TUG AND HOUSEBOAT
Collision Near Morrison-Street
Bridge.
NO ONE TO BLAMB FOR IT
Resolute Plows a Hole Into Inman's
New Duck-Shooting Quarters
Heavy Freight Traffic on
Regulator Line.
A collision that caused no little ex
citement on the water front occurred
about 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon Just
below the Morrlson-etreet bridge. As a
result of it the tug Resolute has a broken
bow and R. D. Inman's brand-new house
boat will require a new guard and some
other repairs.
The houseboat, which is to serve as
quarters for the Dead Willow Duck Club,
was launched at. Stipple's yard last
"Wednesday. It Is a somewhat elaborate
affair, 30x60 feet, and fitted up com
fortably for the members of the gun club
and the keeper of their shooting preserve
down the river. The boat was being
towed down to Sauvie's Island when the
accident occurred. The steamer Elkkader
had the craft in tow and had just passed
under the bridge. As she reached the
lower end of the drawrest, the Resolute
suddenly hove in view. The tugboat had
taken a plledrlver over to the East Side
and was coming back square across the
river. The woodwork of the drawrest hid
each boat from the view of the other
Captain, and the collision was unavoid
able, as neither boat had whittled, not
having had occasion to do so.
The Resolute struck the houseboat a
blow on the side that would havo cut
into the cabin and sunk it but for a pile
of lumber lying on the guard. As it was,
the guard was splintered. A number of
planks were torn from the bow of the tug,
hut no other damage, apparently, was
done. The Resolute steamed over to Sup
ple's yard for an examination, while the
Elkkader continued down stream with her
tow.
The steamer Bailey Gatzert was Just
landing at her dock, and the perform
ance, almost under her bow, created
great excitement among the crowd of
passengers aboard of her. From the na
ture of the collision neither of- the Cap
tains engaged In the affair can be
blamed.
a blade off her propeller. She Is now on
the beach having the blade repaired.

MUDDY WATER IN COLUMBIA.
River Men Make a Discovery They
Cannot Explain.
Steamboat men running up the Colum
bia report an unusual occurrence In the
way of muddy water that they would
like to have some one explain. There
have been no rains, cloudbursts or other
disturbances east of the mountains to roil
the usually clear water of the Columbia,
and they are at a loss to account for the
phenomenon. It was first noticed last
week a few miles below The Dalles. The
color of the river suddenly changed from
a bluish-green, the customary tinge, to a
dirty, muddy shade, such as Is usual In
Winter time. "When the water was drawn
up in a bucket and allowed to stand for a
few minutes. It gave a heavy precipitation
of mud and sand. A few days later the
same discolored water was seen at the
Cascades, and since then reports have
come from as far down as ICalaroa, call
ing attention to it. At the latter point
it is regarded as a nuisance, as It has
prevented the run of fish.
No one Is able to explain why the water
should become muddy at this time of
year, but It Is thought to be due In soma
manner to the unusually low stage to
which the river has fallen.

