Lucas, aged 51. who lives In Lake county, California, and J. W. Rennels, aged 52, 217 East Fourth street, Albany, Ore., were drowned and five others had miraculous escapes from death when a launch in which they were riding Sunday struck a submerged fishtrap piling in Bear river straits. The rescue of two women and two small children by F. A. Lucas, broth er of one of the drowned men and one of the owners of the townsite, was as heroic as it was sensational, Rennels and I. A. Lucas were seat ed in the stern of the boat when it struck and both were precipitated into the water, in the widest part of the straits, two miles south of the town of Chetlo Harbor and away from any available help. The two men began to swim for a mud flat 250 feet away. When about 50 feet from the mud flats Rennels sank. Lucas reached the flats and started for Chetlo, but fell into a slough and was drowned. As soon as the launch 'struck, and F. A. Lucas, a brother, took In the situation, he swam to the mud flats and wawed in mud kneedeep to the shore, then raced over the sharp stones for three miles, barefooted and naked, scaling a bluff and climb ing through slashings to the mill, where the rowboat was anchored. It was then a pull of two miles back to wnere the launch was pin ioned with its human freight. Stead ily the tide kept rising and each min ute brought the two women, Mrs. F. A. Lucas and her sister, Mrs. H. C. Courter, and her two children, Lo leta, 9, and Kermit, 7, of Portland, nearer their doom. As the water rose the women boost ed the children a little higher up on the bow of the boat and later upon the nose of the launch. All the time they kept their composure, the little girl and boy praying that their uncle might return in time. In the distance, two miles away, they saw Lucas land safely upon the wharf. The children waved to him, and he was encouraged. Faster and faster he rowed and faster and faster the tide kept rising until it had sub merged the women and children to their necks, when, exhausted and bleeding from his terrible race over stones and through slashings, Lucas reached the Imperiled women and children. They were safely taken off and returned to Chetlo Harbor. Lucas' 'feet, legs and body are a mass of cuts and bruises. The water was dragged all night by men who came from Chetlo Harbor and other adjoining towns. Rennells had come north to take charge of some of the work at the new townsite. JAPS SELECT SITE.

New York. Hereford Marshall, counsel for "Jack Sullivan" (Jacob Reich), the go-between between Po lice Lieutenant Charles Becker and Jack Rose, now held in the Tombs in connection with the murder of the gambler, Herman Rosenthal, an nounced Tuesday morning Sullivan was ready to tell all he knew on the witness stand, and that his story would prove more astounding than any yet told. Sullivan, he said, would not talk to either the police or the district attorney. The Indictment and arrest of Beck er for the murder of Rosenthal, soon after the confessions of "Bald Jack" Rose, "Bridgie" Webber -and Harry Vallon, revealed to District Attorney Whitman the "police system" in all its hideousness. "Bald Jack" Rose confessed that Becker came to him and, fairly des perate over Rosenthal's intention of telling all he knew of his relations with the police lieutenant, said: "Rosenthal has lived too long. He has got to be put out of the way." Rose told the public prosecutor and the grand jury how the murder band was hired at the instigation of Becker, and that after the killing Becker met Webber and himself promised complete police protection. The confessions show that the mur derers, members of the notorious "Big Jack" Selig gang, plied them selves with liquor and then went out to shoot Rosenthal for a price said to be $5,000. Terror-stricken, Rose, Webber and Vallon spent Monday night in the public prosecutor's office, fearing that they would be murdered if they were taken to the Tombs prison. Dis trict Attorney Whitman believes his case against Lieutenant Becker is without flaw; that the confessions, taken separately, dovetailed, and from the testimony of other witnesses the case against Becker cannot be I broken down. "Bald Jack" Rose, gambler, who says he was Becker's gambling house collector, felt the ground slipping from under him day by day. With out money or friends, he realized that he was being made to bear the weight of the crime. His counsel ad vised him to confess. Rose became completely terrified. To his counsel, James M. Sullivan, he said: "If you see to it that my wife and children are protected, I'll come across and tell the truth about this. I am afraid it will be the end of me. No cell on earth can be strong enough to keep the life in a man who gives up about this killing." Intimations were made to Rose that an Indictment might be expect ed against him, and then he con fessed. Counsel for Webber and Vallon. catching the drift of things, also ad vised their clients to tell the truth and become immune. Rose told District Attorney Whit man that for a long time he had been Becker's gambling house col lector; that Becker, as head of the gambling house squad, smelled out profitable Vaees. and that each month collections were made Becker did not get all the money, Ros;e says, but some of it was distributed to others. Rosenthal was a thorn in Becker's side. Becker had pressed Rosenthal to the wall, according to Rose, and he threatened to "make things pub lic." Six weeks before the killing. Rose says, Becker sent for him and said Rosenthal must be made away with. Rose says he went out and saw "Big Jack" Selig to make a deal for his gunmen. Selig was under indict ment for carrying concealed weapons and the possibility of a stay in Sing Sing prison did not appeal to him. Consequently, Rose says, when a promise was made to see that noth ing happened when Selig came to trial, there was no trouble getting the gunmen. All the gunmen were Informed to be ready to kill Rosenthal, who in the meantime had been shadowed day and night. A few days before the killing, Rose says, he met Web ber and Becker, and while the three were talking it over Becker said to Webber: "This job has got to be done and Rose says they won't do it Tor him. Now, Bridgie, you can get it done. They all know you. You have got the money and I have got the power, I'll protect everybody." Of the real murderers, Rose says: "These poor devils did not know what they were doing. They were full of booze. They had been told to kill and they went out and did what they" were told." Webber and Vallon in their confes sions supplied many missing links in the confession of Rose. Speaking of Becker and his alleged connection with gambling, Rose said: "Why, of course, 1 was Becker's collector. Everybody knew it." STEAMERS COLLIDE. Accident on Ocean Disables' Vessel During Fog. Boston. More than 300 returning excursionists from Maine resorts went through an ocean accident off the New Hampshire coast amid fog and darkness early today, when the wheel steamer City of Rockland, from Kennebec river for Boston, hud her bow crumpled in a collision with the collier Chisholm.

