The O. R. & N. Company has preferred
charges against them, and this afternoon
they have been summoned to appear be
fore the United States Vessel Inspectors,
Edwards and Fuller, to show cause why
. they left the ship. Their action is said
to be contrary to the law regulating li

NOTHING TO BAT.
When asked for additional Information
on the subject this morning Superintend
ent Conway, of the O, R. A N. water
lines, said: ' ,
"I do not .care to talk for publication.
00 to the engineers, and if you can re
ceive from them any plausible excuse
for their quitting, you can do mors than
1 have done."
The local marine engineers state that
It is no sympathetic strike, and insist that
they do not know what the reasons ace.
for the action of the Elder's engineers.
J. M. Benson, national district deputy
of the Marine Engineers' Association,
-with headquarters ir San Frnolco, is.
In the city for the avowed' purpose, as
stated by himself, to inquire into the
strike situation. His coming her at the
same time that the Elder's engineers re
signed looks very much as though the
matter had been decided upon before the
vessel left San Francisco, and that he
knew exactly what was going to occur.'
He Is presumably here through the order
of National President Uhler, but he does
not admit it.
The engineers claim that they have the
privilege of quitting at any time they
so wish, and that they intend to exercise
that right
CARPET HERE AT LAST.

Wollaber, of the local Weather Bureau,

Besides the Committee, nearly every
other member of the Council was present
as well as several attornos, as the sub

the city has had -to .l.-al with In years.
It"related to the storage (if pefloleuni o.
any of Its products, ..i any gasoline 01
hydro-carbon liquids.
MR. FLiKGEL'S OKMNANCE.
Promptly a 2 o'cloik ih. committee gol
down to business ami commenced a dis
cussion of the sul.Jn t before them.,
When Mr. Flegel rres. nt. d his ordi
nance, upon Which th- nmin discussion
arose, he said that every one knew tHat
he was not against the nulch In Alblua,
the Terminal, rroun ls . r the Standard
Oil Company's prestnt site, under proper
restrictions, but the eipz. ns should b
granted the unlimited us., of fuel oil tis
that IB the coming healing nrtlcle, tlid
Its introduction should be encouraged.
Therefore ha had spent smp ten days
In framing an ordinance which he
thought would fcover the good features
of all other ordinances and give every
one wishing to enter the field an .equal
chance to do business.
The ordinance is oulte a lengthy onv
there being nine sections. The first two,
however, coyer all the grounds the pub
lic are Interested In. The other sections
are In' rega'ri' to pipe lines', penalties for
violations of the ordinance and numer
ous restrictions. The two sections re
ferred to follow:
INFLAMMABLE MATERIALS.
Section 1. It shall be' unlawful here
after, for, any .person, flrn, association,
or corporation to store," or 'permit the
storage of, or- keep in any way or for
any purpose, whether for the purpose of
sale or otherwise, within the corporate
lmlts of the City of Portland, any pe
troleum or crude petro.'eum, or any pro
duct of petroleum, or any gasoline or
hydro-Carbon liquids (save and except
crude pertoleum to he used for fuel pur
poses only in the operation of the busi
ness of the person, Arm, association or
corporation storing or keeping the same,
or, for fuel purposes only, upon the
premises where stored or kept) In any
greater quantity than five hundred (500)
gallons, save and except within the fol
lowing described limits therein, to-wlt:
THE PRESCRIBED LIMITS.

East Water street; thence south along

the place of beginning.
CRUDE FUEL PETROLEUM.
Section 2. It shall be unlawful for any
person, firm, association or corporation
to store, permit the storage of, or keep,
crude petroleum to be used for fuel pur
poses as provided in section 1 of this or
dinance, within the corporate limits of
the City of Portland, save and except
within the limtts particularly described
In section 1 of this ordinance, In quan
tities in excess of five fiundred gallons,
unless The same be stored or kept eithar
i Btorage tanks .or receptacles built be
low the, surface pf the ground and In
such a manner and of such material as
shall be approved or required by the Flr3
Commissioners of, the City of Portland.
ABOVE GROUND TANKS.
Or, If constructed aoove the surface of
the ground, unless the same be kept or
stored In iron or steel tanks or recep
tacles constructed upon stone,, brick or
cement foundations, and all such tanks
or receptacles shall be surrounded by a

such retaining wall to be sufficiently high
and the area within such retaining wall
to be sufficiently large as to contain the.
entire contents of the tank or tanks In
closed thereby above a. plane of elevation
which is twenty-four (24) feet above low
water mark in the Willamette River;
such retaining wall to be constructed
upon each block occupied by any such
tank or tatrksFoireFeceffircTes.
This ordinance will be introduced at
the next meeting of the Council.
OBJECTIONS CROP UP.
Previous to the reading of the ordinance
Mr. Bentley had moved that all ordinan
ces pertaining to the subject be indefinite
ly postponed, and-upon Sharkey's second
the motion carried Mr. Zimmerman did
not understand the matter and asked a
reconsideration. Mr. Bentley sald that
JEWISH DAY ,

