TIIE MORXIXG OREGOXIAX, FRIDAY. OCTOBER 3. 1913. 6LEHESSUN HAY TURN TURTLE SOON Ship, Run on Rocks at Ne- carney, Has Large Holes in Her Bottom. SAILORS GET KEEPSAKES British Vice-Consul Cherry Is 01 "Way to Scene of Wreck Weather Declared to Hare Been Clear Despite Statement or Captain. NECARNEY. Or., Oct 2 (Special.) The three-masted sailing- ship Glen esslln. which ran upon the rocks at the foot of Necarney mountain yester day at 2:30 P. M. is still holding: to gether with the waves washing over her at times. All sails are set and she appears to be listing: toward sea, and will no doubt turn over soon. There appears to be no chance of sav ing: her 'as several large holes have been stove in the bottom. Large crowds of sigrht-seers are crowding- the beach to look at her and the Neah-Kah-Nle Tavern is doing: a rushing: business. At hlgrh tide it Is necessary to go on foot, climbing' over rocks along- the base of Necarney mountain for two miles to get near the wreck. Sailors Recover Keepsakes. All morning the sailors have been boarding the ship with aid of ropes and carrying their clothes and keep sakes away. Captain Farley of the Life Saving Station. Bar View, prob ably saved all valuable goods which could be moved when early this morn ing he stopped a band of men who had boarded her during the night and were starting to remove all portable stuff of any value. British Vice Consul Cherry is on his way from Astoria and until he ar rives it is not known what is to be done with the crew. It is probable though that they will be taken to Portland and paid off. Captain Williams' story of the wreck was that at noon yesterday he was about SO miles off Tillamook Head, and went to his cabin to take a sleep, leaving instructions with the second officer, who was on watch to call him at 2 P. M. and he Would change her course. When called at 2 P. M. he came on deck and gave orders to tack around at once, but was in too close and was upon the rocks before he could change her course. Weather la Clear. Eye-witnesses state the weather was clear and the ship was watched for several miles out by parties on shore. The second mate, when Interviewed, said it was a regular motion picture wreck with the exception of tattered clothing, there being but little trou ble in getting ashore. The crew was unruly for a short time, but when a lifeboat they were lowering was smashed to splinters, they quieted down. Senator Lane's amendment to the tariff bill every American farmer, if so dls posed, can enter on the manufacture of denatured alcohol after securing a per mit from the Commissioner of Internal Revenue in the Treasury Department. There will be no restraint on farmers who care In this way to utilize the waste products of their farms, for the Lane amendment repeals those provls ions of the original denatured alcohol law which made it impossible for farm ers to make their own alcohol; and not only that, the Lane amendment is so drawn that farmers may manufacture their fuel without danger of being Interfered with by Treasury Depart ment regulations. While the original law was passed on the theory that it would permit the farmer to manufacture alcohol from his waste crops, such as windfall apples, defective fruit of all kinds, scrub po tatoes, etc, the regulations adopted by the Treasury Department were so stringent that no farmer could afford to make it. The National Grange is at work on plans for inducing farmers In the vari ous states to establish central distil leries. LUMBER RATE FIGHT ON REDWOOD IS ARRAYED AGAIXST CEDAR, PIXE AXD Flit. Redaction Demanded of Southern Pacific Would Mean Much to Columbia River Interests. SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 2. (Special.) A state-wide lumber war in which the redwood Interests of the Coast counties are arrayed against the pine, cedar and fir mills of the mountain districts to the north and east has broken out, with this city as the cen ter of hostilities. The opening battle was fought be fore the State Railroad Commission to. day, when the San Francisco Chamber of Commerce initiated proceedings In an attempt to compel the Southern Pacific to make a reduction of ap proximately 60 per cent In Its rates for hauling lumber out of this city to all the market centers of California. The local lumber jobbers, with the backing of the Chamber, are allied in fight to force the railroad to carry the lumber which Is shipped here by water to Interior points at rates which will enable them to compete with the output of the mountain mills. The lumbermen of Northern Cali fornia have combined to make a stub born resistance. They demand that If the rates out of San Francisco are cut proportionate reduction be made In the transportation charges they now pay. The war affects the lumber ani building industries In every section of the state. Most of the redwood tim ber now used In California is brought here on vessels from the Coast ports The San Francisco dealers contend that the rail shipping rates now in effect make it impossible for them to sell lumber In Interior cities and towns as cheaply as the mountain lumber mills of Northern California and the counties in the foothills of the San Joaquin Valley can supply it. The Interior lumbermen are fighting to prevent the nvasion of their rivals Into their ter ritory and practically all of the Sierra umber interests have intervened: in the proceedings before the Commission. If the local Chamber or commerce is successful it means much to Port land and Columbia River lumbermen. GIEXESSLLX HEARIXQ HERE t British Consul Erskine May Send Captain Williams On to England. . On the arrival of British Vice Consul of Astoria, at the wreck of the British ship Glenesslln today he will arrange for the transportation of Captain Wil liams and the crew to Portland, where an Inquiry Into the loss of the ship will be conducted by Thomas Erskine, British Consul. Alfred Tucker, of Meyer. Wilson & Co., agents for the owners, who promptly cabled them Wednesday even ing of the fact the ship had gone ashore, was instructed yesterday to look after their Interests in every way That means the men will be paid off at the conclusion of the inquiry, their lodging at the scene of the wreck will be shouldered and their transportation paid here. Captain - Williams Is ex pected to proceed, s soon as all affairs are settled, to England and report to the owners. Because of statements that Captain Williams was Intoxicated at the time the Glenesslln went on the beach, it is fully expected he will attend the in quiry In company with an attorney, ' so that any charges on the part of the sailors can be met. Should it be de termined in England that he was not sober, it is said his certificate as a master probably will be revoked. The crew will reach this city to morrow, unless it is deemed best for them to remain near the wreck for a day or two longer. . The inquiry may be held Monday In the event there is no delay In the arrival of the men. Mariners here are at a loss to ac count for the Glenesslln being held on her course when It appeared Inevitable that she would strike, and they think the result could only be excused under stress of weather, which does not ap pear to have been the case. The Portland Flouring Mills Com pany, which had the Glenesslln under engagement to load wheat for the United Kingdom, It not concerned from a financial standpoint, as the rate at which she was taken was 41s 6d, while at present steamers are available at about 37 shillings and sailing vessels considerably less, so they can recharter at a saving for the cargo Intended for the Glenesslin. Harry Campion, superintendent of the Port of Portland pilotage and towage service, who sent the tug Wal lula to the scene at once on learning of the wreck, received a report from the master yeterday that he had been unable to render assistance and while he patrolled In the vicinity for a time. no wreckage was sighted nor were signals seen indicating help was required. LLOYD SURVEYOR AT SCEXE Captain Veysey to View Glenesslln, Which Cannot Be Floated. ASTORIA, Or, Oct. 2. (Speclal. Captain Veysey, Lloyd's surveyor, left Portland for the Glenesslln wreck to night. This afternoon British Vice-Consul Cherry received a telegram from Neha lem stating that the stranded ship is in a cove and sheltered from the north west winds, but is at an angle of about 45 degrees wii.h the beach and headed southeast. All her foresails are set and the provisions and rigging can be saved. The ship can be reached at low water, but her bottom has been stove full of holes, so there is little chance of floating her. .

