THIS OKJTCXG OREGOA'IAITt TMUKSUAK, JULY 7, lwo, WITNESS IS MISSING Ernest Starr, Nephew of Will iamson, Plays Truant.. OFFICERS ON HIS TRAIL Unless Disappearance Can Be Traced to,A'gents or Defense, Important Testimony "Will Be Ixst by Prosecution. Ernest Starr, the nephew of J. N. "Will iamson, and one of the most Important "witnesses for the Government In the trial now being- conducted In the Federal Court, has disappeared and cannot be found by the men In search of him. It is sup posed that he Is hiding: In the Cascade Mountains betweeen Eugene and Prlne vllle In order to escape being required to bear witness for the second time against his kinsman. The Government has nearly a dozen men scouring the country In an effort to find him in time to produce him before the case goes to the Jury. No ex pense Is being; spared as the success of the prosecution depends in large part upon the testimony of the truant witness. Starr, who was throughout the first trial an unwilling witness against the defend ants, left Portland on Thursday morning, the day upon which the disagreeing Jury was at last discharged and the time for the second trial set by the court. The trav eler reached Eugene on the afternoon of Thursday and left on the stage that same day for Blue River. From Blue River he went to McKenzle Bridge, where he se cured a horse from John O'Lean and started for the summit of the mountains. Since then nothing has been heard of him. O'Leary, It is understood, has in timated that he could find the missing man, but has refused to give anj informa tion to the officials by which a clew as to his whereabouts could be found. Starr Leaves for Eugene. As soon as the date for the new hearing was fixed by the court for July 21, the Chief of Police of Eugene was notified to serve a subpena upon Starr, It having been learned by the Government that he had left for that place. The Eugene offi cial was unable to locate his quarry and men were sent out across the mountains on the trail supposed to have been taken by Starr. In addition to those, other men have been employed until all of the dif ferent paths across the summit are being searched. The missing man Is considered a very Important witness by District Attorney Heney, and it was stated in the opening address of the attorney that he would show conclusively by Starr that perjury had beep committed at the Instance and suggestion of the defendants. There is a statute In the Federal 1rw which makes it punishable by Imprison ment for any witness to hide away or to attempt to elude the service of summons to appear before the court Testimony Is Important. In the event that Starr cannot be found the Government will lose the weight of his testimony, unless It can be shown that the witness was persuaded, or induced, by one or other of the defendants, their at torneys or agents, to leave the city and to hide from the officers of the Govern ment. If It can be shown by the prose cution that any message or admonition was sent to the witness by anyone con cerned with the defense telling him to keep out of sight until after the trial had been concluded, or any effort made by them to prevent the service of sum mons upon him. then the testimony given at the first trial can be used as evidence at the .second and read by the District Attorney, or .given to the Jury. The Gov ernment Is making a thorough Investiga tion in order to be able to use the tran script of the testimony given by Starr in case ho cannot be found and If it Is pos sible to connect his disappearance in any way with the agents of the defense. WITNESS HIDES IX HILLS. Nephew of Williamson Evades Offi cers "WlthSubpena. EUGENE, Or.. July 26. (Special.) United States Marshals, who have been trying to find Ernest Starr, for whom they have a subpena to appear as a witness in the Williamson trial, have come to the conclusion that he is In concealment somewhere in the vicinity of the McKenzle bridge or at one of the springs near there, and also suspect J. V. O'Leary of aiding him In evading the officers who have the subpena. They have been searching for Starr for several days, and yesterday even ing came down from the bridge to Eea burg, whore they communicated with the officials In Portland by telephone, informing them of their investigations and asking instructions. Instructions were telephoned back to arrest OXeary, and officers turned back from Leaburg- and Chief of Police Stiles went out from here to assist in the work. Slarr Is wanted in the Williamson case and is supposed to possess impor tant Information, and after the arrest of O'Leary It is believed an obstacle to his discovery will be removed. Officers here who know O'Leary well seem to doubt whether he will submit to arrest without a warrant, and look for him to offer resistance. If they succeed he will probably arrive tomorrow morning. O'Leary owns what Is known as the old Powers place at McKenzle bridge, where he keeps .a. mountain, hostelry and entertains guests during the Sum mer season. ATTORNEYS TILT IN COURT (Continued From First Pae.) stated that the matter had been gone Into more fully later In the testimony and he had forgotten the question. "Tour qeustfon was a proper one." said the court to Mr. Bennett, "the rule'ls, however, that the witness has a right to see the testimony before being questioned about it. I suppose, though, that If it is read correctly to him. the same purpose is served and It amounts to the same thing." Mr. Heney took the witness in hand at