CREDIT FOR FIGHTING FLAMES Supervising Inspector Bermingham Completes His Decision on the Disaster t the Coastwise Steamer. SAN FRANCISCO. March 29. Super vising Inspector John Bermingham to day completed his decision in the case of the steamship Oregon, which caught lire off Crescent City, CaL,. February 27. 1905. In this decision he exonerates the crew of the vessel from any blame In connection with the origin of the fire and says: The efforts of Captain Warner, his of ficers and crew are deserving of great credit in battling with the fire, as they did constantly for about 48 hours be fore It was finally vanquished. The estimated damage to the steam ship Is $35,000 and to the cargo $60,000. TACOMA CREW'8 ADVENTURES Expected Steamer to Be Crushed by the Ice Pack. YOKOHAMA, March 29. The crew of the steamer Tacoma, owned by the Northwest Commercial Steamship Com pany, of Seattle, which was captured by the Japanese, March 14, north of the Island of Hokkaido, arrived here today and were released. The crew tell a graphic story of their adventures in the Ice floes from February 4' to March 14. The Tacoma left Seattle at midnight, January 5, and on January 14 reached Dutch Harbor, where she coaled. On Feb ruary 4 the vessel became helplessly ice 3ound north of Hokkaido Island, and was seriously threatened by the heavy ice pack, which crashed and pounded against her sides with a report that could be heard for miles. The decks and rigging were covered with hundreds of tons of ice. The crew expected that tho vessel would be crushed, and made sleds so as to be prepared to seek land. The supply of coal ran short and the fires were put out, which resulted In many of the crew nearly freezing to death. Pro visions also ran short, and the cargo of beef had to be broached. On March 11, the Tacoma drifted in the midst of an Ice floe only half a mile from the dangerous rock near which the Brit ish steamer Mars stranded a few days later. On March 14 the Tacoma encountered a Japanese warship, by which she was seized. The courtesy of the Japanese is praised by the officers and crew of the Tacoma, who say they expect to return to the United States on the steamer Minnesota.

In regard to the steering and other qual ities of the new Alblna ferry, Lionel A. "Webster, about which a controversy has been raised, Fred A. Ballln, who designed the boat, has received a strong letter from President Fuller, of the Portland Consolidated Railway, who praises the boat in every respect. The railway com pany leased tho ferry and operated her for elx weeks at Vancouver, beginning November 13. She ran every day from 6 A. M. to 1 A. M., and proved entirely satisfactory. After the captain became used to her Bhe steered easier than the oid ferry Vancouver, and no trouble was experienced In making landings. Some of the worst storms of the "Winter oc curred while she was in use on the Co lumbia, and though no cable was used, the boat handled perfectly. President Fuller stated that although the" Webster is larger than the Vancouver, she proved to "be the more economical of the two and gave the better service. This Indorsement of the new boat by a man who has put her to practical use has convinced Mr. Ballln that the trouble ex perienced on the recent trial was not due to the boat itself. Japanese Sealing In Behrlng Sea. VICTORIA, B. a. March 28. The steamer Empress of Japan, which has ar rived here, spoke the Japanese sealing schooner Xinsl Maru. at Nootka, where tije Japanese vessel called for water. The lUnsl Maru was sent across to the Cali fornia coast to hunt until the commence ment of the season In Behrlng Sea, when she will proceed there, using firearms, which the vessels of nations party to the modus Vivendi may not do.

