HARRIMAN CUTS RATES ON SEAS Begins War on the Lumber Schooners Plying Between | This Port and Portland SCHWERIN TO THE FORE | Charters Vessels to Fight| Competitors in the Inter-| est of Oregon Merchants —_— President E. H. Harriman of the big | ‘Western railroad system and steamship lines has declared war on the lumber schooner owners engaged in ocean traf- fic here and Portland. Yes- t step was taken by the to show the schooner n that he means business, when the schooner Nome City was offered on the Columbia River to carry lumber to this city at a rate of $2 50 per 1000, which between ) less than the regular- rate charged the schoomers. This an- nouncement was followed by the de laration that the E man people were ready to place several more schooners the route and that unless the schooner men quit cutting rates the egon Railroad and Navigaion pany, through which Harriman is ac ing, will carTy on the war relentlessly. Harriman’s move is the result of a recent protest made by the merchants and jobbers of Portiand to General Manager Schwerin of the Oregon Rail! road and Navigation Company, to the effect t the schooner men were cut- ting rates below those of the Oregon Kailroad and Navigation Company, | thus greatly injuring business in that eity. A representative of the com- | 1 bodies of Portland was sent | i onfer with General who assured them e the matter up with sident Harriman and Traffic Direc- tor Stubbs.

He is thought not to have been one of the plotters, but merel’y to have deemed the chance’ a good one to get away. Warden Yell intended that the lesson which the conyicts. were learning hould be as impressive as possible. Up to this time about fifty shots had been fived, but only from rifles and revolvers. ‘With a wave of his hand !’he Warden caused the Gatling guns in the high turrets to send hun- dreds of their deadly pellets scurrying along the path which the convicts had hoped would. secure them their freedom. They did no harm other than tear up the ground along their course, but the deafening discharge and the havoc down the roadway struck terror to the convicts and thelr sympathizers. . $ :]\'hen the firing had ceased it was found that Guard Jolly was badly in- jured.

The convicts were emboldened by the success of that venture. They have been waiting for a chance to repeat it, and it came to- day with a result that the convicts shall not soon forget. They probably thought we would not shoot, but they were fooled. One of them, after he had crossed the canal bridge, went up 'to a guard and demanded his gun.

