Strong testi mony against the Aldrlch currency 8. said books to be'P'an given today by Leslie M. Shaw, of Iowa, former secretary of the treasury, before the sub-committee of the house currency committee, of which Representative Carter Glass, of Virginia, Is chairman. "As I understand It," said 8haw, "the object of congress is to relieve Wall street from the control which It now exercises over the finances of the country. The relief must consist of some form of supplementary currency, which should spring Into existence when needed, remain In use as long as needed, and then be retired. This will relieve tho country from dependence ' WalI Btrectt anJ alg0 w nUen cltlp(l of m m mmMon or lpM !from dependence upon cities of a mll- :iion or more ,.

W. Saunders, a cook who has been employed at the Insti tution but who was last night dis charged by Superintendent Hale made statements to a state official and to reporters tills morning. No officials or employes of the school are Impli cated In the charges made by Saun ders. Saunders is the man who wrote the letter to a certain member of the state board calling attention to alleged lack of dlsedplihe at tho training school which was one of the reasons for the calling of the preliminary Investiga tion of Superintendent Hale on Mon day. Saunders will be called before official Investigation Friday and will be asked to prove his assertions. He says that he will be glad to appear. He asserts that he wrote the letter to tho Btate board member because of the general lock of management In the Institution. Other than this he has nothing against the character of Su perlntendent Halo except what has grown on' of his discharge by that official lasi night. Saunders said Halo . bal1 ot A'hert Hendricks accused 'if had discharged him last night when ' assaulting two young girls, and who he had admitted writing tho trouble- j later fled t,le c'ty tn8 executive corn some letter. nilttee of the Oceanside Womens club "Halo came to me," said Saunders. ) liere todft5r Issued an Invitation to all "and said It was a mighty unprlncl-1 w omen's organizations to Bond rcpre pled man who would write such a lot-1 sentatlves to a mass meeting sched ter and not sign his name to It.

Saunders declares that when tho at- tentlon of the superintendent was call- ed to the vices existing among the boys he refused to believe them or to ' give them consideration. The matter of the moral conditions of the school wore not booked to be Investigated Friday. Superintendent Hale had boen charged with purchasing cattle with out proper authority nnd with main taining lax discipline. Governor West says that the blame, If blame there Is, tor tho purchaso of the cattle rests upon his own shoulders. The execu tive also defends tho policy of disci pline Inaugurated by Superintendent Hale. Snys He Wrote LoMrr.

All union men, num bering 300, have already walked out, and many non-union men are expected to Join In the strike. The right of the men to organize Is the chief Issue between the strikers and the company. A uniform wage scale to apply In all these cities Is an other demand. '"The strike was called as a last re sort," said John Morganthalor, vice president of the Pacific district coun- . cil for tne Brotherhood of Electrical Workers, "rather than submit to re linquishment of labor's Inalienable right to organize."

NO HRUXiE FOR THE LITTLE SAXTIAM For the seventh time the citizens of Strlngtown nnd Shellmrn were com pelled to return to their homes vester- day afternoon without gaining satisfac tion from the Marlon county court rel ative to the petition for a bridge across the Santlam river near Strlngtown. For years the petitioners from the Bouth end of tho county have been seeking aid from tho court In establish ing n brldgo between tho respective towns ncroBS the wicked little Santlam, but nothing has been accomplished bo far notwithstanding the diligent work on tho pnrt of the various delegations. The court decided lust night that $10,000 was too much money to expend for a bridge nt the ponlt in ques tion and that the number of settlers Is not largo enough to warrant such an expenditure at this time. It Is believed by the court that a Btnel brldgo will lie necessary, if any bridge Is to bo constructed at r.ll, and Marlon county's share of tho expenso will bo in tho neighborhood of $10,000, whllo Linn oaunty will possibly bo required to expend in tho neighborhood of $30,000.

Tioga Point, Wash., Jan. 8. "Most of the men were In their berths when t he crash came," declared Quartermas ter Fred Peters, survivor of tho Rose crans, who drifted to this place from tho scene ot tho wreck on a plank, a distance of seven miles.

I groped my way through tho darkness in nn effort to gain the deck, but had no sooner gotten to tho top of the coiiipaiilonway than a breaker picked mo up like a feather and carried me clear to tho opposlto side of the vessel, which, because ot her Hat, was high In the air. "I remember being struck by a plank a moment after being washed off the boat, and I grabbed this tightly. Then I lost consrloiisncHS, and did not come to again until I felt my feet on the sands after being washed ashore here. I "It was awful the way the boys fought nnd scrambled to get freo of that Inky black bunk cabin. I could seo a few of them trying to drag them selves up the compnnlonway with a dozen others pulling them back beforo the big wave that bore me away choked the vessel with water from stem to stern. "I am sure the majority of the men never lived to reach tho deck, and the three who were taken from the rigging must have been on tho hurricane deck when the crash came. Tho boys did not shout or scream much. There was too much water choking them, nnd they were fighting too hard to get on deck.
