RECORDER
RIVER BOAT MEN
APPEAL GRIEVANCES
Captain Perkins, Suspended With Captain
Leaeve, to Take Up Matter with Of
ficials in Frisco
Charged with Hie righteous indig
nation which attends a just cause,
Captain David Perkins of the steam
or Coquillc left with the Elizabeth
last night for San Francisco to lay bo
fore the government officials there a
few grievances, and appeal from the
decision of Inspectors E. S. Edwards
1
and Geo. VV. Fuller by which they sus
pended his skipper's license for three
months. In the same boat went Cap
tain Anderson to ask for a lighter
sentence than that imposed upon him
in the Randolph investigation; the
revoking of his license without refer
ence to time.
In a star chamber session at Co
quillc Wcdnesduy the inspectors
found both Captains Lenove of the
Charm and Perkins of the Coquillc
guilty of allowing persons without
licenses to take thd wheel of their
respective boats at odd and sundry
times, and suspended the licenses of
both mnriners, the former for six and
the latter for three months.
Commenting on this sentenco the
Coquillc Sentinel says:
"When captains with as good rec
ords us these men have, are suspended
on charges so utterly flimsy nnd triv
ial, a grave injustice is done, which
ought to bo brought to attention of
t' e officials higher up.
"As showing how unreasonable
cuch sentences are for offences of the
sort charged, we need only state thr-t
before Captain Perkins secured his
first license ten years ago, and before
he had his examination for license,
one of these very inspectors who now
condemns him for permitting an un
t uthoried person at the wheel direct
ed him to take the wheel of a steam
er on this river, which he did and ran
n boat most of the way fromCoquille
to Hnndon."
Captain Perkins is regarded as an
unusuully competent navigator and he
is well posted on navigation laws. He
challenged the inspectors to show him
n statuto forbidding the practice of
relegating thu wheel at times to a
subordinate. The inspectors are said
to have admitted that this edict is a
ruling, not a law.
Notwithstanding the swath that
has been cut among river captains,
two men were promptly found to take
tho place of the suspended officers.
They are Cujftain Daniel Roberts of
Coos liny who takes the Coquille and
Captain Myers of Norway who has
charge of the Charm.
The general public which is the
party vitally interested, is beginning
to got woefully tired of tho numer
ous investigations and squabbles and
tho opinion is freely expressed that
it is time for nil bunds to bury the
hatchet, to bo good nnd get back on
the roservnton.

Second Body Is
Found In The
Surf
Sand Releases Two Wreck Victims During
The Week
Twice during the past week the
restless and moody ocean has yield
ed up its dead and two of tho victims
of tho Randolph wreck which occurred
over three weeks ago, have been roll
ed up upon the beach. The latter of
the two was espied by Guardsman
Louis Wick, on. duty at the lookout
this fvrenoon as it appeared upon the
beach, near that outpost.
The body was brought to town this
afternoon and placed in the Elliugson
morgue. At first the trunk of what
was once a man was considered so
mangled that it could not be identi
lied. Hands and foot were gone nnd
every particle of clothing. The
teeth had been also lost in tho grind
ing of the breakers but the back
teeth remained nnd on these the iden
tilicat.ian was made.
It was finally determined to be tho
remains 'of Milton Cox.
Dr. Sorenson had placed silver fil
lings recently in Cox's mouth and by
these the body was dentificd.
Tho widow of R. E. Knorr came up
from Gold Reach Saturday afternoon
and wen t on to Murshfield Sunday,
where with the body of her Into hus
band, tho Randolph wreck victim, she
t()ok the Breakwater for Portland.
There the body is to bo cremated.
The body which washed up on the
beach at about tho same spot asthe
wrecked Randolph, was found Thurs-
dnyday, being first noticed by a wood
cutter. Captain Johnson and his lfc
savers took, charge of tho body and it
was take n to the Ellingson morgue.
At first, in turn, it was thought to
be McConnell nnd Cox and some even
now voice doubt in favor of the Mc
Council theory. The body was un
recognizable, the clothing worn and
encased in sand, the hair gone and the
features worn away by the action of
waves and beach.
Colvin and Anderson, engineer and
captain were both absent, but Chnun
cey Carpenter was located and called
in to give his testimony.
Before he entered the room he gave
a description of Knorr's clothing in
he remembered it; high shoos, kahki
trousers and woolen shirt which tal
lied with such clothing as clung to tho
floater.
When he was admitted to tho room
Carpenter identified the body posi
tivoly. Knorr had been the only
member of the party to wear high
shoes. Looking at the shoes Carpen
ter said he thought he remembered a
pair of buckles more than appeared
and thought they might possibly have
worn oir.Straightening up the nhoes
the missing buckles appeared under
the fold. Mrs. Knorr by telephone
also gave a description by telephone
that made the identification positive
beyond dispute.
A daughter of tho Knotrs' who com
mitted suicide at the Ray last year
was also cremated at Portland.
T. J. Stillwell, an old timo Bnndon
ian, expects to go and live with his
son at Carlton, Oregon, oast of Port
land. Ho leaves Saturday with his
wife on the Rroakwater and Cluis.
Harrows will accompany them. Mr
Stillwell has been very much under
the weather but has recovered sulll
cient to make thu trip.
Some slight improvement of tho
matchwood market is interesting the
holders of this material. There is
something like COO cords of match
wood cut in tho vicinity of Iltindori.

