THE MORNING OREGOXIAN, - SATURDAY, MAY 9, I90S. SHIP ANCA1QS IS LIBELED BY CREW Sailors Petition Court for Wages, Which Become Due at This Port. MARSHAL REED IN CHARGE Owners of Vessel Fail to Arrange Financial Matters Her and the I'nited States Conrt Heeds the Men's Claim Marine Xotes. The British ship Ancaios, . 1826 tons net register, was yesterday taken in charge by the United States Court on a libel issued by Attorney James Gleason. acting for Robert N. Allen and 13 members of the crew of the vessel, who petition the court for their salaries due on the voyage from New castle, N. S. W., to Portland, where they were to have been paid off. The G. T. Soley Company, Ltd., of Liverpool, England, are the owners of the vessel, and to repeated cablegrams requesting funds for, the payment of wages due the crew, have so far failed to respond, and appeal to British Vice Consul James Laidlaw failing, the men took action through the United States Court. Yesterday morning United States Marshal C. J. Reed formally took charge of the vessel on behalf of the court, and, according to marine law, will have charge for the next 20 days, during which time the owners will be permitted to liquidate the claims against the vessel. If, at the expira-' tlon of that -period, the owners fail to pay the claims against the vessel, she will be sold by the coBrt and all claims settled. The Ancaios arrived at Astoria April 21 with a cargo of coal consigned to the Pacific Coast Company from New castle, N. S. W. Her present crew was shipped at Sydney, Australia, arid ac cording to their articles, only for the voyage to Portland, hence their action In their efTort to recover the wages due. Captain Ritchie, who commanded the Ancaios on the voyage to Portland, is another whose wages are due. Just prloV to sailing for this port, Captain Rltchte notified the owner's that he would leave the vessel on her arrival at the Columbia River, and the com pany sent Captain Ferguson to Port land to assume command of the vessel. Captain Ferguson is now in command of the ship, although he has merely the supervision of the discharging of the cargo, which action is not to be inter fered with by the Government authori ties. In addition to the libeling of the vessel she had the misfortune to arrive too late to save her charter, which had been to carry wheat to the' United Kingdom for Balfour, Guthrie & Co. This firm cancelled the charter when the Ancaios failed to report on time. This is the first action of the kind taken against a British vessel in this port in a number of years, for as a rule claims against vessels overdue have usually been settled by the agents of the company at this port or through the British Consul. The failure to set tle the claims against the Ancaios is believed to indicate that her owners are financially embarrassed, although no word to that effect has been received here. The Ancaios is a British steel ship built at Greenook by Russell & Co. for the G. T. Souley & Co., Ltd., in 1891, and is of 1826 tons net register. She is the flagship of the Ancaios fleet of sailing vessels owned by that firm. Captain H. C. Nason, of the steam schooner Washington, and the Wash ington Marine Company, owners of that vessel, have instituted libel proceed ings against the owners of the steam schooner Minnie E. Kelton, which was picked up oft Yaquina Bay by the Washington and towed to Astoria. The disabled vessel is valued at $70,000 and her cargo at $3000 more, and the peti tioners ask to be awarded a reasonable sum as salvage for bringing the aban doned craft to port. THINKS ACTION UNWARRANTED Captain of Kelton Condemns Wash ington for Towing Derelict. ASTORIA, Or., May 8. (Special.) Cap-" tain James McKenna, of the derelict steam schooner Minnie E. Kelton, which was disabled and waterlogged off Taquina Head a few days ago, arrived here this morning to take possession of the craft as soon as her owners furnish bonds to have her released pending an adjustment of the salvage claimed by the owners of the steam schooner Washington for tow ing the derelict into. this port, negotia tions for a settlement of this being in progress in Portland today. Captain Mc Konna is in the best of health and shows no effects of his terrible experience on the disabled vessel, although he and his crew were 30 hours without food or water and battling with the elements in an ef fort to save their lives and their ves sel from destruction. He believes the action of the steamer Washington lh picking up the Kelton and towing her Into port was unwarranted, as the Kel ton. although waterlogged, was safely anchored and in no immediate danger. INQUIRY INTO KEITOX WRECK Inspectors Edwarda and Fuller Ex amine Officers of Craft. Investigation into the causes lead ing up to the disabling and partially wrecking of the steam schooner Min nie E. Kelton, from which vessel 11 of the crew perished during a storm off the Oregon Coast; on the morning of May 2, was commenced yesterday by United States Inspectors of Hulls and Boilers Edwards and Fuller, at the Custom-House. Captain McKenna, commander of the Ill-fated craft, and subordinate officers, First Mate Martin, Second Mace Mor tensen and First Assistant Engineer Carney, testified to the conditions ex isting from the time the vessel left Aberdeen until she mec disaster off Ot ter Rock, near the entrance to Yaquina Bay. According to Captain McKenna, the Minnie E. Kelton encountered a severe southwesterly blow on the second day out, which Increased in fury toward nightfall, and shortly after midnight the lashings holding the deckload of lumber in place, commenced to give way under the battering of the waves. The vessel sprung a leak," which put out the fires, causing her to lose head way and become helpless before the fury of the gale. On Sunday, May S, at 3:30 o'clock in the afternoon, 24 hours after having come to an anchor age, according to Captain McKenna's report, the Yaquina Bay Lifesaving crew rescued the survivors. In the meantime, 11 members of the crew were drowned by being washed overboard. or through the swamping of the life boat in which they had sought safety after being washed adrift on some of the lumber. , First Mate Martin testified to prac tically the. same conditions as told by Captain McKenna, and Second Mate Mortensen added nothing new to the testimony of those who preceded him. Assistant Engineer Carney told of the storm which dismantled the vessel. He said that the Kelton had left Grays Harbor leaking slightly, but not any more than ordinarily, and added that the first intimation of danger, he re ceived was from Chief Engineer Lund, who afterwards lost, his life by be ing washed overboard when his cabin was carried away by a huge wave, which sent It, together with a portion of the deckload of lumber, adrift. Car ney said that all that kept the Kelton afloat was her -lumber cargo and for a time those remaining on board the vessel had given up hope. The Inspectors will render a decision in the matter at some future date, as they intend probing the wreck inquiry further.

