Each Side Contends In Federal Court That Other's Client Was to Blame for Accident. Arguments in the douhle-hoaded suit which has been brought In the Admiralty Court for the recovery of damages caueed by the collision of the Bailey Gatzert with the Port of Portland in a dense fog on the Wjllame.tte River, November 6, 1907, causing the sinking of the latter vessel, were brought to a close yesterday after noon by the attorneys engaged to fight the case. Taking of testimony was con cluded yesterday morning and the attor neys at once plunged Into the arguments, which tut times became spirited. The Port of Portland is seeking to re cover $18,000 for damages sustained to the barge, and figures were presented show ing the loss and the . cost of raising the vessel and the subsequent repairs. It Is the contention of the attorneys that the steamer was going at a very rapid rate of epeed and that owing to this circum stance It was unable to stop in time to prevent the ramming of the dredge, that they had a proper lookout on the bow of the dredge, althotigh the steamer did not, and that the bell had been rung ac cording to tho regulations. The owners of the steamer maintain that they were going at a moderate rate of speed and that the ramming was due to the carelessness of the men. on board the Portland who failed to keep the bell ringing during the foggy weather and that they did not have a proper lookout. The captain testified that when within 200 feet of the dredge he heard the ring ing of the bell but too late to stop the boat. It was claimed by the attorneys tor the Bailey Gatzert that the dredge should have had a larger bell on the boat. They in turn are suing for J250O damages. The case was submitted to Judge Wol verton. yesterday afternoon at 3:30 o'clock. He has taken the case under advisement. MANIA FOR KILLING DOGS Aged .PoLsorer Placed on Trial for Many Offenses of This Kind. Fritz C. Kettler, the 77-year-old pioneer who has become possessed of a mania for poisoning dogs, was tried in the Mu nicipal Court yesterday afternoon. Deci sion was withheld by Judge Van Zante, pending disposition of the case by the grand jury. Joseph Waller and G. Adams, who live near Kettler's home at 150 Han cock street, testified that Kettler told them he had killed Waller's dog with strychnine and added, "Be careful or I'll get your's, too." Mrs. A. Babcocic who lives in the neighborhood,, told of an Illness which overtook her pet dog some time ago. She called a dog doctor, who diagnosed the pup's illness as strychnine poisoning. John Anderson, also of the neighborhood, said his dog has disappeared. It was shown that Kettler bought strychnine at the Jacobs Drugstore, Third and Burn side streets, saying ha wanted It to poison dogs. Kettler made a flat denial of all the testimony presented against him. ARRANGE BANQUET PLANS Commercial Club Committees Prom ise Enthusiastic Meeting.
