MARSHFIELD. Or.. Aug. Jl.Spe
clal.) The Meam schooner Bndon,
owned by A. F. F.Mabrook & Co.. of San
Francisco, was wrecked this afternoon
off the mouth of the Coquille River bar
at Bandon. She will probably be a to
tal loss. She was valued at IS0.000, ex
clusive Of Cargo.
The Bandon had come up from San
Francisco with 100 drums of distillate
for Coos Bay. She stopped at Bandon
to take oivsome lumber and was to
come here to unload the distillate and
take on more lumber.
Vessel Fills Rapidly.
The Bandon was being towed out over
the Coquille bar by the tug Klyhlam.
when she struck on the south spit In
side the Jetty. The hawser parted and
fouled. The Bandon struck on a rock,
but later got off the rock end laid
broadside across the bar between the Jet
ties and rapidly filled with water.
It was hoped that tonight, during the
high tide, the vessel might be saved, but
pieces of the boat which are coming
ashore indicate that she la being badly
pounded and may be a total loss. Tug
Klyhlam and the life-saving crew, when
the steamer first struck, got a line
ashore and the passengers were taken
off. but the crew remained aboard. The
gasoline schooner Wllhelmlna, of Coos
Fay, was on the scene and tried to save
the cargo on the Bandon. but the bar
was so rough that she could not get
'near enough to the wrecked vessel to
give any help.

The Bandon was built by Kruse A
Banks, of North Bend, and was launched
July 2, iy7. She was 180 feet long and
39 feet beam and had a capacity for
carrying 00.w feet of lumber. She was
owned and operated by A. F. Estabrook
& Co.. of San Francisco, and cost JSOOOO.
She was a slater ship of the FifleM. i nd
was one of the beat boats ever t -ned
out at North Bend.
The wreck seems to be one of a pecu
liar train of misfortunes. The R. D.
Inm&n. another boat built by Kruse A
Banks shortly before the Bandon was
launched, was wrecked a few months
ago.
Bandon Fnlueky Vessel.
The Bandon has had several accidents.
She went ashore at Tillamook last "Win

CHINA DECLINES DEMAND
Will Not Investigate Murder, Al
though America and Britain Insist.
FEKIN. Aug. SI. China has declined
the proposal made by Sir John Jordan,
the British Minister, for a Joint investi
gation of the killing In San Su Province
last June of Hazrahali, an Indian sur
veyor attached to the meteorological ex
pedition under C. P. Clark. Henry P.
Fletcher, the American charge d'affairs,
concurred in the British demand.
China gives as her reason that it is im
possible to bring witnesses from San
Su Province. Sir John Jordan holds
that, as the Clark expedition was travel
ing under American passports, it de
volves on the American Government to
press for reparation. Hairahali was a
British subject, and Sir John explains
that it Is Impossible to, permit his mur
derers to go unpunished.

NEW YORK, Aug. 31. (Special.)
E. H. Harriman has promised his family
that he will give up hard work for a
long time and has Informed his assist
ant that it will be necessary for other
shoulders to carry the heavy burdens
known as the Harriman railway poli
cies. J. C. Stubb.s traffic director, and Jul
ius Kruttschnitt, director of mainten
ance and operation, on the Union Pa
cific and Southern Pacific lines, will be
responsible for the well-being of these
two huge organizations. The difference
in their position is that they will not
have dally orders from Harriman head
quarters. Lovett His Spokesman.
In the days gone by, when he was
sick, Mr. Harriman would lie In bed
with two or three telephones at his side
and a telegraph Instrument in the room
adjoining, keeping In close touch with
the chief men of the systems under
his control. All this has been given
up. The men mentioned will run the
railroads and will be responsible to the
various boards, and not to Mr. Harri
man personally, as they have been In
the past.
Mr. Harriman will hereafter speak
through Robert S. Lovett, counsel of the
Union Pacific and Southern Pacific.
Orders which he has been In the habit of
giving direct to Mr. Stubbs and Mr.
Kruttschnitt and others will now go
through Mr. Lovett. and Mr.' Harriman
has promised his physicians and his fam
ily that he will originate as few of these
orders aa he can.
Schiff Works Out Plans.
Judge Lovett's responsibilities have
been Increased ten-fold. His right-hand
man will be William Mahl, now controller
of the Union and Southern Pacific sys
tems. The two will deal with the bank
ers, who are so Important .in all the
Harriman lines.
These plans are being carefully
worked out by James Jacob Schiff, of
Kuhn, Loeb & Co., and their
subordinates
The big man in the Harriman railway
world in the future will be Judge Lovett.
Harriman Is Much Better.
ARDEN, N. T.. Aug. 31. Reports from