Although, onions win grow in a large variety of soils, they thrive best in a rich, mellow soil, with plenty of moisture. Just what fertilizers and soil treatment to use is explained by J. C. Leody of Sher wood, one of this year's seniors at the Oregon Agricultural College, in an article on "Soils and Fertilizers for Onions" in the Oregon Country man, published by the 6tudents. "For commercial onion growing in Oregon the beaver meadows are prac tically the only ones given considera tion, says Mr. Leedy. "These lands are located mostly in Washington. Clackamas and Marion counties.! Theoretically these lands have re- I Rllltari frnm Vw, ....... J . if ,,, ucoitis umuing up streams and outlets to Ink the name; but nature has played a use pan in tne soil formation, in many cases without the aid of beav ers.". After a detailed description of the soil and an analysis of certain kinds of onions, Mr. Leedy continues: "Barnyard manure is almost indis pensable in the production of onions in any except the beaverdam soils, and is more used than any other fer tilizer even on these soils. Indeed, there is no fertilizer so well adapted to the production of onions as a lib eral amount of clean, well-composed barnyard manure. It is important that all stable manure used on onion land be well rotted before applied to the soil, in order that the weed seeds may lose their germinating powers, and that the danger of disease at tacking the onions may be lessened. A heavy application of fresh manure may produce an overgrowth of tops at the expense of the bulbs, and is sure to bring in a large amount of weed seed, increasing the cost of weeding. It is difficult to make the soil too rich for onions, provided the manures are well incorporated with the soil. The usual amounts, how-' elve tons to the e plowing n the wed with the disc evar, are ten or tw acre, applied before fall, fcnd then harrowed before planting in the spring "Where enough manure is not pro duced on the farm, and where it cannot be secured profitatbly from a nearby city, commercial fertilizers must be resorted to. They can sup plement stable manure profitably, especially on the beaverdam soils, al ready rich in organic matter. In some instances commercial fertilizers are used exclusively with good re sults. One great advantage over sta ble manure is the fact of reducing the weeds to a minimum, thus less ening the expensive production. A higher Initial cost than stable ma nure tends to offset the disadvant ages in weeding. As it is an inten-1 sive crop, yielding large amounts of bulbs to the acre, growers are justi fied in manuring heavily." DARROW ON STAND. Closing Sessions Find Defendant Witnessing for Himself. Los Angeles. Clarence Darrow took the stand on his own behair Monday during the close of the ses sion of his trial. Darrow told of his connection with organized labor as an attorney, detailing numerous cases in which he has been interest ed. Regarding the McNamara case he declared he was relifctant in ac cepting it and related that pressure was brought to bear on him by labor leaders which finally induced him to take It. He spoke of his dealings with Mrs. McManigal and George Behm, uncle of McManigal, and said he asked Behm to find out from McManigal whether the stories printed in the newspapers purporting to come from him were true, and ' he said to tell McManigal if they were not he would defend him also. Darrow said he never had a conversation with Berm j with reference to getting McManigal to change his testimony. Getting down to the present case, Darrow in response to a question de clared he never had any conversation with Franklin concerning the bribery of jurors and did not give him a check for that purpose. He paid ' Franklin a check for $1,000 on Oc tober 14 and another on October 15 for expenses of the office. MEXICO WARNED. Atrocities Against Americans Must Be Stopped at Once. Washington..
