PAGE SIX. THE MORNING ASTORIAN, SATURDAY, APRIL 9, 1904. INDRAPURA " GOT TO SEA Liner Did Not Wait for Deputy ; Marshal to Serve Papers in Libel Suit CROSSED OUT AT EARLY HOUR By the Time the Marshal Se . cured a Launch the Lluer Was Out-Other Marl time Happenings. The oriental Hner Indrapura was not arrested yesterday morning in the libel suit filed against her - for 15,000 by the British & Foreign In aurance Company, The deputy mar shal who brought down the papers was Just a trifle slow, and the big vessel got to sea before he could make service upon the captain. The papers In the case were placed in the hands of the deputy and that officer arrived in Astoria on the night train. The Indrapura had meantime reached Astoria and proceded to the lower harbor. The deputy doubtless believed he could serve the papers at daybreak yesterday morning, so he hunted up a hotel and piled Into bed, The Indrapura's manifest had been sent down to P. I Cherry by mail. bo the master of the vessel was not required to come ashore. The deputy's troubles commenced when he rose at 4 a. m. He started out to find a launch to take him down to . the lower harbor, but It was o'clock before he finally secured one. Then he hastened for the lower har bor, and an hour after leaving the city was rewarded by seeing the big liner cross over the bar. He was about 30 minutes late. Up in Portland they have some pretty smart people people so smart, Indeed, that they are always right- when they are wrong. When there are any warrants to be served In this county, especially on masters of ves sels, the Portland wise ones select one of their number and entrust him with the duty. As a rule, the officer hunts up Sheriff Linvllle, who does his work for. him. Telegraphic instructions to the sheriff yesterday afternon would have succeeded in holding the big liner, but as it was the libelants will have considerable difficulty now in making service. The opinion was expressed yester day that the master of the Indrapura was notified that his vessel was to be arrested, and he Is believed to have hastened to sea to avoid the deten tion. Locally satisfaction was ex pressed that he escaped the intended 'detention, and his action in outwit ting the Portland people caused a broad smile along the water front FUTURE OF THE INDRA8. to Rumor That They Will Return Take Away Lumber Cargoes. A rumor was persistently repeated in the shipping quarter that the three "Indras," which have been In the serv ice of the Portland & Asiatic Company, are to return to this coast in the lum ber business. The Pacific Export Lum ber Company, which was credited in the report with having made the deal denied any knowledge of it Captain Home of the Indrapura on his depar ture told his friends he would be back Boon, which would Indicate that he had been apprised of the future move merits of his steamer. It is known that the Indravelli was also offered to the Pacific Export Com pany for a time charter, but the offer was declined, as the vessel was not considered suitable. The Indravelli, on her arrival at Hongkong, will retire from the Portland and Asiatic service and the Indrapura will, do likewise when she reaches the south China port The Inrasamha has one more trip to make to the Columbia, after which she, to, will be returned to her owners, and the places of these vessels will be taken by the Hamburg-Ameri can liners that were lately chartered. It is probable that eventually some of the Indras will find their way back to this port as tramps. all of the tablets caught in this coun. try would be returned. When Customs Officer Chauncy St John had notified the newspaper men doing duty about the federal building of his selsure they Immediately tele phoned to their respective offices for photographers, for the beautiful tablet of green stone was a relic of more than passing Importance and It was a "good story." The photographers were soon on the scene, and the pree lou tablet was taken out on a back roof, where the light would permit of Its being photographed. In the mean time the secretary to the Chinese le gation had been notified of the selsure and he had started down to the fed. oral building to reclaim the tablet for his government. No one noticed when a photographer balanced the tablet up on the edge of the railing about the roof in order that he might have thesun full apon It. A heavy gust of wind or a touch of the coat sleeve would have sent it crash ing down to the pavement, BO feet be low. Just as he was pressing the button of his camera there was a piercing cry from the doorway behind, and from it rushed the Chinese secre tary of legation. He stumbled over to the precious green stone, seised it from its precarious resting place and wrapped it tenderly in the folds of his jacket. "That man would have lost his head in China," gasped he, Indicating the photographer. "The safety of this stone Is worth the lives of a doien such as he. It contains the soul of an emperor dead these 3,000 years." Marine Notes. The gasoline schooner Delia depart ed yesterday for Nestucca.

MSgnWS8 ELEGANT OFFICE BUILDING. Erect The Peril of a Soul. A little over a year ago the customs officers seized in the baggage of an American army officer returning from China one of the famous mortuary tablets of jade from the Innermost temple in the forbidden city of Pekin.

Stones Marking Heroes' Graves Dam aged by Blaze. New York, April 8. Mischievous boys have caused great damage by lire at St. Mark's cemetery, a burying ground 200 years old at Orange, N. J. The shrubbery had become unusual ly dry and a party of boys started a blaze which spread quickly to the cemetery, thickly planted with trees and shrubbery to protect the curious stones marking the resting places of many heroes of the revolutionary and civil wars. The firemen worked more than an hour to check the lire, which by the time they reached the scene, had spread all over the grounds. Hun- areas or me oia neadstones were cracked and ruined, while the more pretentious marble column were ser iously damaged, entailing a heavy loss. bad given the Chinese assurance that j wording.
