BRINGS MORE SURVIVORS
Tho Steamer Roanoke Wa the First
Vessel to Bring the Newt toSan
Francisco of tho Awful Calamity
Nothing New Learne?.
The steamer Roanoke arrived here last
night at 0:43 and left up at 11 o'clock.
The steamer Roanoke being the first
venscl to report the awful disaster, is
naturally a thing of interest. The As
torian reporter met the ateamer when
she disked and going aboard found that
there were some survivor on the pas
senger list.
Mr, and Mrs. C. II. Martindale of
Outhrle, Okla., were found In the saloon
with Mi-s Anna Akkeeson of Litchfield,
Minn. Dr. and Mrs. J. E. Paul of Co
lumbus, Neb., were also on board as
well as Mr. and Mr. E. Rockwell of
Oktahomrt.
Mr. Martindale was severely injured
in the wreck, having his ankle wrenched
and his knee mashed. He has been in
the hospital at Eureka until yesterday
when he took the Roanoke for Portland
from whence he returns to his home at
Guthrie.
Mr. aMnrtindale had a strenuous time,
certainly, as 'reported by him in his
modest' way.
"I aW satisfied ' Hint there was an
explosion," said he. "My injured condi
tion xliows that. "Like several others
who were injured I do not know how
I received my Injuries but as I went
down with the vessel and am -in this
condition I cannot account for it in
any other way. I was in the water
from the time of the sinking of the
vessel until. 4 o'clock. My wife and hild
went down with mo and I found Mrs.
Martindale' on the San Pedro but we

comfort of the women folk even to
sacrificing themselves." Here Mrs. Mar
tindale interrupted to say that one of
the seamen of the San Pedro took his
shirt off to give to her. Mr. Martindale
continued: "Mrs. E. E. Butner and two
children that were in our party were
lost. They came from Portsmouth, Ohio."
Miss Akeesson Btatod that she was
treated with all the courtesy and care
that it was possible to bestow on her
and while of coure, her exeprience was
not pleasant, it certainly might have
been worse. She is very grateful to the

Northern at Toledo station, seven miles
east of Havre Sunday morning, causing
the death of a fireman and slightly in
juring a number of passengers. The train
was going at 30 miles an hour. When
within 60 yard of the switch the engi

instantly applied the air brakes, but a
moment later the engine, mail; baggage
and smoker cart were a mass of twisted
and broken wreckage and wlien the paa

HELENA,. July 30. It was reported
late hist 'night that No. 10 on the
Northern Pacific was wrecked near Ellis

be confirmed, the only information given
out here coming from an irresponsible
and unwilling source at the company's
olllces at the depot which was to the
effect, "Engine off track." Later re
ports were that it waa simply a freight
wreck. It waa reported however that

SAN FRANCISCO, July 29.-The re-
sponaibility of ateawalup companies by
which iron-clad schedules compel their
masters of steamships to go at a speed
which their conscience tell them is un
safe was a feature of the Columbia
wreck testimony taken before Captain
Birmingham today. Second Officer Age
rup' testimony established more clearly
than has ever been done before the fact
that captains are compelled to run their
ships at full speed along dangerous coast
in foggy weather in course navigated
by many vessels. Birmingham aaked if
it was a usual practice to go full speed
ahead Agerup replied the captain al
ways slowed down when he heard a
steamer ahead.
When questioned whether it wa neces
sary to go at full speed in order to make
the schedule, it elicited a statement that
there was certain time allowed for trips
on coast steamships and it was necessary
to arrive at a certain hour to get in on
time and avoid delay.
"Doea a ship never low down unless
there was a steamer ahead?" Agerup was
asked.
"I can't recollect we ever did. It

Attorney Knight for the company took
the witness and elicited from him that
Captain Doran had never ordered him
to push the vessel ' ahead at any coat
and that he had never heard Captain
Doran say he must make a certain time
Knight made no effort to shake danger
ous testimony and said that dangerous
runs were made to keep the veel on
it schedule and that the moral suasion
of the company wag reason for doing it.
The first witness of the day, Mia
Alice Osterburg, who was a passenger of
the Columbia, testified that the conduct
of Officer Hawes was gentlemanly
throughout the disaster. Her testimony
indicates the charge against Hawea is a
case of mistaken identity. She denied
the story that Hawes procured whisky
for himself and testified ttyat whisky
was given a woman passenger on the
boat. She also denied that Hawes was
forced to give up his coat to a woman
passenger and ahe declared that he did
so voluntarily. She likewise denied that
he struck a passenger.

MUNICIPAL COURTS.
Never Looked Upon aa Field For Money
Making by Individual Who Has
No Capital
WASHINGTON, D. C, July 29.
The municipal courts of New York
have never been looked upon as a field
for money making by the individual
who has no capital. But an experience
this week indicates that in them are
to 'be won untold milions by some Tom
Lawson versed in legal and judicial pro
cedure. The plea of "guilty" as a
profitable investment indeed has just
become an alluring possibility, which
by. some strange happening has been
long overlooked by legal sharps. Like
all great discoveries, this one had a -small
beginning. The plaintiff, stol
id German, accused the defendant of
"pulling the skin of his arm" throwing
it at him and breaking his glasses val
ued at ten 'dollare. The court after re
covering from it surprise discovered
that the arm was sunburned and that
aforesaid skin did not break the glasses
but caused the plaintiff to jump and
diop them. The plaintiff stated his
willingness to compromise for the value
of the glasses for which the defendant
was about to settle, when the court an
nounced that if he were proven guilty
the fine would be three dollars. A great
light shone suddenly on the defendant.
After much figuring he pleaded guilty,
thereby saving seven dollars. On the
principle that a penny saved i two 1
pennies earned. This equalled a gain of
fourteen dollars. Lawyer and judge
alike were dumbfounded at this new
possibility of making money, and are
now eagerly awaiting the formation of
a "guilty" trust.
