Kodiak Island, hoping that they, might

Trip Hard in WYnter.-
In Sufcrmer this would be an eay trip,
with land always in sight, but the
weather has been very stormy on .the
Alaska coast and the men may have
perished at sea or been obliged to seek
shelter on the bleak shore. There is no
wireless station on Kodiak station or on
Cook Inlet. f
"When the Victoria found the Farallon
refugees she was- on a search expedi
tion, traveling over the course. taken by
the wrecked steamer.
The passengers and the other members
of the Farallon crew arrived here this
morning aboard the Victoria.
Struck During Storm.
When the Farallon. can to her doom a
blinding snow storm was in progress. She
"struck solidly and it was soon realized
that there was no hope for her. The tide
was rising and soon the vessel was listing
badly. There was no sea, however, and
the passengers and crew managed to take
to the boats without great difficulty. It
hUo was possible to get supplies and some
heavy clothing and bedding ashore and
the castaways ' went into camp under
fairly comfortable circumstances.
The weather in the locality of the
wreck has been unusually cold and there
have been several storms since the- small
boat left. The Victoria spent as much
time as possible searching for the boat
and Us little crew, but was obliged to
continue to this city because of the con
dition of the rescued.
Mercury at 4 0 Below.
Despite the fact that they were fairly
well suplled with clothing and easily
obtained wood for fuel, the castaways
suffered greatly from the severe cold.
The mercury frequently falling to 40
below. None, however, is seriously the
worse for the experience.
The Farallon was a wooden-screwS
steamer of 750 gross tone, and commanded
by Captain J. C. Hunter. She was built

PITTSBURG. Kan.. Feb. 5. Three
unidentified men held up and robbed
passengers on an east bound Missouri
Pacific passenger train five miles east
of here tonight. They were unmasked.
About $100 and a small amount of jew
elry was taken.
One robber covered the passengers
with two revolvers. "You will now
prepare to give up your valuables." he
said. "My partner will pass among
you. Please be quick."
The partner" thereupon produced a
gunnysack and started on his tour, collecting-
money, watches, diamonds and
rings. A woman screamed and fainted.
The robber pulled a ring from her
finger and picked up her purse from
the floor, where it had fallen, and
passed on to the next victim.
Throughout the progress of the rob
bery the train hurried ahead. Not one
of the crew, with the exception of the
conductor, knew the robbery- was be
ing perpetrated.
When the lights of Cornell came into
view the robbers did not hurry away,
just because the train stopped at the
station. The robber with the gunny
sack stripped the last passengev in the
car. Then the three dropped off and
disappeared down an alley.
No" atetmpt was made to rob the ex
press car.
Sheriff Merri weather and a score of
deputies at once began searching for
the men.
TAFT AND CANNON DANCE
President Waltzes With Depew's
Viece to "Merry Widow."
WASHINGTON. Feb. 5. Dancing is a
diversion not usually popularly associated
with greatness either of position or of
physical conformation or with, the sep
tuagesimal age, but the need for a re
vision of the general view- was dem
onstrated last evening at the reception
given by Senator Depew, of New York,
at his home in this city, in honor of
the Republican Editorial Association of
his state. President Taft and Speaker
Cannon were among those who danced,
thereby showing that one must not
necessarily be of less estate than a
President, or the less avoirdupois than
whatever that may be to which Mr.
Taft confesses, or of the tender years
of a debutante in order fully to enjoy
the delights of a waltz.
Mr. Taft enlarged that gradually in
creasing circle of those who have had
the honor to dance with the Presi
dent by choosing for his partner Miss
Paulding, niece of Senator Depew. To
the alluring strains of the "Merry
Widow" waltz they floated several times
about the room, and later Mr. Taft re
quested, and was granted, a dance with
Miss McArthur, a daughter of one of
the visltinj? newspapermen.
WAVE NEARLY TAKES MAN
Perils of Mail Carrier's Journey
Along Coast Are Great.
NEWPORT. Or., Feb. 5. (Special.)
J. W. Walker, rural mail carrier along
the Coast between Waldport and Flor
ence, a distance of 35 miles, narrowly
escaped drowning last Monday, when
he was washed by a wave of his horse,
which had stepped into a deep hole.
The trail is precipitous and very
dangerous, beset during the Winter oy
treacherous holes and slippery rocks.
On a point between Ten -Mile Creek
and Heceta Head. Walker's horse
stepped into a hole and the mail
carrier came a cropper. A heavier sea
than usual swept over horse and fallen
rider and Walker with difficulty
seized projecting rocks t keep from
being- carried away.
This is an unusually hard trail, at
Cape Perpetua winding1 around the
promontory 500 feet above the break
ers. Here it is but four feet wide and
cut out of solid rock- Several men
have been blown off from here to their
death. Walker makes six trips on
horseback each week over this path.

