Current reports in Coos Bay mar
ine circles avouch tho threatened
tie-up of the steam schooners run
ning into Bandon from San Fran
cisco. Should this occur all tho

ously affected by tho present crisis.
At present out of tho total of 201
coast vessels, over 80 are tied up in
San Francisco harbor. Ten of these
101 are owned by independent own
ers who have announced their inten
tion of running their vessels subject
to the marine engineers' rules.
Every vessel is now tied up ex
cepting those belonging to tho Cas

Lumber Company and the Loop Lum
ber Company. Over 200 engineers
are now estimated to be idle. It is
believsd tho present tio-up will last

MORE HOT SHOT FROM
PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT
BREAKS HER LEG IN
SIDESTEPPING KISS
Hero's a Warning to Tho Girls In
Tho Action of A Woman Who
Jumps From Window.
PHILADELPHIA, Pa., March 2.
Rather than submit to a kiss from
John Kelly, a boarder at 213 McAl
pino street, as she said, Mrs. Delia
Riemlck of Sixty-second street, near
Locust, leaped from tho window of
Kelly's second-story room and broke
her leg. She was taken to the Uni
versity hospital, where sho told her
story.
According to her explanation,
Kelly had approached her as they
both stood in a hospital dispensary,
and had said he was the brother of
a former girl friend of hers. Ho in
vited her to visit the sister, sho said,
and sho accompanied him to his
room.
There, sho told tho physician, ho
locked the door and tried to kiss her,
wheroupon sho took a flying leap
through tho window. Kelly did not
aid in picking her up. Ho packed
his two suitcases and left.

ft
Reference to the Recent
Difficulty.
Editor Times: As there lately ap
peared in the columns of Tho Times
an articlo which places tho Sumner
school before tho public in a very
unenviable and undeserved light,
will you 'kindly allow me space iu
your columns to correct tho errone
ous Impressions caused by tho article
in question. A long residence in
Sumner and a personal acquaintance
with every child in tho school has
convinced tho writer of the fact that
no district in tho stato of Oregon
can boast of a more moral, intelli
gent and obedient lot of pupils than
those who compose tho Sumner
school; a statement which will be
confirmed by formor teachers who
havo taught successful terms hero,
and left, regretted aliko by pupils
and patrons. It is true that of late
our school has been torn by dissen
sion, and rented by discord, a coj
dltlon of affairs for which outsldo In
terference is believed to havo been
largoly responsible, and for which
tho pupils aro In no wise to blamo,
being merely tho hapless victims of
circumstances, and deeply do thoy
feel tho humiliation of having been
placed before your readers in tho
guise of a lawless mob. As for tho
alleged assault by 12-year-old Jlm
mlo Stock, tho school Is practically
a unit in declaring that tho attack
was mado upon instead of by him,
and that ho did nothing worso than
seize and hold tho stick of stovewood
with which ho was being belabored.
Tho lato teacher having resigned,
tho position is now filled by Miss An
na Waldvogol, a most estimable
young lady of Bandon, who had
charge of our school last year, and
under whoso benign sway no discord
marred tho session. Sho wa3 joy
fully welcomed by her former pupils,
who know that sho Is their friend,
and no stronger proof of Iter regard
for them could bo desired than tho
fact that sho was willing to resign
a flno position in her homo town and
return, to bring order out of chaos,
and restore peaco and harmony to
our discouraged and well nigh dis
tracted school, Respectfully yours,
SUMNERITE.
