perate. II he fought his way back

cause one of his patched-up ships had
broken down or for some other urgent
reason. If he arrived in the outer
harbor at night he probably did not
want to go into the inner roadstead

made night navigation dangerous or
possibly because one of his ships
stranded at the entrance of the cham

his remaining in the outer roadstead,

for the purpose of thoroughly over
hauling their boilers and cleaning
their hulls preparatory to putting to
sea to meet the Baltic squadron.
The dispatch added that some of
the torpedo boats have been battered
by the storm during the last expedi-
ton to the japanese coast. In con-
clusion the correspondent says that
nothing has been heard of Vice-Ad-
miral Kamimura's squadron.

HOW Hawaii LOST
ITS FOUR DELEGATES

The Washington Posts Chicago cor
respondence says:
Gen. Bingham, of Pennsylvania, with
| martial bearing, had an inning with
the report of the rules committee. The
agreement TO give Hawaii hut two
votes brought Senator Foraker to his
feet with u substitute resolution, and
talk ensued, pro and con, about the
injustice of inviting six good and true
Republicans to travel 5000 miles for
four of their number to be thrown out
of the convention. Gov. Carter, young
and athletic, thrilled the convention by
darting along the platform, uttering a
protest in high but eloquent key. Great
cheering greeted his brief but attrac-
tive appeal Senators and delegates
proceeded to have 1t out at length, and
much was said about the prospects

STUCK VALLEY FARMERS ARE
TIRED OF BEING DROWNED OUT

A committee of farmers from the Stuck
valley country called upon the county com
missioners this morning in relation to the
division of the excess Of water coming
down the White and Stuck rivers. The
division of the water of'-these two rivers
farmers in King and Pierce counties, whose
lands are inundated yearly by the freshets
caused by the rains and melting snow.
The commissioners of both counties have
been appealed to for redress. A meet
ing was held by them, but the King coun-
ty commissioners were not willing to agree
to any suggestions from the Pierce county
commissioners.
A breakwater was put in some time ago,
at cost of several thousand dollars, but
it did not accomplish the results desired,
for log jams would form and the water,
according to the location of the jam, was
sent into one or the other of the streams,
to the detriment of the property lying
along the banks. So the contention has
worn along, until the farmers have grown
so sick at heart at seeking their property
destroyed, and tired of waiting for some
official action in the matter. that they
are now making new proposition.
They will ask the commissioners to ap-
point two men to keep the White river at
the forks clear of log jams, so that the
water will take its natural course, thus
sending a certain down each stream.
That" said one of the committee this

that anyone who denied the divine origin
of that doctrine might as we'll deny other
truths, Attorney Taylor asked as to its
correctness. President Smith said it was
correct.
President Smith stated that this speech
was not delivered to more than dozen
people and if he had been consulted he
would have been against its publication.
because of desire to abstain from giving
any public offense. He reiterated thai
he personally believed in the doctrine of
plural marriages as much today as he ever
had, but did not believe IN continuing the
practice, as he had accepted the proclama
tion against it in good faith. Chairman
Burrows asked him if he believed he had
obeyed the law when he has five wives
and has had eleven children by them since
the date of the manifesto. President
Smith replied:
Il have already said in that respect that
have not obeyed the law, but have pre-
ferred to disobeY it rather than abandon
the children and their mothers. The
church, however, as a church, has obeyed
the law, but l, as an individual, have

