The dis masted and water-logged schooner Oce ania Vance, Captain Olsen, was towed Into Port Townsend Bay Sunday by the steam schooner Riverside, which picked up the Vance in a water-logged condi tion off WHIapa Harbor yesterday after the Vance had battled for ten days against wind and sea. The Vance, with a crew of 15 men sailed from St. Helens, Or., for Los Angeles, with a cargo of lumber, cross Ing out of the Columbia River Novem ber 5. Within 24 hours the schooner began to settle, heavy seas, driven by a high wind, having opened seams in her. wooden hulL Part of the deck load of lumber was Jettisoned, and the men manned the pumps, the gasoline engine being out of order. The wind Increased to a gale and the rest of the deckload broke loose. smashing the rail and unstepping the mainmast. Then the wind abated, and Captain Olsen had hopes of making port, but the heavy seas continued and the remainder of the deckload went overboard. Last Tuesday a 70-mile gale struck the water-logged schooner, and the mainmast and mlzzenmast were carried away. The cabin was pounded to pieces and every lifeboat was swept over board. After a few hours the blow subsided, and Captain Olsen found him self off Tillamook rock. Sail was made on the foremast and the schooner kept off the rocks, mov ing slowly northward until Saturday morning, when she was off Willapa Harbor, when she was sighted by the steamship Yukon, which communicated with the Riverside, the latter vessel taking the Vance In tow.

NEWS REPORT CRITICISED Joseph Smith Says He Favored Re Election of Governor Hawley, but Declares Body Leans Toward Republicanism. BOISE, Idaho, Nov. 18. "The Mor mon Church has never and did not In the recent election attempt to dictate or influence politics in the state of Idaho, and any statement that it did is not true. Individually, Mor mons voted their preference, a right that they have, and they may have used their influence where tney live, They have as much right as individuals to do this as any member of the Metn odist or any other church."' This was the statement made ny Joseph Smith, president of the Church of Latter Day Saints here tonlgnt. when interviewed immediately iouow In ir a religious and political address in defense of Hormonlsm, before a large audience in the local Latter Day Saints Church. It was his first appearance in Boise, and he spoke forcefully on politics, denying: reports of church dom ination. DOlitlcally. He took advantage of the opportunity to answer criticisms of the church made here. "Too can tell Governor Hawley for me that the Mormons, and that includes mystelf. have always considered mm a generous, kind and big man," continued President Smith, "and if I had any m fluence with the members of the Mor mon Church politically, I would have endeavored to secure his re-election. I would like to have seen . him r- President Smith scored the press an its writers who, he declared, had writ, ten columns of untruths about church influence in politics. They say that I am responsible iot Utah going for President Taft," he de clared durlnsr his discourse. "I am no ore responsible for man going lor Taft than I am for Vermont, ana i am sure I am not responsible for the lat I city the ignorance of those writ ers of the press who have been writing columns of untruths about the Mormon Church, charging it with almost every thing. It Is Ignorance, and those who write such falsehoods can only oe pil led. 'The Mormon Church is a democratic institution. It is Republican in its tendencies politically, a right that It has. But there are no rulers in the Mormon Church who seek to dictate. The Mormons believe in upholding the Constitution; they believe that the Con stitution was inspired. I have no pa tience with those who are continually being buffeted about from one thing to another politically, be they Republic ans, Democrats, or Bull Moose. I be lieve in standing solidly by principle." CHANNEL BORE HOPE RISES Tnnnel Connecting France and Eng land Finds New Favor. PARIS, Nov. (Special.) The Entente Cordlale with England and the progress of aviation have com bined to give the project of a Channel tunnel a new and vigorous lease of life on this side of the Channel. The sixth commission appointed by the Counsel! Municipal of Paris has just presented a report which declines any longer to take seriously the alleged objections to the . scheme.- Technical experts, according to It, have no dif ficulty In showing that the fears of a French or German Invasion by means of a tunnel, cannot be justified. "It would always be easy , for either fleet to destroy the open approach to the tunnel on its side of the water," says the report. "And there Is another line of defense which is much more prac ticable. Since the system would be electric ail that would be necessary would be to cut off the current. Al ternatively, the exit of the trains could be banked up without difficulty. The invasion theory will not Btand the test of serious examination." The commission goes on to contend, further, that in the face of the Entente Cordlale between the two countries, op position to the tunnel is childish and out of date, and the members beg those who still entertain the idea to "lift their eyes to the heavens." They will see there, circling at will in the air, huge birds that defy all attempt to set barriers to their progress who could binder these from swooping the beginning. Every day brings greater perfection in its equipment, and adds tenfold to