COOPERATION ADOPTED
Civic and Municipal Bodies of
North Bend and Marshfield
to Act.
Mayor L. .1. Simpson of North
Bend. C. A. Smith of the C. A. Smith
Lumber and Manufacturing Com
pany, Mayor E. E. Straw of Marsh
field and C. J. Mlllls, the Coos Bay
representative of the Southern Pa
cific Interests, were last evening
selected as a committee to call on
E. H. Harrlman and invito him to
visit Coos Bay this summer and also
to urge him to complete the Drnin
Coos Bay line at an early date. The
four gentlemen, It is planned, will
meet Mr. Harrlman either at his
summer home near Klamath, Ore.,
or at San Francisco or Portland dur
ing his coming western trip. They
will carry with them resolutions
from the Marshfield Chamber of
Commerce, the North Bend Chamber
of Commerce, the Coos Bay Chamber
of Commerce, and probably the city
councils of Marshfield and North
Bend urging the necessity of the
early construction of the Drain-Coos
Bay railway and assuring him of the
goodwill, friendship and cooperation
of Coos Bay in the project.
Meeting Last Evening.
These steps were taken at a meet
ing of Coos Bay business men at the
Chamber of Commerce last evening
at which Dr. E. Mingus presided as
chairman. Francis E. Clark drafted
the resolutions embodying the points
suggested and these will be referred
to the North Bend Chamber of Com
merce and the city councils of Marsh
field and North Bend, probably to
night, for their endorsement. The
resolutions have been adopted by the
Marshfield Chamber of Commerce
and tho Coos Bay Chamber of Com
merce, the latter being an organiza
tion of the Marshfield and North
Bend Chambers of Commerce to act
on matters that affect tho entire Bay.
It Is proposed that at the coming
conference, the entire matter con
cerning tho securing of the railroad
be gone over so that, both the South
ern Pacific and the citizens of Coos
Bay will know what the other ex
pects. With these preliminaries re
duced to a definite basis, it is be
lieved that the matter can be quickly
and amicably worked out.
J. E. Oren, Francis E. Clark and
M. C. Horton were named as a com
mittee to take the matter up with
the other civic and municipal bodies
and have them unite in the resolu
tions and program.
SELECT COMMITTEE TO
COOPERATE ON SEWER
South Mni-hhfleld Property Owners
Arrange For Building of Largo
, ' to"" $& 9,,c ,.
''At'a meeting of the'SouthMarsh-
fletd'property owners at the city hall
last evening, a committee was select
ed to cooperate with tho city engin
eer In selecting plana for a sewage
system to cover all of that portion of
the city south of Mills Slough. The
membors of tho committee are prom
inent property owners and are gjven
full power to act and to incur such
expense as is necessary to secure an
adequate sewage system for that sec
tion of tho city. They are Chairman
F. S. Dow, J. E. Oren, C. J. Mlllls,
George Balnes, J. Merchant, A. Han
sen, A. H. Powers and Dorsey Krelt-
zer.
F. S. Dow was chairman of last
evening's meeting. City Engineer
Sandberg has completed preliminary
plans for the sewage system and the
new committee will meet with him
Wednesday evening to go over them.
It Is barely possible that an expert
engineer may be brought In from out
side to consult with Mr. Sandberg
and aid him in tho work. The pro
posed system will probably cost up
wards or 175,000.
DREDGE READY
AROUT AUG. 15
Will Be Towed to Coos Bay to
Bagin Improvement of
Harbor Then.
The new government dredge under
construction at Portland for use on
Coos Bay will be completed and test
ed about August 5, and will be ready
to be towed to this port about Au
gust iu to begin work, according to
a letter just received from Walter
Lyon, secretary of the Chamber of
Commerce, who was sent to Portland
to see that the dredge wouldn't be
diverted to some other point. Mr.
Lyon says that It is practically cer
tain that Major Mclndoe, who suc
ceeded Col. S. W. Itobssler recently
In charge of the government work
on the North Pacific coast( will is
sue tho order just as soon as he re
celves the letters from Coos Bay
banks notifying him that sufficient
funds are deposited here to operate
it. These letters will be sent today
or tomorrow. Dr. J. T. McCormac,
president of the Chamber of Com
merce, has so notified Mr. Lyon by
wire and he has also Instructed him
to remain at Portland until It Is ab
solutely certain that the dredge will
be sent here. s
Dredge Powerful One.
Mr. Lyon says that the dredge Is a
largo powerful one and the experts
who have seen It are very much
p'rased with It. It has a capacity
of G.000 cubic yards per day but in
soft mud, like It w'll work In the
Coos Bay channel most of the time, it
can handle from 7,000 to 9,000 cubic
yards per day. Inspector Starkey
who has had charge of the dredges
around the Puget Sound for a num
ber of yenrs, will have charge of the
dredge here. Mr. Starkey has sug
gested that an Inspector be sent to
Coos Bay In advance of the dredgo
to Instruct local property owners
how to construct bulkheads and, etc.,
for the disposal of the dredglngs.
While small retaining fences will
hold the dredged dirt In filled lots, it
will be necessary to fill all localities
and not leave a low lot here and
there which would become a menace
to tho public health.
It Is the intention of Major Mc
lndoe and Inspector Starkey to have
the dredge go over the entire chan
nel first and cut down the high
ahoals that cause the most trouble to
navigators now. As soon as the
shoals are cut down, the dredge will
start In to" deepen and widen ,the en
tire channel systematically.
McGrnth Is Coining.
Mr. Lyon says that he also had a
conference with T. J. McGrath, head
of the Holland and European line of
steamships which Is likely to make
Coos Bay its port. Mr. McGrath said
that the steamers of the line had a
draught of about 33 feet and was cer
tain that the harbor and bar here
would accommodate them providing
suitable docks and warehouses can
be obtained. Mr. McGrath was called
to Puget Sound a few days ago but
hopes to return to Portland In time
to accompany Mr. Lyon to Coos Bay
to make arrangements for his ves
sels coming in here.
British Consul Laldlaw also in
formed Mr. Lyon that he or his son
would be on Coos Bay within a short
time to appoint a vice-consul or con
sular agent for this port.

