Sailors Shipping to Denmark Arc
Warned Against Signing Articles
I'nlcss Return Voyage Is
Agreed Upon.
Collector of Customs Burke is in re
ceipt of a communication from Com
missioner Chamberlain, of the Depart
ment of Commerce, asking him to desig
nate an officer of the marine depart
ment of his force to confer with United
States Steamboat Inspectors Edwards
and fuller, British Consul Erskine, Cap
tain L. Veysey, Lloyd's surveyor, and
vessel owners and shippine" interests
regarding the load line being marked
on American vessels that may load here
for the United Kingdom, so as to com
ply with British regulations. Commis
sioner' Chamberlain directs that a re
port of such conference be forwarded
to him without delay.
In the communication the head of the
Department of Commerce referred to
a recent case in which an American
vessel .was seized on the other side for
non-compliance with other regulations,
but the American trovemment obtained
her release without penalty. He says
that the load-line regulations are some
what intricate and for that reason he
is anxious that a method be devised
that will be satisfactory to the British
authorities.
Another law in force in the United
Kingdom compels cargo vessels to car
ry lifeboats on each side sufficient to
accommodate those aboard, but Com
missioner Chamberlain says "owners of
American vessels visiting United King
dom ports should have no difficulty
complying with that rule."
A second communication reached
Collector Burke yesterday from the
same department, transmitting the text
of a cablegram received from the
American Consul-General at Copen
hagen, dated January -8. in which
American seamen shipping on foreign
vessels for Denmark are warned to
siirn the articles only on condition of
a return passage being guaranteed. It
is assumed at the Custom-House that
American sailors have been stranded
at Danish ports because ships were
either ordered out of commission on
arrival there or other crews were
signed. The Danish bark Danmark was
loaded here last week lor tne united
Kingdom and a number of Norwegian
ships have been cleared for British
territory with grain and there are
probabilities that some of them may
find their way to Scandinavian ports
to load outward cargoes.
Notice has been given of changes in
an order applying to vessels using the
Panama Canal regarding the filing- of
manifests when discharging or loading
cargo within that zone.
POUT .STANLEY IS IX KIVEK
Vessel With Profitable Charter May
Be Hc-engagcd Here.
Kniovintr the distinction of receiving
the highest charter rate paid a sailing
vessel fur grain in a number of years.
55 shillings, the Itussian bark Port
Stanley made the river yesterday from
Guayaquil, where she arrived November
2 from Newcastle, N S. W., after a
voyage that began September 4. The
ship is under engagement to Hind,
RolDh & Co.. and may be rechartered.
as efforts have been made to dispose of
her at an advanced rate.
It was reported from North Head
that another bark was outside, but the
vessel in question was the Eidsvold,
which got to sea with a grain cargo
for the United Kingdom. Last of the
ballast aboard the Clan Galbraith has
been discharged, also that brought by
the Morna. The latter is to have most
of her deck renewed before starting to
load. The Gezina was shitted to tne
Port of Portland drydock yesterday,
where she will be lifted on four pon
toons for cleaning and painting. The
Itivercauld moved from Albina dock to
Montgomery dock yesterday to begin
loading.
MARINE BODIES MEET TODAY
Dock Board and Port ot Portland to
Have Busy Sessions.
One of the busiest meetings of the
year is in prospect today for the
Commission of Public Docks, which is
to be In session this morning for the
consideration of a mass of routine mat
ters. The early completion of the
liast Side dock and the slip and pier
at Dock No. 1, on the West Side, neces
sitates considerable detail labor in ar
ranging for trucks and other equip
ment. Later a wharfinger will be se
lected for the East Side dock, and it
will be made available for freight aa
soon as possible after acceptance from
the contractors.
The Port of Portland Commission
meets in regular session this after
noon to take up the usual monthly re
ports, probably act on bids received
Tuesday for machinery and other gear
for the new dredge Columbia, and hear
a complete report on the condition of
the public drydock, where one pontoon
sank Tuesday morning.
JETTY DAMAGE XOT SERIOUS
Captain Macgenn Finds Enrockment
Visible in Places at Higli Water.
Captain T. J. Macgenn, master of the
Portland and Coos Bay liner Break
water, which sailed from the river at
noon yesterday, sent the following
wireless message of damage apparent
to the south jetty as a result of the
storm of Sunday and Monday;
"Favored by fine weather and a
smooth sea, I made a careful examina
tion of the south Jetty and not more
than 1500 feet of the piling is gone.
The rock foundation of the jetty is
not materially damaged, and in most
places is still visible above high water."
No official advices arrived yesterday
at the office of the United States en
gineers as to the damage. Masters of
vessels arriving Monday and early
Tuesdav say that the sea in the vtcln
itv of the Jetty was strewn with piling,
which was being carried north by the
current.

EDITOR, THE OREGONIAN, Portland, Oregon.
Dear Sir I have been very greatly interested in examining Larned's
"History of the World," which seems to me to give in the most concise
and interesting form the history of the life of mankind. Grouped, as
it is, into different epochs, it is certainly one of the best aids to learning
contemporaneous history that I have read.
I think it is generally conceded that the great difficulty with learning
history has been to dove-tail the events and story of the growth of any
one nation with that of another, and this difficulty is overcome most in
terestingly and completely in the Larned books. Yours very truly,
L. R. ALDERMAN, Supt. of Schools.

ELKCTRIO YiSCVL IS TESTED
Xcw Gear on Dock Xo. 1 Proves
That Cargo Can Be Handled Fast.
Through the use of one of four 81
horsepower electric winches installed
nx.,iMnl Dock No. 1 It was proven
yesterday that two gangs of longshore
men can work one hatch of a vessel.
The Grace liner Santa Cecilia was dis-

booms being rigged so that ths ship"
.or at The Oregonian office
winch hoisted the cargo and the dock
winch hauled it onto the dock.
Each of the four electric winches is
portable, so they can be shifted to any
door on the dock and operated with
the cargo booms above. Should a ves
sel moor alongside having a broken
winch or a damaged vessel be docked
without eteam available to oporata
them the electric winches could be
called Into ervlce and make the same
speed as 1 maintained now with ship
wlnehe.. A further test will be made
this momlnit without tho use of the
ship's winch. Q. B. Hea-ardt. chief en

DRYDOCK IS BEIXG ItAISED
Chinook Goes to Upper Harbor Until
St. Johns Plant Is Ready.
Until late last night workmen under
Captain H. T. Groves, superintendent
of dredging of the Port of Portland,
labored in raising pontoon Xo. 1 of the
public drydock at St Johns, which
sank Monday. Such headway was made
that a motor will be installed today
and it is hoped to make more progress.
A diver was sent down to make an in
spection of the sunken section yester
day, but was unable to determine the
cause of the accident. .
Captains J. W. Shaver and K. TV.
Spencer, of the Port of Portland Com
