the ferry slip, he said: "I considered
the lives of the men much more than
any possible danger to my boat,
steered right ln."
Captain Tells of Responsibility.
C. Dalby, of 420 Cook avenue, captain
of the Sarah Dickson, said that he saw
the drowning men from the middle of
the river.
"I squared around to go in," he eald,
"but the Chris Minsinger got in ahead
of me. The Chris Minsinger was in
grave danger and the fire was pretty
hot. I am sure the ferry would have
pot back to the -Blip sooner than the
Chris Minsinger, from where the ferry
was when I first saw her as the Chris
Minsinger was going it."
"Is the proper place for a steam
boat captain to stay longest in the
place where human life Is in danger
and may be saved?" Deputy District
Attorney Robison asked him.
"Most assuredly." he answered.
. Engineer of Elldor Tells Story.
Charles Prehn, engineer of the Har
bor Patrol boat Elidor, told of the
doings of that boat on the evening of
tne tire.
"We went down the stream after the
f ireboat David Campbell, some distance
behind her because she was faster than
us," he said. "We went directly to the
Irving dock, which seemed to be about
to burn up. The captain of the Chris
Minsinger gave me about five whistles.
"I could not hear it because of the
pumping of my own engines, but I
could see the white steam go up from
nis whistle. He also waved to me. and
I thought ho meant for me to go by
oenina mm.
"I went by him on the outside, then
to the lower ferry landing, and then
went DacK to the Irving dock, where I
ordered away a number of small boats
ilea tnere, thinkmg that if left there
iney would burn.
Attempts to Revive Man Told.
"A man came running down to me
end said that five men had been burned
on the ferry slip, so I asked him if he
could show me where, and he said he
could. We ran down to the slip and
with a pikepole brought out the body
of one man, after two attempts. We
worked on him tor an hour and a half.
i.e naa Diooa on his lungs and gave no
signs of If je. He had a mark across
his forehead, corrugated as If It w.
the mark of the ferryboat's cable. We
rouea tne body over a. barrel and used
the 'lung motor,' but It was no use."
Superintendent Tells of Fire.
J. C. Du Penning, superintendent rf
the Northwest Door Company; was next
called. He told of the inception of the
lire, wnicn ne said started In a bench
by the side of the ferry slip and was
from sparks blown from the burning
ei a.ni on me oia aocKs. .
Telling of his eforts "on the even
ing of the fire, Mr. Du Penning said:
"When I was called out of the mill I
saw that the bench was 'ablaze." I got
some of our men out with hose, and
by that time the fire was licking
through the cracks Into our building.
In two minutes it had broken through
the full length of the building.
"I had - hurried down Into the under
room of the mill, where the odds and
ends of lumber are kept the hold, we
call It and had placed men with hose
there. Now I ran down there and
chased them all out.
"The fire followed me as I ran up
the ladder. By that time the fire was
all over the north end of the mill, so
I ran to the engine-room and chased
the engineer out. The last 20 or 30
feet of my. own way oat I had to crawl
on my hands and knees."
Complaint on Danger Made.
On May 12, he said, he complained
to Fire Chiefs Dowell and Stevens that
the fire was dangerous.
Chief Dowell had testifeid previously
that complaint of the danger of the
fire was not made to him, but that the
complaint made was of the annoyance
of the smoke.
"They .talked to me about it, but
seemed to think there was no danger,"
said Mr. Du Penning. "Knowing they
had much experience as fire-fighters I
took their word for it."
A month before the fire, he said, the
platform of the ferrysllp was on fire
one day, and the bulkhead of the old
Montgomery dock was on fire several
times.
Possible Routes of Two Men Told.
Mr. Du Penning gave the jury the
first lucid description of the possible
routes of the two drowned men, as they
fled from the burning mill.
"The wind was from the northwest
I am sure of it because nine times out
of ten clear weather brings wind from
that quarter, and bad weather brings
the opposite. Hot weather, the most
dangerous to any mill, brought also
the wind from the most dangerout
quarter.

wamea aown the front stairs and out
the entrance at the east side of the
mill. But Balogh, dragging his tool
chest, went out the south end of the
mill, ovr a small shed, and walked
150 feet in the wrong direction. I
have decided this from my knowledge
of the- mill and surroundings.
"Plena Doe to Neighborly Keeling."
"L. O. Rosa pleas to Mr. Connell were
on the ground of neighborliness. He
came to our plant the day after some
of the mill boys turned in a fire alarm
and caused the wetting down of the
grain fires, and. be said that they had
always been good neighbors, and
begged that Mr. Connell would not in
terfere further with their fires. He
said it would be out in a week.
"After that week we turned in fire
alarms, whenever the smoke and stench
became too strong. Mr. Ross took ad
vantage of Mr. Connell's well-known
good nature."

