WRECKAGE TELLS OF 3EA HORROR British Bark Sights Broken Craft Far From Land. a Special Dispatch to The Call. VICTORIA, B. C.,, March 7.—Some ves- sel has met disaster in the winter gales off the coast according to advices brought by the British bark Inverlyon, Captain Sims, which reached port to-day. The Inverlyon passed the broken stern of some wrecked ship or bark, evidently a lumber carrier, for in the vicinity of the float- ing wreckage was a large amount of drifting lumber, mostly planks of three and four inches thick, -and much of it thirty feet long. The wooden stern, the plankig broken away from the frames split, was drifting in a rough sea in 47.20 s north and between 128 and 129 degrees west, or about 130 miles south west of Cape Flattery. The wreckage was sighted about three The drifting stern, or rather about half of the stern of the wrecked ship, drifted by the Inverlyon within a few hundred yards’ distance. Captain Sims peered through his glasses to en- deavor to discover the name board and the port of hail usually inscribed on the stern of vessels, but he could not make out any name or mark by which the wreckage might be identified. The evi- dences of disaster were complete, but the identity of the lost ship is a mys- tery. The drifting lumber indicates that she was one of the outward bound lum- ber fleet. STEIART NAMED FOR MAYORALT Republicans of Chicago Choose a Standard Bearer. CHICAGO, March 7.—Graeme Stewart was nominated for Mayor._ to | Republican City Convention. O | ballot he received 798 votes out of 940, or | 127 more than necessary to a choice. | John M. Harlan, his only competitor, re- celved the votes of 342 delegates. Harlan supportefs made a game fight and | vainly endeavored to stampede the con- | vention, but where bhopelessly outnum- | bered. Just as the result of the vote was about to be announced Harlan entered the hall. He was greeted with cheers, and after | the formal announcement of the vote ad- | dressed the convention, declaring his in- ntion to work for the election of Stew- art. His declaration allayed apprehen- sions of an independent Republican ticket in the fleld and leaves Stewart the only candidate of his party. — Bond Payment Compromise Offered SANTA CRUZ, March 7.—Recently a committee offered to compromise the re- funding bonds for 60 cents on the dollar, but the bondholders rejected the offer. They have agreed to accept 70 cents on the dollar, which will give the city a saving of $134,000. The amount which they will accept is $310,000, or $4000 more than the face of the bonds. The time in which the offer can be accepted is lim- ited. The offer is now under considera- tion.

WNETEEN DE IV WHTERS OF HUDSON AIER Ferryboat CapsizesWith Load of Italian Laborers. i Workingmen at a Power Company’s Dam Meet With Disaster. 'Boy'l Fright Causes Panic and Scow' Suddenly Careens, Dumping Its | Human Freight Into | the Stream. —_— GLENS FALLS, N. Y., March 7.— capsizing of the boat used by workmen at | | the Spir Falls, about ten miles west of | Glens Falls, on the Hudson Riyer. More | thian 1000 men are employed there at pres- | ent in the construction of the power dam | of the Hudson River Power Company. The laborers and many of the mu:nn![ are Italians, who live in shanties on the north side of the river. The main portion | of the work is carried on at present on the opposite side of the river. The men have been in the habit of crossing a small bridge where the river flows through the | unfinished portion of the dam, but the | river has been rising for several days | and the company, fearing the bridge was | unsafe, destroyed it with dynamite, | Below the work about half a mile is a | ferry. The boat is a scow-shaped affair, | | thirty feet long and thirteen feet wide, | jand Is operated by means of cables. It | | i3 large enough to carry a heavily loaded | team, and as many as 150 men have been | taken across at one time. Yesterday when | the men were being carried across an | Itallan boy became frightened and tell | overboard. He was rescued, however. | Tkis morning seventy or eighty men got | aboard and the boat started, leaving a | big crowd on the bank walting for the next trip. When a few feet from shore the water splashed against the rafl, and | the boy who had fallen over the previous | day seized one of the tackle ropes which | ran from the overhead cable to the stern | ward him, and instantly the boat ca-| reened and filled. The Hudson, swollen by the fresh ralns, hore a score or more | of the struggling men down the stream. | Many others succeeded in catching hold of the boat, which had righted, and they | clung there until they were pulled ashore. The wildest excitement prevailed, but the | current carried many of the men shore, where they were rescued. Teams were quickly harnessed and load- | | ed with skilled log drivers and sent down | along the river to points where the bodies would likely be found. Dozens of dinner | pails, hats and coats were fished out, but | it was nearly 6 o'clock before the first | body was found._ This was found in a log jam two miles below ‘the dam and was recognized as that of an Itallan inter-| preter. The river for miles is_belng| watched and drasged In hopes of finding | the ‘bodies of the other victims. There | were but two or three English-speaking | men on the boat, the Itallans being all | designated by number. The rolls of the | men were called, and to-night everybody has been accounted for except sixteen men, and it is certain that these men | were drowned. Those known to be dead | are: Michael Kennedy, married, leaving a wife and four children; Fred Forran, | married, Italian; “Cigarette,” the Itallan | boy who started the panic. Sixteen oth- ere are missing. It is unlikely that all the bodles will be | recovered. The river is full of logs, and | at the high boom, five miles down the river, there are many thousands of them, | — | DECLINES THE PISTOL 1‘ THAT ENDED A LIFE/ George Kavas, Who Xilled - Jacob | Jensen in Benicia, Acquitted in Suisun. SUISUN, March 7.—The trial of George | Kavas for the murder of Jacob Jensen | at Benicla December 14 was concluded in | the Superior Court here to-day, after last- ing one week. At 8 o'clock the jury, after being out three hours, returned a ver- dict ‘of not guilty. Judge Buckles handed the pistol with which the killing was done to the liberated man, but he refused to accept it. The defendant had pleaded self-defense, his_counsel being Bert Schlesinger and J. J. Sullivan of San Francisco. District Attorney T. T. C. Gregory conducted the prosecution alone. Gregory is a young attorney elected to the dffice last year and this was his first murder case, but he handled it ably. The murder grew out of a row between the strikers and the non-union employes of the tannery of Kullman, Salz & Co., Kavas being a non- union man. The Greek socleties of the United States provided Kavas money with which to make his defense. —_— OF INTEREST TO PEOPLE OF THE PACIFIC COAST Army Orders Are Issued and Several New Postmasters Are Appointed and Commissioned.