cently brought against him, Henry
S. Mouslcy, a private detective, and
Mrs. "Julia Fleming have been -arrested.
The police also questioned
Mrs. Ben Teal, wife of a well-known
stage manager. Miss McCausIand
approached Gould's attorneys and
told them of the alleged plan to In
jure their client. They took her to
the district attorney's office where
she made a full statement of the sub
stance of the matter which she claims
was broached to her ten days ago by
Mrs. Fleming, who represented her
self as coming from Mrs. Teal and

Murderer of Mrs.
Eberhard.
(By Associated Press.)
NEW YORK, July 21. No trace
has yet been found of August Eber
hard, the grocery clerk, who Is sus
pected of the murder of his aunt,
Mrs. Eberhard, and attack on Miss
Eberhard. The girl is just recovering
from the shock and injuries, but stli;
gives a disconnected account of the
affair.
As near as can be interpreted, the
following is the gist of the girl's
story:
purlpg , the intense heat Sunday
afternoon Eberhard suggested i.
trolley ride, when near Hackensack,
the nephew suggested a walk In the
woods and all three left the car. To
ward evening Eberhard claimed to
have lost the way. A storm broke
and the trio pushed ahead down the
track until In a deafening crash of
thunder, Eberhard stumbled, "I have
bean struck by lightening," the aunt
screamed. At the same instant, Miss
Eberhard says she saw a flash com
ing evidently behind a car on the
railroad siding, then a second and a
third. As her mother fell, the girl
felt a bullet graze her own neck,
cutting a thin gold chain. Suddenly,
Eberhard urged her to run and a
seeond bullet plowed into her shoul
der. Turning to see her mother, a
third bullet hit the bridge of her
nose, the blood and wound blinding
her. Through the darkness and
storm, the wounded girl plunged on
until she reachod a cottage where she
was taken In until the storm passed.
Thon the police were notified. The
body of Mrs. Eberhard was found by
an engineer who notified the police.
Upon examination, it was found that
she had been shot twice and was
dead when the train struck her.
Eberhard, tho nephew, disappeared
In the darkness.

made a statement compromising Mr.
Gould. She had several interviews,
3he said, with Mrs. Fleming, Mrs.
Teal and Detective Mousley at which
Mie details of what she was to testi
fy to were discussed. It Is alleged
that Miss McCausIand was to testi
fy at the divorce trial that Gould had
been intimate with Miss Devoe, an
ictrcss, in Mrs. Teal's apartment.
Miss McCausIand first consented
o go into the scheme but after she
signed the statement before notary,
ihe became alarmed and decided to
lotliy the authorities. Both Mrs.
Teal, her husband and the attorney
claim that she is the victim of cir
cumstances. "There is nothing to it
ind we are sure it will come out all
-Ight," said Teal. "Neither Mrs.
Teal nor I know either or the
Goulds. You see that friendship
could not have been a motive and cer
tainly It was not money. We are
both good friends of Bessie Devoe.
Miss McCausIand came from St. Paul
with a letter of introduction to Mrs.
Teal from Mrs. Teal's sister. My
wife gave her work as a seamstress
and a week ago the girl came to me
and asked for a place as a chorus
girl."

tion of Anti-Injunction Law
Need.
(By Associated Press.)
LINCOLN, Neb., July 21. The
action of Justice Anderson of the Su
preme Court of the District of Co
lumbla, citing Gompers, Mitchell and
Morrison to show cause why they
should not be punished for contempt
for the alleged violation of the in
junction against the American Fed
eration of Labor and, Its officers, In
the Buck Stove and Range Company
case, has excited considerable gossip
here. Bryan will make no comment.
The case Is directly within purview
of the plank of the Democratic plat
form relating to contempt outside the
presence of the court. It is believed
that Bryan will seize upon It as an
illustration of the need of a law
which will accord the accused trial
by jury.
