Into San Francisco Harbor.

San Francisco, Jan. 1.-The Pacific
Coast Steamship company's steamer

sistance if needed
The propeller shaft Of the City OF
PUebIa was broken during a severe
storm off the mouth Of the Columbia
river but by using her sails she sue
ceeded In keeping her head to the sea
until aid arrived. Including passen-
gers, officers and crew, there were
about 200 persons on board, and for
several days uncertainty regarding
their fate has caused great anxiety.
Fortunately the weather moderated
and the steamer reached this harbor
practically intact. The claims for sal
wage. however. it is estimated, will ap-
prOximate $4,000.
The amount Of salvage probably will
be the largest ever claimed on this
coast. Already preparations are being
made to facilitate the handling Of the
claims that will be presented. An an
nouncement was made today that the
consignees Of cargo must furnish an
indemnity bond to cover their proper
ton of the salvage claims.
The City of Puebla left Seattle on
Dec. 20 with 186 passengers and a
heavy cargo for this city and on the
following day was discovered in dis
tress by the steamer Charles Nelson
off the Columbia river bar. The Mel
son made several Intellectual attempts
to tow the Puebla, but had to aban-
don the task on account Of the heavy
seas and being in danger herself from
the hurstinE Of q boiler tube.

bare majority vote is all that will be
necessary to put SmoOt out of the SEN
ate. BY the Bailey method two
thirds majority will be necessary. II
seems likely Burrows will win in this
parliamentary contest.
It is not incOnceivable that should
the Bailey contention win SmOOt would
hold his seat, because then it would
require a two-thirds vote TO expeI him.
1t is known that several senators from
states in the far west do not intend to
vote against SmoOt.
Thirty-eight bound volumes, cOmpris-
ing a thousand petitions, in the Reed
Smoot case will be filed with the secre-
tary Of the senate as soon as the COM
mittee submits its report. The petitions
were bound in New York. The names
of more than 1000 600 women have been
affixed, pleading with the senate to
take stand for the purity OF homes.

of Charles A. and A. Maxcy Hitler and
Of Mrs. Edwards, wife of the victim
Of the tragedy, According to the state

siderable value.

man who was shot to death In mys-
terious manner Tuesday night while
al the nome OF Charles A. Hitler, an
otner orother-in-law, here, was locked
up at police headquarters tonight for
a short time by order of Coroner Mix.
1t was later explained by this Off
cfal that he wanted to have Mr.. Hitler
handy on the resumption Of the in
quest later in the evening, and that
Mr.. Hitler was simply held as a wit
ness. This action was taken at the
end of a sitting Of the coroners in

Ike the MoIIie Magulres.

Like the Motlle MagulTeS'
c. B. Steunenberg today said he was
Convinced Orchard had been picked for
1.-THE purpose of assassinating the gov
ernor in the manner that prevailed
| among the MOllie Maguires. That plan
J was to call up a number of men and
have them draw cards; one Of them
drew a card commissioning him to COM
nit the murder and setting a time
limit. The others drawing did not
know who got the card In these cases
a time limit was always set. 1t APP
pears that Orchard inquired several
times when Governor Steunenberg
would be home. and once said he was
anxious TO see him before Saturday
night
The. suspect arrested at Nampa still
refuses to give a name. and threatens
TO prosecute for illegal arrest.
Lawyer Hired in Advance.
The feature of the day was the news
that the law firm OF Robertson, Rosen-
haup & Miller of Spokane would defend
Harry Orchard, alias Thomas Hogan,
accused of the murder. The circum-
stances under which the firm sent no.
LITIGATION made It sensational. Orchard
had stated in court that lawyers would
hasten to aid him so soon as they
should learn of his being in trouble. He
# they did not come. He did not send
notification to them but last night they
sent him word that one Of the firm
would be on hand Friday.
Conspiracy Existed.
That firm has long represented what
IS designated as the dynamite element
of the COeur d'Alenes, and the circum-
stances narrated convince the public
that a conspiracy existed and that
Orchard had been promised that law
yers would be sent him if he should
set into trouble.
There have been no developments in
the case today. Captain Swain, in
charge of the case, is convinced there
was e conspiracy and is working on
that theory. He claims to have a clear
case against Orchard. The latter lived
I'm the Occur d'Alenes in 1899 and was a
member of the Burke union at the time
Of the riots.

Inquest Not Ended.

At midnight the inquest was ad-
journed until morning. Maxcy Hill
er left the cOroner's office and en-
tered a hack and was driven to his
home. Two detectives were in the
same carriage which drove by the way
Of police headquarters, where uni
formed officer was obtained as a
guard Coroner Mix said that he would
say nothing about the inquest. Maxcy
Hitler. he said. was not under surveil-
lance and there was absolutely no
charge against him.
At the close of the inquest tonight
there seemed to be more mystery at
tached to the casse than at any pre-
vious time It IS understood that no dt-
rect evidence bearing upon the actual
shooting has been produced.

Spread Like Wildfire.

The news of the coroners action
spread like Wildfire and the general
supposition was reached that Mr. Hill
er had been placed under arrest For
this reason Coroner Mix made the
definite announcement that Maxcy
Killers detention was simply tempo
rary. At 9 o'clock the inquest was re-
sumed and among the witnesses called
were Mrs. Maxcy Hitler, Charles Hitler
and MaXey Hitler
1t is understood that the examinatio
of witnesses did not develop any sDe-
cial features. The questioning was
mostly as to family affairs of the Hill
ers and it is understood that admis-
siOns were made that the disagree
ments between Maxcy Hitler and his
sister, Mrs. Edwards, were very bitter,
and that the alleged enmity Of the
former extended TO Mr.. Edwards 1t is
understood that the coroner in the
course of his all-day inquiry has found
that Mr.. Edwards had often told his
friends that. Maxcy Hitler had made
threats against him.

Result of the Autopsy.

Medical Examiner Bartlett, who was
in charge of the autopsy, has prepared
his report It is stated that the report
will show that Mr. Edwards was killed
by. bullet. OF .22-caliber. which pene-
trated his BRAIN The weapon used
must have been held very close to the
head. The point whether the pistol was
held by Mr.. Edwards or by another
person has not been made clear but
It is understood that an opinion had
been expressed that such a wound
might have been self-inflicted, but in
this instance it was unlikely. The
coroner has not yet found the weapon
used in the shooting in spite of the
rigid search made for it, even to over
hauling the old Hitler homestead by
plumbers and carpenters.
