TIBURON ISLAND TOLD
 OF BY TUCSON MAN

In connection with the prolonged absence and silence of Thomas Grin dell, who left Douglas more than three months ago with a party to explore Tiburon island, the following from the Tucson Star will be of interest in this city:
 For many years there have been repeated stories, reports and rumors of many different bIes concerning the Tiburon Island and the Seri Indians who inhabit the same This island is situated in the Gulf Of California, about 200 miles south of Tucson.
 Several parties who claimed to have visited this island have been lost, nothing being heard from them since they made their reported voy- age thereto. While there is no defi- nite information as to what became of them. it has been rumored that they were killed and devoured by the so- called cannibalistic Indian natives of the island. There are those who have been on the island, who have talked with these Indians. who declare they are as harmless as the Papagoes or MaricOpa Indians; that they are hos pitable and far from being cannibals. These visitors scout the idea that the missing explorers having been killed by the Indians, or that they were mo- tested by the natives at all.
 Tt must be remembered that all parties who have been reported lost travelled to the island via the Calo- rado, thence down the gulf. or may have returned by that route. If so, there is a very reasonable solution of their being lost. This by and through the high tide which enters and re- cedes from the mouth of the Colorado river every twenty-four hours.
 There is not more dangerous place on the Pacific coast than there. The tide comes in more than thirty feet high, with laundering smash, with the speed and mad rush of a tornado or cyclone on land. and re- cedes with like velocity Nothing can escape it when il appears in sight No seaman dares to attempt it, or risks his life in th2J portion of the gulf or the Colorado when the tide is rising or going out. There is no yes sci which can withstand it.
 Hence. if these parties, or any of them, attempted to make this trip up or down the gulf at the rising or re ceding of the tide at this point, which is some miles long. they could not es- cape. They were doomed. 4 more certain death. more rapid destruc- ton was in store for them than they could have met at the hands of any Indians or cannibals.
 The one thing to be investigated is, did these parties, or any of them, voyage to the island or therefrom via this dangerous shore of the Gulf of California? If they did, were they seen after they attempted to make that trip down or up the dangerous gulf trap of and below the Colorado river If they attempted this passage this will probably solve the mystery of their loss. Examine this fact be- fore laying the blame at the door of what may prove to be an innocent and harmless tribe of Indians.
 Let those who propose to invest gate this mysterious disappearance oi lost parties begin with this dangerous bore of the Gulf of California, and the solution may be found. which will be of very much value to others, who will learn to avoid the Colorado and Gulf death trap"

cannot conceive how under the circum-
stances either the pride of Russia or
the ambitions of Japan could be per
mitted to become stumbling block IN
the way of peace which both nations so
ardently desire and which all the worl-
so strongly demands.
If it were not for the phenomenal rec
ord of President Roosevelt in accom-
plishing seemingly impossible tasks the
ENJOYS, their assistants and their inti-
mate friends would be plunged into the
depths of despair. They, of course, may
be playing a game, each envoy seeking
to deceive the other, but in their words,
manners and gestures they clearly in
dictate they see but one way out OF the
dif6culty-that which has been indicated
to Toxic and St. Petersburg through
Baron Kaneko, of Japan, and Baron
Rosen. of Russia, by the President OF
the United States.
1t must be admitted, after unceasing
efforts to fathom the sentiments of the
commissioners of both nations, that Ba-
ron Komura and Mr.. Takahira are, if
anything, a trihe more optimistic than
arc NJ. Witte and Baron Rosen. This is
probably due to the fact that President
Roosevelt's advice, if the effects should
be fully reaped in treaty, will make
Japan the gamer and Russia the net
loser in the settlement of the more Wig
orously disputed points.

PRESIDENT MAY PREVENT FAILURE.
Would Have Support Of Emperor William and
French Government

Portsmouth, N. H. Especially The
peace conference adjourned Friday I'M
til Tuesday, ostensibly to give time for
the preparation of protocol setting
forth the terms of the agreement and
disagreement
According to the Russians, the ex-
changes are at an end and there will be
no peace.
But nobody seems to know definitely
what Tuesday has in store. In the tour
days that will elapse before the Rus
sian and japanese ENJOYS reassembIe
they will communicate with their re-
soective governments, and there will be
plenty of time to receive responses.
There can be little doubt that it was
to afford this opportunity for consul
tation with St. Petersburg and TOXIC
that the plenipotentiaries agreed to such
a long recess.
From the very first the belief has been
prevalent here that President Roosevelt,
TO whose initiative the present exchanges
are due, would not stand idly by II he
were confronted BY the knowledge that
the plenipotentiaries were to adjourn
without having accomplished the mo-
mentous task which brought them to
America. 1t is the Understandings
that prevails. namely, that the confer
ence will be barren of results IT some
thing bring about contrary condi-
tion is not done in the meantime.

meats.

Washington, D. c. Especially. The
forest service of the Department of Ag-
riculture has taken UP the study of woods
for special uses, and experiments will
be conducted particularly to secure a
wood for street pavement which will
prove lasting.
In recent years engineers have be-
come convinced that with the right Sc
lection and treatment of material, and
with the right method of laying, wood
paving can be made successful. Conse-
auently revival in wood paving has
begun, and many of the largest cities
are again trying it.
Wood pavement is now made almost
exclusively of one or two of the best
construction woods, and if it should be-
come popular the drain upon these
woods would be seriously increased. The
forest service will direct its experiments
to determine if there are not among
the various cheaper and more abundant
species some which by proper treatment
can be substituted for the more valua-
Bile kinds now in use.

