VANCOUVER. B. C, June 20. (Spe
cial.) Habeas corpus proceedings were
trought by attorneys for the S76 HIn
dus now marooned aboard the ship
Komagato Maru In Vancouver harbor
todav. but uo to a late hour tonight
no service could be made on the lm
migration Inspectors who have the case
of the Sikhs In hand.
DodKlne nrocess servers Is a new
scheme in the line of events which
nave made up a string of chapters In
keeping the East Indian Invasion out
of British Columbia, for it is feared
that once the Hindu question gets into
court months and months must elapse
before the question can be solved, and
then nerbaDS with a victory for the
Hindus.
Warships Cause Uproar.
The Hindus aboard the Komagato
Maru were In a great state of excite
ment this morning. There Is no doubt
that their countrymen ashore have pre
pared them to look for sudden action,
following the arrival of the Japanese
warships. When the Japanese flagship
today passed close to the Hindu steamer
her rails were lined with turbans
waching the proceedings.
A great uproar was in progress
aboard the Komagato Maru. The Hin-
dus were evidently working up exclte-
ment, and there was . considerable
artlvity along the decks.
The Japanese officers of the Koma
gato Maru were busy establishing com
munication by signal with the flagship,
and later in the day Captain Tamamoto
went aboard the warship Asama and
told his story. He is eager to return
the Hindus to the Orient, but the Hin
dus hold the crew In terror.
Armed Force Right Doubted.
No armed force of Japanese blue
Jackets can be placed aboard the
Komagato Maru while she is in Brit
ish waters, is the opinion of men con
versant with International law. While
the Komagato Maru remains in British
waters the Japanese cruisers can only
staud by in case of trouble and place
their men on board after the mer
chantman has passed outside territorial
waters, or, in other words, the three
mile limit
If the threatened row does break

be to place militia on board to pre-
serve order, as the port has no navai
force available. The militia would con
trol the situation on the steamer until
she reached the three-mile limit, and
then the cruisers could take a hand.
This would enable Canada to emerge
with clean hands in any further inter
national arguments which might be
raised.
Careful Policy Necessary.
Even if the Japanese do agree to
assist, the Canadian government will
have to see the vessel out of the ter
ritorial waters, which means Bome
where off the shore of Vancouver
Island. This policy means that the
officials will have to arrange for the

SOME LEADING
Fiiuncoiii
IN WESTERN OREGON
Step Taken at Session
at Commercial Club.
THREE VALLEYS REPRESENTED
New Organization Will Sell
Through Distributors.
OTHER BODIES PLANNED
Seven District Associations Embrac
ing Four Northwestern States
to Be Formed to Market
Fast-Increasing Crops.
A combination of fruit growers in
Lhe Willamette, Kogue River and Co
lumbia River valleys was effected at
the Commercial Club in Portland yes
terday to provide future co-operation
In cultivating, harvesting, packing.
shipping and marketing the orchard
products of this territory.
The organization will be Incorpor
ated as the Western Oregon Fruit Dis
tributors and will operate In co-operation
with the North Pacific Fruit Dis
tributors of Portland and Spokane, or
ganized a year ago.
The Western Oregon organization
will confine Its efforts only to the
ni-finn ration of the fruit for market.
The actual marketing will be done by
the North Pacific Distributors.
Objects Are Outlined.
Thai nrincinal obiecta of the new or
ganization, as outlined at the meeting,
are:
To procure stability and uniformity
of pack and grade.
To provide the ability to mantel in
carload lots and to pool cars.
To eliminate the middleman.
To create a world-wide market by
sninrlod azents for Northwest
ern fruit In the principal cities of the'
world.
As soon as the Secretary of. State
crrfl.nt.fi a. charter the new organization
will be placed on a permanent basis.
Charles E. Brand Temporary. Head.
Temporary officers elected are: Presi
dent, Charles B. Brand, of Roseburg;
secretary, J. J. Conger, of White Sal
mon, Wash. 1.

.! imlnna In the territory that it is
designed to serve. There will be no In
dividual memberships. A grower must
join through his local union or not at
alL If his local union does not elect
to Join the distributors, the grower
must join through the affiliated union
nearest him.
It will not be permissible for the or
ganization to make a profit. A fixed
charge will be levied against each unit
of fruit shlDDed. If any surplus re
mains at the end of the season it will
be pro rated among tne growers in pro
portion to their respective tonnage.
In forming the organization tne .local
growers followed a plan previously out
lined by the North Faclflc Fruit Dis
tributors.
Seven Districts Planned.
Seven other similar district organiza
tions are to be formed to embrace the
four Northwestern states, " Oregon,
Washington, Idaho and Montana. Mon
tana will have a district of its own.
Others will be at Walla Walla, Wenat-
:hee. North Yakima. Hood River, Boise
and Spokane. All these districts will
market their fruit through the North
Pacific Fruit Distributors.

VIENNA, ;une 20. Nine terribly
burned and mutilated bodies, the splin

the charred remnants of a big dirigible
balloon are the mute records of one of
the most traglo disasters since man
learned ,to fly.
The catastrophe, which resulted In
the death of all concerned, followed
mimic attack by the aeroplane on the
dirigible at a great height at the Aus

show, more than any previous accident
to flying machines has done, the horrors

time he was to keep out of range of any
of the mosquito craft which might seek
to attack him. The news had gone
abroad that something In the nature of
a sham aerial fight would take place,
and at Koenigsberg, the scene of the
engagement, a big crowd had gathered.

Just in time to avoid an actual colli

rise until It was about 1300 feet from
the ground. The aeroplane, at a still
greater height, maneuvered until It ap
peared to be nearly over the airship.
Then it made Its descent. It was the
evident Intention of the pilot of the
aeroplane to take up a position direct

nose of the biplane struck the envelope
of the airship and ripped it wide open.
