XEW . ATLANTIC L1XER KEADY
Canadian Pacific to Start Missanable
for England October 22. .
J. V. Murphy, general ag"ent here of
the passenger department of the Cana
dian Pacific Railway, is in reoeipt of
complete descriptions of the fast new
liners, Missanable and ' Metagama,
which are to be placed in service in
the transatlantic trade, the Missanabie
being scheduled to sail from Montreal
and Quebec on her maiden voyage Oc
tober 22. The Metagama will be avail
able in the late Fall.
The Missanabie was launched June
22 at Whlteinch and has been completed
without loss of time. She is 520 feet
over all and has a beam of 64 feet, the
depth of hold being 41 feet. The gross
tonnage is 13,000 and her displacement
18,000 tons, her cargo capacity being
400,000 cubic feet measurement, all be
low the main deck being reserved for
freight, with three of the 'tweeh-decks
arranged for refrigeration. The vessel
will carry 520 passengers in the cabin
and 1200 third-class, while her crew
will number 300.
The decorations of the saloons and
all lounging and smoking-rooms is of
the Georgian period. There is a gym
nasium, hospital and numerous other
conveniences, while in every respect
the construction is modern and the
equipment includes the most recent ad
vances in maritime appurtenances. She
is a twin-screw steamer and her ma
chinery consists of twin sets of quad
ruple expansion engines, and there are
eight single-ended boilers. She is to
have a cruising speed of 16 knots.
FAKRELL TO TESTIFY SOOX
Masters of Coasters Add to Story of
Lioss of Steamer Ieggett.
Captain F. A. Johnson, of the gaso
line schooner Tillamook, and Captain
Harry Valbusch, of the gasoline
Schooner Patsy, testified before United
States Inspectors Edwards and Fuller
yesterday in connection with the loss
of the steamer Francis xl. J.eggett, as
the Tillamook and Patsy recovered four
bodies each of those who went down
with the vessel., James A. Farrell, one
of the survivors, who Is at the Good
Samaritan Hospital, may give his tes
timony tomorrow. .
Captain Valbusch said that one of the
bodies -picked up by his crew a week
ago was yet limp as though death had
occurred but a short time previously.
All had on life preservers and that they
sustained the bodies is evident from
the fact that they floated with parts
6f their heads out of water.
Inspectors Edwards and Fuller began
their investigation promptly Monday
morning, when Captain Macdonald, of
the steamer Frank H. Buck; Captain
Mason, of the steamer. Beaver, and
George Poelman, a survivor, were heard
and special telegraphic instructions ar
rived later directing that the inquiry
be started without loss of time. Re-
oorts that the Leggett went to sea
from Hoquiam with her hatches oft are
not. credited by owners of the vessel,
and as the two rescued are not sailor
men it is doubted if any expert testi
mony will be available to prove posi
tively the cause of the disaster.
CRAFT JTJST LEARNS OF WAR
French Bark Hailed by Coaster and
Told or Fighting.
Not until the French bark -Gen. de
Sonls was oft Tillamook, when she
spoke a coaster, did Captain Besnord
learn that France was at war with Ger
many. He said yesterday that a Bel
gian sailor aboard the coaster mega
phoned the news to the Gen. de Sonis.
Naturally there was excitement on
board, which had not abated when the
vessel reached Mersey dock in tow of
the steamer Ocklahama. The mate has
been mentioned as one who may return
home to join the colors and it is not
Improbable others of the crew num
bered with the reservists will go back.
C. Henri Labbe, French Consul, said
that there had been a number of in
quiries among French subjects who
wished to return and some may start
home during the next two weeks, as
they must be in France by the night of
November 1.

chronometers for the Oregon Naval
Militia training ship-Boston and another
for the hydrographic office, which were

WEST'S CHARGE DENIED
R. A. CAPLES EXPLAINS REASON
FOR STAY IN STAT13 HOSPITAL,
Victim of Governor's Attack Asserts
That Executive's "Idol" Also Took
Cure for the Drink Habit.
