EUGENE. Or., Nov. 23. (Special) Two
1'iinrtred people of "West Springfield -were,
forced to abandon their homes when a
sudden on-rush of water flooded that dis
trict today.
In one Instance a mother and two chil
dren climbed Into a tree where they spent
last n'Rht. being rescued thia morning-.
A family by the name of Ballsy, occupying-
a residence in the delta between
the river and the mill race here, were
rescued this morning- from their perilous
position after a narrow escape.
Idttle Ones Are in Peril.
The experience of Airs. M. A. Parker
and her four children was most thllllng-.
They resided In the river bottom. "When
the flood waters began to pour Into the
house, the family took refuge In the
barn, hut this structure became unsafe
and they climbed upon a fence. Finally
this Refuge began to sway by the force
of the current, and the homeless family
climbed Into a tree, the elder boy holding
h!s little Bister by the shoulders until day-
lirht when they were rescued by boat
men. '
The manufacturing district of Spring
field is deserted, and all the wheels are
silent. Poles of the electric transmission
line were prostrated and service to
Eugene was not resumed until late this
evening. The flood also broke the gas
mains, thereby causing much Inconveni
ence to consumers.
River Is Now Falling.
At 3 o'clock this afternoon the crest of
the flood had passed and by 6 o'clock
the waters had receded three feet. It is
thought all danger is past. The highest
point reached by the flood today was 21
feet.
River bottoms for a mile to the
north are under water, and telephone
lines to Springfield and Coburg are
down. The McKenzie River rose rap
Idly and Wednesday the Blue River
stage was unable to get nearer Eugene
than Leaburg. 21 miles up the McKen
xie Valley. The road between Eugene
and Springfield is several feet under
water. The ' little house known as
Coney Island resort. Just the other side
of Judklns Point, was washed away
during the night.
Stages Unable to Operate.
The stage from Coburg did not start
out for Its trip today, as Coburg is cut
off from Eugene In every direction.
The ferry at Jasper went out yes
terday. The Southern Pacific lost
about 100 cords of wood yesterday.
The water has reached the tracks of
the Southern Pacific at Saginaw.
As a result of the high water, a gas
main at the plant of the Northwestern
Corporation broke at 8:30 this morning.
All the linotype machines in the daily
newspaper offices were out of commis
sion for a few hours this forenoon until
gasoline burners could be Installed.
LOWER DOCKS ARE COVERED
Willamette at Portland Is Now Rag
ing TrTrrent.
Flood conditions prevail at Portland,
and the Willamette is a raging torrent.
The flood stage of 15 feet was reached
yesterday morning, and at 5 o'clock last
evening the official reading showed 15.8
feet. The lower dock at the foot of Ash
street was covered to a depth of 18
inches, and a number of the lower decks
of other docks are threatened.
The Willamette is falling at Eugene
and the Clackamas has receded rapidly
at Estacada. The Santiam River is fall

Much-Wedded Woman Tells "Last
Spouse That She Has Others
Living.
TjOS ANGEL.ES. Cal., Nov. 23. (Spe
cial.) That three weeks after his mar-
riase his wife told him she had two
other husbands living, is the ground on
which Adam Underwood, former private
secretary to Senator "W. A. Clark, bases
a petition for an annulment of his mar
Hjur'n to Mrs. Adeline Underwood. The
petition for annulment was filed today In
Judge Housers court.
Twelve, years she was married, accord
ing to Underwood, to Charles Schlmr,
manager of the Orpheum Circuit here.
Schlmr died) six years ago, leaving his
fortune to his young widow. Then she
married Peck Epplnger. After one year
Mrs. Epplnger sued for divorce.
The divorce was granted a short time
before the San Francisco flre but before
the decree became absolute, according to
Underwood and his attorney. Mrs. Ep
pinger met II. M. Klalr, a wealthy horse
man from Louisville. Ky. They were
married.
Because of lncompatabllity they sep
arated.
Mrs. Epplnger-Klalr met young Under
wood, who was then Senator Clark's pri
vate secretary. They were married
short time after. Only three weeks after
their marriage Mrs. Underwood is alleged
to have told her husband of her marriage
to Epplnger and to Klalr.
At first Underwood would not believe
her. Cautiously he began to Investigate.
He found Klalr and secured a deposition
from him. Later he found Epplnger In
San Francisco, and then Underwood sug
gested that hli wife visit her relatives in
San Francisco.

