13 THE 3IORMN6 OREGOXIAX, FRIDAY, JUNE 7. 1907. STEAMER. ULCAN G0ESUP1N SMOKE Thousands View Spectacular Destruction of Steamboat on the Willamette. WOMAN'S NARROW ESCAPE Mla Laura Hardy, Cook1 of Steam boat, Falls Into River and Is Rescued by Mate Graham. Vulcan Is Total Loss. In a spectacular waterfront fire, which started from an unknown cause In her firereom at 9:30 o'clock last night, the river towboat Vulcan. Captain Ed Watts, of the Willamette & Columbia River Tow ing Company, was burned to the water's edge at Supple's doclr In a brief period of time. The damage could not be definitely stated during the darkness, but it will reach approximately 520,000. Only $6000 of insurance was carried, the most of that sum by the firm of Hartman & Thomp son. . Almost as though by a miracle no one was hurt. Miss Laura Hardy, the cook, had a thrilling escape, and owes her life to the bravery and calm Judgment of Mate O. Graham, who leaped overboard onto a scow and called to her to follow. Phe fell into the river, and would have drowned only for the heroic act of Gra ham, who plunged in and snatched her from death. She was escorted to the home of a friend and cared for. The fl re boa t George H. Williams wa s slow In getting into action, owing to the usual low pressure of steam in her boil ers, and words of condemnation were heard from the large throng that gath ered on the Morrison -street bridge until the firefighter passed through the draw and took up a position by Supple's dock, at the foot of East Yamhill street. When she began to play the large streams on the burning tugboat with telling effect, the thousands of persons lining the bridge railing praised the apparent effectiveness of her work. Chief Defends Fireboat. Although much criticism was heaped upon the action of the fireboat in getting into position. Chief -David Campbell de clared the fighter did excellent service, that she arrived very quickly and that Fhe did valiant service. 'You can't expect a fireboat to fly." said Chief Campbell. "As to the alleged low pressure of steam spoken of by some, it is not correct, for there is always suf ficient steam to move right out at a mo ment's notice. The fireboat, to my way of thinking, got out' quickly, took the proper position and behaved herself In excellent style, doing service that saved the greater part of the hull of the Vul can." Chief Campbell was enable to state the exact cause of the fire, but said It might have been an explosion in the oil tank or the engine-room. He Is of the opinion that the hull was not badly damaged, but not until this morning will it be possible to ascertain to any degree of certainty as to that point. The Vulcan was to have pulled out from the dock at 9:30 o'clock last night for Oak Point, for the purpose of taking a log raft in tow. Everything? was In readiness, and the members of the crew were gathering; at the com pany's office. Only one fireman was on board at the time the flames burst out; Mate Graham and Miss Hardy, the n r. o ilia vll i J vncia vl liic Li c r on board. Being saturated with oil, the Vulcan was quickly ablaze from end to end, and the whole waterfront was lighted up. An alarm was sent in from the box at East Water and East Morrison streets railing out the fireboat and several downtown companies. J. H. Frye. In charge of the Morrison-street bridge, states that when the fire broke out he Immediately pre pared to open the draw, so the fire boat could pass through without in terruption. He kept in readiness sev eral minutes, but the boat did not ap pear. Apparatus from the West Side cams dashing along., and the gates were opened to allow them to pass over. Frye states he then opened the draw and still the fireboat was not ready to pass through. Ocean-Going Steamship Scorched. When the fire broke out the Vulcan was tied to Supple's dock, close to the Astorla- THlamook steamship Sue H. Elmore. Be fore the fireboat arrived and towrd the tug Into the stream the bow of the El more was scorched, but she escaped other damage, although having a close call. It la said the. fireboat crew's action in pull ing the Vulcan out from the dock was the only thing that saved the' Elmore and nthr craft, as well as the dock and buildlncs.. The firehoat took up a position at the end of the dock, foot of East Yamhill street, where she was made fast by lines. Isarge streams were turned onto the fire In the Vulcan, and the great force parted the lines of the George H. Williams, throwing her into the stream. The crew soon got lines aboard the Vulcan, how ever, and towed her out from the dock, constantly pouring on terrific streams. It was fighting at red-hot quarters, and the crew of the fireboat bad also to look to the safety of their own vessel, as well ns to pare the tug. After an hour of hard work the firemen overcame the flames and towed the blackened hull to the public baths, where what remained of the tug was made fast. During the progress of the fire, thou snnds of people lined the south side of the Morrison-street bridge and all available space, the Jam, becoming so great as to endanger their lives. A squad of police cleared the structure, compelling the peo ple, many of whom were women, to "move on." Vulcan Probably aTotal