THE MORNiyG OKEGOXIA MONDAY, JANUARY 23, 1905. ELDER ON ROCKS Coast Steamer Goes Ashore Near Goble. CARGO RUINED BY WATER 12 - Passengers Keep Cool and No One Hurt. BIG GAP IS TORN IN THE HOLD Steamer Geo". W. Elder, Bound for Sin Francisco, Sustains Acci 'dent to Her Rudder, and Drifts on Beach. The Portland & San Francisco Steam ship Company's steamship the Geo. W. Elder, struck a submerged rock In the Columbia about hair a mile south of Go ble Saturday night at 10:E0 o'clock and Is now pivoted on the edge of a reef with the bow hanging over 16 fathoms of water, while the stern points toward the shore and rests in from one to six fathoms. A terrible hole Is torn through the bottom Just a little forward of midship on the port side, and the water 13 15 or 16 feet deep in the boat's hold, covering the gratings over the engines to within four feet of the main deck. The vessel had a miscellaneous cargo of 1100 tons ab6ard, which consisted of wheat and oats, flour, crackers, tallow, lard and a large consignment of newspaper from the Oregon City Mills. Most of this will be a total oss. as It is all covered by the -water, the depth of which varies as the tide rises and falls. The cargo, exclusive of the grain and flour, was Insured at $20. 000 by Xhe company, and it is estimated that the flour and grain was covered by practically as much more Insurance' by the shippers, so that the total Insurance on the cargo Is in the neighborhood of 530.006 or while it is estimated at the Portland office that the vessel was worth close to 5130.000. Nothing is known of the amount of Insurance carried on the vessel here, as that business Is done through the San Francisco office of the company. Passengers Taken Off. There were 23 cabin and 9 steerage pas sengers aboard when the vessel struck, all of whom were taken from the decks when the Hassalo reached the scene of the accident from Portland. There was no excitement and no disorder, the life boats being prepared for launching as soon as the accident happened, after which the passengers and crew waited until re lief came to them. The force of the shock tore a large hole through the bottom of the ship and drove tho deck stanchions through the main deck, bulging it out of shape and badly wrecking the cabins. The gap In the hull Is so large that it will be impossible to float the vessel without the aid or pon toons, but as soon as the cargo Is re moves by the lighters, which are now working with it. the Elder will be taken to the drydock and overhauled. Several who have investigated the damage, how ever, do not think it will be profitable to repair the damage that has been done, owing to the age of the vessel and the strain to which the hull Is being sub jected by the pivoting on the sharp points of rock upon which the middle Is now resting. It will take several days to lighten the vessel sufficiently to allow of the ahull being slid from the rocks, and If it is found that the damage is as great as, is suspected in some quarters, the en gines will be taken from the boat, the hull will .be dismantled of what may be saved and the wreck cleared away. Cap tain Randall Is not in the city and the officials of the company do not know the lull extent of the damage, nor will not until the vessel has been docked and ex amined. The Elder left Portland Saturday night at S o'clock for its regular trip to San Francisco. It carried a large cargo of the regular Winter assortment for distri bution along the Coast wherever the ves sel Is wont to stop. Refuses to Answer Helm. When the trip had been made Jown the river as far as Hunter. Pilot Snow, one of the oldest men running on the ricr. noticed thut the boat did not follow her helm a.- she shonld and he began to watch tne movements of the craft very closely. At the place of the accident there is a vry short turn in the river and just at the point of this is a mass of rocks :ilru,t 200 feet from the shore on the Orfsron side ff the rler. One of the rocH.s Is just below the surface at low water and forms tno edge of a reef which drops from the shallow river bed near the shore into very deep water. j As the boat neared this point the pilot found the steering gear hud be- I come jammed and would not work and he immediately rang for speed astern. I The engines responded but the momen- ! turn of the vessel was too great and the back action simply threw the I boat broudside on. She drifted for a short distance in this way and at way and at i Tilr.e- 11 hii!i In li,r hull for IT. nr n feet until the force of the drift being spent, the vessel pivoted on the rock si short distance ahead of amidships on the port side, settling into the water with u slight list to starboard. The force of the current has swung I'.er around until the bow points out into tne river while the stern is on snore. The bow hangs over the edge of