Commences This Evening and Lasts
24 Hours Services in
Synagogs.
The Jewish Day of Atonement will
commence this evening and finish to
morrow evening, -rounding out H hoors
during which all Jews who are physic
ally able fast." The services In- the,jew
tsh"6yagoK)J.ea. durjngthis holiday are
of an extraordinary nature, being" most
ly supplicatory. The whole day la de-,
voted to prayers. On the night pre
vious it is a custom to give either food
or roohe'y "to the poor. The food that Is
given to the poor is the best that thej
marKet affords. 1
Services in the Jewish Synagogues will
commence at 6:30 o'clock this evening
and e-'eloek tomorrew-fnornlngT- -tr4ft

his Idea was not to act on any special
ordinance, but to wait and take up one
covering all the points at Issue. He said
he would withdraw his motion if Sharkey
would withdraw his second.
"I'll withdraw my second," retorted, the
harness man, ""but am not for the with
drawal of the motion.- I want to See ac
tion on this very important matter post
poned." Mr. Zimmerman wanted to ae matters
come to a head and advocated aeelng all
the ordinances considered together. It
was declared that the matter was open
for discussion and Whitney L. Boise, rep
resenting the Hawthorne estate, took the
iloor.
ASKS AN INVESTIGATION."
Mr. Boise-said that he wanted to advo
cate a delay in ' taking any Immediate
action In the matter. He thought the
committee should proceed slowly and con
sent the wishes of the heavy; property
owners and business coneerna t am not
here to comment on this ordinance but
would advise you to summon the man
agers of the Buffalo Pitts Company,
Studebaker Bros. Co., Deere Plow Com
pany,' Advance Thresher Company, and
the several othr- large concerns' who
would lose anywhere from $500,(100 to H,
000,000 If a lire should Sweep through their
district,
THE NINTH'S CHAMPION.
Councilman Sharkey, speaking for his
constituents of the Ninth ward, made a
vigorous speech against Flegel's ordi
nance, covering much of the Bame grounds
as Mr. Boise. Sharkey said that he had
called upon six of the largest concerns
to be affected by the ordinance, and they
threw their hands up In holy horror when
they learned of the proposed laying aside
of Vi blocks for an oil district. He said
that the people in the district were almost
a unit against the proposed action.
When Sharkey resumed his seat Albee
asked him about Insurance rates.
"1 am the agent for a couple of insur
ance companies and can say that all the
responsible companies have raised their
rates in this district. Not only this, but
In the race of the fact that a new 14-lrvh
water main has been put In to add to the
fire protection, the Insurance companies
have instructed their agents to cancel all
the policies at their expiration. 1 under
stand that Studebaker Bros, have been
refused any more insurance."
HARMLESS PETROLEUM.
Attorney !,..W...Carey. appeared onbe:
half of the Associated Oil Company ot
San Francisco, which has petitioned the
council for permission to erect and main
tain fuel petroleum tanks on the terminal
grounds, appeared and urged action m
the matter. He called attention to the
fact that the fuel petroleum was not In
flammable and could not be lighted except
when vaporized with steam and that there
was absolutely no danger In storing 'I
right In the heart of a business or resi
dence district.
Attorney LInthlcum spoke along the
lines of F'gel's ordinance, and a repre
sentative of the Pacific Oil & Transporta
tion Company also had a few werds to
say. He pointed 'out the harmtessnesa ot
the fuel petroieum and asked that Mr.
Zimmerman, who was In San Francisco
recently, te of what he saw. .
"1 found tanks containing all the way
from 2.500,000 gallons down scattered all
over the water front and elsewhere. 1
consulted with people living near the
tanks, and business men, and they dfd
not seem to mind them at all.
"In a short time we will have fuel
tanks In North Portland, South Portland.
West Portland and East Portland; We
will have to come to It. as petroleum Is
the coming fuel and it Is not dangerous In
case of Are."
LEGAL OPINION" ASKED.
Bentley stated that, when the ordinance
came up he Intended to oppose it vigor
ously. He was in favor of relegating all
storage tanks for Inflammable or explos
ive liquids to some point or points outside
the limits, but that he favored allowing
fuel petroleum companies the right to
erect their tanks within the city limits.
"It's a case with me of 'get out one,
come In the other."
Just previous to adjournment Bentley
made a motion, which was carried, call
ing upon the city attorney for an opinion
as to wnether the city has a right to
r?guTaleneTtoTrage6f " TnBamimibIe'ons'
within the city limits.
This is aimed directly at the Standard
Oil Company. If the city has the right
It is the Intention to limit the amount of
oil the company can store on Its present
grounds to such a small amount that It
will not be profitable for them to continue
in business there. If they move they will
be obliged to 'go outside the corporate
limits of the city.
S. Wise will officiate and deliver ah ad
dress on "True and False Atonement"

subject of his address will be "The Par
able of the Book of Jonah." Memorial
services will be held at S;30. after which
