SEATTLE, Jan. 2O.-The demeanor OF
Inspectors Turner and Whitney, who are
conducting the Clallam inquiry, today
tends to confirm the general belief that
the inquiry will result in the whitewashing
of the owners and Captain Roberts OF the
ill-fated vessel at the sacrifice Of Chic
Engineer De LAunay.
Whenever a witness makes statements
contradictory to those of Captain Roberts
and others who have taken his side, the
inspectors use brow-beating tactics in an
apparent effort to have the witness con-
tradict himself.
1t is Inspector Turner'S duty to inspect
and see that the engines and boilers on
all Sound boats are in good order, hence
he takes every opportunity to diScredit
the statement Of Chief Engineer De Laun-
ay that the pumps would not work. When.
ever a witness makes statements corrobo-
rating DE Launay the inspectors subject
him to rigid cross-ezamination.
-Four witnesses were on the stand this
morning.
j. r. Watson, steward, told Of giving
each passenger a lfe-preserver.
Frank @. FrSer, purssr, came to the
hSAt far CsptsiA Asbarts. He said IN
The Tacoma times. [volume] (Tacoma, Wash.) 1903-1949, 1904-01-20

The testimony of these two men is i'm
portant in that it goes to show that eIher
there was lax discipline and mismanage-
ment in the engine room or that either
one of the men is trying to shift the re.
sponsibility of the accident from its real
source to some other. Parker's testimony
is favorable to Chief Engineer De Launay,
who, he stoutly maintains, told Captain
Roberts four times the vessel was taking
water, and asked to have the course
changed.
1t was also brought out in the testimony
that two fremen deserted their posts at a
critical time and went on deck.
Chief Engineer De Launay, on re-exam-
nation. maintained that the broken dead
light was the source through which the
water came into the engine room. This
statement was corroborated by Parker,
who said that two of the headlights were
out of order and could not be closed. They
were both in the engine room about 10
inches above the water line, and every
time the vessel would roll or a sea strike
her the water poured into the engine
room. That is the reason Captain Roberts
was asked to bring the boat about.
Much more testimony was given during
the day that simply corroborated that
given on the previous day.
One Of the most important witnesses ex-
amined was e. w. Heath of Tacoma,
builder OF the Clallam. He gave in detail
the material used in the construction OF
the different parts of the boat, and swore
that it was the best tina money could buy
and he workmanship was first-class IN
every respect.
Captain f. G. Warner, manager of the
Puget Sound Dry Dock company, took
the stand to say good word for Mr..
Heath. He said:
II was familiar with the construction
of the Clallam from the time her keel
was laid until she went into commission.
/ considered her remarkably strong craft.
She represented the most workmanlike D
have ever seen on the Sound. As for

DEATH OF POPULAR
STREET CAR CONDUCTOR

Death early this morning claimed Harry
Il. Davis OF 935 Commerce street, the
second oldest conductor in the service OF
thine Tacoma Railway e. Power company.
For l3 years, the length Of his residence
in this city, he collected fares and made
friends with both his employers and pass
engers.
Mr. Davis was a conductor on the South
Tacoma line. One Of the boys around the
barn this morning, in speaking of his de-
parted friend, said that the South Tacoma
people often waited to ride on his car
because OF his good nature and efforts TO
please the patrons Of the line.
-.oout nine days ago he was taken with
light attack of typhoid fever, and indi
cations were favorable for his speedy re-
covery. but at 3 o'clock this morning he
was seized with hemorrhage Of the bow
els and death soon resulted.
Mr.. Davis was member Of the Elks
and Of the Independent Order Of Forest
ers. In the latter organization he carried
an insurance policy Of 50. 900 in favor Of his
wife. He leaves to mourn dis death, be-
sides his many friends, wife and a
daughter years of age.
The funeral will probably be held FRI
day from HoslSa's chapel and the Elks
will be in charge. The interment will
be in Tacoma cemetery.

EASTERN MONEY
INVESTED HERE

E. A. Shores of Ashland, Wis, has pur-
chased the entire plant and business of
the West Coast Lumber company. When
the company was organized last July Mr..
Shores purchased a quarter interest for
$l2,5OO and took an option on the balance
of the stock. The option expired yesterday
and Mr.. Shores decided to take the plant.
The mill was formerly known as the Carl
son mill.
Mr.. Shores represents the E. A. Shores
Lumber company of Ashland, Wis. This
company has been one of the heaviest
operators IN that section, and now thai
the pine is about all gone there, they were
forced to look for new location.
Although the mill purchased is small
one, having a capacity of only 10000
feet of lumber and 100000 shingles per day,
there are several advantages in the loca-
tion which appealed to these practical lum-
bermen. 1t is close to the city, is on the
railroad and has wharf large enough to
accommodate several vessels at one time.
The plans of the Shores Lumber COM
pany in regard to the new venture are
not completed, but information is given
that the mill will be kept in operation and
some improvements made Immediately.
Taking into consideration the magnitude
of the company's operations in Wisconsin
and the capital which it represents, it is
not improbable that a modern lumber
manufacturing plant of large capacity will
occupy the site of the present mill be-
fore long.
In coming to Washington the Shores
Lumber company is only following the
course pursued by other Wisconsin and
Machigan lumbermen. The big Port
Blakeley mill is in the hands of Michigan
lumbermen and as the Michigan pine for
ests are exhausted others are looking to-
ward the Puget Sound country.
be verified. is to the effect that the Cartier
Lumber company of Ludington Mich, a
corporation heavily capitalized, is desirous
of securing holdings in this region.

CLEARING HOUSE MEN
KNOCK DOWN THE PINS

Members of the Tacoma Clearing House
association dropped business cares and
held forth at the Union club last night,
the occasion being the annual banquet.
The members first disposed of the ban
Quet, and then participated in bowling
contest, in which the pins were knocked
down most artistically. The first prize
went to G. H. Hyde, the second was won
by W. G. Hellar, and John S. Baker cap
tured the third.
The banquet room was beautifully deco
rated with a profusion of flowers and
palms, scarlet, pink and white carnations
predominating.
The following officers of the clearing
house were elected yesterday: A. G..
Prichard, president; w. e. Bliven, vice
president; L. j. Pentecost, secretary;
A. f. Albertson, S. NJ Jackson, A. q.
