Steamer Sinks Soon After Striking
Rock on Northern Coast Story
of Operator's Heroic Efforts to
Save Lives) Is Thrilling.
SEATTLE,- An. 27. A wireless dis
patch from Ketchikan says that every
passenger on the steamer Ohio, which
struck a rock and sank off Steep Point.
on the east side of Hlskish Narrows, B.
C. at 1 o'clock Thursday morning, was
saved. The revised list of dead now is:
. F. J. Stephen, purser, Seattle.
Ceorge E. Eccles. wireless operator,
W innlpeg.
Two seamen, names not given. .
The quartermaster, name not given.
Wireless Operator Hero.
Rescue of the survivors was due to the
wireless telegraph- operator who sent -out
a call for help that brought the steamers
Kingfisher, Humboldt and Rupert City
and was himself lost.
Another wireless dispatch says the
Ohio sank In three minutes. This prob
ably means that she was on the reef a
considerable time and that the passen
gers were all off before the ship' slid off
into deep water, which she did so speed
ily as to carry down five of the crew.
Captain Sends Report.
A brief report received by the Alaska
Steamship Company tonight from Cap
tain John Johnson saye:
Ohio struck rock 1 A. M. August 28
off Steep Point. Afterward ran her to
ward shore In Carter Bay. She now lies
submerged in six fathoms forward and
12 fathoms aft. Purser, wireless oparator,
quartermaster, one steerage passenger
and one soldier missing. Ship damaged
on port side on bottom. Some bulkheads
are gone. Impossible to say the extent
of the damage. Captain and four men
are standing by the wreck. Passengers
and crew were picked up by fishing boat
Kingfisher and landed in Swanson Bay.
Send Instructions to Carter Bay."
Perkins Yacht 'Goes to Aid.
Messages received from Ketchikan,
Alaska, state that George W. Perkins'
private yacht Yucatan left there this
morning and will stop at Swanson Bay
to pick up Captain Johnson and the mem
bers of his crew who are still there,
The United Wireless Company, one of
whose operators, G. E. Eccles, of, Winni
peg, perished In the sinking of the steam
ship Ohio, received an account of the
disaster from Operator Booth at Ketchi
kan late today. Booth saya in a dis
patch to headquarters of the company
in New York:
Operator's Story Thrills. '
"About 1 A. ' M. I was sitting with
my receivers clapped to my ears, hav
ing Just finished working with Operator
Eccles on board the Ohio, when I was
startled by hearing him call: C. Q. !..
C. Q. P.' I at once answered, and he
sent the following message: 'Ohio
struck a rock steamer sinking send
aid immediately or everybody will be
lost.'
"The steamships Humboldt and Ru
pert, of the HcKenzle Brothers Steam
ship Company, happened to be near and
they both called the Ohio, asking her
for latitude. Eccles gave It Immedi
ately, and the Rupert flashed back that
they would change their course and
stand by the Ohio, as soon as possible.
Meanwhile Eccles sent another message
saying: 'Ohio sinking fast cannot hold
out. Passengers being taken off In
small boats. Captain and crew will
stick to the last.' -
Sends "Good-bye" and Is Lost.
"The Humboldt and Rupert both re
plied that they were headed for the
Ohio and would pick up The passen
gers. Then came the final message
from the Ohio. It was never finished
'Passengers all off and adrift in small
boats.' It said. 'Captain and crew go
lng off in the last boat, waiting for
me now Good by."
"I was unable to get him again, and
knew he had gone down with his ship."
Developments show that Eccles played
the role of a hero to the end and sacri
ficed his own life In an effort to save
the lives of others. With Purser Stephen,
Eccles wss among the first to aid the
other officers of the vessel in calming
he distracted passengers, to the extent
that order might be maintained and great
lose of life prevented.
Iiife Lost Aiding Others.
While Eccles was flashing out through
the blackness of the night the appeal of
the stricken ship, boats were lowered and
passengers and crew made safe there
in. The greatest speed possible In trans
ferring those aboard the vessel was nec
essary, as the fatal impact had toiff so
great a hole In the bow of the vessel
that there was no hope of her remaining
afloat for more than a very short time.
Learning that ouo" -'the soldiers had
not been transferred to the lifeboat and

statement that a bumper crop Is ex
pected Is far from true."

GREAT FALLS, Mont.. Aug. 27.
After several days' strenuous work, the
fire In the Billings & Northern tunnel
has been put out, but it will be some

one enj! of the tunnel, about 15 feet
of the timbering, has been saved, and
SOO feet at the other end. About 1500
feet Is destroyed.
Most of the tunnel runs through rock