Loss. Captain W. E. Jones, manager of the company owning the Vulcan, had reached his home but 15 minutes before the fire broke out. and was sitting at the dinner table when the alarm sounded. He hur ried to the dock, but by the time he ar rived the tug m-as practically destroyed. He was unable to make a definite state ment as to the damage, but said he would not be surprised If the vessel was almost a total los. Even the machinery. It is feared, will bft practically valueless, as it Is thought the cold water poured on would ruin the engines. The Vulcan was a stern-wheeler, 144 feet In length and 2fi feet beam. She was built in 1SS3 in J. H. Johnson's shipyard In this city, and has been engaged in the towing business ever since. She was a running mate of the Gamecock, the Maria and other towing craft, all owned by the Willamette & Columbia River Towing Company. Her destruction 1b particularly t.t r this time m'hen the river i high and the demand for logs is strong. The current Is so swift that at present the tugs are able to bring only compara " tlvejy small rafts-. o sudden was the destruction of the Vulcan that the crew were unable to take off any of their belongings.

JUSTICE BADLY DEFEATED Prosecuting Witness' Heart Softens and Drunken Vagabond Goes Free Wiberg . Lane fig ures in the Police Court. The law had Robert H. Timmons. of Twentieth and Division streets, in a tight corner yesterday, and from it he could hardly have escaped except that his abused and neglected wife effected a coup whereby it became necessary for the Mu nicipal Court to release the man. Five minutes before the wife appeared, the county might well have felt Justified in flguring on the increased output of broken rock Timmons' labor would produce at Kelly's Butte during the next three months. Timmons was at the bottom rung of the ladder. The past six months have seen him pass from usefulness to use lessness. No man with a wife and three children to think of ever hit the" down trail at a faster clip than did Timmons, and all because of a little domestic mis understanding which set him to drinking the first spree of the 10 years he had been married. The spree lengthened from hours into days, and from days into weeks and months. Drunkenness became the business, not the Incident, of his life. Very shortly the family funds were ex hausted and Mrs. Timmons and the chil dren were left on short rations. Of course. Timmons had plenty to eat. Sa loons very thoughtfully plan free lunches, so that the vagabond who loves drink will not have to waste any of his money in buying real food, so Timmons was able to live and grow fat on stale meat, fly specked bread, rank cheese and the other decadent edibles that' go to make up the average free lunch. ' A month ago Mrs. Timmons complained to the police q this treatment she was receiving. She said she did not' mind it so much for herself, but the children could not attend school without whole some food. Timmons was arrested, but his wife begged him off on his promise to do better. This occurrence was repeated two weeks ago, and again Timmons gained his release by promising to do better. It now develops that he went from the courtroom to the nearest saloon, got drunk, and remained drunk until re arrested. This time he was arrested for being a drunken vagabond. The evidence appeared to be of the best and It seemed a foregone conclusion the derelict father would now have his turv. among the vagrants, topers and other creatures of weakness and misfortune at the county rockpile. After the arrest Mrs. Timmons came mildly to the police station and volun teered to sign the complaint against her husband. She told a harrowing tale of cruelty and neglect, one that would have done full credit to the Russian frontier. She was at once permitted to sign as complaining witness in the case. Timmons appeared to appreciate the scant chance he had of escaping his Just deserts on this occa sion. He took no in terest in the case, barely glancing up when his wife was called as complain ing witness. A moment later. though, his interest in the proceedings grew intense. Mrs. Tim mons had changed front completely. In stead of telling from the witness chair of Timmons' lurid conduct as a husband and father, she spoke commending him. "He is a hard-working man and good to us." was her astounding declaration. "I thought you said he neglected and abused you?" suggested the court. "Only of late. . while he has been drunk." she replied. "I know he'll do the right thing if he gets another chance." Judge Cameron remarked that Timmons had been given too many chances al ready. But while he was not inclined to let Timmons off again, there was nothing else to do, inasmuch as Mrs. Timmons had been permitted to sign the complaint and now refused to testify against the prisoner. A new complaint might have been made out, but rather than do this the court said he would apply the final test and release Timmons on the man's written agreement that he would support his family, live in peace with them and remain sober. Timmons wtllinfcly signed and went away with his wife. It is hardly prob able he appreciates the fact that his wife's coup was planned in advance and executed with a subtle toet peculiar to woman.