Score of Women and Children Have
to Be Rescued From Tenement.
NEW TORK, Sept. 10. More than a
score of women and children were rescued
from a fire In a five-story tenement-house
at 501 Tenth avenue early today. The
blaze started under a stairway on the sec
ond, floor and spread quickly to the roof.
One woman was confined to her bed by
illness, and the flames had reached her
room when a fireman stove in the window
and carried her down the fire-escape. Her
husband and children who had remained
In the flat, were carried down extension
ladders by the firemen. So quickly did
the flames spread through the tenement
that the families living above the second
floor had no time to gather clothing.
Twelve families occupied the second and
third floors, and all had narrow escapes,
losing everything they possessed.
The most sensational rescue of the fire
was when a mother and two children were
taken from the ledge of a fourth-story
window. It was' made after a conspicu
ous show of bravery and resourcefulness
on the part of two laddermen. The wom
an and children had been driven from
their apartment by the flames, and were
clinging to the ledge crying for help when
the firemen arrived on the scene. When
a 35-foot ladder was thrown up against
the side of the burning . building it fell
four feet short of the fourth-story win
dow. There was no time to make a
change, and the two men rushed up the
ladder. '
Balancing himself on the . top round
whilo his companion firmly grasped his
legs from a more secure position below,
the ladderman caught the children as the
mother dropped them into his arms, pther
firemen "had taken positions on the ladder
by this time, and the rescued ones were
passed, safely down from their dangerous
position.
FlftEBOAT iS EFFICIENT
BUT IT WAS NOT WELL MANAGED
' AT WATERFRONT FIRE.
Fire Commissioners Investigate and
Find That the Failure Was Due
to Negligence.
Flreboat No. 1, known as George H.
Williams, Is all right, according to the
Fire Commissioners, who passed upon
the efficiency of the boat yesterday after
noon on a sudden alarm called by Chief
Campbell from box 213, located- at East
Water and East Morrison streets.
The questions which arose as to the
boat were raised one week ago when a
fire started on the west side of the river,
at the foot of Yamhill street, and almost
burned through to Morrison street before
the fire boat got Into action. Chief
Campbell was indignant over the show
ing made by the flreboat, and at once
started an investigation, which resulted
In the removal of Stoker Ed Brown. The
man removed tried to place the blame on
Engineer Kellogg. All of the testimony
in the case was read yesterday before
the Commissioners, and the committee of
the Executive Board took the matter un
der advisement, and later rendered the
following decision:
The Fire Commissioners of the City of Port
land, Or., consisting of the Mayor, Mr. Flled
ner and Mr. Curtis, having had under consid
eration the Question as to the failure of the
flreboat at the Arc on Saturday, September 3,
1D04, to operate as was expected, and having
heard all the evidence read and having
given the matter due consideration, find as
follows: ,
That in their Judgment the stoker, 3D. Brown,
was guilty of inexcusable negligence in not
starting the fires as directed by the chief en
gineer of the flreboat. and In not having suf
ficient coal at the bunker doors to do the
work required, andln not signaling the chief
engineer as. to the condition of the water in
the pumps in consequence of which the steam
was insufficient for tho. purpose of propelling
the boat ' and pumping the water so as to
make the work of the boat effective in extin
guishing the Are. For the reasons abovo
stated, and for the further reason that charges
of neglect on duty have heretofore been pre
ferred against him, we approve of the suspen
sion of Stoker Brown by the Chief Engineer
of the Fire Department, and think he should
be dismissed, and he Is hereby dismissed from
service in the Fire Department.
"We further find that, on account of ex
cessive anxiety to make a good record for
the boat at its first trial at a Are, the large
turret was used before there was a sufficient
amount of steam to supply the propelling en
gines and the pumps at the same time.
We further find that there is no defect of
any nature' or description in the boat or in
its machinery, and that tho failure of the
boat to operate at the fire on the 3d Instant
as was expected was due to the negligence or
mistakes of the persons who managed the boat.
Wo further find that after the necessary
amount of steam was supplied; the boat was
very effective In cxtlngutehlng the fire, and
came up to the expectations of all who wit
nessed the action of the boat on that occasion.
GEORGE H. WILLIAMS.
WILLIAM FLIEDNER.
ED D. CURTIS,
Fire Commissioners.
Prior to the trouble specified In the
charge against Brown, complaint had
been made to Chief Campbell that Brown
had been asleep while on watch. Brown
was called on the carpet and given a
reprimand and advice. He promised to
do better, but as a precautionary meas
ure the chief applied to the Civil Service
Commission for a man to take Brown's
place. There was no man available at
the time, and the fiasco followed. Chief
jampoeii says isrown is" a guuu simver,
but became too careless to hold a posi
tion In the Fire .Department, which ne
cessitates activity at all times and a quick
response to the fireman's call.
THEIR CAPACITY TAXED.
Regulator Steamers Loaded Down to
Guards With Klickitat Wheat.
The steamers of the Regulator line are
having a busy time of it now handling
the grain crop of the Klickitat Valley.
The Bailey Gatzert yesterday brought
down 180 tons of wheat, amounting to
nine carloads, from Lyle, and as she also
carried 10 tons of fruit and 10 tons of
hay and other produce, there was not
much room left on the lower deck for the
crew to move around in. The Dalles City
was also filled to her capacity with wheat
As the grain is accumulating at Lyle fast
er than the boats can move it. It Is prob
able that an extra steamer will have to
be chartered to assist In handling the
traffic. The passenger business is holding
up unusually well, many tourists making
the trip, notwithstanding the smoke that
hides much of the view.
Dynamite-Laden Steamer Sinks.
HIGHLAND LIGHT Mass.. Sept. 10.

ported that his vessel sprang a leak while
on Nantucket Shoals yesterday afternoon.
She was abandoned off Pamet River Sta

SCHLEY AS AH" AUTHOR.
Admiral Will Publish an Account of
His Service in the Navy.
NEW TORK, Sept 10. Announcement
that Rear-Admiral Schley will shortly
publish his autobiography, entitled
"Forty-five Tears Under the Flag," is
made. About one-third of the book will
be devoted to the Spanish War, concern
ing which the Admiral will say in his
preface:
"In the chapters which relate to the
operations against Cervera's lleet, the
purpose has been to record the events
from the writer's own viewpoint to
criticize In a spirit of fairness, but with
out malice, bearing In mind that wher
ever It has been necessary to refer to
apparent Inconsistencies In the statements
of others, the author has endeavored al
ways to avoid unnecessary personalities.
Through the courtesy of Secretary Moody
recourse has been had to official papers,
which were not available h(vfof hi no-
cession to office." A
The remainder of the large volume will
be given to the narrative of Admiral
Schley's service In many seas.
OBJECT TO NAME OF DUCHESS
German Papers Urge Cecelia Change
After Marriage to Crown Prince.
BERLIN, Sept 10. The Protestant pro
vincial newspapers suggest to the govern
ment that the bethrothed wife of Crown
Prince Frederick William, the Duchess
Cecelia of Mecklenburg-Schwerln, ought
not to be called Cecelia after her mar
riage. They regard this as an objection
able name for a Prussian Queen and a
German Empress, because It is associated
with a Catholic saint and many Catholic
Church societies named after her. The
papers affirm that such an association
might injure the Protestant religion In
Germany, as the uninformed might think
their future Empress a Catholic. The sub
ject is discussed earnestly, and It Is pro
posed the Duchess take another name,
Augusta, for example.
The Crown Prince, responding to con
gratulations, telegraphed to a friend at
Hamburg as follows:
"A thousand thanks. I am Immensely
glad to be able to call such a charming
and sensible little bride my own
"WILLIAM, CROWN PRINCE."