It is very unfortunate that any of the officers were in the way of the flying bullets, but my orders were to fire and prevent an escape at all hazards. I was soon on the scene myself and got busy with my magazine revolver.” MANY INVOLVED IN PLOT TO ESCAPE. “Did you hit anybody?” the Warden was asked. “Well, now, don’t ask that,” said Warden Yell, smiling. “Everybody was shooting, you know, and some of them hit, so let it go at that. I don't know how many shotsI fired. I haven’'t had time yet to examine my maga- zine. I cannot say now how many were involved in or knew about this move to escape. That it was a well planned conspiracy is of course evi- dent. The men were armed with knives fashioned from such pieces of metal as they could, in the course of months past, lay hands on and sharpen in their cells. I shall make a thorough investigation into the whole affair. I have known for a long time that this thing was coming, indeed, since I have been Warden I have broken up several plots to escape before they had got as far as this one. The men involved in to-day’s break are what we call bad prisoners. Most of them were in for life or ‘long ‘terms and they were regarded as desperate men. I think their plan was to make off in the direc- tion of Folsom and they expected it would be more or less easy for them to run by one guard post after another. However, they did not get the chance to run by any.” | Charles Jolly, the wounded guard, figured in a heroic manneér in the big break of 1903, and was badly cut by the escaping prisoners. His home is in the town of Folsom. Captain Murphy was likewise attacked by the convicts in the previous break, the escaping prisoners using his body as a shield against the fire of the guards. rds of the Felons Who Headed the Revolt Francisco Quijada was under life sentence for murder committed in Los Angeles. He has been in Folsom Prison since 1896. John Quinlan was senténced to twelve years' imprisonment for a rob- bery committed in San Francisco. He has been in the prison since August 16, 1904. G. W. Finley was under life sentence for a murder committed in Men- docino County in 1897 Daniel Kelly was recently transferred from San Quentin, where he was undergoing. a sentence of seven yeaars fur burglary committed in San Francisco. He was sentenced last November. Kelly previously served a three months’ sentence in the San Francisco County Jail. Charles Carson was serving a life sentence for robbery. He had served some time before for a similar ¢rime. .He has traveled under the aliases of Henry Brown and George Wiison. Amelio Morales was under life sentence for assault to commit robbery. The crime was committed in Marin County. Morales had served nine years previously for burglary. His present sentence was pronounced June 7, 1904. H. C. Hill bore the worst reputation of alk the convicts concerned in the outbreak. He was serving his third term, thirty-six years, for robbery committed in Placer County. In 1889 he was sentenced to seventeen years for a similar crime and previous to that, under the alias of A. E. Dodge, served five years. OAKLAND, Dec. 20.—Joseph E. Baker, former commissary of Folsom prison, who was well acquainted with Hill, or “Fargo,” as he was known at the prison, was seen at his home in Oakland to-night. He said: “‘Fargo,” as he was called by the convicts, was known to us as Henry Hill, but he once told my wife that Hill was not his right name, but he re- fused to tell anything more about himself. “*Hill was serving his third term in prison, having been first sentenced from Humboldt County for gobbery. His second sentence was also for rob- bery, and he was serving his present term for stage robbery, committed in Placer County. He was wounded when he held up the stage. He was about 50 years of age.” MAN PLUNGES FROM HEICHT Hunnnfi R. Carlson Falls a Hundred Feet and Lies Un- | conseious for Three Hours R S For three hours last night Herman R. Carlson, a stevedore of 2347 Nine- teenth street, lay unconscious at the bottom of a 100-foot bluff immediately beneath his home at the corner of Utah street and Potrero avenue. On regaining his senses, although his left leg was fractured in three places, he managed to drag himself over the rough ground to a ‘point where his cries were heard by passing pedes- trians. ’ Carlson was repairing his fence at the brink of the precipice shortly be- fore dusk. One of the boards gave way and the unfortunate man was hurled down over a hundred feet. In his downward flight Carlson turned a se- ries of somersauits and landed on his head and hands, _Although he fell from a terrible height, the stevedore sus- tained only a compound fracture of the leg and a lacderated scalp. e When aid reached him Carlson was sitting calmly on a rock, apparently suffering Jittle. He said he attempted to reach the City and County Hospital, two blocks away, but his injured limb became too heavy to drag. Carlson’s wife objected to his being taken to the Central Emergency Hos- pital and stood at the top of the cliff shaking her fist at the hospital attend- ants. The injured man was treated by Dr. Glover. pan Y S S T, HEROES WELCOMED HOME.

He says the natives will not work in the flelds, and that the Americans cannot; hence the preservation of the sugar and rice industries is seriously threatened by the prohibition of immigration of Chinese and the inability to grant aid to the Portuguese. —————— NEW YORK, Dec. 20.—The girl who was von Koerber's retire.

