TO ARREST CAPTAIN
FOR MANSLAUGHTER
Application For Warrants For Those
Responsible for Clallam Disaster.
DAMAGING EVIDENCE GIVEN
Seaman Griffith, Last Man to Leave
Wreck Alive, Testified That No
Efforts Were Made to Res
cue the Victims.

Victoria, B. c., Jan. 16,--Applica-
tion was made Friday at the coroner's
Inquiry into the Clallam disaster for
warrants for the arrest of Capt. Rob-
erts and others who are held respon-
sible for the wreck on charge of
manslaughter. Counsel representing
the dominion government Friday said
that sufficient evidence had been Sc
cured to show criminal negligence,
and he would apply to the provincial
government on behalf of the dominion
government seeking the arrest of the
captain and others held to be respon-
sible.
The tug Albion Friday recovered
two more bodies of victims of the dis,
aster. They were those of Harvey
Sears, stevedore, and r. Campbell,
passenger.
Seaman Gives Damaging Evidence.
Evidence was given Friday by Rich
ard Griffith, one of the crew of the
Clallam, that one of the seamen took
the ensign from its box and was haul
ing it to half mast upside down when
Capt. Roberts ordered him to take it
down and put it up right side up, as
if nothing was the matter. About that
time a steamer, which witness took
to be collier, passed about three
miles away.
Capt. Roberts saw that he was
wrong, and about ten minutes later
allowed the sailor to put up the flag in
a reversed position.
No Efforts to Rescue Victims.
Griffith gave a clear statement Of
the happenings in connection with the
disaster. He said that Capt. Roberts
was much excited when the boats were
launched. Griffith said he had no hope
that the boats would live, and advised
people not to get in them. He said
no steps were taken to rescue those
in the water after the first boat had
capsized, although they were along
side the steamer. There were no rock

BEAT ADMIRAL TO DEATH.

London, Oct. 27.-The Express cor
respondent at Toxic, in mail letter
dated September 10, says;
1T has transpired that the loss Of the
transport Hita Chinese Mani and the
damage done to the transport Sado Maru
by the Nladivostok squadron was owing
to information given to the enemy by a
japanese admiral on the general staff
here. kilograms were dispatched to Fu
San and thence communicated to the
Russians by wireless telegraphy, which
enabled the Russian fleet TO locate the
transports soon after they left Moi.
For this reason the admiral was
found guilty of treachery, and his death
sentence was read TO him by his init
mate friend and comrade. The staff as
sembled and entered the room, which had
been cleared of all furniture. The traitor
was made to take off his uniform and-he
was then beaten 10 death by his com
rades. The price he received from the
Russians for his treachery was 100000"
