Newspaper Page Text1 THE MORNING OREGOXIAX. SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 24, 1017. RESCUED ON LAND 85 Mariposa Passengers, Six of Crew Brought to Seattle. SPOKANE SURVIVORS SAFE 235 Taken From Stranded Steamer and Put Down at Prince Rupert. Vessel Lists Precariously and Is Shipping Water Fast. SEATTLE, Wash., Nov. 23. (Spe cial.) With 85 passengers and six members of the crew of the sunken steamship Mariposa, as well as 100 ad ditional passengers, the steamship Jef ferson arrived in port this morning'. While survivors of the Straits Island Iteef disaster, who were in their beds at the time the Mariposa struck, were unable to give definite accounts of the accident, it is quite generally presumed that the sinking of the vessel was due entirely to the absence of proper dan ger warnings in that vicinity. The only mark in these dangerous waters is an acetylene light established on Straits Island Reef, which operates automatically, and is frequently re ported out of commission. Shortly aft er the wreck of the Delhi almost at the same spot, a petition was presented the lighthouse board to establish a fog signal if not a permanent light sta tion at this dangerous position, but was either ignored or denied as un necessary. Advices received from the stranded steamship Spokane which is hung up on a reef in Lamma channel, near Prince Rupert, are that all of the 237 passengers on the vessel, including about 35 of those rescued from the Mariposa, have been taken off by the steamship Princess May and landed at Prince Rupert. An effort was made to float the Spokane at high tide this morning, but proved unsuccessful. The freighter Admiral Wainwright is standing by the stranded steamer awaiting the ar rival of salvage vessels from Van couver. The boat has listed precari ously, according to the 'wireless op erator, who remained at his post with the skipper throughout the night. The boat was shipping water fast, and assistance is necessary if the cargo is to be saved, word received here says. The Spokane, Captain Charles John son master, was heading for Seattle from Alaskan ports. TWIN- CITIES IN- SERVICE J. X. Teal Running to Cmatilla, as IjOW Water Closes Vpper Reaches. To assist the steamer Tahoma, of the Peoples line, on the Portland-The Dalles route, the steamer Twin Cities was yesterday chartered from The Ialles-Columbia line, and Captain I. B. Gray was signed as skipper. Captain Charles Nelson, interested in the Peo ples line, went back on the Tahoma, relieving Captain Pen Short. Both ves sels will be used for a time. The Dalles-Columbia line has the steamer J. N. Teal on the run, going as far as Umatilla at present. It is un able to make Kennewick with a load because of the water being thin," prin cipally at Homily Rapids. Heavy Fall and Winter business is looked for, bet ter water being expected soon, and the river carriers will serve to relieve some of the strain from the railroads on way business. FOG HOLDS BACK SHIPPING Astoria Boats Iiose Trips Because of Thick Conditions, on River. Two river steamers lost a day and some of the deepwatermen were de layed because of the pall of fog that overhung the river yesterday and was reported at the mouth of the Columbia and on Puget Sound. The O.-W. It. & steamer Harvest Queen, due to leave Alnsworth dock at 8 o'clock Thursday night for Astoria, was held for a time, and then the voyage was canceled for the night, the vessel leaving at 7 o'clock yesterday morning, and at 5 o'clock in the afternoon she had not reached Astoria. The Undine, of the Harkins line, which got away from Astoria Thursday night, arrived here at 4:30 o'clock yesterday afternoon, so was ordered to remain until this morn ing. The steamer Tamalpais, lumber laden for San Francisco, was detained at St. Johns for a time yesterday afternoon, the fog having shut tn so tnick it was thought for a time she would not sail. The steamer Rose City entered the river at 5 o'clock in the afternoon from the Golden Gate, and it is hoped she will be here this morning to start dis charging cargo, but if the fog bolds on as thick on the lower river as at Portland, it Is doubted if she will be in early. No accidents were reported, skippers adhering to the rules of the road at all times, so the greatest con cern was lest some, of the fleet might take the ground. L.IGIITHOTJSE FLEET GATHERS Manzanita, Heather, Kukui and Co lumbine on Puget Sound. Puget Sound was the rendezvous of four lighthouse tenders yesterday that at present are attached to the Seven teenth Lighthouse District, headquar ters of which are here and in charge of Robert Warrack. inspector. The vessels are the Manzanita and Heather, regularly employed in the district, and the Kukui, which is on the way from Alaska to her permanent station in the Tiawaiians, and the Columbine, n-ow home from Honolulu. A fifth tender. the Rose, is on duty at Astoria. The Kukui is undergoing an over hauling and will be on her way to the island possessions shortly. The Col umbine is reported in need of exten sive repairs and bids will probably be called for after an estimate is mads and specifications drawn. She prop erly belongs to the Seventeenth Dis trict, but it has not been determined whether she will be reassigned here. LAKE RANCHER IS FREED J. I. 0'COXOR ACQUITTED OK CATTLE-STBAL1XO CHARGES.

