STEAMERS ARE SUNK
Big Liner Wrecks Canadian Lock
In Soo Canal.
ENGINEER MISTOOK HIS SIGNALS
Two Vessels Went to Bottom and
Third is Badly Damaged Loss
Over Million and a Quarter.
Sault Ste. Marie, Mich., June 10.
Because the engineer of the Gilchrist
liner Perry G. Walker misunderstood
signals from the - pilot this afternoon
as the vessel was off the Canadian
locks of the "Soo" canal, the $4,000,
000 waterway is damaged to the extent
of $1,250,000; the Perry G. -Walker
and the Crescent City are sunken
wrecks, the Canadian Pacific steamer
Assiniboia is badly damaged and two
waterfalls and a giant whirlpool are
raging in what was formerly the great
canal. ,
The Walker, a steel steamer of over
4,000 tons displacement, was approach
ing the canal locks from Lake Superior,
when her captain signalled the engineer
for "half speed." The engineer mis
understood the gonga and the big
freighter was sent forging ahead at top
speed, striking the leaf-gates of the
high- level chamber of the canal and
crushing them in like paper. Instantly
the full force of all the water in Lake
Superior surged into the chamber, car
rying the Walker with it as if the big
freighter were only a feather.
At the same time the Crescent City,
of the Steel Trust fleet, was entering
the locks from the lower end, while a
little distance astern of her was the C.
P. R. boat Assiniboia. The rush of
water in the upper lock swept down
the intervening canal gates and poured
through in an uncontrollable torrent.
On the crest of the great wave thus
made was carried the Walker, and the
rush Of water picked up the Crescent
City like a chip of wood and hurled her
against the Assiniboia.
A huge hole was torn in the bow of
the latter vessel, while the two former
ones were carried through the canal
and sank in the open water beyond.
Tugs went to the rescue of the Assini
boi and hauled her to the flats on the
American side, where she settled into
the soft mud.
. The loss to the Canadian govern
ment probably will reach 250,000
pounds, and the damage to the Assini
boia is estimated at $100,000.
READJUST TARIFFS.
Interstate Cammerce Commission to
Hold New Hearing.
Washington, June 10. Under an or
der issued by the Interstate Commerce
commission today all class rates fixed
by its recent decision in the Spokane
case will be put into effect July 1, but
the commodity rates touched upon in
that case will continue as at present
without change until after the commis
sion has taken further, testimony and
given further consideration to such
rates, both to the Coast and from Coast
points East. This order was entered
after a brief hearing this morning,
participated in by representatives from
Spokane. Portland and other interested
Coast and Interior cities.
This is a practical reversal of the
famous freight rate case. While the
whole matter of graded rates and the
effort of the railroads to build up job
bing centers in the Middle West to the
detriment of the Pacific Coast is post
poned until the fall for a full hearing
and discussion, the commission has
withdrawn, tentatively at least, from
the position it assumed in the decision
in the Spokane case when it ordered
reductions in class and 32 commodity
rates from. Chicago to Spokane.
Although the class rates ordered at
that time are' to go into effect, these
rates only affect less than carload lots
and scarcely 15 per cent of the traffic
moves under them.

Declares Man Shot in Court Room
Entitled to Sympathy.
San Francisco. Tunfi 9. A nnnrrol
unparalleled bitterr-paa. i nvnluinor
Judge William P. Lawlor and virtually
all of the attorneys
trial of Patrick Calhoun, enlivpnori a
day otherwise devoted to presentation
ui routine testimony. Assistant Dis
trict Attorney Henev started the rlia-
pute by charging that Earl Rogers, an
attorney for the defense, had been
miling at certain members of the jury.
There WaB an ATllTTV rAflnnnnp ffrtm
John T. Barrett, of the defense, who
declared that the tirosecution had un
necessarily prolonged the trial by the
introduction of trivial matters.
The subject of the iurors' smiles waa
about to be dismissed, when John J.
Barrett reopened the issue by saying:
"I do not think we should be lec
tured by the district attornev into a
state of seriousness reeardini? thia
case. The prosecution has event wppkn
in a presentation of matter that is ri
diculous, trivial and ludicrous, attempt
ing Dy tne length of time devoted to
their presentation to make the jury
think them worthy of consideration."
for these remarks Barrett was
sternly reprimanded by Judge Lawlor,
who told the attorney that if he made
another such reference he would send
him to jail.
If the court intends to Dunish me."
Barrett answered, "then what about
this man sitting over here, who has re
peatedly been permitted to insult the
court, the jury and the attorneys?"
