18 THE MOEXiyG OREGONIAN, SATURDAY, MAY 8, 1909, SUIT FOR S40.Q0Q SALVAGE CLOSED Testimony Is Conflicting in Proceedings Against Own ers of Minnie E. Kelton. HISTORY OF THE WRECK Contention Is Made That Steamer Was Not Derelict at Time She AVas Picked Up by Washing ton Off Yaquina Head. The euit for $40,000 for salvage of the steam schooner Minnie E. Kelton, in the abandonment of which off Yaquina Mead May 3, 1908, 11 of the crew were lost, was finally closed in the United States Court yesterday after several days of trial. The libelants are the Washington Ma rine Company, owners of the steam schooner Washington, and the latter's master, H. C. Nason. The Washington towed the Kelton into Astoria harbor and grounded the vessel near Smith's Point. The history of the Kelton from the date of the storm in which she almost foundered has been one of disaster and financial trouble. After she grounded near Smith's Point it Is declared that attempts to save the vessel and cargo were de layed about ten days by libel suits. These were finally adjusted. The underwriters paid the insurance and took over the vessel, but by that time the ship was so imbedded in the sand that it was im possible for three steamers, acting to gether, to pull her off Into the channel. Attempts to lighter the schooner were then made, but the current undermined one side and while the work was in progress the Kelton turned turtle. It was necessary to right the vessel, and after this was accomplished the ship was lightered again and all was made ready to tow her into drydock. While waiting for a tug the Kelton broke away and drifted toward the sea, again ground ing. The underwriters then removed the machinery and sold the hulk to Daniel Kern for $110. after having expended $12,000 to $14,000 in attempting to save the vessel. Kern, it is said, sold the remaining cargo for C500 and at an expense of several thousand dollars is converting the Kelton Into a sea-going barge that will be worth $30,000. The$40.000 salvage claimed by the steamer Washington la for services rendered prior to the disastrous attempts to get the Kelton oft the beach at Smith's Point, and the claim Is made by the libelants that the vessel. If that work had been properly done, could have been saved for $1000. On the other hand, the owners of the Kelton attempted to show that the Kel ton was not a derelict when picked up by the Washington, and that the Wash ington forfeited any claims for salvage by gross negligence thereafter in attempt ing to tow a waterlogged ship, drawing 24 feet of water, over the bar at low tide and In grounding the Kelton at an exposed place In Astoria harbor. The Kelton's cargo was lumber, taken on at Aberdeen. The storm of May 3 completely disabled the vessel which was finally anchored near Yaquina Head, with the furnaces flooded and all but about 40 feet of the bow out of water. The two lifeboats were smashed in an at tempt to launch them and 11 men were drowned. Captain McKenna and the re mainder of the crew were taken ashore by the life-saving crew at Yaquina Sta tion. The evidence conflicts as to wheth er the Kelton was drifting or well an chored when the Washington took the disabled craft In tow. It is also a dis puted point whether Captain McKenna had determined fully to abandon the dis abled ship. It is the contention of the owners that he went ashore to telephone for assistance and that no watchman was left aboard because the ship had no lifeboats remaining for use in the event the watchman's life was imperiled.. In the effort to defeat the claim for salvage, an attempt was made to show that the Kelton pounded on the bar so hard in crossing that the hull was badly damaged, and the counter claim was made that the salvors were really re sponsible for the total value of the ship. Judge Wolverton heard the case, which was argued at length yesterday. FRENCH AESSEC IS CHARTERED David d'Angers Will I.onri Wheat at Portland. . Grain tonnage listed and en route for Portland now amounts to 62,318 tons, ex clusive of the British bark Colony, which has an option of Portland or Puget Sound loading. Kerr, Gifford & Co. yesterday added the French 6hip David d'Angers to the list. The vessel Is now outward bound from Portland for the United Kingdom with a cargo of grain loaded t Portland last December. She is fully due and will be placed on berth as soon as possible to load cement at London. The craft has been taken for the round voyage, and will load wheat at Port land. To date the majority of the fixtures have been for October and- November loading and the prospect for big business for the opening months of the new sea son are very bright. It is the opinion that a large number of the disengaged fleet will be taken for September load ing. While no fixtures have been an nounced for sometime for the spot ships, they "will probably be a considerable movement In that direction toward the latter part of the present month. Big crops are anticipated throughout the entire Northwest this year, and one of the heaviest seasons on record will no doubt result. ROANOKE REMAINS ON RUN North Pacific Steamship Will Not Go on Seattle Route. Harry Young. local agent of the North Pacitlc Steamship Company, has been ad vised by General Manager C. P. Doe that the steamship Roanoke would be placed on the Portland-San Pedro route May 28. The Roanoke Is now being repaired at the Risdon Iron Works in San Fran cisco. Rumors were circulated several days ago to the effect that the Roanoke would be placed on the San Pedro-Seattle run, in connection with the steamship Ad miral Sampson as soon as repairs were completed. In his letter Mr. Doe denies these reports. Two Ijaunchlngs Arranged for Today Two launchlngs have been arranged for this afternoon.