OVERTIME IS FIXED AT $1 Xcw Scale Becomes Effective Mon day and Applies to Men Employed in Portland and Columbia River Districts. Longshoremen, of Portland, and the Columbia River district have been granted an increase in wages of 5 cents an hour straight time and 10 cents an hour overtime, making the pay 65 STEAMER SPOK.WE. cents an hour s'traight time and $1 an hour overtime on all but general coast wise cargo, which remains 60 and 90 cents. The new scale goes into effect Monday Recently longshoremen asked for the adoption of the San Francisco scale, that move being made as well on Puget Sound, and the assumption was that the situation would be gone into by the United States Shipping Board so that the same base pay would prevail, not necessarily the San Francisco sched ule. Meanwhile, stevedores and ship pers' discussed the wage problem and it was determined that, regardless of the ultimate action of the Shipping Board, the increase would be allowed as announced yesterday. While the information was given out by the employers, it is understood the longshoremen are satisfied, inasmuch as the aim has been to keep Portland on a parity with Puget Sound, San Francisco scales not being recognized. The Puget Sound scale is 65 cents and $1 on lumber, whether loaded for coast wise or foreign destinations, and all foreign cargo, both loading and dis charging, takes the same scale, but coastwise general cargp is handled for 60 and 90 cents. It is said that win be the schedule in effect here and the men will be paid on that basis Monday, except in working cargo on certain ships on- which they are now engaged. Following tho coastwise striKe 01 longshoremen in June, 1916. they re- urned to work here on a scale or au and 75 cents. Later the straight time was increased to 55 cents, and early his season it was boosted to 60 and 90 cents, so with 65 cents and $1 prevail ing the employers feel that the men who are remaining in the business will be better taken care of. Though ship ping fell off with the war and manV ongshoremen found other means 01 livelihood, those remaining on the beach are experienced and in every in stance since the strike have been aDie to deal harmoniously with the em ployers. CHINOOK TO BE PAINTED GRAY Columbia River Dredge Not to Join War Fleet as Transport. It having 'been determined that the Government dredge Chinook is not to be changed back to a merchantman or transport for the present, captain Archie Cann is going to get into the war game Just the same by decorating the big digger with a new coat of paint and the color will be battleship gray. At present the Chinook has a dark red coat. It has served for many days and ah year, when overhauling has been in progress, it has either been freshened up in places or repainted. liut now battlship gray is to be adopted, a change that is eatisfactory to officers and crew. Chief Kngineer Slocum has overhaul ing in his department under way and the fact all work is progressing as in other years, lends color to the report that at least for the immediate future the Chinook is not to be taken over by the Navy or Shipping Board. And mar iners are Just as pleased the Chinook is to remain at home, for greater results are expected of her operations at the at the mouth of the Columbia in 1918. Pacific Coast Shipping Notes.

SOME LATITUDE ALLOWED Women Who Provldo $1000 Bond to Be Quarantined at Homes Un til Cured Instead of Being Sent to Kelly Butte. A drastic ordinance aimed to curb the spread oT social diseases was passed by the City Council yesterday and went into effect immediately. The measure requires physicians to report all cases, druggists to report all sales of drugs usually used for cures along 'h's line. and gives the City Health Officer authority to quarantine, isolate or intern cases. The measure was introduced In the Council by Mayor Baker after numer ous conferences with the Oregon Social Hygiene Society and other organiza tions interested, in the work. The measure has been in course of prepara tion for several days by City Attorney Lalloche and other attorneys and physicians. The measure is to be op erated in conjunction with the deten tion home for women established by the county at Kelly Butte sub-Jail. The measure provides a penalty of 1500 fine or six months in Jail for violations. It is made the duty of every physician, superintendent of a hospital or sanitarium or other per son treating surh diseases to report to the City Health Officer every case coming to his or her, attention. The report must be made within three days of the time of first application for treatment. The Information wilt be treated in confidence by the Health Officer, the record to be secret. When the physician takes a case he is required to give the patient a cir cular containing information on the subject, the circular to be furnished by tho Health Office. As soon as the Health Officer re ceives notice of a case he is required to take steps at once to prevent spread of tho disease. He is required to as certain the source of the disease and has power of investigation and exami nation. He can order the case into isolation or quarantine and in the case of women can order them sent to the detention home for treatment. Where demands are made women physicians will be furnished to make the exam inations. In lieu of isolation, the pa tient may agree to remain in isolation at home and furnish a bond of $1000 to guarantee obeservance of quaran tine or other restrictions until cured. This provision Is aimed to provide against the sending of girls to the detention home, where the surround ings would not be to their advantage. To the Health Officer is given discre tion in the bond proposition and the bond must be approved by the Mayor. The measure makes it an offense punishable by fine and imprisonment for any person to inoculate another Also it requires that every druggist shall keep a record of the name and address of every person purchasing any drug commonly used in the treat ment of these diseases. The records as kept shall be sent to the Health Officer weekly. The druggist is sub ject to fine and imprisonment for fall ing to report such sales. i ne meas ure also provides for reports where patients change physicians during the course of their treatment. The detention home for women win be opened by the county on lucsaay or Wednesday, at which time a num ber of women already rounded up by the police will be sent there, rue city plans later to establish a detention home on property acquired for that purpose about three years ago near Troutdale.
