f THE MORNING OEEGONIAN, SATURDAY, JANUARY 31, 1903. 11 MAROONED ON ROCK Unpleasant Predicament of Crescent City's Passengers, STEAMER LOST OFF rVIENDOCINO L'nBucceHftful Efforti of Llfe-Savers to Iteach the. Stranded People Tup: From San Frnncisco Sent to the Rescue. SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 30. The steam schooner Crescent City ran on Fish Rock, off the Mendocino coast, during a gale at an oarly hour this morning. Her passengers and crew, numbering in all about 25, took refuge on the rock. The steamer Scotia was signalled and after beating about for several hours, managed to launch a boat, which took 10 of the stranled persons off the rock and trans ferred them to the Scotia. The life-sav Ire crew from Point Arena could not ( laur.cn a boat, but attempted to snoot lines over the rock from shore, but cwing to the wind all effects In this di rection were unsuccessful. About 15 persons are still on the rock, but are In no danger, except from ex posure. Tug boats from San Francisco will make an attempt to rescue the ma rooned persons. The sea is very rough and it may be necessary to leave the people on the-rock all night. The Cres cent City Is slowly breaking up and, un less the storm ceases, will probably be a total loss. At 11 o'elock the fires of the marooned party could be plainly discernible, and the people ashore are satisfied that no at tempt will be made tonight to take them off the rock. From the lights at sea it -would appear that two tugs are hovering about waiting for dawn. (The steamer Crescent City was built at San Francisco in 18S2. She registered 198 tons and was 145 feet long, 28 feet beam and 12 feet depth. .She has always been in the coasting service out from San Francisco.) MENDOCINO. Cal.. Jan. SO. The tug Sea Rover, from San Francisco, arrived here at 7 o'clock tonight and is lying near the wrecked Crescent City. It Is not believed she will attempt to do any thing until tomorrow morning, as tho night Is very dark and the surf still heavy. The people on the rock are as comfortable as could be expected in the circumstances. They have lire, food and the shelter of some half dozen awnings. The wind is favorable for them and com ing In such a direction that they are protected from its penetrating cold. It is hoped they will be rescued at day breik. DREDGES ARE ALL RIGHT. No Damage Done hy the Freshet In the River. The Port of Portland dredges Columbia and Portland will resume work at their respective posts Monday, the former at Postoflice bar and the latter in the chan nel between the flour mill and Oceanic dock. There was considerable anxiety on the part of uie commissioners for the safety of the big dredge down the river, but she came through the freshet without any mishap. Dredging operations were out of the question with the strong cur rent running and the mass of driftwood, and every attention was given to looking ! out for the safety of the dredge and pipe line. The steamer Maria will go down the river this morning to assist in getting the floats in position so digging can begin the fitst of tne week. The Commissioners have received a num ber o bids from rubber companies for supplying sleeves for the 30-Inch dredge. The bids have been referred to Superin tendent Lockwood. Mr. Lockwood has also been authorized to investigate the matter of dredging a trench for the sub merged pipe line above Madison-street bridge, in accordance with the proposal of the water committee, to lower the pipe so as not to interfere with navigation.

The steamship Elm Branoh arrived up yesterday afternoon, and after a short stay at Weidler's dock, proceeded up through the bridges to Inman, Poulsen & Co.'s milL She is under charter to the Pacific Export Lumber Company to load lumber for Port Arthur. The Elm Branch is well known In the trade, having carried a former lumber cargo out from Portland to the other side. She Is a turret steamer of the same class as the Lime Branch, that recently took a cargo of Oregon wheat to the Mediterranean, and the other vessels of the "Branch" line. The last previous voyage of the Elm Branch was with coal from Newcastle, N. S. W., to Sah Fran cisco, the steamer making the run In 33 days. She left north from San Francisco at noon Sunday, but owing to the fact that her propeller had worked loose In the shaft, was compelled to make slow time to the mouth of the river.

