THE MORNING OREGOXIAN, FRIDAY, APRIL 15, 1904. S IfEfifl SUES SHIP Gunner's Mate on Mis souriShows His Metal. OWN LIFE IS NEARLY LOST Jumps Into' Magazine Closes the Door. and 600 MEN OWE HIM GREAT DEBT Two Seamen Succumb to Their In juries -- Funeral Services for Seventeen of Victims Are Held at "Washington. PENSACOLA, Fla., April 14. That the newest battleship of the Navy, the 2kIlssourl, had a narrow escape from be ing blown to pieces by the explosion of a magazine and also beached, came to light today. Captain William Cowles prevented the latter when the vessel was within 350 yards of the beach by giving orders that the ship's course be changed. Chief Gunner's Mate Monson saved the ship, and the lives of over GOO men by Jumping into the ope I maga zine and closing1 the door behind him. It is stated, although not by officers of the Missouri, that when the officers heard the explosion in the turret and saw the fire lapping through the top they realised that the magazine would next explode, and headed the ship for the beach, intending to beach her, if possible, before the explosion. Captain Cowles quickly stopped the plan and put the ship back to sea. "When the ilrst explosion occurred the men in the handling-room knew in an Instant what had occurred. The big magazine door was open and standing against it were four charges of powder. Without a moment's hesitation Gunner's Mate Monson shoved these aside, and jump ing into the magazine pulled the door to after him. The magazine was totally flooded with water, and when the men opened the door they found Monson barely all'e, the water having reached to his neck. Damage Greater Than Reported. The damage to the battleship is much greater than was stated at first. In addition to the large amount of ammu nition ruined by the magazine being flooded, which will amount to thous ands of dollars, the after-turret is badly injured, the top being burned away and all brass work melted inside. The hoist Is a charred mass and the mech anism of the guns is completely ruined. The estimated damage caused .by the ! explosion will reach $50,000. The total list of dead now numbers 32, one man having expired last night and two today. It is hardly probable that other deaths will occur. O. B, Moe, apprentice, second class; J. F. Knight, seaman: J. L. Donnelly, ordi nary seaman, were added to the death list. The funeral of 17 of the seamen occurred this afternoon, and each ship of the fleet was represented, fully 5000 men being present, while thousands of persons from the city were in attend ance, every place of business being closed for the afternoon and flags on all buildings placed at half mast. The bodies of the officers and eight of the ship's men were shipped to their former homes tonight, and the others are being held to await advices from relatives. The bodies interred this afternoon will be disinterred and shipped to their friends. The Missourt will not con clude her target practice, but will go to New Tork to be dpcked as soon as the court of Inquiry makes its find ings. The President has contributed the sum of 5100 and the Secretary -of the Navy a like sum as the nucleus of a fund for the relief of the dependent next of kin of the enlisted men who lost their lives in the Missouri disaster. The money has been placed in the hands of Paymaster-General Harris, U. S. N., chief of the bureau of supplies and accounts, who has been con stituted the custodian of the fund and who will disburse it under the direction of the bureau of navigation for the benefit of euch dependents. Paymaster-General Harris has been au thorized to receive any other contributions that may be made for this purpose. Secretary Moody today sent the follow ing telegram to Rear-Admiral Barker, at Pensacola, Commander-in-Chief of the North Atlantic fleet: "I learn with pro found sorrow of the Irreparable loss to your fleet, the Navy and the country of the faithful and gallant officers and men who met death while in the discharge of their duties. Will you convey to the fleet my deepest sympathy?" The President accompanied his check lor $100 with the following letter to Sec retary Moody: My Dear Mr. Secretary: May I send, through 30U, this contribution to be used for the de pendent kinsfolk of the enlisted men who have just been killed on board the Missouri. Under the conditions of modern -warfare. In order efficiently to prepare for war, risk roust be run similar In kind, though not to the degree of rtek run in battle, and these men hae died for their country as much as If the ship had been In action against the enemy. Sincerely 3 ours, THEODORE ROOSEVELT The President also has sent the follow ing telegram to Rear-Admiral Barker: "Am inexpressibly grieved and shocked at the terrible catastrophe. I desire to express to you and the officers and men under you my profound grief and sym pathy." Guns Were Fired Slowly. It is learned from unofficial Informa tion that previous to the accident there had been no flame blown back whatever; that the firing of all of the Missouri's guns had been, relatively, very slow, in lact, only half as rapid as that of the Ala bama's. The turret roof was not injured, but one man was blown overboard from the turret top. Officials at the Navy Department were just remarking the excellent reports that were coming from the fleet at target practice, and noted with great satisfac tion that the practice in marksmanship had not been attended with an atcldent, when they were appalled by the report of the disaster which overtook the Missouri. The reports from Pensacola have been carefully read, and It is manifest that the subject of gunners will receive the 'grav est consideration In view of the fatality that has resulted from the firing of the big guns. Wounded Who Died. WASHINGTON, April 14. The following bulletin regarding thhe disaster on the battleship Missouri was posted at the Navy Department today: The following wounded have died: JOHN T. DONNELLY, ordinary seaman. ORVEL B. MOE, apprentice, second class. The following additional have been reported as dead: JAMES E. KNIGHT, ordinary seaman. HALBERT EDWARD ELLIOTT, master-at-arms, second class.