PRESIDENT VISIT PORTLAND
Inquire Into Ballinger
Pinchot Row.
MAY FIGHT IT OUT IN HOUSE
Taft Will Ask for Laws to Aid
Conservation.
AS ROOSEVELT PROPOSED
Forestry and Reclamation Will Be
Bones of Contention Move for
More Liberal Coal Land
Laws for Alaska.
WASHINGTON. Aug. 81. (Special.)
Congress is expected by all sides of the
Ballinger-Pinchot controversy to investi
gate the various phases of that row dur
ing the session next Winter, unless
President Taft shall intervene and settle
the difficulty to the satisfaction of all
concerned before that time. This new
turn of affairs is not looked forward to
with relish by the friends, of the Taft
administration, who realize that the issue
probably will be forced -upon them In
Congress by the far Western members,
who have fought -the Roosevelt policies
and who now believe they have an op
portunity to get more liberal terms from
the administration.
- Strengthen Conservation Laws.
As a matter of fact, it is generally
understood here that the policy of the
administration will be to ask Congress
to strengthen the laws' of conservation
along the lines of the Roosevelt policies.
In that event Secretary Balllnger at least
will be placed in the position of having
to fight the friends who think they are
helping him by taking up the cudgels
against the forest and reclamation
services.
That the Interior Department and the
for'.stry and reclamation, services will be
bones of serious contention In Congress
this Winter was strongly indicated to
day. The House committee on agricul
ture controls practically all of the ap
propriations under which the Forestry
Bureau operates, and hitherto it has
made it Its business to inquire specifically
into the workings of that bureau.
Amend Coal Land Laws.
Likewise, the House committee on ter
ritories two years ago requested the In
terior Department to furnish Congress
with data relating to Alaska railroads
and coal -lands, but, after continuing the
investigation for a short period, the
Department gave It up. As a strong
effort is to be made in Congress next
Winter to -increase the amount of coal
land which may be held under one man
agement. It is believed almost unavoid
able that Congress or one of Its commit
tees must Investigate the conservation
row.
Ballinger Going to Capital.
Mr. Ballinger. it was announced at the
Department today, is expected to arrive
in Washington next Friday. The Pur
pose of his coming and length of his stay

water following a cloudburst In the hills
to the north tonight and 130 buildings
were partially or completely destroyed.
It is reported that two women and four

hour tonight it was impossible to secure
verification of this report, as everything
Is in darkness aud confusion.
The cloudburst occurred on the sum
mit of low hills to the north of the
camp at 6:40 o'clock this evening. In a
few moments a three-foot wall of water
was pouring down the slope, covering
three miles from the summit to Main
street, with a speed of a railroad train.
All Business Houses Flooded.
The flood rushed Into the street, which
lies In a hollow and forms a general
drainage channel, and every business
house on the east side was flooded to a
depth of from one to four feet.
Several structures were torn from their
foundations and floated some distance
down the street, while the crest of the
flood was covered with furniture, ani
mals and all sorts of debris.
Water Is Ten Feet High.
Gathering force as it poured down the
channel, the flood swept into Squatter-
town, half a mile further down. The
water formed a wall 10 feet high as it
crashed into the structures, overturning
them and demolishing them. The work of
devastation went on in the night. Be
fore the wave had passed, BOO persons
were homeless and their property was
piled in a tangled heap in the basin at
the foot of National Hill.
Daring Rescues Made.
Several daring rescues were made dur
ing the flood. Mrs. Hobcloff and her two
children clung to the wreckage of their
home as it floated down the street, and
were rescued by Emll Grutt and P. R.
