' VANCOUVER, B. C, June 25. (Spe cial.) The Hindus aboard the Koma gata Maru are short of water. This morning the leader,' Gurdit Singh, sent a request ashore to C. Gardner Johnson .for 200 tons of water. Mr. Johnson -replied that as soon as Gurdit or his friends put up $100 the -water would be dispatched. If the money is not forthcoming the Hindus will : get no water, as tar us the agent Is concerned. This development gives an idea of the complications which the presence .of the Hindus is causing. The char ter party distinctly provides that the charterer, Gurdit Singh, must provide the passengers with the necessaries of life and the Japanese owners of the Komagata Maru are absolutely ab solved from any responsibility in this respect. Responsibility Is Shifted. The owners of the steamer have been put to great inconvenience and expense already by the delay of the vessel here and they care nothing if the Hindus starve or die of thirst, because they only chartered the ship to Gurdit Blngh. If he does not care to feed his countrymen that is his looKout. The Hindus ashore, headed by Rahim Eingh, have taken over the charter and with it the responsibility of feeding the men out in the stream. It is now quite evident that the ques tion of feeding the Hindus will have to be met. It is declared that tne Vancouver Hindus are getting tireti of putting up the grub stake for. the men held on the steamer and if the cases are to be carried through the various courts as far as the Privy Council, nice tangle will result. It is not up to the owners of steamer to feed them. That is clearly set out in the charter agreement. Men Declared Paupers. While the various negotiations have been proceeding this week, Inspector Hopklnson, of Mr. Reid s stair, has been quietly engaged in making the pre liminary examination of a large num ber of men -aboard the ship. It is announced unofficially that he has examined more than 100 and of all these 80 per cent were practically pen niless. Some of the men have a dol lar or two with them, but four out of every five are alleged to be probable candidates for, public charity if they should happen to land. PORTLAND RAILROAD MAN MADE OFFICIAL OK SPO KANE INTERNATIONAL. -J NORMAL PROVES SUCCESS Centralis School, Adrift, Has Large Enrollment This Year. CENT R ALIA. Wash, June 25. (Spe cial.) The Centralia Summer Normal School, which is this year being con ducted as a private institution inde pendent of the EUensburg State Nor mal, is proving a success, and, accord ing to the faculty, has a larger en rollment at the present' tfme than the former parent institution at Ellens burg. The faculty is a strong one, and the only drawback Is that the work of the students this year will not be credited by the state without cxaml- . nation. The local school was organized sev eral years ago. It was run as a pri vate institution for two years before 'it was connected with Ellensburg. This year the faculty was notified that Ellensburg had turned It adrift again.

METERS MUST BE GIVEN Council of St. Johns Order Company to Comply With Ruling. 6T. JOHNS. Or, June 25. (Special.) At the meeting of the St. Johns Work Taken Vp In Prlsoa When Illness Brings Need of Money Paver Head at Admen's Meeting. . TORONTO, Ont., June 25. A paper on "Giving the Letter Life and Decent Dress,." written by Louis Victor Ey tinge, who is serving a life term for murder in prison at Florence, was read at the Advertising Club's convention today. Eytlnge is 31 years old and already has served seven years. He contracted consumption in prison and, needing money, he took up advertising. He cleared $900 last year. He sent word to the convention that he believes he can make $5000 this year. In his paper he likened the majority of business letters to tramps. "It is about time that business men were awakened to the danger that threatens their most modern method of merchan dising because of the ragged hordes of letter hobos that are beating their way through the American malls," he said. "So many letters beg for business with stammering speech and halting gait that it makes one believe they were brought into being by foolish fathers, who neither planned nor prepared the way for their comlnff." TO. EUGENE, Or June 25. (SpeciaL)-r- 'Not guilty" was the verdict returned tonight In the murder "trial of Andrew Bossen, charged with giving poison to his wife, Mrs. Edith Bossen. Two hours after Bossen walked from the Courthouse a free man he was In his little home of West Springfield holding his son. Stanley, with his three sisters, who have stood loyally by him during the trial, at his side, weeping and laughing in their happiness. Andrew Bossen will live in Eugene, as timber crui3er. He will leave his little Home on the side of the hill and try to forget the morning, on March 20, when his wife was found dead and the details of which he portrayed so vividly in the courtroom yesterday. . - Vindication Pleases Bossen. "I am vindicated -and I am satisfied, he said a few minutes after he had left the courtroom, where he had shaken hands with the jury and his attorne; a in silence. "I have no feeling against anyone. I am very grateful to the Sheriff for the kind treatment I have received. I have no bitterness toward the District Attorney, who did what he saw ashis duty. ' I feel grateful to my attorneys. Eugene is to be my home, and this is to be forgotten. The" jury was out three hours, and reached its verdict after nine votes. It held, according to one of the jurors, that there was no evidence to prove that Mrs. Bossen herself did not ad minister the poison. "Women Might Have Taken Poison." "We believe that she died as a result of taking poison, and taking it through the mouth," said one member tonight. "And- I think that the jury believe she died from mercurial poison. But we believe that Mrs. vBossen herself could have administered that poison. She had ample opportunity while she was out of the room and perhaps while Bossen was asleep. "Bossen's own testimony was the most damaging when he told, unso licited, of asking Mrs. Bossen: 'How can you accuse me of doing such thing?' referring to the dying state" ments." Today was passefl in arguments on the part of the attorneys. A sensa tion Occurred during the afternoon when Dollie Levins, the principal wit ness against her . brother-in-law. fainted with a scream that pierced the courtroom as the attorneys for the de fense delivered a scathing denuncia tion against her character. Her mother, Mrs. James Levins, fainted a few mo ments later. Evidence in the case was entirely circumstantial, Bossen being accused of administering the poison during the absence of the other members of the household. Headache tablets from coal tar derivatives said to be in general house hold use were denounced and described as dangerous and fatal to thousands of persons annually by physicians who testified yesterday. . Drags Called Dangrerons. Dr. B. F. Scaiefs named aoetanalld. antephyrln, phenacetin and antifebrin as the most common form of these preparations and referred to recent statistics of the Department of Agri culture, in connection with the pure food and drug act. He quoted from a bulletin of that department. - Dr. Scalefe declared acetanalld dangerous. It is more uncertain and more lr regular in its effects than any other drug I know of, ha testined. It is this drug which the defense contended caused the death of Mrs. Bossen. and not bichloride of mercury as contended by the state.