the deep channel, where soundings show 16 fathoms of water. Soundings over the stern show but one fathom. Passengers Remain Calm. When the vessel struck but few of the passengers were in bed and all collected on the decks, though in a perfectly quiet and orderly manner. Tht lifeboats were swung over the rails and all was made ready for dis embarkation in case of necessity but the vessel appearing to be solidly fixed on the rocks, the passengers rested In the cabin until the Hassalo, which was sent from Portland to the scene, arrived and. running alongside, transferred them to its deck. They were brought, to Portland where 21 left yesterday morning over the Southern Pacific for San Francisco. The Goorse W. Elder was built in Chester. Pa., and was launched in Jan uary, 1874, at the shipyards of Roach & Son. She was brought around the Horn for the San Francisco-Portland trade and has been continually In that service with the exception of a short lime on the Alaska run. The Elder was transferred from the possession of the O. R. & N. Co. to the San Francisco & Portland Steamsnlp line when the water lines were taken from the O. R. & N. Co. by the Harrl man interests, during the last Spring. The leVgth of the boat is 250 feet, the beam 3S.5 feet and depth 21 feet. She is equipped with tr!ple-expansop en- gines and has a gross tonnage of 1710 of Iron with a spar and hurricane deck, and a net tonnage of 1225. The hull is Portland is her home port. HOME TALENT JOB. Police Think the Tralnrobbers Live in Portland. In the opinion of the police the -men who held up the passengers of the Spo kane Flyer early Saturday night are local crooks and are now In this city. The officers yesterday worked with this taken for granted. R. V. Strope and Joe Mofflt, the men arrested Saturday night at The Dalles, are not regarded as having any thing to do with the crime, but they are expected to be brought to Portland today, when a close and searching investigation will be made. It was after daybreak yesterday morn ing when detectives, deputy sheriffs and police officers comprising the posse which went to the scene of the robbers' escape shortly after the crime, returned to po lice headquarters completely fatigued. Throughout t.he night they searched care fully, but were unable to discover any thing conclusive. Stool-Pigeon Gives Clew. Yesterday afternoon, through a "stool pigeon." police headquarters received in formation that may result In the appre hension of the guilty men. This clew strengthened the belief of the police that the job was the work of, local crooks, and that the bandits were still In Port- Jand. Detectives Vaughn and Hluyer worked on this lead until a late hour last night, and announced that, although no arrests could be made early this "morn ing, the track looked exceedingly good and there might be developments- some time today. Detectives Snow and Kerrigan, with Railway Detective Fitzgerald, were also working on the case yesterday. In spite of the fact that they were out all the night before. These officers have several men under surveillance, one of them being among those suspected by Detec tives Vaughn and HUlyer, in spite of the fact that both parties started to work on opposite clews. Police officials ex pressed the belief last night that the guilty men would be caught within a short time. Nothing was found at the scene of the men's departure from the train that could be taken for evidence. The bandits were easily tracked for four blocks from the railroad, but there the trail was lost- The direction taken by the men as they left the train told the officers nothing, as the bandits could hardly have retreated in any other direction. It was apparent, after an investigation of the neighbor hood, that the robbers had no horses. Everything pointed to the fact that they were local men. who returned to the heart of the city immediately after the crime had been committed. Neighboring towns and cities have been furnished descriptions of the men, and throughout the Northwest officials are on the alerl. Police headquarters was not notified .-esterday of any arrests other than of the two men at The Dalles. These two suspects are expected to arrive in Portland this morning, and will im mediately be put through the sweatbox process. Colonel vs. Colonel i Railroad Men Indulge la Some Choice Rrpartee. f OLONEL R. C. JUDSON. the imml ! V-i gratlon agent of the O. R. & N.. sat , ., ,wv , ,w , ce of General Manager Calvin's and pared Into the unheeding visage of Colo nel William Crooks, the assistant to the general manager. The second Colonel gazed out of the window aosontly looking at the drifting people and the busy cars. "Yes." he said, "it is a nice place to live, very convenient.' He was thinking of the hotel where he makes his home. The first Colonel agreed In the main. "It has been pretty