Judge In Suit of Dismissed Employe for Salary Gives Ruling; as to Appearance Before Board. Though you may only shovel snow from the street or be employed in manual labor by the Water Bureau, if you were employed by regular routes, through the Civil Service Board, the city cannot discharge you without ac cording you the same right to a hear ing as the highest-priced .man in its employ.

Davie In the case of C J. Hermann against the city of Portland. In the case tried yesterday and which went to the jury last night, Hermann sued the city for J3.60 a day during the five months following July. 1914. Hermann was employed in the Water Bureau as a blacksmith and was laid off on account of lack of work. He appealed to the Civil Service Board and that body put him back in the muni cipal shops. Poor workmanship was charged when he was dismissed. After a hearing the Civil Service Board sus tained the dismissal. He sued for the time he was off, from when he first was let out and when the Civil Service Board put him back In the municipal shops. William' Daly Is Found Dead. ' SALEM. Or., Jan.. 20. (Special.)

ICE DAMAGE NOTED Three River Steamers Arrive in Need of Repairs. POULSEN SPRINGS LEAK I Ocklahama Is Rammed Astern by Temple E- iorr Henderson Has . Hole Punched in Hows. Harkins Is Running. Damaged by ice so that she leaked I at the rate of five inches an hour, the steamer Johan Poulsen arrived late yesterday after temporary repairs were I made, and is to be lifted on the Oregon drydock today to have several planks replaced in her hull. The steamer Ocklahama reached here last night badly damaged astern, as the result of hav ing been struck by the steamer Temple E. Dorr while making her way through the ice below Brookfield. The steamer Henderson had a small hole knocked in her bow by ice in North Portland ! harbor yesterday, and repairs were made here. The Poulsen was 11 hours making her way from Astoria to Westport, though smooth steaming was had as far as Altoona, where the ice was met, and she was in it constantly to West port, so in that stretch she spent 10 hours. It was not until she began loading lumber that the leak was re ported, and it was then making at the rate of five inches an hour. 'mere was no damage apparent where the vessel was sheathed, and on being beached it was discovered to be on the starboard side about two feet under her light water line. Plankfnsr I Cut. The four-inch planking had been cut through there in one place and other planks were damaged, so, at least for part of their length, five or six will be renewed. On the port side amidships more planking was damaged. ; i It is estimated the vessel will be on the drydock about three days. Damage to the steamer Ocklahama consists of the fantail being carried I away, both monkey rudders, outside cylinder timDers on tne siarooara eme and Inside timbers on the port side, i besides damage to the wheel proper, W. Wright, manager of the Port of , Portland, after examining the steamer! at the drydock last night, salt it would require six weeks or two months to j make complete repairs. According to the report made to him the Ocklahama was in tow of the tug Wallula, though under her own steam. and the Temple E. Dorr was astern. when, at Elliott, below Brookfield, the Wallula ran over some submerged piling that was covered with ice, so she Hlowed and the Ocklahama am likewise, the Dorr striking the stern wheeler. Henderson Also Damaged. The Henderson, with officials of the Shaver Transportation Company aboard, made a trip to North Portland harbor in the morning, it being desired to ascertain if log rafts could be handled there. While an effort was being made to push into the ice it is supposed a hole was driven in the planking near the bow though it was not discovered until the steamer had returned to Portland. A sample was secured of the ice there and it measured five inches in thickness. Captain Hosford, of the Harkins line, said last night that the steamer Jessie Harkins was operating between Vancouver and the Oregon shore in clear water, all ice having gone out below the interstate bridge. Conditions there were favorable for the ice to melt in a day or twd, be said. The McCormick steamer Multnomah arrived in the harbor last night, after having been on the way from Astoria since midnight, the vessel proceeding cautiously so as to eliminate danger of damage. Rivermen look for the ice in the Lower Columbia to break up so that navigation can be resumed early in the week. SNOVIOXIAX IS AT NAPLES British Steamer AVith Wheat , Cargo From Portland Reaches Port. Safe at Naples after steaming more than 90 days is the British tramp Sno donian, which was reported to the Mer chants' Exchange yesterday as having reached the Italian port January 19. She left the Columbia River on Octo ber 4 and because of the closing of the Panama Canaj was compelled to follow the long route to the Mediterranean. The steamer was at Balboa October 29 and reported at Coronel November 20, making Montevideo December 4 and St. Vincent December 24, while she passed Gibraltar January 3. The ves sel had 227,995 bushels of wheat aboard. She was followed from the Columbia October 5 by the British steamer Volga, the latteY being bound for Belfast, and her arrival at Balboa was about the same as that of the Snowdonian and she was reported at Montevideo about November 24 and St. Vincent December 12, having passed less time at the Pa cific side of the Canal than the Snow donian. ICE STOPPED SHIPS IX 190 7 Aragonia Broke Way Here and Re leased Steamer Columbia. With the shifting of the wind yester day from chilly quarters to the east and north to more balmy southern climes, thereby indicating an early breaking up of the ice on the Lower Columbia, a tie-up of ocean-going ves sels was avoided by the freeze, though it caused the withdrawal of a number of river steamers. The last freeze that blocked deep- water men was in 1907 and the steamer Columbia, then in the service of the San Francisco & Portland line, was held in the ice from January 17 to January 25, when on her way to sea, having sailed from Portland January 16. She was released after the German steamer Aragonia, at that time under charter to the Portland & Asiatic Steamship Company, broke her way through the ice on her arrival from the Orient.
