14 TIIE MORNING OREGONIAN. FRIDAY, MARCH 13, 1914. VESSELS' DAMAGES ESTIMATE $80,000 Cricket and Glenroy Probably Will Be Docked Today Pre paratory to Repairs. INSPECTORS MAKE REPORT ltieh of Cargo in Holds Expected to Be Unharmed Two Canaries Per. ish but One Found Singing. Chickens Escape, Too. Feuding instructions from owners and underwriters the Royal Mail liner Glenroy and the steam schooner Cricket, damaged yesterday in the fire that destroyed Columbia Dock No. 2 and Montgomery Dock No. 1, will be shifted today to prepare for repairs, the Glenroy to the North Bank dock and the Cricket to Couch-street dock. Captain I Veysey. Lloyd's surveyor, made an offhand estimate o'f the dam age to the Glenroy at $20,000 and Cap tain McNaught, representing the San Francisco Board of Marine Underwrit ers, said the Cricket damages might reach J60.000. A complete report of the matter was cabled to the Royal Mail Steam Packet Company last night and it is expected that most of the repairs will be made here, as the vessel cannot proceed without n, large amount of work. The machinery in both vessels is intact. From forecastle to poop on the deck of the Glenroy are strewn remnants of what were once deekgear the forward house of the superstructure being at most wiped out with the bridge. Cap . tain Veysey after an inspection of the side of the ship said that while there were plates "crimped" he did not re- jrard the damage sufficient to warrant their removal. Small After-Blase Reported. Fire was reported in the afterhold at 11 o'clock yesterday morning, but It was quickly extinguished. None of the cargo below was injured, except by water. " Captain Holman, of the Glenroy, re mained aboard until the last person left the vessel, those not jumping into the water having slid to the barge on the starboard side. When the flames reached the bridge a small magazine there, containing blue' lights, exploded, and while there was a loud report, it did little damage. Two canaries on the Glenroy met death, but one belonging to J. Jeffrey, steward, was singing merrily when his room was opened after the fire, while a coop of chickens aft emerged wltn feathers intact It is estimated that the Glenroy, which was built in 1901, is valued in England at from $135,000 to $140,000, or would be held in this country for probably $200,000. On the steamer Cricket about a dozen of her crew huddled about the forecastle yesterday, viewing a sight that was not at all pleasing, for one of the finest steel steam schooners on the Coast that made her first voyage April 1, 1913, was a mass of charred steelwork. The deck was strewn with countless hoops that formerly bound barrels of asphalt and several drums that had been filled with gasoline. She was swept clean aft to her house and her bridge had about as little semblance of the original structure as did that of the Glenroy. 4000 BarrelH of Asphalt Carried. Edward Beck, third mate, said the vessel berthed at Montgomery Dock No. 1 at 8 o'clock Wednesday night to "discharge a shipment of sulphur and was to have dropped down to the Barber Asphalt Company's dock to un load 4000 barrels of asphalt, and that when the fire started there was no time in which to get the ship away and 1400 barrels of asphalt on deck were ablaze almost immediately. Two men went over the side and were picked up by the harbor patrol. The fireboat David Campbell got a line aboard the Cricket after she began drifting from her berth and tried to tow her away from the line of docks. There were from 10 to 15 drums of gasoline on deck and they were re sponsible for small explosions. Cap tain John Wehman and remaining memters of the crew got away in a lifeboat. The Cricket's deck was bady warped, and while two cars of sugar In the hold are thought to have been dam aged, considerable stuff is expected to be discharged in fair condition. Har bormaster Speier took temporary charge of the vessel last night and pi iced one of his men aboard to main tain required lights. OFFICES TO BE OX DOCK XO. 1 Commission Makes Electric Contract for Three-Year Period. Sebinger Bros, are to build ofllces for the Commission of Public Docks at Municipal Dock No. 1, having been awarded a contract at yesterday's meeting on a bid of $1995. A tempor ary wall of corrugated iron at the north end of the first unit is to be built by A. W. Horn for $C10. Bids were opened for heating that dock, as well as the Stark-street landing, but an award was deferred. The Commission debated on the length of time' a contract should be entered into with the Port and Rail way, Light & Power Company for lights and electric po-er, the City At torney having advised that it should be for a period of one year so as to ter minate when the city contract did. Commissioners Selling and Kellaher were of the same mind, but Commis sioners ' Mulkey, Burgard and Moores said bids were asked for 'three years and they accordingly carried a motion for that length of time. Arrangements were made for full fire protection and the employment of temporary watch men on dock No. 1. The Pacific States Telephone & Telegraph Company ap plied for space on dook No. 2, to be built on the East Side, to be used as a cable house. It was decided to as certain if the Home Telephone & Tele graph Company also desired space be fore taking action. Xews From Oregon Ports. COOS BAY, Or., March 12. (Special.)