the dose of toe cross-examination and showed that he had really con tradicted his use of the word probably at the previous trial, and the inoldent was closed. Jeffersen D. Evans, the first witness of the session, told the same too as at the previous trial. He had filed on land In 1902 at the suggestion of Biggs, who had also asked him to have his wife take a claim, and had told him that Gesner would let him have the money to prove up with. He had afterward got a check back from the Land Office and had cashed It and had given the money to Biggs. He told of the letter he had received from Gesaer advising Im to relinquish the claim, for fear of getting Into trouble. He denies1 Gemer bad asked him to file on a claim that he had signed any note for any amount and stated, on the contrary, that Biggs had told -him there had been no security required of him. He had ex pected to sell the land to Gesner when be bad received a patent to It. Green Beard told his story as at the first triaL He had been asked by Biggs to take a claim and had been told to get Frank Ray and his wife to die as well. On cross-examination Mr. Bennett tangled the witness up a little In regard to,several statements he bad made at the first trial, though the etory In the main was Identi cal. Bennett Is Censured. In this cross-examination Mr. Bennett was censured by Judge De .Haven for the questions he had put. The attorney had asked the witness if he would not answer "yes" to any question propounded by Mr. Heney. "Sou have no right to ask such a ques tion," said the court, "it Is an insult to the witness and he. has a right to be treated with respect and protecteff from insult while testifying." Judge Bennett Instated that he had no intention of in sulting the witness. Henry Beard was the first witness at the afternoon session. He testified that BRITISH TRAMP 1LFOKD. Ljing at the Inraan-FouUen mill In tne upper harbor is the big British tramp steamer Ilford, which is losdlng lumber for Taku Bar. China, for the Pacific Export Lumber Company of Portland. She win take out fully' 3.000.000 feet. The frelshter Sandhurst, chartered by the same company. Is already on the way across the Pacific The huite RapoIIo. loaded in May. Is discharging her cargo in China now. Another steamer, the Cemerie, will soon start for Portland for a full carso of lumber. The lnman-Poulsen mill, at which these vewels have leaded. last year cut 105,000.000 feet, more lumber than any other mill In the world. and had told him that ho could have 773 clear on the deal. He had taken one claim, but It had afterward been changed by Biggs, though without authorization, because someone else iad previously filed on It. On cross-cxamlnatlon Mr. Bennett drew from the witness that he had told a good many people he had never con tracted to veil the land to Williamson and Oemer. Christian Fcuerholm told of having taken a claim at the suggestion of Gesner. He had asked Gesner if he could sell the land and Gesner had said he would buy It. The witness had then made his filing. Maggie Glaze told of having met Bigg?, who had suggested to her that she take a claim, telling her that she could make ?75 by the tranjxctIon, but the witness denied remembering that Gcsner's name had been mentioned In any way. W. T. Fogle. the editor of the Crook County Journal. Identified notices pub lished In his paper as those ordered by Biggs, and testified that Gesner had agreed to be responsible for some of them. Mis? Anna M. Lang, receiver of the Land Office at The Dalles, was the last witness of the day. and identified the affidavits and final proofs received and filed by her In handling the various claims set out In the Indictment. Court was adjourned at the conclusion of Miss Lang's testimony, until this morn ing at 10 o'clock. FUNERAL OF D. S. LAMONT Simple Services at Home Attended by Many Notable Men. k MILL BROOK, N. T..

JUUr FUST BOATS TO RUN Telegraph and Telephone Will Soon-Be on River. RACES ALMOST CERTAIN Announced Yesterday That the Fast Paget Sound Stermvhecler Will Be Here, Ready for BusI- , ncss, by August 1. Within ten days two more of the finest steamboats on the Pacific Coast are to be running out of Portland, and the excur- BIG FREIGHTER LOADING LUMBER FOR jl slon buslnessr which has been tremend ous, considering the number of boats em ployed the last month, will be at Its height. It was positively learned yesterday that Captain U. B. Scott Intends to bring the Telegraph around from Puget Sound. The boat will leave here early next week, and should start "on her first run out of Port land by August 1. Previous reports as to the Telegraph had not been credited.. By that time the steamer Telephone, the third of the famous line of that name, will undoubtedly cut loose from the dock where she lias laid for two years. Arrangements have been made for the landing of the Telegraph at the Oak street dock. There seems little doubt that she will go on the Cascade Locks run In competition with the Bailey Gatzcrt. which goes out loaded to the guards every trip. A dozen times the Telephone has been assigned to every possible run on the river. First she 1 to run to Astoria, then to The Dalles, then to the Cascades, she will be open for charter parties ex clusively, she will be leased to Captain Spencer to compete with the Bailey Gat zert, she will be taken to Puget Sound, and she will never move at all. Meanwhile the boat Is nearly ready for business, and Captain Cochran maintains a deep silence. In a