COLUMBIA SINKS
WITH PASSENGERS
Reports Say One Hundred Went Down
With Vessel.
BANNED by Steamer San Pedro o'
Shelter Cove, CsIifornis-Col''s-
ion Came at Midnight "''"ou'
wsrning-vssseI Sank Five Min

San Francisco, July 22.-ln o COLL
sion between the passenger steamer Co
lumbja and the steam schooner San
Pedro off the Mendocino coast 100 pas
sengers last their lives Saturday night.
The Columbia was sunk and lies
completely submerged in the deep
waters Of Shelter cove.
Captain Doran, master OF the Column
bia, stayed with his vessel, and is
among those lost.
The collision occurred at midnight,
when all on board save the lookout and
officers on the bridge were asleep In
their berths. The Columbia was steam
ing north at an easy rate, having LETT
here at noon Saturday.
Suddenly out of the fog doomed the
dark hulk OF the steam schooner San
Pedro, south bound, which was evident
ly out OF her course. Whistles were
blown and frantic efforts made by the
helmsman of each vessel to avert the
collision, but they were of no avail.
The San Pedro struck the steamer on
the port bow, tearing an immense hole
in her side, through which the water
rushed in great volume. Alarms were
sounded throughout the passenger ship,
and the terrified passengers scrambled
from their staterooms In an effort to es-
cape from the doomed vessel, but the
time was too short to aid the life savers.
The vessel sank within five minutes
of the time Ct the collision. A life raft
was launched with a number of pas
sengera on board.

presenting the drst Of the arguments to

courtroom was occupied and rema ined

None listened more nttentjvely to the
argument than Haywood, the defend
ant, and none showed less emotion
From time 10 time he took copious
notes In small book and frequently
made suggestions to ono Or other Of his
counsel, seven Of whom were In court
today.
Throughout the day Mr.. Hawley used
an alznost conversational tone. The

Of Orchards story concluded frequently
with the denunciation OF witness after

bad spoken Eve and half hour, Mr..

Judgment from honest men Of Idaho.
Mr. Hnwley said he did not charge

LAWYERS HAVE INNING.


Boise. Idaho, July ia day OF ar
eminent on the admissihility Of points
Of evidence followed the announcement
from the defense that they had no FUR
thor witnesses to offer in behalf OF Will
liam D. Haywood. The jury was not
brought into court, Judge Wood having
been informed by counsel OF their de-
c;sion to rest without offer OF sur
Tahuttal. Clarence Darrow spoke for
an hour and a half of the morning ses-
sion. Senator Borah replied in the
afternoon and was followed by E. r.
Richardson. Judge Wood will prob
ablv announce bis decision today.
The point argued was the proposition
to exclude from consideration by the
iury the evidence offered by the de-
tense to show, by proof Of deportation
~ MINERS from and the employment
Of detectives in the Cripple Creek dis
trict Of Colorado, that conspiracy was
formsd among the mine owners and the
citizens of the district to prevent the
employrnents of members OF the West
ern Federation of Miners The posi-
ton taken by the Haywood defense was
that Harry Orchard WAS employed by
the Mineowners' association through
detectives to commit crimes which were
then charged to the Federation, and
public opinion aroused against the un-
ion workers, and it therefore followed
that. If Colorado evidence for the state
was admitted, the defense had the
right to show a counter-conspiracy.
The reply OF the state WAS that the de-
Tense had failed legally to connect it's
case in these particulars and therefore
it's evidence merely confused that issue.
In the absence Of the jury the argu-
ment gave counsel an opportunity to
take a wide range in commenting on
the methods employed on both sides.
Mr.. barrow was impassioned and vitu-
perative. He bitterly assailed Orchard
and the Pinkertons.
Mr.. Borah confined himself largely
to the legality Of the question OF admis-
sibility. He spoke for an hour, force
fully reviewing the evidence and alle-
cations made by the defense, which,
he said, failed to show by the mber
of the alleged conspiracy between the
mine owners and the Pinkertons that
any such conspiracy existed.

Eureka Aa1., jury z3s--ATrivai yes
teSday Of the steamer George W Elder
with the battered steam schooner San
Pedro In tow, brought the first news of
= marine disaster which will rank
among the worst Of the Pacific coast.
The San Pedro drove full speed into
the stem Of the steamer Columbia,
hound from San Francisco To Portland,
tsaring great cash In her side, and
causing her 10 sink within eight min
utes near Shelter cove about 1890
o'clock Sunday morning
The ffst reports justified the belief
that at least half of the $50 persons on
beard the Columbia had persisted, but
hourly the total Ehxinke. The best nd
vices now are that LIT escaped death
when the vessel went to the bottom.
One hundred and seven Of tho Column
bias passengers and 81 OF her crew
have been brought to this port by the
steamer Geo. w. Elder, which towed
the collidine schooner San Pedro from
the scene Of the disaster to Eureka. A
late message from Shelter cove says
that three more lifeboats have been
picked up, one Of them containing is
persons, another is and the third not
reported.
Two hours after the wreck the fog
lifted and cold wind commenced to
blow. The people In the boats suffered
much.
q. Swanson, saiIor OF the San Ped
70, WAS ut the wheel Saturday night
whea the fatal collision occurred. In
his report TO the sailors agent, John
Erickson, the blame Is laid upon the
shoulders OF the Columbia's officers
Other members OF the crew OF the San
Pedro substantiate the story Of Swan
son. He says that the order WAS given
to him when the lookout sighted the
Columbia to put the wheel hard aport.
Three points apoIt carried the San
Pedro seward apparently out Of the
way OF the approaching vessel, whose
name at that time was not known.
Short toots from the whistles OF both
vessels warned the shippers. The Co
lumbia was on the ccast side, the San
Pedro ON the sea side. Apparently
both vessels we're proceeding at full
speed. II all had gone we'll, the San
Pedro would HAYS cleared the Column
bia, but 1t is evident that an order,
"put the wheel hard a-starboard, was
given on the Columbia. This sent her
directly across the bow OF the eteam
schooner. Whether or not the speed OF
either vessel was slackened Ia imma-
terial, for the crash OF the vessels was
terrific. The Columbia, an iron vessel,
bore the brunt OF the impact, and her
iron plates cracked, and a cash seven
feet across the forward hatch allowed
the water free ingress at great velocity.

HERE TOMORROW NIGHT

Saturday night theatergoes of this
city will be offered the musical SEN
sation of the day, the Irish-American
comedy, "The Sunny Side of Broad
way" over which New York and
Boston critics have grown enthusiasts
tic and written in the most eulogistic
manner. 1t did rot seem possible
at the beginning of the career of
"The Sunny Side of Broadway"
when it was first produced, that any
new organization could come into
the field and at ohce assume the
lead, and be unanimously called the
best musical performance of the sea-
son. Yet such thing has actually
come to pass, and today 'The Sunny
Side of Broadway" and Murray and
Mack in the principal roles, are
placed by the press and public of
every city so far visited, liz the proud
and exalted position, and without sin
gle exception, the claims advanced
by their admirers are found to be
true and well founded.
The company numbers in all for
ty people, of this number being a
chorus of handsome, talented and
shapely singing girls.
The production is complete in
every detail. Massive scenic sets, and
panoramic and light effects are car
ried for the entire production, which
ensures performance beyond the
ordinary MINSTREL show.