INVESTIGATION OF QUEEN DISASTER

SEATTLE, March AT the close Of
the investigation of the disaster which
befelI the steamship Queen, the marine
inspectors indicated very plainly that Cap
tain Cousins and all the ships officers
would probably be exonerated from blame.
The investigation began at 10 o'clock yes
terday morning and continued until late in
the afternoon.
Captain Cousins, in plain and simple de-
tail narrated the circumstances of the
disaster his account varying in ne essen.
tial particular from the report published
in The Times. He fixed the hour of dis
covery of the fire at 4:33 a. M, relating
that the ship was stopped two minutes
later, and that the starboard or lee boats,
filed with women and children and each
having the required complement of men
were lowered at 4:50.
At the time these boats were lowered
Captain Cousins testified, the Queen ap
peared to be doomed. He had consulted
with Captain Hibbard, an able navigator
as to the advisability OF lowering the
boats, and the latter counseled such a
course. The fire under control, all boats

wife to consent or object TO the taking of

Smith, after reading from the revelation,
which said that il wife did not consent

the subject. All the president of the

Smith positively denied that any public
teaching of the principles of polygamy had
taken place since 1890, despite the asser-
tions of the antiMormon press.

DRAWING ROOM WAS
A BOWER OF ROSES

Last night, at the home of Mrs. William
Parker, 3O9 North G street, occurred tht
wedding of Miss Edith Leroy West, daugh
ter of Mr. and Mrs. Pearl Hyson Hebb,
of Tacoma, and Frank Dibble, of San
Francisco. The ceremony was performed
by Rev. Frederick T. Webb, rector OF
St. Luke's church, in the presence of a
few of the friends and relatives of both
families.
The bride was becomingly attired in
a gown of peachblow crepe du chine over
taffeta silk She was attended by Miss
Lillian Jamison of Portland. The grooms-
man was Lester Herrick, of San Fran
cisco
At the conclusion of the ceremony a
wedding supper was served. The sumptu-
Gus repast completed, the bride and groom,
accompanied by few friends, went to the
Northern Pacific depot, where they were
to take the train for San Francisco, their
future home. When the train arrived they
found a surprise awaiting them in the
sleeper drawing room which had been re-
served for their use. Instead of the usual
number of old shoes which are in evidence
on such occasions, the sides and ceiling of
the room were completely covered with
roses.
The bride has lived in Tacoma for a
number of years. She is especially well
known in student circles having attended
Whitworth college one year and Annie
Wright seminary four years. The groom is
well known accountant of San Fran
cisco.

PROFESSIONAL POLITICIANS
CANNOT BECOME MEMBERS

The committee on organization and reso-
htions of the Young Mems Republican
club met last night in the office of C. r.
Peterson, Berlin building, and drafted a
constitution and bylaws. These will be
passed upon by the club Saturday night.
One of the prominent features incorporat-
ed in the constitution of the club is that
no professional politician is eligible to
membership.
The Tacoma times. [volume] (Tacoma, Wash.) 1903-1949, 1904-03-04

An investigation of the registration
books brings to light what looks very
much like an attempt to stuff the lists
for the purpose Of getting in some crooked
work at the coming election. Parties
claiming to have lived here more than two
years have registered under names that
cannot be found in the city directory, and
street numbers are given that do not exist.
A number have registered and given as
their permanet rsidents what has ben
found to be transient boarding house.

are taken:

ago. This closes the case as far as the
courts are concerned, and Dix will be
taken to the penitentiary in few days.
Dix has already served one year in Jail,
and the general belief is that be will not
be in the penitentiary long before being
pardoned. A committee of the banks de-
positors recently made an examination that
goes a long way towards generating the
prisoner, and the judge who sentenced him
has said that he will aid a movement to
secure a pardon.
The Tacoma times. [volume] (Tacoma, Wash.) 1903-1949, 1904-03-04

The organization is creating a great deal
of attention in political circles generally
and it already gives promise of becoming a
strong organization of a permanent char
acter.
The age limit for memberships in the
club was fixed at from 81 to 40 years 1t
is the intention of the club to secure
speakers to lecture on political economy
and other topics of public interest as soon
as the organization is properly effected.

He further stated that they were not
eligible to election to the office of presi-
dent, councillors or any of the general of
fees of the church. Upon acceptance or
rejection of the revelations, the vote of
any woman member of the church was
just as powerful as the vote of the wit
ness himself.
