BIG DRYD0CK IN PERIL
OFFICERS OF DEWEY FLEET TELL
A NARROWING STORY.
Feats in Wireless Telegraphy and Coal
ing Results from Trip in Face
of Great Odds.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, June IL
The gunboat Tacoma and the seagoing
tug Potomac, two vessels which assisted
in towing the steel drydock Dewey in the
voyage to Manila, arrived at League
Island navy yard Sunday. Throughout
the day the officers were busy recounting
the perils Of the trip. Both vessels left
the Dewey after the Suez canal had been
trayersed.
Besides establishing something unique
IN towing, the government made Il re-
uafkaDle discovery in wireless telegra-
phy. January y the Dewey and tiotilla
became lost to the government. For two
weeks nothing had been heard of the
dewey. Admiral Evans, in command of
the fleet IN the West Indies, received or
ders from the secretary OF the navy to
send out a warship.
FEBRUARY the cruiser Maryland,
equipped with a wireless instrument,
AFTER search of several days, got in
communication with the Glacier flagship
or the h0tlila, by way of the wireless sta
tlon at cape Hatteras. Telegraphic com
munlcauon by this method was kept up
with the United States for more than a
gay, messages travelling from the Gla-
Ger 10 cape Hatteras, through Mary
la4u' Il distance of more than 1000 miles
Inc entire distance Travelled by the
tdcolId ana Potomac amounted to more
than I2,OO0 miles. The dock became so
Interchangeable that the fotilla was COM
PEELED to go several thousand miles out
of the course.
The first three times the Dewey broke
loose IN mid-Atlantic and the fourth
time, April 8. was adrift until noon the
following day. In the Mediterranean
the dock broke loose again but was
placed III tow after few hours, the
Potomac always picking it up.
The latter part of January, the Off
GERS Of the Potomac say, they came the
closest to death. A heavy squat struck
the fleet. The Dewey was carried to-
wards the Potomac, which was in dan
ger of being sent TO the bottom Off
GERS and crew. in the face of great dan
ger, displayed courage and saved the
tug from destruction by cutting the tow
line with an axe and steaming quickly
away.
Another interesting and new feature
of the trip was the coaling of the fotilla
from the cruiser Glacier. Huge rope
Tenders weighing 1000 pounds were used
to prevent the vessels from humping to-
gether when coaling

Pittsburg against Bankers Friend and
Hoffstatt of that city, is not as sensa-

her early life. She said she first met
Banker Friend in 1901, and that she
told him of her deposit of 100000
worth of securities with Ira Reynolds
of Cleveland. 1t was arranged that
Eriend was to act as her trustee and
dispose of the securities. He loaned her
at divers times money amounting. in
all. to $2S1.000 but he took her notes
for S7S4. 900 The securities deposited

GEARIN FOR BOURNE.
Oregon Senator Says Democratic Legis-

Successor as People Desire.

WASHINGTON, D. c.. June IL
Senator John NJ. Gearin, Democrat of
Oregon, has sent message to the peo-
pie of his state, insisting upon the cleo
ton of Jonathan Bourne, Republican,
as United States senator to succeed him
He said:
1 have already congratulated Mr.. Bourne
upon his election, and l wish to reaffirm
what ! said i'll the campaign-that the
meaning of the direct primary is clearly
that whoever received the popular ma jority
or plurality in the June election Is entitled
ture next January. Bot Republican and
Democratic members owe it to the people
to ratify their choice already expressed
believe in the government by the people !;
that they know what they want in policy
and official, and that we should uphold the
and accurately register their wishes an(
commands as to every function of govern
mental activity and every individual who
fills official position.
| advocated the direct election Of federal
senator's and supported the direct primary
nomination law. The Legislature of Ore
gon must, if it proves faithful to its trust
honor the popular vote of the people with
the same CELEBRITY with which presidential
electors hasten to record the wishes of the
people. The people of the commonwealth
have expressed their wishes without euuiyO-
cation; now let the Legislature bow to
their will and do its duty, and let it be de
termined once for all that henceforth the
people Of Oregon are to select their federal
senators by direct vote.
The situation is most peculiar, as the
people have endorsed a Republican for
the Senate but the Legislature is Demo
cratic and can thus elect a Democrat.

husband as unknown. Mrs Kinnan be-
Heved him dead until three weeks ago
