6 THE 3I0RNING OREGONIANv THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 13, 1903. ei in NU ID SEEN IN DISTRESS Sails in Morning and Later Drifts In-Shore and Sig nals for a Tug. TATOOSH GOES TO RESCUE Sighted Off Gearhart Park Las! Evening and Tug Is Certain to Reach Her Before She Goes Ashore Danger Xot Grave. ' ASTORIA, Or., Feb. 12. (Special.) A report was received from North Head about 3:30 this afternoon that the Brit ish bark Amazon, -which sailed this morning for the United Kingdom, was drifting inshore near Tillamook Rock and was signalling for a tug. The tug Tatoosh was eent at once to the rescue, and will probably not return before morning. The bark is known, however, not to have been in so immi nent danger as the first report would Indicate, for at 6:30 this evening she was off Clearhart Park, flve-or six miles offshore, and the tug was certain to reach her shortly after that time. Even without the assistance of a tug, the vessel would be in no grave danger so long as the present weather condi tions continue, as the anchorage there (s good. The Amazon was towed out this morning by the tug Wallula, and was dropped shortly after 10 o'clock well offshore about a mile beyond the Light fehip Station. There was a light north west wind blowing, sufficient to give lier steerage-way, and she headed oft the west-southwest. She must have lost the wind soon afterward, for the tug Wallula went after the French hark Amiral de Cornulier, and as she was crossing in over the bar at 3 o'clock this afternoon she sighted the Amazon grading inshore about half way be tween the Lightship Station and Tilla mook Rock, and some five miles off shore. The bark was flying signala but at that distance they could not be read. The Wallula brought her tow inside and, meeting the Tatoosh goingf out to assist the distressed craft, came up to her wharf.

