Mr.. Crafts OF Portland. The boat was
In charge of young Peterson, who was
skillful In handling boat and every
thing went pleasantly until the party
attempted to return. When off the
mouth of the channel which turns into
Cooks slough. they caught a heavy
squall and 1t is thought that the. sheet
got jammed or fouled and the boat cap
sized. Crafts succeeded In climbing on
top of the boat. and for a time he held
Mrs. Crosby, but she had no strength
and he could not hold her. There was
quite fleet of boats near by, but they
could not go to the rescue at once on ac-
count of the squall Young Newell could
not swim, and, although Peterson was
a good swimmer, he seems to have per-
ished in his efforts to save Miss Kenne-.
dy. Mrs. Crosby and Newell. A boat got
near enough to rescue Miss Kennedy
and Mr.. Crafts. Miss Kennedy was
nearly dead when drawn into the boat,
but the fishermen succeeded In bringing
her to life. None of the bodies have been

yet been decided.
CONVENTION RATES.
CHICAGO, May 13.-The board of
managers Of the Joint Traffic associa-
ton has authorized reduced rates for
the following:
National Prohibition party to be held
at Pittsburgh, May 81, for which rate
of one fair for the round trip will be
made; tickets will be sold May "a, 25
and 26, good going only on date Of sale
and limited to continuous passage in
u
ditions will be made for the national

ventions extended beyond the final re-
turn limit of the tickets the roads will
make them good for the return trip on
the day following adjournment of the
| convention. A one fare also for the
Young Peoples Christian union of the
United Presbyterian church, which is to

LOW RATES DENIED

have refused to make a one-fare rate for
round trip for the meeting of the Tray
elers' Protective association, to be held
at Terre Haute, Indiana.
The Western Freight association men
were in session again today trying to
stiffen their rates. but did not succeed in
doing anything of consequence. Several
! of the roads have outstanding contracts
| at figures that prohibit them from enter
| ing into any agreement to put up rates
and there seems to be no chance that the
| situation will be improved eor some
| months at least.

IN THE HOUSE
Long Session Devoted to the Rinaker-
Downing Contest


WASHINGTON, May 13-The house
after one of the hardest fought parlia.
mentary battles of the session, which
continued until almost o'clock tonight,
recommitted the contested election case
of Rinaker VS.. Downing, from the six
teenth Illinois district, to the commit
tee on elections, with instructions to re-
coount the ballots in dispute. The vote
stood 139 to S5, dividd as follows: Ayes,
81 Republicans, SO Democrats and 3
Populists; nays, S5 Republicans. The
supporters Of the majority report to un-
seat Downing, Democrat, and seat the
contestant. realized that the disaffec-
tlon on their side was so strong that the
minority report would probably be
adopted, and they inaugurated a syste-
matte flibuster to gain time to rally
their forces. The first test of strength
on a motion to adjourn, 96 to 139, con-
hrmed their suspisions, but they fought
valiantly to the end and went down in
the last ditch after staving off the final
action for four hours. The speaker gave
them considerable leeway at the BEGIN
ming OF the fight, but toward the end he
declined to tolerate dilatory tactics. AS
last resort many of the supporters of
the majority refused to vote. but the
speaker counted them and the Demo-
Gratis and dissenting Republicans scored
their victory.
In closing the debate Mr.. Dalzell de-
clared that partisan decision of the
case would be disgrace to a Republi-
can congress. The filibusters, after hay
ing exhausted every expedient were
obliged to allow the vote to be taken on,
the substitute for the majority resolu-
tion in favor of seating Rinaker.
Several advocates of the majority res
olutionS left the house on the roll call
but the quorum held and the substitute
was agreed to, S5 to l35, eleven pres
ent and not voting.
The resolution as amended was then
Continued on Second para.

ST. LOUIS, May Bone of the most
terrific wind and rain storms that ever
struck this city prevailed this evening
between $50 and s o'clock. Trees, signs,
chimneys, smoke stacks, house roefs,
telegraph and telephone poles, with their
burdens OF wires. were Frustrated in the
various sections of the city. The contin-
uous and heavy streams of water which
fell formed connection between trolley
wires and the ground, causing the es-
cape of the fluid, which resulted in
stoppage of cars all over the city dur
ing the storm. Two unknown men in a,
skiff near the Illinois side of the river
We're drowned by the capszing of their
boat, and two more We're thrown out of
a yacht by the violence of the wind and
mad narrow escape from death. At
F1fteenth and Washington streets the
large wooden spire of the Lutheran
church was twisted so badly that its
fall is expected momentarily. The 250-
root smokestack at the Anthony Kuhn
brewery was blown down. In falling it
struck the corner of the brew house
cutting 1t off clean to the ground. Sew,
eral people therein had narrow escapes
from death.

souri,, Kansas. Nebraska. Arkansas and
