VESSELS DISREGARD roo.
Desire to Mako Fast Time Cause OF
Many Wrecks.


San Francisco, July 31.--The tes'
timony Of the officers of the steam
schooner San Pedro, before Captain
John Birmingham today, demon,
strated clearly that the habit o'
Coast shippers, said to be practlcaiiy
universal, of running their vessels
|at full speed regardless OF the fog'
was mainly responsible for the wreck
of the Columbia aud Its terrible con-
sequences.
Chief Mate 3. Hendricksen, VINO
was In charge OF the San Pedro at
the time OF the collision, TESTIFIED
that, when he first heard the fog sig
nails OF the Columbia, he did not SLOW
down and that, when the passenger
vessel doomed out OF the fog, It was
too late to do anything but try to
make the collision as slight as pos
slble.
He appears to have acted with dis
patch and good judgment when ne
sighted the Columbia; but at that
time, according to his testimony, the
ships were not more than a boats
length apart, and not much was pos
sible. There was no time to go to
starboard. He therefore blew the
danger signal, four short blasts, or
dered the engines stopped and threw
the helm hard aport. He did not or
der the engines reversed, he ex-
planned. because he hoped to throw
the San Pedro arouad so as to strike
a glancing blow, and In order to do
this 1t was necessary to keep suff-
Client way on her. The San Pedro had
been making about eight knots, and
was probably making five when she
struck the Columbia.

veloped that the reason for haste In

dictment on between 80 and 100
counts OF the f.462 on which the

ADD NEW TRAIN.


Portland, Aug. chairman off.
cials, both in Portland and San Fran
cisco. are seriously considering placing
special mail and express train on the
Portland-San Francisco run. 1t is ex-
pected that decision will be reached
in few days. Railroad officials are
inclined to think the additional service
is assured, althonghgthe train will have
to be officially ordered by General Man
ager Calvin nom the San Francisco
Office.
The proposed new train will be re-
served exclusively for handling mail
and express, and is being considered as
an expedient for relieving existing con-
gested conditions, which, it ia said, are
responsible largely for the unsatisfac-
tory passenger service on this branch
OF the Southern Pacific. This special
Will carry no passengers.
The express business on this line has
increased to an extent that IL is impos-
sible to handle it with the facilities
that are now provided in the passenger
trains and at the same time make
schedule time with these trains. BY
combining both the express and mail
business and handling it with special
train, the railroad officials figure that
It will be possible to operate its passen-
ger trains on schedule time, since it is
the discharging and receiving of ex-
press that invariably delays trains.

MOVER FREE ONCE MORE.


Boise, Idaho, July 31.-After de-
lay of nearly 36 hours, Charles II.
Meyer, president OF the Western Fed
GRAFTON of Miners, was released from
the Ada county jail at late hour
last night on bond of $4,000 signed
by Timothy Regain and Thomas ].
Jones of Boise.
Meyer will leave for Salt Lake to-
night In company with William d.
Haywood, who ON Sunday was &C.
quilted of the murder of ex-Gov-
ernor Steunenberg. After stop of
q few hours In Salt Lake City, they
will proceed to Denver. the head
quarters of the federation.
1t was proposed to file cash bond
in the sum of $4,000, but the
money did not arrive In time, and
rather than allow Meyer to remain
another night In jail. his attorneys
decided, after all, to let a personal
bond suffice.
Steve Adams who was expected to
be an important witness at the trial,
but who was not called by either
side, was taken back to Wallace to
await second trial on the charge
of murder there. His first trial re-
suited In disagreement.
Formal application was made in
the District Court to have George A.
Pettibone admitted to bail. The mo-
ton was submitted without argu-
ment, and was promptly denied by

Domination on Corpora Ions Says II
Uses Worst Of Methods.

Washington, Aug. 5.-Significan
revelations are made public In a re
port submitted to President Roose
welt by Herbert Knox Smith, Com
missioner OF Corporations, concern
Ing the operations Of the STANDARD
OIL Company.
In previous report the ways and
methods OF the Standard were OK.
planned. The present report sets
forth the results Of these methods
and the effect they have had ON the
consumption of oll-and on the profits
LOT the Standard Oil Company. Com
missioner Smith says:
The Standard OH Company Is re-
sponsible for the course OF prices OF
petroleum and its products during
the last rs years. The Standard has
consistently used Its power 10 raise
1.-THE price CT oil during the last ten
years. not only absolutely but also
relatively to the cost OF crude osl.'
The Standard has claimed that 1t
has reduced the price OF oil; that 1t
has been a benefit to the consu mer !:
and that only a great combination
like the Standard could have fur
nished oil at the prices that have
prevailed.
Each one OF these clnImfs'' says
Commissioner Smith, lis disprovcd
by this report.
The increase In annual profits OF
the Standard OIL Company from
1895 to 1904 was over $4,000, 600.
The report says:
the Standard from 1882 to 1905
!.
2a.i5 per cent a year. The dividends
however, we're much less than the
total earnings. II is substantially
certain that the entire net earnings
OF the Standard from 1859 to 10
were at least 790.o00.o00 and pos
sibly much more.
These enormous profits have
been based on an Investment worth
at the thine OF its original acquisition
not more than $4,000, 000."
The report or Commissioners Smith
shows that the Standard Oil Com
pany Ia responsible for petroleum
prices for the past quarter of cen
fury because this company has con-
trolled the industry. The report
shows the price history OF oil pro-
ducts since 1856, or practically since
the beginning OF the industry. This
gives an opportunity to compare the
course OF prices during the earlier
competitive period with the course
OF prices during the later monopolis-
tic period. 1t also shows that prices
would have been lower during this
later period under normal competi-
tive conditions and In the absence OF
any such overshadowing combination
as has actually existed
These prices show directly the eff
feet that the existence OF this com
bination has had upon the consumer
and also the results that have ac-
crued to the combination itself by
way OF profits. Just conclusion can
thus be drawn of the way the Stand
ard OIL has used Its great Industrial
power.

Washington, Aug. s.--There was
much jrbilstion on the part of naval
officers today over the specific and I'M
qualified announcement at Oyster Bay
that the battleshIps OF the Atlantic leet
will be sent to the Pacific. Until this
statement was made by authority OF
President Roosevelt there WAS grow
Ing feeling on the part OF naval officers
that these vessels would not be sent
around Cape Horn.
One Of the most substantial officers
OF tho navy believes that the sending OF
these battleships to tho California coast
will cause so much irritation that war
between the United States and Japan
will be the result. They are already
figuring on promotions, as history has
Shown that advancement in the naval
service IL much more rapid during war
than in peace.
All naval officers are forbidden to

LEGATION, but privately they do not hest
tate TO declare that they believe that as
soon AZ the Atlantic fleet starts on its
long voyage to the Pacific the Japanese
government will send one of it's fleets
to the coast OF California OF to the At
lsntic coast.
They declare that the presence of the
hattleshlps Of Admiral Evans on the
Pacific will cause the people in that
part OF the country to become more
bold In their attacks on the Japanese.
This, they say, will cause irritation,
which they fear will lead to serious
consequences.

Astoria, Ore, Aug. Am enlisted
man, giving his name as Henry j.

in the robbery of a Northern Pacific
train In Montana last May in which
Engineer Glow was killed. Gruber
Is but 20 years Of age and came to
Fort Stevens on July %, from Butte,
Mont, where he had enlisted few
days before.
That Gruber is the mans correct

reason that he gave his fathers name

the ID and A" card when he en-
listed. He was placed under arrest
at 10 O'Clock yesterday morning in