TEHS . E THE T Unbounded Enthusiasm Marks Meeting of Clubs in the Capital City. PURSE STRINGS NOT CUT All Tom Richardson's Enthusiasm Does Not Bring Forth Any Money to Boom the Place Other Speakers Laud the Town. SALEM, Or., Feb. 12. Opeeial.) Un bounded enthusiasm characterized the "booster" meeting at the Grand Opera. House this evening, when Tom Richard- rEOHJD KIT, LED BERK TABLKN FROM son, of Portland, delivered the principal address. But the enthusiasm did not lead any one to respond to Richardson's call for subscriptions to a fund for advertis ing Salem. After Salem speakers had re ferred to Astoria and Eugene as "vil lages," Richardson told the crowd that Eugene raised a ilO.000 advertising sub scription in 40 minutes in an audience not one-fifth as large, and that Astoria raised $10,000 in 25 minutes. He declared that there are men in Salem "who could buy and lose the men who raised the money at Eugene, and not mles them." He repeatedly challenged some one to start a subscription, but without re sponse. It was evident, however, that Richard son's stirring address made a strdng im pression, and there is no doubt thht Sa lem's present advertising fund of $5000 a year will very soon be Increased. Rich ardson's exclamation, "A town that hopes to keep to the front must get on the 'paying' band wagon, for it can't get in free," aroused tremendous applause, which was renewed when he said that before a town can grow it must quTt dinky subscriptions. The booster spirit was In the air, and Richardson's address gave it new life. His epeech was a very practical one, detailing the plan of or ganization and management of the up-to-date commercial club. At Richardson's suggestion a committee of Salem business men will go to Port land tomorrow personally to Invite Port land business men to come here February 18, when the Salem Board of Trade will give a smoker in celebration of the com pletion of the Portland-Salem trolley line. Other speakers tonight were Mayor Rodgers, who announced that Salem has arranged to spend $250,000 on paving; Mrs. P. H. Raymond, president of the Wom en's Club,- who told how the club haa improved the public parks and estab lished a public library; August Hucke stein, president of the Business Men's League, who advocated the "home in dustry" policy; F. W. Powers, of the Booster Club, who compared Salem with Eugene and Astoria, and Congressman W. C Hawley, who told of the pleasure of returning to the Willamette Valley from the ice-clad East. President F. G. Deckebach, of the Board of Trade, presided and introduced the speakers in a pleasing manner. Music for -the occasion was furnished by the McElroy Orchestra, the Stalwart Quartet, the Salem band and Mrs. Hallle Parrish Hinges. The meeting was one of the greatest "get-together" efforts ever made in Salem. H TO IURK YOUR VOTE INSTRUCTION'S TV B-VLIOTIXG ON INITIATIVE PETITIONS. Those Who Wish tho Bill to Become a Law Must Mark Cross Be fore Word "Yes." SALEM, Or., Feb. 12. (Special.) That there Is a general misunderstanding as to the manner in which ballots should be marked in voting upon referendum measures . Is indicated by the fact that In addressing a public meeting a few days ago a prominent speaker made the assertion that in order to defeat a ref erendum measures one must vote "Yes." This was an error. Ballots are to be marked in exactly the same manner as to both Initiative and referendum measures. Those who wish a bill enacted or a pro posed constitutional amendment adopted should mark their ballots before the word "Yes." ' Those who are opposed to tt should vote "No." Whether submitted under the referendum or proposed by Ini tiative, the measures appear upon the ballot in exactly the same form. A bill that has been passed by the Legislature and has been referred to the people stands in the same position as a meas ure that has been proposed by initiative. SALEM I OWN The fifing of a referendum petition has the effect of suspending an act of the Legislature and such an act cannot go into effect until it has received an af firmative majority of all the votes cast. Should the vote be a tie, upon either a referendum or an initiative measure, the measure would be defeated. No bill or amendment submitted to the people can become effective unless a majority of the voters voting upon that measure mark their ballots in the affirmative. Ballots not marked upon any particular measure are not counted either way as to that measure. . To illustrate the matter and make it perfectly clear, let a question be stated Just as it will appear upon the ballot. The university appropriation bill, for ex ample, was1 passed by the. .Legislature and was held up by the filing' of a. refer endum petition. The question will appear upon the ballot in the following form: Referendum Ordered by Petition. An amendment to amend sectipn 3329 of Bellinger & Cotton's Annotated Codes and Statutes of Oregon by lncreasijjB the annual appropriation for the support and mainten ance of the University of Oregon." Vote yes or no. 314 T. . ' 815. No. Those who wish the bill to become a law, thus increasing the appropriation, will make a cross (X) between the num ber 314 and the word "Yes." Those who wish the bill defeated and the appropri ation left as it is will make a cross be tween the number 315 and the word "No." Exactly the same procedure is had in marking the ballot as to any other ques tion. In each instance the title of the measure will be given, followed by p. A . TKK 1'URTHKR CAR. number and the word "Yes," and another number and the word "No." The ballot is to be marked between the number and the word "Yes" or "No" in each instance, according to whether the voter desires the measure adopted or rejected. HAMMOND IS OPERATED ON Mining Engineer Will Probably Re cover From Ordeal. SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 12.-John Hays Hammond, the mining engineer, was oper ated on' this morning for chronic appendi citis in his apartments at the Fairmont Hotel in this city tonight, according to the statement given out by his secretary, he Is resting easy, and there is every chance for his speedy recovery. Mr. Hammond came to San Francisco from Santa Barbara three days ago. He has been spending the Winter in the southern resort with his family. He was stricken with appendicitis some weeks ago, but it was thought that he might be able to recover without an operation until a few days ago, when It was decided to bring him to this city and have the operation performed here. As oon as he Is well enough to stand the trip Mr. Hammond will be taken south again. The operation was in every Mrs. J. C. Bryant, Who Will Repre sent Monmouth Normal School in the Coming State Oratorical Con test. way successful and unless complications set In there is 'no danger. ON THRESHOLD OF FORTUNE Just as the miners, employed by the Denny Dulin Mining Company, reached a depth of 105 feet in the incline shaft that Is being sunk, they discovered what they had been looking for many months a vast body of ore that carries from $15 to $75 per ton. At that moment, unfor tunately, the funds of the company were Insufficient to continue the work and it' stopped. A group of Portland men. following a careful investigation, took over the properties, placed a limited num ber of shares of treasury stock upon the local market and are said to be rapidly accumulating a development fund that will make the Denny Dulin a dividend paying Investment in a short time. This company has just moved its offices to 31 Mallory building, 208 Stark street. The stock Is being sold at 10 cents a share.