LONDON, Jan. 3a The first attempt to supply incoming steamers with a news service was made today, when Reuter's Telegram Company filed with the Mar coni Wireless Telegraph Company 100 words of news for the Cunard Line steamer Lucania, which left New York Saturday last, and which is due to ar rive at Queenstown today or tomorrow. The "Wireless Company thus far will only engage to attempt to transmit messages 20 to 30 miles from Brow Head, so the news will only reach the steamer a few hours before her arrival at Queenstown The company will have a better chance with the Atlantic Transport Line steam er MInnetonka, which also left New York Saturday, to which a news message will be transmitted tomorrow. Clyde Line. Steamer Ashore. PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 20. The Clyde Line steamer Gulf Stream, from New York for P.adelphia, is ashore 11 miles notfth of Cape May. She is expected to be a total loss. A moderate southeast wind Is flowing, with a heavy fog. The Gulf Stream left New York yester day. The crew was removed In safety. She-coacried no passengers. The wrecking steamer North America has arrived from Delaware Breakwater with the lighter Lottie and is now along side of the steamer. Six of the Gulf Stream's crew were landed by the Here ford Inlet and Stone Harbor life-savers. The work of rescue was accomplished with much difficulty, crwing to the high seas. Captain Swaines and the remainder of the crew decided to stay on board tho steamer as long as they might do so. The vessel is leaking and the water in her hold is six feet deep. Arrangements have been made to lighter her cargo to morrow, but it cannot be said at this time whether there Is a possibility of sav ing the vessel. Low Rate on the Dnncnrn. A reinsurance rate of only 2") per cent is quoted on the overdue British bark Dunearn, now out 200 days from Cardiff for Sitka with a cargo of coal. Specula tors In overdue ships are generally of the opinion that the outlook for the Dunearn Is poor, and are, therefore, expecting an advance in her rate. Even in Summer the Dunearn would be considered as making a long passage, but at this season, when storms of great severity are prevalent on the northern coast, the fact that the bark has not been heard from after a long trip of 20 days is regarded as extremely sig nificant. Indranamlin. Did Xot Lone Anchor. Captain Craven, of tho China liner Indrasamha, was much annoyed by a re port circulated yesterday that the steamer had lost one of her anchors. Some little trouble was had with the windlass at the time the vessel was preparing to snirt from Alaska dock to the flouring mills. but no damage was done. Captain Craven emphatically denies the story that the cable parted and that the anchor was lost. The steamer lias commenced loading her outward cargo, and will get away early next week.

Saul Silvcrfleld Wants to Restrain Sigmund Frank From Casting Gloom on His Property. Saul Silverfleld yct-terday filed Eult against Sigmuni Frank In the State cir cuit Court, to compel the latter to remove a high board fence erected on block J, which is bounded by Columbia, Clay. Eleventh and Twelfth streets. Damagsa in the sum of 51500 are also demanded. The complaint eets forth that the fence stands between property owned by Sliver field and property belonging to Frank, it Is alleged that a large pumber of Jioles have been dug eight feet deep. Into which have been placed poleB 24 feet long. The fence Is said to be 18 feet high, and may be built higher. Silverfleld avers that tne fence on the eide next his property will be painted a funeral black, unless Frank is restrained from so doing.

Judge Frazer granted Ave divorces yes terday, but was not entirely eatlsfled with the proof In two of the cases. He re marked that it f?eemed strange that a couple should live happily together for ten years, and that the husband should go away'without any apparent cause and not return home. When tho case of Maude Acker against Charles W. Acker was being heard, Mrs. Acker testified that they were married in Portland in 1892, and that her husband abandoned her over a year ago. There Is one child, a boy eight yearo old, and the mother did not ask for its custody. Judge Frazer asked why Acker left, and if he drank or gambled. Mrs. Acker an swered that he did not drink or gamble, and she could not tell why he deserted her. She said ehe had to earn her own living. Witnesses corroborated the (statement concerning the desertion, and the court somewhat unwillingly announced the di vorce decree Acker is a street-car motorman. In the case of Susanna Schmidt against Lewie Schmidt, Judge Frazer was oome what uncertain, but Attorney George Cam eron finally convinced the court that the plaintiff should prevail. The Schmidts were married in 1SSS. and have one child. Mrs. Schmidt testified that the defendant deserted her in August, 190L and, before that time frequently remained away from home for periods of from one day to three weeks. Elizabeth Eberman was divorced from Nlnian Eberman and restored to her maiden name of Robb. They were mar rled In October, 190L She stated that soon afterwards he refused to support her or to live with her. Eberman formerly kept a saloon at Spaslde. Ettle B. Markham, who was married to John W. Markham In Texas in 1897, was given a legal separation by Judge Frazer. She was also granted leave to resume her maiden name of DIel. She testified that her husband drank to excese and failed to support her. After their arrival In Portland she said he braced up for awhile and then fell by the wayside- again, and she could do nothing with him. Rosie Peterson was granted a divorce from Charles R. Peterson because of gross and habitual drunkenness. Mrs. Peterson testified that they were married at Olympia in April, 1901, and that her husband soon afterwards commenced to drink intoxicants to excess. She said hfs periods of Inebriety commenced when pay day came around and continued until his money was all gone. In tho suit of Anna Amunds against Nels Amunds Judge Sears announced a decree dissolving the bonds of matrimony, Mro. Amends testified that the defendant spent his nights gambling and drinking and. frequently beat her. Judge Sears asked: "Have you any children?" "You bet," answered a little boy sitting in one of the front seats. "I'm one or them. Mrs. Amunds stated that she has three children. WILL HE DO ITf Attorney Said He Ought to . Chop Wood If He Lost. "If I can't win a case bo plain as this I think I ought to quit practlcine law. nut on a pair of overalls and go out and chop wood or break stones. That Is the way I feel about it. gentlemen of the Jury." These remarks, and more of the same tenor, were made by Attorney F. D, Chamberlain in his closing argument In the eult of Balfour. Guthrie & Co. against the North Pacific Lumber Com pany. Mr. Chamberlain appeared for the plaintiffs and the jury yesterday morning returned a verdict in favor of the de fendants. Mr. Chamberlain consequently has an opportunity to take himself at his own word, and go out and build a rail road or do anything in the line of hard work that strikes his fancy. Balfour, Guthrie & Co. sued the North Pacific Lumber Company to re cover about 53000 on account of lumber shipped to Chill in 1895, some of which was alleged to be not up to the standard Ordered. It was asserted that some of the lumber had to be sold cheap because it was not of good quality. The defend ants denied that the contract was not nuea properly. The case has been tried four times, once before Jndge Shattuck, once before Judge Frazer, and Judge Cleland has had two whacks at it Two or more appeals have ueeii. mtien io tno supreme Court.

