ALMOST EQUALS
STEAMBOAT TIME
Hrings Part Cargo of Cement and
General Articles of Import From
Hamburg Bark Brabloch. Still
Outside With Pilot on Board.
The British ahlp Xeotsfield reached
the Columbia rlveer yesterday noon
"with a cargo of cemani and gen
eral articles pf impdrt from Hamburg
by way of San Diego. Part- of the car!
go was discharged at the California
port. The vessel la on the disengaged
list-for outward cargo, ",
The Neotstleld left San Diego No
vember It and hence made a rattling
swift run up the coast, having covered
the distance In less than eight days.
This la almost equal to steamboat time
and ia believed to be the fastest run
ever accomplished by a square-rigger
between the two, ltorts. She had the
advantage of a atiff breeze from the
southeast all the way, which accounts
for the exceptionally smart . run. Her
performance, in fact, came as. a sur
prise to every one in .shipping circles
here and the record will undoubtedly
stand for some time to come.
Nothing has been heard of the Brit
ish bark Brabloch which was sighted
off the mouth of the river several
days ago, when she came in close and
took-a pilot on board. The Brabloch,
too, has a cargo of cement. It being
consigned to W. P. Puller & Co. , She
has been outside the river for nearly
a month. Captain Law of the British
bark Lydgate, having sighted her sev
eral days before his craft made port:
In view of th fact that heavy storms
have swept the ocean It is considered
likely that the pilot took the vessel far
nut to sea to get away from the grasp
of currents that might have dragged
her ashore.

Two Sailors Have Thrilling Experi-

(United Pre Leased Win.
San Francisco, Nov. 25. Eric Fore
berr and Ed Callaway, members of the
crew of the pilot boat Lady Mine, had
a. -thrilling; experience In the surf yes
terday, when their boat capsized as
they , .were rowing through the rough
water of the bar to take Pilot J. E. Mc
Culloch off . the French bark Turgot,
Weighted with their heavy rubber
boots and sou'wester, the minors were
unable: to awim to. either vessel: (and
could .only cling to their overturned
boat 'Tin tU Mate .Christensen of the pilot
boat bravely want to their rescue in a
small yawl. . ,
The accident came Just after the two
sailors had rowed about a mile from
the pilot boat to the French bark. Just
as they were nearlng the latter vessel
a huge billow. awept over them, and
overturned their tiny craft. 'Before they
could seise the life preservers, which
were, tossed to them Tfroro the bark, the
undertow carried them far away. Had
it nJ been for the pluck of. Mate Chrls
tenaen, the Uvea of both men -would
have been lost. . ' -.;
After taking his - comrades back, to
the pilot, boat Christensen fought hia
way alone through a rough sea ta the
bark and suoceeded In 'taking McCul

Aberdeen. Nov., 25.- Assistant United
States Engineer J. M. Clapp, who -has
been on the harber for aeveral daya
checking up the work- done at the north
side jetty during the past season, is
much gratified with the progress made
and with the beneficial result It has
accomplished.
Major Clapp waa at the jetty during
the severe storm of Thursday and at
Its height a lumber laden schooner
panned out over the bar without expe
riencing difficulty. He said that near
the Jetty the water waa an calm as on a
summer a day.
VVVork on the Jetty will stop at the
clojpe of November, when all accounts
win be closed for the aeason. Major
Clapp says that while he has no defi
. nlte - information, lie thinks that the
$100,000 appropriated for work on Grays
Harbor will be used for the jetty and
that the rest of the appropriation will
be used for work on the channel be
tween this place and the bar. This will
Include more dredging at Cow Point
and the removal of snags and other ob
structions. Fifty thousand dollar more
will be needed for' the Chehalls river

Yesterday afternoon Judge "Webster
heard soma additional testimony from
the proponents of the will and' listened
to the arguments of counsel, Gus C Mo
ser. representing Otto- W. Nelson, the
executor of the will, and Waldemar' Bo
ton, appearing for Carl Oscar Patterson,
the 17-year-old youth of Tacoma, who
claims to ba the son of the deceased. '
. Witnesses in behalf of the boy de
clared that - Petteraon . married a Miss
Christina Goore in Tacoma and that the
boy la their son. They identified a por
trait of Petterson as the' likenasa Of
the man who married Miss Goore and
soon after deserted her, the mother of
the boy also being positive that the
man who died here waa once her hus
band. They also identified the picture
of a building In Tacoma in front of
which three men are standing. One
of the- men wears a white apron and
they identified this aa a picture of the
man who married Misa Goore, ha being
then employed aa a bartender.
The features of the man in this plo
turer cannot be very well distinguished
and this is the picture that is to ba
enlarged for the benefit of the court.
The boy'a mother aays that . if en

The DroDonents of the will assert that

the amendments which . the association
Is to submit to It.
! At the meeting of the association
fast night four amendments were dis
cussed and were referred to the legis
lative committee to submit to the legis
lature. On account of the early meet
ing of the legislature, the association
took its adjournment only until De
cember 15, at which time It is probable
that other measures will be added to
the list with which the legislative com
mittee Will go before the lawmakers.
One of the most Important of the
proposed new bills is an amendment
to section 1S2 of the code, and. pro
vides that the Instructions of the court
shall be reduced to writing and shall
ba submitted to the attorneys In the
case - before the case ts argued. This
amendment was voted for unanimous
ly by everyone present. Its wording Is
the same as the Minnesota law, and
the new measure is also in line with
the practice In Washington and Cali
fornia. The reason for the amendment . is
that at present an attorney argues bis
instructions, ara to- be. and often his
case without knowing what the judge'a
argument is not at .all in line with
the instructions, the . toaaa taking a
different! view of the law from the at
torney. . . , - . - ' . j - '
. , -. Change Jury Challenges. :
" Another imnortant' "amendment pro
vides that in the drawing ef a jury all
the jurymen in the box shall first be
challenged or passed for cause before
the attorneys uee their peremptory
challenges. At present. If an attorney
wianea to get rid .of a venireman ana is
unable to do ao by challenge for cause,
he must either at once use his peremp
tory challenge or accept the juryman,
not knowing . but that ha may later
have more need of the peremptory
challenge. . TJnderthe proposed amend
ment he would have the entire 11 men
in the Jury box before hia ayea before
being required to use hia peremptory
challenge, and would thua be able 'to
act intelligently and use the peremp
tory challenge where he most needed
it This ia the practice In many other
atates. ; -:.
A third proposed amendment provides
that an affidavit may be certified be
fore a notary public having a seat
Under the law aa it now ia, much dif
ficulty ia at tlmea experienced in get-
ting affidavits, especially in districts
remote from the cities and in foreign
countries, on account of there being no
one in the vicinity qualified to attest
an affidavit. ' ' -
Another proposed amendment deals
with the carrying out by administrat
ors of contracts made by deceased per
sons. Undey the law as amended In
105, If a person who died had given a
bond or a deed, the administrator can
be compelled to go on with the con
tract This is regarded as not broad
enough, and It Is proposed to amend the
law further by adding after the words
'bond or deed ' the words "or other en
forclble contract."
These measures were all discussed
by the members of the bar association
and much' Interest Is taken in having
them enacted intoOaws.
Three new members were elected last
night A. E. Wheeloclc.W. T. Gardner
and Edward D. William

A committee was appointed by Presi
dent George Shepherd to explain to the