TRACK IN GOOD SHAPE Section Foreman Testifies There Was Nothing Wrong Engineer and Conductor Can Give No Rea son Funerals Held Today. FOREST GROVP. Or., Feb. 12. (Spe cial.) The coroner's jury empaneled to hold an inquest over the bodies of those killed in the wreck of the Sheridan local last night at this place, returned a ver dict simply that Sarah Bates, Howard W. Bates and J. A. McDonald came to their death in a wreck on the Southern Pa cific Railway, and that the wreck was caused by a broken rail. The jury empaneled by Coroner Brown, who came up from Hlllsboro, consisted of Charles E. Hines, C. Ev Geiger, A. B. Thomas, G. S. Allen, J. W: Cornelius and Walter Hodge. At the Inquest noth ing new in regard to the affair was brought out. Conductor . S. Thompson testified that he had been on this run for the past year and a half and was in charge of the train that was wrecked. He said that the train had not yet at tained full speed when the three rear coaches suddenly left the track. He could not tell the cause of the wreck and did not know any of those who were killed. The train crew remained caring for the injured and getting out the dead till 9:05, when they proceeded with the mail and baggage car with guch passen gers as cared to go on. Blmet Zimmerman, engineer on the train, stated that they were a minute ahead of time at Forest Grove, and waited for this time to pass before starting slowly. He said that they were going possibly 20 miles an hour when the wreck occurred. He has been on this run over three months, but said he could give no reason for the accident. Charles Crampe, section foreman, tes tified that he had been over the track where the wreck occurred every day, and considered the track in good condition. The break in the rail which threw the cars off the track, was about 15 or 20 feet from the east end of a 40-foot tres tle bridge. The engine and baggage and mail cars passed safely over the trestle. The first and second passenger coaches fell clear off the trestle, toppling over on their sides, the last car being tipped only half over. The damage to the track was slight and repairs could easily be made for the morning train to pass. The body of J. A. McDonald, one of the killed, was shipped to McMinnville this evening. He was a brickmason there and leaves a wife. The funeral of Mrs. Bates and her baby will be held at the Congregational Church tomorrow afternoon. RAIIROAD WlXiIi HOLD INQUIRY Southern Pacific Seeks to Determine Cause of Wreck. Official inquiry to determine the cause of the wreck of the Sheridan pas senger near Forest Grove Tuesday night will be held this morning by officials of the Southern Pacific Com pany in this city. The following men constitute the board of Inquiry: Gen eral Superintendent of Harrlman Lines M J. Buckley, Superintendent of South ern Pacific L. R. Fields, Division Engi neer Ballons and Master Alechanic Younger. There seems to be no doubt that a broken rail caused the derailment. That these accidents will happen occasional ly, despite every safeguard that the operating department of railroads can place around them, is the testimony of railroad men. Broken rails probably cause more derailments than any other one thing, but flaws in steel rails are hidden and there is said to be no" way to make every rail perfect The Oregon Railroad Commission will make an in vestigation today at Forest Grove, to place the responsibility, If possible, for the wreck. The injured are doing as well as could be expected, and It is believed all will recover ' The injured are being cared for for the most part In the towns near the scene of the wreck, and Assistant Superintendent Morris, of the Southern Pacific, who returned last night from Forest Grove, reported that all were doing well. B II. Grant, of Portland, who suf fers from a bruised hip, but was not seriously hurt, returned to the city yesterday, and it is expected he will have entirely recovered within a few days. The derailed cars will be brought back to the city today for repairs. One of the coaches was picked up yester day and placed on the track by the wrecking train, whi,oh left Portland yesterday morning, and' another car was blocked up, ready to be set back on the track. The wrecker stopped work at dark last night, but will re sume and complete its task today. The report yesterday that there was a fourth victim of the wreck, and that a young mam of Sheridan was lying dead beneath the derailed cars proved to be false. The wrecking crew proved the falsity of this report, for they blocked up the cars, so ,they could see beneath them. The equipment of the ill-fated Sheri dan passenger was damaged but little, and after ' the overturned cars are brought to the Portland shops and a few repairs made, and paint ajid var nish applied, they will look as good as new. But little of the woodwork on the cars was crushed. SETTLE THE BANK'S, AFFAIRS Haines Institution Has " Assets of $95,000 Liabilities, $75,000. FOREST GROVE, Or., Feb. 12. (Spe cial.)

Arthur Branson and Martin Miller are candidates for Assessor; J. H. Reece, for Recorder; B H. Evans, for' Sheriff, and G. W. Jones, for Clerk.

THE FOREST GROVE BANKS Statement From E. W. Haines Ex onerating W. B. Haines. FOREST GROVE, Or., Feb. 12. (To the Editor.)

He was present at the meeting; andln a heated speech de nied that he had dishonestly taken one cent from the bank. The Oregonian's account of the For est Grove meeting has not been cor rectly quoted by E. W. Haines, as the following extract will show: t To Whom It" May Concern In view of the statements which appeared in the daily papers, wherein I was quoted as saylns; that "I discharged w. B. Haines from my em ploy because of alleged shortages in my bank during- his Incumbency as bookkeeper or cashier," or words to that effect.

Dated at Forest Grove, Or., February 11, 10O8. It will be seen that The Orefronian Forest Grove correspondent waa care ful to say that It was "implied" that W. B. Haines' discharge had been for "an alleged connection with the de ficiency In the bank's vaults." If this was not the Inference, it is hard to understand why W. B. Haines should feel called upon to deny at the meeting that he "had dishonestly taken one cent from the bank." B. W. Haines has since that time seen fit to make a statement exonerating "W. B. Haines, which is, no doubt, what he should do In the circumstances.
