SEATTLE, Wash., May 18. Bring
ing captain Charles Foos and the
crew or tne codfishing schooner .Tor-
eph Russ, wrecked on Chirikof Island1
April isi, tne steamship Bertha, of the
Alaska Coast Company, arrived in Se
attle tnis afternoon.
Giving a graphic description of the
storm which resulted in the loss of
the schooner and the death of John
Jorgensen, the vessel's first mate,
members of the crew of the Russ de
clared that only for the heroism of A.
E. Reeves (Scotty) second mate, and
five sailors, who went to Chignik in
two open boats for assistance, all
would have perished.
In a teriffic gale, with heavy seas
breaking over her, the Russ was driv
en ashore at 6 o'clock in the evening.
Grounding on the sand she held her
own for several hours, but finally, as
the heavy seas continued to pound
her, the vessel hatches gave way and
she quickly filled with water. Captain
Foss and 34 members of the crew had
cimbed high in the masts and lashed
themselves to the rigging to prevent
being carried away by the giant
waves.
First Mate Jorgensen had started
for the main mast to take refuge when
a wave hurled him against the side
of the vessel. His skull was crushed.
Here they hung until 6 a. m. when
the storm subsided and the tide left
the Russ high and dry.
Jorgensen was buried far up on the
sandy beach and a wooden cross
marks the grave.
Captain Foss and his crew built a
hut of pine boards and in this they
stored the small amount of provisions
saved and established sleeping quar
ters. It was when the provisions began
to run low and they realized that
Chirikof Island is uninhabited that Ses
ond Mate Reeves and five members of
the crew volunteered to put out in
two open boats for Chignik, 110 miles
distant, for assistance.
They were fortunate enough to ar
rive at that port before the departure
of the mail steamer Dora, which im
mediately proceeded to the rescue.
When the Dora arrived on the beach,
warmed by a driftwood fire, but scant
ily sheltered, were the 30 men.
PASTOR-SLAVER OF
bustujn. May 18. C. V. T. Rich-
eson, awaiting execution for the mur
der of Avis Linnell, collapsed at noon
today in another fit of hystria in the
aeatn cell at Charlestown prison.
Richeson appeared calm and collect
ed in tne deatn cell early today and
nis nystena was a surprise. The con-
aemned man slept from midnight until
8 ociock tnis morning.
Dr. btedman or the Rev. Herberts.
Johnson will be constantly at Hiche-
son s side until the time of his electro
cution. The murderer's attack of hys
teria resembled those -from which he
suffered while preaching at Hyannis.
When the Rev. Johnson arrived in
his cell, Richeson glared at him
breathing irregularly, and refused to
speak.
The prison physician was summon
ed and declared the prisoner was in
a state of semi-coma, due to extreme
rear of death.
Remember
Graduation
Day
Look back to the day when you
were stirred with the pleasure
and enthusiasm of Graduation
Day. Think of what it meant
to you. Remember how you
treasured and cherished Moth
er's Graduation Gift Then
think what it means or might
mean to your daughter. The
graduation gift should be some
thing distinctly "personal" It
may be serviceable, if you like.
But above everything else it
should be of really lasting qual
ity. We shall be glad to help
you in the selection of a worthj
and appropriate gift for

In less than three weeks either Miss
Ruby McCord, Joseph Sheahan, Kent
Wilson, John Brown, John Weber,
John Haleston or A. G. Kindler will
be spinning along the beautiful coun
try roads in a brand new touring car
one of the best made. Which one it
will be the Contest Manager will not
even hazard a guess.- But he does
hope that the machine which will be
given away by the Morning and
Weekly Enterprise is won by the most
deserving candidate, and he- confident
ly believes it will be. Up to date Miss
McCord, in his opinion, has been the
hardest worker,-but he really does not
actually know, for . the others may
have thousands of ballots held in re
serve. : That she has been the bold
est there is no question for she has
handed in thousands of votes weekly,
and has set the pace almost from the
start. She declares she is confident
or winning. But otners are just as
confident. Sheahan told the Contest
Manager Saturday that he had the car
already won.
"I am going to win sure," said the
enterprising High School athlete. "I
do not intend to expose my plan of
campaign, but I am confident that it
will land the machine. I expect to
work harder from now on than ever
before, and my friends will rally to
my support."
Sheahan's confidence is supported
by his achievements of the past, and
there is every reason to believe that
he will at least win the second prize
if he does not capture the automo
bile. And the other candidates are
just as confident of success as he.
The race promises to be a pretty one
and the prizes will go to the most de
serving. CLARK CANNOT WIN
ON FIRST BALLOT
WASHINGTON, May 18. With
more than two-thirds of the delegates

tion 'elected, control of the Baltimore

first ballot, even though great strides
are made for the respective candi
dates in the conventions and primar
ies still to be held. The Democratic
convention will consist of 1094 dele
gates. Under the two-thirds rule ap
plying to Presidential nominations,
729 votes will be necessary for any
candidate who secures the nomination

am streets in future. With this ob
ject in view Ex-councilman Bnrk, a
few weeks ago .obtained samples of

