Justice Wright Refuses to Stop Con
tempt Proceedings on Ground
That He Expressed Opinion.
WASHINGTON. July 17. More pe
clflc details m the charges of contempt
of court now pending against them in
connection with the Buck stove Ac
Range case will be demanded by Sam
uel Oompers, John Mitchell and Frank
Morrison, labor leaders, in the District
of Columbia Supreme Court next Mon
day. This action was decided on by
their attorneys today after efforts to
stop the contempt hearing before Jus
tice Wright on the'ground that he had
already formed and expressed an opin
Ion against the labor leaders, and on
technical objections, had proved futile.
Continuance for a week was agreed
on after the prosecution had demanded
the two day allowed by law to answer
a motion of a bill of particulars.
It was contended that the members
of the committee were counsel for the
National Anti-Boycott Association, and
that the conclusion of the Bucks Stove
A Range Company's case did not 'stop
"their persecution of these defendants,
and therefore they were not qualified
to pass judgment upon the acts of the
defendants.
This motion was overruled, the court
holding that the members of the com
mittee were prosecutors and not called
on to exercise judicial functions. In
ruling, the court remarked that even
had the committee reported that there
were 'no reasonable grounds for con
tempt charges, such a reporf would
not have been received. Oompers' at
torneys at once protested that In view
of these expressions by the court they
should not be compelled to proceed, but
that Justice Wright should certify the
case to some other Justice for trial.
Justice Wright curtly dismissed the
protest with "You may proceed."
An exception was noted.

WRECK SURVIVORS
Man Testifies Captain Said He
Had Orders to Keep Pas
sengers on Ship.
SENSATION IS SPRUNG
Father of Drowned Second Officer
Tells of Belief That Santa Rosa
Was Ran on Rocks at
- Company's Orders.
LOS ANGELES. July 17. That Cap
tain Farla. of - the steamship Santa
Rosa told his chief engineer that they
would "either pull the ship off or break
it in two," was declared by George
Ryan today, when called to testify
concerning the grounding of that ves
sel July 9 off Point Arguello before
Government Boiler Inspectors Bolles
and Bulger.
Ryan, who now is a salesman, but
who was in tha United States Navy six
years, declared he heard the captain
make that remark to the engineer. He
also testified that he heard Farla say
that the snip was perfectly safe and
that he had orders to keep everybody
aboard.
One woman passenger on he Santa
Rosa testified that nearly all the offl
cers of the ship smelled strongly of
liquor the day of the wreck, and an
other woman declared at the hearing
that Captain Farla acted "like a 6-year-
old child."
Heivson Springs Sensation.
Robert Hewson, the aged father of
the drowned second officer, testified
late today that he believed that Cap
tain Farla ran the Santa Rosa on the
rocks in response to orders from the
owners, the Pacific Coast Steamship
Company. Mr. Hewson said he based
his belief on Information gathered by
his son, E. M. Hewson, who has been
at the scene of the wreck constantly In
the hope of recovering his brother's
body.
"Fourth Officer Mathiason told my
son, E. M. Hewson," testified the senior
Hewson, ' "that Farla ran the ship on
the rocks so that the company could
collect the insurance.
Sailors Declare Overworked.
In his testimony, Ryan declared thar
he thought the sailors who were
drowned were overworked after being
sent out in the small boat the day of
the wreck. He tesified that they left
the vessel about 6:30 in the morning,
but, although they rowed about it sev
eral times during the day, they did
not board It and were at work with
out relief until 4 o'clock in the after
noon, when they were drowned.
Ryan said It was clear the morning;
the vessel grounded; that the sea was
calm and that the land was plainly in
sight. He declared that the move-i
ments of the vessel led him to believe
that it was on a rock.
In common with other survivors,
Ryan said he thought Captain Faria
lacked executive ability.
Censure Urged for Captain.
Ralph C. Daniels, a teacher in the
Los Angeles schools, also thought the
captain deserved censure, as he seemed
to lack force and the ability to direct,
the witness said. Aside from that,
Daniels declared he had no criticism
to make of the personal bravery of
the crew or officers.
Mrs. A. G. Follows said she thought
the crew should have taken the passen
gers ashore when they asked them
She declared that nearly all of the of
ficers smelled strongly of liquor. Yet
when she tried to obtain some whisky
for her mother, who was chilled, she
said she was told there waa none on
board. . Later, however, she was given
a small flask.
