In Attempt to Exonerate Him
self .Again Asserted.
Examination of John 1 Etheridge,
accused bono dealer, which was
scheduled in chancery proceedings for
this morning, probably will be post
poned until Monday morning, it was
announced yesterday by the legal firm
of Oriffth, Letter & Allen, attorneys
for W. D. Whitcomb, receiver for the
bankrupt bond house.
Harrison Allen said last night he
would ask today that the case be put
over until the first of next week in
order that certain Investigations now
under way might be completed.
Federal Judge Wolverton this morn
ing will hand down a decision on the
application of Receiver Whitcomb to
have approximately $1,700,000 in city
of Edmonton bonds held under fed
eral jurisdiction pending settlement
of the bankruptcy proceedings.
Bonds Now Held In Escrow.
These bonds are now held in escrow
at the United States National bank,
which has signified its willingness
to make whatever disposal of them
the court might order. It was the
selling of these bonds and the issu
ance of interim certificates which
quickened the downfall of Morris
Bros, Inc.
Persons officially connected with
the affairs of the wrecked bond house
and the various investigations now
under way yesterday reaffirmed the
announcement made Tuesday tha
John L. Etheridge is willing to talk
and to bare to the public every mi
nute detail concerning his relations
with Fred S. Morris.
Exoneration Is Sought.
Etheridtre. it was officially
ported, is taking the position that
when he bares his financial arrange
ments with Morris he will be able to
exonerate himself from any intended
wrongdoing. The nature of the evi
dence which It was officially re
ported Etheridge is willing to give
has not yet been made public, but
those close to him and those con
nected with the affairs of the wrecked
Institution continue to maintain that
he will endeavor to fix the sole re
sponsiblllty upon Morris.
Etheridge yesterday was In confer
ence with District Attorney Evans,
Attorneys Harrison Allen and Bert
Henry for the receiver and his per
sonal attorney, Charles Hlndman, in
the office of the district attorney,
$1200 for Expenses Asked.
It was reported after the confer
ence that Etheridge was asking that
$1200 which he had on him when ar
rested be returned to. him for living
expenses ponding settlement of crim
inal charges now held against him.
Mr. Evans was willing that the
money be returned, as It is not
needed as evidence, but Harrison
Allen refused to permit him to have
' It. The receiver's attorney's took the
position that they might be called
upon to demand everything Etheridgo
has for the benefit of the creditors.
and in spite of Etherldge's plea that
he is without funds, they insisted
that the $1200 be retained by the
district attorney.
Other personal property which It
was said is of no value to the re
ceiver was turned back to Etheridge.
These included matters pertaining' to
his church and other personal docu
ments which cannot be converted into
oath.
Hore Civil Actions Filed.
Two more civii actions growing
Out of the failure of Morris Bros..
Inc., were filed yesterday in federal
court. P. J. Petit of Vancouver.
Wash., alleges he is the owner of
$2400 in bonds which were left for
cafe keeping with Morris Bros,
the day before the closing of the
doors and that the recelvei has re
fused to turn them over to him.
Charges of the same nature are made
by J. M. Durham, who demands the
return of $2500 in bonds which he
Bays were his personal property, but
which were left at the bond house
for safe keeping.
Shortly after the bond house closed
Its doors, Mr. Whitcomb, temporary
receiver, announced publicly that in
time all persons who merely had left
their bonds with the firm for safe
keeping would have thorn returned

Wrhen the matter came up for a de
cision, C. P. Barnard, the new county
Judge, voted with M. H. Harlow, the
hold-over commissioner, to retain th
roadmaster. Judge Barnard stating
that he deemed it unwise to make a
radical change in the efficient road
building system of the county at the
present- time. ,
Sharp caused to be entered upon the
records of the county his reasons for
opposing the appointment of a road
master. He said he was opposed to
the general principle of such super
vision over roads, rock crushers and
bridges, that it was a waste of public
funds and that It fosters inefficiency.
He charged that the old road-building
organization was built up for per
sonal benefit rather than for effective
and economical administration of road
funds.