Heney at once took up the fray and
shouted:
"These are the ebullitions of a man
who was appointed to office by the
crookedest mayor the citv ever had.
Eugene E. Schmitz."
Why, you've been mixed ud in more
crooked work than any man in this
courtroom," said Barrett.
Mr. Heney has never insulted the
court, "thundered Judge Lawlor sternly.
He has certain temperamental Qual
ities which I have observed and made
allowance for. He was stricken down
in this court while engaged in the per
formance of his duty, and resumed his
activities at an early date. Mr. Heney
is laboring under embarassments which
should appeal to the humanity of any
individual. That circumstance appeals
to the court if it does not appeal to
counsel on the other side."
Strike Against Spanking.
Santa Barbara, Cal., June 10. Be
cause she severely spanked an obstrep
erous pupil, all of the 14 members of
the school taught by Miss Cavita Lane
at the Santa Rose rancho, seven miles
from this city, are on strike, and for
three months Miss Lane has been daily
holding school without scholars. Every
day Miss Lane appears at the door of
the school room, rings the bell, and
then quietly seats herself at the desk
on the rostrum. No pupis put in their
appearance, and she whiles away the
day and at 4 o'clock goes home.
Plan Big Naval Review.
London, June 10. A formal invita
tion from America to, Great Britain to
participate in a naval review to be
held in San Francisco next October to
celebrate the rebuilding of the city af
ter the earthquake of April, 1906, has
been presented. The question is one
for consideration by the cabinet, and
it probably will be several days before
an answer is received. There is much
likelihood of acceptance, aa there is
strong friendly feeling in England.
Cut Out Preservatives.
Atlantic City, N. J., June 10. The
American Medical association, through
its bouse of delegates, went on record
as opposed to the use of benzoate of
. soda or any other preservative in food
products. The resolution will be taken
to Washington by Dr. A. L. Reed, of
Cincinnati, and presented directly to
President Taft, who will be asked to
pupport the legislation desired.

Senator Dolliver Breaks Appointment
for Speech at College.
Durham, N. C, June 9.- Because
United States Senator Dolliver, of
Iowa, cancelled at the last moment an
engagement to deliver the annual ad
dress at Trinity college commencement
tomorrow evening, President Kilgore
from the rostrum tonight accused him
of unfair treatment
"This is the first time any man has
treated us unfairly," said the presi
dent. "Senator Dolliver had ten days
to make this announcement and he
waits until the last moment to embar
rass us." After stating that Mr. Dolli
ver in the telegraph message he sent
gave physical exhaustion and tariff
duties as his reasons for declining.
Dr. Kilgore stepped from the rostrum
and declared, it is alleged, to friends :
' I would as soon look to a bootblack
for wisdom and character as to a
United States senator. I wouldn't trust
some to cultivate a peanut patch."
Favor American Horses.
London, June 9. At the Interna
tional horse show this morning, W. H.
Moore, of New York, took second
prize with Berkeley Bantam in Class
II, judging of pony stallions foaled
previously to or in 1906, not exceeding
14 hands.
Olympia was packed to its fullest
capacity this afternoon for the gala
performance of the horse show in honor
of the visit of the King and Queen.
Ambassador Whitelaw Reid and
practically all the other ambassadors
and ministers in London were present,
accompanied by their wives and daugh
ters. The big event, the jumping com'
petition for the King's cup, in which
teams representing Argentine Repub
lic, Canada, Great Britain, France and
Italy, took part, was won by the French
team,
New Massacre in' Turkey.
Berlin, June 9. The Tageblatt's
Aleppo correspondent states that the
Turkish authorities last week executed
12 of the ringleaders, including six Ar
menians, concerned in the Aaana mas
sacres. The energetic course of the
government, the correspondent adds.
caused the populace in the region be
tween Alexandretta and the moutains
to begin a new massacre, in which
about 100 persons were slain. The
Young Turk committee did everything
possible to prevent the disorders, but
needs reinforcements, however.
Cyclist Helpless in Sun.
Ely, Nev., June 9. Dr. W. L. Ma-
good, a prominent dentist of this city,
started for Osceola, 60 miles distant,
last Saturday, riding a motor cycle.
When on the desert he was thrown from
his seat, breaking his wooden leg. He
was unable to walk, and after crawling
for four miles in the scorching sun.
collapsed by the roadside, where he
was found 20 hours later in a serious
condition, having been without food or
water for that time.