Mrs. Follows said the sea was so
smooth in the forenoon that she could
have rowed ashore bad she had a row-
boat.
Woman Tells of Ordeal.
Mrs. Cora Varley, of Oakland, was
on a life raft which capsized. She was
swept under the waves four times, she
said, and then lost consciousness,
knowing nothing more until she was
revived by physicians ashore.
"Captain Farla acted like a 6-year-
old child, she declared. -
Miss Jessie Flaherty, of Long Beach,
said she thought the captain was very
nervous. She testified that she had
seen no officers drunk or discourteous.
She thought there had been too much
delay In getting the lifelines ashore.
Officers Appeared Sober.
Charles E. Brady, a shoemaker, de
clared that as far as he knew none of
the officers at any time showed signs
of intoxication.
Brady said that - when the captain
first was asked to take the passengers
ashore the sea was as "calm as an
Eastern millnond." He declared that
the officers appeared to be uncertain
as to what to do.
Brady added, in response to a ques
tion concerning suits for damages
which the survivors were said to be
planning against the company, that he
would be satisfied if be were accorded
reasonable damages In a reasonable
time."
R, w. Gough, formerly a second-class
electrlaian on the warship South Da
kota, testified that he thought the sea
too rough for the passengers to be
taken ashore at any time. He had no
complaint to make against the officers.
Renewing Complexions
'By Absorption
If your complexion is marred with
blotches, moth patches, pimples or
freckles. It's useless to gutter with
powders and paints, lotions, creams
and things, in an effort to get rid of
the trouble. Unless you have some
ability as an artist you'll mar your
appearance still more.
The new and rational way is to
take off the complexion itself, with all
Its offensive marks. Just get an ounce
of pure mercollzed wax at the drug
gist's and use at night same as cold
cream. Remove next morning with
water and soap, following with daeh
of cold water. The mercollzed wax
absorbs the half-dead scarf skin in
flaky particles, so gradually no one
guesses you're treating your face
unless it be by tne result, wnich is
truly wonderful. There's nothing like
it for restoring a natural, neaitny ana
beautiful complexion. Aunt Sally.

TOOK NEAL CURE,
DOUBLED INC0M
Experience of Port
land Former
Drinker
Business Man Relates Happy Se
quel to Three Days' Treatment
at the Neal Institute
There's a Portland merchant not far
from the Square who can prove that
the Neal Treatment for the Drink
Habit, which he took over three
months ago, is the best investment he
ever made.
My business was going to ruin, he
says. 1 was losing account alter ac
count. Customers who had been long
time standbys stopped coming into the
store because I had reached that stage
in the excessive drinker's plight where
I was always more or less under the
Influence of liquor."
Continuing the recital of experience
during the period which is now only
memory's nightmare, he said: "In
those old days my wife and children
never knew when or in what condition
I'd reach home. I wasn't very far from
the jumping off place when I saw my
self as I really was a business man
who was trading my business, my fam
ily's happiness and my own health for
the stuff that would land me on my
back dead broke, friendless, blear
eyed and whisky-soaked.
Sav. mavbe that mental picture oi
mv finish didn't make me do a little
thinking! I'd heard about the won
derful Neal .Drink Cures at the
Neal Institute, and I decided to
take the Treatment. I was treated
like a guest, and left there three
days after I arrived with all de
sire for liquor gone. I m a free man
once more. My business is double what
it was three months ago. The money
I ueed to spend for booze now goes to
the greater comforts for the wife and
children. Feel like drinking again?
Say, I'd just as leave tackle soft soap
as any alcoholic stuff. I'm through for
good."
Scores of men just like this Portland
merchant learned to sing the new "bat
tle cry of freedom" after three short
days spent at the Neal Institute.
It has .been demonstrated that per
sistent, gnawing desire and craving ap
petite for liquor are due to the accu
mulation of alcoholic poison In the sys
tem of the regular drinker. More
drink only, affords temporary relief.
The Neal Treatment will, in three short
days, eradicate every trace of alcoholic
poison from the system of the mostj
excessive drinker, leaving the patient'
in the same physical and mental con
dition he was in before he started to
drink.
Guests enjoy all the privileges and
comforts of home, club or hotel. Names
of patients are never divulged. Home
treatment can be given to those who
prefer it, or call, write or phone The
Neal Institute, 354 Hall St., Portland,