HEARST, Ontario, Jan. 5. Tales of
terrible hardships endured with the
utmost fortitude by the three strand
ed American naval balloonists from
Rockaway. N. Y, in the frozen wilds
of the Canadian North were related
here today Vf Indian trappers arriv
ing from the lower Hudson's Bay
district.
Their stories In the mam corrobo
rated reports from Cochran that the
airmen were on the verge or starva
tion, and were forced to eat their two
remaining carrier pigeons to keep
alive. The men are now slowly wend
ing their way back to civilization by
ctog train, with the thermdmeter reg
istering 30 degrees below zero. Un
less unusual storms are encountered
they should reach Mattice no later
than Friday. A Pullman coach will
be placed at their disposal when they
leave the trail there,
According to the stories of the
Indians; the- howling of a moose dog
caught in a trap at fehipsands, tne
original post of the Hudson s Bay
company, was responsible for the
safety of the airmen last sunoay.
Wnen they heard the dog's cries, the
balloonists decided to land. The
great balloon struck In a clump of
trees 10 miles sjouth of the post and
its occupants were almost stripped
of their clothing in tne perilous ae-
scent.
Veteran Offers Prayer.
At the time of the landing the mer
cury was only ten degrees below zero,
the mildest weather for this season of
the year in the history or tne iraams
post, when the men extricatea mem-
elves from the wrecKage me m i
words were uttered by Lieutenant
Walter Hinton. a veteran of the his
toric trans-Atlantic flight In the
NC-4, who extended "gracious thanks"
to the Almighty for their existence.
The next thought of the airmen was
o exnress thanks to the unfortunate
dog, whose howls caused them to de
scend. For almost 40 hours the Amer-
cans had mocked death In a raging
storm high in the air, and for the
time being they were too exhausted
to do anything but congratulate them
selves upon their safe landing.
The airmen had been drenched to
the skin, and icicles hung over their
torn clothing. For four da:'e they
wandered aimlessly in the wilder
ness and were at the point of "despair
when they were discovered by a
frightened Indian trapper.
Landing Field Sought.
Before attempting a descent, the
balloonists told George McLeod, an
Indian mailcarrier. who brought tbe
news of their descent to th outside
world, they Jockeyed for eight hours
to find a safe place. During that time
they were tossed by a raging gate
that at times reached a velocity of 70
miles an hour.
They decided to ohance it when they
heard the howling dog ana as tney
descended Lieutenant Stephen far
rell saw a smokestack in the distance,
rt disappeared from view as they
struck the tree tops and when they
crawled from the balloon there was
no sign of habitation.
They at last made camp for the
night and walttd for daylight. With
renewed spirits they set out in tne
morning in a southerly direction un
til they again saw the smokestack in
the distance. Making for it they met
an aged Indian, The Marian. He
took to his heels, pursued by Lieu
tenant Kloor who caught the old man
and induced him to lead them to a
refuge. He took them to his hut and
from there sent his wife to Moose
Factory to notify Hudson's Bay com
pany men of the appearance of the
three strangers.
Refugee's Condition Good.
Company employes then came to
their aid and took charge of them.
Warmed, fed and dressed in dry cloth
ing the men told the thrilling story
of their flight. The men are in good
health, although Farrell suffered
from frost bite and shock.
After their departure from Rock
away, N. Y., they said the balloon
drifted northward toward the Adlron
dacks until in the vicinity of Fork
mountains, near Well, N. Y., it was
caught by a terrific storm. The of
ficers felt no alarm, however, and de
cided not to send out any of the
pigeons, reserving them for a more
serious situation.
They expected to take a westerly
course after reaching the St. Law
rence river, hut before arriving there
they were caught by a southeast gale
which swept them toward Canada
No effort was made to make a land
ing until they reached Southlands
There three attempts were made be
fore success was attained. At times
they floated at a high elevation, and
at otners tney aroppea to tne tree
tops In the hope of finding an open
space.
Clothing; Is In Rags,
When the men landed their clothing
was in rags and they were without
food, the second of the pigeons having
previously been eaten.
At Moose Factory immediate efforts
were made to send word of their
safety to their families and friends,
and Indian runners were sent back.
Then plans for their own departure
were started. Two dog sleds were
made ready and equipment prepared.
The balloonists told McLeod before
they set out ten days ago they
planned to go to Toronto and from
there to New lork.
The trial by which the return trip
is being made is along the MIssinaibi
river, the original route of the Hud
son's Bay company between Moose
Factory and Mattice. The going along
this trail is reported now much more
difficult than it was when Hudson's
Bay men went out with the first mes
sage from the stranded fliers.

Charles S. Rudeen. new county
commissioner, lined up with Rufus
C. Holman, commissioner, in re
organization of the board of county
commissioners yesterday, with the
result that Mr. Holman was elected
chairman of the board and Ralph
W. Hoyt. ex-chalrman. received what
was left after choicest county pa
tronage had been redistributed be
tween Rudeen and Holman.

ferries, and minor courthouse em
ployes, such as janitors and elevator
operators.
Holman Votes for Himself.
As soon as the new board had con
vened yesterday. Rudeen nominated
Holman for chairman for six months.
A i,rm limit has never been made
before. Chairman Hoyt in turn nom- 1
inated Rudeen. over the latter s pro
test. Records of the vote show that
Rudeen voted for Holman, Holman
for himself and Hoyt for Rudeen.
The first official act of Holman
upon assuming the reins was ap
parently along a pre-arranged sched-
"l8- ... .
"At this time I want to move that
the Broadway and Steel bridges and
Sr. Johns ferry be placed directly
,w tho control of Mr. Kudeen,
said he. He then continued by allot
ing of the Burnside and Morrison
bridges and Burlington ferry to Hoyt
and the Hawthorne bridge and Sell
wood ferry to himself. Though not
mentioned, the chairman's patronage
also virtually Includes courthouse
employes.
The action was somewhat of a sur
prise at least to one member of the
board for the reason that directly
after the November election, Alwyn
A. Muck, ex-commissioner, suggested
that the Broadway and Steel bridges
should be transferred to Hoyt's con
trol, -but that the St. Johns ferry
should remain in his hands until the
accession of Rudeen, when it would
fall naturally to him as the new com
missioner. Holman agreed to the
plan, at that time and volunteered to
take the Burlington ferry.
Patronage Is Saggested.
In explanation, county employes
would point out that the St. Johns
ferrv is by far the best of the county
ferries and the Broadway and Steel
bridges superior county bridges from
the viewpoint of patronage, and the
Burlington ferry and Burnside and
Morrison bridges the least desir
able from the same point of view.
The new regime on the board
changed the meeting hour from 9

MAZAMAS PLAN OUTING
Trip Through Virgin Territory to
See Diamond Peak Is Planned.
What is expected to be the most
Interesting trip the Mazamas have
yet participated in will take place
from July 16 to 31, when about 75
members of that organization, hold
ing their 28th annual outing, leave
civilization behind and plunge into
as yet nearly virgin territory near
Diamond peak, about 40 miles due
north of Crater lake. Few of the
final details of the journey have been
completed, according to Roy W. Ayer,
chairman of the outing committee,
but at present it is known that the
hikers will go first to Eugene, from
thence on the branch railroad to
Oakridge and then on into the
mountains. They will view the peak,
but whether or not the party will
then proceed south to Crater lake
is not yet known.
After leaving Oakridge, members
of the organization will hike over an