Seventh AVard X-eague Investigates Reported Action of Combine and Finds STo Cause for Alarm. That there) Is no combine to raise the price of sewer pipe, nor to increase the price of plumbing, to the property-owners of the Brooklyn sewer district was the decision of the Seventh Ward Improve ment League at its meeting Thursday night Chairman Ben Riesland at the opening of the meeting said that the proposed increase in prices of sewer pipe and plumbing in the Brooklyn district, if there was foundation for the report, -was an outrage and not to be tolerated, and that it was the duty of the league to adopt measures to defeat any such com bine. Statements were made by representa tives of the Potter Manufacturing Com pany that there had been no advance in the prices of sewer pipe in the past two years. The prices are: Four-inch. IS cents a foot; six-inch, 20 cents; eight inch, 30 cents. C. D. Rushlight also said that there was no combine among plumb ers to increase the price of plumbing in the Brooklyn eewer district. After hear ing these statements the league decided that there was no cause for further in vestigation at this time. The league voted to authorize the pres ident to appoint a committee to Investi gate the matter of bringing a large rein forcing water main into the district south of Division street, from the Mount Tabor reservoir. It was further decided not to take definite steps to secure this main until after the June election, at which several amendments to the present method of paying for laying water mains will be voted on. If laid at present the main would have to' be paid for by the property -owners. The new plan of naming East Side streets as suggested by President M. G. Munly, of the United East Side Push Clubs, by designating them as avenues and dropping the "East" was indorsed. If adopted streets would be called First avenue. Second avenue and so on. The league - Indorsed the movement to erect a building as a home for the Oregon Historical Society and auditorium for con ventions. BOCK, BOCK TODAY.

LOOKS LIKE BAD FAITH Present Situation in Street Improve ment Work Is Likely to Result in Establishment of Local Competitive Business. Refusal of the Denny Renton Coal & Clay Company, of Seattle, to furnish vitrified brick for use In Portland is the cause of .considerable embarrassment in street improvement work here, and it ap pears that,, in all probability, it will re sult In some other similar manufacturing concern receiving this business in future, or that such a plant will be located near this city. .These facts were disclosed yesterday afternoon at a meeting of the street committee, of the Council, when the matter of a pavement for Morrison street, from Front to First streets, was under consideration. It was finally de cided to recommend a Belgian block pavement, with asphalt gutters, instead of brick, the usual material for this por tion of the work. While the Denny Renton Company has caused to be published here a denial of the allegation that the officials of the company are wilfully refusing to sell their product here because of their fail ure to secure a large contract in the North Portland wholesale district re cently, it is generally believed in Port land that there is a strong element of resentment in the matter. Orders that were sent in from here have been can celled, it is said, and the vitrified brick made by the firm in question cannot be secured for use here. The Seattle company's officials state that it is because of the large Increase of orders for their product in and about Seattle that caused them to decline fur ther business from Portland, but locally this reason Is not very . generally ac cepted. Lawyer W. M. Davis, who rep resented the firm here when it was try ing to secure the large contract In North Portland, is at ' present engaged "as a private citizen and taxpayer." in an ef fort to block the awarding of the work to the Montague-O'Reilly Company, the successful bidders for Belgian block, and the direct competitors of the Denny Ren ton Company. Owing to the state of affairs mentioned. City Engineer Taylor recommends the use of asphalt for gutters, until some means can be arranged for securing vitri-i fled brck. Councilman Baker will intro duce a resolution before the Council next Wednesday, calling for stone block pave ment for Morrison, from Front to First streets, with asphalt gutters. An asphalt pavement will be laid from First to Third