KILLING WORK OF FIEND
Sailors XT n ion Agent Charged With
Luring Victims on Hunting

From Cabin. Window.
ABERDEEN, Wash.. Feb. 5. tSpecial.)
Because William Gohl killed a dog he
is now in the Cotinty Jai! at Montesano,
charged with the murder of Charles
Hedberg and suspected of Die murder
of .two score other men as well as of the
crimes of arson and smuggling. The story
Is one of the most remarkable in police
history of " the Northwest and if a start
is made with the incident of the dog, the
tale runs like this.
About four weeks ago A. Jacobpen
missed a valuable setter. that he had kept
for several years as a pet. Meeting Gohl
accidentally, he asked him if he bad seen
the dog. Gobi replied that he had and
that the animal had ben stolen by a
pallor and taken on board a tramp
steamer just leaving, thie city for San
Francisco. Jtcobsen so valued the dog
that he swore out a search warrant and
the local authorities ordered the ship
detained while search was made for the
setter.
lo(r Under oIi. Office.
The dog was not found on the boat but
a dnjpr.Jwo. later was found dead
beneath the hall of the Sailors Union of
the Poclflc, of which Gohl was the local
agent and where he had his office.
''This made me so angry" !aid Jacob
sen when speaking of the incident, "that
I determined to put Gohl where he would
do no more mischief and I told the police
.that the man had boasted to me that he
had killed three men,, two of whom were
John Hoffman and Charles Hedberg .who
disappeared in December. Gohl told me
that he lured the men out to his duck
cabin, hot them from the dindow and
disposed of their bodies in the bay.'
Police Look . TJp Career.
Acting upon this Vflret . definite com
plaint they had received about Gohl, the
police began to look into his career more
closely than ever before and searched the
bay for trace of the bodies. Hedberg was
found one day when the sweep of the
tides had uncovered the soft mud that
burled it and the case against Gohl was
worked out and his arrest followed.
The body di not float ashore as has
been said but was uncovered by the shift
ing mud. It had evident lv been buried
in a shallow hole, scooped out near the
shore at low tide and mud and sand then
pile over it.
Gohl has been under suspicion here
for the past seven years, the entire
length of his residence in this section.
His actions have always been peculiar
and on several occasions he has been
arrest?d, on one charge or another, and
sometimes has been fined, but through
political pull he has always escaped
punishment. At various times he has
threatened openly to "get" people ''who
obtained his Ill-will.
Threatened to Burn Mills.
At a joint meeting of the local unions
some time ago Gohl announced In the
hall that If two good men were sent
with him he would burn-down all the
mills in the Grays Harbor country. He
wa s promptly ordered to be quiet. It
was shortly after this that a series of
fires of incendiary origin attracted
much attention to the agent of the
Sailors' Union of the Pacific. On
of these was the fire in the Alaska
saloon which spread tovthe -saloon of
Lee Williams nearby, a man that Gohl
had promised to 'get.'
Shortly after this the Zelasco build'

DENVER. Feb. 6. Women of this city
have started a boycott against the mil
liners. Mrs. 'Claude E. Griffey and Mrs.
Edward L. Prentiss, two young society
matrons, have announced that they stand
ready to start the boycott and scores of
their friends have made known their de
termination to step into line. The trouble
is over the price of hats.
"We have been imposed upon long
enough;" the women announce, "and we
are tired of paying $00 for a hat we once
could buy for J10. It is an outrage and
quite as absurd as any meat or coal trust
demand that was ever made.
"It is nearlns Summer ' anyway," said
Mrs. Griffey today, "and any.' woman
with good looking- hair, false or real, looks
well without a hat."
"And hair," exclaimed Mrs. 1 Prentiss,
"why, the way they charge us for hair
is something1 to marvel at. But think of
not being able to get the simplest hat for
less than $25. If that is not a holdup
game I'd like to know what is."

