San Francisco, July 24. Three of
tho officers of the steamer Columbia

N. W. 3-4 N., when the accident hap
pened and the weather was foggy at
tho time. Captain Doran was on
the bridge. About 12:15 a. m. ho
(Agerup) heard a whistle on tho
starboard bow. Ilo kept the Colum
bia's whistlo going continually, and
so did tho other steamer. The
sound kept coming from the star
board. About;-12: 3 0 he saw vthe ves
sel's headlight and' rod sidelight.
The Columbia was gplng at full speed

While blowing tho second blast,
the other steamer blew one whistle.
Tho captain then ordered engineer,
"Full speed astern," then the cap
tain blow three short blasts. Soon
afterwards tho vessels collided, tho
Columbia being struck about 30 feot
aft of her stem. Captain Doran
shouted, "What are you doing,
man?" and told the other steamer
to stanil by ub, as she was loaded
with lumber. 'The captain whistled
down to the engineer room -to find
out if tho vessel vul making water,
but got no answer. Agerup says he
want down to the engine room and
asked tho first assistant engineer if
there was any water there, and ho
said there was not.
Returning to the bridge, Agerup
reported to the captain, and at the
same time the watchman came on
tho bridge and reported water was
streaming In forward. Afeorup tells
of the captain ordering boats and
rafts lowered and concludes by tell
ing how he jumped Into tho water
nnd was picked up later.
Third Officer Hawse's statement
picks up the story almost where Age
rup's end3. Hawse was in bed when
fio accident happened,- Ho rushed
on deck and heard tho captain or
dering tho boats lowered. At the
same time, the captain shouted,
"Women and chiJdron first." Hawse
hurried to the lee side and lowered
boat six, . Ho directed tho loading
of It, and pulled away from the ship
with 15 persons In it. He rowed to
tho San Pedro and deposited his pas
sengers and woht back to tho seen
of the colllsldn, picking up people

He says up to the time the San
Pedro was sighted the Columbia was
going at full speed, but htat the or

did not exploso as the whistle was
blowing when the Columbia went
down and the electric lights were
burning until the vessel passed out

In his version of tho accident, says
he heard the Columbia's whistle off
his port-bow. He ported the helm a
couple of points. As the sound came
nearer ho ported the helm again.
All the time sounding the fog signal.
Then tho Columbia's two blasts were
heard. When he saw the Columbia's
lights he gave four blasts, the danger

Boise, July 23. Forsaking the
theory of veng.ance as Orchard's mo

son argued today that Orchard was
in tho employ of the PlnUerion De

He Wishes It Were Possible For
Him to Attend the
Meeting.
San Francisco, July 93. When
the industrial peace conference is
called to order at 2 o'clock next
Tuesday afternoon in Christian Sci
ence Hal, Dr. Edward R. Taylor,
the city's newly chosen chief execu
tive, will ueliver an address of wel
come to the delegates. This, it Is
expected, will be the -mayor's first
public appearance nince he assumed
office.
The exact time of Oscar S. Straus'
address ha3 not been fixed owing to
the uncertainty as to his other plans.
Ho will address the conference at a
time most suited to his own conven
ience. Tuesday evening ex-Mayor
James D. Phelan will speak on "The
Public, the Third Party in Interest."
A letter of regret has been receiv
ed from Seth Low,' ex-Mayor of NewjIX JAUj WIIERE SMALLPOX HAS
York and former president or Co
lumbia University, in which ne says:
"I wish ery' much that it were
possible for me to accept your invi
tation to attend this conference, 'for
I .can think of no subject more timely
or of greater significance for the
welfare of your city and of the coun
try. Every such conference ought to
do something to develop the senti
ment out of which must ultimately
grow the solution of the industrial
nroblems of the present day. It Is
impossible to believe that employer j
and employe can permanently act up
onthe .thqpvy thatJudustry is arwar
be-twpen -the- parties concerned-innshould lieget ball before th' ni-i when it is shown that tho rentals
whiclTthe public at large has no in- bargo is lifted, and E. J. Zimmer.Jof the Ferry building alone aretwo
tQrqst', the consequences of which the
public at large must bear with what'
philosophy It can.
"Such a conference will doubtless
ha attended not only by employers
and employes, but by representatives
of the general public as well. The
first step otward better conditions
has been taken when the mutuality
of' tho interests Involved Is time
clearly recognized.
"The next step demands a yIlling
nes on the part of the employer and
th'e omplbye to provldo a remedy for
Industrial war by trade agreement, by
arbitration, or by whatever other
method can be devised to substitute
the decision of reason in such contro
versies for the conclusions, -of main
strength. Both capital and labor
niut be wllllng'to try to find a meth
od of getting on together and both
mut learn to keep their agreements
with each other In Uie spirit and,in
the letter." '
Lbor Commissioner Charles P.
Nolll, whose effort "were largely In
strumental in settling the telegraph
ers' strike, replied to an invitation to
atfend the conference in part as fol
lows: "1 am In the heartiest sympathy
with every movement that brings
employers and employed togqther for
free and direct discussion of matters
that aro at once of common concern
to themselves and to. the .genpal
public, and it would" have been a gen
uine pleasure to attend yourt con
tomplated conference, .but," unfortu
nately, I have .been called to Washr

