FIND SHIP WITHOUT A CREW
Afloat In Ocean, All Ship Shape,
Without Soul on Board.

Newport News, Va.-Another mys-
terry of the deep, practically parallel
ing the unexplained disappearance of
the crew of the schooner Marie Celeste
several years ago, has been reported
here by the British tank steamer Rou-
manian. On January 10, churning
along ten days out from Port Arthur
and near the Azores, she picked up
the Norwegian bark Remittent, sea-
worthy, provisioned and fully rugged,
but without soul aboard and with no
indication of the crews fate. The
Roumanian, after towing the Remit
tent to within 100 miles of Cape
Henry, lost her in violent gale.
The Marie Celeste was found at sea
with a pot boiling in her galley and
her captains papers on the cabin table
and every indication that her crew had
been aboard within few hours of her
discovery. But nothing ever was
heard of her skipper or crew.

United STATES CAN LEARN
American officer, Home From Far
Fast. Draws Conclusions.

Washington, D. C.-Major Munroe
Mcfarland, Twenty-ninth United
States Infantry, has arrived in New
York after nearly three months of
special duty at the scene of the war in
the Near East.
Although Major Mcfarland had am
pie credentials, the Bulgarian army
did not recognize them to the extent
of permitting him to go anywhere
near the battles. He took a horse
back ride from Belgrade down through
Macedonia to Salonika. He visited
Kumanova and Monastir and studied
the organization, tactics and methods
Of entertainment used by the Servian
and Bulgarian armies.
The Major thinks that the present
fighting will not amount to much and
that the war will soon be over. AL
though his position disqualified him
from expressing an opinion as to who
would be the victor, he said that his
study had shown him that the Ameri-
can army can learn much from the
work that has been done in actual
warfare by the armies of the allies.

FLORIDA FRUIT UNDER BAN
California Officials Order Citrus
Shipment Out of State.

San Francisco-Hope which has de-
veloped among some of the commits
sion houses that owing to the recent
cold weather in Southern California
supplies of grapefruit might be drawn
from Florida, were badly shattered by
the action of the State Horticultural
commissioner, when carload OF
grapefruit was stopped and the owners
received the 48-hour notice customary
in such cases. This car must be sent
out of the state and the consignees
will ship it North, where there is no
citrus industry to be guarded.
The fruit was found to be infested
with the Florida red scale and the pur-
pie scale.
This is the second car of grapefruit
to come through from the Florida cit
rus section. An experimental car was
received last week, and being free
from insect pests was promptly alb
sorbed by the local market.
The horticultural commissioners
want it understood that this fruit was
not stopped because it came from Flor
ida, the quarantine having been
raised December II, but because it
carried Florida fruit pests that are not
wanted in California.

LINKING AMERICAS BY RAIL
Continuous Trip From New York
to BuenOs Ayres Soon.

Washington, D. 'C.-The linking of
the Americas by rail would be of
great value as peace propaganda
among the different countries of North
and South America, in the opinion of
Andrew Carnegie. This belief was
exhibited by Mr.. Carnegie at a meet
ing here of the permanent Pan-Ameri-
can Railway committee, of which he
is member, when reports of the link
ing Of the Americas by rail were read,
indicating that progress is being made
towards this project.
Henry Gassaway Davis, former SEN
ator from West Virginia, presided at
the meeting.
In Central America only Is miles of
line remain to be constructed to make
practical railway journey to Guate-
mala City, Construction is well I'M
der way at San Miguel, Salvador.
From this point to the Panama canal,
600 miles away, several links have
been constructed, and plans for others
are we'll advanced.
In South America only ITS miles
are still to be constructed between
Buenos Ayres and Lake Titicaca and
the line has been completed from the
latter point to Cuzco, Peru, 1000 miles
from Buenos Ayres. In Bolivia,
Chile, Colombia, Peru and Ecuador
progress has been made.
The committee will make a full re-
port to the next Pan-American con-
ference, which probably will be held
in some South American capital in the
course of the coming year.

COMMISSION MEN
ARE INDICTED.
Portland Produce Dealers al
legged to In Trust.
Fifteen Prominent Merchants Re-
ceive Attention of Federal
Grand Jury.

Portland, Or.-Grand jurors in the
Federal court have returned indict-
ments against Is fruit and produce
dealers on Front street, charging them
with unlawful conspiracy in restraint
of trade and in violation of the Sher-
man antitrust act. The men indicted
assert their innocence of law-break-
ing.
Every commodity that the average
family requires for its daily food sup
ply, with the exception of meat, it is
alleged, is controlled by the group of
men under indictment, with the result
not only that the prices to the consum-
ing public are greatly increased, but
that all dealers not members of the al
legged combination are and have been
prevented from doing business.
Eleven of the Is men against whom
true bills were returned have been ar
rested and have given $1,000 bail each.
They are E. A. Bamford, C. N. Dilley,
Timothy Pearson, w. A. Mansfield,
w. H. Dryer, Herbert B. McEwen,
Mark Levy, Charles R. Levy, Ed B.
Levy, Ben Levy and G. w. Cardwell.
w. B. Glafke, John A. Bell, Fred
A. Page and John J. Cole are under
Indictment, but have not been arrested
-Glafke because he is visiting his
mother, who is ill, and the three 9TH
ers because they are out of the city.
They have been advised by their asso-
ciates to return and submit to arrest.
The defendants, individually and
collectively, are among the leading
commission men on Front street.
Many of them have been in business
here for long time. While they ad-
nit the existence of the Produce Mer-
chants association of Portland, they
deny that it tends to stifle competition
or that it manipulates prices.
The center of activity during the
grand jury's Investigations and the
probable star witness when the case
come to trial is j. w Bum, the secre-
tary of the organization, who has been
