about Senator Aldrich having told him
that President Taft would do any

"Were Senator Aldrlrh's words so
plain that you could not be mis
taken?" Insisted Marble.

Most of the HO passengers are East

The most meager newa of the wreck
has been received. The wireless op

Irregularly until this sfternoon. when
the ship was probably abandoned. She
Is not exposed to storm and probably
will be raised and repaired at large
cost. The Spokane carried no freight.
At latest advices the Spokane, lay
with hurricane deck awash. The boat
was valued at S400.0UO. and was the
finest ship on the Alaska run.
The scene of the wreck was near the
place where the steamship Cottage
City foundered on January 11. last.
The Cottage City was a total loss, but
all hands were saved. Plumper Bay Is
i:5 miles north of Vancouver.
Shores High and Rocky.
Seymour Narrows la a narrow strait
wo miles long and only J cables
wide, contracted to two cables by Ripple
Rock, lying in midstream at the south
ern end. '
The shores are high, rugged and
steep. JUpple Rock has caused several
accidents, the worst being the loss of
a United States warship many years
ago. The North-going stream sets di
rectly toward the rock, and the tides
are very strong.
riumper Bay, where the Spokane is
beached, lies north of the narrows, and
steamers frequently wait there for the
turn of the tide.
The Spokane, under Captain Ouptill.
struck at 11 o'clock last night and was
so badly damaged that when she was
floated oft It became necessary to beach
the vessel in Plumper Bay. near Cape
Mudge. The nrst news of the steamer
was flashed here from the steamship
Prince George, which was standing by
the Spokane, and stated that two of
the passengers were missing, but the
remainder bad reached the shore in the
lifeboats.
Damage Believed Heavy to Vessel.
The extent of Injuries the Spokane
has sustained cannot be ascertained, but
undoubtedly must be severely dam
aged, or It would not have been neces
sary to beach her.
Vancouver Wireless Operator James,
stationed at Point Orey, sent -word to
Vancouver at 2:15 P. M. that he had

NEW YORK, June 30. The Federal
Indictment against nine wire pools,
several of which have been out of

The wire manufacturers will appear
for pleading July 5, when the criminal

latter company and other corporations
and partnerships in the alleged wire
pools. His only comment was:
"I know nothing about the action
and therefore have nothing to say of
it. All I can say is that I know no
reason for the Indictments against tba
companies."

Mrs. Calkins was formerly Mrs.

"Divorces in this state are easy, al

allows a person to secure -a divorce on

an advantage over this state is that
residence there is only six months,
