Captain Klinkenberff Tells
His Side of Atrocity Story
Killed Jackson, but in a
Fair Fight, to Save His
Own Life.
(Special DUpttcn to Tfce Journal.)
float tie, July Captain Christian
Kllnkenberg of the whaler Olga, who
was brought down from Nome n- urv
uty Marshnl T. C. Howell, admits that
he killed his chief engineer. Paul D.
Jackson. In October. 1908. He denies,
however, that he murdered Jackson in
cold blood, and says lie killed him in a
fair fight. Kllnkenberg is to be taken
t i San Francisco to answer to the
chnrge of murder.
The trouble occurred while th Olga
was in the Ice off Prince Albert's land.
In Bering sea. The engines of the boat
were run by a distillate made from
gaHoune.
The first trouble with Jackson," said
Captain Kllnkenberg. "was when in oep-
tember he told me ne ""

was no liquor aboard the Olga, and I
wanted none, and refuned him permis
sion to operate his still. A few days
later I told him we were going to cruise
around In seurch of wood. He asked
how much distillate we were to take,
and 1 told him enough for three days.
He was very angry and put the mussl
of a rlffe to mv stomach and asked liow
much trouble I wanted. His assistant
took the rifle from hlui. Later he told
me If I ever spoke to him again he
would kill me like a dog.
Our fuel wn almost exhausted and
a few days later 1 proposed that we
cruise up and down the' bench in searcn
of wood. The men demanded that ev
ery man do his share of the work and
I agreed. When we found the first
wood all hands went out over the lco
except Jackson and nis iii'.
told Jackson what we had agreed. He
replied that he did not care a llrk what
others did, he would not work He
lay on his couch with a rifle by his
side. When I told him to go with the
crew he seised the rifle. I was stand
ing Just outside my cabin door and
reached for my weapon. We both fired
two shots at the same time. Juckson
fell back on bis courh and I went out
on deck and told the crewl to disarm
him. We did all we could to save the
man's life. He died ten days later and
was buried at sea."
The first information fhat reached

by George Johnson, the negro cook of

TERRIBLE FIGHT

3Iiss Griese's Nerve-Racking
ExperienceSaved by
Heroine Watson.
Sucked down into ihe ocean depths by
the sinking steamer, only to come to
the surface to be clutched by six cold,
cifclaverous, almost talon-llke hands of
three delirious unfortunates In the
throes of death, was the terrible, nerve
racking experience of Miss Emma
Grlese, a school teacher of 1761 Eat
Eighteenth street, N. E. Cleveland,
How she frantically freed herself
from the embraces of the drowning per
sons Miss Grlese does not know, as
when her lungs filled almost to the
bursting point with life-giving oxygen,
she lapsed Into unconsciousness and re
members nothing until coming to on
board the steamer Elder.

honor of heroines of land or sea is the
name of Maybello Wutson, who, with a
wonderful display of heroism and self
sacrifice,' clasped the limp and uncon
scious form of Miss Grlese In her arms
and by almost herculean efforts kept
her sister - survivor's head above the
waves for two hours until rescued by a
boat, in command of -Third Officer
Hawse of the Columbia. How the
plucky ' girl refused succor until Miss
Grise had, been dragged Into the boat
has been fully exploited but the final
chapter, of the remarkable tale did not
occur until yesterday.
Among the thousands who crowded
Martin's dock laM evening to meet the
steamer Elder carrying the bruised, bat
tered and exhausted survivrfrs of the
Columbia ' disaster, was ih ' "
eager to greet the woman whose life
she had saved.
As Miss Grlese came down the gang

