A disastrous and costly llro yester
day morning ravaged the newest in
dustry which tho Coquille river coun
try had secured and laid in waste
$140,000 worth of property, two
miles east of Bandon.
Tho J. II. Price shipyard was the
scene of tho conflagration, and when
tho flro was discovered it had made
such headway that there was no sav
ing tho ships which were in building.
There were two steam schooners on
tho ways, tho Daisy, which was near
lng completion, and the Flfleld,
which waa about half finished.
Tho flames started in tho hold of
the Daisy and wero caused from
smoking, according to tho best au
thority obtainable. Some small at
tempt wa3 mado to slay the hungry
flames, but they soon spread to tho
Flfleld, and that boat was quickly
wrapped about by tho leaping cle
ment. Reports wero at first current
that tho llro had originated on tho
deck of tho vessel, but further ex
amination proved to tho contrary.
There was a night watchman on duty,
V, and there 13 some surpriso that the
''Yviames wero not discovered before
W they had gained such headway.
jF Tho Daisy was the more costly boat
o tho two destroyed, .and her con
tract prico was $50,000. This loss
was practically complete, sinco tho
boat wa3 to havo been launched in
about ten days and was nearly fin
ished. The Flflold was being built
for A. F. Estorbrook, of San Fran
cisco, and was due for launching
some time In August. Her valuo is
put at approximately $50,000.
Tho fire was discovered at 12:50
in tho morning, and last evening
there was still fire In the ruins. A
third hull had been laid, and this
, escaped destructlonv
"VjSTho company hadearly In July
jv otallod a new llaner and handsaw
a considerable cost and these wont
wi.h tho plant. Tho furnace was
within fifty feet of the Daisy, and tho
Flfleld was fifty feet from the Daisy.
Tho flro readily communicated to tho
Flfleld.
Tho plant was employing sixty
men and tho owner Is not yet de
cided on whether tho plant will bo
re-built. Tho location was across
tho river from tho Lyons and John
son sawmill. Tho Insurance amount
ed to about two-thirds tho actual
loss. J. H. Price, tho owner of tho

San Francisco, July 10. Very lit
tle was accomplished today in the
trial of Louis Glass. Assistant Dis
trict Attorney Honey mado tho open
ing statement to tho jury for tho
prosecution, in whicii ho outlined the
steps by which he expects to prove
that tho president of tho Pacific
States Telephone und Telegraph Com
pany paid Supervisor Boxton, now
temporary mayor of San Francisco, a
$0,000 brlbo to vote aGalnst tho
Homo Telephone Company's applica
tion for a rival franchise. ,
Then Dr. Bovton was called to tho
stand. Though ho is to bo tho star
witness for the people his examina
tion today was so skillfully and fre
quently interrupted Uy Attorney Del
mas for the defenbo that when,
shortly beforo tho noon recess, he
gave way temporarily to Clerk Ryan,
of tho Board of Supervisors, nothing
of vital importance had been elicited.
Examination of Ryan, who has served
on tho Supervisorial Board since
1SS3, was directed by the prosecution
to establish the Identity of the ap
plication submitted by tho Homo
Telephone Company.
It was momentarily interrupted by
Attorney Deluias, whose views of
what Heney might and what he might
not ask under tho law were at vari
ance with the assistant district attor
ney's. Tho minutes of tho board
wero under examination for intro
duction in proof of the making of
that application and the subsequent
awarding of a franchise to the Home
Company when the forenoon session
was adjourned. It Is expected act
ing mayor Boxton wll tomorrow go
on the stand and tell tho story of his
disgrace.

Secretary Taft Evpected to Agitato
the Matter.
Washington, July 10. Secretary
Taft is expected to deal In his annual
report with a matter which has been
a subject of great importance to tho
military authorities and which has
been brought about by a condition
for which there appears to bo no
legal remedy. This Is tho discrimi
nation by proprietors of amusement
places against enlisted men wearing
tho uniform. Tho administration's
effort for legislation which will pre
vent such discrimination will bo sec
onded by tho Navy, as Its men also
havo suffered from the samo cause.
DEWEY SAYS NO AVAR DANGER.
The Pacific Has Had Inadequate Pro
tection. Utica, N. Y July 10. Admiral
Dewey said this morning that tho
transfer of war ships to tho Pacific
was wholly a peace movement. Ho
says that no war Is In sight and that

lantic fleet will be built.
Man Implicated In Steuenberg
Murder Case Give His
Testimony.
DENIES ORCHARD'S STORY
Innocent of Crimes Charged
Against Him,
MAKES GOOD APPEARANCE
Will Resume Stand at 0:30 Today
For State's Cross-Ex-
aminatiun.
Boise, July 10. Charles M. Moyer
went 011 the stand today for hl3 fel
low defendant, W. D. Haywood, and
besides making a positive denial of
all tho crimed attributed to him and
tho other Federation leaders by Or
chard, he offered an explanation of
the unsolicited appearance of the
Western Federation of Miners as de-
! fender of Orchard after Ills arrest
at Caldwell for the Steunenberg mur
der. lie swore it wa3 Jack Simpklns
who engaged Attorney Fred. Miller,
of Spokane, at Caldwell, to represent
Orchard, then known as Hogan; and
that It was at the request of Simp
kins that Moyer and Haywood sub
sequently subscribed $1,500 from the
funds of the Federation to meet the
oxpeuses of defending Orchard.
Moyer mado a belf-possc3sed address
and at tho end of tho long day tho
defonso expressed its satisfaction
over both his testimony and the prob
able Impression ho made on the jury.
Ho is a man of good appearance
and address and his low-pitched voice
is pleasing to hear. Ho displayed
somo nervousness when he flrst faced
the courtroom and worked it off on a
lead pencil ho carried, but tho ex
amination had not proceeded far
when ho seemed quite at ease. Ho
will resume tho stand at 9:1)0 to
morrow morning, when the State will
onter upon its cross-examination. His
direct testimony took a wide latitudo
and tho way is open for an eaually
wido cross-examination.
Yesterday the members of the
Haywood jury had an outing that
cveryono of them thoroughly en
joyed. A large, easy-springed carry
all was hired and the whole number,
Including four bailiffs, took an ex
cursion to the Barber dam. There
quito a long stop was mado while the
jurors breathed In the puro country
air and inspected the products of the
mill. It is planned to charter., a car
on the Boise Valley lino for a trip
to Ustick and the cemetery today.
Yesterday 20 witnesses called to
Boise by tho defense left theVity for
their respective homes. Some start
ed In tho forenoon and tho rest went
last evening. Among them wero a
number who wero not called to the
stand. Ono of the witnesses beforo
leaving said:
"I was not called to tho witness
stand by tho attorneys for tho de
fense for tho reason that I refused
to mako an affidavit beforo I was
called. They wanted mo to mako a
signed statement of tho principal
things I would testify to and I.
wouldn't do it. I understand that
overy witness they called to the
stand had to that before they would
put thorn on and several of us wero
turned down when wo refused and
found our per diem pay cut off."
It is explained that the defneso at
torneys havo suspected that somo of
their witnesses would suddenly "turn
turtle" if placed on tho stand and
used tho above described precaution
ary measures beforo putting a wit
ness on to testify. It has been ru
mored that ono witness tho defonso
had been expecting to give some val
uable testimony was discovered to be
a Plnkerton detective when the time
camo that Attorney Darrow and
Richardson requested that he give
them a signed statement. That wlt-
ness, It 1b Bald, will now go on for
tho state In rebuttal. ,
