The morning Astorian. [volume] (Astoria, Oregon) 1899-1930, 1907-08-27

SAN FRANCISCO. August 28.-Presi-
dent Scott of the Pacific Telegraph &
Telephone Company. was recalled to the
stand today in the Glass bribery trial.
Scott testified that prior to the disaster
f. A. Pickernell, assistant to the presi-
dent Of the American Bell Telephone Co.,
took no active hand in the conduct of
the Pacific States Company but imme-
diately thereafter set about a formation
of plans for rebuilding the wrecked
plant.
The purpose Of this testimony on the
part of the prosecution was to ambush
any prospective attempt of defense to
shunt the bribery blame onto Pickernell.
President Scott answered series of
questions designed to clinch in the jury's
mind the asserted fact that Glass was
in complete control of the company dur
ing the alleged bribery period. Scott
said between his election to the presi-
dency of the company and his return
from the east in March, 1906, he signed
no company checks, authorized none, and
gave no authority to Glass or Halsey to
expend any money.
Scott declared he gained from the
grand jury his first knowledge of the
issuance of $4,000 worth of checks on
which funds are claimed to have been
obtained by thinner for Halsey by tie
order of Glass.
The closing hour of the morning ses-
sion was livened by merciless attack
on Scott's creditibihty as a witness. 1t
was succeeded in having the witness con-
tradict himself and his former testimony
several times. In defense of himself
Scott took refuge behind a defective
memory and declared the incorrectness
of official minutes of the executive COM
mittee of the telephone company's board
of directors.

Pacific Mail Steamer Acapulco
Turns Turtle.
PASSENGERS AND CREW SAVED
But Cargo Will be Total Loss-Cause is
Believed to be the Filling of Coal in
Bunkers on one Side of the Ship
Lies in Fifteen Feet of Water.

SAN FRANCISCO, August 26.--The
Pacific Mail Company's steamer Acapul-
co turned turtle today and sank at the
company's wharf in this city. All the
passengers and crew escaped but it is
believed her cargo is total loss as the
hull lies in about l5 feet of water.
The Acapulco was expected to sail for
Panama at | o'clock this afternoon and
was taking on the last of her supplies of
coal when the disaster occurred about
1880. The listing of the vessel as the
coal was being loaded on one side is
supposed to be the cause. She went
down slowly enabling all on board to
Chamber onto the dock.

The Incorporation Of White Salmon.

The town of White Salmon has
passed beyond the country village
stage. 1t is the second town In i'm
portance in Klickitat county and it's
outlook or the future 10 the bright
est of sny town along the new north
bank railroad. The population of
White Salmon has nearly doubled dur
ing the past year and 1t has increased
during the first month of the new
year ut an even faster rate. As our
town increases In importance our re-
sponsibilities increase III like measure
and believe the time is now ripe for
the incorporation Of the town and
that further delay would be danger
GUS to our prospects for the future.
With an organized city government
to preserve law and order and take
measures for the improving and beau.
tifying of the town White Salmon will
coon take her place ss one of the
leading cities Of the Columbia river
valley. An incorporation petition
has been circulated and has been
signed by almost everyone and, al
though there are a'-few knockers hold
ing out, we have no doubt but that il
will carry when put to vote. Enter.
