DENIAL Of
BOYCOTT 7.
Kennedy Replies
The Olympia
Canard.

j. A. Kennedy, manager of the Inter
Island Steam Navigation Company, said
yesterday that the statement that the
coal cargo of the S. S. Olympia had
been boycotted was untrue. He said
that about March 8 he received a ca
blegram from Seattle asking him to
make a tender on Seattle coal to come
here on the Olympia. On March 4. Mr.
Kennedy cabled back offering $4.75 per
ton for Roslyn coal. On March 5, ne
received another cable saying his figure
was too low About that time also
some japanese as well as Mr.. Fisher
called on him to ask for figures on a
shipload of coal from Seattle.
Mr. Kennedy finally withdrew his
figure, as he was then figuring On 5000
tons of Newcastle. and would have all
the coal he wanted. The Newcastle
coal sold then for $3.50 a ton in San
Francisco.
On March Is. Mr.. Kennedy received
a cablegram from the same people ask
ing if he would make an offer of So
a ton for their coal. He replied that
he would not. All this time Mr. Ken
nedy had in mind Roslyn coal. The
people cabling him, evidently ignored
his first cablegram in which he men
toned Roslyn, and were cabling all the
time about Black Diamond coal. the
grade brought here in the Olympia.
The Roslyn grade of coal was sell
ling ait San Francisco then for 81 ton
while the coal they sent here was sell
ling in San Francisco for 1926 ton,"
said Mr.. Kennedy. cit was not Roslyn
but Black Diamond they brought For
ten days they had canvassers here Of
fering the coal at So a ton and failed.
Notwithstanding this they brought the
coal along, looking for a customer.
The Olympia coal has no Jumps in
it, it being entirely of a fine grain. a
large proportion of which is lost
through our CRATE bars which are not
fitted for burning fine coal. I was pre-
pared to buy this coal for a fair figure,
and went to the auction expecting to
buy it, but was met with a statement
that they would not take less than S.
a ton. 1t was not worth So ton, and
that is the reason 1 did not bid on it
The statement that the coal was boy
cotted is unfounded and untrue"

HIS COMMISSION REVOKED.
Oregon Attorney Refused to Appear
Before Land Board.

SALEM, Ore, June 23.-The remov-
notary public is the first action of the
kind that mas ever been taken in Or
egon. Judge Chamberlain has revoked
Turner's license, giving as reason
therefor the evidence that developed
in the land fraud investigations in the
county. A notice of the cancellation
of his commission was sent to Turner
and a copy thereof to Secretary of
State Dunbar, who keeps the records
of notary commossions.
Notaries public are appointed by the
governor, upon the recommendation of
two citizens who certify to their good
character. They must take an oath OF
office, give a bond in the sum of $500,
and pay a commission fee of $3.50.
When the federal land fraud inves-
legations were before the courts, Gov
ernor Chamberlain examined the re-
cords to ascertain whether any of the
accused persons held notary commits
sions. He found that they did not.
Since the Marion county grand jury
sent to the state land board report
that a large number of state land ap-
plications made before Turner as no
tary public were fraudulent, Governor
Chamberlain investigated the matter
to some extent. When there was
controversy a few days ago over some
of the certificates of sale issued on
those applications, Governor Cnamber-
lain asked Turner to come before the
hoard and tell what he knew about
them Upon the advice of his attor-
ney, Turner declined. The governor
then revoked the notary commission.

REV, n. c. CLEVELAND TAKES
UMBRAGE AT AN ATTOR-

Minister Was Witness in the Martin
Case and Attorney Peterson
Attacked Him.

PENDLETON, June 23.-Rev. H. C.
Cleveland, pastor of the Congregational
church of Milton, who was one of the
murder trial, yesterday at noon took
umbrage at a statement made by At
torney w. N. Peterson, while the latter
was pleading in behalf of his client,
and when court adjourned at the noon
hour the reverend gentleman sought
the barrister and proceeded, it is un-
derstood, to give vent to his feelings
in very decided manner. According
to witnesses, Rev. Cleveland rushed
towards Attorney Peterson and re-
marked: Either take that back or
you'll take something worse"
At this juncture District Attorney
Phelps informed the pastor that such
department was quite improper in the
court room and advised him to with
draw. While the attorneys were pass
ing out of the door, the pastor is said
to have again made threats upon Pet
erson, intimating that he would "see

termined to Punish Reereant

arranged with Justice Davy of Roches-
ter to continue the June term of the

the entire world were affected by the
Equitable trouble, he felt it imperative
to make a full investigation. The mo-
ton was granted.
Attorney General Mayer began pre-
parations today to bring suits against
the officers of the Equitable for the
recovery of profits alleged to have
been wrongfully acquired by reason Of
their position. 1t is understood the
inquiries of Mayer will not be con-
fined to Hyde but the new Ryan
regime will be asked to explain it's fu-
.ture business policy.

would reach a verdict very soon.
The jurymen who are trying the case
are finding the position anything but a
nicnic. All last night they remained in
the stuffy little room with no place to
rest but on II hard bottomed chairs.
The only recreation they get is when
they are piloted to and from a res
taurant.
At o'clock the jury came into the
court room and through it's foreman,
Charles S. Buffum, informed the Judge
that there were a number of the jury
men who were hanging out for a ver-
dict of guilty and there was no possi-
bility of reaching verdict. The fore
man asked for further instructions as
to what the jury should do. Judge
Brents ordered them to return to the
jury room and endeavor to reach some
agreement as soon as possible.

ing. The cell was then all on fire. The
fire department promptly responded,
but a hose coupling refused to work
and caused delay, otherwise the un-
fortunate man could have been saved.
When the cell door was broken open
dense smoke and steam drove the
marshal back. Finally Ed O'Connor
and Mike Dunn got in and found the
dead body, but were forced back them
selves, nearly suffocated.
Body Wrapped in Bed Clothes,
When the flames and smoke were re-
duced Harrigan's body was found
wrapped in mis- bed clothes and the cot
on top of him in one corner Of the cell.
His hands were burned.
Harrigan had acted strangely, under
the influence Of drink, when arrested
about three weeks ago, and was then
examined by the county physician, who
thought him slightly deranged. In the
jail he showed a suicidal mania, and
was carefully watched and everything
taken from him of dangerous nature.
He had pulled down the heating stove
and showed it under his coat ana had
also pulled down electric light wires
and fastened them around mis- neck and
tried to hang himself. The sheriff then
removed him to another CELL which,
like the entire structure, is of wood,
and it was here he ended his life.
