Two Hundred and Forty Men of John

SEATTLE Sept. 21.-enator Piles
today airgraphed to the Preiident ask
ing him to send the revenue cutter to
Bristol Bay to rcscus scvjal hundred
persons, survivors of the wrecked fishing
boot, John Currier, which went ashore
at Kelson's lagoon on August 0th. The
Indian have reported supplies lor thirty
days. That time passed It Is believed
there Is danger of starving or freezing.
Ed Roscnburg, secretary of the Flb-
ermen's nion of the Pacific Coast, sent
a telegram to President Roosevelt from
Astoria yesterday, asking that relief be
sent to the 240 men of the wrecked John
Currier who are imprisoned on a bleak
shore at Kelson' Lagoon, Alaska.
Copies of the telegram were sent Sena
tor Pile of Seattle and to Senators
in California, with the result that the
former has already taken the matter in
hand.
The government was notified of the
predicament of the men tome week ago.
and it was expected that something was
being done to relieve them. This proved
not to be the case, however, and the
ollk-inU of the union are going to stir
thing up until relief i sent to the
marooned men.
The wreck occurred on the night of
August 9 and shortly after, a couple of
the more daring members of the crew
started out with native guides and
managed 10 reach civilization. The large
body of men are unable to do this,
however, and it was stated by those
who escaped that the provisions would
last until September I.
It is probable that the men are even
now enduring the pangs of hunger, as
the provisions for so many would not
lut more than a few days and it is now
over a month since they were wrecked.
Feeling that there is no time to lose if
the men are to be rescued, the Fisher
men's Union is doing all it can to hurry
matters, and reply that active meas
ure for their relief will be made, Is
expected at any moment.
Up to a late hour last night no an
swer had been received from Washing
ton regarding the message, although the
tinwer may nave neen sent to acnaior
rile of Seattle.

EIGHT-HOUR DAY FOR ARMY.
General Order Of Importance Issued by
War Department.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 21.-A general
order issued by the War Department
today i f calculated to put an end to
the long-drawn-out controversy between
organized labor and the Army Engi
neer over the question of enforcing an
elgbt-hour-day on all government work.
The Utbor unions win decisively for the
new order I in the shspe of an amend
tnent to th army regulations making
an eight-hour day general. The mew
regulation provides that a stipulation
covering its contents shall be incorpr
rated in a new contract to be let here
aftr. This will make it apply to all
river and harbor work and public build
ing erected under the supervision of
Army engineer.
No mention of the Panama canal is
made in the amended regulation. La
bor leader contend that the eight-hour
law should apply there as well at in
this country. But the War Department
ha held that there has never been a
determination that the canal Is a "pub
lic work" within the moaning of the
statute. .
NO MEAT FOR ATHLETES.
CHICAGO. Sept. 21. "Football a la
vegetable" has arrived. Instead of the
traditional roast beef the fiercest grid
iron warriors of the future will prefer
the bean-apple-nut cutlets. In the opin
ion of University of Chicago athletes,
"Squirrel food" snd the luscious pro
ducts of the garden wilt hold sway et
the Midway this season.
Coach Stagg 1 an ardent believer in
the coming of the meatless era, and
Captain L. De Tray and his maroons
have already foresworn their old ideas
of diet in pursuance of the director's
rdcofmmendations. The "reform" pro-
motors, in addition to viewing the total
downfall of the training table with its
"glaiifcttorfal" surroundings, may have
the pleasure of witnes-ing a champion
ship vegetarian eleven as a climax to
the anti-cruelty movement. The Maroon
director is himself a vegetarian of stand
ing. For two years he has eaten prac
tically no meat, and he ascribes his
present healthy condition to hi change
of diet. According to the coach, a won
derful athletio future may be attained
bv fleh abstainers.

door, whom they recognised as Sanford.
In minute a second man came' running
out of the building, dressed like a moun
taineer and carrying a riue. He ran to
Sanford and said: "I got the G D .".

fence where Sanford gave a pair of shoes
which he wag 'carrying, to Igo, who ex
changed his boot for them. The men
then disappeared. The affiant states that

at Jeffersonville, Ind., and that he re
minded her that he had fulfilled his
promise. j

der that he intended to kill Goebel, say
ing:
"Here is my chance to get revenge."

that my cousin was ever connected, even
remotely, with Goebel's death."

the story of Goebel's murder to an In-
dianopili newspaperman who took the
woman to Governor Taylor, who took
her deposition. The story was not pub
lished, Governor Taylor, fearing the
publication would make verification im
possible and he hoped to locate the man
wo was with Mrs. Clark. ,

that John Sanford was at Frankfort on
the day of the shooting, but efforts to
establish this failed.

visit to bis old home in Ohio. He also
attended the reunion of native Ohioans
held in the city of Columbus, that state.

be is glad to be back in Oregon one
more, for having lived for to many years
in the lively, business-like west, he felt
out of place in the sleepy old dties of
the eastern states.
"The climate of, Ohio," ald Mr.
Cherrington yesterday, "is just as good
a that of Oregon, but the cities seem
so old, so quiet and dilapidated in com
parison to those I have become accus
tomed to those I have become aocus
where the people have some ambition
and activity. The people of Chicago,
St. Paul and Denver are the only one
I saw that moved about and seemed to
have some purpose in life, like they
do out. here on the soast. In other
places, everyone looked like he had dona
hi work and retired from business, or
had not yet begun." , . t
