The crtppled niftnifr Allium1 arrived

Too B.ir aaltfntc fr a tuir to come to

one went out and. after picking up a
ralllna rrhooner In plain view of the
Alliance, returned to port.
At no time, however. was the steam
er in any immediate danger, aa Cap
tain Lofsted able to keep her well
off sf.or.
How the aroident occurred that broke
the steamer's rudder Is not known, but
Is supposed to have -been canned by a
sunken Jos; or a rrosa-ea, for at the
time the vessel was In deep water
about elprht rniles off shore. This was
at 5:li on Sunday ruornlna;. durlnic
pleanant weather and a comparatively
r.ilm sea.
(all for Aaaleaaee Aaawered.
A call for asistanc was sent to
Marshfield and word was received that
a tua W41 comtnf. Durlnar that day
the s:eamrs Bear and President came
alonar. but a5sistance from them waa
r Sused. aa tne tua was expected at
any moment, and alter waiting; in vain
until ilondav afternoon, the Alliance
took a hawser from the Nome City and
started on the return trip to the Co
lumbia Klver. as a southwest Kale was
coming Uf and the seus were p ttins;
rouarh. .
The Alliance sai;ed from Vere at 10:30
on Friday morning with 27 passengers,
f ur of whom were women. She ar
rived off Coos Bay the following after
noon and as a strong; wind wax blow
Ins; and th bar was rough she beat
about all night waiting: for daylight
b fore heading; into port.
"Everything was In good shape. said
Captain Lofatedt In speaking of his ex
perience, "until suddenly, at 5:13 on
S'in.lay morning, the rudder broke, but
what caused it I do not know. We im
mediately rigged up a Jury rudder by
using ballast buckets and were thus
ahle to steer the vessel and keep her
nut of danger. The sea was not rough,
the weather was fine and we were fully
eight miles oft shore.
Taar Reported te Reaew.
t sent a wireless to Marshfleld for
a tug and received word that one was
roming. During the day the steamers
rVar and President hove in sight and
offered assistance, but as I received
another message that a tug was corn
trig I refused their aid. All that day
we cruised around, with the jury rud
der, but were coming slowly to the
north. In the night the wind fresh
ened from the southwest so that we
rould nut use the Jury rudder and I
et some sail and headed off shore.
"When morning came I looked for
the tug. but none was in sight, although
one came out on Sunday to get a sail
ing schooner. About noon the Nome
City came up and stood by us for two
hours, while we at til malted for a tug.
The sea was getting fad by that time
and. fearing a heavy gale. I signaled
the Nome City to put a hawser on
h--ard. a thing that was accomplishel
after about three hours' work and at
7, o'clock that evening we were in tow.
"Tnree hours later. however, the
hawser parted and that night wo had
a hard time to k.-pp otf the shore and
at one time we were within five miles
of the bearh. The Nome City stood by
until daylight, when we got another
hawser aboard nl after that we came
along in good order.
All Board Well.
' Every one on board la we.'l and aside
froai the broken rudder the vessel Is
not Injured. The r-'tigers behaved
frInliiLy and 1 ne er saw a finer lot
on board a ship. They knew nothing
f the accident for several hours after
U occurred and by that time we had
the vessel mo we could handle her.
"On reaching the Columbia we trans
ferred the Coos flay passengers to the
Breakwater In the lower harbor, but
those for Eureka are on the Alliance
in the stream and will bo taken to
rprtland."
"inlr two of the passengers came
a shore and both spoke in the highest
terms of Captain Ifstedt and the way
he handled the disabled craft and said
tere was no excitement among tha
rassengers. as all realised they were
In no Immediate danger.

