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. At the Supple yards the
steamship Hyak. built for the Kitsap
Transportation Company, of Seattle, will

PRICE ADVANCE DENIED
SEWER PIPES TO REMAIN AT
OLD FIGURE.
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.

FIRM BACKS DOWN
Seattle Concern Refuses to
Furnish Vitrified Brick.
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.

and Industry.
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.
In woolen goods the volume of dupli
cate business from buyers of men's wear
lines Increases gradually.

CANDIDATE GETS HIS CARDS
F. E. Reed, Patriot, Baffles Unfeel
ing Printer at Last Moment.
When Ferdinand Reed's office was at
tached by Deputy Constable McCulley
yesterday morning, in satisfaction of a
printer's bill of J57, the distinguished
politician submitted calmly until he re
called that all his election cards were
inside. 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.

i? ""irked general improvement that follows a thorough cure of the
cniet disorder. My success in curing difficult cases of long standing
has made me the foremost specialist treating men's diseases. This suc
cess is due to several things. It is due to the studv I have given my
specialty; to my having ascertained the exact nature of men's ail
ments and to the original, distinctive and thoroughly scientific methods
of treatment I employ.
To those in doubt as to their true condition, who wish to avoid the
serious results that may follow neglect. I offer free consultation and
aavice. either at my office or through correspondence. If your case is
one of the few that have reached an incurable stage, I will not accept
11 tor treatment, nor will I urge my services upon any one. I treat
curable cases only, and cure all cases I treat.

can make it. Others may offer in

foremost claim is Tor thorough

EVERY CASE means the cheap

CONTRACTED DISORDERS
Tou can depend upon a quick
and thorough cure by my treat
ment. A quick cure is desirable,
because a slow cure is apt to be
no cure at all, and a chronic de
velopment will come later. I cure
you beyond the possibility of a
relapse, and In half the usual time
required.
REFLEX AILMENTS
Often the condition appearing to
be the chief disorder is only a re
flex ailment resulting from some
other disease.
Skin and bone diseases result from
blood poison taint, and physical and
mental decline follow long-standing
functional disorder. My long experi
ence in treating men enables me to
determine the exact conditions that
exist and to treat accordingly, thus
removing every damaging cause and
its effects.
