Superintendent Groves Tes
tifies at City of Fanama
Investigation.
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. -

SUIT DISCONTINUED
(Continued from Page One.)
Louis C. Strang, assistant secretary at
Pleasant View, and Hermann S. 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.
