Effort to Remove Steamer Full
ton From Beach VIII Be
Tried Later,
BIGGER TIDES ARE NECESSARY
Experts Believe That Attempt
Now Woultl he Disastrous
TO Both the Vessel
and Cargo.

Fearing that the unsettled conditions
Of the weather would prove Disastrous
to the steamer Fulton and her humber
cargo it has been decided 10 let her re
main on the beach al Port orford antsl
the next fall-naoon tide. which occurs
on May 50. before any further attempt
is made to sioat her. Al that time II Is
the intention to discharge her humber
cargo. consisting Of lea.eee feet, on to
barges and then !, Is believed that she
can be pulled out into deep water with
ease and absolute safety, To have
adopted such a course at this time, Il
was feared that a storm might arise
and wash the humber out to sea. II
might also have been the means Of the
vessel being rendered more helpless
than ever.
The steamer Despatch, which arrived
Tuesday night from the south, brought
the first authentic account Of the at
tempt made TO save the wrecked vessel,
After spending four days at Port Or
ford the oficers OF the Despatch
deemed that il would he inadtyisahle
TO make any further effort at this time
to move the Fulton from the precarious
position which she occupies on the
rocky beach Captain George d, Gray,
general manager OF the California 4
oregon Coast Steamship conpany's
Fleet, came up from San Francisco on
the Despatch and stopped with her at
Port oxford. II was through his advice
that the date for floating the vessel was
postponed.
by waiting until the last Of May :
he said, Il believe that II will be pos
sible to move the Fulton and save all
her lumber cargo. BY making the at
tempt now great risks would have to
be assumed Of not only losing the
steamer, butthe cargo. A storm is likely
to come up any time and prove dis
astrous to the venture The last Of next
month the weather conditions ought to
be settled.
THE steamer has been driven high
up on the beach by the storms. The
Despatch pulled on ner twice. but II
was impossible to bulge her But 1t
could easily have been done by remov-
ing the lumber with which she is
weighted down. This will be done
when the attempt is made next month.
While her hull is probably in bad shape,
do not believe the vessel will be a
total los by any means. Her ma
chinery is all right, but nothing definite
will be known about her hull until she
is taken on the drydock."

SOCIETY OF PATRIOTS.
Organization That Reaches Far to
Help Jap Soldiers.

Telkcgu Gunjin Yengokwai, or an
association .or the Relief OF Those
Serving in the Army and Navy OF
Japan" which was organised In the
beautiful Land of the Chrysanthe-
n,ms about two months ago, Is ex-
tending its membership to japanese
colonies all over the world. and noti-
aeot,on of this East was received to-
lay by Sum;saEro Takagi. Portland
vice consul for Japan. The organiEa-
tinn spread quickly through Japan
and Is now reaching out to take in all
Japanese not living in the home
country.
Tie purpose of the society is little
broader than stated in its title. II Is
IN assist the families OF soldiers and
sailors who have been called TO the
front. and who are no longer able to
provide their relatives with the neces-
saries of life, The fund OF the asso-
iation was set at 50O,444 yen. but
NJ ,rch 10, when the last report of 1t
was published in Toxic paper. the
funo had reached $4,000 ven and was
increasing rapidly.
The officers of the association m
clude the most prominent and progress
siya soldiers, statesmen, ministers and
business men of Japan, and the places
where funds can be contributed are
scattered throughout the world. New
York, San Francisco, London. Shang-
hal, Hong Kong, Pekin, Tientsin, Seoul,
Chempulpo, Fusan, Hangkow, Manila
and Java are named as places where
funds will be received aside from any
of the cities of japan.
The statement of the objects Of the
association is full of lofty thought CAL
culated to inspire every japanese who
reads it with a sense of patriotism
that will cause him to either become
a member or contribute to the best
Of his ability to the fund. The con-
tributions are not confined to Japanese
alone, and many people of different
nationalities including large numbers
of Americans in Japan and in this
country have given money for the pur-
poses stated.
The statement of the objects Of the
association after enumerating its pur-
poses concludes as follows:
"Compatriots, 1t is our duty to look
to the welfare of the weak who are
dear to those that are spilling their
blood and risking their all in defense
of the honor Of the nation. Let us
at least endeavor to enable them to
face death in their country's cause
with peaceful nearts, assuru that
the spectre of starvation viii not me-
nae the loved ones they leave be-
hind. This is at once the duty and
privilege of their fellow-countrymen.
and we appeal to the public to CO.
operate heartily in the discharge Of
the solemn obligation.
I'VE may add that though this as
sociation has been founded in view Of
the present crisis it may subsequently
happen that the result Of the work
done may suggest the advisability Of
continuing the association as perma-
nent institution"

night rejected the proposal of the con-
tractors ofthe city looking to settle
ment OF the present strike on a basis
that would make the contractors
judges of the wages paid to the mem-
bers of the union. The contractors
had sent a communication to the
union, agreeing to grant the demand
for an eight-hour day. provided the
question of the wage TO be received
by the men should be left discretion
airy with the employers Last night
the union met to consider this propo-
sition. The meeting was held at the
residence of Adolph Johnson. and prac-
tically all OF the union carpenters in
the city were present
After the meeting Secretary Souden
said the union had rejected the propo-
sition of the contractors, but declined
to 20 into details. Mr. Souden said:
'We have addressed letter to the
contractors rejecting their proposal
and pointing out reasons for doing so.
1t was decided at this meeting that the
letter should not be given out for pub
lication until after the contractors had
considered it. Further than to say
to you the union has rejected the pro-
position of the employers, am not at
liberty to divulge any further informa-
tion on the subject.
We expect the contractors will get
together tomorrow to take action on
the matter, and we anticipate a re-
ply by tomorrow night"
Does the union make any counter
proposal?" was asked
mo; we have merely rejected the
proposition and stated our reasons for
this action We have not receded from
the position heretofore taken by the
union. That about sums up the mat
ter without going into detail"
From the expressions of the union
carpenters yesterday before the meet
ing was held, it was plain the con-
tractors proposal would not be favor
ably considered AS has been pointed
out by members of the union, there
must be some standard of wages
some minimum scale-and the pro-
posal of the contractors, If accepted
by the union, would have abolished
this low wage scale. 1t is believed
this was the point upon which the
proposition hinged. The contractors
said some union men were worth more
than others, and, consequently, that 1t
was an injustice to require the employ
ers to pay the same wages to all The
carpenters individually admitted this.
but seemed to think the matter could
be easily enough adjusted by the con-
tractors, who were not compelled to
employ men not capable OF earning
the wage scale.
I'VE want an eight-hour day, and If
the contractors find union men who
are not worth SO for eight hours work
it's up to them to refuse to give them
work" said one of the men.
1t is believed the union has taken
this stand, although Secretary Souden
would not authorize any statement for
publication last night except that ap-
pearing above, and accredited to him.
No further action will be taken by
the carpenters union until the reply
of the contractors has been received.
