GIVING UP ITS DEAD
East River Swells Total of
Steamer Slocum Victims.
NINETY BODIES COME ASHORE
Coroner Begins His Inquiry Into the
Disaster Two Members of the
Crew Declare No Fire Drill
Was Ever Held.
KEW YORK, June 20. The list ot those
who perished on the General Slocurn Is
growing at an ' alarming rate. Bodies
came to the surface today off the shores
of North Brother Island singly and in
groups of twos and threes, until at dusk
93 additional bodies had been recovered.
Every passing steamer seemed to churn
up the water to such a degree that with
its wash one or more bodies would be
swept onto the beach. Between the hours
of 3 and 6 o'clock in the afternoon 45
bodies, some of them badly mutilated,
were taken ashore by beaching parties.
This brings the total number of bodies
up to 725, and yet there are something
like 300 persons unaccounted for. A num
ber of those are among the unidentified at
the Morgue and over on North Brother
Island and the unrecognizable that have
been burled In the Lutheran Cemetery on
Long Island.
Coroner Begins Inquiry.
The Coroner's Inquiry Into the disaster
was begun today. Thousands of persons
gathered In and around the Armory, in
the borough of The Bronx, where the in
quest was held.
President Barnaby, of the Knickerbock
er Steamboat Company, owner of the
General Slocum, was the first witness,
and from him It was learned that the ac
tual operation, of the steamer was under
Captain Vanschaick. who received his In
structions from Captain Pease. On ap
plication of the latter, he said an inspec
tion of the Slocum was made by the
United States authorities before she was
put in commission this year, saying: "It
was reported to us that the Slocum was
in thorough good order and working con
dition." The certificate of a United States in
spector was placed in evidence. It certi
fied that. May 7. 1304. the General Slocum,
was In good condition to carry 2500 pas
sengers, and that it, had aboard 2555 life
preservers.
Asked if the ledgers would not show
how many life-preservers were bought for
the Slocum since she was built in 1891,
Mr. Barnaby said he was not sure that
all the ledgers could be found.
Mr. Barnaby said he had Instructed
Captain Vanschaick at the opening of the
season to put the Slocum In first-class
condition, and spare no expense. "We
spent $12,000 on the repairs."
He said the company estimated the boat
was worth $165,000,. and carried $70,000 in
surance. According to the testimony of John J.
Coakley, one of the SlocunVs deckhands,
he never had been given Instruction as to
a fire drill since he became an employe
of tho Knickerbocker Company at the be
ginning of last season. Coakley said he
first learned that the boat was on fire
when a small boy called his attention to
the smoke rolling down from the bow.
He was below, and could not tell exactly
where the boat was at that time. Coak
ley said he ran up toward the bow of the
steamer and found a blaze in the locker
where the oil for the lamps was kept.
He dumped charcoal on It, hoping to
smother the flames, then cut down the
hose and called for assistance.
Heat Drove Them Out.
The fire was so hot that he and those
who came to help him were driven out of
the locker, but they got the hose In posi
tion, and had just directed a stream on
tho fire when the hose burst No attempt
was made to replace the ruined hose, he
said, as the passengers were in a panic,
and made It almost Impossible for the
men to do anything. They could not
reach the other standplpe back near the
stern of the steamer. When the members
of the crew found it impossible to control
the lire, they turned their attention to
tho passengers.
Coakley said he took down many life
preservers and distributed them among
the women and children. So far as he
could see, all the preservers were In good
condition. It was impossible to reach any
of the llfcrafts. because of the panic, but
one of the lifeboats was lowered. The
boats were so surrounded by struggling
people thnt the crew could not get at
them. The boat which they succeeded in
clearing, and which was filled with wom
en and children, capsized while it was
being lowered from the davits.
The witness was unable to give any In
formation as to the origin of the fire.
Tho room in which it started was lighted
by a common lamp when in use, but he
was sure the lamp was not lighted when
he found the blaze. He remembered that
a quantity of hay packed around a bar
rel of beer glasses brought on board that
day had been stored In the locker. He
supposed It was a custom for the men to
light matches In the lockers when they
wanted to find anything there.
