Year-ReSolutiOnS in Favor
of Elastic Currency,
WANT A MONEY

PORTLAND, Ore, Jan. 15.-The seventh
annual convention of the National Live
Stock Association adjourned to-day to meet
in Denver next year. Many questions have
been considered, among them being: Grazing
on public lands, the relation of railroads to
the live stock industry and the establish
ment Of Independent packing houses.
Several resolutions prepared by the exc
cutive committee were adopted. One pro-
tested against the operation of the lien land
law and recommended an Investigation of
the bill on the scrip method now before
Congress. Another commended the action
OF President Roosevelt in appointing a
commission TO investigate the public land
question. also the transfer of control of
these lands from the Department of the In
terror to that of Agriculture A third reso-
luton recommended that the entire SUBJ
ject of reserves be given into the hands of
the secretary of the Department of Agri-
culture.
A resolution also was passed advocating
an elastic currency. President Springer ex-
planned that the object was TO get a cur
rency Of such elasticity that the stockmen
won't have II per cent. money and the Wall
street gambler have 4 per cent. money.
The following officers were elected: Frank
j. Hagenbarth, of Utah, president; H. A.
Jastry, OF California, first vice president;
f. NJ. Stewart. of South Dakota, second
vice president; George L. Goulding, OF Colo

CAPTAIN OF CLALLAM
LACKING IN JUDGMENT
Would Not Allow Distress Signals
to Be Floated, and Did Not Try
to Rescue Drowning.
TESTIMONY OF A SAILOR.

VICTORIA. b. g. Jan. 15.-Evidence was
given to-day by Richard Griffith, one of the
crew of the steamer Clallam, that one Of
the seamen was hauling the ensign TO half
mast upside down. when Captain Roberts
ordered il down and raised right side up as
if nothing was the matter. About that time
a steamer, which witness took to be a col
lier. passed about three miles away. Cap
tain Roberts saw that he was wrong, and
about ten minutes later allowed the sailor
TO put up the flag in a reversed position.
Griffith said he had no hope that the boats
would live, and advised people hot to go in
them. He said no steps were taken to res
cue those in the water after the first boat
had capsized, although they were alongside
the steamer There were no rockets or other
signals on board, 50 far as he knew. The
rudder was known not to be in good con-
ditiOn, and the steamer would not steer
well.
Griffith said he had thought of cutting
the line when the tug HOlyOke was towing,
as the steamer was laundering, but did not
because he had been ordered not TO do so.
and he understood that the captain could
shOOot anyone not Obey1ng orders at such
a time
Grifhth was the last living man aboard.
When the water came up TO him as he
the masthead and from there watched all
the men on the side OF the vessel washed
off. He saw the whole starboard side
break away and then he plunged into the
sea. He was picked UP from a floating
pilothouse by the Holyoke. The passen-
gers and crew, he testified, had all asked
the captain and mate to put them on the
HOlyOke when the tug arrived.

stated that he didn't mind a difference of
one-half a pound at all.
With the preliminaries settled the party
repaired to a nearby stable, where gloves
were provided and a temporary ring was
rlgged up. One thing that Lacey insisted
upon was a "clicker watch" interpreted to
mean a stop watch. This was provided and
the entertainment began. The first round
lasted seven minutes by the 'clicker." Ii
ended with nobody TO the good and both
men so badly winded that they could scarce
ly stand upon their feet. They were eucour-
aged to persevere. and were famed and
thwacked on the backs until their breath
returned. when the second round began. The
fight was pronounced by one who saw il as
the funniest thing that ever happened. The
brand of pugilism that was handed out by
both men was OF such a nature as TO give
an orthodox pugilist the nightmare for seven
weeks. Those at the ringside laughed until
their sides ached. At the end of the fifth
round the ight between the l50-pound anna
teur and the R4-pOund agriculturist was de-
clared "A draw and the fun stopped.

Want Bill introduced to Abolish
System of Compulsory Testi-
mony of Editors.
4 DEMAND A FREE PRESS

BERLIN, Jan. 15.-In the Reichstag to-
day the National Liberals interpellated
Count Won Buelow. the imperial chancellor,
as to why he had not yet introduced a bill
abolishing the system Of compulsory testi-
mony of editors and publishers Of newspa-
pers for the purpose of ascertaining the
authorship of discriminating articles.
Herr Jaenicke, National Liberal, ex-
planned the Interpolation. Few questions,
he said, had been longer before the Reichs-
tag. This matter of abolishing the pro-
cedure by which editors and publishers
were compelled to testify was first dis
cussed thirty years ago. He pointed out
that this compulsory process necessarily
lowered the moral tone of the newspapers
and gave editors a second rate standing in
the community.
Herr Jaenicke referred to the curious fact
that in Germany it was not yet regarded as
dignifed to write for newspapers, notwith-
standing the remark of Emperor William
concerning the editors of the United States
in which he said that they equaled my
commanding generals"
The speaker compared the higher tone of
the English press with the tone of the press
of m and explained that the former
was due to the fact that England had been
longer under a constitutional government
II that he ElSllS PLCSS
Gent traditions, including complete free
ION. IF Germany had a similar constitu-
tional system" said he, 1.-The discussion OF
to-day would be unnecessary"
Herr Jaenicke referred to the case of Ed
itor Hildebrandt, of the Weekly Hilfe, VINO
refused to divulge the name of a writer
and was sentenced TO eight weeks impris-
onment and TO pay a fine of 100 marks. He
also referred to the case of the Leipsic
Volks Zeitung, in which the judges exam
ined an old woman who carried the paper
TO subscribers, and also the ~compositors and
an apprentice, in order TO ascertain the
name of the writer of a certain article.
Herr Jaenicke calls on the government to
return to the standpoint of Frederick the
Great. that 1.-The gazettes must not be dis
turbed."
Chancellor Won Buelow being absent, I'm
der Secretary of State Nieberding answered
the Interpolation, the substance of his re-
marks being that the chancellor had al
ready taken the initiative in the matter,
and had instructed the commission engaged
in revising the penal procedure to take the
question under consideration. However, the
under secretary said, the government would
not consent to the absolute abolition of the
compulsory process.
Other speakers of various parties identi-
fed themselves with the purposes of the in
terpellation.