week, however, all the alterations and Improvements will be finished. Somewhat resembling Telephone No. 2. the predecessor of the present steamer, the Telegraph Is 45 feet shorter than the Telephone and has 25 feet beam against the other boat's 3L She was built two years ago, with speed as the first con sideration. If there are not some of the liveliest brushes ever seen on the Coast after these two steamboats, noted for their speed, get Into harness It will surprise every man along the river. The Telegraph Is boomed to beat the Spencer, acknowledged the fastest boat here at present. COLUMBIA'S NARROW ESCAPE Steamer-Strnck Barge a Tremendous Blow on Port Side. ASTORIA. Or.. July 25. (Special-) Al though not suffering any serious damage, the steamer Columbia, of the O. R. & N. Company's line, had a narrow escape from being wrecked near the mouth of the Willamette River last night, as she was coming down from Portland. As the steamer was entering the Columbia .River, she sighted the dredge Columbia Vwlth a barge alongside, lying at anchor directly In the narrow channel. In an effort to get by. Pilot Snow sig nalled "full speed ahead." but the force of the current set the steamer rapidly down stream, and she struck the barge with her port side near the forward port of the main deck, denting end springing the plates about four feet above the water line. Fortunately, the point of contact was where the hull had been reinforced with heavy Iron stanchions. Had It been a few feet further forward or aft. the damage would hare undoubt edly been much greater. On arrival here the injured plates wera caulked and cemented before the vessel proceeded to sea. It is understood that upon reach ing San Francisco, the Columbia, will, be laid up for a few days for repairs. The channel at the point where gthe ac cident occurred Is extremely narrow, with a strong current running. Lake Steamer Burned Completely. E5 CAN ABA. Mich.. July 26.

The man and woman who gave the alarm could not say positively that a man had fallen overboard. Accede to Cut, on ElOHr. ' Holding out against a cut In rates that was Intended to encourage exports when business was dull, the Puget Sound companies operating boats to the Orient yesterday signified their willing ness to follow the 54 a ton rate on flour proposed by the Portland & Asiatic Company. Already some reservations for September have xbeen made, but though the new rate goes Into effect August 13 there will probably be little flour shipped 'next month. This will mean less private charters and more shipments on the regular steamers. Appeal Fine to Department. ASTORIA. Or.. July Co. (SpedaL) A letter was received at the Custom-house today from San Francisco attorneys, rep resenting the owners of the steam schooner Cascade, which was recently fined SCO for shortage In the equipment CHINA of her lifeboats.

BOILERS NOT TO BE MOVED Everything to Be. Left for Examina tion by Court of Inquiry Ves sel Afloat and ' Can Be Safely Towed. WASHINGTON. July 26. Rear-Admiral Goodrich, commander-in-chief of the Pa cific station. Is expected to arrive at San DIeso tomorrow on his flagship, the Chi cago, and the Navy Department expects him to convene a court of Inquiry and begin the Investigation into the Ben nington disaster without delay. It was stated at the department tcday that a telsgrara from Captain Drake, in which he makes reference to a telegram from Admiral Goodrich, Indicated that the Admiral fullv understands that the Department desires him to Institute a searching Investigation. Precautions have been taken by the department to pre serve existing conditions on the Ben nington until after the arrival of Admiral Goodrich. It was explained in this con nection that orders had been sent not to disturb the boilers and to have them remain Just as they were after the ex plosion. The steam log of the Bennington cov ering the quarter ending June 20. which came to the department yesterday, was carefully scanned by department offlclals today, but no statement was forthcoming as to what light It might shed. It was stated at the Navy Department today that the transfers of bodies of those who perished on the Bennington to the homes of relatives will be made as rapidly as possible, but that some delays must necessarily be expected, since there are certain health regula tions to be compiled with In the cases of bodies already burled. The Bureau of Medicine and Sursery. to which all requests for the transportation of bodies Is referred. Is using every effort to ex pedite the work. An appropriation Is available for such transportation. Captain Drake, at San Diego, has re- ported to the Naw Department the death today of S. Takala, wardroom cook oi the Bennington. His father Is C. Takata. at Toklo. BENNINGTON AFLOAT AGAIN. Will Be Towed to Mare Island. Death Roll Still Grows. SAN DIEGO. CaL. July S. The gun boat Bennington la again afloat on an even .keel, and will be towed to the Mare Island Navy-Yard to be thoroughly ex amined and repaired. She will be taken up by the fris, escorted by the powerful naval tug Fortune, but It Is now doubtful If she will get away before the arrival of the Chicago. Divers are making an. ex amination of her hull today. Admiral Goodrich Is expected to arrive on his flagship tonight or early tomorrow, when an investigation of the disaster will bo begun. Much Interest centers on the question of what was the steam pressure on boiler B at the time of the explosion. It being understood that the safety-valve