SHOPS TO BE ENLARGED
Permission Asked to Extend Yard
Over Site of Burned Mont;rom

Heads Enterprise.
One contract assured and two or
three others being negotiated, all for
the construction of steel vessels of
irom auuu to 33uu tons deadweight, are
the prospects for the Albina Engine
& Machine Shop s new venture in ship
building, which will be undertaken on
property adjoining the company's plant
on Albina avenue an4 extending to
the river over land comprised in the
J. B. Montgomery estate.
Norwegian vessel owners have in
terested William Cornfoot, head of the
company, in the work. Plans he has
quietly formed were made known gen
erally yesterday on application being
filed with the Council for the vaca
tion of streets between the river and
the present plant. The yard will cover
the site of Montgomery dock, which
burned about two years ago. That will
provide a frontage on the river of 600
feet and a depth to the plant now in
use of 520 feet.
All ArranKfmfnti Maele.
Space will be available for the erec
tion of fiw building berths if required,
and, with the machine shop n,ow main
tained, will be installed a large amount
of new machinery. Arrangements have
been made for financing the proposi
tion, as well as for obtaining steel.. Mr.
Cornfoot has an organized force of me
chanics in his employ, and his ability
to gather more was demonstrated in
the crews he engaged for repairs
aboard the Japanese steamer Kenkon
Maru No. S, on which $$00,000 worth
of work was done between August 4
and October 15.
There is said to be an active de
mand for smaller types of steel ships
in Norway and other Scandanavian ter
ritory than those for which orders were
first placed along the Coast, which
ranged from 8800 to 10.000 tons. One
reason assigned is that a number have
been lost as a result of the war, and
Scandinavian interests are taking ad
vantage of the opportunity to place
orders in America for new tonnage
with which to replace them, as well
as enlarge their fieets where possible.
Experienced Man at Head.
Mr. Cornfoofs early building edu
cation was obtained in big steel yard!
or ttie United Kingdom, while he has
had active experience at sea as an en
gineer, ana Has chief s papers. While
at Portland ho has handled several big
jobs, among them the partial recon
struction of the Government dredge
cmnooK at a cost of $100,000 a few
years ago, and has since successfully
competed for her annual overhauling.
lie is regarded well fitted to undertake
the management of such a plant as the
new ono promises to be.
iho ships to be turned out will be
of somewhat lighter construction than
the freighters building at the plant of
the Northwest Steel Company, which
are of SS00 tons dead weight. The new
ones will be smaller than any steel car
riers under way along the Coast, so
it is argued there is not such a demand
for the class of steel required, and the
question of material Is regarded set
tled. At the same time the shops and
facilities will be such that much larger
vessels can be undertaken after the
first contracts are finished.
Two Steel Ships Building.
The Northwest Steel Company was
the first to launch a steel shipbuilding
project here, and has two freighters
, under way and a third will be begun
shortly. Seven are contracted for in
all, while .It is understood four addi
tional vessels are assured of the same
siae. Details have not all been closed
for the establishment of a yard adjoin
ing that of the Northwest Steel Com
pany, for which negotiations have been
on the last few weeks.
Besides the steel plants, there are
seven wooden shipyards on the river,
between Astoria and Portland, with a
total of 26 ships contracted for, and
more work Is being negotiated. Hun
dreds of men are given employment,
and by the opening of the new year it
is predicted there will be an Immense
Increase in the shipbuilding activity.
Added to the actual building, are the
widespread benefits derived from man
ufacturers of ship parts, who are being
pressed with orders.

Findings Avoid Saying Whether In
cendiarism Is Suspected Cap
tain Mason Is Praised.
SAN FRANCISCO. Oct. 18. (Special.)
The fire which broke out In the aft
hold of the steamer Beaver jon Sep
tember 11 while she was en route from
Portland to this port was caused by
the throwing of a lighted 'cigrar,
cigarette or some other material afire
down the ventilator, according1 to a de
cision rendered by Inspectors of Steam
boats James Guthrie and Joseph Dolan
today.
In giving out the decision the in
spectors refused to say whether or not
they believed that the fire was started
accidentally or was incendiary.
The inspectors exonerated Captain
Archie Mason and Chief Engineer K.
Townsend from all blame and strongly
commended them and the officers and
crew of the Beaver for the splendid
manner in which they handled the situation.