KULTN0MAH MEN DECIDE If tJorth Pacific Association Gov erned Athletic Meets, Athletes Would Be Disbarred From . Participation In Events. Rather than have a clash with the Amateur Athletic Union, the parent body of all athletics, the Multnomah Amateur Athletic Club has decided that it will bo better to bold the Exposi tion sports under the rules of the union instead of the North Pacific Amateur Athletic Association as .proposed. When the direction and control of all sports to b'e held at the Lewis and Clark Fair was given to the Multnomah. Club it was decided they should be governed "by the rules of the North Pacific Association. This announcement has brought out a letter from Herbert Hauser, of San Francisco, secretary of the Paclflc Athletic Association of the union, to George McMillan, Oregon com missioner of the union. This letter, which threatens disqualification to all taking part In tho Exposition sports If held under rules other than those of the union, reads as follows: Dear Bin Mr. Douthltt, our "Washington commissioner. Informs me that the Seattle Athletic Club Is taking in athletes indiscrimi nately, with the intention of talcing them to Portland to compete at tho Exposition this Summer. Unfortunately, I have not heard ffrom. you for tome time regarding the pros pects for athletics at the Fair, so. in order that I may be better Informed. I would like to hear from you as soon as possible, as to the prospects. Of course, if the Exposition gives anything In the athletic line it will haTe to be under A A. U. control, or else it will professionalize all those concerned. The as sociation Is contemplating on sending a team up. If matters are put under our control. At a meeting of the board of direc tors and the various committees of the. Multnomah Club .this matter was brought up for consideration. Will Concede to A. A. U. H. W. Kerriiran. chairman of fh athletic committee and of the commit tee which will handle the Exposition sports, is also secretary -and treasurer of the North Pacific Amateur Athletic Association. He introduced the subject by stating what had been done in re gard to the Fair sports, and spoke of the letter Just received by Mr. McMil lan. He followed with the explanation of why the association had been formed, stating that while in the Pa cific Northwest records had been made from time to time. It had been abso lutely Impossible to obtain even the slightest recognition from the Amateur Athletic Union, even though members of that body. For this reason the asso ciation ha.d been formed to embrace Oregon. Washington,' British Columbia, Idaho and Montana, and that for the past few years the athletic meets of this territory had been held under the new association. "I do not believe, however." Mr. Kerri gan a!d, "that It Is advisable to take the chance of a possible clash with the Amateur AthleUc Union. It Is not the threat of Mr. Hauser that gives me this opinion, but the fact that the Union could give us a great deal of trouble and .seriously hurt the success of the Exposition sports. It simply amounts to this, that If the Amateur Athletic Union should disqualify any of those entering our Exposition sports, such athletes would never be able to compete in any other part of the United States again, and this would deter many from com peting in our events. This would neces sarily work to our disadvantage, and I am sure what we want above all things Is to make our management of the Expo sition sports successful. For that rea son, while unwlillng. yet I think we ought to give up the Idea of holding them under the Association and procure the sanction of the Union. In that way every man will be safe in entering." H. H. Hcrdman, president of the As sociation, followed and expressed himself as being in thorough sympathy with the views of Mr. Kerrigan. The matter will now be taken up with INTERIOR OF SMOKING COMPARTMENT OF THE The picture herewith reproduced shows the Interior of the smoldnc compartment of the new 60-ton observation car which was sent out over the Portland San Francisco run of the Southern Paciflo last alcht. The car la the largest and heaviest of any ever brought Into the terminal yards and Is the most mod ern In construction and equipment. The smoking compartment Is built along- one side of the car, leaving a wide passage way on the other side, while the win dows are so arranged that the view is unobstructed from either side. It will accommodate about 11 people. To the rear of this Is the library and back of that Is the general drawing-room for the accommodation of both ladies and gentlemen. The car Is finished In oak. beautifully grained and polished. The drawing-room Is .upholstered In plush, while the smoking compartment. Is provided wlfhr chalrs- done in rawhide. .Throughout the car Is the best arranged and not convenient of any in the Vest. There will be nve of the 'same type used between Roseburg and Oakland. CaL, on trains Ti and IS.- . the other members oft the North Pacific Association to procure their assent. Some difficulty Is anticipated with Seattle, elnce the club there is thoroughly opposed to the Amateur Athietlc Union. The meeting held last night was one of the new features introduced recently for the betterment of the club. The directors and members of all committees and sub committees met for dinner at the Com mercial Club. After the dinner an In formal discussion was held concerning the present condition ..of the dub, and what might be done to advance It. The chair man of each committee spoke of what was being done In his department, and those who had ideas for improvement suggested them. By such meetings It Is expected that the condition of the club will be vastly improved, as all committees work In harmony, and with the knowl edgs of what each one is doing. SCHOOLBOYS TO PLAY BALL Schedule for League Between Three Schools of City Is Made Up.

Unless some interruption la the plans of Dan Murphy should occur the candidates for positions In the Portland Rowing Club's shells will make their first appear ance on the water this year on either Saturday or Sunday. Under the direction of Murphy the shells are being rapidly got into shape, and the work on the coaching boats Is nearly completed. The principal change being made is in the out riggers. Portlanders in past years have rowed with a 45-inch spread to the rigger, but this, to Murphy's idea, is too much and causes unsteadiness in the stroke. Mur phy pins his faith to a closer spread and the riggers are now being cut down to 39 Inches. This will give more steadiness and consequently Improve the stroke. A slightly shorter oar will also be used this year. ANOTHER NINE IN LEAGUE "Dark Horses" Are Latest Addition on Multnomah Club's List. A fifth team has been added to the' Mult nomah Amateur Athletic Club's baseball league, and the schedule Is being re arranged so as to Include this latest ad dition.

Camp bell, center field; Allen, right field. New Reclamation Engineer. OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU. Wash ington. March 2?. George H.