had been set to blow off at 140 pounds. Ten minutes before the explosion the pressure was only 11S pounds, but was rising. The boiler had been cleaned only a short time before and filled with fresh j water irom asnore. uniy one Doner ex ploded. Examination of the Inside of the ship shows that the hull har been damaged but little. If any. The water which poured In and caused the listing came through the blow-hole, which had been broken by the force of the explosion. The water Is now under control, and no difficulty Is ex pected In making the vessel seaworthy to stand the trip to. Mare Island. A private dispatch from Oak says that the mother of E. B. Robinson, one of the Bennington victims, has lost her mind through grief. No deaths have occurred since that of W. V. Kennedy late yesterday afternoon, which brought the total up to 60. but In quiry at Agnew's Sanitarium this after noon elicited the statement that no hope Is entertained for the recovery of at leapt three and it Is thought that these may pass away during the night. DEAD NOW NUMBER SLXTT-TWO Tivo Additions to Bennington's Death List Ship Ready for Sea. SAN DIEGO, Ca.. July 25. The list of the Bennington dead now numbers 62. At I o'clock this morning S. Takate. a. Jap anese mess attendant, expired, and at 9:20 o'clock tonight H. A. Metius. pay clerk, passed away. The case of Metius was peculiar. He was' able to walk uptown after the acci dent, and was thought not to have been badly Injured. After his wounds had been dressed, he was out on the streets. Suddenly he collapsed and had to be taken to the hospital on a stretcher. It Is sup posed that the shock and a weak heart were the causes of his death. The Bennington Is now ready to go north. But, should Admiral Goodrich, who Is due here In a few hours, decide to hold an Inquiry here, the presumption Is that the Bennington will not be taken north until the Investigation Is com pleted. i Diver Will Examine Hull.

Assistant Sec retary Hays today made the following re port to Secretary "Wilson on the acreage of cotton in the Southern states in 1905 as compared with that planted in 1501: The crop estimating- board of the Depart ment of Agriculture has considered the' re port issued by the Bureau or Statistics of June 2 last, ot the acreage planted In cot ton in the Southern States in 1005. as com pared with that planted in' 1904, and has con cluded: First That a, new estimate should be made on acreage planted, and that the figures in Mr. Hyde's hands when making his estimate should be used as the basis. Second That "Mr. Hyde, with Mr. Holmes at his elbow prompting him. made the esti mate higher than the facts at his hand from the report of the seven classes of. reporters employed by the bureau warranted. Third The board finds upon careful consid eration of the reports of all classes of cor respondents and agents that the acreage plant ed In cotton this year. Including the entire sea ion, rtiould have been estimated at 85.1 per cent ot that planted last year, equivalent to a reduction In planted acreage as compared with last year of 14.0 per cent (Instead of 11.4 per cent), or 4.731.O0O acres, the esti mate of the total acreage planted this year being 26,990.000" acres.

WHISTLES WERETDO LUTE LIGHTSHIP GAVE XO WARNING UNTIL TRICOLOR STRUCK. Captain of Wrecked Collier Says 'Men Were Inactive When He Passed Blunt's Reef. EUREKA. CaL. July 26. With a fain chance of holding together for many days yet. despite the fact that breakers aref pounding" over her, the Norwegian steamer Tricolor, which went ashore In the fog ati Cape Mendocino at 3 o'clock yesterday still lies hard and fast on the rocks. From! all appearances, the vessel Is still intact: and In as good condition as she was with- In half an hour after she struck the rocky! coast, punctured her bottom and partially! sank. A heavy fog still overhangs the coast ati the cape, but the vessel was plainly dls-t cernlble from the lighthouse at daybreak. The beach Is free from wreckage, clearly) Indicating that the sea has had but small damaging effect on the ship up to the present time. The beach Is lined with wreckers, anions whom are many Indians, who are patient" ly awaiting the disintegration of the hulk of the steamer, which will release every- thing that will float. There Is compara- tlvely little beach, and what there Is 1st strewn with rocks, on which anything! that would come ashore would be broken: Into pieces. In fact, Captain Wold figures that so little can be saved from the shipt that he will not even go down to the! coast. He is now In communication withl the owners of the vessel In, Norway, and; has also wired to the Western Fuel Com-) pany, of San Francisco, to whom the ves- sel was chartered, apprising them of the) loss of their cargo of 6500 tons of coal. Captain Wold states that the steamer was heavily insured. He Is very bitter In his comments of the lightship stationed on the Mendocino coast, to whose failure to give good service he attributes the los3 of his ship. He stated this morning thas the lightship was inactive when he passed her. and that no sound was heard from! her until 4:30 In the morning, when sha started blowing. This was after tha steamer had gone ashore. Captain. Wold and his men will depart for San Fran-. Cisco on the steamer Corona on Friday. At that port, the Norwegian Consul .will probably be called upon, and provision! made for the men, who lost everything In the wreck, with the exception of a small quantity of baggage.