WALLACE IS OPPOSED TO
ANTI-TRUST ORDINANCE
Councilman Asked That Measure Be Sent to Committee
on Accounts and Current Expenses, but After ; De
bate It Was Submitted to Judiciary Committee.
Councilman Wallace, at th city hall
yesterday, showed his opposition to th
enactment of the Beldlng anti-trust or
dinance by. his refusal to allow its pas
sage by the majority of th oouncll
serving notlc thst he would lnvok th
rule that no ordinance oould be passed
on th day of itu introduction except by
unanimous consent. He asked that th
measure be sent to th boneyard by
moving Its reference to th Inappro
priate committee on accounts and cur
rent expenses but after some debate
was overruled by the submission of tho
ordinance to the committee on Judiciary,
where It belonged. . '
Opposition Develops.
Great opposition has developed to th
ordinance since Its introduction brought
Its' provisions before the eyes of the
combinations of Portland. Th mem
bers of the council, the mayor, the city
attorney and every one whose official
position or political connection lends
them power have been Importuned to
prevent its passage on various grounds.
One Interest solicitous for th welfare
of the people has- advanced the argu
ment that any measure making It an of
fense to combine for the reduction of
prices In any commodity Is In Itself
vicious because it will take away the
power of" combinations to sell cheaply.
This opponent, when asked If the pro
vision was not meant to check large
combinations from combining to freese
out the small dealer, pressed the con
troversy no further.
Other opponents are crying that the
ordinance Is drawn for the benefit of
the large department stores, but the city
attorney who drafted the measure and
attorneys who have examined It have
assured the councllmen that no auch
construction can be placed upon any
phras of the law. The widespread agi
tation of th different combinations
over the prospect of th ordinance being
enacted Is shown by the report of

Survivors of the catastrophe tell of

carefully drawn by the city attorney,

He said it was a fact notorious to all
that combinations of business Interests
were in control of everything the peo

In favor of the measure but It Is also
certain that a strenuous effort will be

It is asserted also that Mr. Manning

Secretary Garfield and Fran-
cis J; Heney to Attempt at
San Francisco to Straight
en Out Oregon's Tangled
Land Situation.
Oregon's tangled land fraud trial sit
uation will be straightened out before
th week Is over by a conference be
tween Francis J. Heney' and Secretary
of the Interlor-Garfleld at San Fran
cisco. Th secretary la now in th Bay
City and will hold an extended con
ference with Mr. Heney, ! at which It
will be definitely determined whether or
not the trials will be resumed at once
In Oregon, whether Thomas. B. Neuhau
sen and his assistant from the land
offlc department will - return to tho
federal building to assist the district
attorney In th preparation of the 'land
cases and a number of other details
which are now very much In the fog.
The conference Is the result of ,the
recent visit of the secretary to Portland,
at which time he wnt Into the land
trial situation with Olstrlct Attorney
Bristol and became convinced of the
extreme congestion of cases in Portland
and the need of some Immediate action
being taken.
During the past week a conference
was held between Mr. Bristol and Judge
Wolverton In regard to the future trials
now pending in the federal court At
that time It was decided by the court
that no Jury would be called before the
first Monday in October for- the trial
of any criminal cases put upon the
docket by the action of the last grand
Jury. This delay was agreed upon be
cause of the busy harvest season prevailing-
thlgheu the . state Just at
this time end feeling on the part
of the court that It would be an injus
tice to the Jurymen to be required to
come to the city and wait long day
while cases were being tried.
A different decision was reached in
regard to calling a grand Jury or Jury
for the trial of the pending land fraud
cases, however, It being determined that
either of these Juries would be called by
the court as soon as the department or
justice decided it wae ready for the
trials to proceed.
The way Is open therefore for an Im
mediate resumption of the land esses
In the event that the conference between
Mr. Heney and Secretary Garfield re
sults in such a determination.
The hands of the district attorney
seem to have been tied In so far as
any land fraud prosecution I concerned.
It has been the general supposition
that T. B. Neuhausen, special Inspector
of the Interior department and his men
who assisted Mr. Heney In his land
fraud Investigations and trials, has been
working In conjunotlon with the dis
trict attorney's office for the past year
In preparing land cases for trial. This
however, !s not the case, as It has been
i .- a .ini. th. two nffteea have
worked in harness. None of the cases
which have Deen roiiowea up uy wm
Inspector's office and prepared for sub
mission to the grand Jury have been
turned over to the district attorney's
office for his action.
Mr. Neuhausen has been transferred
to the customs house and is now work
ing entirely separate from the district
attorney's office. The question of
whether or not he and his men will be
sent back to collaborate with the dls
trlot attorney during the pending cases
is- another matter which will be deter
mined at the conference to be held
within the next two days In San Fran
cisco. LOCAL CAPITALISTS