ISSUES FINAL WARNING Men Caught Pilfering to Lose Jobs and Be Prosecuted Chief Rec ommends Dismissal for On Such Culprit. Any case of petty theft that may be detected among members of the fire de partment is to be sternly dealt with by Mayor Lane and the fire committee of the Executive Board. At the meeting of the committee yesterday a charge of pil fering was brought against E. W. Mer ritt, a member of Hose Company No. 1. As a result Mayor Lane gave instructions that hereafter, whenever any member of the department is detected looting while on duty, he shall Immediately be placed under arrest. Merritt will probably be dismissed from the service at a meeting of the Board today and a warrant may be sworn out for his arrest. The theft with which Merritt is charged was petty, hut the committee is resolved that every precaution shall be taken to keep the department free from any mis conduct of this character. The captain of Hose Company No. 1 reported to the Board that while the department was fighting the recent fire at the plant of the Portland Mattress Factory a large screw driver dropped out of Merritt's pocket. One of the owners of the factory was standing near and recognized the tool as his company's property. Chief Campbell recommended that Merritt be dismissed, and his report was approved, subject '.to action of the Board. "If any man in the department is found guilty of looting at fires he should not only be dismissed from service, but im mediately arrested." declared Mayor - . i i ii arm t naam n n - rr r w..- . -t"3s 7. ruf''r ' i 1 Woodlark Concord Grape Juice PURE FRUITY Per Pint - 25c Per Quart 50c Unequaled as a remedy for dis eases arista from impoverished Wood and nerveexhaustion.

After this, if the Chief leams of even the smallest theft at a Are, I wish he would have the man arrested at once. In this case, if the owner of the property will testify against Merritt, I would like to have the Chief swear out a warrant for Merritt's arrest. Any fireman who will steal while on duty ought to be on the rockpile, and we cannot get him there too soon." - O. Dunn, a ladderman of Truck No. 2, was also recommended for dismissal from the department. The charge against Dunn was that of leaving his headquarters after permission had been refused him. Chief Campbell reported that there had been other trouble with Dunn, and the committee thought it justified his re moval. Residents of Portland Heights -submitted to the committee a design for the new engine- house to be erected at Twentieth and Spring streets. The city had pre pared plans, but the citizens believe their design more artistic. The committee, however, refused to accept it,' as the cost would exceed the appropriation by $6000. It will cost $10,000 to carry out the city's plans, and as the appropriation is only $6000 It will be necessary to ask for more money. In the meantime the people of Portland Heights will be given an oppor tunity to submit another design for a less costly structure. ' The Fire Chief was instructed to write to the Goodyear Rubber Company to as certain why that concern had not made good its guarantee of firehose sold the department. Almost a year ago the Chief wrote to the company informing it that 600 feet of Paragon hose the city had bought under a guarantee for 40 months had decayed and was bursting under pressure. In reply to this letter the com pany promised to investigate, but did not do so, and Ignored a second letter from the Chief. As 11 months have passed and nothing has been done, the company will be given 10 days to satisfy the committee that the guarantee will be made good, and If it fails to do so the matter will be placed in the hands of the City Attorney. In response to a request from the man agement of the Rose Fiesta it was de cided that the department will partici pate In the parade for that event. The ' Chief was instructed to arrange to have a portion of the fire apparatus in line, appropriately decorated. TAKEN AFTER A LONG CHASE Three Men Put In Jail on Charge of Firing Three Buildings.