hard on me during the time they have been fixing the ele vator, and 1 have had to walk up four flight." he commented. The second Colonel hinted gently that It would doubtless cause great exhaustion to add the exertion of walking up four flights to the already arduous duties of the first Colonel. For a minute the clock ticked loudly, then Colonel Judson turned to the chief clerk. "Why," he asked with a show of great Interest, "Is the Imperial Hotel like the County Jail?" No one could answer the question, and! oionei juason puneu ins nai aown a little tighter and went over to the door. "Because." he explained, as he got into the hall, "it harbors Crooks." The second Colonel whistled a dirge softly to himself and began signing let ters slowly. Do you think. Colonel." asked the hith erto silent spectator, "that conundrum was original with Colonel Judson?" The assistant to the manager paused in his labors and looked over his glasses with grieving eyes. "That man," he said solemnly, and with sadness, "never originated anything. In the course of his evolution, I think he must havc.had a parrot for an ancestor." As it stands now, each of the Colonels claims to have won the victory. BROADSIDE LOBBY HAS NO PIE Third House at Salem Is Lean and Hungry. TOILERS MUCH " DISGUSTED Few Old-Time Prophets Have Joined This Session's Bunch of -Saints, and New Accretions Scarce Starvation May Ensue. The "third house" at Salem has not yet been able to muster a quorum, and so lean has been the diet and so stingy the promise that even Speaker Bill Swope, who, by the way, is president of the Anti Indictment League, la disgusted. Speak er Swope stamped, the ground xnlghtlly with his foot as he left the Capitol, and smote the earth yet again when he reached Portland, for his patience was all exhausted. So was the patience of Dan Welch, of Astoria, perennial chairman of the third House's committee on fisheries. "It'e a dry bunch up there." quoth Speaker Swope. with a wry face. "I nearly etarved to death." remarked Chairman Welch, whose countenance was ploughed with deeper care than ever. Yet this week the menu may be fatter for the ribs. Local option Is to be. fought out: also protection of forests against fire, and county division. Richest Prey of AH. Lobbyists regard the "booze" Issue as the richest prey of all, but the liquor peo ple have refused to be milked thus far, and the gentlemen who hang on the rail ing In the third House and spit down the light-well have been much put out thereat. Still they are not without courage, for they think that the gentlemen who de sire protection against Prohis and anti saloon leaguers, and the timbermen who wish to be safeguarded against fire, and the" country-seat boomers who want three new counties will not be able to achieve greatness without the prophets in the third House, who through faith have sub dued kingdoms, wrought righteousness and obtained promises In time past. The telegraphs rattle their garrulous tidings to the four corners of the state just as when they tell of a Senatorial fight and through the surging doors of the two chambers escape glimpses of the President and the Speaker. But the mirglng crowd of fat lobby saints is not there. Instead only a far flung cluster of lean and hungry patriots. Larry Sullivan Is Lost. Ex-Speaker Larry Sullivan, a magnate of erstwhile note, whose boarding-house guests are sailing the main In every zone. Is no longer there, for Larry, be It re membered, has retired from politics and ceased to entertain jack tars at Second and Gllsan: therefore, his interests no longer need protection. Other Immortals, whose spaces In the circumambient tobac co atmosphere in the lobby are empty, are such as Abe Tlchncr and Cader Pow ell. Mike Nolan, of The Dalles: C. J. Cur tis, of Astoria; Ben Harden, of Dallas, and Buck Myers, of Washington County, and ever so many others who will appear eft soons In these contents. Nor In this relation let the names of Hen Owens and Jim Hendershott be for gotten, the gentlemen who sat in the third House nearly a thousand years and whose departed spirits are now In the angel chorus. Their works live after them, and In that valhalla of the lobby above which the dome rears Itself In stately majesty their forms remain In perpetual memory. Greatest of the Mighties. And who are the greatest mighties that have thumped their heels In the sanctu ary of the lobby? Iet not Bill Swope and Dan Welch, hereinbefore mentioned, be the only ones exalted. Let the catalogue of celebrities not end without Jim Kcene. Vawter's head man. of Medford. A. W. Gowan, Senator Mitch ell's friend in the Burns landofflcc: Pete D'Arcy. Democratic warhorse of the for lorn In Marion; Jim Campbell. Brown- ell'.s right bower in Clackamas: H. Hlrsch berg, railroad and hop potentate, of In dependence: W. W. Cotton, who pilots the O.