He said that when he went across

scene of the fire, after the blaze had
died down somewhat and was burning
in the south end of the mill, the grain
beneath the edge of the bulhead on the
Lewis property was burning strongly.
"There was a roaring fire in the
grain beneath the bulkhead," he said,
Engineer Corroborates Story.
John Kesling, engineer of the mill,
was the last witness. He said he lives
at tst AiDlna avenue.
"I was called to the office and or
aereu to blow the fire whistle. I did
so, and started the engines of my fire
pumps. Then I saw. In the corner by
the office, a puff of smoke and fire
come up through the floor."
His story, from that point corrobor
ated that of Mr. Du Pennine.
"Did you ever see the bulkhead burn
ing?" asked Mr. Robison.
"Well," he answered, "one day I was
talking with a tall fellow, I don't re

WASHINGTON, Juno 9. With the
approval of the House leadership.
supplementary legislative programme
of the present session, embracing five
conservation measures, was outlined in
a resolution Introduced today by Rep
resentatlve Foster, of Illinois. The
rules commutes will meet tomorrow
and probably will report a rule to pro
vide for immediate consideration of the
measure.
Under the proposed rule each of the
biUs would be considered in the House
as in committee of the whole, where
after general debate it would be sub
ject to amendment under the "flve
mlnute rule." Then it would be laid
aside for final action on completion
of consideration of all In "committee
of the whole."
Alaska Coal Bill Leads.
The programme proposes this order:
Alaska coal leasing- bill, six hours'
general debate; bill to encourage pros
pecting1, mining and treatment of ra
dium-bearing ores In pubUo lands and
to secure adequate supply for Govern
ment and other hospitals, four hours;
extension to 20 years of the period
within which settlers on reclamation
projeots may, reimburse the Govern
ment for their reclamation work, two
hours; regulation and development of
water power on the public lands, four
hours; creation of a commission to
codify and suggest amendments to the
general mining laws, four hours.
These bills would have right of way
over everything in the House except
appropriation bills and conference re
ports, and under the resolution the
House would meet at 11 o'clock each
morning, and" during general debate

The House public lands committee.
by a strictly party vote, today refused
to take op the Borah bill, which passed
the Senate four months ago, amending
the three-year homestead law by pro
viding that in lieu of cultivation home
steaders may establish good faith by
making permanent Improvements on
their lands to the value of 1.50 an
acre. Representative Slnnott, of Ore
gon, moved that the sub-committee.
which has had this bill in charge ever
since it passed the Senate, be dis
charged, and that the bill be brought
before the full committee for action.
Every Democrat on the committee voted
to refuse consideration of the bill and
every Republican supported the Sln
nott motion.
Unless the President brings pressure
to bear. It is evident the Borah blU
will not be reported to the House for
consideration. No legislation favor
able to homesteaders has been re
ported by the House po&llc lands com
mittee this session.

A FINE COMPLEXION
A girl's complexion ls something:
more than a matter to concern her van
ity. It is an indication of the state ot
her health. Pallor in a growing girl
means a thinning of the blood. Erup
tions mean impurities in the blood.
Parents should be watchful of their
daughters' complexions, and should see
to it that these danger eijtns are cor
rected, not covered up.
hen a fnrl in her 'teens becomes
pale and sallow, especially if, at the
same time, she shows an inclination to
tlra easily, a listlessness and inatten
tion to her work or studies, she needs
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, a tonic which
directly and specifically corrects the
condition from which she ls suffering.
A chemical analysis of the blood of
such a girl would show it to be de
ficient in Just the elements that Dr.
Williams' Pink Pills can supply but the
physical signs are plain. Every girl
should read the chapter on "Chlorosis"
in the free booklet. "Building Up the
Blood." It tells Just what to do and
gives directions regarding diet, exer
cise and rest.
The srlrl with a muddy complexion
should have the booklet "A Dainty Lax
ative." which tells about Pinklets.
These books will be sent free on re
quest by the Dr. Williams' Medicine
Company, Schenectady, X. Y. Tour own
druggist will supply Dr. Williams' Pink
Pills. Adv.