BRITAIN AND GERMANY CLASH.
Relations Said to Be at the Breaking
Point.

Berlin (By Cable). - According to
several high officials Of the Govern
rent, Prince Won Buelow, the Imperial
Chancellor. who left Norderney, where
he was spending his vacation, for Der
lin, went to the castle of Wilhelm
;hoehe to see Emperor William. Dr.
Won Muehlberg, under secretary OF the
foreign office, who left Berlin for
vacation of several weeks, was sudden
Iy recalled to join the Chancellor at
Wilhelmshoehe.
The reason for these movements is so
far only the subject of conf ecture, but
It is known that the relations between
Great Britain and Germany have re-
Gently been on the point OF breaking
to- an extent beyond the knowledge OF
the public.
Precisely what happened has not been
learned. but a serious situation existed
indeed, it is understood, it has not yet
been dissipated. The British Govern
nent appears to hold the conviction that
he German Emperor is seeking to form
European combination against Great
Britain.

INVESTIGATING RAILROADS.
The Interstate Commission Is thnS
Busy.

Washington, D. c. (Special) 1.-The
interstate Commerce Commission, on its
own initiative and as result OF COM
plants against private car lines, unex-
pectedly began an investigation OF the
relations between railroads and refrig-
orator lines, by which it is charged that
the act to regulate interstate commerce
is being violated in several specific par
ticuars. The complain. set forth by
the commission is directed against the
Armour car line, the American Refrig-
orator Transportation Company the
Santa Fe Refrigerator Dispatch, and the
following railroads: ST. Louis and San
Francisco; Atchison, Topeka and Santa
Fe; St. Louis, Iron Mountain and
Southern; Central of Georgia; Southern;
Atlantic Coast Line; Seaboard Air Line;
Pennsylvania; Southern Pacific, and
Kansas City Southern.
The railroads and refrigerator lines
are made respondents in proceedings
which require that specific answer to all
allegations be made to the Interstate
Commerce Commission by September S.
1t is charged that by way of rebates
or other devices the refrigerator lines are
acting for the railroads as authorized
agents, and the railroads, acting through
the refrigerator lines, are collecting and
receiving for the refrigeration of fruit
and vegetables lower rates from some
shippers than they are contemporaneously
receiving for similar service rendered
to other shippers. This is held to be
in violation of sections and 3 OF the
act to regulate interstate commerce.
Another charge is that failure and neg
ect to publish at shipping stations and
file with the Interstate Commerce Com
mission the rates and charges imposed
for the refrigeration of fruits and vege-
tables constitute a violation of section
6 of the Interstate Commerce Act The
commission alleges further that the
charges published jointly by the refrlg-
orator lines and the railroads for the re-
frigeration of fruits in certain specified
territories are unreasonable and unjust
and in violation of section I. The ter
ritories described are Missouri, Arkan-
sas, Indian Territory, Texas, California
to eastern points, Louisiana and Kan
sas, and Georgia, South Carolina and
North Carolina to New York.
The matter has been made the subject
of investigation by congressional COM
mittees and several laws have been passed
giving increased powers to the COM
mission in an effort to reach alleged
combinations said to be prohibitive with
shippers leasing by the year large num-
bers of private cars.

Norfolk, Va. Especially Owing tc
the inability Of Engineer D. L. Reig to
control his airbrakes, an excursion train
from Kinston, N. c., bound to this city,
plunged through an open draw over the
Western Branch of the Elizabeth River,
eight miles from Norfolk, and half
hundred persons, mostly negroes, were
drowned.
The list of injured, so far as can be
ascertained, numbers nearly 100, though
most of these are slightly hurt
Among the victims the only white ones
were Edward Joliffe, manager of the ex:,
cursion, and Edward Forbes, who. as
sisted him, both of Greenville, N. {.
The Merritt Wrecking Organization
dispatched an expedition to the scene
for the purpose of raising the sunken
cars, which lie in about rs feet OF wa
ter. Until the cars are raised an ac-
curate estimate of the number of dead
is impracticable.
The forward coach crushed on the
pling of the draw and was splintered to
kindling. Those of the helpless pas
sengers in this coach who were not
killed before reaching the water were
drowned. Those in the rear escaped,
bruised and cut by glass and SpllnterS'
The car next behind this one was broken
in two on the trestle. Three other cars
kept to the track. Their occupants es-
capped
The train was made up at Kinston, n.
c., and had picked UP passengers Oft Tor
a holiday at every crossing 1t wa'
due at Norfolk at I o'clock, and was
running fast to make up for lost time.
There was no warning until tke fatal
crash.
In the door of one of the cars was
the corpse of a negro man struck down
by timber.
There was not sign of the grea, To-
connective lying submerged in mud and
water in the middle of the channel.
Many boats were ferrying the injured
to the eastern side of the river, where
the relief train, with every doctor in
Portsmouth who could be reached, was
waiting. The baggage car was turned
into d temporary hospital, while the busy
doctors worked to relieve the injured.
Ernest Wolston, OF Greenville, one OF
the survivors, was in the car that went
overheard. He says he felt a shock,
and the next moment the water was up
. to his feet. A mad scramble follow
ed Men and women, shrieking and
fighting to get to the doors, blocked the
aisles and cambered over the seats,
smashing windows and ventilators N
their efforts to escape. Wolston anc
his brother were imprisoned when the
car was smashed, and crowded through
window, through which they rescued
many women and little children.
Too much praise cannot be accorded
the colored boatmen who went to the
rescue of the drowning passengers and
saved many lives. The superintendent
of the Coast Line rushed aid to the