Testimony of the Mate.
Edward Flanagan, the mate for the last
two seasons of the Slocum, who hired
the deck crew, said that the forward
cnbln. where the fire broke out, was used
tnr trn-tn nlrt linos anil wnrnnut jYrnInir
and brooms. Henad one barrel of sperm
oil there, and there were some empty
barrels that had contained oil.
Flanagan satd that, as soon as he was
aware of the fire, he notified the Captain,
calling up the tube: " e re all afire for
ward." "What answer did you get?"
"I did not wait for any answer. I went
to the engineers and asked them to give
me water."
"Had you given any orders up to that
time to man the lifeboats?
"Not up to that time."
"What orders did you give your men?"
"None up to that time. "When-1 got
back from the engineers, I manned the
pipes. Then, when the water pressure
came, a coupler blew off and the pipe
burst. I then ordered some of the men
upstairs to free the life-preservers and
lower lifeboats. Then we tried to reach
the other standplpes, but wo could not
pass the flames."
Flanagan said he was present when the
special Inspection-took place.
At this point the Coroner ordered In
spectors Fleming and Lundberg to leave
the courtroom.
Flanagan, however, said he did not ac
company the inspectors on their rounds.
He knew, he said, that 10 or 20 of the
life-preservers were ordered down by one
of the inspectors. He declared all the
preservers were stamped 1891.
To United States District Attorney "Wise
Flanagan said he had no license as either
master or mate. His duties were to take
charge of the deck crew.
"Did you ever have a fire drill?" asked
Mr. Wise.
Remembers No Fire Drill.
Flanagan placed his hands on his fore
head and then replied:
"Not to my memory. I did not keep
track."
"Have you ever seen the fire hose un
coiled since the season opened?"
"Not to my memory. I don't recall 1L
I have been very sick." -
Flanagan said he never counted the life
preservers aboard, but he was confident
that more than the 2500 called for were
aboard, and within easy reach of the pas

sengers. In his opinion, the life-preservers
were in first-class condition.
Adjourned until tomorrow.
A crushing blow fell upon Albert K.
Rail, an Ivory and pearl lnlayer, when
he reached his home at MiddlevHlage, L.
I., and learned that his entire family. In
cluding his wife and two children, had
gone on the Slocum excursion and had
been lost. He had been at work at his
trade at Newport. R. I., and did not know
until he returned home today that his
family went on the Ill-fated excursion.
A resident of Jersey City, named Work
man, who lost two daughters and a son.
In the disaster, returned home last night
after having visited the scene of the dis
aster, and, after attending memorial serv
ices during the day, blew out his brains
with a revolver.

arrangement faultless. The performance
Itself indicated the great pains to which
the management has been to secure the
finest talent upon the vaudeville stage.
Nor was one of the most Important
features of a playhouse overlooked. The

Hallett & Davis, one of the
choicest makes carried by Eilers Piano
House, and a great favorite everywhere.
It Is an eloquent tribute lo Ellers Piano

THE OREGONIAN ARTIST .TAKES A GLANCE THROUGH PIONEER, HEADQUARTERS
Mrs. S. S. Mnnson, formerly Miss Sophia

PLY .FOR BADGES.
Preparations for Annual Reunion Are
Progressing Apace-Fair Grounds
Free to Members.
Up to 6 o'clock last evening 300 pioneers
had secured badges for the annual meet
ing from Secretary HImes, at pioneer
headquarters. Historical Society rooms.
City Hall, and they averaged 67 years of
age.
The preparations for the banquet by the
Woman's Auxiliary are progressing most
satisfactorily. All the ladles and their
assistants In charge of tables, booths and
reserves will kindly report at the Armory
not later than 3 P. M. today, to
set tables, and on tomorrow morning not
later than 9 o'clock, to decorate the same.
All food should be sent to the Armory
on Wednesday morning as soon after
8:30 as possible. All willing to assist by
giving flowers, flags, etc, for .decorations
should send in their contributions at an
early hour tomorrow. Each flag should
be properly marked so that there may be
no error made In returning it to its right-
iui owner, xne contrioutions ot rood
pledged have been very liberal, "but In
meats a little more is needed, particular
ly in hams.
