SEATTLE, Jan. 29.-At the in
vestigation before Inspectors Whit
ney and Turner into the Valencia
disaster today, it was developed
that Captain Johnson believed his
boat off Umatilla reef when she
struck. Second Mate Peterson,
who gave this testimony, stated that
this reckoning was arrived at be
cause the Valencia was in the habit
of overruning her log by about 6
per cent. After p. m. on the day of
the disaster, Peterson testified that
the water continually shoaled and
for that reason the course was
changed to one more westerly. Pet
terson asserted that there was no
panic on board, but he believed that
If the passengers had not interfered
with the lowering of the boats, that
more people would have been saved.
Witness Campbell asserted that the
life preservers were too heavy. He
said that the one he had on weighed
between fifty and seventy-fve
pounds after it was wet. The other
testimony offered brought out no ad-
ditional facts. The hearing will be
continued tomorrow.

HELD FOR TRIAL.
Justice Taggard Holds j. o. Sullivan
in $500 Bonds.

The preliminary trial of J. o. Sui
livan, charged with horse stealing,
was held Monday afternoon before
Justice Taggard. The evidence
which was brought before the court
by Prosecuting Attorney Krutz was
so strong that the justice bound Sui
livan over to the superior court in the
sum of $500. Sullivan has been in
trouble before on the same kind of
charge, but was allowed to go be-
cause it was found impossible to Sc
cure sufficient evidence to ensure a
conviction. He had only been at lib
erty for a few days, however, when
he stole another horse, this time
from an Indian at Toppenish. The
Indian recovered his property, and
did not wish to prosecute the case,
but as the sheriff and prosecuting at
torney found that they could obtain
sufficient evidence,it was determined
to force the case through, and if it
should be possible to put Sullivan
where he could remain for a short
time without any danger of tempta-
ton.

In the Interests of a Y. NJ. c. A.

At St. Michaels Episcopal church
on Sunday evening the Rev. Maurice
j. Bywater made some very practical
remarks about the need for a Young
Mems Christian Association rooms.
The rector was very emphatic
about the carelessness of parents
about their children until it was too
late. One could easily understand
that the minister was heart and soul
with the young people, and whilst
he urged upon the parents untiring
vigilance and ever-careful watchful-
ness over their children during their
youth, he blamed them for their
carelessness in allowing them to run
around the streets when they should
be under the parental wing. The
fathers of boys were to a large ex-
tent responsible for the moral condi-
ton of their sons, as the mothers are
naturally expected to see that their
daughters are properly looked after
and do not gain hard name in the
community before they come to years
of discretion. If a girl loses her
reputation as a girl, it will cling to
her during her womanhood and will
be handicap to her for a great part
of her lifetime. If the young men of
the community had the advantages
of an association supplied with the
necessary rooms for recreation,
amusement and comfort, their moral,
physical and mental condition would
be improved by healthier and more
manly environment; they would be-
come more suitable companions for
our girls and better equipped for the
positions which they occupy in the
city. Lewis T. Price, young
