ALL WERE HEROES
Says Admiral Brownson In Speaking Of
Sailors OF Battleship Georgia.

Washington. July 1.-THE presi-
dent has asked Acting Secretary New
berry for the name OF the man aboard
the battleship Georgia at the time OF
the accident in the after-turret last
Monday, who is supposed to have
distinguished himself as a hero by
closing the shutter In the ammunition
hoist and thus preventing the gas
from the powder reaching the lower
turret and causing more serious
explosition. He has been informed
that the department has not been ad-
vised OF any such incident, and that
the shutter In the ammunition hoist
works automatically.
ut would be impossible to single
out one man as a hero in this in
stance" said Rear Admiral Brownson,
chief Of the bureau of navigation, to-
day in discussing the matter. Every
man in the turret was hero"

CHOSE SECLUDED SPOT

Portland, Ore, July 17.-Some 70 OF
/ 100 Japanese were seen last Sunday
in remote location about two miles
south ot Currinsyille, a flag station on
the Estacada branch Of the Oregon
Water company's line, about 35 miles
from Portland, executing with consid.
cradle ability skirmish drill. The
maneuvers were conducted under com.

]. j. Helmes, a barber, employed in
this city, with his wife, was spending
the day last Sunday near Currinsville
and happened to wander some dis.
tance from the railroad into the
woods. Attracted by the sound OF
gruff orders and occasional rife shots
they ventured further on until coming
to an opening In the timber they saw
between 70 and 100 Japanese training
under arms. Mr.. and Mrs. Helms
were not noticed by the japanese and
their drill was not interrupted. Some
had rifles and others sticks which they
used as rifles,
1t is thought that the Japanese are
employed near there getting out logs
or making ties. However, those who
live here, where they heard there
were nearly a hundred OF them. were
surprised TO learn that there were that
many japanese in that section. The
place chosen for the practice is near
the Clackamas river, far from any
and a location little likely

Japanese were seen about the middle
OF the afternoon.

HardsheUs IN Close Race Dozen on
Surprise Islands.

The Norwegian bark Arthur, which for three
years has been carrying general cargoe to and
from score of ports south of the equator
dropped anchor off Stapeton yesterday after a
voyage of 130 days from Auckland. OF course
she had a little rough weathe: in patches, but
unless he is stripped of his canvas and drifts
for weeks bottomside up the average deep
water skipper considers the voyage as unevent-
ful: 50 Captain Evensen decided yesterday that
there was no weather yarn worth spinning.
After filling his pipe twice and remarking that
Robbins Reef light looked about the same. the
skipper unfolded a race story that would nave

prise Islands for mine"
When he wasn't carrying wheat from Aus
tralia TO Cape Town. Captain Eversen took the
Arthur TO the Surprise Islands and laid over for
fortnight. while the twenty-seven Irish
hanakas, who constitute the entire population
Of the largest Of the group. loaded the bark up
with guano. The skipper grew tired of the
monotony of the life on the main island and in
vited George Flannery, real Irishman, who.
with Angus Tulloch, a Scotchman We're not
classed among the Irsh-Kanaka populace, TO
join him on trip OF exploration TO the small
islands to the northward
After rowing for six hours the trio landed on
an island a half mile long, a sixth of a mile
When hurricane hits that section Of the sea, it
is said the island has no dimensions Captain
Evensen said his chart showed no rocks in the
vicinity of the Surprise group. but he what
he thought a ledge mile long. He ordered
his companions row cautiously and when
within few yards of the supposed ledge, the
skipper found it was an army of huge turtles,
Swim away? Not a bit of it," he declared
They poked their heads out and blinked at us
but never moved. We had to row around them

large turtles. not of them under six feet in
length.
"Flannery mounted the largest turtle of the
mounted and I followed suit. We used
rocks for whips. and in three hours we only
made fifteen yards. Flannery who was in the
lead, said the race must end in ten minutes and
the man in the lead at the end of that time
would be declared the winner Within four
minutes the three of US We're abreast. Flannery
was confident of winning. SO was Tulloch. but
he continually pounded his turtle in the nose
and kept his head under the shell when
called time Tuloch jabbed his steed a terrific
blow on the shell. and out shot the turtles head
Tulloch won by a neck"
Captain Evensen said a veritable cloud OF sea-
birds hovered overhead and watched the race
from start to finish. When il was oyer five Of
them flew on the shoulders Of Tulloch Tho
skipper Youches for the tale and as proof of its
veracity produced a handful Of tail feathers
which one Of the birds pucked from its mate
and handed to Tulloch when the race was over.
