Virginia Judge Held to Have

KNOX WILL SO INFORM HIM
Order Rcstrninins the.Launcnine of
tlie Galvcttton. Is Expected to Be
Revoked and Serious Trou
ble Averted.
The Government does not propose to
allow the injunction secured by the
creditors of the builders of the cruiser
Galveston to delay the launching of the
ship. If necessary, no attention will be
paid to the order. Tho Cabinet has de
cided that the Virginia Judge exceeded
his proper functions, and It is believed
when he Is made to see his error he Kill
reverse his order.
Secretary of the Navy Moody asked
for authority to call out troops to pro
ceed with the launching, but the Cabi-
net decided It -was inexpedient to pre
cipitate that question at this time.
WASHINGTON, June 19. The time of
the Cabinet meeting today was practically
consumed by the consideration of the
legal questions involved-In the decision
pf the United Stages. .Government to dls"
Tegard the' decision of the court of Vir
ginia and seize the uncompleted gunboat
Garveston at the Trigg shipyards, in Rich
mond. Attorney-General Knox presented
a carefully prepared opinion) on the sub
ject, strongly affirming the right of the
Government to disregard the injunction
granted yesterday in the Virginia court,
which forbids the resumption of work on
the Galveston, pending a settlement of
the. claim of the subcontractors, who have
not been paid for material furnished. In
concluding his opinion, the Attorney-General
says:
"One further point remains to be con
sidered. The letter of the Secretary of
the Navy requests authority to em
ploy, if necessary, the military forces of
the Government at his disposal for the
execution of his orders in the premises.
I am loath to believe that occasion for
such exertion of the Federal powers will
arise, being confident that any claim to
interfere with the National rights under
the judicial authority of the State of Vir
ginia will be promptly disposed of and
denied by the Chancery "Court. For this
reason I shall defer answering that ques
tion." Moody's Action Is Approved.
The Cabinet, after considering this
opinion, unanimously decided that the
Government case was sound and the pro
gramme outlined yesterday by Moody
should jbe pursued. An effort will be
made to' launch the boat next Monday, if
conditions permit. It Is intimated that
Information will be conveyed to the Vir
ginia Justice who granted the injunction
in this case that he has exceeded his
proper functions, and it is expected that
he will withdraw from what the Attorney
General and the President regard as an
untenable position, thus avoiding any
clash at Richmond.
By the President and members of the
Cabinet the action taken at the meeting
Is regarded as of the highest importance.
Tho question raised is new and almost
unique. Both the President and his ad
visers gave it tho most careful considera
tion. It is understod that the opinion of
Attorrrey-General Knox, as submitted
originally to the President and Cabinet,
was modified slightly before it was made
public. It was stated yesterday on excel
lent authority that the Attorney-General
In his opinion upheld the right of the
Secretary of the Navy to use force, if
necessary, to carry Into effect his orders.
It was regarded by the Cabinet, it is said.
to be inexpedient to precipitate that ques
tion at this time as it was believed to be
entirely probable that a way would be
found to adjust amicably the apparent
differences between the State Court of
Chancery and the authority of the Gov
ernment. Power of the Government
In the opinion, addressed to the Presi
dent, Attorney-General Knox says that
the letter of Secretary Moody raises the
question of the right and power of the
United States to take immediate and
complete possession for all purposes of
vessels of the United States In course of
completion under contracts with ship
builders, when there has been a breach of
contract with the latter. Mr. Knox con
tinues:
"The right of a party in ordinary liti
gation to a release of property from at
tachment, upon giving a bond for In
demnity, is fundamental. It manifestly
applies with greater forco and reason in
a case affecting the Government than
where the interests of private litigants
alone are Involved. The statute of lSot
enables the Government, although not a
party, nor in general subject to be made
such, to Intervene without prejudice and
invoke that doctrine.
"The nature and necessltltes of the sub
ject, .the sovereign claims and the In
tercst, the object to be gained. In the
words of the statute and its reservations.
all convince me beyond doubt- that the
stipulation to be entered into is an en
gagement on. behalf of the United States,
which shall be addressed to and filed Kritk
the particular court, under proper re
serve of submission to the jurisdiction,
whereupon discharge of the property as
a matter of course would follow, and ad
verse claimants would hare the oppor
tunity of establishing, in accordance with
the law, their respective claim against
the bond of indemnity thus provided."
MOODY NOW WAITS ON KNOX.
His Next Step Will Be oa the Advice
of the Attorney-General.
WASHINGTON, June 19. Except to
announce that "the Galveston matter is
In the hands of the Attorney-General,
and nothing on the matter will be said
at the State Department," Secretary
Moody declined to discuss today's Cabi
net meeting, or the probable action of
the Department in view of the revised
opinion of Attorney-General Knox. The
modification of the Attorney-General' s
opinion, which. In Its unrevised form, al
ready had been communicated to Sec
retary Moody, somewhat disarranges for
the moment the programme of the De
partment as to a show of force. The
President thinks a show of force under
the circumstances will be Inexpedient,
and the Navy Department, therefore,
must content Itself awaiting the advice
of the Department of Justice in the mat
ter. Meanwhile, it has instructed Its
agents at Richmond not to interfere with
the order of the court until specifically
instructed by the Department.
Secretary Moody today requested the
Attorney-General to Instruct the proper
District Attorney to enter into a stipu
lation regarding the cruiser Chattanooga,
which has been attached by creditors of
the New York Shipbuilding Company, that
the government's rights may be ade
quately protected. As for the other 12
warships contracted for by the com
panies composing the United States Ship
building combine, the Navy Department,
while apprehensive of the results of the
financial embarrassments of the con
cern, has not been informed that work
on any of the vessels has been inter
rupted as yet, and for the present Sec
retary Moody can take no action.