the daring and as surance of the man who guides it In flight. What possible value, then, have Imaginary objections, which good sense and a sane appreciation of the facts and conditions of the case have al ready wiped from the slate? According to the report, if, by the wave of a wand, the tunnel were to be cut through tomorrow and transit by land made Immediately possible, it would have at once " a clientele of a million passengers. But it would be six or seven years in all probability before the Channel tunnel was com pleted. Statistics show that cross-Channel traffic Increases by 56.000 passengers yearly. Consequently by the earliest date the tunnel could be ready it might anticipate a clientele of nearly 1,500.000 passengers. SHOW BRINGSBIG PROTEST Spectators Resent Cruel Perform ance in English Theater. SCARBOROUGH. Eng.. Nov. 16. (Special.) An exciting scene at a. music-hall, in which the spectators rose in a body and protested against the performance, was described to the Scarborough magistrates today, when John Hendrickson proprietor of an ani mal circus, was summoned for cruelty to a small bear and a monkey. It was alleged that on Monday night defendant introduced at the people's Palace and Aquarium what was des cribed as a "fight between the bear and the monkey." The latter had tied to its neck a heavy-weight, which pre vented It from moving easily; and a small black bear was dragged to the stage evidently much against its I am now introducing Jack John son, defendant told the audience. "You will now see a fight between black and white." He then incited the animals to fight. The monkey jumped upon the bear's back and bit it about the eyes. The bear attempted to escape from the stage, but the defendant dragged It forward again, and a fierce struggle of about one minute's duration ensued be tween the animals. The bear freed itself, but the defen dant brought it up to the scratch and a further fight took place. The audience rose almost en masse and protested against the continuance sequently the manager barred the per formance for the rest of the week. - Defendant told the magistrates that be was sorry he had ever shown the bear. The two animals had played to gether like kittens. ' I8.S0. BUILDING NEED SEEN Bishop Scadding Speaks for Proposed Auditorium. practically certain to be accepted when we are ready to extend it." BENEFITS ARE POINTED OUT Prelate Says That Personally He Is in Favor of Selecting Site at Nineteenth and Wash- . ington Streets. The Legal Way. , Pittsburgh Post 'What punishment did that default ing banker get?" T understand bis lawyer charged him 140,000." "Oregon Is coming more and more prominently before the eves of the East, and Portland is destined to be come more widely known as a conven tlon city every year," said Bishop Charles Scadding, of the Protestant Episcopal Church Sunday. and for this reason It is Imperative that ef forts be made to prepare for future conventions as soon as possible by the erection of a proper auditorium for them. "The World's Christian Citizenship Conference will be held here next July. I am personally deeply Interested in this great gathering. I wish It might be possible for a suitable auditorium to be available for the meetings when It convenes, although I do not think it at all possible for the auditorium commission now to be able to have the municipal auditorium ready in time for that. "In fact. I do not think it is advisable for such hasty action to be taken. The municipal auditorium is to be the great assembly place in Portland for years to come and the selection of its site should accordingly be made with the utmost care, while the building itself should be worthy of the important pur. pose it is to serve. As promptly as possible, with lue regard to these requisites, I hope to see the municipal auditorium erected. While it is proper that the people should urge haste, they should avoid urging the commission into a hasty action that may be regretted within the next few years, when the city shall have grown and the center of population shall have shifted some what. We have a good, reliable com mission and I believe that It is the duty of the people to aid them in every way possible to get what thev are seeking, and in this way an early com pletion of the auditorium will be best secured. "Personally I favor, above any other site in tne city, tnat on Washington and Nineteenth streets, for I believe that that will be the most nearly cen tral point In the city In future. "If not that site, I should favor some central location on the East Side. It it is necessary for the people to vote more money before a site can be se cured and a building erected which Is worthy of the city, then they should not hesitate, but should by all means vote the necessary funds at the next election and uphold the hands of the commission, to which they have in trusted the execution of the work. "Personally I have a very definite interest in the auditorium besides the recognition of its importance to Port land as a coming general convention center. The National conference of the church I represent will be held in Portland some time within the next few years, and that means great dele gations from every part of the United States. Until we are sure, however, that the city has an auditorium suit able for accommodating such a vast gathering, we are not warranted In extending the invitation, althoughit Is ART HISTORIANS ADJOURN Interesting Papers' Presented at Con- gress in Rome.