-When interviewed concerning the re
sult of ' the trial of Insurance Commis
sioner John H. Schively by the Senate,
sitting as a court of Impeachment, Gov
ernor Hay gave out the following state
ment: -
- "The acquittal of Mr. Schively on all
the charges in the articles of impeach
ment by the vote of 14 Senators was a
surprise to me, . for I had given little
credence to the rumors in circulation
during the closing days of the trial that
the defense had a dependable line-up of
a sufficient number of Senators who
would vote to acquit, regardless of the
evidence or the facts. It seemed to me
altogether incredible that a number of
Senators would assume such a preposter
ous position in violation of their solemn
oath and disregard of their sworn duty.
Own Testimony Shows Guilt. ,
T am unable to understand how any
man, much less a man occupying the high
position of Senator of the State of Wash
ington, could so stultify himself as to
vote for an acquittal after hearing the
evidence submittted and proved beyond
a reasonable doubt by the board of man
agers. The admission - made by the re
spondent on the stand was a conviction
in itself. There is. absolutely no question
as to this. . The very substantial vote of
26 for conviction to 14 for acquittal shows
that a large majority of the Senators
were firmly convinced that the Insurance
Commissioner was guilty as charged.
'Soon after arriving at the Capitol
last Winter I began to '' hear strange
stories of how some of our state officers
were conducting' their departments. No
honorable man could allow these stories
to be repeated to him day after day
without demanding an immediate and
thorough investigation.
Probe Early Exposed Scandal.
"In time I was forced to accept the po
sition where, as head of the state gov
ernment, I could not In justice to myself
as a state officer allow such stories to
be scattered abroad. , I commenced a
quiet Investigation to satisfy myself, and
the further I probed the more- satisfied
I became that the stories were based
upon more than Idle rumor. Whenever
I attempted to lift the lid to see what
was going oh Inside the pot I invariably
found certain officials sitting on the Ud,
shouting, 'everything Is straight fiere; we

neath a line of freight cars on the North

ances he had been killed by a train and
the general belief prevails that he had
fallen asleep on the track and a train
had run over him.
It has developed that Gannon was seen
after midnight with a stranger and that
the dead man asked the stranger the way
to a certain stable. The stranger said
he would shpw him where it was. This
was the last seen of Gannon ulive and
nothing has since been seen or the

Farman Plays Dark Horse.
Farman's victory was a complete sur
prise. He had been preparing his ma

the field until today, except for a few
practice flights, and had been almost for
gotten. Indeed, after he started, keeping
close to the ground, while Latham and
the others were soaring high in the air,
Farman attracted no attention until he
had flown 80 kilometers. Then, suddenly.
the watchers woke up only to discover
that he had gone out carrying petrol
enough for five hours' flight and equipped
with a cooling revolving motor.

Getting Broken Leg and Two
I Staying In Are Bruised,
ROSEBURG, Or., Aug. 27.-SpeciaU
Presence of mind last night on the part
of William McLean, driver of the Rose-burg-Marshfield

Those hurt are S. A. Gordon, of Pendle
ton, ankle broken: Mrs. G. P. Dean, of
Grants Pass, painfully bruised; an aged
man named WMck, who lives near this
city, badly shaken up and bruised.
The accident occurred just above the
Mountain House, 20 miles from here. One
of the four horses of the stage was a
high-spirited animal whose tall had been
fastened to the singletree. He became
frightened and started to plunge madly.
This scared the other horses, and all be
gan a dash down the precipitous moun
tain road. Seeing that he could not con
trol them, McLean turned them into the
bank.
By this time most o"f the 11 passengers
had Jumped off, only Mrs. Dean and
Wick remaining in the vehicle. Gordon
had been hurt when he jumped. None
of the horses was Injured.
The injured people were taken to Res-
ton, two miles from the scene of the acci
dent and surgeons were sent from here.
Later the injured were brought here.
This place is considered one of the worst
on the line from Roseburg to Coos- Bay.
Walter Lyon, of Marshfield, occupied a
front seat on the stage. When the horse
began kicking, he lost his balance and
was thrown out of the stage, escaping
with only s. few scratches. Harry Boone,
who sat on the front seat with Mr. Lyon,
was thrown 30 feet down the grade, suf
fering a sprained back. Mr. Wick Is
the father of one of the proprietors of
the North Bend Brewery.

ARDEN, N. Y., Aug. 27. Whatever
be E. H. xlarriman's ailment, whatever
his true condition, the public is not to
know until he and his family deciCi
that such an announcement is oppor
tune. All avenues of information were
carefully guarded today and tonight,
but rumors were spread broadcast that
Mr. Harriman was about to be operated
upon. . This supposition was strength
ened by the arrival here of two oxygen
tanks and a collapsible cot such as Is
used in hospitals.
Signs Operation Is Near.
Coincident with the arrival of these
requisites to an operation came two
men from New York, one of them car-,
rying what appeared to be a black bag
of a surgeon. One of the men, it was
said, was Dr. George W. Crllle, of Cleve
land, an eminent specialist In abdominal
surgery. According to report, he was
summoned to assist Dr. W. G. Lyle of
New York, who has been Mr. iiarri
man's physician throughout his illness.
No Operation, Says Gerry.
No confirmation of the report that
there was to be an operation on Vower
Hill could be had. On the other hand
those who spoke of Mr. Harriman today
were inclined toward optimism. Robert
L. Gerry of New York, Mr. Harrlman's
son-in-law, said:
"I have Just left Mr. Harriman sitting
on the porch. He was talking to some
workmen. He has passed a good part
of the day out there In a chair."
Mr. Gerry denied the operation report
and said Dr. Lyle was the only physi
cian in attendance.
A. C. Ford, superintendent of the es
tate, confirmed Mr. Gerry's statement.
