Prevent Sailing of Vessels
-Insufficiently Manned.
The navigation act recently passed by
Conjrress amending section 4463 of the
Revised Statues, relating to the comple
ment and crew of vessels, will go -into
effect on July 1. Captain E. S. Edwards
and George Fuller, local inspectors of
hulls and boilers, are in receipt of a
copy of the law, which is as follows:
Be it enacted by the Senate and House
of Representatives of the United States of
America, in Congress assembled, that sec
tion 44(V$ of the revised statutes of the
United States be amended so as '.o read:
Sec. 44HX Any' vessel of the United States
subject to the provisions of this title or to
the inspection laws of the United States
shall not be navigated unless she shall
have in her service and on board such com
plement of licensed officers and crew as
may. In the judgment of the local inspectors
who inspect the vessel, be necessary for her
sufe navigation. The local Inspectors shall
make in the certificate of Inspection of the
vessel an entry of such complement of offi
cers and crew, which may be changed from
lime to time by indorsement on such cer
tificate by local ' inspectors by reason of
cliana-e of conditions or employment. Such
entry or Indorsement shall be subject to
a right of .appeal, under regulations to be
made by the Secretary of Commerce and
Labor, to the supervising Inspector and
from him to the supervising inspector-general,
who shall have tho power to revise,

reed on her voyage. If. in the judgment of
the master, she is sufficiently manned for
Buch voyage.
If the master shall fall to explain In writ
ing such deficiency in the crew to the local
Inspectors within 12 hours of the time of
the arrival of the vessel at her destination,
he shall be liable to a penalty of S.V. If

penalty of 100. or in case of an insufficient
number of licensed officers to a penalty of
Mm-
Section 2. That this act shall take effect
on July 1. tltos.
Approved April 2, 190S.
The act embodies part of the Govern
ment's plans- to render navigation laws
stronger where human life might be en
dangered by a vessel . insufficiently
manned leaving for a cruise. , An in
stance of the lack of hands aboard a ship
Is on record in the case of the collision
between the Steamship Jeanle and tho
ill-fated steamer Dix on Puget Sound
several years ago. 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."
FLOOD TO RECEDE TOMORROW
AVaters Now at Crest and Fail Is
( Anticipated.
The crest of the prevailing flood in
the Willamette and Columbia Rivers
Is believed to have been reached, and
tomorrow the inundating waters can
be expected to recede.
At Portland the flood registered 21.1
feet yesterday, and the water now i
at a stationary stage. 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

land yesterday. Commander Pond will
spend the time between his arrival

charge of the district, in getting ac
quainted with the force of assistants

make a flying trip to Seattle and Puget
Sound points previous to assuming

I0U5 OF EXPAN
BABY HOME Jt'IXDS PRESENT
QUARTERS TOO NARROW.
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. Labbe. A. L. Keenan,
Dr. A. W. Moore, H. H. Northup and
F. S. Akin. In the absence of the
president, Mrs. L. W. Sitton, the vice
president, Mrs. O. M. Scott, presided.
REPORT ON CHURCH WORK
Lutheran Synod Discusses Condi
tions In Northwest Field.
Interest in yesterday's session of the
Washington-Oregon synod of the Luth
eran Church, meeting in the Peninsula
Church, centered in the report of the
mission committee, detailing the status
of church conditions in the missions of
Oregon, Idaho and Washington. The con
sideration of this topic will be prolonged
until this afternoon, when it is expected
that a report will be adopted by the con
vention. At the session of the Board of Control,
of the Pacific Seminary, Olympia. Wash.,
Thursday night, it yas shown that the
debt resting on the institution had been
reduced to a minimum, and that the
prospects for the forthcoming year are
very bright. Dr. Carl Ackermann, pres
ident of the school, presented his annual
report, calling attention to the work out
lined. Relative to a proposed change in the
supervision of mission work, the conven
tion decided to abide by the present sys
tem of having a central body at synodlcal
headquarters in Columbus, Ohio, and a
committee at eachl annual convention.
It was recommended that this committee
be a standing body, with executive power,
appointed by the district synod. This de
cision was arrived at after a long debate,
in which the merits and weaknesses of
the present system were thoroughly dis
cussed. The synod voted down the ap
pointment of a mission superintendent
by a decided majority.
Rev. J. Crack's paper on "Liturgical
Services" was generally discussed. Sun
day morning Rev. G. Koehler. of Daven
port, Wash., will preach. Rev. Berthold, of
Walla Walla, Wash., delivering the con
fessional sermon. In the evening Dr. Carl
Ackermann, president of the Pacific Sem
inary, will give an address on educa
tional matters. Rev. H. Whittrock, of

The Oaks Offering Attractions That
Ought to Attract Crowds.
Unseasonable weather apparently Is dis

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. This company includes a chorus
of ten young women, besides the prima
donna, three splendid male singers and
two comedians. We have erected an in
closure in which these performances are
given and where visitors to the resort
are just as comfortable as they could
wish to be.
"In addition to these attractions, there
are innumerable other means of enter
tainment on the grounds where a most
delightful evening can be passed."

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

spector Dobson. 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.

rules and regulations for "nickelodions"

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

that it is the best Hair Tonic I have
ever used. It will be one of our

I ask you to call at my office and talk with

will tell you about are unlike those employed
by any other doctor. They are, in their
chief essentials, methods of my own devis

of the truth in regard to the diseases of
men. That's why they cure and why they
are, the only methods that can soundly and
thoroughly cure.