Are DENTER. Oct 2. The fate of the Government regulations for the con trol of water power sites was sub mitted to the United States Circuit Court of Appeals today, when argu ments , were concluded In the case of the United States against the Utah Power & Light Company. Following the opening statement for the Government by R. F. Feagans, Dwight W. Morrow, for the defendant corporation, explained to the court why the power company holds that the Federal act of 1866 is still in force. He declared that the act of 1896 did not by implication, repeal the older statute, but fhat the latter still gov erns the holding and use of the pub lic domain. State Supremacy Proclaimed. The supremacy of state laws and state court decisions, as recognized by the act of 1S66, was proclaimed by E. M. Allison, Jr., who followed Mr. Mor row. He emphasized the contention of the defendant, that the act of 1866 is not a Government grant, but a law confirming local statutes, customs and court opinions. William V. Hodges, who had inea a brief as amicus curiae, continued the argument of state rights over the pub llo domain. He declared that the right of eminent domain, held by the state, was superior to the right of proprie torship vested In ihe Government. "If this case succeeds," he added, "there Is no limit to the extent to which the Government may go In upsetting the right of appropriation." Personal View in Conflict. Hiram E. Booth, United States Dis trict Attorney for Utah, presented the closing argument for the Government. He pointed out that hydroelectric power plants were unknown when the act of 1866 was passed. Presiding Judge Hook interrupted to remark: "I think the strength of your case depends upon the argument that the act of 18E6 supersedes the act of 1866 rather than that the manufacture of electricity was unknown when the act of 1866 was passed." "I quite agree with your honor" re joined the District Attorney. "Can didly that is my personal view, but it is not the view of the Department of the Interior, and the Department asked me to present its view to the court." SMALL BANKS ARE HEARD Objection Made to Abolishing Charge for Check Collections. WASHINGTON. Oct. 2. Representa tives of small banks in the Middle West and South appeared , before the Senate banking and currency commit- tee today to criticise the Admlnlstra tion currency bill. Generally the small bankers indorsed the purposes of the bill as framed, but in several cases amendments of Importance proposing changes that would offer advantages to smaller banks were suggested. The principal objection voiced wen to the provision of the bill which would deprive the bankers of the charges now made for the collection of out-of-town checks. These collec tlons, the bankers said, represented considerable profit and should not be taken from the banks. Another gen eral objection was entered to the scheme proposing 13 regional reserve banks. The bankers recommended smaller number, or even a single bank, to concentrate the reserves of the country. MYSTERY IS DEEPER Millionaire Student Is Held for Alleged Stabbing.

NEW YORK, Oct. 2. Mystery per plexed Investigators tonight In the case of Herman Oelrichs. millionaire law student at Columbia University, and Miss Lucille Singleton, daughter of a Texas mine owner. Although Oelrichs was held In a magistrate's court today for a hearing next Tuesday on the charge that he stabbed the girl in the breast while they were In his automo bile a few nights ago, the question ex ists whether she received her Injuries in this manner or from the Jagged points of the broken windshield through which she was thrown when young Oelrich's car crashed Into a tree. The case further was complicated to day by a statement by Oelrich's lawyer to the effect that a third person, said to be a Columbia University student, was in the machine with Oelrichs and Miss Singleton. The Identity of this person was not disclosed by Oelrichs lawyer, who characterized as aoso lutely ridiculous" the charge that his client stabbed Miss Singleton. Young Woman Xot In Court. Miss Singleton did not appear In court- today to press the complaint and was said tonight to still be in bed. The physician who attended her at a hospital after the automobile accident said it was not possible to say how the cuts In her chest were Inflicted.

Miss Singleton Is said to have once lived in Los Angeles. Pean Stone, of Columbia, said he would have Oelrichs brought before him and the faculty in the course of an In vestigation.

One of Miss Singleton s former teach ers at Darlington Seminary, at West chester, Fa., said of the young woman today: 'Miss Singleton was well thought of In the seminary.