Again t.ie secretary would urge resi
dent pioneers to secure their badges dur
ing the forenoon of today, so that the
crush incident to delaying until afternoon
or tomorrow morning, when pioneers
from the interior begin to arrive, may be
avoided.
The relics of early days, and the photo
graphs of pioneers In the Historical So
ciety rooms, and also the City Museum
on the third floor, are very attractive to
the visiting pioneers.
By the kindness of Director-General
Goode, of the Lewis and Clark Exposi
tion management, all pioneers and In
dian War veterans wearing badges will
be admitted to the Exposition grounds
without expense today, tomorrow and
next day. Pioneers should take advan
tage, of this opportunity, so that they
may see that earnest work Is In progress
In preparing for the great event of next
year. It is probable that tae next re
union will be held on the Exposition
grounds.
Many Inquiries have been made of the
secretary regarding admission to the pub
lic exercises at the Armory. To set the
mted of tvery one at ease respecting this
matter he can only repeat what was said
last Sunday morning. Badges for 1S04
must be secured.
Badges for any other year will not be
honored. Children or young people will
not he ptrmltted to wear badges, or to
attend the reunion. This Is for pioneers
and only pioneers. The badges are not
transferable, and should a badge be
found In ,the possession of any young
person It will not be honored. No one
under 45 years of age has any right to
wear a badge under any circumstances.
To do so Is simply an imposition, and
suc'i steps as may be necessary will be
taken to prevent It. This is a meetfng
of pioneers exclusively, and to admit
those who aro not pioneers interferes
with their enjoyment.
No badges will be issued to pioneers
who are not members of the association.
Conditions of membership will be stated
by the secretary upon application.
A pioneer having a wife or husband
who is not a pidneer can secure all the
privileges of the reunion by calling upon
the secretary of the association for a
special admission ticket. No one will be
admitted to the Armory without a badge
or ticket.
There will be a business meeting in the
evening, beginning at 7:30. This will last
about half an hour. After that the re
mainder of the evening will be open to
everybody. The full programme of the
day will be published tomorrow morning.
All aged pioneers who need carriages to
bring them Ho the meeting should inform
the secretary, telephone Main 1944, before

That's the way old Captain Charlie
Frush wrote it down yesterday at the
headquarters of the Oregon Historical So
ciety in the City HalL Then he trans
lated it freely as follows:
"Today lots of oldtlmers come to our
town to get their badges and meet friends
and gather at the Armory where they will
have something good to eat, and where
M. S.. Grlswold, well-known old man
of letters. '
there will be laughter and talk and much
friendly greeting."
All day yesterday venerable pioneers
sauntered slowly about the headquarters,
securing their badge?, swapping old. sto
ries and commenting on the many odd,
but to them, more or less familiar objects
in the Museum.
Often the greetings were given jovially
in Chinook.
"Klah-hl-am?" (How do you do?);
"Koh mica chaco okoke Illahee?" (When
did you come here?); "Hlas ancutty"
(Long time ago), etc
"There's a lot of Chinook that you can't
write," remarked Captain Frush. "You
can't spell It. Many years ago one Glbbs,
a learned professor, was sent out to this
region to study and gather samples of
the languages. He traveled about picking
up a few sentences here and there until
he came to old man Byrney, who kept
the Hudson Bay Company post at Kath
lamet. " 'I'll give you some Chinook that you
can't spell,' said the old man. The pro
fessor was Incredulous, then Byrney gave
him this:"
(Mr. Frush emitted a few strange
"clucks" and "clicks," that sound as
though he were trying to talk with a
Burbank potato in his mouth, then
screwed up his face in an awful contor
tion, winding up with a whistle.)
"That reminds me of the dispatch Sher
idan sent Senator Nesmith in '61," said
Secretary George H. Himes after the
laughter subsided. "It was dated from
the battlefield of City Point, Va., and
read:
" 'Nesmith: Mica Chaco copa Mema
loose lllohee, momook hyu lum.