people, heretofore absorbed only in the
recovery of the dead, were awakened to
the necessity of immediate and radical
measures of sanitation.
"Unless," said the doctor, "prompt and

than were destroyed by the flood. Here
every collar is 'full of foul water and mud,

THE VERY REV. HERBERT VAUGHAN.
LONDON, June 20. The Very Hev. Herbert Vaughan, cardinal and

away the heaps of mud, while others were
hauling into town and spreading wagon
loads of a novel kind of disinfectant,
namely, alkali soil.
"I have used it in Pendelton," said Dr.
Smith, "and no better disinfectant could
be desired, for these, alkali beds are made
up almost entirely of Caustic potash and
soda. Disinfectants? Why, we have hun
dreds of tons here at our door."
Much of the volunteer labor, such a3
that of farmers and other people in the
neighborhood, is petering out through
fatigue or the pressure of personal affairs.
Early yesterday a dispatch was sent to
Pendleton for 100 day laborers. Mr.
Campbell, of Milton, was Instructed to se
cure another hundred, if possible, from
Milton and various other Eastern Oregon
towns. Temporary volunteer help is no
longer expected, but what is needed- is a
small army of laboring men of good char
acter who will be properly paid, fed and
housed. A call was also sent out for 23
women volunteers to take the places of
many here who have been serving at the
eating places or caring for the dead and
who are about exhausted.
Women Feed and House Survivors.
The ladies' relief committee, Mrs. Mary
K. Britten, chairman, is making arrange
ments for temporary homes for the house
less and destitute families. Tents are being
erected near he Courthouse and supplied
as rapidly as possible with stoves, cook
ing utensils and bedding. This committee
has been giving- from 300 to 400 meals- a
day to the needy and is supplying them
with clothing as fast as they apply.
It Is now estimated that on aggregate of
S100.000 insurance was carried in the vari
ous companies and orders by the flood vic
tims. Case of Utter Depravity.
A case of exceptional depravity occur
ring here the other day was the act of
Katio TJtley, a woman of tho town. She
decoyed and attempted to detain In a
house of ill-fame a young woman left des
titute by the flood. The Utley woman was
promptly detected by the owner, who res
cued the girl and thrust the woman into
the street. The owner then informfid Of
ficer P. C. Crlswell, advising the latter
strongly not to bother with the creature
but to shoot her. The officer locked her
in tho city jail, and an hour later tho
woman's man picked the lock of the jail
and the two were last seen driving rapidly
toward lone. They may go to Portland.
The woman Is described as dark, large and
-with a slow, waddling walk, of coarse ap
pearance and language, and about 38 to 40
years of age. She was the only woman of
her class here who failed to respond to the
call for aid. The others promptly went to