PORTLAND, Or, Sept. 26. To the Ed
itor.) I am only one of many upon
whom Governor West has vented his
spleen for having had the temerity
openly to oppose his election four years
ago when I refused sycophantically to
bend a knee In deference to his self.
Imagined greatness.
In making his charge that I had
been an Inmate of the insane asylum
the erratic Governor knew that I vol
untarily went to the State Hospital, as
many of his personal friends have gone,
to avail myself of the splendid oppor
tunity to recover from a prolonged
period of hard drinking. He knew that
I admitted frankly that It was from
a case of badly shattered nerves I suf
fered and that, unlike his political idol
and other friends, X did not attempt to
hide my fault or misfortune behind
the polite term of "nervous prostra
tion." Knowing this, was It the act of a
manly man. one fitted to be the Gover
nor of a great state, to attempt to be
smirch me by the assertion that I had
been committed to the asylum and but
recently released?
However, the analysis of his cow
ardly act proves only In keeping with
many other contemptible moves which
have disgusted so many of the right
thinking men and women of the state.
How Governor West and the Journal
hope to advance the candidacy of
their polit leal -non-partisan-Roosevelt-
i Follette-Wilson-eta Democrat by
calling attention to a long past misfor
tune or delinquency of mine, is cer
tainly beyond me.
That lack of comprehension, perhaps,
proves my mental incapacity.
However. I have quit drinking and
my journalistic detracyrs and their
candidate have not. That's one point
of difference.
There is a great deal to be written
not touched upon In this communica
tion that would prove of vast interest
to the public, which will be presented
from time to time, as these personal
"slaps" continue. Each will have its
answer and they may or may not help
the Journal candidates.
Do Governor Wast and the Journal
desire me to make public the name of
the "great" man and official who first
told me of the excellence of the State
Hospital as a "bracing-up" place, hav
ing. I understand, availed himself of Its
treatment after periodical debauches?
The State Hospital is "patronized"
by a good many men who need a tem
porary retreat who are better known
In the financial, professional, commer
cial and political life of Oregon than
myself. The difference between this
institution and a private sanitarium is
the matter of $50 a week and it com
pares very favorably, no doubt, to the
"sobering up" ward of Mercy Hos
pital In Washington, patronized by
some highbrows who suffer "nervous
prostration" from "overwork" In the
interests of the dear people who pay
them a nrlncelv salary.
A couple of years ago I read the
greatest of human interest stories that
it has ever been my good fortune to
peruse. It was the story of the release
of Sam Leake, one of the leading men
of San Francisco, from the alcoholic
fetters which bound him. I tried the
same course and I am glad of the op
portunlty of expressing publicly my
gratitude for tba teachings of Christian
Science, which released me, as it has
thousand of others, and I am proud
to be able to say that my influence
during the past two years has caused
not a few who suffered as I suffered to
find surcease and relief, by taking up
the study and practice of this truth.
Governor West has an unhappy habit
of exaggeration or of adding one or
more untruths every time he states a
fact. In telling the people that I had
been for a few weeks in the State Hos
pital he says that I was committed.
never was. I went there upon my own
motion.
West also states that from time to
time I have been in the employ of
the Republican machine. Therein, of
course, he tells another untruth, but
one more or less does not matter to
him. I 'have never been employed by
a Republican machine or Republican
committee of any kind in my life.
The Governor's recent ebulltlon of
spleen directed against Judge Benson
and other outbreaks against the char
acter of gentlemen the latches of
whose shoes he is unfit to fasten, as
far as ability, intellect and decent.
manly manhood is concerned, stamps
him a bad character with an ugly, un
happy disposition, taking advantage of
his high position to corroborate almost
dally the opinion of the country that
Oregon has a freak for a Governor.
. Every person who differs with Gov
ernor West or assumes to express a
contrary opinion is either a thief, a
dog, a renegade, an irresponsible per
son or anything else that is low and
degraded. If I were working now for
the election of the slate made up in the
Journal office and forced down the
throat of the Democratic party by the
power of that paper's publicity and its
policy of abusing everybody who is not
in accord, while covering up" the worse
delinquencies of some of its candi
dates, I would even now be slated and
rated as "a good fellow, a bright,
brainy chap."
