THE MORNING ASTORIAN, SUNDAY, MAY 1, 1904. L 1 "'"'" 1 " " : II COMPLAINT MADE BECAUSE OF DELAY IN JEWEL IMPORTATION But One Government Appraiser in Coun try and He Is Stationed at New YorR --Another Wanted at Chicago. Chicago. April SO. Chicago Jewel ers have begun a movement to do away with delays In receiving precious stones from abroad caused by the fact that there Is but one competent Jewel ap praiser In the employ of the govern nent. who Is stationed, at New Tork. The" appointment of a similar official in Chicago Is urged and the Jewelery iealers declare that the city Is not tecognlted as a port of entry for gems and la not given equal rights with New York ctty. Chicago la listed as a port f entry, but the Jewelers claim It Is not such a fact. A local firm recently was notified that a shipment r.t imuorted Dreclous atones and Jewelry had arrived at the custom house. Delivery of the shipment, how ever, was denied until the goods had been shipped back to New Tork for appraisal by an expert, and, as a re sult three weeks of costly delay were experienced by the firm. , THREE DIE IN WRECK. World's Fair Special Runs Into Open Switch and Is Derailed. Klramswlck. Mo.. April 50. The fast morning train on the St Louis, Iron Mountain & Southern railroad, known ma No. 18, running as a world's fair special, was wrecked one mile and a luJf from here today. The engine truck an open switch, and, with the exception of the last sleeper, all the coaches were derailed. Three train men were killed and 11 passengers in jured. The dead: ENGINEER BAILEY. MASTER MECHANIC TABOR, De soto, Mo. Fireman Gumpert was fatally In jured. The wreck occurred while the train was going at an excessive rate of speed. Last night thera was trouble with a freight car on one of the fast trains, and it was necessary to aban don it on the main line 'near Wickes Siding. Orders were Issued for all northbound and southbound trains to use the switch at this point. Instead of , the main line. Conductor Austin says he. read the order to the engineer and handed a copy to him. The engine turned completely over, pinioning Engineer Bailey beneath the wheels. Master, Mechanic Tabor, who was riding In the engine, was also in stantly killed. The baggage car was thrown nearly 100 feet from the wreck and demolished Two coaches directly in the rear of the baggage car were badly damaged HAN AND WIFE CRAZY. Fanatical Holy Rollers Placed Under Arrest in Linn County. CorvalUs, Ore.. April 30. Sheriff Huston and Deputy Munkers of Linn county arrested Frank Hurt and his wife this morning at the Reach cot- tasre. across the river, and took them to Albany to be examined as to their sanity. They have lately been roam ihff around the neighborhood bare; headed, with their hair uncombed and hanging over their shoulders, and, oc casionally they have crossed the river and appeared in Corvallis. Frank Hurt appeared on the streets here yesterday with nothing on but an mndershlrt and a pair of overalls, but when an attempt was made to take him Into custody he took to his heels, renrhlnr his boat and escaped Into linn county. s There seems to be no doubt that he. his wife and the young est Seely girl, who lives with them. are demented. Edna Seely, the elder sister, who Is not a convert to Cretueld's doctrines, came up from Oregon City last night, and at her request the Linn county officials arrested the younger girl for the purpose of turning her over to the Boys' and Girls' Aid Society of Portland. Mrs. Creffleld, who is living at present with her parents in this city, is acting in much the same man ner as the parties mentioned, and It Is believed it will only be a question of a short time till she will have to be sent to the asylum.

Eugene, Ore., April SO. A sensation was caused here last evening about o'clock, when County Superintendent of Schools W. M. Miller assaulted City j Superintendent A. F. Bechdolt. The! atercatlon occurred on a prominent business corner and attracted a large crowd. It seems that the trouble started the other day, when Superintendent Bech- dolt thrashed the son of Superintend ent-Miller severely for an Infraction of the rules of school. The boy received Injuries from the beating which neces sitated the services of a physician, and he was unable to attend school for sev eral days afterward. The board of di rectors took the matter up, and dur ing the Investigation It appears that Superintendent Bechdolt declared that some statements made by Superintend ent Miller were not true. The two met on the street shortly afterward, and Miller struck Bechdolt in the face with his fist. Bystanders prevented further trouble. c COOP ER the Associated Press. About 200 guests were present.

ASTORIAN PUBLISHING CO ) Indian and Two Sona Picked up by Steamer in Nick of Time. Vancouver, B. C. April 30. Chief: Julian and his two little sons were snatched from a watery grave only Just In the nick of time by the steamer Comox. The Indians were caught in a blinding southeast gale, their boat was swamped, and they were In the water four hours before the Comox rescued them at Evans Bay. When Chief Julian left his camp at the north end of Cortez island all was calm. By noon, however, It blew a gale. But the Slwash, proud of his new boat, kept on, with the Inevitable result that when off Evans bay the boat was swamped. Filled with water, she still kept afloat, and the Indian lashed his two boys one aged 9 and the other 12 to the mast, while he strove by padding to guide the craft the rocky shore of Reade lwland. Chilled to the bone, with the seas breaking over them every minute, the plight of the party was fearful when the Comox was sighted making for shelter from the gale. The rescue was accomplished with great difficulty. Governor of Colorado Dsolared to Be Usurper by Attorney. Denver, April 30.--Governor James H. Peabody la declared to be an usurper In a lengthy brief Bled before the supreme court today by Attorney E. F. Richardson In the habeas corpus case of Charles H. Moyer. president of the Western Federation of Miners, who is held as a military prisoner at Tellurlde. Governor Peabody Is compared by Richardson as a sotdler drunk with power and his acts In trying to sus pend the privilege ot the writ of habeas corpus, to acts of tyranny practiced on people of England by the olden kings. luaves the factory, ait "RYlntArif.A Pnnfint?
