War INSURAN
CAUSE OF SUIT
Shipping Firm Seeks to Re-
cover Value of Contra
band Seized by Russians
CAPTURE.OF THE ARABIA
German Steamships Seizure
by Vladiyostok Squadron
Is the Cause of Action

Balfour. Guthrie & Co. have brought
suit against the st. Paul Fire and Ma
rine Insurance Company for the re-
covery of $4,000 insurance money, to-
gether with interest and costs of ac-
ton. alleged to be due as result of
the seizure of the steamship Arabia by
the Russian Vladivostok squadron last
July. The Shipping firm claims that in
surance is due on 1000 sacks of flour
billed for Kobe and Nagasaki, which
arrived at vladivostok. The complaint
was filed by Frank & Mansfield. attor-
neys for Balfour, Guthrie & Co., In the
United States Circuit Court and the
insurance company has entered de-
murrer.
The Arabia, fomerly a Hamburg
American line vessel, was chartered for
three years by the American Trading
Company, which is affiliated with the
Oregon Railroad and Navigation
Company, a Hartman line. She last
left Portland July 8, 1904, bound for
Nagasaki and Kobe.
In her cargo she carried railway
and bridge material and a large ship
ment of -four, all of which is contra
ents. Balfour, Guthrie & Co. had on
board 5000 sacks of flour, valued at
S4350, bound for Kobe, and 1000 sacks,
valued at $3.50, bound for Nagasaki.
While the vessel was on the high
seas the commission company applied
to the st. Paul concern for war risk
insurance and took out policy for
$4,000. Shortly thereafter word came
that the Arabia had been seized. Bal
four, Guthrie & Co., made a claim for
the. insurance. which was denied on
the ground that the vessel was insured
after the seizure took place.
On Friday, July %. when the Arabia.
under command of Captain Bahle,
with crew of ten Germans and twen-
Yokohama, she was sighted by the
PEELED to heave to. Her papers were
examined, the contraband discovered
and Lieutenant Vladislale and prize
crew of forty-two men took her to
Saghalien and thence to Vladivostok.
In the squadron with the Gromobof
were the cruisers Rurik and Rosia,
subsequently sunk by Kamimura's
squadron.
The Arabia lay in Vladivostok har-
Dor twenty-eight days before released.
She could not be held longer because
less than half her cargo was contra
band. On August the prize court
condemned and seized the railway ma
terials and flour. Ninety 1atcars that
were part of the cargo were uncere-
moniously dumped overheard by the
Russians at the time of the seizure and
when the Arabia was released they
were rotting on the Siberian shore.

dealers in lodging houses, have been
charged with conspiracy to defraud by
c. B. Flodberg. former proprietor OF a
house at 1892 Market street. Flod-
berg filed suit against them yesterday
TO recover possession of the lodging
house and $1,000 damages.
Flodberg alleges that the defend
ants named came to him and informed
him that Miss Melvin had a farm
worth $500 nine miles from Kelsey
Vile, Lake County, the same having
a modern five-room cottage erected
thereon and the only incumbrance on
the property being a mortgage for
1896. Upon these representations,
Flodberg says, he traded his lodging
house for the property. When he
found the farm, however, he says 1t
was more than nine miles from Kel-
seyville there was no house upon it
and it was. not worth the face of the
small mortgage upon it.
He asks that the defendants be
compelled to return his lodging
house to him and that in addition he
be given Judgment against them for
$1,000 damages for the trouble and
annoyance they have put him to-

MAESTRETTI SAYS MEN
ARE, NOT PAID ENOUGH
Cashier Donahue's Salary Is to Be
Raised if Funds Are
Available.

Commissioner of Works Maestretti
yesterday defended the recent in
creases in salaries of employees in the
Engineers Office and the main Office.
Maestretti said that two assistant
engineers. F. c. Hermann and w. c..
Pidge, whose salaries were raised to
$500 per month, had severed their
connection with the city government
because they had secured more ad-
vantageous positions. The salaries of
5000 and $50 paid respectively to
bookkeepers are no higher than those
paid to first class men in business
houses the increased work incident>to
the positions warranting the increase,
Maestretti says.
Maestretti called attention to the
fact that the business of the cashiers
Office had increased to such an extent
that the estimated revenue from fees
for, 1904-1905 will aggregate 5000, 900,
an increase of 100000 over 1901-1902.
Maestretti declares that Cashier Dom
ahue is entitled to an increase in sal
ary and If funds are available he will
get 1t.

Mine Is Recovered.

The Supreme Court decided yester-
day that H. Duvergey must reconvey
S150,0O0 worth of mining property to
the estate of Robert Woodburn. The
deceased was weak mentally during
the last months of his life and while
in an incompetent condition sold the
valuable mine for $4,000. Suit for
recovery of the property was COM
menced previous to Woodburn's death
and was continued by the administra-
tors of the estate. Duvergey claimed
that the two certificates of deposit
with which the sale price was paid
must be returned to him, and as these
could not be found 1t was argued that
the property must remain in his
hands. The court ridicules this con-