WASHINGTON. I. C, Feb. 5. The
Gridiron Club gives two dinners each

tonight at the New' Willard was the
Silver Dinner marking: the 25th anni

Wherefore there was a great gathering
of notables a President. Cabinet offi

simple newspaper men gathered from
many states of the Union. All bore off
a remembrance of the happy event In
the shape of a souvenir silver ash re

Entor Troublesome Zelaya.
The fun started almost as soon as
the guests were seated, with a tangle
over the inauguration of the new
president of the club Scott C. Bone,
editor of the Washington Herald, for,
entering untimely upon the scene, came
El Presidente Zelaya. with his army,
composed of half a dozen generals in
Falstafflan uniforms, and one lone pri
vate. Zelaya, looking for a job, had
picked out the presidency of the Grid

only by 'tjie threat that Secretary Knox

'Back From Elba" Boomed.
Scarcely had peace and Quiet been

common report with the movement to
return 'Roosevelt to the White House.
The "Big Stick" figured in this, and in
the fierce glare of the electric light, in
defiance of all rules of secret orders,
and in the presence of several hun
dred "Uitlanders," were dragged forth
and duly initiated the two unfortunate
neophytes of the Gridiron Club, George
Edmund Miller, resident correspondent
of the Detroit News. and John Callan
O'Laughlin, of the Chicago Tribune1.
They were made to forswear all of
the policies of their respective news
papers, and to pledge themselves to be
on the pier to welcome "The Only One"
when he returns from Africa all this
to the chant of "When Teddy Comes
Sailing Home Again. Hurrah, Hurrah!"
I nsurgents Landed Oil Hard.
The insurgents got their grilling, too;
when between courses was rendered an
affecting scene from "Uncle Tom's
Cabin," for this occasion described as
"Uncle Joe"s Cabin, or Life Among the
Insurgents." A presentment of Speaker
Cannon was the clever lawyer "Marks";
another of Whip Dwlght was the brutal
overseer, Legree, and various prominent
insurgents figured as Uncle Tom and his
fellow-slaves, and Little Eva. They were
roughly treated, told that .they had been
deprived of all patronage, and their ap
peals to the Speaker to "resign" were met
by demands for their return to -the Re
publican caucus. Finally, put upon the
block at auction in a dubious market, the
Democrats and Republicans alike holding
off from the bidding, the sale was
stopped by orders from the White House
in the shape of an emancipation proc

ON INTERESTING CURRENT EVENTS
&o 4a Bm That Sawth
Granger States Send Out Word and
Proof of Xo Danger of F.gg
Famine Yet.
CHICAGO, Feb. 5. (Special.) One
million eight hundred thousand strictly
fresh, new-laid eggs are arriving In
Chicago every day from Oklahoma.
Kansas, Missouri, Texas, Tennessee and
Nebraska. They arrive in cases of 30
dozen each, 50,000 cases being received
daily.
So there is no immediate danger of
an egg famine here;
The weather is responsible. It has
been so mild and favorable for the
production of eggs in the South and
Southwest for the last three weeks
that hens are fairly working overtime.
If it continues, say dealers, prices will
gradually decline.
The wholesale price of eggs as made
on the Chicago Butter and Egg Board
today is 27 cents a dozen for "fresh
firsts." On this basis the consumer
will be able to buy the strictly new
laid variety at not over 35 or 36 cents
a dOKen. . .
There are only comparatively few
cold storage eggs left. It is said, about
90 per cent of the holdings having been
disposed of and within another week
or two thia stock will have been ex
hausted. GAYNOR MAKES WORK TEST
Mayor learning What New York
Employes Io for Their Money.
NEW YORK. Feb. 5. Mayor Gaynor
and his assistants in the new munici
pal government have been endeavoring
to find out Just how much some of the
high-salaried city employes have been
doing to earn their money. Several of
them were asked to make, personal re
ports of their duties. Here is a literal
transcription of the report turned in
by a 3000-a-year water register, who
holds office in the Borough of the
Bronx :
"Geraell busnes off water rejecter
Seen that all clorks rive on tim. Seen
that they doo uoty evey day. Seen all

