TRIAL HARD-FOUGHT ONE "ora Colwell and Son Laurence on brand In Pendleton Court Bojr Admits Shooting, bat As serts Self-Defense. rE.VDLETOX. Or, Jan. 13 (Special) After a little mora than an hour of deliberation the Jury in the Circuit Court her brought in a. verdict of not guilty for Cora Colwell and Lawrence Colwell. Jointly charged with the mur der last May of James E. Short, an her test. Phe will be the second of that class .finished for the Emergency Fleet Corporation, the first having- been the Westland. It is understood to be the Intention of the Government to have Junior of ficers In all departments, so there will be three regular mates and three Juniors, also the required number of assistant engineers and as many Juniors. The Junior officers will be drawn from the lists at the Govern ment nautical schools here and on Puret Sound, and the engineers from the Federal school at the University of Washington. By that means it is reasoned the new men will get valuable training, as they will "stand watch and watch" with the regular officers. After short periods at sea they will be aasianed to other ships In responsible berths. OAKLAND IS FLOATED Schooner Is Salvaged From ; Nehalem Beach Sands.

The boy admitted the tboot I nit. but pleaded self-defense. The trial i. lied much local Interest and was hard fought. PRNPLETON, Or, Jan. S3. Special) The fata of Mrs. Cora Colwell and her U-year-old son. Lawrence, charged with the murder last May of James E. Short, aged rancher of the northern part of Umatilla County, apparently hangs on the success or failure o ef forts on the part of the state's at torneys to impeach the testimony of Bert Crane, who claims to have been an eye-witness of the affair. Crane Is a brother of Mrs. Colwell and bis testimony was refused by the state, but placed before the Jury by the defense. The boy admlta the shoot Ing. but claims he fired only in self tlefense. The Jury, which will take the case tonight, has numerous tangles to unravel. The boy and his mother were both on the stand today and told straight forward stortes of their parts In the iffalr. The boy asserts that he did not ment. that Steward Jack Pennington worked overtime. In fact. It Is the first trip on record that the rotund head of the galley force was compelled to forego his usual trip to the movies. The Klamath will have a fair propor tlon of the passenger business today and there will be another lot of trav elers ready for the Willamette. The Rose City, of the Han Francisco at Portland Steamship Company's fleet, and the P. A. K 11 burn, of the Emerald line, are scheduled to sail tonight. Both are well patronised these times, though there Is a noticeable falling off In travel by water as compared with the late rail movement. MACHINERY INSPECTOR NAMED San Francisco Man Assigned to Pa cific Marine Iron Works. Louis Mock, for years with the Main- street Iron Works at San Francisco, has been named Inspector for the Emergency Meet Corporation at the new plant of the Pacific Marine Iron fire until after the old man had fired I Works, at the foot of East Main street. nd that there were but two shots. I There a number of watertube boilers. Other testimony is to the effect that four shots were heard. Witnesses for the defense assert that Mrs. Colwell was never at the scene of the crime. but the state presented testimony to the contrary. A son of the murdered man asserts that he saw a maa and woman near the spot where Short was killed Just previous to the tragedy. Testimony of witnesses based on the character of the wounds la the body of Mr. Short and abot marks In the stock of Short's gun and In the bed of the buggy used by Mr. Short, were used to combat the testimony of the lad regarding the position in which the two principals In the tragedy stood at the time of the hooting. The state made much of tbe failure of a shot mark on the Inner side of the stock to bear out the statement of the boy regarding" their positions. The matter has considerable bearing on the case by reason of the fact that the line of gun wads from the buggy, by which an effort was made to trace the direction rf the shot fired by Short fails to coincide by several feet, with a line connecting the body if the man ar.d the plaew where the lad. at the in quest. Indicated he stood when he fired the fatal shot. State's Attorneys in timated that Short shot at a third person. The results of a test shot made by the foreman of the Jury were not per mitted to be presented. SHIP'WAGE IS STUDIED M4RITIWE COUNCIL WILL MEET WITH LLOTD J. WKNTWORTH.