PARIS, Nov. 1. (Special.) As the Inquiry into the Belgian railway bond frauds proceeds, further evidence Is af forded of the Immense ramifications of the swindle. At Antwerp as the result of the in quiry, a futher seizure of forged bonds having a face value of over 180,000 was made. The magistrate In charge of the case has established the fact that 60,000 of these false bonds of the Ghent-Terneu-zen Railway were printed in Brussels. Fourteen thousand have been seized in Brussels a alone. At Charlerol 1500 have been discovered, and other towns appear to have been victimized in pro portion. It Is believed that Nestor Wilmart managing director of the Ghent-Ter- neuzen Railway and originator of the frauds, is hiding in the south of France under a disguise. So far the only ar rest effected has been that of his brother, Henri Wilmart, but futher de velopments are expected shortly. A Jury of His Peers. Holland's Magazine. Bill Buck, a young negro, was before Justice Greer the other day, charged with stealing a "shootln' Iron"' from Ellis Houston. He had just completed 30 days for carrying the gun. The Squire asked him how he wanted to plead on the new charge. "Might 's well say guilty," said Buck "A nigger don't get no show In this country, nohow. "Don't, eh?" said the court "Nichols (the Constable), you skirmish around and dek ud a dozen or two likely col ored men for jury service, and be quick. We'll show him! In half an hour the Constable had the little courtroom full of grinning negroes of all shapes and sizes. Happy anticipation was written on the dusky faces. Every one of them knew Buck from his days of plckanlnnlsm up, and Buck knew they knew. He glared at the ebony crowd and then turned sul lenly to the court "If you's goln' ter make all dat fuss over a two-bit pop-gun." he said, "I plead3 guilty." Tipping the Hat at Harvard. Boston Post. Everybody tips his hat at Harvard these days. The custom has been growing gradually for several years, and it is now in full bloom. Every student of the university and there are over 6000 of them tips his hat to President Lowell when he meets him on the street or in the yard, and the chief executive of Harvard returns the silent greeting In like manner. The tudents universally recognize Dean LeBaron Russell Brlggs and Dean By ron S. Hurlbutt and several other wide ly known members of the Harvard fac ulty by tipping the hat. Students In the courses at the col lege are expected to tip their hats to the professors or assistant professors, whether they know them personally or not The line Is drawn against the in structors, however. ft LIN Best for Biscuit Experienced housekeepers who have tried many dif ferent kinds of baking pow ders, find that Rumford biscuits are lighter, whiter and better flavored. They are also more wholesome and much more easily made with Enormous Coal Waste. New Tork Press. The United States Bureau of Mines has found that out of 750.000.000 tons of coal mined annually there is a sheer waste of 250.000,000 tons In production alone. Of the remaining 500,000,000 tons which reach the consumer there Is only a small percentage which Is turned Into actual energy. The aver age waste last year, according to re cent Government figures, amounted to 89 per cent; much of It Is due to inef ficient methods of burning, which can be corrected. Natural gas equal in quantity to the total output of artifi cial gas manufactured In the entire country Is absolutely wasted by being turned loose into the air. Boiler scale alone causes a loss of 15,000,000 tons a year, and coke manufacture a waste of some 140,000,000. Princess Louise to Fight State. LONDON, Nov. 16. (Special.)
