Governor Rogers ol Washington Will Not In

Seattle, Wash., Aug. 15. A signed
statement from Governor Rogers ap
peared in tho Times as follows:
"Olympia, Wash., Aug. 1C, 1001.
Editor Tho Times: A recent edi
torial item in your paper rcgauling
tho Nordstrom casp causes mo to say
that under no circumstancos will I
Interfere with tho judgment of tho
courts in this case. As I view it, a
crisis has arisen in tho stato affairs
in which the question is raised wheth
er murder is to bo punished in Wash
ington, or whether tho law is to 1)0
mado an instrument of jugglery for
courts and lawyers.
"In England or Canada, whatever
wo may think of their forms of gov
ernment, criminal law is enforced and
lynching is unknown.
"In Whitman county, of this state,
according to Judgo McDonald, o "tint!
county, BOtno 30 mimics and lynch
ings altogether hhvo taken plncu with
only 0110 legal hanging, this latter
within tho last three years. Other
counties have records not paiticularly
flattering to our ideas of justice.
"Only recently tho legislature was
called in extra session for tho solo
purpose of removing obstacles which
I was advised might allow certain
murderers to escape, and thus bring
our administration of law into re
newed contempt. Tills purpose hav
ing been effected, I shall certiuly add
no now complications.
"Tho judgment)! tlio court will
stand.

Tho smuggling sohomo is outlined
as follows: Lumber ladon vessols
leave Pugct sound for Southern Cali
fornia points, and after gotting well
out to sea run over to Vancouvor
island aud pick up Chincso, who aro
ostensibly shipped us part of the crow.
Some of theso vessels put in at Port
Harford, San Pedro and other points
witli orows moro than twico as largo
as necessary. When sailing for the
north tho crows consist almost ex
clusively of whito sailors.
Another method adopted is tho
landing of Chincso on 0110 of tho
islands in the channol.and they aro
then brought into Santa Barbara as
abnlono fishermen. Just what dis
coveries havo been mado by tho ofil
cent of tho reveni 0 cuttor are not

formation by tho local ollicers and
aro now following up clows fur

said that tho evidence has been ob
tained that opium has also been
smuggled into Southern California.

FIRE OUT IN THE LAKE.
Twelve or Thirteen Lives Lost as the Result
Others Rescued by Tugs.
Clovolaud, Augj. 10 Fivo men wcro
burned to death, four woro drowned,
thrco and possibly four woro suffocat
ed and several woro injured as tho re
sult of a firo which destroyed a tem
porary water works orib two miles off
tho Cleveland harbor yesterday.
Twenty-six mon obeyed tho ordor
of Manager G. C. Vunduscn when tho
flames broko out and took rcfugo in
tho water on floating pieces of wreck
age Four of them lost their holds
upon their frail floats and sank be
neath tho waves just as help reached
their comrades.
Tho crow of tho tug R. Spronklo
heard tho fire whlstlo blown from tho
crib and raced to tho bcciio from tho
harbor. She picked up 18 of tho sur
vivors who had drifted to tho west of
tho orib on thoir floats of board and
wreckage.
Tho crib is a total loss. It was a
frame building, 200x50 feet, the sides
sheathed with iron. It is now
charred, shapeless mass of wreckage,
and mingled with tho blackened tim
bers aro hlackoncd, rusted and twisted
pieces of plates of iron and steel.
Tho crib and machinery wcro tho
property woro of Shailor fc Bohncing
iau, contractors. Thoir loss will ex
ceed $200,000.
Firo and harbor tugs with rcsouing
parties on board reached tho crib
soon after tho flames broko out, but
when they arrived tho structure wan
a soothing mass of flames aud all
hope of saving it was abandoned,
After an hour's hard work tho
flames woro diminished enough to
permit tho firemen to climb up tho
charred stops and light tho firo from
tho interior. Then tho horror of tho
calamity was first realized. Every
thing was a total wrcok, Whilo tho
flromou woro pouring water on tho
flames tiioro was a roaring furnaco
beneath which could not ho reached.
After two hours of hard work fivo
charred bodies, burned beyond recog
nition, woro found.
Whilo this was going on strenuous
efforts were being put forth to reach
tho men imprisoned in tho tunnel,
whoso air supply had apparently been
shut off entirely by tho burning of
tho machinery. At tho mouth of
tho shaft it was liko a furnaco, and
tho iron work was red hot from tho
flumes. Tho water that was thrown
on it turned it into steam at once.
Finally after a dolugo of wator had
been thrown on tho smouldering
shaft entrance, a voice was hoard
from tho bottom calling for help. A
rope was dropped down tho shaft,
aud slowly and carefully tho man at
the bottom was raised. In quick sue
cession six others woro brought up
from tho foul and stifling air of tho
tunnel. All wero in a pitublo condi
tion. They reported tliut two othor
men woro lying unconscious at tho
bottom of tho shaft. A workman vol
unteered to rescue these mon, aud ho
was quickly lowered into tho shaft.
In u few moments tho unconscious
men wero brought up moro dead than
ulivo.
Tho tunnel, which has boon tindor
course of construction for several
years, and is still far from complete,
has been tho cause, all told, of tho
loss of more than 30 lives,
