FIFTEEN GREEKS DROWNED
Unfortunate Men Were Scared and
Overturned Boat in Preacher
Gus Pit River.

Redding, Cal, March 11.-Fifteen men
lost their lives in the treacherous Pit
river this afternoon. The men were all
Greeks employed in the construction
crews of the Sacramento Valley &
Eastern railroad, building from the De
Lamar copper smelter to the new sta
ton of Bonita on the Southern Pacific,
three miles above Kennel. Nineteen
men besides the Greeks. an Indian by
the name of George Wesley. and the
foreman of the crew, Charles O'Neiil,
started to cross the river on the new
ferrybOat of the company.
When the boat had reached the mid
die of the stream the Greeks, for some
reason unknown, punched upon one end
of the tWenty-fouT-foot boat. This
caused the boat to rise on end and the
men were thrown back. Then they
piled up in a bunch at the other end.
One was washed overheard during the
proceeding. and the sight of the man
in the river frightened the others until
they were panic-stricken. They ran to
the side of the boat, some jumping
upon the ratings. the whole chattering
wildly and gesticulating. Finally the
boat was overbalanced and every man
slid off into the water. The ferryman
and the foreman grabbed the boat and
stayed with it. They were saved. Two
other men had presence OF mind enough
TO swim and gained the nearest shore,
but fifteen of the Greeks completely
lost their heads and went down.

PRISON FOR LAND SHARKS
United States District Court of Ore
gon Upheld by Circuit Court
of Appeals.

San Francisco. March 11.-Judges Gil
bert. Ross and Hunt of the United
States circuit court of appeals have
upheld the United States district court
of Oregon in the cases of ex-Congress-
man Williamson. Marion r. Biggs and
Van Gesner. convicted of land frauds.
The contention made in taking an ap-
peal was that il was no crime to violate
a rule made by the land department.
The court conceded that had a mere
rule been violated no criminal offense
would have been committed, but that
the present case was not one merely
involving the violation OF rule, but a
crime prescribed by the statutes
against conspiracy and perjury.
The evidence, the court says. showed
that the real intention of all the parties
concerned was the obtaining of titles to
government lands by means of perjury
for the benefit of the conspirators.

Senior Corea, the Nicaraguan minis
ter. called upon Assistant Secretary of
state Bacon today to discuss Central
American affairs. He stated positive
ly that there had been no friction be-

Mr.. Corea showed the following dis
patch from the Nicaraguan consul at

says he accompanied Minister Merry on
his railroad trip from Managus to Co
rinto in the presidential car, offered by
President Zelaya. Until he sailed. Mr..
Merry was the object of full attention
from Nicaraguan authorities. The

calumny circulated by enemies of

there had been five indictments against
him in Portland. three for conspiracy

and convicted on one of the conspiracy
charges. but had not been sentenced. He
