PIITSBURG, August 27.--Rev. John
H. Morris, pastor of Pentecostal church,
at Mount Washington, suburb, took a
flyer in high finance which cost him
and the members of his congregation
100000. Members of Pastor Norris
flock until yesterday had dreams of
becoming millionaires. Now they won
der whether they are going to get any
of their money back.
The true state of affairs became
known when Mrs. William Waters, who
had invested $4,000 in DIR. Norris en-
terprise, started suit to recvoer her
money. DR.. Norris promoted a mining
company and had the offices of his con-
cern in the basement of his church.
With 100000, obtained from the sale
of stock, he bought 1000 acres of Ohio
land containing coal and fire clay. A
development company was formed to
exploit the land, but that venture did
not succeed and the pastor formed a
firebrick concern. This was no more
successful and the pastor then bought
a silver mine, This scheme went to
the way Of the others and finally re-
eeiver was appointed.

SAN FRANCISCO August 27.--After
tossing for weeks over miles and miles
loi waters the shattered name plate OF
the Inflated Columbia has been picked
up on the ocean shore by the wife Of an
old sailor who cruised in the wrecked
vessel when she was one of a proud
feet on the Atlantic coast. Strange coin.
cidence that this board with its gilded
letters should finally float ashore near
San Francisco whence the doomed yes
sci went out to carry scores of men,
women and children to watery graves.
Stranger still, that it should be recov-
cred by the helpmeet of one who knew
the old vessel in the long ago and that
it should find resting place after its
uncertain voyage in the home of one
who knew it when it's lettering was
bright and when it was securely nailed
in its proper position on the pilot house.
II was Mrs. Al Gibson who recovered
the broken name plate of the Colum-
bia. Mr.. and Mrs. Gibson live at Edge
mar on the ocean shore near Mussel
Rock.
The sea rolls to the beach OF Edgemar
the floatsam and jetsam of many wrecks
and in the home of Gibson are many
trophies of the Pacific, mute witnesses
to disasters that have brought sorrow
to homes all over California. On last
Thursday as Mrs. Gibson was walking
along the shingle near her home, she
found a shattered board half buried in
the sand and led by some impulse, turn
ed it over 1t was painted black and
bore the gilded letters, NJ B A. Mrs,
Gibson guessed at once that it came
from the Columbia and bore it home
knowing that it would interest her hus-
band who was once of the Columbia IS
crew when the vessel piled on the At
lantic coast.
"Yes, l remember the board WE'LL"
said Gibson to his wife when she showed
the board, "it is the nameplate of the
old boat, and comes from the side of
the pilot house. Brave Captain Doran
stood on the bridge beside this board as
his ship went down."
Gibson was a member of the crew of
the Columbia in 1885 when the steamer
was on the Atlantic Coast. He left the
vessel after many voyages when she was
sent around the Horn to join the o. r.
& N. fleet in this port.
The Gibsons have other melancholy
souvenirs of the wrecked Columbia.
Life preservers bearing the name of the
wrecked vessel that must have foated
passengers before the waves claimed
them as victims and tossed the empty
belts down the coast, copper cans of
hard tack and many other articles that
came from the swamped lifeboats.
But they treasure most the nameplate
of the vessel that some curious fate
bore from the stormy Mendocina coast
and the wreck, to the calm beach at
Edgemar.

SAN FRANCISCO, Aust 27.A-During
the Glass trial today there occurred an.
other clash between Heney and Delmas.
ieney was examining John W. Gilky.
son, assistant TO the general manager OF
the telephone company. Gilkyson showed
no excess willingness to answer and took
long periods to frame his replies.
Heney, finally exaspeMted, beloved
the question at the witness winding II
up with sarcastic query as to whether
the witness understood.
Attorney Delmas protested that the
witness ought not be "buIlyragged."
"And l submit shouted Heney, chat
he ought to be bullyNgged il this is
hullyragging. II is perfectly evident,
your honor that he is trying to evade
the questions. He is getting just the
sort OF treatment hat he needs"
Judge Lawler told Heney to control
his manner in addressing the witness and
i: the responses were not Forthcoming
promptly to submit the fact to the court
and that the court would deal with 1t.
DR.. Boxton was recalled and reiterated
his previous testimony that w. j. Burns,
detective, commanded him to deny be.
fore the public that he made a confes.
sion. Under Heney's questions Boxton
admitted that Burns "did not tell me to
throw the newspapers Off the scent. 1t
is considered perfectly legitimate to de-
ceive newspapers, possibly to extent OF
false OATH" was DR.. Boxton's answer.

PORTLAND, August 27,--Three hu.
man bodies in Il big vat was the grew
some find made by William Earl and
Verna Mcintyre, two small boys,
while bathing IN the Willamette River
on the east shore of Ross Island yester.
day afternoon. The lads were badly
frightened and reported their discovery
to Police Captain Moore. Captain Moore
Immediately dispatched Harbormaster
Speier and Detective John Price with
the two boys to the scene to make an
investigation. When they reached the
place where the boys said the bodies
were to be found, they beheld two hu-
man skulls half submerged in the vat.
The harbormaster and detective made
a careful survey of the camp and then
conducted u more minute investigation
of the vat in which they found parts of
three human skeletons, from which the
flesh had been partially cooked. 1t was
seen that the place was the rendezvous
OF medical students, who were cooking
the flesh from the bodies for the purpose
of preserving the skeletons for scientific
purposes. As the flesh was cooked from
the bones, it and the water in which
the bodies were cooked, were dumped
into the Willamette River.
Further investigation revealed the fact
that the plant belonged to j. L. Jones,
a medical student, and DR.. d. o. Thorn
ton, of the Good Samaritan Hospital, and
that their headquarters while cleaning
skeletons was in o nearby houseboot.
Under bed in the houseboat was found
a large box, of human bones.

A Cautious Official.

It is well to be cautious, but there
are times when even caution may
be carried to excess. The widow Of
a German officer went to the pen
sion Office for the purpose Of draw
ing the pension due her. She pre-
sented the usual certificate Of the
mayor of the village in which she
lived, to the effect that she was still
alive.
"This certificate is not right" !"
said the official in charge severely.
"What is the matter with it," in
quired the poor widow.
'It bears the date of Dec. 21,''
was the stern reply, "and your pen
sion was due on Dec. 15."
"What kind of a certificate do you
wish?" inquired the disappointed
applicant.
"We must have a certificate stat
ing that you were alive on the 18th
of December" said the official, with
great frmness. "Of what possible
use is this one that says you were
alive OH the 21st of December, six
DAYS later?"