Nor in this catalogue should be omitted the patriots who have been striving with might and. main for and against creation of Cascade. Nesmlth and Hot Lake C aun ties. Such worthies as Postmaster Ham ilton, of Antelope, and his satellites. H. C. Rooper, W. Bolton. Frank Irvine. C. B. Durbln. P. A. Klrchhelmer, Max Lued demann and R. L.

And the old guard which chewed and smoked and expectorated and talked in the lobby where is it? Where are Bill Matlock and Jim Raley. of Pendleton? Is Bill Sweeney, of Portland, forgotten? Are George Waggoner, of Corvallls, and J. B. Eddy, of Portland, still on earth? Will Major Kennedy, and Captain Al Belts, and Al Powell, and Albert Hess, and Wil liam Earnhart. and W. P.

NO DAY FOR CHRIST Would Be Galled Anarchist if Alive Today. DR. CHAPMAN'S BADICAL VIEW V Former Head of Oregon University Says Christian Workers Would Pass Resolution Against Jesus and Socrates x If Alive. "As for Jesus Christ and Socrates, Chautauqua societies would spew them out: the Women's "Christian Temperance Union would pass resolutions against them; Jesus might possibly be admitted as an associate member of the Young Men's Christian Association, but never as an active member, because If he wers alive his creed would not be evangelical." The speaker was Dr. Charles Hiram Chapman, formerly president of the Uni versity of Oregon, and who In 1S99 went Into bucolic retirement. His speech was delivered last night In the Neighborhood Guild House, on First street near Hall, and the occasion was the opening of the People's Forum, a place for public debate and freedom of thought- Rev. Stephen S. Wise, D. D., was chairman, and the vocalist of the evening was J. Adrian Epplng, who was In good voice and won many compliments for the fine style in which he sang "The Evening Star" from "Tannhauser," his encore be ing a polished, attractli-e rendering of "Hawley's "When Love Is Gone." Mrs. Slg Sichel acceptably played the piano accompaniments. Dr. Wise said In part: Purpose of the Vorum. "The People's Forum will be a place for absolute freedom of thought, discus sion and debate, and I hope the time will soon arrive when this hall will become too small to accommodate those who gather here. We will not all agree. It Is true, but there will be those among us who will go out and carry a message. The Forum will stand, upon a broad and Ilhoral nlalfnrm anrf iinrtn nnn ntttntr- we speak the truth. We need not fear J light, and rather welcome the truth. When I hear of the revolt against the House of Romanoff. It seems to me If Russia had established, say In 20 of her large cities, a forum such as we possess and had permitted, absolutely freedom of discussion such as we enjoy, the revolt which seems to have broken out In Rus sia might have been averted, for good. (Applause.) e stand here for truth. ! neither Christian. Jewish nor Socialistic. of New York City has done, under Charles Sprague Smith, I would remind you of the successful action it took in forcing the Legislature to pass a law lim iting the life of the franchise of the New York subway, to the great benefit of the people. Our Forum can also take a stand ' on public questions when opportunity ' ! onapmans uioomy views. In talking about the Influence of free- i dnm of lhntieht in nnhUf rtlccucTtnn rr- : Chapman took a gloomy view of most ' things In general, and abused theologians : and politicians, but never mentioned the.j word "religion." He lauded the deeds and words of freethinkers, and told story of a Portland clergyman who ten years ago went to lecture the students of j the University of Oregon on the over- . manufacture or tempests. "Nowhere In the civilized world at tho present time Is there less freedom of thought and less freedom of expression . than In America. Why? we are doml ; nated in our thinking and speaking by I fads, fashions and fixed ideas. We dislike Ins In the minority, especially the minority of one. Theology and politics -have laid pitfalls for. every power of hu man thought, and when free thpught has won the victory the former put on pious expressions and claimed all the credit. Jesus and Socrates Anarchists. "Politicians and theologians laid a trap for that good Jew. Jesus, and while in that trap they put him to death. Socrates and Jesus were freethinkers, and if they lived now the orthodox would not tolerate them. They would be treated as anar chists.. The Woman's Christian Temper ance Union would call them 'wine bib bers.' Theology Is that wily old