GOLF IS CALLED
ENEMY TO CHURCH
LOUISVILLE, May 18. "One hun
dred thousand caddies are kept from
Sunday school by golf," according to
tho report prepared by the committee
on Sabbath observance for presenta
tion to the 124th general -assembly of
the Northern Presbyterian church to
day. "Sunday sports blight' charac
ter," continues the report. "Nine
tenths of those who enter prison start
ed that way by Sabbath breaking.
largely due to Sunday sport."
Recommendations of the commit
tee, of which James Yearance, of New
York, is chairman, provides that the
assembly reiterate its -"strong and em
phatic disapproval of all secular uses
of the Sabbath, all games and soprts
in civic life, as also in the Army and
Navy; all unnecessary traveling and
all excursions, and urge upon employ
ers of labor and captains of industry
to recognize the laboring man's needs
of his weekly rest day and thereby in
sure his greater efficiency and happi
ness, and the greater prosperity, of
both capital and labor."
The committee turns the spotlight
on Washington, severely scoring the
capital for "continued and increasing
laxity in Sabbath observation."

fused to play today because their fel
low member, Ty Cobb, had been sus
pended for slugging a spectator who
hurled insults at him from the New
York bleachers,' gave no indications of
weakening. All of them were heartily
in sympathy with the fleetfooted Geor
gian and they assured him again to
night that they would be with him
until he "received justice" at the
hands of President Ban Johnson, of
the American league.
Hughey Jennings said tonight that
he had washed his hands of the en
tire matter.
"I put a team on the field today,"
he said, "to save the owners of the
Detroit franchise from being fined
$5000. It is now up to President John
son of the league and President Navin
of the Dertoit club to settle with the
'strikers.' I do not intend to take
sides one way or the other.
"You can say this much for me.
There will be a club professional
club of some sort-on the field at Shibe
park Monday. I do not know that we
can get together anything like a for
midable outfit, "but I will do my best."

DR. FORD TO SPEAK
IN FORUM TONIGHT
Much interest has been manifested
in the open forum pulpit discussions
Sunday evenings in the First Metho
dist Episcopal church. The first ser
ies of discussions participated in by
lawyers, teachers and business men
has closed, and Dr. Ford, the pastor
of the church, and promoter of the
open forum pulpit idea, will speak this
evening on "Impressions of the Ad
dresses delivered in the Open Forum
Pulpit." Judge Campbell will preside.
The address of the pastor is looked
forward to as one of special interest

who have heard the speakers from
timee to time. Dr. Ford etxends a
special invitation to the men who
have appeared in his pulpit in re
sponse to his request, and to the gen
eral public. He promises to speak
with great frankness, for he says he
believes in a modern church for mod
ern men, in a system of faith so sim
ple that a child may understand it,
and so free from dogma that men of
modern minds can accept it.

In a speech delivered at Cedar Brook
before the Farmers' Grange Saturday,
George C. Browriell scored single tax
opposed the abolition of capital pun
ishment, opposed the state issuing
bonds for road purposes, favored equal
suffrage, and declared that as many
bridges should be built in the county
I as are necessary. Mr. Brownell op
j posed the creation of useless commis
sions, and declared that the nation
should work for the establishment of
universal peace. He said that entire
' single tax theory was wrong, and he
! was confident the people of this coun
ty would not favor it. Mr. Brownell
i spoke at the Grange picnic which was

AS I. W. W. FOES
SACRAMENTO, Cal., May 18. Col
onel Harris Weinstock, special com
missioner appointed by Governor
Johnson to investigate the San Diego
"free speech" fight, now being wag
ed by the Industrial Workers of the
World, finds in" his report, made pub
lic today, that the "vigilantes" have
been guilty of more culpable offenses
than the Industrial Workers, and rec
ommends the prosecution of the form
er. The Governor is counseling with the
Attorney-General's office over the ad
visability of interfering, as recom
mended by the commissioner and hav
ing the state prosecute th vigilantes
of San Diego, as the commissioner de
clares the District Attorney of San
Diego will 'not do his duty. The re
port, a voluminous document indicates
that, while the Industrial Workers or
the World constitute a lawless class,
growing out of European conditions
and imported from Europe, the vigil
antes who punished the Industrial
Workers were guilty of greater
wrongs than they; that the right
of free speech has been trampled up
on, and that the Industrial Workers
of the World disturbances have crys
tallized the growing problem of an
archistic doctrine, which demands
immediate and careful legislation.
Commissioner Weinstock finds from
their own lips and from the literature
given to him by members of the In
dustrial Workers of the world, tnat
they teach and preach the following
doctrines:
A That workmen are to use any
and all tactics that will get the re
sults sought with the least possible
expenditure of time and energy.
B The question of ngnt or wrong
is not to be considered.
C The avenging sword is to be
unsheathed with all hearts resolved
on victory or death.
D The workman is to help nimseir
when the proper time comes. . "
E No agreement with an employer
of labor is to be considered by the
worker as sacred or inviolable.
F The worker is to produce infer
ior goods "and kill time in getting
tools repaired and in attending to re
pair work; all bya silent understand
ing. ,
G The worker is to look forward to
the day when he will confiscate the
factories and drive out the owners.
H The worker is to get ready to
cause National industrial paralysis,
with the view to confiscating all in
dustries, meanwhile taking forcible
possession of all things that he may,
need.
