DAYAND river Roanoke and Kilburn Leave for San Francisco. LURLINE RACES TELEGRAPH Knappton Mills Shut Down While Mill Hands Load the Churchill San Jose to the Bar Yesterday Several Clearances. Sentence is Seduced. '- SAN FRANCISCO, August 17 United States Supervising Inspector Bermjng Bam today reduced the sentence of revo cation of the license, imposed by the United States local inspectors at Port land, upon George Curtis of the light house tender Heather, to suspension of four months after July 25, and struck out of his license the endorsement giv ing hi mpower to serve as a master of unlimited tonnage. Curtis allowed the Heather to run into the jetty at the mouth of the Columbia River. The steamer Lurline, according to Pilot Scott, opened up her get-away tank yesterday morning, leaving out of Portland, and kept alongside the flying little Telegraph for a distance of six teen miles. For a short distance the boats were so close in the channel that two of their respective employes were shaking hands across the "muddy chasm." It is not often the Lurline mis behaves herself in this fashion but she let out a few kinks yesterday, just for the sake of the olden days when she was a crack liner. She is still a com fortable and a popular steamer. She went up last evening with the following people on her cabin lists: Mr. and Mrs. M. Nolan; W, Glennon R, Jones, George , Sheppard, 0. G. Parker, Mrs. R. W. Get and D. C. Aiken. Loading of the British ship Vermont at the Tongue point Lumber Company's docks, is not proceeding as fast as it should because of the scarcity of labor to do the work. Up to yesterday but 300,000 feet had ben loaded, and pros pects are that the work will not be finished for ten days later than wis estimated on. This fact will entail a hardship on the lumber company who are compelled to pay demurrage at the rate of $400 a day for every day over the time agreed upon when the loading should be finished. About ten more men are needed. Among the passengers out of Astoria yesterday morning on the Roanoke, were J. H. Johansen, of Seaside, to San Fran cisco; Matt Frederickson to Eureka; and Mrs. Carty to the Bay City. Sixteen fishermen, with two boats and nets, were also on board, from this port. It is said the Columbia Mills at Knap ton are so short of men that it has be come necessary to shut down the plant and use the mill hands in loading the schooner Churchill for her return to the orient. The steamer F. A. Kilburn came down early yesterday morning loaded to her scuppers and carrying all the people the law permits her. She went to sea and San Francisco, at 9 o'clock.

MOTHER'S MIND UNBALANCED Daughter of Mn. A. K. Jarvis Says Physician Advised Her to Send Mother to Asylum Says neighbors Meddle "The entire story is a lie, and started simply by a few meddlesome neighbors.' With these words, Mrs. Ida Cooper, otherwise known as Ida Jarvis, heatedly denied the charges that she had mis treated her mother, and caused her to be falsely imprisoned in the Insane Asy lum at Salem, and further that she had abused her little boy. Mrs. Cooper, who is an inmate of the Waldorf dance hall in this city, was seen last night and questioned regard ing the statements appearing in yester day's Oregonian. She was very indig nant and said that she would not think of doing her own mother any wrong. "I sent her to the asylum wholly on the adviee of the doctor. She was in ill health, unable to eat anything, be cause of grief over her husband's death. and these things finally weakened her mind, so that the doctor advised me to have her committed to the asylum until she should recover. "I thought she would be given better care than if allowed to remain with me. Anyway I had no money, and it was totally impossible for me to support her. It is my intention to remove my mother from the asylum just as soon as I am able to save enough money to keep her, and the physician says she is able to travel." Mrs. Cooper denied that she had been warned to leave Portland by the neigh bors. She asserted that she had only been in the metropolis a few times, and then but for a few days. Her statements are confirmed in this respect by Chief of Police Gammel, who stated last night that Mrs. Cooper had resided in Astoria for the last two years.' Her husband is also living here, working as barkeeper in one of the saloons in the tenderloin. The two are however said to be separated. "I never abused my little boy, and neither does Mrs. Botsford," continued Mrs. Cooper. "This Mrs. Stewart seems to take a lot of interest in my affairs. Who she is, or why she is telling all these lies, I cannot say." t A story related in connection with the marriage of Mrs. Cooper's mother, is to the effect that when she met Jarvis, he led her to believe him a rich capital ist of Los Angeles, and she likewise de ceived Jarvis as to her financial status. Each believed the other to have means. The awakening to the facts in the case came in Los Angeles after the couple had returned from their wedding trip to Portland. The two were stopping at one of the fashiosable resorts in the southern city at the time. The thought that he had married a woman of no means, accord ing to the papers in Los Angeles, drove Jarvis insane. The end came to his part in the affair the morning following the revelation, when the bride of a few weeks, awoke to find the body of her 559 & STOKES CO.