SHERIDAN.'
"Now Sheridan and the Oregon Senator
were both Democrats, and when that dis
patch came through the War Office, old
Secretary Stanton, who was a suspicious
man, thought he smelled treason in a
cipher dispatch. It resisted all attempts
to unravel It until at last It was handed
to a certain clerk In one of the depart
ments. That clerk was an Oregonlan,
and when he read the dispatch he smiled.
Stanton and other officials crowded
around him as he repeated aloud the
translation:
" 'Nesmith: You are invited to the bat
tlefield. Bring plenty of ' good whisky.' "
Two old gentlemen who had never met
before paused to read the date on the
other's badge.
"Fifty-three," ejaculated both in uni
son. "You crossed in '53."
"So did I."
"Where was you on the Fourth of
July?"
"I was at Fort Barony" (Larannl).
"So was I I was on the north side of
the river."
"Well, well, I was on the south side."
"When did I come to Oregon?" shouted
sturdy old Captain Tom Mountain. "July
18, 1S41, sir 1S41 I came barefoot, bare
headed, bare-backed and"
"You must a been born here at that
rate; he! he I" chuckled a wrinkled and
gray bystander. Captain Tom straightened
up. bringing his heels together after the
fashion a man never forgets who has
"seen service."
"No, sir; I was on the United States
sloop-o'-war Peacock, n got wrecked, off
where the lighthouse is, below Astoria,
same place where that schooner-load o"
lumber went to pieces a while ago. I
landed at Astoria July 23, 1S41, 'n mighty
glad was I to get my feet on Oregon
terre flrma. I'm 82 years old and two
months and I've been In Oregon a long
time, though I was all through the wars.
Got that cut at the Battle of Palo Alto
In IS"
"What's that? No, I didn't have to
cross the plains to get here I swum part
way ha! ha!"
"Yes, we were wrecked near the mouth
of the Columbia. After a while the Gov
ernment got the ship Thomas Perkins
from the Hudson Bay Company and we
took her up to Vancouver and turned her
into a man-o'-war to sail home in. We
called her the Oregon, and to think of
her and then look at the new Oregon
helps me to realize how the world has
moved in half- a century.
Then Captain Tom walked into the Mu
seum of the Historical Society to show a
friend the beautiful -model of the United
States steamship Corwln which he bad
made and presented to the society.
Two pioneers who came in 1S45 met in
the Historical Society rooms yesterday
for the first time In 50 years. One was
Captain James H. McMillen, of this city:
the other was Mrs. Elisabeth T'Vault
Kenney, of Jacksonville. One day In Ore
gon City, about 1S50, when Mrs. Kenney
was a sprightly, handsome young wo
man, and was appareled in her best, she
started to call upon some young trlends,
and accidentally slipped and fell prone- to
the earth no pavements in Oregon City
then much to the damage of her best
garments. Up she sprang, and as Mr.
McMillen was the only gentleman near
by. she said: "Please, sir, what will you
take to swear for me?" This was one of
the reminders. There were "others."

BOTH SIDES BOUND TO WIN
TROUBLE IN THE GRAND-AVENUE
UNITED PRESBYTERIAN.
Opponents of the Rev. J. H. Gibson
Are Determined to Make Him
Resign as Pastor.
Opponents of the Rev. J. H. Gibson, D.
D., of the Grand-Avenue United Presby
terian Church, have taken a new tack In
their movement against the pastor, stat
ing that they will withdraw their mem
bership and support on the first of July,
if he does not resign. At that time Dr.
Gibson will enter on another year ac
cording to his assignment by the Home
Mission Board. W. E. Spicer and about
25 other members have signed a with
drawal letter, which will be sent to the
moderator of the Oregon Presbytery and
the Home Mission Society today.