serpent that would, for what we believe, burn us at the stake. Russia Is .a valhalla of theology, and God has left Russia a can cer, eating Into the heart of nations. The advisers of- the Czar are politicians and thieves. In Russia they still pretend to cure the sick through the medium of old rags,- and dry bones." The speaker. In closing, eulogized free thought and such freethinkers as Adam Smith, Spinoza, Herbert Spencer and Huxley. Othsr Addresses Made. Addresses were also given by D. Soils Cohen and Dr. Woods Hutchinson, who praised the opening of the People's Fo rum, and predicted Its early success. Dr. Hutchinson was Introduced as one who might deal theology a "solar plexus" blow, and he laughingly protested against being held up a? a horrible example. The discussion was also carried on by Otto J. Kraemer, Isaac Swett and others. It is likely that the Forum will meet every Sunday evening at 7:30 o'clock. Addresses are already promised from Rev. T. U. Eliot, D. D.; Rev. Stephen S. "Wise, D. D.; Dr. C. H. Chapman, Rev. G. C. Cressey. Isaac Swett, Richard W. Mon tague. D. Soils Cohen. Dr. Woods Hutch inson and others. "We also expect to have a debate between an Anglo-American who believes this country could set tle certain questions with England with out going to war with her, and a genu ine Irishman who wants war with Eng land so that his former home may be helped." hinted Dr. Wise. It was noteworthy in the various dis cussions last night that, although liberty of speech was allowed, nobody took the side of the orthodox churches or spoke of the triumphs won by religion. Dr. Wise stated that he would reply to Dr. Chapman, on a future occasion. CALL UGLY NAMES. Evangelist Weigle Says All Lodge Members Lie. Rev. C. F. Weigle, a Quaker evangelist. last night preached a startling sermon at the . Sunnyside Quaker Church. He f erred to secret societies as a Christless, oathbound, bloodthirsty lot, who dared say that their lodges were as good as the church. He scored chewers of tobacco and told a story of how plug tobacco is made, and laid the terrible Iroquois Thea ter fire of Chicago, the eruption of Mont Pelee and other great deathdeallng calam ities at the door of blasphemers and mock ers of God. Among other things he said "I am for shooting these buzzards, these half-hearted buzzards; whether they be seated in front or in the rear of a church. These enemies of the church must be driven out, for folk must be on one side or the other. They must be with God or with the devil, and if they are with the devil, the quicker they all go to hell the better it will be for the church. We must be free of these devilish, Christless peo ple, and then this will become God's dove cote. People who wish to be on God'a side must give the devil fits. They must nght Idolatry and they must give all to God." Brands Secret Societies. Then the speaker turned his attention to secret societies. He said that the men who belonged to them were skeptics, ag nostics and liars. "They He to join these organizations. They are Christless and oathbound, bloodthirsty murderers, who dare to say that the lodge is as good as he church and that they are Christians. rora few pennies you can send to Chi cago and get a book that will tell you of all their bloodthirsty oaths, their grips and their signs.

During the noon hour a lunch was served in the basement of the church for those who came from a distance. Mrs. Weigle assisted her husband in the sing- ins. It is not known whether there were any conversions yesterday, hut if Rev. Mr. Weigle keeps up his strenuous line oi sermons, it Is believed he will surely take some of the hardened sinners of Sunny side Into the fold. Bossuet Beached in Bay. SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 22. The French bark Bossuet, coal-laden from Australia, had a peculiar and dangerous experience last night. She came Into port under full sail and dropped her anchors near Alca traz Island. Both anchor plates tore away and the anchors and chains went to the bottom. The bark, at the mercy of the wind and tide, was drifting to the Island, when sail was quickly hoisted, arid the vessel missed going on the rocks Tiy'tT feet. The captain decided that his onJy safety was In beaching the bark, and she was steered onto the mud flats at Berkeley. She was taken off today, having sustained little damage. - The fragrant aroma that arises from a cup of hot Ghirardelli's Ground Choco late is an invitation that no appetite can resist.