MET THE CONSTABLE
WITH A SHOT GUN
Tale of a Valorous Official and His Fleet
Assistant. Talked it Over Between
Pipefuls.
If you want to know how it feels to
look down the barrel of a gun pointed
at your head by a raging angry, bad
man who says "Get out of here, you
blankcty, blank, or I'll kill you" just
ask E. M. Ulackerby, alius Nick Car
ter. The Recorder last week mention
ed the domestic troubles of V. M.
Smith, whose wife had deserted him
taken their two children and moved to
town.
Mr. Smith later got possession of
the two children and took them home
and threatened to leave the state. The
wife employed an attorney, and secur
ed an order from the circuit judge, re
straining the husband from taking tho
children from the state, and also or
dering the return of the children to the
wife. Ulackerby was selected as the
man to serve the order of the court
and took Fred Feiger along as a wit
ness of tho proceedings.
When the door was opened to admit
of the service of the order, Ulackerby
looked down the barrel of a rifle level
ed at his lisad, and was ordered to
stand at a distance and read the order.
the father became enraged at the or
der and rushed to the doorway whore
the children were and refused Ulack
erby admission to the room where they
were. Ulackerby began to argue the
matter, and :isked if there was any ob
jection to smoking. There being no
objection he began to fill his pipe.
MOantimo there appeared tho asso
ciates of the infuriated father, one of
whom pointed a gun into the face of
Companion Fred Feiger and told Fred
to "beat it". Fred broke the world's
Marathon record nnd returned to Ran
don. When he got to Bandon he told
his story with a few embelishmcnts,
.iaying the last he saw of Rlackerby
ho was sitting in the old man's house,
calmly lighting his pipe.
After much argument Smith agreed
to nliow the constable to have the
children if ho would agree not to turn
them over to tho mother but the olli-
ccr, standing on the old principal of
law that tho officer should not be wis
er than his writ, refused to make any
such agreement.
The father demurred to arousing
the children who had gone to bed for
tho night. Finally it was agreed that
the children might remain for the
night and be brought in on the follow
ing morning at 0 o'clock, which was
done. The father took tho first boat
following for Coquille to secure legal
assistance.

Commercial Club
In Joint Debate
Consider New County Connections as Means
of Awakening Interest
The Commercial club met last Tues
day evening at the city hall with n
somewhat larger attendance than us
ual for the transaction of business and
the discussion of timely topics.
A debate had been arranged for the
evening, to enliven the interest in the
meeting, the question, out a serious
one, but nevertheless an interesting
one, being: "Resolved, that it would be
to the best interest of tho people con
cerned, to create a new county, bound
ed on the north by the Coquille river,
on the cast by the south fork of the
Coquille river and on the south by a
line half way between Port Orford
and the Rogue river."
F. J. Chatburn and N. J. Crain sup
ported the affirmative and J. W. Mast
alone maintained the negative; his
team mate, Dr. Sorenson, having en
gaged in; other important matters at
Mar's store too long to come to the
assistance of his colleague.
It was the general opinion of tho
members that discussions of various
subjects should be arranged ns fre
quently as possible to stimulate int
erest, and build up attendance at the
meetings.
The charter amendments and refer
endum ordinances will doubtless come
up for a share of discussion at later
meetings.
The beech sidewalk is practically
financed and assured. It only re
mains to. "get busy" and build it.
The n6 meeting of the club will be
the fourth Tuesday of May, which will
be the 25th.
An attorney from Michigan who re
cently visited Coos county and spent
about two weeks in the county and
three or four days in Rnudon, stated
that he believed Bandon had more re
sources back of it than the Coos Bay
towns, and had the making of a bet
ter town than any other in the county
and would, in fact, be the biggest
town in the county if it had as many
boosters as some of tho Coos Bay
towns.
Grammar School Boys

Find a Dry Spell Friday and Compete at
Athletic Exercises. Program Continued
Over Until Thursday
The grades in tho high school build
ing took advantage of a dry spell last

and so thoroughly contested that the
program could not be completed and
the directors have been awaiting fav
orable climatic conditions to finish.
It is planned now to hold the last
part of the program next Thursday
afternoon. Prof. Quigloy, athletic
director of the school is in charge, of
the young athletes.