Serious Charge Made
by Passengers.
WIRELESS FAILED TO WORK
Apparatus May Have Been
Tampered With.
INQUIRY WILL BE RIGID
Vessel, Recently Destroyed Off Cal
ifornia Coast, Said to Have
Been Overlnsured by
Fully $50,000.
LOS ANGELES. Cal- Nov. 2S. (Spe
claL) Ugly rumors In connection with
the destruction of the steamer St. Croix
on Saturday, six miles off the coast, op
posite Point Dume, are to be 'investi
gated by John Birmingham, supervising
Inspector of the United States steam in
speotlon service, assisted by O. F. Bolles
and John T. Bulger, Inspectors of hulls
and boilers. .
A rumor emanating from passengers
on the ill-fated vessel has it that the St.
Croix was on fire before it sailed from
San Pedro at 10 o'clock Saturday morn
lnr. Steamship men say that, such a
condition could not have existed .with
out the knowledge of some member of
the crew.
Fifteen Miles From Wharf.
It Is stated that at the outside the
St. Croix could not have been more than
15 miles from the long wharf at Port
Los Angeles when the fire was discov
ered, and that the vessel could have
been turned and run to this port In the
time it required to run her In toward
shore, man the small boats and take off
the passengers.
According to one passenger, the wire
less operator was next to the last man
to leave the burning vessel, and was
dragged out "strugling to remain at his
post." Yet he was unable, according to
these reports, to' get his apparatus to
work so that land stations or passing
vessels might be advised of the plight
of the steamer.
The failure of the wireless apparatus
Is one of the matters that will probably
be Investigated thoroughly.
Pumps Were Working.
According to the chief engineer, the
pumps were working when the ship was
abandoned, and if it were so, the dyna
mos supplying current for the opera
tion of the wireless apparatus must
have been in running order. That this
apparatus was tampered with Is
charged. The St. Croix carried no
freight in her hold by which spontane
ous combustion might have been caused.
A San Francisco dispatch quotes
Charles H. Hamilton, one of the owners,
as saying that the St. Croix carried
175,000 insurance. When In Alaskan
waters the vessel was insured for ap
proximately J125.000.
The vessel was estimated to be worth
between $125,000 and $150,000. It was
wooden' steamer, overhauled and con-
erted Into a passenger boat. It cost
originally $85,000. It Is said the Im
provements and the cost of bringing it
around the Horn, which alone amounted
to $20,000. ran the amount to approxi
mately $125,000.
FOOTBALL "WOULDN'T THIS MAKE A DRUNKEN
Members of Police Commission
Named Are Xot Those "Sug
gested. SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 23. (Spe
ciaL) P. H. McCarthy, who was re
cently elected Mayors on the Union
Labor ticket, has selected the members
of the Police Commission, and the an
nouncement comes as a severe blow to
the union labor grafters who looked to
McCarthy to reward them for their
efforts In his behalf.
Not a labor man figures among those
chosen.
Joseph Leggett, an old-time Demo
crat and a man of sterling Integrity,
remains on the board, while the two
new men are to be William MacNevan,
member of a real estate firm, and
Louis Blot, who Is connected with
downtown wholesale commission firm
Not a man of those mentioned by the
union labor bosses for a place on the
commission was given consideration.
It is significant that the retention of
Leggett on the board is due to the
Influence of one of the rich and pow
erful law firms of the city.
The labor leaders are already dis
gusted with the Independence of Mc
Carthy. One of them said, when
asked how labor was faring with the
Mayor-elect: "Aw, you can't touch him
since he was elected."

NEW YORK, Nov. 23. (Special.) Offi
cials of the American Telephone & Tele
graph Company announced today that as
a result of its purchase of a large inter
est in the Western Union Telegraph Com
pany a new device would be adopted that

ness.
According to these plans it will soon
be possible for a telephone subscriber to
write out his dispatch on an electrlo ma
chine, which will reproduce it 'simulta
neously in the pffice of the telegraph
company. This will virtually make
telegraph office out of every telephone
station and will add enormously to the
facilities of the telegraph companies.
One of the highest officers of the tele
phone company said today that he be
lieved it would he possible after a while
for the telegraph company to accept mes
sages on a basis of 2 cent charges for
a 15-word message, instead of a 10-word
message.

Boy Was Grandfather's IdoL
What makes the tragedy unusually pa
thetic Is the fact that the grandson was
the grandfather's idol. Last night the boy
wenl to his grandfather's house as usual,
and. after a happy evening, tne two re
tired. The next the family heard of them
was early today, when, from behind the
smoke and flames that enveloped the
house the boy screamed:
'Oh. grandpa, get me out of here quick.
I'm burning to death."
"Yes, son; don't be afraid. Grandpa
will take you out," was the calm reply.
Then both went down to death. " The
rest of the family sleeping In the house
at the time Mrs. DeArmond, her daugh
ter. Mrs. Clark and Miss Nettie Boles-

house was two stories in height, and
burned fiercely.
The home was a large two-story frame
structure set well back from the street.
Congressman De Armond and his young
grandson were in a room on the south
side of the building, while Mrs. De Ar
mond and Mrs. Clarke had a separate
room on the opposite side of the house.
Nettie Boles. 20 years old, a servant, had
room on the west end. The servant
escaped without injury-
Mrs. De Armond Saved.

Dictation Is Felt. -
JOHN A SPOOR MAY LEAD
Change Blamed for Adverse Legisla
tion Rail Chiefs to Form Board
of Control to Win Fa
vor of Public.
CHICAGO, Nov. 23. (Special.) A move
ment which has not yet become well de
fined Is said to have been started to
place the Western railroads in control of
Western men, 'so that their policy no
longer will be dictated from Wall street.
Great secrecy Is being maintained re
garding the subject.
John A. Spoor, president of the Chicago
Junction Road, is said to be an important
member of the new coterie of railway
men who will shape the destinies of the
Western roads. Mr. Spoor denies a
knowlege of anything about the movement.-
but his recent entry Into the
board of the Chicago. Great Western
Road is said to be part of the plan.
Wall-Street Link Tires.
It is the opinion of nearly all Western
rail presidents that an almost constant
.linking of names of Western roads with
Wall street operators is responsible in
' "l larS measure for the wave of adverse
ii ii'iu.iuii i,, nebcin cm n. .ns a, njai in
of fact, the people own most of the
Western roads. Why not let the stock
holders run them instead of Wall-street
operators? is the question being asked.
With the idea of effecting a gradual
change In this respect there has been
general .movement toward electing
strong Western men to the various boards
of control.
Board of Control Planned.
It is understood that as soon as a suffi
cient number of strong Western business
men have been elected directors there
will be established a pseudo Board of
Control, which shall shape the policies
of all Western roads Insofar as those
policies affect the traveling and shipping
public. In this manner it is thought the
Western roads can get away from the
Wall-street stigma and so shape their
policies that the public will understand
that the railroad managers believe, in
truth, that the Interest of the public
and of the railroads Is one and the
same.
