COLIMA DISASTER.
THE PASSENGERS WERE ALL REALLY
MURDERED.
Heavy Damage Suits Will Follow
By Relatives of the Victims.

SAN FRANCISCO, June S.-Gustav
Rowan, n OF the survivors Of the
Colima, has sen a communication
to the Call in which he says: 81
want to make a statement now il
you will allow me to do so. You can
find out what l say is true il you
will see other men picked up.
Some of them will not tell the
truth as they have been promised
money to keep still. The Colima
was lost because she vas badly
handled by officers without capa-
city when the gale struck us.
When 1 saw the ship was going to
sink l went after the life
preservers and commenced to give
them out to passengers. The
steward told me to let them alone
and ordered me forward. l was
saved because l got a life preserver
and If the others had been allowed
to get them too many, would have
been saved with me. The passen-
gers were kept penned up until the
last moment and then made to go
down in the ocean like a pack Of
dogs. II some Of the passengers had
killed the steward who kept them
from getting to safety it would
have been a mercy to the others.
In spite of what he told me l kept
on giving out the life preservers
and by this saved some people
from death.
The Chronicle this morning says
as a result of the testimony given
at::the Federal inquiry of the cause
of the Colima disaster, a number
Of suits for damages will be

CHICAGO, June S.--Trades Un-

Notices have been posted Of a
meeting to be held Thursday, June

is to form a military organization

ment with the militia Of the state
is regarded.in the light Of a radi-
cal innovation. A few months ago
connection with the militia was
regarded as sufficient to expel a
man from a union. There are
many records of such action. Now
many Of the leaders believe that
they have been making a mistake.
Now they hold that 1t is the duty
of trades unionists to become iden-
titled with the military organiza-
tions Of the state. The posting of
the notice Of the meeting occas-
toned a good deal Of excitement
among the rank and file OF the or

coming meeting was being talked
about. 1t was the general opinion
that the meeting would be we'll at

awe have come to the conclusion
that we owe it to ourselves and u
families to see that the laws Of the
state are properly administered
and that property is protected in
time Of trouble" said the secretary
of one of the leading organizations.
"This can be done in nc better way
than by having III members in a
position to enforce the law them
selves. During the railroad strike
of a year ago, President Debs
issued a card in which he distinct
ly said that any n who destroyed
property or interfered with the
new men must be considered the
enemy Of organized labor, yet in
the face Of this card cars were
burned, men were assaulted and
peace generally broken. What we
intend to do is to stand guard in
the future ourselves and we will
then be in a position to tell the
public who violates the law.

WHICH is TRUE?
TWO TALES OUT ABOUT THE WET.
MORE Trouble.
The Negroes Name Is Horace Griffin
and It is Said That He Did
Not Try to Outrage
Ruiz's Wife.

Constable McCloskey yesterday
received information of a Negroes
assault upon a Mexican woman,
which took place near Wetmore
station, several miles north of San
Antonio, on the International rail.
road, last Tuesday afternoon. The
information was brought in by a
Mexican, named Alcario Ruiz, who
swore out an affidavit before JUS.
tice Jones, charging Horace Griffin,
a colored man, aged about Go years,
with committing an assault upon
his wife, aged about As years.
Constable McCloskey immedi-
ately detailed Deputy Peterson to
60 to Wetmore. The latter returned
last night about 1880 o'clock with
Griffin and lodged him in the
county jail on two charges-as-
sault to murder and assault to rape.
His bond was fixed at $1,000 by
Justice Jones this morning and he
was taken before the grand jury.
According to RuiZ's statement,
the Negro had the Mexican's wife
on the floor in an attempt to out
rage her, and when Ruiz ran to his
wife's assistance the Negro re-
leased her and rushed at Ruiz with
a pistol and struck her over the
head with 1t.
That's one side OF the story. The
other is as follows: Griffin is q
farmer, 60 years old, and lives near
Wetmore, in d two-story house.
Ruiz and wife we're employed by
Griffin, the former to work in the
field and the latter to do house.
work. When Ruiz returned from
the field for dinner he saw his wife
cooking. He did not like this and
told Griffin so. He said he would
work for him, but would not let
his wife cook for him.
The trouble then began. Griffin
told Ruiz that he had hired him to
work in the field and his wife
to do the homework. Ruiz denied
this and Griffin called him a liar
and struck him. Ruiz ran to his
room up stairs and came down
with a knife, Griffin saw him and
got his pistol and pointed it at
Ruiz, commanding him to drop
the knife. Ruiz did as he was told
and Griffin struck him over the
head.
It is claimed that Griffin did
not touch Ruiz's wife. Griffin has
q wife and four children.

SUPREME COURT DECISION.
It Fixes the Date When the Tariff
Law Was in Effect.

WASHINGTON, May S.-Chiet
Justice Fuller, in the Burr and
Hardwicke case, involving the date
when the present tariff law went
into effect, which was announced
Monday, but was not read, was
made public today. In summing
up the Chief Justice says: AS the
act Of 1890 was not repealed by the
act Of 1894 until the latter act be-
came a law when the inconsistent
law were declared thereby repealed
we think 1t cannot be doubted
that Congress intended the rates Of
duty prescribed by the act Of 1894 to
be levied on the first day OF August
il the bill should then be a law,
and if not then as soon after that
date as 1t should become q law.
The first day Of August duties pre-
scribed by the first section Of the
act OF 1894, could not be lawfully
levied and SO far as to importa-
tions in this case and others SINH
larly situated, the law required the
exaction Of duties prescribed by
the act of 1890.
AS TO such importations the first
section of the act Of 1894 could not
be literally carried out, unless by
holding it to operate as a restora-
tive repeal Notwithstanding the
saving clause and this we con-
slider altogether indispensable
The language of section l was
that ION and after August l, there
shall be levied, a tax" and that
certain enumerated articles shall
be exempt from duty. In our
judg ment the word "shall" spoke
for the future and was not intend
ed to apply to transactions COM
pleted where the act became a
law.