morgue and others at the eating places as
cooks and waiters.
TRAINS GO IN TODAY.
Railroad Connection With Heppner
to Be Restored.
: LEXINGTON- Or... June U. (Special.)-! ,
Fast time has Been made by the O. R- &
N. Railway In replacing Its track Into
Heppner. The company will havo the
line ready for traffic Saturday morning.
By 10 o'clock, said Superintendent J. P.
O'Brien tonight, the construction train
will enter Heppner. Three hundred men
have been employed relaying the track
since Tuesday afternoon.
The work has been handicapped in
number of ways, but has been fast. Four
bridges had to be made anew, and seven
had to be repaired. These bridges are
built on piles, the driving of which takes
considerable time, and tonight a gap of
S00 feet in the track separates the con
struction train from Heppner. Superin
tendent O'Brien and General Roadmaster
W. Bollons are in charge of the track
work. Chief Engineer W. H. Kennedy
has directed the bridge work. M. J.
Buckley, assistant superintendent, and
W. A. Storlo, general foreman t of the
bridge and building department, aro in
charge- of the train service. These gen
tlemen have worked very hard since the
flood interrupted the service between lone
and Heppner last Sunday. Night and
day they have stuck to the task, and will
be glad to get home again. About 394
miles of track have had to be renewed.
At some places the old track has been re-

BY A. CROFTON.
LEXINGTON, Or., June 19. (Staff cor
respondence.) The number of corpses in
Willow Creek Valley which are yet un
round may be estimated from the fact
that in searching less than a mile of tho
canyon the relief parties from Baker City,
Sumpter and lone found six bodies in
seven hours' work. The bridge crews of
the O. R. & N. Co., although not looking
for bodies, unearthed four while clearing
away debris from the culverts. At thl3
rate there must be moro than 50 dead
still in the wreckage.
Among the bodies recovered today was
that of W. It. Sailing, Assessor of Morrow-
County, whoso wife was also
drowned. The corpse was found amid a
mass of hailstones, which had preserved
it from decay. It was lying face down
ward in the debris, about three miles be
low Heppner. Another body was that of
a Chinaman for whoso discovery his coun
trymen in. Heppner had offered a reward,
of J20O. This money will be turned over
by the Baker City relief party to tho gen
eral relief fund.
Preserved by tie Hail.
Near the Chinaman was found the
corpse of Mrs. Gurdane, wife of Hepp
ner"s City Marshal. Mrs. .Gurdane3 body
had been stripped of all clothing, but tho
body was well preserved. Mr. Gurdane,
who has ever since the disaster worked
heroically at tho labor of caring for both,
the living and the dead, broke down when
the body was brought in. For many
days and nights he had labored while his
wife was numbered among the missing
dead. Now' that tho body Is found, Mr.
Gurdane realizes his loss.
Today the first systematic effort was
mado to search the valley for bodies.
Much, amazement was -expressed at tho
unexpected magnitude of the task, as
there has been little idea that the piles of
wreckage were so extensive. Altogether
about 100 men from the volunteer relief
parties were engaged at this work today.
They will continue it tomorrow, after
which it is probable that they will return
to their homes, and the work will then ,
be abandoned, except when the location of
a corpse is Indicated by arising odors. Tho
three relief parties working in the valley
are sensibly equipped with pitchforks,
grappling irons and teams.
Just below tho point where the relief
parties wero working, John Connors, a
foreman for the O. R. & N. Co., found a
ten-gallon keg of whisky near the rail
road track. Under his direction, a gang
of 30 Greek tracklayers were working in
the vicinity. The Greeks saw Connors
pick up the keg. and, with much de
light, started toward him. To avoid trou
ble, Connors kicked in the head of tho
keg, and tho liquid poured out on the al
kali soli to invigorate the sagebrush. A
chorus of grief arose from tho crowd of
foreigners, who much desired to get
drunk. While some of them protested
vehemently to Connors agalpst this com
pulsory temperance, others threw them
selves flat on the ground and lapped up
the whisky that remained. One man put
a handful of tho wet sand in his mouth
and sucked it, but, with one exception,
the gang remained, though most reluc
tantly, exceedingly sober. This episode
was also the means of detaining M. J.
Buckley, the assistant superintendent of
the railroad company, in this vicinity. Mr.
Buckley had just received a telegram
from an Intimate friend urging him to
come to Portland immediately. He was
on the point of starting when word was
brought to him that all the tracklaying
crews up the line were drunk. Mr. Buck
ley immediately went to the scene of the
supposed trouble, only to discover that tha
report was false,
"You wouldn't expect," said Superin
tendent O'Brien, "that the Italian oectton
hands would be sentimental, but when
they found the bodies of a little girl and a
woman In the wreckage on the track soma
of tho husky laborers cried like children.
After that they would scarcely stick a
pick into tho debris they were clearing
away for fear it should stick into a
corpse."
Land Declines In Value.
Land in the valley has depreciated in
value about $10 an acre. "My farm,"