pay billes. Every day to setle all dis
putes. Seen all billes complants look
after. Seen Joe Mole and Malore Evey
day."
Mayor Gaynor's Commissioner was so
pleased with this report that he sent
several short columns of figures to
the Bronx register and asked him to
add them up. A comparison of results
showed that either the resrister or the
Commissioner made a lot of mistakes,
as they were unable to reach the same
totals.
RAILWAY TO GIVE FARMS
Canadian Pacific Proposes to Settle
British Immigrants in West.
OTTAWA. Ont.. Feb. 6. "There is not
the slightest doubt that during the pres
ent year we shall have a bigger immigra
tion of American farmers into the Can
adian West than ever before. Last year
we had 80,000. I am convinced that this
year we shall have over 100.000." Such
was the" opinion expressed by William
Whyte, second vice-president of the
Canadian Pacific, just back from an ex
tended tijip to the Northwest.
"Last year's harvest was the best in
the history of the country, and its ef
fect is everywhere apparent," he con
tinued. 'We shall have this year an Im
mense immigration, not only from the
United States, but from Great Britain.
In regard to the latter, the scheme of
Sir Thomas Shaughnessy. president of

viding farms for Immigrants from Great
Britain, is, I think, the best thing in re

has ever been proposed."

LONDON', Feb. 5. I had an interview
today with Winston Churchill, the only
one of the Important Ministers who hu
returned to London. With characteris
tic plcturesqueness and courage he
summed up the policy of the Ministry;
In these words:
"We must march on the 1 enemies
guns. These words admirably sum th
whole temper of the Liberty party all
over the three Kingdoms. The fight
against the House of Lords mast b
begun the moment the House of Com
mons meets and tht-n pursued to tho
bitter end. however long the struggle
may take. The House of Lords has V

slavery occupied with you before the
Civil War. It may take years and sev
eral elections to defeat the Lords, but
It must remain the dominant demand?
end purpose of the Liberal party till it
ends !n final victory.
"The unanimity of this point is re
vealed . strikingly In the tone of tho
Liberal journals. All, without distinc
tion of ordinary traditions or va ri ac
tion s, show a tendency to send up the
same loud call for pushing- on the Lords
Issue and never relaxing and never
compromising.
Kijrln'on Slavery Is Parallel.
"This tendency to make the Lord
the issue Urst and supreme Is strength
ened by two momentous factors. Firsts
the Tories show such, fright at belnff
obliged to face this issue as to prov
their sense of the hopelessness of tho
defence of the present House Of Lords
They propose all kinds of compromises,
as Stephen A. Douglas and other half
hearted advocates of slavery did. to
Abraham Lincoln. They suggest a con
ference between the leaders of all
psrtles with the view of a reform ot
the House of Lords by National con
sent. This means that they find their
first line of defence impossible .and
recognize that the country will not
endure the present House of Lords onfl
hour more.
-"But, applying the American analogW
again, such a conference is unable to1
arrive at a compromise .acceptable to
both parties as the compromise sug
gested between the Northern and the
Southern States over slavery proved
The Liberals could only accept a prac
tically elective second chamber, whila
the Tories would only propose such
modification of the existing system as
would make the House of Lords less
odious, but perhaps for that reason
more powerful. j

Is the one question which can hold to-
gether the varied and practically con-,
fllctlng sections which form the mi n

The elements of dissent between tho
Liberals and laborers are numerous. Be

so numerous, yet they are numerous and
perilous enough. A fight against thet
