebaker
Bros., It being shown that Studebaker
Bros, must vacate the building they are
In by June 1.

CHARGE
Made by a 1 7-Year-Old
Girl Against
Ben Hunt.
(Journal Special Service.)
SAN FRANCISCO, May 22.-The local
police today arrested a young man named
Ben Hunt, wanted at Portland, Or., on a
charge of educing-a 17-year-old girl of
that city.
Chief of Police MoLauchlan has re
ceived word Of Hunt's arrest, but beyond
this he say ha knows nothing. The sr.
rest was mad at the instance of the
District Attorney, and the matter did not
pass through the Chief's hands.
The Chief cays, however, that requisi
tion paper are being prepared today, and
that he will send& a detective to San
Francisco, probably tomorrow, to bring
Hunt back.
Deputy District Attorney Arthur Spen
cer, who drew up the complaint, con
siders it his duty to suppress the girl s
name, notwithstanding the fact that Hunt
is under arrest and the matter has now
become a matter of public record. He
says that Hunt's alteged victim is a
member of a prominent family.
Tba facts of the case, as near as -can
be learned from different sources, are
that Hunt's crime was committed under
promise of marriage, but that when the
time arrived for a fulfillment of this sa
cred vow he skipped 'town and was lo
eated at the Bay City.
He Is simply being brought back with
a view to. forcing htm Into a marriage.
If he consents, all prosecution will be
dropped. ' '

Now that Mr. Harrlman , ha decided
to reduoe fare to the -oent basis in

whol Question' naturally come up a 1 1
whether fa41rpad can afford to carry
passengers abhls rate or not. An ex

duced to a minimum. If hard time com
on, the . railroad cannot raise their pas
senger rates above the J-cent rate once
they have reduced them to that figure.
the merchant can adjust his prices to
ult the condition of the market. Not so
with the railroads. If they attempted to
raise the price of transportation, no mat
ter how much the conditions oi the time
justified it, the public would not 'stand
for It,' but would howl. It I just such
things as these that force railroads often
Into the hands of receivers a condition
no line likes to 'assume. Th publio
should look at a railroad Just as they do
at any other enterprise, and railroads
should be allowed to apply the same
ruies as are applied to any other kind
of business, but they are not
"Railroads are the greatest of civilis-
ers and educators. There are very few
if any thatsar the enemies to the ter

strange anomaly, those very people who
are often the most under obligations to
railroad companies are-the very one who
