It was expected here that John

In view of the fact that Hucra ap

former dictator of the republic, the

CREW CHARGED WITH
ACTING COWARDLY
SURVIVORS OK VOLTl RNO SAY
DITCH SAILORS BRUTAL
TO PASSENGERS.
INDOX. Oct. 15. "The crew of
the Volturno, most of whom were
Dutch, behaved In a cowardly man
tier and were ' brutal to the passen
gers," Is the verdict of most of the
HO survivors of the Volturno who ar
rived at Gruvesend on board the Min
neapolis. All the survivors are men Russi
ans, Hungarians and Poles. They are
to proceed to their destination on
board the Olympic.
Stuart J. Fuller, United States con
sul at Durban, who was a passenger
on board the Minneapolis, was able
4o talk in their own languages with
some of those rescued from the Vol
turno by the crew of the Minneapolis.
Mr. Fuller said he had gathered
from the survivors that there was no
panic on the burning ship and that
on the whole good order had been
maintained though the passengers had
been herded aft like, a flock of sheep.
They complained that the ships offi
cers had treated them roughly and
had refused to give them any infor
mation. NO AMENDMENT TO BE
MADE TO ARTICLES
IMPEACHMENT tXU'RT OVER
RULES MOTION' MADE BY
PROSECUTION.
ALJ1ANV, Oct. 15. The Sulzer ln
poachment court denied the request
of the prosecution for permission to
amend the Impeachment articles but
the ruling Is no particular victory for
the governor.
It Is the view of the defense that
the failure In the articles to mention
Duncan Peck and Henry Morgnnthau
.as witnesses, whose testimony the ex
exutlve tried to suppress, coupled
with tho fact that they were the only
witnesses there whoso evidence he
tried to tamper with, constituted a fa
tal defect In the prosecution's case.
Prosecution lawyers feared tho same
thing. The court held the articles
"were broad enough to include Peck
and Morganthau and an amendment
was unnecessary.

CAPTAIN OF VOLTURNO TELLS STORY
NEW YORK, Oct 15. Captain
Francis Inch, whose steamer, the
Volturno, was burned at sea with the
less of 136 lives, told his story of the
disaster last night. It is a plain sea
man's tale but in It, line by line, the
horrors of the disaster and the ter
rible ordeal through which passen
gers and crew passed are brought out
all the more clearly, perhaps by the
marked directness and simplicity
with which the story is told.
Cnptuln Inch's narrative reads:

ing and revolting details of the treat
ment of two Slavic women captured

prisoned In the camp at Ludlow.
Monday," had been reported to him
by his secret agents in Trinidad and
Ludlow, and had caused him to de
termine to annihilate the strikers'
tent colony at Ludlow upon another
offense.
Governor Ammons spoke heatedly
of the actions of strikers In connection
with the two women, saying:
"After holding up and beating the
two foreign Women with guns, the
strikers' wives dragged them to the
Ludlow tent colony. There they were !
threatened with death unless they re
mained there and succeeded in get
ting their husbands, who were em
ployed at the mine at Delagua. to
join them All this In spite of the
fact that one of the women was bur

The train made no stop between Bur

robber made his escape, according to
postal officials, when the train slowed
down in the San Francisco yards.
An examination of the rifled pouch
ei by local postal inspectors showed
that the loss will not be great. The
robber's time to make a thorough
search of all the registered mail was
limited because of the fast schedule
maintained by the train between Bur
llngame and San Francisco.
When the train stopped at Burl
ingame to take on passengers and
dispatch mail, the robber, with hi
face concealed by a blue bandana
handkerchief, climed aboard the mail

SEATTLE, Oct. 15 (Special )
The United States navy is going to
mine Its own coal in Alaska.
Coal In sufficient quantity and of
excellent quality has been found In
the Matanuska fields by the investi
gating expedition which is now at
work there, and this find will war
rant the -opening of the mine by the
government. This is the present stat
us of the situation, according to un
official Information secured.
Some members of the expedition,
which was sent out by tho navy de
partment to investigate the coal
fields, arrived in Seattle yesterday to
secure supplies and outfits for mov-
lnK ca' aireaay tanen out so mat
tests may be made of It. Such favor
able reports have been made to the
navy officials that a new survey has
been made of a route which will
shorten the haul to navigable waters
by 50 miles.
A bill to give the navy the right to
open and own mines in Alaska Is now
before congress.
The probable location of the coal
ing station will be at Passage Canal
or Portage Bay, located on Prince
Williams' sound. Passage Canal here
tofore has been looked upon as a land
locked bay. too deep for anhorage.
Maps have been completed by captain
G. E. Bude of the coast and geodetic
survey which have been ruea witn tne
district headquarters here. The
maps show plenty of anchorage and a
shore line a mile long from whlcn
docks may be built, making a location
for a naval station possible.
The bav Is 11 miles long. The coal
which has been" discovered Is said to
be of the be.st bituminous type which
is known to commerce as steaming or
blacksmith coal.

RESIDENTS ARE THROWN'
INTO PANIC.
BAKER, Ore., Oct 15. A severe
earthquake shock was felt at 3 o'clock
yesterday afternoon in the Seven Dev
ils' country, along the Snake river,
that divides Oregon and Idaho.
The towns affected were Homestead
Ore., and Ballard's Landing, Landore
and Cuprum, Idaho. Telephone lines

reports are meager.
It is reported that at Homestead
houses were rocked, upsetting chairs
and breaking dishes. At Landore the
shock w-as more severe. Windows
were broken, stoves rocked and dish
es were shaken from the shelves
Some houses there are believed put
cut of plumb.
At Cuprum the Inhabitants ran

houses swayed. The earth quivered
and a roar like thunder came from
the earth-
Ballard's Landing felt the shock
distinctly, but it is believed llttl?
damage was done. No fatalities are
reported.
The shock was distinct In all places
and lasted fully one minute. The
people of all towns are badly fright

homestead, with about 300 popula
tion. They are 100 miles southeast of

Today is circus day in Pendleton but
the city doesn't present the holiday
appearance It usually does on such
an occasion The rain and cool
weather combined to keep the coun
tryfolk at home and the crowd In
town today is but little larger than
on the ordinary day.
The Al. G. Barnes animal circus
train did not arrive In the city until
after 9 o'clock and the work of un
loading and setting up on the grounds
took up so much time that It was
12:30 before the parade started. Tho
parade was a very good one and
showed that the Barnes people have
gathered together a choice assort
ment of wild beasts and tame. All
of the animals are in good condition
and put up a good appearance.
The tents are stretched on the va
cant lot Just south or tne Kound-up
Park and the afternoon performance
Is under way this afternoon. An ev
ening performance will be given and
a larger audience will piobably atteni
