WILL ilTilNEL PILOTS TO MARE AN'N'CAIi EX AMINATION" OF RIVER. Soundings to Be Made Next Week, and Charts Based on Re sults of Work, i The annual survey of the Willamette and Columbia Rivers between Portland and Astoria, for the purpose of charting for their own use the shoal spots in the channel, will be undertaken by the Columbia River pilots next week. The survey will probably be begun next Monday. The present season is the most slack time of the year for the pilots and If press of business does not prevent a party of them will leave Port land then on one of the Port of Port land's boats to undertake ths work. If the Port cannot lend them a boat, some other steamer will be secured. To com plete the survey will take about a week. Among the pilots who are likely to make the trip are Captain Archie Pease. Cap tain Harry Emkln and Captain W. H. Patterson. The pilots will go carefully over every part of the channel where shoals usually form following the June freshet. For most of the distance between this city and Astoria the river is quite free from these obstructions, it Is said, this year, but at a number of points sand bars have been reported. The Portland dredge Is now working on such a shoal near the mouth of the Willamette. ArrlTats and Departures. PORTLAND. Aug. 11 Arrived Steamer Alliance, from Coos Bay.

MAY CLEAR HIM OF SUICIDE Family Will Be Satisfied With Re moving Stigma and Laying of Body In Holy Ground. Court-Martial Likely; OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash ington, Aug. 12. The dispatch of a staff correspondent .at Annapolis to the Wash ington Star today says: The defendant parties are thoroughly satisfied with the situation. They feel that no evidence whatever tending to show that anybody but Sutton did the shooting has been laid before the court. While they are sure, most of them, that Sutton Intended to kill himsalf, they frankly admit the testimony . shows rea sonable doubt of such Intention on his part. Whether Sutton killed himself In tentionally or while attempting to shoot one of the men holding him down, or to shoot Adams, standing behind him, can not be determined. "That Mrs. Sutton would be content with the wiping out of the suicide theory became apparent, while Mrs. Parker was on the stand, by questions asked her by Mr. Travis. He dwelt at length upon the religious phases of the case and the fact that Sutton's body must lie forever out of consecrated ground as long as ths stigma, of suicide rested upon his memory. Let a competent court decide that Sutton was not a suicide and suicide Is here defined as Intentional self-destruction and his family may remove his remains from Arlington and place them In their family lot in Portland. Mrs. Sutton may take up the thread of her life secure In the knowledge, according to her faith, that her son's soul is not forever lost, as she now believes the soul of every suicide must be. 6CTTON EVIDENCE IS ALL IV Attorneys Will Sum Tp and Then Board Will Make Report. ANNAPOLIS. Md., Aug. 13. The court of inquiry that ii investigating the death of Lieutenant James N. Sutton on Octo ber 13, 1907, finished the taking of testi mony today, .it was stated by counsel that arguments would bo completed to morrow. The court will then prepare its report and forward It to the Navy De partment. Major Leonard, Jncge-Advocate, fur nished a surprise today when he stated that he would make no opening address in behalf of the Government unless some thing should be said by the other attor neys that would .require explanation or reply. The cross-examination of Dr. E. M. Ehaeffer, of Washington, called as an ex pert in gunshot wounds, was finished to day. Hypothetical questions figured largely In his examinations by Mr. Blrney, coun sel to Lieutenant Adams. Although Adams was again called upon to illustrate the movements of Sutton as he lay pros trate on the ground on the fatal night. Dr. Shaeffer's conclusion was that under the conditions given Lieutenant Sutton could not have shot himself. Northwestern People In East, NEW YORK. Aug. 1!. (Special.)

WIFE SUES DEAD ODD MISTAKE MADE BY CALI FORNIA WOMAN. Names First Husband as Defendant, in Divorce Salt When She Means Second. SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 12. William M. Melton, six years dead, was sued for di vorce by his former wife through a mis take that has no parallel in the history of the Superior Court of this state. The mis take was discovered today by the plain tiff when she appeared to take a Judg ment by default. Some months ago Mrs. Clymens Roileri went to her attorney and charged her husband with Idleness and neglect. Inad vertently she referred to herself as Mrs. William M. Melton, and the defendant was so named in the complaint subse quently filed. But Mr. Melton, the wo man's first husband, was dead, and in reciting her wrongs and charges she had In mind Willam L. Roileri, her second husband. The complaint showed the date of the second marriage in conjunction with the name of her first husband. Mrs. Roller Is now obliged to file a new complaint and await the usual terra for a default Judgment. SWEETS ARE NECESSARY But they should be of absolute purity. Pearce's candles are of guaranteed pur ity. Royal Bakery, Wash, and Park. Court-Ma rtlal May Follow. "What the result of the Inquiry will be Is a matter of pure conjecture. It la not impossible that a court-martial will fol low and that the several officers Involved will have to answer to charges of various sorts. That they will be held guiltless of the death of Sutton at most goes without saying, in the light of the testi mony offered in court. But they may be caught up for other offenses to which they confessed." Agents for Fay Hosiery for Children MAIL ORDERS PROMPTLY FILLED Agents for Henderson's Corsets. REMEMBER SILVERFD2LD S FURS.