HERBERT SCHELBARTH, landsman. POWERS EXPRESS SYMPATHY. Roosevelt Receives Messages From Leading Nations. WASHINGTON. April 14.

Count Casslnl, the Russian Ambassador, has sent a letter to President Roosevelt expressing his regret and sympathy for the accident on the Missouri.

N., a similar tele gram having been sent to the families of each of the officers and enlisted men who lost their lives in the Missouri explosion: "The President directs me to convey to you his sympathy In your bereavement In the death of your husband, while In the faithful discharge of his duty. Permit me at the same time to express my own sym pathy and to assure you that you have that of the entire Navy. "WILLIAM H. MOODY, Secretary." SAYS HE WAENED BENSON. Ex-Clerk in Land Office Testifies He Wired Him to Expect Investigation. SAN FRANCISCO, April 14. In the Hyde-Dlmond land investigation today the first witness called was Woodford D. Har lan, at one time head of the forest re serve division of the General Land Office. He testified he had been paid "a reason able sum" by Benson for his aid In se curing titles 4o public lands. He had sent Benson information regarding reserve lands, which he afterwards had pro claimed, and for this service he had re ceived about J100. After a conversation with Benson about a number of small reserves In Arizona, he had received $50. In all he got about 51100 from Benson. Harlan testified Special Agent Burns was detailed last Fall to Investigate ir regularities In the Land Office, and that when questioned by the official, Harlan denied knowledge of any illegal practices. After his interview with Burns, Harlan said he telegraphed to John A. Benson, warning him of the investigation. Later Harlan made a complete confession to the Secretary of the Interior and Mr. Burns. Then Burns planned to open up a cor respondence with Benson through Harlan, the object being to learn of Benson's as sociates. A number of letters were written by Harlan at the dictation of Burns, but Benson, Instead of writing, started for Washington immediately. Harlan said he had some talks with Benson, and after one of them the latter left $200 In the bath room for the -witness In May, 1502, Ben son said to Harlan that he had an agent In Washington who had desk room In the office of Brltton & Gray, land agents, and that he wanted Harlan to meet him. Harlan declined,, saying that he desired to do business with one man only. This testimony has bearing on the evidence of ex-Chief Examiner Valk. who testified that DImond came to him in 1901 with a letter from Benson declaring that the bearer could be trusted. Charles A. Johnson, who was formerly an office boy in the employ of F. A. Hyde, was the next witness. Ho corroborated the testimony of the stenographers. John son said that he freauently carried as high as 40 affidavits at one time to neigh boring notaries to be attested. The affi davits had been signed in blank and filed In the office and descriptions of land in serted when needed. Johnson took the documents to the notary and without the signers being present the documents were given natatorial acknowledgment and seal.

The 14 men named by the bolting conven tion will go to St Louis and contest the seats of tho men selected at th regular convention. Tho preliminary session of the regu lar convention was a very quiet one. All those not delegates had been ex cluded from the hall on the plea that there was only room for the delegates, and the small minority of Hearst dele gates alleged they had been denied their rights In the matter of tickets. At the noon recess the committee on credentials heard the contesting dele gates from Camden, Atlantic.

Ridge way, of Brooklyn, and Representative W. Bourke Cockran, of New York. The se lection of Congressman Cockran Is due. It Is said, to Tammany Leader Charles F. Murphy's desire that In case of need Mr. Cockran's long parliamentary experi ence and his oratorical ability should be available on the floor of the National con vention. Mr. Murphy and State Senator McCarren will go as district delegates. Mr. Rldgeway, who Is to be one of the delegates at large, is the selection vf Senator McCarren, who prefers to be National committeeman, in place of Nor man E. Mack.

Declares for Jeffersonlan Principles and Against Free Silver. WALLA WALLA. Wash., April 14. (Special.) Ex-Senator George Turner, of Spokane, tonight predicted Democratic success in the approaching National elec tion, provided the party adopted concilia tory , measures and used sane Judgment. His address before the Jeffersonlan bau queters. 200 In number, was replete with features. Judge Turner 'frankly con fessed the death of the silver Issue in these words: "I believe there is just as much cause to insert the ten commandments in the next Democratic platform as to put in a clause on free coinage of silver. Everyone knows vgoId has taken Its place and that silver has ceased to be a vital issue. Therefore the effect of urging silver on the people would be to drive Democratic votes away. It is not good policy to wave the red rag at our friends." Judge Turner opined there would be llt- FIRST AGENCY BUTTERICK SHEETS AND DELINEATORS HERE.
