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.
TWO MORE CARGOES AFLOAT

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.

DECISION
S
SALOON INTERESTS
Frrnrs Invalidate All I nnal 0n-
. w ....j -r-
tion Petitions Filed by the '
Prohibitionists.
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:

IMPROVE EAST MORRISON
Temporary Repairs "Will Be Fol
lowed by Permanent Pavement.
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.

unless I am positive of my ability to cure you.
I accept no incurable cases at all, and if I treat you, you can feel
