The steamer left New York last night
for New Haven on her regular run,
carrying a heavy complement of freight
and 10 passengers, beside bar crew of
21 men.
To the stormlness of the season alone
is due the small passenger Hat. as the
Olen Island was ' a popular boat for
sound travelers and undo ordinary cir
cumstances would have kad scores in
stead eft a mere dosen travelers In her
keeping.
What started the fire Is unknown, but
it was discovered when the steamer
foralua its way post
o'clock and about three mile off shore.
It was at once seen that nothing ceuld
be done to save her. as the wind at the
time was blowing a gsl and tha Ire
floes In the sound prevented any speed
toward the shore. The fire broke out
smldshlp in the main deck.-
Two boats were lowered at onre, Cap
tain McAllister taking charge, and the
pasaengers were called out into the
chilling night.
A remarkable display or discipline
aa riven, the crew calmly assisting the
pasaengers to embark and lowering away
the boats. The men who lost their lives
made no scramble for place and In some
cases requested others to precede them.
Eight passengers and 14 men of the
crew were safely embarked and the
third boat was 'being lowered away
when, with a roar like that of an ex
plosion, the flames buret forth and swept
aft over the entire deck, enveloping
those left behind. ,

stesmer was so great that all efforts on
the part Of those in the boats to reach
them availed nothing and the waters
soon claimed them.
The lifeboats cruised aa close as pos
sible to the burning vessel for sn hour
and a half In the hops of saving some
of the victims, but not one of those
left behind was rescued.
With great effort and much exposure
the two boatloads of survivors then
tried to make their way through the
Ice to land. They were finally picked
vtb by the tug Bully and transfsrred to
the steamer Corning, which camo down
the aound a short time after and took
them back to New York. .

WARRANTS EXTORTED ,
BY CITY OFFICIAL
No Denial Is Made of Allegations
Against County Assessor
Elect and Grand Jury Is
Investigating Them.
Charges sgalnst B. D. Siglar. coun
cilman from the fifth ward and county
assessor-elect, are being heard today by
tha grand Jury. Ferdinand Jopltn, of
Ufeblsch A Joplln, contractors, who is
the chief witness, claims that Slgler
forced him to sign over three warrants
to him amounting to $112. under threat
that unless he complied the councilman
would ruin his business. He states thai
Slgler used his position and Influence as
councilman to extort the orders for the
warrants.
J opl In 'a statements are verified by
Anton Qleblsch and City Engineer El
liott. The warrants are also a mat
tar of record In the offices of tha city
auditor and city treasurer, showing they
were cashed by B. D. Slgler. Two are
for work on East Salmon street, amount
ing to SX.2'4 and $16.13. and were
drawn October II. 190$. The other war
rant, for $200, was for work on ITnlon
avenue and was drawn September 1$,
1104.
"I did not owe Councilman Slgler any
money whatever," said Mr. Joplln, "but
I did owe his father a small aum. It
was on a debt contracted about u
years ago. 1 borrowed $260 to buy two
horses and gave him note,
f rtve In Osmt a Month
'i was to pay Interest at the rate of
for many months, and alao paid some
thing on the principal. He refused to
give me any receipts for my payments,
saying It was against his custom.
"Hard times came and three of the
horses died and the other I traded.
The note ran along, and 1 was unable
to make more payments until It . was
outlawed, although I always Intended
settling the bill ss soon aa I was able.
"While aieblsch and I were laying
out the Holladay Park tract old man
Slgler csme to me and told me I owed j
him $1S$ on the note. 1 had no record.
of what 1 had paid and took his word
for it.
"I had no money at that time, aa all
I had was tied up In our business, and
I told him that when I received some
money on my work I woultl settle tha
claim. He wanted my note, but 1 told
him It would be all right.
"The next thing 1 heard of the matter
he had turned the claim over to A. M.
Shannon, the office clerk In the city
engineer's office. I went to see Shan-
non. and he told me the claim had been
left there to eoliect.
The mstter ran along for some time.
Our work became tied up and we could
not get any assessments through, and
it was impossible for us to get sny J
money. We were in nam lines, ana i
went to Assistant Engineer Scoggln snd
he told me that the acceptance had
been turned in. I could not locate the
cause of the trouble.

could not get anything that was coming
to us from the city. Finally they told

ler waa the one who was holding up the
work on account of the debt he claimed

"1 went to Slgler, and he admitted

Judge George Decides That
Poolrooms Are Public
Nuisances.
OVERRULES DEMURRER
OFFERED FOR NEASE
Court Characterizes Business as
Temptation to Idleness, and
Knocks Last Prop from
Under Violators.
I
In sn opinion filed this morning Judge
Oeorge declared valid the criminal In
dictment against M. O. Nease for eon
ducting the Warwick poolroom In defi
ance of the Oregon public nulssnce stat
ute. The court held that the "Inherent
tendency of gaming houses is to create
a common nuisance and annoy all good
cltlsens." and. "even though there be no
actual disturbance, the tendency of such
a place la to disturb the public peace."
Judge Oeorge submitted a written
opinion and discussed the case at length,
going to the common law and laying a
foundation for a Judicial argument, the
conclusion of which constitutes a body
blow to poolroom owners. Inasmuch as
the fact of operating the poolroom was
not denied, the opinion aeems fb have
wept the ground from, beneath the feet
of the horse race gamblers and effectu
ally puts an end to the business in tha
city of Portland.
The opinion was on a demurrer filed
by John M. Gearln and E. B. Watson,
counsel for M. O. Neaee. lessee of the
Warwick poolroom. The district attor
ney. Henry B. McGinn, aa "Amicus Cu
riae," argued the demurrer for the state
of Oregon.
The defense held tliat though the pool
room might be Injurious to public mor

The court overrules the demurrer snd
hold, that if any of the three elements
be present the Indictment Is sufficient,
and then lays down ths proposition that
a poolroom or any gaming House has In
herent tendencies thst stamp It aa a

The decision of Judge George follows:

New York, Dec. 17. Wanted, a person
who can tell Just what the relations are
between Lawson and the Standard Oll
Amalgamated - Oreene combination. A
Urge reward will be given to such a
person.
This would make a very good adver
tisement, and It would also be a proper
one for almost every broker In the coun
try, as well aa every speculator, would
give large sums of money to know truly
where Thomas W. Lawson stands.
To the Initiated It can easily be seen
that whenever Lawson say. there 1. go
ing to be a slump, there alway. Is a,
alump. Some one Is buying all thl.
great mass of stocks thrown upon the
market when the decline occurs. But
who?
To some It seems a settled fact that
Lawson la benefited by every downward
movement, a. hia b rowers are aaid to
have been buying Amalgamated at cer
tain Intervals. Although there ia a
great hurrah by both sides, the general
public Is not tsking so much stock In
either faction's utterances, as can be
seen by the smallness of the total sales
during the past few days.
"Bot Idais, Baa Oood Fellows. "
The friendly meeting between Thomas
hotal has thrown more mystery upon
the subject. Lawson Is hardly saying a
word now, but his followers believe that,
he has something lip his sleeve whu h
he will spring all of a sudden before
the opening of Mondsy's session.
In regard to the meeting with Law
son yesterday. Colonel Greene has little
to say. He is back in New York today,
after what lis say. waa a moat Inter

His only remark outside of this waa:
"Everything between Mr Lawson and
myself Is now smoothed out. Lawson
and I found that neither one hi us
were liars, but good fellows."