BURKHART MAKES
PLEA IN DEFENSE
Vancouver Policeman, Being
Tried for Murder, Tells
Story of Shooting.
POLICE CHIEF TESTIFIES
Prehbj lerian Preacher Among Thot-e
Who Give Evidence as to Good
Character of Defendant Who
Killed Army Alan.
VANCOUVER, Wash., Jan. 10 (Spe
cial.) Roy A. Burkhart, being tried for
murder in the second degree, having
shot and killed Trumpeter Lewellyn,
of Company A. First Infantry. Septem
ber SO, testified in his own behalf to
day, and the hundreds of spectators In
the courtroom, packed to overflowing,
hung breathlessly on his every word
and movement, as he reviewed the
tragedy for which ha is now being
tried. Mrs. Burkhart, with the aid of
two crutches, also testified In behalf
of her husband.
Perhaps the most unusual testimony
was by Professor Le. Amos Dillon,
teacher of mathematics, and Professor
Wesley C. Brown, teacher of physics,
chemistry and botany In the Vancouver
High School, who had worked out the
angle of the bullet, supposed to hav.
been fired from a certain point. Mr.
Brown waa handcuffed with the same
handcuffs Leweliya had on when he vh
shot and raced down Washington street,
tn front of the city hall, last night at
10:30 o'clock. Professor Dillon making
observations on the angle of his body
when he started and ran.
At o'clock the defense rested and
th. state will begin rebuttal at
o'clock tomorrow morning. The case
will go to the Jury probably some time
tomorrow afternoon.
kief mt Police Testifies.
John Secrlst, Chief of Police, testi
fied to siring the policemen orders to
pick up Lewellyr. and Bertha Wells,
when they had tha evidence on them.
The defense, in outlining Its case,
said:
"We will not deny that Burkhart
shot Lewellyn and took the man's life,
but we will show that under th. law
an officer can shoot to kill if his pris
oner Is running from blm after he com
mands him to halt, if he be charged
with felony. We think that this was
a Justifiable homicide," continued Roy
C Sugg, "and we will prove that Lew
ellyn was a bad man and Bertha Wells
waa a street-walker. We will prove
that a felony was committed and that
Lewellyn was not arrested for a simple
misdemeanor."
A. J. Blgham. police Judge, testified
that on September 20, Bertha Wells
was In his court and charged with
vagrancy: that he sentenced her to SO
daye in Jail, with the privilege of serv
ing 10 days and paying the remainder
of the fine.
Woman's Reputation Told.
Wynne Gasoway. who has charge of
the night police shift, and who was
with Burkhart on the night Lewellyn
and Bertha Wells were arrested, testi
fied that he had told Burkhart of
Bertha Wells' reputation and that
Lewellyn waa "rustling" or soliciting
for her. Gasoway then told of going
with Burkhart to room 8. the Bruns
wick rooming-house, and about tha ar
rest of Lewellyn and the Wells woman.
Lewellyn made a dash to get away,
said Gasoway. who told about running
to the curb, yelling "Halt," and firing
one shot.
Professor Dillon said that the bullet
In passing through a body eight Inches
thick, at the angle at which Lewellyn
was shot, would naturally drop .53 of
one Inch. If the gun were Sfe feet high
and the point of entering tha body were
Sr feet high. When these professional
testa were made the ground was cov
ered with snow. When the actual run
was made by Lewellyn. the ground was
supposed to be dry.
professor Brown told about being
handcuffed last night and making runs
for tests. Professor Brown said that
th. average man does not get much
benefit In speed from using his hands,
and that he was not retarded much In
running when he had on the hand
cuffs. Burkhart. the defendant, told a
straight story when called to the stand,
showing no animation or heat until he
was asked by the state if he Intended
to hit Lewellyn when he shot. H. re
plied emphatically that h. did not.
Dereadsst AlH S9.
Tha defendant said he would be 29
years old this month, having been born
In Pavla County, Missouri. He came
to Vancouver about four years sro
and last November was given charge
of the city prisoners to work. Ha had
acted as special police officer several
times. On September 1 he was given
a position aa regular policeman and
about ten daya later got the gun he
carried. He aaid the first time he had
fired it was when he shot on the night
Lewellyn was killed. Burkhart said
that Gasoway had told htm September
1 that they wanted to arrest Lewellyn
and the Wells woman "for a felony."
Said Burkhart:
"I did not see Lewellyn when he
started to run. but I heard his feet and
I started after htm Immediately. He
had 12 to 15 feet start of me. I hol
lered to him to halt and went running
after him. I ran and hollered 'half a
second time. and. as I heard a shot
fired behind me, I pulled my gun and
fired, running at the time. I merely In
tended to frighten him and make him
stop. He was in the act of stepping
off th. sidewalk."
It was brought out by cross-examination
that Burkhart alleges that
Lewellyn. handcuffed, ran 120 reet,
while he, chasing him. ran about 60
feet, and Burkhart said he waa run
ning aa fast as he could.
Bwrfchart Sorry He Snot.
Burkhart helped Lewellyn to the po
lice station, where he said to Lewellyn.
"My friend. I am very sorry this bas
happened. I had no Intention to hurt
you."
"I don't blame you in the least. I
had no business to run away," Burk
hart says Lewellyn told him.
lewellyn waa S feet 7 inches and
weighed 140 pounds. Burkhart Is

