Ooiiir down almost to the bot tom oi the sea with the ill-fated Co- 1 . wmuia ana coming up again to float for two hours in the icy wat ers with no supiHrt but a door, was the remarkable experience of Tearl Beebe, of Tortland, as related to a . ielegram reporter. Mis Beebe, a .tall Dlotide, has one hand bandaged ' as a result of her ellort to save her 'life. "I asked several men to show me how to put 011 a life preserver, but (they were too busy saving them ' selves," said Miss llcebe, "so I re turned to my room and read the in structions. When I got on deck the ship went down and I with it. It seemed as though I would never stop. 'Hold your breath,' I kept saying to myself and I tried hard, Jut still I wanted air. I don't know how far down I went, but suddenly the wire rope was jerked from my hand. lYrhaps the Co lumbia striking bottom did it. Then I legan going to the top of the waves. For two hours I floated by means ot the life preserver. In the dark I struck something, it was a door and I clung to this; a big wave took me to a raft .and after those on loard it told me they could got reach me I climlcd on and was saved. I had almost no clothing on and on reaching the San Tedro I'was given a pair of overalls. W. il Smith, of Tortland, won't tell you, but he was one of the most taluable men 011 the wreck, doing much to save other women and my self. The last of the women to be i saved by Captain Doran was Mi Buxton., trained nurse from lot- est Grove.

Carrie Martin, of Eugene, was quickly prepared to take her chances with the ocean, and put on a Hie preserver, but was told there was no danger, and removed it and put r ' a LtA on a coat. A lew minutes lain word came that the Columbia was sinking, and Miss Martin bad just time again to don the preserver and make ber escape from below. San Francisco, July 24. Cap tain Bermingbam, United States Su pervising Inspector of Hulls and Boilers for this district, will tomor row begin an investigation of the sinking of the steamer Columbia by the steam schooner San Tedro, in which 77 lives are believed to have been lost. Captain Bermingbam declared to day that he would institute a most thorough inquiry . into the loss of the vessel. He went to Eureka to day to take the depositions of the Captain and crew of the San Tedro and summoned the oSicers and crew of the Columbia to be in attendance. Captain Bermingbam said: "I' the published statements that the San Tedro refused to take on board a boatload of survivors is true, then the master of that vessel is guilty of manslaughter."

Not un til Captain Hansen and the members of the crew of the San Tedro reach here from Eureka, where they are now engaged in a squabble with the master 01 tue ueo. vv. iiiuer over the latter's claim for salvage, will Inspectors Bolles and Bulger begin the inquiry into the ' cause of the wreck of the steamer Columbia The Inspectors intend to get from Captain Hansen a full statement of the affair, with particular reference to the charge that he misunderstood the signals given by Captain Doran from the bridge of the Columbia and failed to give the Columbia op portunity to clear the course of the lumler schooner. Captain Hansen will also be call, ed upon to answer the charge made by Third Officer Hawse, in his sworn report to the inspectors, that Captain Hansen acted In a cruel and innuman manner after the wreck and refused to assist in the work of rescue by taking on board his vessel boatloads of people whom the sail ors of the Columbia had dragged Irom the water. Mr. Hawse makes the positive statement that when he approached the San Tedro with 15 rescued people in his boat, Cap tain Hansen ordered him off, say iug that the schooner could not take any more on board, When the firemen turn out the thing to look tor is a hot time. Terhaps it is a good thing for the American people that they can't read the Japanese newspapers. "Is it a white vest, or a white waistcoat?" asks an exchange. If you can afford only one, brother, it is a vest. William Dean Howells says it is a crime to accept money for poetry. Hut isn't the man who paya money for poetry also guilty?

This came about through a decision in favor of a Minnesota teacher which was construed wrong ly, and has given rise to the opin ion that teachers are exempt from ordinary rules. When a young woman's heart is broken by a fickle suitor she is con sidered justified in claiming damages in a good round sum for the break age.
