GREATER DEPTH TO BE SHOWN

The iorrnjneftt,. tut George H.
Mendell has commenced the work of
taking soundings on the Columbia,
river bar. la accordance with instruct
tiona recently Issued r Major Lan-.
fltt, U. 8. E. Ths work wUl require,
aeveral days' time, as it Is the lnn
tlon to determine tht ' depth at all
points on tits bar.
The resurrey-was ordered by Major
Langfltt because ot the claim made
that he bar drdf Chinook has, In
the short time- shs has been able to
work at the mouth of the river, pro
vided Increased depth in the south
channel of fuliy two feet There is
two feet more-water there than for

and bar pilots the Increase Is attrttmt.
ed to the dredging operations of the
big government vessel
- In tb Wow has spent about
five working days on tbe bar, because of
unfavorable weather conditions. If shs
has accomplished the results attributed
to her. the engineer department wants
to know about it Immediately, so that
other vessels of ber class can be pro
vided for ror. thls reason the sur
vey has been ordered, snd the' result
of the eoundlngs will be awaited with
much interest.
' There Is not the slightest question
that the bar has deepened two feet or
more, for the pilots, who visit the
mouth 'Of he river every day, keep
close fob oaj conditions there, espe
cially with "reference to the depth.
They are a unit in agreeing that the
Chinook has deepened the bar, and are
satisfied the soundings of the Mendell
will bear out their statement.
- A few days ago the statement was
made that the Chinook was to be or
dered south to the Mare island navy
yard for the purpose of receiving al
terations to her dredging apparatus.
The, report came from San Francisco
and was promptly denied by Major
Langtltt. - It was stated at the time
that the Chinook's boilers would be
repaired If she went south, but this
statement was likewise pronounced er
roneous ;byMajor Langfltt. However,
it has been said by members of the
crew of the dredge that her boilers are
In need of repair, and some of the re
cent agitators, who complained be
cause of their differences with Cap
tain Dunbar, have said the dredge
would be unable to do good work un
less repairs were made. Major Lang
fltt says there is but one boiler on the
vessel which is not fit for service, and
; that the dredge can be operated sue-
ressfully with the remaining seven- :
GOES TO WILLAPA BAT.
Captain Richardson ' will leave out
i this morning with the U. S. 8. Colum
; bine for WDUtpa bay, where the tender
' is to, do some work on the bar. Cap
tain Richardson went down to the
: mouth of the river yesterday, but re
turned to his dock because of the thick
fog which hung over the ocean and
the heavy swell that was on at the
time. ' Tbe Columbine Is to replace
several buoys at Wlllapa bay, and
calm weather Is essential for work of
this sort. , If Captain Richardson Is
lucky he will finish at Wlllapa in one
day, but If the weather does not turn
off fine he will be away over night.
The buoys are aboard the tender.

HOMICIDE IS
THE CHARGE
Not Specified but so Implied by
Verdict Rendered at Coro
ners Inquest
DEFENDANTS MAY BE JAILED
None of tbe Accused Will Talk
for Publication Present
Grand .Jury May
Hear Charges.
Chicago, Jan. 16. Although the
coroner's jury which has Just rendered
a verdict In connection with the Iro
quois .theater disaster did not make
any specific charge against the per
sons held, the Implied charge Is homi
cide, as each was held to be respon
sible in a measure for the death of
the Iroquois victims and the coroner
had no authority to fix a bond. If ar
rested, the defendants must remain In
jail until released on bonds fixed by
some court. , " f
There Is a possibility that the' pres
ent grand Jury will hear the charges.
Two days' time is estimated to be all
that will be reqquired to present the
matter to the grand jury, and the
present grand jury has five days of Its
session left and It may find time to
dispose of the matter. Owing to the
great amount of clerical work involved
the mlttlml were not completed until
today. ,
Mayor Harrison and Fire Chief
Musham refused to be seen when called
on after the verdict of tbe Jury had
been handed in. The mayor sent word
that his son was sick and he himself
had a sore throat and that he would
say nothing until he arrived at his of
fice. Chief Musham bad left word, It
was said, at his home, that he was not
to be disturbed. ,
"I will say nothing," replied Build
ing Commissioner Williams to ques
tions put to him.
"Tou will defend yourself , In the
courta If the matter Is carried to
trlair he was asked.
"Tea of course, as any' man would.
But I can not talk."
Harry J. Powers was surprised that
the Jury had completed Its findings so
soon.
' Will J. Davis declined to come to
the door of his residence to discuss the
verdict. .
