BOISE, July 24.--The career of Frank
Steunenherg, the murdered Governor of
Idaho, was discussed at some length by
Clarence Darrow this evening in the
course OF his plea in behalf of William
D. Haywood. Justifying the articles
published in the Miners Magazine, the
official organ Of the Western Federation
Of Miners, the Chicago lawyer said that
the action OF Steunenherg in asking for
the United States troops to quell riot
in the Coem' d'Alenes and the establish
ment of martial law in 1900 was un-
iustifiable and had properly stirred up
immense feeling in labor circles against
the governor. Darrow's argument, which
was unfinished tonight, developed into
an appeal for labor as against capital
and denunciation of all opposed to
unions. He held the audience startled
and open mouthed as one after another
of these sentiments poured from his
mouth. His attack upon Orchard was
expected and in this respect he fulfilled
and surpassed the limit of sensation.
Three hours were given TO Orchard and
IT. was only when vituperation, physical
force and words were spent that Darrow
turned upon j. II. Hawley, leading coun-
sci for state and the pinkerton detec-
tives for something on which to pour a
lesser volume of abuse, The state of
Idaho came in for large part of Dar-
rows denunciation for the part that it
has played in the prosecution Culture,
education and wealth each in turn were
described as constituting combination
against which workingmen, uneducated
and poor must ever be opposed, Darow
sneered at the universities as purveyors
OF culture. "And what is cultured
manf" he cried 'But cruel tyrant al
ways" Reaching the climax Of his
enunciation oil his sympathy for the
working class and the hatred for rich,
he assailed the constitution OF the coun.
try and cried;
Constitution! Constitution It Is.

Columbia to Blame.

The general concensus Of opinion

Almost every passenger, In fact, every
one of the 10 or dozen which the
writer interviewed, II they had any opin-
ion at all, expressed II as against the
Columbia. Mr.. ]. Grant Kline, Of Sanger
Cal, was most emphatic in this. He
goes 50 far as to say that the Columbia

Columbia BY her whistle signals gave

Ile Is however, thus quoted at length,

not to question at all where the blame

Saved the San Pedro.

When the Elder reached the San Pedro
much suffering was discovered. Men
and women gathered around the smoke
stack and huddled together in their wet
an scanty n.iment in an effort to keep
life In their chilled bodies,
On discovery of this and fearing the
sinking of the vessel, the Elder took oil
hands Off the San Pedro and they were
transferred to the Elder.
The captain Of the Elder then at.
tempt to tow the San Pedro but every
hawser attached to her snapped. Cap
tain Jensen Of the Elder then concluded
to abandon the attempt when First Off
eet Mckay spoke up.
Captain" he said, III you will give
me three men win get that boat to
port.s
mo! mol You are too good q man
for me to lose. I will not take the
chance, need you.'
Mr.. Mckay finally prevailed on Cap
tain Jensen to let him have the three
men and going aboard the San Pedro he
utilized the anchor chain and soon had
both vessels fast and the San Pedro was
towed to Eureka In 10 hours.
A nice question Of salvage will no
doubt come up for settlement in this
matter.

Attached to the morning train from
Portland yesterday was the private cal
of President Hill of the Great Northern
Railroad Company. The occupants of the
car were President Louis w. Hill, who
now reigns in his fathers stead, Genera
Manager Mutt of the western division o1

lumbia River Railroad, Francis b
Clarke. director of the Great Northern Of
st. Paul, Minn., and several other rail.
road men, The party was making trip
through to Seaside and Fort Stevens and
spelt but very short time in Astoria,
While here, however, President Hill was
good enough to talk with an Astorian
reporter with regard to possibilities and
probabilities in this neighborhood, and
his own views of the local situation.
In the meantime the presidents car was
attached to special engine in waiting
and eventually proceeded ahead Of the
regular train,
President Hill was most approachable
from reporters point Of view anu had
numbers of questions to ask. Whereas
the reported was full of questions, the
president seemed SO anxious to find out
details OF Astoria's history and situa-
tion and the business down here, that it
was difficult to persuade him that he was
expected to answer questions not to ask
them. Mr., Hill however was ready enough
to answer direct question when it was
put, SO far as in him hay. He said that
this was his first visit here but assured
" it would not be his last.
In reply to a question as to what
prospects he could hold out for ware
houses, wharves, and terminals here,
Mr.. Hill said that his company had had
control of this line for so short time
that the matter had hardly received con-
sideration On being pressed as to
whether it would receive consideration
in the future Mr.. Hill said that it un-
doubtedly would.
why said Mr.. Hill, 'tyou have the
situation here unquestionably."
Portland he continued, sis doing
very well up there, but it can never beat
you out down here"
1t was suggested to Mr.. Hill that
ocean rates were a sine qua now to As
toria to which he aceeded. The short
haul to the ocean as compared with the
long and expensive pull up the river was
touched upon, Mr., Hill aequieseed in
the fact that this was undoubtedly a
grave feature.
'Mr. Hill, what hopes can you hold

