HER LARGE CROWD
Roanoke Had to Turn Away
Passengers Coming North.
ALL ATTRACTED BY FAIR
Hill's Great Northern Liners to Be
, Put on Twelve and Fourteen
Day Schedules In Cross
ing the Pacific
The Exposition tourist travel by wa
ter 1b now on In full swing:. When the
steamship Roanoke reached Columbia
dock at 5 o'clock yesterday afternoon,
she landed the largest crowd of pas
sengers she has landed since she was
bought by the 2Corth Pacific Steamship
Company. Her accommodations -were
taxed to the limit, and the officers say
they turned away passengers at bqth
Eureka and Coos Bay.
The list showed 121 in the cabin and
25 in the steerage. The weather at
sea was excellent all the way up from
Port Los Angeles, and if any of the
passengers bad a desire to experience
the feeling of seasickness, they were
disappointed. Among the passengers
was V'. E. Keller, president of the
Globe billing Company, of San Fran
clco and Los Angeles, and W. . If.
Joyre, of the same company. W. H.
Mock, superintendent of the Crescent
"Wharf Company, of San Pedro, is mak
ing the round trip on the steamer, ac
companied by his wife. Nearly all the
Roanoke's passengers were attracted
to this city by the Fair.
The steamer brought up 240 tons of
general freight, including 100 tons of
asphaltum. and a lot of fireworks for
the Exposition, which were landed im
mediately after the baggage and
rushed to the grounds. On the trip
back the Roanoke will carry 1400 tons
of wheat for San Pedro, and from the
way that staterooms are being taken, .11 is
evident she will have a full list of pas
sengers. Fast Time for Biff Hill Liners.
SEATTLE. June 29. (Special.) The
Great Northern steamships Dakota and
Minnesota will be put on a schedule
that requires them to cross the Pacific
to this Coast in 12 days and from Seat
tle to Yokohama, outward bound, in 14
days. T.hls schedule is better than any
American passenger steamship line out
of the Sound has attempted. It will
require of the boats better average
speed than is planned for the Pacific
Coast Steamship Company's Seattle
San Francisco fleet.
Tropic Will Bo Total 'Wreck..
SAN FRANCISCO. Juno 29. The
Merchants' Exchange received advices
frm London today, saying that the
British steamer Tropic, which sailed

GREAT FUTURE FOR JAPAN
Thomas J. Smith Predicts Wonder
ful Development of Commerce.
"American merchants should not lose
sight of the fact that it is the ambition
of Japan to become a great commercial
nation and that the result of the war in
Manchuria and on the ocean hag not
in the least disturbed the equanimity of
tne Japanese people. said Thomas J
Smith, of Yokohama, until very recently
general agent for Japan of the Portland
& Aelatk- Steamship Cenpany. Mr. Smith
visited Portland last Just preceding -the
beginning of the Russo-Japanese war,
when be stated ate 'conviction that the
little men would give a good account of
themselves should war be declared.
"When the agency ef the Harrlman
steamship lines wore consolidated. Mr.
Smith vacated his position. Yesterday he
arrived in Portland, to remain several
days, and paid his respects to traffic
representatives of the O. It. & X.. with
whom his relations were close for several
years. He is taking a brief respite from
work after a long period of application.
Continuing he said:
"Japanese, as Individuals and as a na
tion, are striving to adopt so far as pos
sible American methods of doing things,
in the hope of surpassing even this coun
try in commercial importance. English
is now being taught in their schools and
ffw Japanese children do sot have some
knowledge of our language and speak it
more or less fluently. Following restora
tion for peace I look for extraordinary
Increase in trade. Travel has never been
heavier to this country than at present,
which is an Indication of the generally
prosperous condition of the population
of Japan. I do not Vnow eo much about
China, and action taken by the guilds In
the nature of a. boycott agalsst Ameri-
can goods that has been Te ported in the
dispatches has transpired since I left
Hongkong, so I know nothing as to its
extent.
'I was in Tokio when the news came
of Togo's defeat of Rojestvensky, and it
was celebrated In about the same man
ner Americans would do under similar
conditions. There was a big parade and
considerable demonstration for the Jaj
anese. But there was a modesty about
It all that was characteristic of the man
ner in which they do things, and that
denotes to me that no -"Jthstanding their
success in the present -var they wIM
not be found carrying a chip on their
shoulders, but will go back tfcpursults
of peace."

