PILOTS AND CAPTAINS ALSO TAKE STAND Witness Warned Pilot of Harrlman Liner Against Imminent Danger and Told JUm to Let Go Anchor Sirit Depends on Oufcomo of Trial ' Messrs. Edwards and Fuller, Inspect ors of hulls and boilers, are today list ening to evidence tendinff to throw light on the collision between the steamers City of Panama and Alliance at the mouth of the Willamette, August 8. The testimony Is being taken down In writing And It will probably be several days before a decision Is 'rendered. Tho decision will likely figure prominently In the suit now before the courts, by which the owners of the Alliance en deayck to hold the owners of the City ofjMTnama for the cost of the repairs the damaged craft. The Alliance Is represented by Attor ney Zera Snow, and Attorney J. Couch Flanders is looking after the interests of the underwriters for the City of Panama, who will have to pay should the courts decide that she was at fault J. H. Dewson, local manager of the Ban .Francisco A Portland Steamship com pany; F. P. Baumgartner, local man ager .of. the California as poast Steam- ship company; Pilots Snow and Turner, and Captains Nelson and Olson of the City of Panama and Alliance, respec tively; Officers Agerup and McNlehols of the two steamers, and Captain H. T Groves, superintendent of the Port of Portland dredges, were the prominent figures at the hearing, and all of them will have more or lean to say as to how the collision occurred. Every One Dodges Blame. The point of the Investigation up till noon today was that everybody wanted to keep free from blame without casting aspersions upon any one else who had anything to do with the collision, ku perlntendent Groves was the first wit ness called and he remained on the stand till the noon recess. "I warned Pilot Snow, as he brought the Cltv of Panama up the river be tween the dredge Portland and the shore of Nigger Tom Island, to let go the anchor, said Superintendent Groves at one stage of the hearing, "because I could see that she would either run aground or hit the Alliance." Drawings showed that the dredgo Portland had been anchored In the Wil lamette near Its confluence with the Columbia on the evening or August 7 and that she was to the west of the main channel, leaving about 450 feet clear between her and the eastern bank when the steamers passed or tried to pans. Superintendent oroves said there was 18 feet of water on the port bow of the dredge, heading down stream, and that her starboard spuds were anchored In S6 feet. According to Captain Nelson, the City of Panama drew 16 feet when coming up the river that morning. Cautioned the Pilot. In explaining why he cautloend the pilot or the Panama as ne came up tne river. Superintendent Groves said he saw that the steamer was beyond the customary pilot's range in making the bend, and knew that she would go ashore or hit the Alliance because of the nature of the current. He heard the pilot on the Panama give orders to port the helm, and then to throw It hard over to port." In his opinion the Panama did not alter her course In re sponse to the helm If the orders were carried out. Knr that reason he yelled to the pilot to let go the anchor which was hanging over the starboard bow. But the anchor was not let go, and so the San Francisco liner cut deep Into 'the atern of the Coos Bay liner which had grounded the evening before with Pilot Turner on the bridge. The witness was carefully cross-ex amined by both attorneys and he went Into details concerning the currents of the river and their effect upon ship ping, It being the intention of the rep resentatives of the City of Fanama to show that the current carried the steamer against the Alliance and that nothing on earth could have prevented the collision except perhaps had the dredge Portland not been at the mouth of the Willamette at that particular time. Elder Passes In Safety. Mr. Groves said that the steamer George W. Elder passed between the dredge and the stranded Alliance later in the morning, after the City of Pan ama had rammed her, In perfect safety, this part of the evidence being Intro duced to show that the dredge was not anchored so as to block the channel. Pilots Snow and Turner are expected to testify that a strong cross current in the Willamette a few hundred feet above the confluence of the two rivers was responsible for the grounding of the Alliance and the subsequent col lision. Superintendent Groves said he enter tained the opinion that the City of Pan ama's helm should have been ported earlier than It was in rounding- the bend at the mouth of the Willamette, but that onrt of the testimony was stricken out since the superintendent of the dredge said while he had steered vessels as large as the Alliance through the current at the mouth of the Willam ette he had not navigated as large a vessel ns tne city or fanama ax that point. - SAILORS HAVE FUN. of the schooner Sophie Christensen Captain Sorensen, schooner Watson A West; Captain Jacobson, schooner Charles E.

Herlng, first reader of the Christian Science church at Concord. In an elaborate presentation of this case in a bill of equity filed at Concord the plaintiffs lav particular stress upon one point, namely: That this action was in no sense an attack upon Christian Science nor upon Mary aicer o. tsaay. Suit Brought by Kelatlres. On the contrary, Mrs. Eddv herself appeared as tne real petitioner, and the sun orougni Dy ner relatives as next friends." under the well established rules of equity. The foundations of this action were laid many months ago in the public dlscloneures of gross deception at Pleas ant View, where a human dummy was employed in tne impersonation or Mrs. Eddy. These disclosures were met with a storm of denial from Frve. Farlow. Tomllnson and their agents. Influences of neormous power were exerted In all directions to discredit the facts. Representations were spread broad cast to create the Impression that tho disclosures really vellex) an attack upon Mrs. Eddv and Christian Science. Men of solid reputation and promi nence were induced to appear In public print in defense of Frye and his asso ciates. The mayor of Concord was one of these. Lord Dunmore. a nrominent member of the British peerage, was another. International interest "was aroused and In the wide conflict of foptniort the real facta were clouded In doubt and un certainty. ' At this puncture public-spirited cn- sens decided that legal proceedings of the most dignlfed character were vitally necessary to establish the truth. In no other way could proper protec tion be afforded the feeble Mr Eddy. In no other way. It was urged, could the power surrounding her be destroyed. Olorer Pound Impoverished. The selection of a man to direct legal proceedings of such great Importance to those Immediately interested and to society at' large was a work of great difficulty. Arrayed against him would be one or the most powerrui organiza tions known to modern history, backed by limitless wealth and influences of prodigious power permeating all depart ments of life. The choice fell upon William E. Chundlftr. New Hampshire's distin guished statesman, for nearly a half century. The subsequent work of collecting the evidence was rewarded witn amaz ing results. George W. Glover was found In his home at Lead City, South Dakota, im poverished and utterly hopeless. For years, he said, he had been work ing to acquire sufficient means to at tack the clique In control at Concord. He declared he had feared for her very life and for his own safety.