UNIVERSITY MAN TO
DIRECT PAGEANT
Prof. Reddie Takes Interest in Project
and Plans to Assist in Event Next June,
Preparations for Work Underway
Interest in the presentation of the
pageant of Klakahma as recently an
nounced is increasing most grntify
ingly nnd the indications are that
the event will attract spectators from
considerable distances. Mrs. J. L.
Kronenberg, who is behind the project
has received numerous inquiries from
other points in this section of Ore
gon, expressing interest and desir
ing fuller information ns to the scope
und character of the plans.
Prof. Archibald Reddie of the chair
of dramatis art nt Eugene has
promised to come to Bandon to direct
the presentation. He will not be able
to come until after the 15th of June
and the date for the holding of the
pageant will be set for some time be
tween that date and July 1st.
Somewhere between Bandon and
the ferry a stage will be erected
where the woodland surroundings are
suitable and there the record t-.Ul by
the unwinding of "Old Mary's" his
tory ball will be told and pictured by
human illustrations. Over a hundred
characters will bo required for the
presentation and many local people
have already accepted invitations to
help with the work and have had
parts assigned to them.
Among these are Mrs. Mary Walk
er, who will be Mary's grandmother;
Mrs. Avcrdl who will be Mary's
mother; A. D. Mills who will bo the
villain Thecke and others, among
whom are Mr. and Mrs. Howard
Johnston, Mr. nnd Mrs. Guy Dipple,
the Misses Pearl Walker, Lucile Mc
Kay, Elizabeth Fox, Miss Abbott,
Prof. Richards, Mr. Wright and oth
ors.
Airs. Kronenberg will have the
part of Mary with the unwinding of
the ball, although for the delineation
of this character from her youth to
her final pyre will require a number
of characters.
One of the Marys must be a horse
woman for the story will tell an ad
venture of the Indian woman's youth
when, a girl of 12 she rode a mustang
to the vicinity of Gold Beach and res
cued two Spanish women who had
been taken captive there. She stole
them from the tent wherein they were
prisoners and brought them to Kla
kahma, (Bandon) where her fnther,
the chief, furnished an escort to the
women to Scottsburg, the nearest post
of the Hudson's Bay company on the
Umpqun river.
There arc many interesting things
in this historical record of Old Mary's
and they will bo taken advantage of
to make a well rounded story.
The proprietors of the Hub Cloth
ing store have decided it to their
best interests to close up their 'Bandon
branch anil start n new offshoot at
Powers. Competition nppears to bo
rather thick at the new town on the
south fork but the Hub people nre
confident in their ability to hold their
own and secure their shnre oftrndc.
One of the things on which they rely
is the salesmanship of Mr. Sulivuu
their Bandon manager whom
they will establish in charge of the
new store. Mr. Sub van will be miss
ed in Bandon where he has been rec
ognized as one of our most enterpris
ing citizens und will leave a gap in the

Coal Men Propose
Boat Line to Portland
Riverton Mine Operators Encouraged to
Project by Portland Chamber of Com
merce Efforts are now being put forth
which hod out the inducement to
Bandcnians of direct and regular
steambor.t connections with Portland.
The Riverton Fuel Co. is behind the
project and J. R. Mc Gee wu9 in Ban
don yesterday und today endeavoring
to awaken sentiment in such a service.
Briefly stated his proposition is to
ship coal ono way to Portland nnd
got returning cargoes for local con
sumption. Mr. McGee recently re
turned from a trip to Portland and
there the Chamber of Commerce of
tho city gave him strong encourage
ment. It was planned to make four
trips a month with steamboat and the
Portland people offered to find a mar
ket for the coal and to guarantee re
turn cargoes of 200 tons each trip.
The Portland coal market has been
supplied lnrgely by Washington
mine owners and local mine men have
not been able to ship more than sam
ple batches of fuel in that" direction.
The coal market demands a regular
supply and local men could not guar
antee this because of lack of trans
portation. Just at present "buy it in
Oregon" is the slognn of the Portlund
people, and the coal proposition comes
within line of this motto.
No one steamboat is decided on for
this service although three are avail
able. It is not proposed at present
to carry passengers although this is
likely to dcvclope later.
The present rate on freight as
reshipped from Marshfleld is $5.55
for a marine ton while with the new
service the rate will be $3.00 a ton.
Moose Ball Tossers
Take Vengeance
Turn Tables on Independents and Win
7 to 2
The Moose evened up things in their
return game with the Independents
Sunday afternoon and won from
their opponents by a score of 7 to 'J.
The game was Hilled with interest
although the Moose were at no time
in danger.
For tho Mooso, Harry Piorce earned
batting honors with three hits one of
which' was a homo run. Bill Hull
was invinciblu as a fielder and every
thing that came nenr him disappeared
as if into a well. Vic Brcucr was on
the job ull the time behind the but
with the big mit and Schmit Hanson
was fired from the game for going to
sleep.
For the High School Independents
Shumato put up a good game on 3rd.
Windsor on 1st got to dreaming that
he was playing basket ball.
Thu independents showed up strong
in the infield and have confidence they
will wipe the Moose off the mup, at
the game next Sunday.