'Forewarned Is Foreanued" Paper
Says Meet Should He Sent to
Philippines tit Once.
New York, July 23. The Herald j
this morning prints a double-leaded
leading editorial, headsd, "Mr. Roose
velt's opportunity to prove himself
a statesman," the first half of which
reads as follows:
"Critics of California's -attitude to
ward the Japanese would do well to
read, mark, learn and inwardly digest
the opinion expressed in this relation
by M. II. de Young, proprietor of the
San Trancisco Chronicle, published
yesterday in the Herald. As a San
Franciscan and director of a big, pro
gressive newspaper, Mr. de Young
is eminently Qualified to speak from
first hand comprehensive knowledge
on the subject of conditions prevail
ing on the Pacific coast. And when
he asserts that "race prejudice" in
connection with the Japanese does
not exist there, and that any friction
which may have developed in the
relation between tho United States
with Japan Is due, not to the "stiff
ueckedness" of Callfornlans, but to
the unreasonable susceptibility of
Japan, the statement may be accept
ed without hesitation.
"From the exaggerated importance
attached to trilling incidents by the
Japanese, Mr. de Young is led to con-
cllI(l llat tbey are seeking a pre -
text tor tuture action, ana ne ap-
, proves unreservedly the decision of
President Roosevelt to transfer an
American fleet to tho Pacific. Fore -
warned is forearmed, and If trouble
does come, It is well that the United
States should be in a position to deal
with It promptly and efficaciously."
The Herald proceeds to advise that
the fleet be sent to the Philippines
via the Suez Canal.

Reclamation of Tide Land Is
Considered by Legislative
Commission.
OUTLINES COMING REPORT
Chairman Says Experts
Be Consulted,
INSPECTION OF HARBORS
Senator Wright Says the People Do
Not Heallze the Value of the
. Waterfronts.
San Francisco, July 23. To com
plete the comprehensive plan for the
improvement of San Francisco's wa
ter front and "harbor that will be
recommended by the joint legislative
j commission now sitting In this city
to the next session of the legislature,
the members are busily engaged in
considering the means of lightening
. as much as possible the tax on shin
ping in the bay. While not excessive,
the San Francisco tax has been as
high as other United States ports,
land it is with a purpose of reducins:
taxation that various schemes are
now under advisement by the com
mission. The proposed bond issue
of forty millions of dollars will be
expended on the permanent improve
ments, while the traffic of the port
will fully cover the running expenses.
Should the latter, however, fail to
do thli, a plan must be provided to
meet the emergency.
According to a member of tho com
mission, an attempt will bo made to
ascertain the acreage of the over
flowed lands that can be reclaimed
from tho bay. It Is his theory and
belief that if this land proves to be
extensive enough warehouses and
Improvements can be built by the
satte to aid greatly in paying- the
expenses of the water front. This
aid will come from rentals that the
state could charge merchants and
shippers for tho uso of warehouses,
cranes, beltroads and tho like. Tho
enormous amount of revenue that'
could be 'derived from those- reclaim-1
e(i -lands Is easily
made apparent
rj-1and three times the amount of ttie
original sinking fund.
In the harbor of San Diego, said
Senator Wright, when 'interviewed on
tho matter, the rentals alone nay the
cost of tho state's improvements.
Every foot of water front land Is
valuable, and In time thero will not
bo a foot of land on the San Fran
cisco water front from the Presidio
to the San Mateo county line that
will be wasted, or can be spared,
l'he growth, too, will spread to Oak
land, and both sides of San Francisco
bay will comprise the finest harbor
in the world.
Senator Wright Is also In favor of
the reclamation idea and believes
ftliat Its use would rosultriin the re-
ductlqn of tho rate of taxation ot
shippers. "Now Is the time to do
thousands of tons of , debris that
would be invaluable as 'a filler, and
if thero was a seawall constructed,
Jthe demand for the debris would be
Hjreat. This commission will go over
pjvory foSt of the watof front, make
carerui inquiries una ascertain jusc
how much land can he reclaimed
from the wators of the bay. Tho
actual figures, of course, will be left
by the coiumfsslon in the hands of
the authorized engineers."
, In speaking ot the work to be done
In tho harbor, Sonator Wright says:
Tho people of the state have not
Hyot come to the realization that this
prQperty belongs to tho state. They
Mo. not reajlzo what a magnificent
business investment Hesbfor'e thorn,
(neltboa do they know tho valuo of
what they possess. JThe water fronts

and the nation. 1 would includ Sau
Pedro, but at the present time 'hera
Is no state control at tho port.
"It is violating no confilence,' con
linuel the chairman of the Legisla
tive Commission, "to outline tho re-no'-t
that tho Commission will pre
sent to the Legislature. In the fir3t
place will come the brief resume of
the property ownel by the state and
by Investors on the several water
fronts. A section will bedovoted to
showing the profitable and paying
Investments that tl)o state has ma do
at the various harbor3, no better il
lustration being afforded than the
reference cf the Harbor Board to the
Income earning of the Ferry building
at San Francisco.
"We shall spend four months In
compiling data and visiting the vari
ous harbors -of the state. Then a
skeleton report will be prepared and
submitted to the State Harbor Boards
and engineers of those harbors for
further criticism and suggestion.
When this is completed the proposed
recommendations will be printed and
sent broadcast for theperusal of the
civic and mercantile bodies and tho
people at large.