The complications surrounding this af
fair are remarkable, and the outcome
can" only be conjectured. First, the
presbyterj' supports the pastor against
the opposition of the elders In the Port
land meeting, but at the session at Oak
vllle, that body swings clear around and
not only dismisses the pastor, but ordera
the church disorganized. On the heels
of all this the Home Mission Society ap- i
beginning next July. Now comes this last
movement on the" part of a considerable
number to withdraw their support entirely
from the church and pastor and
thus reduce the revenues to a minimum
by splitting the membership. Through all
these complications and ramifications of
ecclesiastic law, agreements have several
times been signed by the parties to the
row and peace declared for the good of
the church, only to be,broken soon after
wards and war resumed fiercer than ever.
It is claimed by those who have signed
the withdrawal letter that the reappoint
ment of Dr. Gibson pastor for another
year from July 1. by the Home Mission
Board,, had a string to it and that he
was not expected to accept it. However,
Dr. Gibson Is staying right along and
preaching every Spnday from the same
pulpit and expects to remain during the
coming year.
"How can he remain when we withdraw
support?" said one who had signed the
withdrawal letter. "Besides the church is
disorganized."
"It will be ajl right for the disturbing
element to get out. We'll have peace
then and a prosperous church," " says a
member on the other side.
GRAND CABIN DISSOLVES.
Will Be Superseded by Organization
Admitting Men as Members.
At the sixth annual meeting of the
Grand Cabin, Natives Daughters of Ore
gon, held yesterday in Dunnfng's Hall,
East Sixth and Alder streets, it was decid
ed to drop the present organization and
next September form a cabin that will In
clude men as members. The hall was
attractively decorated for the occasion
with the colors of the cabin purple and
gold. During the morning session Mrs.
Julia A. Gault, president, delivered her
address to the delegates. Among other
things Mrs. Gault recommended that the
constitution be so changed as to admit
native sons as well as native daughters.
The president also spoke of the Lewis and
Clark Fair and urged participation by the
women in the state in making it a suc
cess. At noon lunch was served to
the delegates.
In the matter of the proposed new or
ganization it was decided to take It up
next September. The membership will
then Include native daughters, native
sons, husbands of "native daughters and
wives of native sons. Mrs. Gault, presi
dent; Past President Mrs. Welch and Mrs.
Mary KuykendaU were presented with
handsome pins by the Grand Cabin.
The present officers hold over until the
new organization is formed. The session
closed In the afternoon, and last evening
the delegates were treated to a trolley
car ride and shown the beauties of Port
land.

THE STORY OF
Amalgamated Copper
A PERSONAL WORD BY THOMAS W. LAWS ON AND A
STATEMENT BY THE PUBLISHERS OP
rax
The Personal Word by Mr. Lawson
Personally I know that one hundred millions of dollars were
lost, thirty men committed suicide, and twenty previously reputable
citizens went to the penitentiary, directly because of Amalgamated.
It was largely because of my efforts that the foundation of
Amalgamated was successfully laid. It was created because of my
work. It was because of what I stood for, because I had the public's
confidence, and because my promises had. been kept that the plain
people invested two hundred million dollars of their savings, and it
was because of trickery and broken promises that the public lost the
enormous sums they did.
My motives for writing the Story of Amalgamated are mani
fold : I have unwittingly been made the instrument by which thou
sands upon thousands of investors in America and Europe have been
plundered. I wish them to know my position as to the past, that
they may acquit me of intentional wrong-doing; as to the present,
that they may know that I am doing all in my power to right the
wrongs that have been committed; and as to the future, thatjiey
may see how I propose to compel restitution.
J THOMAS W. LAWSON. ,
A Statement by the Publishers of
Everybody's Magazine.
In the articles by Mr. Lawson, beginning in the July number,
under the caption of "Frenzied Finance, The Story of Amalga
mated," we have a narrative from Mr. Lawson 's own lips, how, in
the last few years, he has seen millions of dollars won without right,
and thousands of men- ruined. It is a story of financial tragedy of
today. .
In the great financial happenings of recent years story tellers
have given their version ; political economists their theories ; reform
ers their pictures ; and historians their tablets. For the first time in
the history of High Finance we have the High Priest tell it as it hap
pened and it is for Everybody's Magazine to publish "the cold
blooded facts," for Mr. Lawson has pledged himself to tell the truth,
the whole truth, and nothing but the truth.