Booth to Combine Factions. BUSINESS MEN SUPPORT Bankers, Merchants and Lawmakers Line Up for Senatorial Candi date as Logical Man to Halt Warring Sides. HILJJSBORO, Or., March 12. (Spe cial.) Republicans generally in Oregon are looking to Robert A. Booth, of Eugene, to reunite the factions of the party, if the attitude of many promi nent members of the party in Wash ington County may be taken as a cri terion. Several of these men interviewed prior to the announcement of Jonathan Bourne that he would not be a pri mary candidate expressed themselves strongly in favor of Mr. Booth and were anxious that Mr. Bourne should not enter the race. This feeling did not arise from any fear that Mr. Bourne might capture the nomi nation, but from a recognition of the fact that Tie has many supporters in the Republican ranks and a desire to promote unity by giving the unant mous primary indorsement of the party to Mr. Booth. "I consider Bob Booth the one roan in the State of Oregon best qualified to bring together the warring factions of the Republican1 party and gain suc cess at the polls in November," said E. W. Haines, president of the First National Bank of Forest Grove. "His political record is clean and progressive and he is known all over the state as a man of high moral principles and sterling character. Co-Worker Knowa Man Wtll. Mr. Haines Is ex-State Senator from Washington County, and for one term was president of the" State Senate. He served as State Senator with Mr. Booth and recalls the latter as a man who always supported progressive though not fanatical legislation and who never allowed himself to be swayed by po litical expediency. "Mr. Booth appeals to me as being the man who can bring the party to gether and make It possible for Re publican Oregon to be represented in the United States Senate by a man at tached to the principles of that party," said Charles O. Roe, prominent furni ture dealer at Forest Grove and a mem ber of the county central committee. George Hancock, cashier of the Firat National Bank, ex-Sheriff of the county, is another man who is active in supporting Mr. Booth. "If the Republicans of Oregon can not get together on Mr. Booth and elect him to the United States Senate, there is no hope of ever securing a united party," declared Mr. Hancock. "Booth is a man who should meet the views, as- nearly as they can be met, of Republicans of all shades of be lief." Another Banker I Champion? A. C Shute, of the American National Bank, well known as a Progressive Re publican, is ardently supporting the candidacy of Senator Booth. While on a business trip to Portland a month or two ago he became acquainted with Mr. Booth, and after a talk with the latter on political questions went back to Hlllsboro an enthusiastic Booth sup porter. , "Mr. Booth is a man of strong per sonality; the type of man who Im presses one with his absolute sincerity as to the progressive ideas he advo cates in his platform." remarked Mr. Shute. "He must appeal to the think ing voter with the best Interests of the state and society at heart." "I am very much in favor of Mr. Booth, and can be counted upon to support him with all the energy at my command until the last vote is counted in the November election," said W. D. Smith. Justice of the Peace. E. B. Tongue, District Attorney for Washington County, who formerly oc cupied the same position for a district comprised of Clatsop. Columbia, Clacka mas and Washington counties, is an out-and-out Booth man. The same is true of Thomas H. Tongue. Jr., his brother. Both expressed themselves as actuated by a desire to see Republicans in Oregon get together and elect a United States Senator. They are con vinced that no better man can be found than Mr. BoothMo undertake the task of bringing about party unity. Senator and ex-Senator Aides. ' Dr. "W. D. Wood, present State Sen ator from Washington County, and W. N. Barrett, who formerly occupied that position, are active in supporting Mr. Booth's candidacy. "I was much pleased," said Mr. Barrett, "when Mr. Booth came out for the nomination, as it struck me he was about the best man that could be found to bring the Republican voters solidly together in support of the principles of their party. "I don't think there Is any question but that Mr. Booth can get the nom ination against any opposition which might develop, and then he can be elected In November," was the state ment of Dr. Wood. Others in Hlllsboro- who strongly favor the candidacy of Mr. Booth in clude John W. Connell, general mer chant; John Dennis, chairman Repub lican county central committee; Benton Bowman, attorney; B. P. Cornelius, ex postmaster; B. W. Barnes, County Superintendent of Schools; E. B. Sap plngton. County Treasurer;. John Nyberg, County Commissioner, and Ed ward Killen, publisher and editor of the Hillsboro Independent. Papers Give Support. Air. Killen is actively supporting Mr. Booth's candidacy through Ms news paper, and other papers of the county who have offered their support to Mr. Booth include the Forest Grove Times. A. E. Scott, -editor: the Forest Grove Press, George Currey. editor, and the Beaverton Owl, Earl E. Fisher, editor. Other promiuent men in Washington County who express themselves as well Impressed with what they have read and been told concerning Mr. Booth in clude B. F. Purdy, associated with Mr. Booth in legislative work, business man. Forest Grove: J. A. Thornbergh and W. W. MeEldowney, president and cashier, respectively, of the Forest Grove National Bank; D. B. Reasoner, County Judge of Washington County; Charles Hancock, merchant of Cor nelius; George Thyng. F. W. Cady and VV. E. Pegg, business men of Beaver ton; William Vallandingham, attorney of Hillsboro, and many others. Mr. Thornbergh was a strong Roosevelt supporter at the last election. Washington is one of the few coun ties in the state in which Mr. Booth has not a large acquaintance, and there Is an active demand that he go through the county and get acquainted, a thing which Mr. Booth contemplates doing in the near future. In the mean time the sentiment towards him is generally favorable, and those who do UNIFICATION know him personally feel certain that a visit will have the effect of gaining many active" supporters. COURT HELD IN RESIDENCE Judge, Jury, Attorneys et al., Going to Rose City Park Today. Charles S. Wolverton, judge of the United States District Court, will hold court at the residence of Wlllene Agnes Booth, 636 East Sixty-sixth street, in Rose City Park today, this morning, taking with him the jury in the case of A.
