WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 14, 1D08. 1 THE MORNING ASTORIAN, ASTORIA, OREGON. SPAN, DEMAND DOCK Court of Inquiry on Iredale Com pletes It's Tf$X. OFFICERS, CREW EXONERATED Costa Rica and Roanoke Bar-Bound in Port Charity Johnson to tht Cota Rica Samson Will Tow Louis South, The aaval court at Inquiry sitting with Vice Consul P. L. Cherry, In the matter of the wreck of the British bark Peter Iredale, completed Its task yesterday and the findings of the court are summed up In the statement that the disaster was not the result of any fault of master, officers or crew of the Iredale, but was due to pure mis chance and hidden perils of the sea. The court dissolved at 4 o'clock yes terday afternoon and Captains Will iams and Roberts returned last night to the metropolis and their respective ships; the crew of the Iredale will be paid off this morning at 9 o'clock and they will disperse to the wide winds of heaven on various and sundry oth er craft that are needing the services of good and able-bodied seamen. The grave issues of the Iredale are out of band, in the vice-consulate just in season to make room for the equally grave disaster that has befallen the British ship Galena. Cbarles H. Johnson of this city, who was reported to have gone to the steamship Geo. W. Elder as first of' fleer, has changed his mind and gone back to his old line, the Portland-(As-tor!a)-San Francisco company, and Is now on board the steamship Costa Rica in this port en route to the Bay City, where he will formally join the Costa Rica as first officer and con tinue In that service until further no tice. He is an able officer and a good man, and the Astorlan wishes him a pleasant term of service whevere he may be. The steamship Costa Rica arrived down from Portland early yesterday morning en route to San Francisco and went to the bar, but finding things' not to her liking returned to the O. R. & N. pier and will make it out this morning. She has 54 passengers In her cabins and twenty in the steerage, and at this port added the following: In the cabin, Mr. and Mrs. J. P. Rog ers, Mrs. A. McNally and Miss Clara Bryan, for San Francisco; in the steer age, C. N. Burgess and F. Mucale. The worn tutr Samson has bee chartered to tow the ftve-nmsto schooner Louis, which lately enter? port waterlogged, to San Frumitico, and will leave out with her tow at the first moment the bar permits. Cap tain Jones will then reiurn to the SiuMnw for two other vessels he Is engaged to tow south. Roanoke officers report that the steamship Geo. W. Elder will prob ably leave out of Portland, on her run opposite to the Roanoke, on Saturday or Sunday next. The schooner Compeer Is already for sea, having finished loading at th Astoria Box Company's dock. She will leave for San Francisco as soon as she can get decent weather over the bar. WANT GOLD CUP. I The steamship Roanoke, Captain Drummond, came down from Portland at 10 o'clock yesterday morning with 140 people on her lists, and berthed at the Callender pier, where she took on about 150 tons of freight and sev eral people, and will leave down and out for San Francisco, Eureka and Los Angeles at 7 o'clock this morning.

Ky., Nov. 11 The plan for a concrete maritime highway across the Isthmus of Panama to be used as a substitute for the ditch as at present projected has been submit ted to President Roosevelt by Colonel Alexander Hoagland known through out the United States as the "Father of the Curfew." The plan which has Doen me subject or correspondence and between President and the En gineering Department and Mr. Hoag land Is now In the hands of the canal building of a concrete highway at the bottom thirty feet above sea level and which will resemble a viaduct In pas sing the low portions of the Isthmus. The advantages claimed for It nre that It will allow the rivers to be pas sed under It thereby obviating the dan" ger resulting from freshets; doing a way with the necessity for Impoun ding a vast quantity of water from the Chngress and other rivers In the ar tificial lake by the Gutun dam and finally avoiding the necessity of an Immense annual expense for dredging and keeping the canal clear and es pecially where It passes through the artificial lake.

NEW YORK. Nov. 13. The Times today says that the labor situation on the New Tork Central looked threat ening last night, A deadlock with n much uglier feeling, the paper de clares, has been reached on that road. The Times says members of the board of adjustment, which body has been treating with the New York Cen tral officials, complained of the slow ness of the latter and said they were tired of the situation. There was a change yesterday In the attitude of representatives of the railroad em ployes who are at the Broadway Cen tral regarding the outlook on the Erie. Hitherto they were willing to talk freely, but yesterday comment was avoided. J. J. Hanrahan, grand chief of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen, would not say a single word on the situation. This change of attitude gave rise to reports that there was hope for peace on the Erie and that there would be developments on this line soon. Grand Chief Stone of the Brother hood of Locomotive Engineers gave U as his opinion that there would not be a strike of either engineers or fire men. He had practically finished his mission here and would soon leave for home, he said. ANNEXING TERRITORY. Lot Angeles Population Increasing by Annexation Process.