Both vessels cleared for Queenstown or Falmouth for orders. Owing to a shortage of towing facil ities it is likely that both vessels will remain in the stream until Monday or Tuesday before leaving down. Outward Cargo Light. The Portland & Asiatic Steamship Company's liner Nicomedia is likely to sail for Hongkong and other Oriental ports next week with the lightest out ward cargo in months. The reason for the probable shortage in cargo Is that a few days ago a tramp steamship was impressed into service to carry a large quantity of flour and grain to the Orient which was originally Intended for the Nicomedia. Expected orders have not materialized and It now ap pears that the big liner will have to start across the Pacific light, for tho flr&f time in months. Popular Steamer Returns. The steamship State of California, after an absence from this port of sev eral years, will sail frojn San Fran cisco for Portland this morning. In former days the State of California and the Columbia were the popular vessels plying between Portland and the Bay City. Of receni years the steamer has been running in the Alaska trade out of Seattle, or between Puget Sound and San Francisco. For a short time she was on the Panama run out of San Francisco. Shipbuilders In Session. The Pacific Coast Shipbuilders' Asso ciation, which was formed in this city several months ago, is now in session in Portland.

VOTE IN MANY PRECINCTS Petition Covering Entire East Side, Except Precinct 51, Is Among Those Thrown Out by the County Court. All petitions submitted by the liquor interests, asking that a vote be taken on the saloon question, were upheld by the Couny Court yesterday morning, while those petitions circulated ana filed by the Prohibitionists were de clared Invalid. The Prohibitionists made technical errors in framing their petitions. Which caused the court to throw out the document. The petition for the submission of the liquor ques ion on the entire East Side, with the exception of Precinct 51, was one of those defeated. Had the liquor Interests been sure that the petitions of the Prohibitionists would not have carried it is believed that they would have submitted no pe titions themselves. As It was, they hoped, by filing the petitions for the smaller districts to gain precedence over the cold-water people by priority of filing. In only one instance did this question enter into the decision of the Court yesterday, and that was in Pre cincts 101 and 103, Including Gresham and Powell Valley. A petition for sub mission of the question in Gresham and Rockwood had been filed, first, so it took precedence. The Court held that as the former petltionjncluded Rock wood it was invalid. A petition for the submission of the question in Gresham alone, however, is held to be valid. The Court said that in case Gresham voted wet and Gresham and Rockwood to gether voted dry, the whole territory would be dry; while In case Gresham alone voted dry, .while Gresham and Rockwood combined voted wet, the whole territory would be wet. , Include District Voted Dry. The reason the all-East Side petition was defeated was that it Included ground which was voted dry last year. In announcing his decision, in which Commissioners Lightner and Barnes concurred. Judge Webster quoted sec tion 12 of the local option law, which. reads: If at any time an election Hereunder shall result in prohibition for any subdivision of a county as a whole, or any precinct of said county, no election thereunder shall be held within said prohibition territory except an. election for the entire county, before the first Monday in June of the calendar year following. The territory on the East Side which is now dry is Precinct 60. and a por tion of Precincts 48 and 49. The vote will be taken In Precinct 60 because it is smaller than the old precinct, voted dry at the last election. The Court held that in order for a vote to be taken in that precinct a petition must be submitted for the same terri tory which'' voted in 1906, or a large piece of territory, including all that portion where the question went to vote in 1906. Frank B. Rutherford, counsel for the Prohibitionists, said no appeal from the decision of the County Court would be taken, as there are but three days in which this might be done. He was not satisfied with the ruling, however, and asserted that the County Court has no jurisdiction, as it is a question to be submitted to a higher court. The territory in which the liquor question will be submitted at the gen eral election, June 1, is as follows: Wirt riots That Will Vote.

City Engineer Taylor yesterday informed C. A. Bigelow, president of the East Side Business Men's Club, that he had ex amined the .conditions governing the old Improvement of East Morrison street, be tween Union avenue and the bridge, and had found that the city was obligated to maintain the plank roadway only for one year. It had been announced that the city was required to keep up the surface of the street for four years, of which period two years have expired. Mr. Taylor found that there is no such con tract, and that a permanent Improve ment may be made at once. Most of the property-owners who have been consulted favor Belgian blocks on concrete foundation, and this kind of Im provement will probably be adopted. How ever, In order that the street may be used by the automobile parade, Mr. Taylor assured Mr. Bigelow that he would have it thoroughly repaired. He has already Inspected the street and knows what is needed. Under the cir cumstances the committee of 20 from the club authorized to look after Bast Morrison street will not be appointed. Mr. Taylor also informed Mr. Bigelow that crushed rock had been ordered for Grand avenue, between East Stark and East Oak streets, where a fill is being made, preventing pavement at present with hard-surface material. Grand ave nue, south of Belmont to Hawthorne ave nue, will be repaired so that the automo bile parade may go that far south. Anniversary or Seamen's Society.