Indianapolis, June 8. If the balloon
Indiana has not been disqualified by
touching earth it has broken the Amer
i :an endurance record by staying in
the air more than 44 hours. ' Since the
balloon started in the national distance
race of the Aero club of America from
this city Saturday two reports have
been received from it.
One was that it had touched the
earth in Tennessee and had taken on
water and proceeded toward the south.
If this is true the balloon is disquali
fied under the rules of the International
Aeronautical Federation. A second
dispatch signed by the pilot, Carl
Fisher, and his aide, G. L. Bumbaugh,
has stated that they dropped down near
enough to earth to let down a lid and
draw up a bucket of water. Under
these conditions she has not been dis
qualified. It is not possible according to avail
able information, that the Indiana had
broken the distance record of 862
miles, for it was traveling due south
and would come to the Gulf coast al
most 100 miles short of the record es
tablished by the German balloon Pom
mem in the .international race nearly
two years ago for the James Gordon
Bennett trophy, which started from St.
Louis ai.d landed at Asbury Park, N. J.
The last of the six balloons entered
in the national distance race from
which a definite landing report has
been received is the St. Louis III,
which dropped at Kelso, Tenn., having
covered about 340 miles. A. B. Lam
bert was pilot and H. E. Honeywell the
aide. Other balloons landed are as
follows :
New York, A. Holland Forbes, pilot:
landed at Corinth, Mass., covering 375
miles in 36 hours, 10 minutes.
University City, of St. Louis, trav
eled 340 miles, landing at Blanche,
Tenn. ; time, 25 hours, 24 minutes.
Hoosier, Captain Baldwin, pilot,
traveled 240 miles, landing at Green
Brier, Tenn.
Cleveland, landed at Columbus, Ind.,
40 miles, 2 hours 55 minutes.
Dr. Gothelink, pilot, and R. J. Ir
win, assistant, flying the Indianapolis,
won both the trophies in the handicap
race, which started at 3 :45 o'clock Sat
urday afternoon, just preceding the
national race. The Indianapolis won
the cup offered for the greatest dis
tance by the Indianapolis Merchants'
association, having approximately 16
miles better to her record than the
Ohio. She also won the Fisher trophy
for time in the air, having a margin of
almost two hours over the Chicago,
The victory of the Indianapolis men
and their balloon is considered remark
able, inasmuch as they are new at bal-
looning. They started on their flight
with but five bags of sand, and were
lightly provisioned. They made 235
miles, and were in the air 19 hours.
A message from them says their high
est altitude was 13,000 feet. They
were shot at twice as they went over
Kentucky, but were not hit.
Tne New lorn, whicn landed near
Corinth, Miss., was also 'shot at Sun
day night, while passing over Morgan
county, Alabama.
Two Killed t Re-union.
' Memphis, Tenn., June 9. Intense
heat characterized today's sessions of
the Confederate reunion, 80 persons
being prostrated, two dying. There
was a reception to the women of the
Confederacy tonight. A flower parade
in which many women participated,
followed the afternoon session.
Utah Floods Still Rising.
Salt Lake, June 8. Rain is feeding
the overflowing streams in and about
Salt Lake tonight, and there is no pros
pect of a recession of the floodwaters,
which have already inflicted damage to
the extent of $80,000. The raging
torrent has filled the bed of City creek
with sand and gravel until the stream
has overflowed. The street is two feet
under water, sidewalks are buried in
mud and lawns are quagmires. Street
cars are operated with great difficulty.
Jordan riveris overflowing and driv

Aeronaut to Ape Columbus.
Chicago, June 8. With the same
northeast trade winds with which Col
umbus figured out his route to the dis
covery of America, Joseph Brucker
says he will attempt to cross the
Atlantic in an airship or dirigible bal
loon. He said : "I will spend most of
the winter in building my airship and
in the spring I expect to start my voy
age from Cadiz, Spain. I expect to
land either in Cuba or somewhere in
the Middle states."
Nebraska Suffers Heavily.
Lincoln. Neb.. June 8. Seven inches
of rain at Hebron and four inches at
Pleasantdale today caused floods and
serious damage in and near those
towns. More than 200 feet of Bur
lington track were under six feet of
water, and trains were stalled for ten
honors. A Burlii.gton freight engine
and four cars went into a ditch on ac
count of the soft track.
White Salmon Moves Back.
White Salmon, Wash., June 8. The
Columbia river at this place is high and
still rising rapidly. It is expected the
waters will reach the highest point in
many years. A large part of the flat
below the town is flooded and prepara
tions are being made to move above
the danger -line many buildings and
warehouses near the water edge.