Kindly give me the space for a brief com mentary on the following phllospohic gem that appeared in your issue of the 24th: Colonel Lynch's conviction Is a good revela tion of what British justice thinks of the antl. In this country the creaturo looks around for applause and a laurel wreath. Colonel Lynch's conviction reveals noth ing unless it is the antiquity of this sort of Justice to Colonel Lynch's race. It assumed a working hypothesis some time during the reign of Henry .II, and was personified in the persons of Strong- bow, Lacy and Fitzstephen, the benevo lent assimiiators, and continued all through the Plantagenet dynasty, when it was no crime to kill a "croppy" for the reason "that the plaintiff waa Hibernicus et non de quinque sangulnlbua," in the I spiritual solicitude of the Virgin (?) Queen and ner high detachment from all law from the fact that "Her Majesty's prerog ative is not limited by Magna Charta, nor found In Littleton's tenures, nor writ ten in the books of assizes, but registered in the remembrances of Her Majesty's ex chequer, and remains in the rolls of tho records of the Tower." and In the sweet assurance of her deputy Grey "that he had left little for her to reign over but ashes and carcasses," In the confiscation of the church lands by the royal roue, the only supreme lord and head of the church and clergy of England," in the kingly courtesy of James to his petitioner subjects "what is it to you what I do?"; In the benefactions in the plantations of Ulster, Munster, etc.; in the graces and concessions of Charles In defending the title of Catholic estates; in the beati tudes of Cromwell: "If by liberty of con science you mean a liberty to exercise the mass, I judge it best to use plain dealing with you and to let you know where the Parliament of England has power that will not be allowed"; In hla cheerful as surance to the Catholic priesthood, "I will give you wormwood to chew on"; In his gentle association of God Almighty with gunpowder and heresy, for instance, the wholesale butchery of the suckling babes at Droghcda and Wexford, the murder of tne flower ana choicest of tne women and ladles," the braining of the friars, the unspeakable desecration of the persons of helpless women, and all, yes all, "that God above have all the glory"; In the In tegrity of the Prince of Orange and his good faith In the "articles of Limerick" and his deep devotion to things papistical. m the pure and magnanimous act of union, sometimes called "the sale of tho constitution," a proceeding so exalting that one of the auctioneers, Cornwallls, writes, "I despise and hate myself every hour for engaging in such dirty work." British justice to the race that Lynch belongs to Is fully reciprocated and em bodied in the following resolution, unani mously adopted at a full meeting of tho Irish party held in the City Hail, Dublin, on the actual day of the coronation Of Edward VII, on motion of the chairman, Mr. John Redmond, M. P.: "That. Inasmuch as the Governing classes of Engtand have made the corona tion an occasion of boasting before tho world of the unity and" solidarity of their empire, we, the Parliamentary represen tatives or live-sixths of the Irish people, whose native legislature has been, by base and fraudulent methods, suppressed, more than half of whose population has been carried away by famine and emigration, and who arc at this moment stripped of every constitutional right, of trial by Jurj't of freedom of the press, and of public meeting and combination, by a system of merciless coercion, in order to preserve the domination of an alien section of the population, deem it our. solemn duty to declare that Ireland separates herself from the rejoicings of her Imperialist op pressors, and stand apart in rightful dis content and disaffection." And you will And Irish justice speaking through the medium of its chief organ, the Freeman's Journal, sympathizing with suffering and with unbounded admiration for spartan endurance: "For the first time In the history of the country, not in the arrogant and insulting spirit in which the words are ordinarily used, but In the spirit of reverent piety, Ireland breathes the prayer, 'God Save the King.' Irish Justice comes from tne heart, Eng lish justice of the governing class kind, like Its American prototype, cornea from the belly. Why don't they hang the man who cheered the news of Metheun's defeat on the floor of Parliament and banish the privies of Lynch who elected him to Par liament? Has their boasted courage gone to seed, or are they afflicted with judicious indigestion? Who cares to waste paper discussing Lynch's right under the treaty of peace with the other burghers, mediaeval ex patriation, and the Instigations of the devil?
