This was one of the worst marine disasters recorded in the North Pacific district, and the accident Is said to be directly due to the short handed crews of the two vessels. STRIKE AT SUPPLE'S YARDS Shipwrights Demand Extra Pay for Work on City Craft. Twenty shipwrights and carpenters em ployed by Joseph Supple at his yards on the East Side yesterday, walked out on strike because their demands of an in crease of tl a day for all work performed for the city, state or Government. When the men reported for work yes terday morning they were informed that they would receive the regular scale of J4 a day while making the necessary re pairs to the Port of Portland tug John McCraken. TrTe men balked and wanted $5 a day for this work, which, they con tend, is the customary wage paid for all work done for the Government or the city. Mr. Supple refused to listen to the de mands of the men and informed them that he would fill their places immedi ately. When asked whether the strike would affect his work, Mr. Supple replied that all work will be resumed Saturday morning, as he says he has sufficient force of men available to continue the operation of his plant. BLOCKED BY GREAT ICE PACK Steamships Ohio and Yucatan Hav ing Hard Struggle to Reach Xome. SEATTLE. June 19. Surrounded by Ice. the steamships Ohio, from Seattle end Yucatan, from San Francisco, are struggling slowly toward their destina tion, the port of Nome, which at latest advices was still 200 miles distant. The Northwestern, which arrived at Nome last night reported the other two ships off Cape Romanzof, almost due south of Nome. The Transit, sent from Victoria by Schubach and Hamilton and the Uma tilla from Seattle, June 4. have not yet been reported and are supposed to have taken some other course to get through the almost impassable ice pack which oc cupied the south of Bering Sea this year. The report regarding the Ohio and Yu catan was received this morning by cable from Nome and indicates that the North western had arrived and reports the two vessels "In the ice off Romanzof; all well."

However, the waters rose high enough to place the Cascade Locks temporarily out of com mission, and all upper Columbia River navigation "west of The Dalles has ceased for the time being. IXEBUIATE FALLS OVERBOARD Rescue Accomplished Just in Time by James Blanchard. An unknown man considerably under the influence of liquor fell off the dock at the foot of Washington street about 5:30 o'clock last night, and had it not been for the promptness of James Blanch ard the fellow would have drowned. Blanchard managed to get a rope around, themah's body and hauled him to safety. The! fellow refused to give his name, and barely thanking his rescuer wandered up town. Commander Pond Readies Portland Commander Charles F. Pond, U. S. I N., who is to relieve Commander P. J. Werlich, in charge of the Thirteenth Lighthouse District, arrived in Port land yesterday.

Association Has Option on Property Adjoining Until July 1 Baby Home in Good Condition. At a special meeting of the board of directors of the Baby Home, held yesterday in the Chamber of Commerce auditorium, the question was discussed of the practicability of purchasing the lot immediately adjoining the present property of the institution at Thirty seventh and Ellsworth street, in the Richmond district. The association has an option until July 1 on the prop erty in question, the price being a lit tle less than $5000. It was shown that the association has on hand about $600 in cash, and a subscription of $1900, which subscription will not be available until the entire amount of the purchase price of the lot has been secured. The special committee, com posed of H. H. Northup and F. S. Akin, in charge of the project, was requested to continue its efforts to raise the entire amount. Messrs. Northup and Akin expressed the opin ion that the sum necessary to .purchase the property can be raised within ten days, or before the expiration of the option. Thjp secretary's report showed that at the present time there are Just 50 babies in the home. Of these 21 are known as tiny or bottle babies. There has been no sickness of consequence in the home during the past six months. On Thursday the first death occurred during the same period. As the baby was in a low condition at the. time it Was received and died 24 hours later ,this death has no bearing on the present condition of the home. Secretary Akin announced that the proceeds from the recent charity ball in aid of the institution amounted to $563.05. Those present at the meeting were Mrs. O. M. Scott, Mrs. D. C. Burns, Mrs. E. J.

Unseasonable weather apparently Is dis couraging many Portland people from attending The Oaks, the popular amuse ment resort of the Portland Railway, Light & Power Company. This is the only explanation that can be attributed by the management to the light attend ance, for all arrangements have been provided for the comfort and entertain ment of those visiting the resort. "I don't believe the people of Portland really appreciate the high class attrac tions we are offering at The Oaks." said B. S. Josseiyn, president of the railway company, yesterday. - "The bympnony Orchestra, directed by Waldemar Lind, a violinist of rare ability, gives a concert every afternoon, and In the evening the Allen-Curtis Comedy Company gives' an entertainment that is the equal, of any thing to be seen in the playhouses of this city.

