On Threshold OF Career He Is
on Trial for Defrauding
the Government.
STEuAENBERG WAS INDICTED
Juror in Haywood Trial on Borah Jury,
Whom he Last Saw Upholding United

BOISE. Sept. 2a.--william f. Borah,

ncys for the government disclosed in
open court the fact that former Cover.
nor Steunenbcrg was included in the in
lictment and is alleged to have had a
leading part In the so-called conspiracy.
The announcement came as surprise to
the community at large. Several of the
talcsmen examined today declared they
had never heard IL even intimated that
Steunenberg had in any way been con-
nccted with the land frauds investiga-
tion. Little or no progress was made at
the morning session OF the court, but
during the afternoon the government at
torneys temporarily passed II men into
the jury box. All these are subject to
further examination BY the prosecution
and to complete examination by counsel
Tor the defense.
An odd angle i given TO the case by
fact that one of the men passed into
the jury box today is Thomas b. Cess, a

case Borah served as state prosecutor.

Dominion Coal Company Must Pay Steel
Company for Breach Of Contract.

HALIFAX, N. s., Sept. 2S.-Justice
Longley of the supreme court of Nova
Scotia today awarded the Dominion Iron
4 Steel Company judgment against the
Dominion Coal Company for $l5,000,00O
as damages for breach of contract in
not supplying coal suitable for metal
lurgical purposes, Justice Longley in
concluding lengthy judgment says;
Between November | and the coal
company furnished large quantities of
coal not reasonably free of stone and
shale and incapable of operating an iron
and steel plant, and while they are min
ing plenty of coal fit for such purposes,
they failed to furnish sufficient guam
tity of such coal to meet the require
ments of the contract. The company
has thereby committed a breach of the
contract, and is responsible to the steel
company for all the loss and damages
which resulted from this breach.
'I think the contract is still in opera
tion, and, in my Judgment, the best, in
Geed the only true, remedy in this case
is the issuing of a decree requiring the
company to perform the terms Of the
agreement"

with her cargo viii be total loss.
Three mates, three engineers and th,
steward, who remained on the wreck
were taken Off by the tug Cudahy, which
stood by during the night. Captain
Berg. with force of 30 longshoremen
arrived at the wreck about 0 O'Clock
yesterday morning, but seeing there wa;
no hope of saving the vessel or any part
of her cargo, returned to Hoquiam with
his crew.
The tug Traveller, with Second Mate
Nelson. of the Tellus. Is standing b.
the wreck. Captain Berg believes tn,
Tellus will go to pieces entirely within
a few days. The Tellus carried nearl,
1000 tons OF coal. valued at $4,000. fol
the Independent Coal & Ice Company Of
Portland.
The cargo and the ship were both in
shred. The crew will be paid off and
sent to their homes tomorrow, Captain
Berg will employ legal representative
tomOrro VITO look after the insurance.
Sc is breaking up rapidly and apparently
will not last long.
That the Norwegian steamship Tellus,
which went aground and was wrecked
at the entrance to Grays Harbor Satur-
day, while bound for Nanaimo, B. c.,
for the Columbia River, was from to
10 miles out of her course, is the opin-
ion OF competent marine authorities of
Portland.
A chart of the North Pacific Coast in
the office OF Captain P. J, Werlich, in
spector of the Thirteenth Lighthouse
district, shows that if vessel proceeds
in direct line from the Straits of Ruca
to the mouth of the Columbia River she
will not touch within about eight miles
of Grays Harbor To make a quick pass,
age ships invariably take this course.
Consequently, how the Tellus happened
to reach the fatal spot, where she now
lies wreck, is inexplicable to those ia
miliar with that part of the coast,
Learning that those in charge of the
Lighthouse district had been accused Of
permitting buoys and other aids to navi-
cation going adrift without taking steps
to replace them, Captain Werlich show
ed by correspondence and other records
that nothing had been amiss with the
aids at the entrance to Grays Harbor
since May 81.
