Salem. Or., Oct. 19. In the Southern
Pacific Railway company's annual re
port, published in Sunday's Journal,
as filed in the office of the railroad
commission, the figures in one section
were misplaced. The section should
have read:

According to the published story, the

"Not angry, exactly," s4ld the Roman

remained at the fire until 3 o'clock
this morning. Today he forwarded 60
barrels of oil for the use of the Camp
bell's engines, and also sent food and
Buarrties.

"No one knows exactly how It wa.-
started." said Mr. McDowell. "Offi
cers and men declare it was the quick
est fire they ever saw. I have already
notified our San Francisco and New
York "Tbf flees. The ship was due in
Portland at fi o'clock last night and
had she made it she would have com
pleted 'her run from San Francisco
to Portland in 0 hours. The Santa
Catalina was on her second trip to
Portland. She was one of the first
ships to come to the coast via the
Panama canal and had discharged
considerable cargo at San Francisco.
"I do rrt know just what insur
ance she carried, nor can I estimate
the loss at this time."
Master Makes Xeport.
So far under control was tin fire
aboard the steamer Santa Catalina
this morning at 9 o'clock that Captain
J. V. Rose was able to make a trip of
investigation through her before com
ing to Portland.
Ills report to G. M. McDowell, local
agent for W. R. Grace & Co., was as
follows:
"Her engine room, bojler room,
cabins, galley, saloon and everything
amidships have been completely
gutted.
"Cargo hatches Nos. 1 and 4, situat
ed forward and aft, respectively, are
beli.eved to be Intact.
"Cargo hatch No. 2 was completely
gutted.
"Cargo hatch No. 3 had some fire
in it, and was flooded within three
feet of the deck in putting out the
iiamos.
"The starboard side of her hold is
badly buckled, the stack buckled over
and everything of a combustible na-J
ture stripped from her decks."
One Tank Only Burned.
Captain Rose was able to get within
a few feet of the port oil tank, and
also near the main oil tank, running
the length of the ship, and believes
that both are intact. The starboard oil
tank, in which the fire is still burn
ing, was completely destroyed.
His spirit broken through the loss of
his fine steamer, and nervous from his
long night's vigil in fighting the fire.
Captain Rose presented a sorry spec
tacle this morning. He was wet and
bedraggled when, he left the vessel to
cqme to Portland.
From the necessarily hasty examina
tion made this morning, it is believed
that the loss on the Santa Catalina
will be about 80 per cent. The flames
gnawed at her entrails, ruining the
fine engines and everything except a
small portion forward and aft. There
is a chance that the cargo in Nos. 1

and 4 hatches will be found in good
condition when the ship has cooled off
sufficiently to allow the batches to be
opened.
When G. M. McDowell, the Port
land agent of the line, reached St.
Helens last night the Santa Catalina
was a mass of flames and her amid
ships at a white heat. Flames were
shooting into the air, and it looked
for a while as though there would be
no chance of saving anything,
rireboat ! rins work.
Quick work by the fireboat, which
made the run to St. Helens in an
hour and 20 minutes, and had every
available stream of watyt jlaying on
the fire shortly af terwarti, made a
noticeable impression on the flames at
once, however, and resulted in their
being driven away from the forward
and after hatches.
To steamship men who saw the
fire and realize the, fierce heat with
which It burned, the reason that the
port oil tank and the big main tank
which runs the length of the steamer
did not burn is a mystery. Had they
gone, there would have been no chance
of saving anything off the steamer.
As soon as the fire is' completely
out and the ship's hull cooled suffi
ciently to allow of the opening of
the hatches, she will be pulled off
th. Viennh anrl hroilffht on UD to Port
land to be gone over. Until then no l10.6 out of ll-
close idea of the extent of the cargo
damage can be ascertainejL
The ship contained 1600 rons of mer
chandise for Portland firms and about
600 tons for delivery at Puget sound
after she had completed here. Figure
roughly prepared place the value of
this cargo at $400,000 all of which is
covered by insurance.
Substitute to Be Put On.
The Steamer herself was valued at
$700,000. She was built in Philadel
phia in 1913. Her dimensions are: '
Lent. 420 feet; beam, 53.9. and depth
of hold, 29 feet; gross tonnage, 6309.
Local houses, having goods in the
Santa Catalina, commenced early this
morning to assemble their bills of
lading preparatory to duplicating
orders where the goods were de
stroyed. Orders will be held up pend
ing the opening of No. 1 and 4 hatches.
however. j
W. R. Grace & Co. have already set .
to work to supply a substitute for the i
Santa Catalina to take care of the
heavy tonnage awaiting her; here, on
Puget sound and in California ports,
and hope to be able to make an an
nouncement within a day or two.

yesterday afternoon little Winifred
Griffin. 8 year old daughter of Mr.
and Mrs. Drew Griffin of Bugene. Or.,
was caught between the top of the
cage and the threshold of the third
floor and killed. The child, with her
mother, was visiting a sister, Miss
Leona Griffin, cashier of the Union
Central Life Insurance company, who
makes her home at the Orlando
It is impossible to explain just how
the accident happened, as the child
was alone in the elevator at thetime,
Her screams were heard by Mrs.
Thomas Goedecke, wife of the janitor
of the apartments, who summoned E
it. wick and other residents.
They found the child suspended in
midair by its neck and slloulder,
wedged between the threshold of the
third floor and the top of the car.
Mr. Wick called an ambulance, but
all efforts to release the child or move
the elevator were unavailing. An
operative of the elevator company fi
nally released the car after half an
hour's effort. The child wag taken
down. dead. Strangulation is believed
to have been the direct cause of
death.
The pulmotor of the Pacific Tele
phone & Telegraph company was used
without success. Manager C. K. Bland
of the Orlando and others who exam
ined and tested the elevator are at a
loss to explain how the child became
caught as she did.
The child had been a visitor at the

night of Oct. 5, may receive a reward
of $300 from the state, though the

the reward can hold under the cir

law applies to robberies of stage

the holdup because she lacked money
to complete a business college course,
was with him when death came. She
has been a constant visitor at the
hospital.