FOR SALE AT ALL DRUGSTORES APPLICATIONS AT PROMINENT BARBER SHOPS TAKES FIRM -STAND Inspector Dobson Objects to Special Permits. IN FIGHT WITH COUNCIL Will Appeal to Courts Against Au thorized Aiolation of City Fire Ordinances by State Senator Nottingham and Others. Building Inspector Dobson, appointed but two weeks ago by Mayor Lane, has determined to know his rights under the ordinances regulating his office, and in taking Uiis stand, is engaged in oppos ing the City Council and State Senator Nottingham. From the present status of the case, it seems that the Inspector will probably win. He has attacked the hitherto unquestioned rijrht of the Coun cil to grant special privileges to individ uals and declared to the members of the committee on health and police yester day morning that he will test out the case In the courts. Four weeks ago Senator Nottingham appeared before the Council and sought an ordinance granting to him the right to repair a frame building, located on East Washington street, between East Third and East Fourth -streets. Although Building Inspector Dobson was then acting Inspector, appeared and pro tested, the Council voted the permit. It was promptly vetoed by Mayor Lane, and passed over his veto at the following meeting of the Council. While the wording of the ordinance called for the construction of a hallway, connecting two frame buildings, it de veloped that, m a section further along the right is given to build frame struc tures on the entire block, should Mr. Nottingham sea fit. Inspector Dobson kept, his eye on the building, and when it became apparent that it was the in tention of Mr. Nottingham to build a new frame house, Mr. Dobson secured a war rant for the arrest of Mr. Nottingham. After the warrant was served. It now de velops, the building operations were con tinued. Yesterday morning L. A. McNary. ex- City Attorney, appeared on behalf of Senator Nottingham and sought relief from the interference of Building In MRS. SAMUEL DECKER.

The latter, hearing of the matter, came to the meeting and an nounced in plain, but guarded language, that he proposes to see whether or not the City Council can go ahead, contrary to the rulings of City Attorney Kavan augh, and grant special permits, and whether the Council, in this matter, can nullify all the ordinances regulating the building operatiotis of the city. Mr. McNary told Inspector Dobson that, after having protested against the per mit before the Council, it is out of place and in poor taste for Mr. Dobson to in sist upon stopping Senator Nottingham from work on the frame structures in the fire limits. Mr. Dobson, however, stood firm and said he would proceed to press the case in court, in order to ascertain his rights. . The City Council has long been In the habit of granting special permits to per sons to do various things, all of which. City Attorney Kavanaugh" has ruled, is illegal. It is class legislation, he holds, and is null and of no effect. Mr. Dobson declares he believes he will win the fight. FIGHT OVER PERMIT PDWER COUNCIL- may take it from EXECUTIVE BOARD. Committee Favors Delegating Duty to Fire Chief, Marshal and Building Inspector. A big fight is promised between Mayor Lane, the Executive Board and the politi cal friends of the Mayor and the "solid ten" faction of the City Council over a recommendation of the committee on health and police, taking from the Execu tive Board the power of granting permits to "nickelodions-' and moving-picture shows, and placing it in the hands of Fire Chief Campbell, Deputy Fire Mar shal Roberts and Building Inspector Dobson. Heretofore it has been the pre rogative of the Board to Issue such per mits. Councilman Baker, who has just fitted up a nlckelodion establishment, voiced the sentiment of the faction of the Council, of which he is a member, when he declared that, if an applicant for a permit had an enemy on the Ex ecutive Board, he might be held up for ever and could not do any business. Councilman Baker was present as a visitor, not being a member of the com mittee on health and police, but he took the most active part in the proceedings. The new ordinance, making stringent rules and regulations for "nickelodions" and one provision prohibiting any such appy at 107 Mrs. Samuel Decker, of Seneca Falls, N. Y., Is a Living Example at 107 Years of Age of What a Pure Tonic-Stimulant and Invigora tor Will Do for Old People. Mr. Decker, her husband, in an interview on January 24th with our correspondent, said: "I want to tell you that Mrs. Decker is using your medicine. She is 107 years of age. We know that it has done her a great deal of good. It is a wonder ful medicine, and we could not get along without it. We will teJl alt old people to use it, and we want every one to know what it has done for us. It is the only thing that keeps Mrs. Decker alive. We send you her picture and you can publish this letter in any paper you wish with her picture." I have tjlven your Her-i!cide a thorough test. I can cheerfully say that it is the best Hair Tonic I have ever used. It will be one of our household remedies from now on and will surely recommend same to all my friends and acquaintances.

After the committee had voted to rec ommend the ordinance for passage, with the amendments regarding the power of issuing permits. Councilman Baker se cured the services of Councilman Annand In drafting a provision, exempting "all frame buildings which have been used as thea-ters for one year." This clause per mits Mr. Baker, should he wish, to in stall moving-picture' apparatus in either of his frame theaters. Death Rate Falls In Canal Zone. WASHINGTON, June 19.

I ask you to call at my office and talk with me about it. Examination and consultation will cost you nothing, and I will explain to you my methods of curing.

MY TREATMENT FOR WEAKNESS Functional derangement, such as prema ture loss of power, etc, is neither a "weak ness" nor a disease. It is a symptom of pro static disorder. To stimulate activity by the use of powerful tonics is an easy matter, but such results are merely temporary drug ef fects. Most doctors treat "weakness" in this manner because they do not know how to cure the real cause of the derangement. My treatment is a local one entirely and corrects every abnormal condition of that vital cen ter, the prostate gland. My cures are per- VJ;T.r,0S REEMY- HONEST AND CANDID ADVICE COSTS TOU NOTHING.