VESSELS DELATED BY FOG Kllbnrn and Rose City Held Itack and Are Hurrying Cargo Work. Fog and the fact that only one boiler was used on the way from Astoria held the Emerald line steamer F. A. Kll- burn until yesterday afternoon, but H. H. Bancroft. Portland agent for the fleet, said yesterday that the vessel would get away on time tonight. The Kllburn had considerable pump trou ble when In port last, but It Is said that full repairs have been made. The Rosa City came Into the river yesterday morning and made her way to Portland through fog on the lower river. She made fast at Alnaworth dock shortly after 7 o'clock last night. Fog was thick off the coast Tuesday night and was reported the eame last night. Because of having been delayed the sailing hour has been postponed from 3 o'clock this afternoon to f o'clock tomorrow morning. The vessel had a large cargo, and will go out with a capacity load, so It was decided to pro vide abundant time for the handling f freight.

Columbia River Bar Report. NORTH HKAD. Jan. 53. Condition of the bar at ft P. M : Mea. obscured by dense fog wind, south. 20 miles. Salvage operations begun In June 19K. to float the schooner Oakland, which went on the beach about 34 milea north of the entrance to Nehalem Bay in March of that year, were crowned with success yesterday, when the vessel was floated In the bay. Sh had been moved across a spit from th weather beach and for the past few weeka had been on temporary way there, waiting a favorable opportunity to slide overboard. On being floated the Oakland was towed to Wheeler to have additional work done, which will require two o three days, after which she will be brought here for permanent repairs. The vessel is now owned by Henry Al bers and Jack O'Neill, of this city, and It Is estimated the expense of floating her will approximate .76.000. The owners have received several proposala to charter the vessel; also two or three firms have sought to open negotiations to purchase her, but until she reaches here and it Is possible to go over her thoroughly again it is no expected any deal will be carried through. The vessel had loaded cargo of ties at Bandon for San Fran cisco In March, 1916, and on getting to sea was caught in a big blow. The crew abandoned the vessel after she became waterlogged and were plckred up. while the ship drifted onto the beach, where she remained in plain sight of passing ships for months. One attempt was made to float the Oakland from the ocean beach, and it Is asserted that she was free of the sand once, but heavy weather drove her on again before tugs could be sent there. The second trlsl was undertaken by moving her over the spit on much the same scheme as In moving a house, and. while greater speed could have been made in getting her into the water, no hurry was exhibited in mak ing repairs, so she would be seaworthy for the trip here. A delay was met with two weeks ago, when a storm damaged the end of the ways when she was ready to be launched. The Oakland was built at San Fran cisco In 1902. She Is 148 feet long, with a beam of 35.6 feet and 9 feet depth of hold. The vessel was well constructed and Is saldi not to have leaked a drop towing to Wheeler yes terday.

Next week "It Pays to Advertise." recommended In a bulletin on "The Neglected Waters of the Pacific Coast." Issued today by the Coast and Geodetic Survey. For 21 years no systematic survey or water areas adjacent to California. Oregon and Washington has been made on account of lack of vessels. Inadeauacy of present charts and surveys and peculiaritiea of config uration and currents were said to have been responsible for many costly wrecks, notably the loss of the "Va lencia" In 1906 with 134 persons. The end of the present world con flict will see the merchant fleet which we are now building released from the restrictions Imposed by our needs for trans-Atlantic transport, sailing the Seven Seas In a struggle to regain the pre-eminence which was ours in the old days. In this maritime expansion the pa cific Coast will have a full share. And with the coming of new ships there will come new commanders; men un familiar with the special conditions affecting navigation. -St ranters lacking this local knowl edge must navigate by the chart, and unless the charts are perfected and the j currents known, the inevitable result will be a marked Increase in the num about 30 miles from Mitchell, and warned not to return here.