HIS NERVES SHATTERED
Motorman of Car Which Killed Child

Nerves completely shattered by the
shock of witnessing the violent death- of
7-year-eld Joe Riggs, Hans Nielsen, rooter
man on 'the car of the Portland Consoli
dated Railway under the tracks of which
the fatal injuries were sustained, has an
nounced his determination never again to

the car that caused death as to be in a
nervous state bordering on collapse.
Xleison recently came to Portland and

getting acquainted with the city. He has
had 12 years of experience at the busi

volved in an accident. Althought not

department of service. He has not been
working since the accident, and is firm
in his decision not to do so. Manager
Fuller states that Xelisoa's service has
not yet been terminated with the com

Nine Prisoners Taken Out and

ALL ARE KILLED BUT ONE
Tiro Murders and an Assault on a
White "Woman Lead to the
Action of Judge Iomch-s

WATKINSVILLE, Ga.. June 29. Nine
prisoners were taken from jail here this
morning and eight shot to death by a
mob of masked white men. within 200
yards of the center of the town. Nine

men were carried to the ene of the
lynching, but one miraculously e?saped
death by falling to the ground when the
volley was fired, and feigned death.
The names of the prisoners who were
killed are: Lewis Robertson, Rich Rob
inson. Sandy Price. Claude Elder. Bob
Harris. Jim Yearly and Rich Allen, all
negroes, and Lon Aycock, white.
Joe Patterson, a negro, feigned death
and the mob left him. thinking he. too,
had been riddled with bullets.
Only one negro was left in the Jail
and he was a gambler who escaped the
notice of the mob. Aycock. tho white
man, protested bin innocence to the laM.
A. IV. Crawford met the mob in the
streets and begged for the life of Ay
cock. as there was doubt as to his guilt.
Jailer Crow also begged for Aycock's
Hfe and the lives of thi. of the negroes.
The immediate cause cv the outbreak
was the attempt of a negro named Sandy
Price to assault Mrs. WeWonyPooley in
the suburbs of "Watklnrrville Vast Tues
day. Tho crime which led primarily to
the lynching was the murder of Mr. and
Mrs. F. H. Holbrook at their home near
Watkinsville a few montho ago. Their
store was robbed. Three negroes con
fessed to the crime and implicated Ay
cock. Every effort is being made to arrest
the members of the mob. The Identity
of none of them Is known, however.
The bodies were fairly riddled with bul
lets. The mob left quietly after doing its
work and none of lts members came to
ward Athens. It is believed that the
men were from neighboring counties.
The mob formed Just after midnight
and marched to the Jail, where the keys
were demanded. The demand was made
at the point of rifles, and the Jailer real
ized that resistance was useless. With
the keys in their possession, the mob
opened all the cell?, ordered the inmates
out, and then lined them up In single
file, tying them with ropes.
The prisoners, nine in number, were
marched to a corner lot within SCO yards
of the Jail aud in the heart of the town,
where they were bound to a fence with
their hands tied behind them. The work
had been so quietly done that the sleep
ing residents of the town had not been
aroused.
At a command by the leader the mob
stopped back a few paces, took delib
erate aim and ared a volley from noes.
shotguns and pistols into the Hae of
prtronerw. Every man in front of the
mob fell at the first voHey. Bettering
Its work had been made complete, the
mob quietly dispersed.
An examination of the Jailer, who had
been forced by the mob to accompany it
te the scene of the execution, showed
that eight of the men bad been riddled
by bullets, bet Joe Patterson wae found
to have been only slightly Injured. Pat
terson's oscape from death was as by a
miracle, for the fence post to which he
had been bound was torn into fragments
by the bullets. He possessed presence
of mind to fall with Ms ill-fated com
panieas and remain motknle on the
ground.
The rattle of the volley aroused the
town. Scores of citizens sprang from
their beds in alarm, to find the mob no
where in evidence, however.
The strength of the mob has been varl
ously estimated. The Jailer said that
there were many armed men. all wearing
masks. He sava he delivered tho keys
te the men. believing it was better to do
that than to resist, which he was- tald

Must Fight the Hop Pest.