was a missionary to Hawaii and later
came to Oregon and served the In
dians around Oregon City and Forest
Grove, which was at that time known
as Tualatin Plains.
Before Oregon became a state she
labored faithfully with the Indians,
teaching them how to sew and make
bread. Falling In health, she was
brought to Forest Grove. When she
saw the beautiful group of oak trees
which stand today on the campus of
Pacific University, she gave it aa her
desire to be burled under a certain
tree which she thought to be the most
beautiful on the campus. This tree,
which now stands as a monument to
the life of this historic woman, is
located at the entrance to the campus.
Boole Heroine Outlined.

Mrs. Dve today is to be the heroine of
a book which she Is working on at

pioneers of this place and many places
and incidents of local color.
President Ferrin said, in opening the
meeting, that It was 68 years ago,
January 10, 1854, that Pacific was
granted her charter. Though the school
dates from 1849, he explained that only
Tualatin Academy was incorporated
at. that time. The first president. Syd
ney H. Marsh, camo in 1854 at the age
of 28 years.
Since that time there have been but
four presidents at the head of the
school. Three out of the five presi
dents were graduates of the university
of Vermont. At the time Pacific se
cured Its charter the state of Oregon
was not in existence.
Original Bill Preserved.
The Institution has preserved one of

ton counties. Section 1 of the bill
reads: "Be It enacted by the Legisla
tive Assembly of the Territory of Ore
gon that there shall be established in
Washington County an Institution of
learning for the instruction of persons
of both sexes In science and literature,
to be called the Tualatin Academy and

THE REMEDY
FOB SQBESULCERS
The combination !of healthful vegetable ingredients of which S. S. S. is
composed, makes it an especially desirable and effective remedy in the treat
ment of sores and ulcers of every kind. - Since aa impure condition of the
blood is responsible for the trouble, a medicine that can purify the blood is
the only hope of a successful cure; and it should be a medicine that not only
cleanses the circulation, but one that at the sama time restores the blood to
its normal, rich, nutritive condition. S. S. S. is lust such a remedy. It is
made entirely of healing, cleansing vegetable properties, extracted from na
ture's roots, herbs and barks ol the forest and fields. It has long been
recognized as the greatest of all blood purifiers, possessing the qualities
necessary to remove every impurity in the blood. When S. S. S. has punned
the circulation, and strengthened and enriched it, sores and ulcers heal read
ily and surely, because they are no longer fed and kept open by a continual
discharge into them of irritating disease-laden matter from the blood. S. S. i.
brings about a healthy condition of the flesh by supplying it with rich,
nourishing blood and makes a permanent and lasting cure. Book on Sores
and Ulcers and any medical advice mailed free to all who write.
