ARGUE IN ADMIRALTY CASE
LAWYERS REVIEW STEAMER
AND DREDGE COLIilSIOX.
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.