Father's Precautions Foiled.
Barbara Dietrick, the four and a half-
year-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs.
Peter Dietrick, 602 Borthwick street,
was burned to death yesterday after
noon In the basement of a neighbor's
home when a match struck while play
ing with a friend ignited her clothing.
The flames from the filmy clothes
soon enveloped the child, and screams
from her and her playmate, Katie
Holzman, five years old, aroused
neighbors, who hurried to learn the
cause. Mrs. Dietrick was away at the
time, and when neighbors arrived, the
girl was badly burned. She died two
and a half hours later. The Holzman
girl was not Injured.
The tragedy occurred in the house
in which Barbara Holzman was killed
by a. man March 15, 1911. Katie Holz
man is a sister of Barbara Holz
man and only yesterday Fire Marshal
Stevens ordered before the Juvenile
Court two boys, cousins of the Holz
man girl, for playing with matches.
An investigation by Fire Marshal
Stevens and Captain Roberts, acting
with Harry P, Coffin, of the Public
Safety Commission, showed that Mr.
Dietrick, father of the dead girl, had
complied with the regulation requiring
the keeping of matches in a. tin box
out of reach of children, but that the
two girls apparently had knocked the
box down from the shelf with a stick.
They then went into the Holzman
basement to play with the matches.
They had struck a number before the
Dietrick girl's clothes were ignited.

A proposal to permit women to sit as

membership in his advisory council was
denied. The house suggested to the

The proposal to give women equal
rights with men In the convention was
sponsored by Robert H. Gardiner, of
Gardiner. Me. A similar resolution Is
now on the calendar of the house of
deputies and. It was pointed out, today's
action in the upper house does not pre

ATLANTA. Ga., Oct. IS. The South
was racked by earthquake and swept
by storm at the same time today. While
a tropical hurricane was flaying the
Gulf Coast, earth tremors overturned
chimneys and frightened away many
people from their homes in Georgia,
Alabama and Tennessee.
The earthquake did little damage, but
a wind that reached a velocity of lit
miles an hour lifted roofs from houses
at Pensacola. Fla.. and sank several
vessels In the harbor. One life was
lost.
greu Killed by Live Wire.
Mobile reported that it had been
touched more lightly, although the
wind blew 110 miles an hour. Two
small buildings A destroyed and a
negro woman was killed by a live wire
Shipping at Mobile had been warned
and apparently suffered little harm.
Two river steamers were sunk, a
schooner and a steamer were driven
ashore and small boats were lost.
The earth shocks were felt shortly
after 4 o'clock and were severest in
Montgomery a-id Birmingham. Ala.,
where swaying office buildings were
emptied within a few minutes. In the.-e
towns chimneys were destroyed and
articles were hurled from shelves In
residences and shops. Elsewhere no
damage was reported.
Quake Laela 3 Mlonlrs.
The earthquake was felt as far north
as Louisville, Ky.. and east of Augusta.
Ga, Its duration was about three min
utes and there were two chocks.
The hurricano had been sweeping
northward from Yucatan and hit the
coast early today. It had moved well
into the interior tonight with decreased
intensity and shipping was notified by
weather offices that all danger was
past on the sea.
New Orleans Escapes.
Mobile was struck early In the day
and wire communication went down ii
a short time. Soon Pensacola. too. wa.
cut off, and not until tonight was it
possible to reach that city. Estimates
tonight put the damage in Mobile at
$15,000, but no estimates had been
made of the loss at Pensacola. New
Orleans escaped the storm.
Everywhere the high wind was ac
companied by a torrential downpour of
water. At Burwood. La., there was a
fall of nearly 11 Inches during the day.
Montgomery. Ala., was swept by &
heavy wind and there was a.
heavy rainfall, but little damage.
Houses were damaged at Opp, Ala., and
there was damage at other small towns
throughout Alabama. Houses and
stores were unroofed at Troy. In these
sections there was no report of loss
of life.
Alabama la Hard Hit.
Reports coming in late tonight from
many small towns in Alabama indicat
ed that damage in rural districts might
reach many thousands of dollars. Trav
eling salesmen reaching Montgomery
told of buildings blown down and un
roofed and of thousands of acres of
timber being damaged throughout Ala
bama. Virtually the same district on
the Gulf Coast that was hit by today's
storm suffered heavy damage in the
great July hurricane. Then shipping
sustained the most serious loss ever
known In a Gulf storm, and In scores
of cities and towns the damage went
Into the thousands of dollars.
A short time later millions of dollars
of damage was done by a storm In
the two Caroltnas.