CHARGES ARE SENSATIO! The court that tried Irvine met in this city in December, 1884. The trial was a.engthy one and the verdict was not given until January, 1885. One of the counts on which Irvine was found guilty was the alleged misrepresenta. tion of an utterance of Mrs. Burgess. The most serious chargé against Ir- vine was made by Miss Maria W. Sea- body, a young woman with whose fam- ily he had become acquainted in Long Island City, where Irvine was once connected with St. James Church. On August 25, 1884, the young woman was married to J. J. Miller, organist of the weeks later she told her husband of Ir- vine’s alleged conduct toward her while in his home, alleging that he had sev. torn the bed clothing from her while she was asleep at night and that he once tore her night robes from her. No criminal act was charged. Miller caused his wife to write a statement to the Bishop, and® this, coupled with other alleged reasons, caused the Bish- Irvine refused and the trial followed. BISHOP MAY BE ARRESTED. PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 29.—Friends of Rev. Dr. Irvine have determined to fight to a finish the charges preferred against Bishop Talbot. ity in canonical procedure cause will file a new presentment against the Bishop, with charges of an even more surprising character. That the friends of the unfrocked rector are powerful and men of means is shown by the fact that nearly 200 witnesses have been summoned to ap- pear at Reading in Dr. Irvine's behalf. The report of a possible arrest came to-day in answer to an editorial by John Fulton in the Standard, the local church organ. Dr. Fulton is an ac- knowledged authority on canonical law. In an editorial he broadly intimated that, owing to the new canon adopted recently in Boston covering the pre- sentment of a Bishop, the present pro- ceedings must fail. It was impossible for Dr. Irvine to sue for criminal libel upon the letter concerning him, written by Bishop Talbot to Dr. Samuel Up- john, because of the statute of limita- tions. It is now asserted, however, that | Bishop Talbot sent a' copy of the let- jter to Dr. Fulton last July and upon this criminal proceedings, it is said, could be begun if the friends of Dr. Irvine found it was going to be impos- sible to get a hearing before the court of inquiry. Dr. Irvine's agents are busy delving into the record of several persons con- nected with the case and upon some of the information thus obtained the pre- gentors may ask leave in secret session to substitute an amended presentment. Every effort is being made by most of the churchmen to eliminate from the discussion of the case any reference to Mrs. Eliott. DR. IRVINE'S STATEMENT. and went Cathedral of St. John in this city.

N. W. Irvine, the plaintift in the celebrated case, to-day, in discuss- ing thé charges which have been made against him. “My reinstatement,” continued Dr. Bishop Talbot and the i Irvine, “is of secondary consideration when contrasted with the foregoing query. Of course, I wish to have this unjust deposition removed, but I wish also, entirely without malice, to be vin- dicated in the sight of God and my friends.” In discussing the motive for the ore- sentment, Dw. Irvine sald that it was because he had persistently refused to serve communion to Mrs. Emma D. El- | llott of Huntingdon, Pa., who is di- vorced, against the wishes of Bishoo Talbot. “Bishop Talbot and I, alonx with | about 1600. other members of the min- istry;” said Dr. Irvine, “sizned the | declaration which was sent to all the Bishops and clergy iIn the United States and pre:zented to the memeral convention of 1398, and which praved for more stringent restrictions in the matter of divorce and remarriage. “The canons of the church provide explicitly that a man or a woman di- vorced on any charge except one, be proved beyond the bounds of reasonable doubt, cannot re- ceive the holy sacrament. In the face of this Bishop Talbot, while he pub licly supported the petition, covertly and by secret meetings with Mrs. El- liott, who is a woman divorced on the ! ground of desertion, sought to have her remain in the church. “Now, who was the more consistent Bishop Talbot or I? Did we not. both of us, sign the petition mentioned? Is it not curlous that Bishop Talbot. ai- though he had written me saving that Mrs. Elliott was, by canon, excommu- nicated,. should, by other methods, seek to retain her as a communicant?” THAT LETTER TO DR. UPJOHN. Referring to the letter which Bishoo Talbot is said to have written to Dr. Upjohn, in which the former termed | Dr. Irvine a “plausible remancer,” | charged that he was deposed for gross { immorality, and stated that “for twen- | ty out of the thir®y years of his serv- ice in the ministry he was under eccle- | slastical discipline,” Dr. Irvine said | that Bishop Talbot has placed himself | in a most awkward position. | “That letter to Dr. Upjohn was un- warranted and eruel,” said Dr. Irvine “since it was, first of all, a gross sub- terfuge. It was used secretly as a weapon against me to deprive me of all sympathy, respect and even mainte- nance. “In the first place, it is an utter im- possibility for the-allegations to be jtrue. The church law requires that a minister shall not be eligible to ad- mittance to another diocese when leav- ing one unless he bears the Tetter de- missary.’ This letter shows that the departing minister has a clear record; jthat his life is beyond reproach, free from error in religion and viciousness in life, and must be signed by the | Bishop.