out to us OF warehouses and elevators,
and the grain trade coming herel' was
next asked. The answer was given with
out hesitation, and was uneqnivocal
This should unquestionably be the
grain shipping port of the Columbia. ?
The suggestion implied was that Astoria
should handle the grain shipments be-
tween the occident and the orient.
In the private car were carried exactly
the same plans and maps as were taken
down by President Elliot on the 22nd
!, Oh June
| Mr., Hill, during his conversation, in
terlarded many questions as to the his
tory of Astoria and the builders of the
city. He was keenly interested in the
Old Hudson's Bay Company's post. and
when this was pointed out to him, he
promptly inquired if there were any of
the old landmarks left. When told that
there were several men in the town who
came here in the sos Mr.. Hill expressed
himself as very much interested and said
that these gentlemen must have
much to tell
That Mr.. Hill is fully eognizant Of
Astoria's history. early and late, is a
point which goes to prove that the town
is of especial interest to the railroad at
the present time. The summing up points
to the fact that Astoria is recognized as
the key to the situation: the gist of
the conversation resolves itself into
this
President Hill is man with a will
ami a mind of his own-this is patent
after two minutes talk with him. And
moreover it is self-evident fact that
what he says goes His impressions of
the locality will be pretty nearly con-
elusive on this visit. And upon them
rests the material fate of this city.
So far as one may be allowed to pre-
dict the railroad company will be let
ting contracts for extensive terminal
yards, sidings and other requisites
within very much shorter space OF time
than is generally believed. And that
this work viii be done in very close
proximity to Astoria is not open 10
doubt.
On the return trip from Seaside the
only stop that was made was at the
Columbia River Packers Association,
where President Hill and Mr. Clarke
made a call upon MIR. Samuel Elmore
MIR. Elmore is an old friend OF President
Hill and of MIR, Francis Clarke.
During Mr.. Hills visit Mr.. Whyte of the
Chamber Of Commerce was asked to sub
init the plans he has been preparing for
seawal at the earliest opportun-
ity. Mr., Whyte was endeavoring to get
them off last night but was doubtful if
he could at such short notice.

PORTLAND, July 2A.--Bearing the
survivors OF the wrecked Columbia the
steamer George W, Elder made fast to
her dock in this city at precisely 0
o'clock this evening Hours before the
big steamer touched at the dock thou.
sands Of people had gathered to welcome
the survivors of the catastrophe and re-
latiyes and friends were there TO prove
by sight and touch the safety Of
their loved ones And there were those
there who were impelled by final hope
that BY some miracle father, wife, son
OF brother might have been overlooked
In the preparation OF the roster Of the

When the blg boat made fast great
cheer arose and by what seemed 10 be

walked a. they left the vessel. They
Swcre seized as fast as they were lceog-
Nized and smothercd with hugs and
kisses and not few tears found refuge
on the shoulders and breasts as lovei
ones were reunited.
There was no organized celebration,
just u spontaneous welcoming Of the
shipwrccked people.
The steamship Geo w Elder, carry.
ing many Of the survivors OF the Ill
fated Columbia, reached the Calender
dock at $3.50 o'clock yesterday morning.
She left Eureka at 1855 Monday and
was of the bar at IL o'clock midnight.
At 4'SO yesterday morning the Astorian
representative, who had been placed at
Hammond to notify this Office uf her
approach. reported her as crossing In.
Considerable interest had been taken
in her arrival and all day Tuesday
crowds haunted the docks waiting for
her The interest was not confined to
Astoria as was evidenced by the pres.
ence here OF representatives Of the
principal newspapers OF the state, ac-
companied by photographers and artists.
Owing to our favored location and
the enterprise shown by the Historian
whose full force was held In readiness
to handle tho matter, the people of
this and nearby sections heard their
first news Of the arrival in Oregon Of
the survivors Of the calamity. And their
stories Of their experiences.
The Astorian was the first paper to
publish this news,
The Elder did not bring all Of the sur
yivors as many will return to San
Francisco from Eureka. Thirty-one ar
rived In San Francisco at l0;30 Mon
day morning, 30 Of them being Of the
crew of the Columbia.
Those who came on the Elder speak
highly Of the fine treatment accorded
them by the members Of the relief
committee Of Eureka, who took pains
taking efforts to make 1t as comfort
able as possible for them.
Many Of the survivors show evidences
OF the strain, they have been under and
oil are glad to be in safe harbor

