HA! SAYS THE NEWS AND THEN PROCEEDS TO TALK DEEP SEA WISDOM. Declare Antorlan Story a Sea Lawyer' lale but Proof I Lacking. OoubtlM attuated by a desire to defend an erring fellow-countryman, the editor of the Daily New tukes It noon himself to abuse the Astyrlan for publishing the statement made by John Klebe, one of the men of the. jJrltlsh mp County of Linlithgow. The News neck to ridicule the statement of Kleh:. at the jme time renting ttfc Asioiian reporter for "being taken In." The Astonun has no apology tot make t the Dally News or its ahle marine dltii for the publication of Klebes slaienieni. Whether or not the story w-j true, the fact remain that Cap tain Htoark ru nude no attempt lo itenv It. and. a the New editor evi dently did not see the skipper, at leaal i.oi not quote him, he certainly must h:ive r)?.?n actuated by some unfath omible motive In thus rushing to the .u feiise of a man who made no effort whatever to protect himself. According to the News, scantling In stead of Ixiards I used to store oil cargoes. Here I a display of Ignor ance that I surprising, coming frum one whj proffer unlimited advice. Hcantling I not us-d to Miore oil, but n-ivy soiftlng board are employed for that purpose.- However thit may havt been, the fact remains that the ship w:h not properly provided with shift ing hoard, and the men were compell ed to use the 'tween deck hatches In stead. These hatches, according to Kl-b-'s sUt'Moent. were about t'i feu in length and -'Vj feet wide. They Just feachvd the stanchions and tne men were able to utilize? them to great ad vantage. The Astorian laid stress on th? point In KU-be's statement lhat the b.illasl wa ,iol prop-rly placed aboard, and when the N-ws undertake to deny the stat -m-nt lhat the sand was in three heap it does not present any counter siat-menu regarding the matter. As toriarm are pretty well acquainted at this time Aith the peril of seafaring nvn who sail under Incompetent or careless captains. and the loss of several fine vessvls on account of the shifting of tn it hallast has brought home to lic.iri to.- truth of the oft-repeated state ment that many sailors' lives are al ways In danger from, this cause. If the Linlithgow wai C'Y ballatd, why didn't the News get a statement from Cantiln Stoark to that eff-ct? The Astorian reporter who wrote the story is not a deep sea sailor, nor has he had the experience on big vessels that has eviJently been the good for tune of the gentleman who chortles with glee ov-?r a misapplication of a technical nautical term. The Astorian r.'pouer'a occasional trips to Portland h ive been made by train. Otherwise he mUht have been betttr posted. The As: rl.m confesses that its re porters use of technical terms may have been erroneous In one or two Instan ces. For Instance, the reference to the vessel's fxp-rience before she went onto h r bem ends was hardly as accurate as Kl-bs related it. Klebe told the re porter that, after the main lower top iijII w.i b carried away a circumstance, by the way, which was due to the fail ure of Captain Stoark to use proper roppg in miking fast his canvass the raouln became "rattled" and excitedly save orders to cut loose the fore lower l-ruil and mlxxen lower topsail. He likewise, according to Klebe. gave the orders to hove the vessel to. but the loss of his topsails made this Impossible as canvass is required to bring a vessel up to the wind. Instead of bringing her head on. Stoark succeeded in put tin1 the ship In the trough of the sea, her-; she floundered helplessly, her bal ast shifting and her lee scuppers being submerged. Any man with a knowi eJtre of maritime mattters would know that the vessel could not have bien on hor beam ends and hove to at the same time, and the editor of the Nnvs pla ces himself in a ridiculous light In seek ing to puncture Klebe's story on the Astorian's technical error In the use of the nautical expression. The News tries to 'create the belief that the weather was very severe when he firit sail was carried away. As a matter of Tct. the weather was hard iy stormy, though the velocity of the wind was great enough to snap the ropes sent up by the captain from the storeroom. The Astorian did not say that all the lee-yar is were In the water hut. quite to the contrary, stat ed that the vessel's yards were in the sei. The inference was plain that the main yard was referred to. It Is announced by the prophet of the evening sheet that the seamen could not work In the vessel's hold for an hour, much less for seventy-two. but there is no denying the fact that the vessel was on her beam ends and that the ballast was eventually, after more than 72 hours' work, righted and the ship placed on an even keel. The Astorian made no charges against Captain Spark. H gave the statement of Klebi? as to why he and his com panions deserted the ship. If Captain C. W.

The following is from the Telegram of yesterday: 'tiene'al regret i experienced In this city over the alleged determination of Master Fish Warden H. O. Van Dusen to make his headquarters at Astoria. While Astoria is the home of Mr. Van Dustn, and the enter of great fishing and canning activity during the open reasons, the interests of the Ashing In dustry of the Upper Columbia. Willam ette, Clackamas and southern coast str ams require that Mr. Van Dusen's office be located in Portland, It la ar gued. Portland, by reason of her trans portations facilities, 18 better situated f." r th location of the fish warden's "dice than any other City In the t4tl For this rason. It Is contended, the of fice should not be removed from Port land. "Even for hi own convenience. It Is believed that Mr. Van Dusen will find it more to hi advantage to make his base of operation In Portland, and It is hoped that he will yet reconsider his intention of remaining in Astoria, as indicated by the dispatch from Sa lem." Mr. Van Dusen' candidacy was en dorsed by local commercial bodies, mer chants and representatives of the fish ing industry with the understanding that- the office was to be In Astoria. the master warden has himself in dicated that such were his intentions the invitation of the Telegram is de clined, with thank9.

Merchant Will it Asked to Con. tribute Small Amount to the . Project Each Month. At a meeting of the Woman' Club yesterday the proposed Hoys' Assembly wa discussed and the member of the committee appointed to solicit fund made it.i report. Owing to the fact that three of the six members of the t ommlttee were unable to aollclt con tributions since their appointment no deilnlte plan, were adopted and a more complete report will he made at the rext meeting. The members of the club wish cor rected an erroneouii impr-sslon thai liu gone abroad concerning the object of the proposed club for boys and young nun. It will not be a gymnasium pri marily a many have been led to be ll'.v but the first object will be to provide a reading room and assembly where the young men can spend their evenings surrounded by wholesome in fluences. Hooks, magaxlne and period icals will be provided and also game end social diversion of the harmless sort. Ultimately a gymnasium will be equipped if the necessary funds can be seemed. But the first point the mem bers of the Woman Club are desirous of obtaining Is to establish a place wherj young men and boys who desire to Improve their minds and remain out of saloons and other haunts of dissipa tion and vice may meet. The amount the club wants to raise is small cniderlng the worthiness of the use to be made of It. Fifty citizen pledging one dollar a month will guar antee exnmse for the nmslaar Koirln. ning planned. The sum is not only small but being payable once a month will not be missed. Several teacher in the public schools have signified their willlpgntss to hold night classes for instruction in the elementary stu dies. Particular attention will be giv en to this branch of the work, for which there exists great necessity. In the larger cities night school are maintained by th' municipality and the course of study is as extensive as in the day sessions. The members of the soliciting committee are Mesdames Lewi3, Oearhart, Mayo, Stewart. Este. Berry and Grvenousr., to any of whom nledges may be snt or to any other members of the Woman's Club. 4 REDUCED THE FORCE. Thirty Men Employed on the Jetty Laid Oft Yesterday.