streets, to put Morrison in first-class con dition for the Rose Festival. It was at first thought best to lay sone blocks from Front to Second streets, but F. w. Mulkey stated that the blocks would be too noisy for tenants in his own and other buildings located there, and the asphalt was decided upon for the street, from First to Second streets. Property-owners living on East Sev enth street North, between Thompson and Klickitat, scored a victory when the street committee recommended that their petition for a macadam street be grant ed. A strong effort was being made to lay asphalt, but the people who remon strated against it declared they are un able to pay for so expensive an improve ment. They were represented yesterday by John Montag, and it was largely through his efforts from time to time that they finally won their point. MAY KNOCK OUT PETITION Erfort on Foot to Dereat Paving Trust Referendum Movement. An investigation possibly preliminary to an attempt to Invalidate the Kellaher anti-paving trust initiative petition is un der way, the paving interests affected having H. F. Latourette at work in the matter. Mr. Latourette, in going hastily over several hundred of the names on the petition registered from about 40 pre cincts, has become convinced that the petition contains forgeries. This opin ion is based presumably on dissimilarity between some of the signatures on the petition and the names of the purported signers as shown in the registration books. Three of the names signed to the pe tition are of men who were unable to sign the registration books and made their marks Instead. Two of these, however, E. Joyce, 43 Day street, and J. Hughes, 801 Montana street, were unable to sign their names to the registration book because of phys ical disabilities that may have come on after the petition was signed or may have existed before that and been re lieved by the time the petition was pre sented. One. L. Stonemann, 65 Skidmore street. It is asserted, is unable to sign his name. About a dozen other suspicious looking signatures' have been checked off and will be Investigated. The work so far done has been on petitions that were circu lated at the polls in the November elec tion. Mr. Latourette believes that if forgeries were attempted in any great number they will be found in those parts of the petition circulated after election. The Kellaher petition has about 800 registered names in excess of the re quired number, and unless the forgeries are found to be more numerous than now Indicated the petition cannot be de feated on that score.

METAL BUSINESS IS GOOD Only the Settlement of the Tariff Question Is Needed to Bring About Full Restoration of Normal Conditions. NEW YORK. Mav 7. R. G. Dun & Co.'s weekly review of trade tomorrow will say: With bank clearings outside New York 16.9 per cent, better than last year and 24.5 per cent better than in 1906, and in New York 24.1 per cent larger than in 1908 and 1.3 per cent larger than In 1906: with railroad earnings for the month of April showing a gain of 1S.9 per cent over 1908 and only 10.3 per cent decrease as compared with the banner year of 1907; with immigration 212,000 larger than last year; with imports much great er than in 1908 and equal td 1907; with a distinct gain in the iron and steel trade in both orders and prices; with a harden ing tendency In copper; with works of new construction going rapidly forward, the trade situation seems to afford ample grounds for the prevailing belief that as soon as the tariff revision is out of the way, the last obstacle to a full restora tion of normal industrial and mercantile activity will be reached. Notable, indeed, is the better feeling in iron and steel. Favorable developments in nearly all divisions are reported.

Then he was seized with fine frenzy, for Reed is running for Council man in the Ninth, and the primary elec tion is right at hand. "You can close my office if you must, but isn't there some way I can get those cards? Surely they have no value for attachment purposes," was his lament to Constable Wagner, over the telephone. "How about that?" inquired the Con stable, turning to his chief deputy, Will iam Kiernan, who had charge of this particular case. "Sure, let him have them," said Kier nan. "He's right that they have no value either to him or anyone else." So Reed got his cards and set out, an officeless wanderer, in search of votes. NEW "TRAIN DE LUXE" On Exhibition Today.