Darrow's defense of the labor unions
and of the union men was passionate
and his eulogy Of the Western Fedora

on the beauty Of the self-sacrifice found
in the Struggle for humanity when

the bitterest sarcasm, his voice pitched
to its highest note and arms up raised
he heaped abuse upon the selfish rich
and upon the administration Of the
State Of Idaho.

KELLEY FAMILY IS
AGAIN IN COURTS
Wife Is Asking That Husband
Contribute to the Child
ren's Support.
HAVE HAD MANY TROUBLES
SUITS HAVE FREQUENTLY BEEN
FILED BUT IN SEVERAL CASES
THEY HAVE NOT COME TO
TRIAL.

The domestic troubles of John and
Bonnielee Kelley are once more to be
aired in the circuit court, Mrs. Kel-
ley. through her attorney, l.. c. Abb
bolt. has just filed suit against John
Kelley for support of the two minor
children. In the complaint Mrs. kel-
ley states that she and her husband
separated on September 10, and since
then have lived apart. She states that
she has been obliged to support her
self and children since that time. Mrs
Kelley states that her husband owns
securities valued at about $4,000, and
that he is financially able to support
his children. She then asks that he
pay 5000 per year for the support of
these children.
The domestic troubles of the kelleys
have shifted between the city court
the circuit court and the justice Of
peace courts. In addition to minor
troubles, in September. 1906, Mrs. Kel-
| ley filed suit against John for divorce
and alimOny and to restrain him from
drawing out money and securities he
had deposited in local bank. This
suit was set for trial several times and
finally withdrawn. In August, 1906
John filed suit against Bonnielee to
cancel conveyance, for a restraining
order and for an injunction. He
brought this suit because he had pre-
viously decided all his property over
to his wife. This case was finally
compromise, John recovering the title
to the property which he had decided
to Mrs. Kelley.
1t is stated that while the Kelleys
were residents of Hamilton, O., sever
al years ago. Mrs. Kelley brought suit
for divorce, but finally withdrew it. OF
late it was thought by the friends OF
the Kelleys, that they were at last liv-
ing happily together, so the action OF
Mrs. Kelley in suing her husband for
the support of the children, will come
as a surprise. Kelley was formerly
a saloon keeper.

He stood at the ticket window slowly
while q dozen men stood behind him,
driven to madness by the shouting of
the gatemen calling their trains. After
he got about yard and half of bag
unrolled he suddenly stopped and said
to the ticket clerk:
''Is that clock right?"

"'Tain't:' shouted the startled pas

sudden clutch at lean and hun
cry carpetbag. "'Tain't right? Well,
what II the name O. common sense do
We have it stuck up there for. them"
ITO fool people," calmly replied the
clerk. That's what we're here for--to
fool people and misdirect them

Wont do any good. It's the compa-
ny's orders. They pay a man to GO
round every morning to mix and mud
die up all the clocks, so that not one of
them will be right and no two of them
alike
The passenger gasped twice or thrice
but could not say anything. The ticket
clerk went on:
ITS the superintendent idea. He
IS fond of fun, enjoys a joke, and it
does him good to see a man jump about
and hear him jaw when he buys a
ticket and then finds his train has been
gone two hours"
(Which way is this clock wrong?'
the passenger asked in despairing &C
cents-"fast or slow"
Don't know. That's part of the fun
not to let anybody in the building know
anything about the right time. All
know is that it's about ninety minutes
wrong one way or the other"
With a hollow groan the passenger
grabbed his bag and made a rush 70,
the door, upsetting any man who got
in his way. In about two minutes be

took his place at the end of the line
When once more he walked up to the
window he said as he named his sta.

man:

did,
What made you ask questions like
