SHEEKS ENDORSED.

At the regular meeting Of the
Grays Harbor Trades and Labor
Council, held Friday evening, Ben
Sheeks was unanimously endorsed for
the office Of superior Judge. When it
Is considered that this endorsement
was made without solicitation CT the
part Of Attorney Sheeks or the Non
Partisan Judiciary League, It is an
evidence that the Ho1iiIgren Of ABB
erdeen are in heart accord with the
movement to secure an able and un-
trammeled judge on the superior
court bench

EXCEEDING BAD TASTE.

The following emanation from the
Elma Chronicle is a positive disgrace
to a newspaper with any claim to
serious consideration from it's read
ers:
1T is reported, but positive proof is
lacking az this time or the facts
would BE published, that one Of the
candidates in this county, residing
in Aberdeen, has entered into a writ
ten contract, agreeing upon a certain
policy and fayoring certain interests
if elected. The report no doubt is
true and is in line with the filthy,
Shiny political methods Of certain
politicians in Aberdeen"
. For filthy, Shiny" newspaper
methods this item is entitled 70 the
blue ribbon. There are 23 candidates
on the official primary ballot from
Aberdeen-22 Of whom are Republi-
cans. Which does the Chronicle
mean? What policy is to be pur-
sued, and what interests are to be
served? Are they for the benefit Of
the public or otherwise?
A paper that has information Of
such a deal betrays its trust If il fails
TO make it public. To make such a
statement without reliable informa
tion 10 back it up is-the dictionary
fails to supply adequate language

ECLIpSE'S LONG BOAT
WAS NOT U|NSEAWORTHY

pairs. The ribs of the boat were SO
old that they would not hold nails. New
ribs had to be put in her, but without
making her of much use.
The affidavit of Charles Scott, one OF
the crew, was made in Honolulu on
February 25, 1908. He states that he
shipped on the ship Eclipse on October
10, 1907, at Newcastle, Australia, and
the vessel was lost at sea, on January
IL, 1908, about $50 miles north of the
Hawaiian Islands. Upon manning the
boats, the lifeboat slung on top of the
house was found to have her planking
started from the stem in such Il man
ner that the boat was utterly unsea-
worthy and could not be placed in the
water.
Scott goes on TO say that the crew
put to sea in two boats-the long boat
and the captain 3 gig. He states that
about month previous to the abandon
ment of the Eclipse he heard Albert
Hanson and others call the mate g at
tention to the condition of the long
boat and ask to have her repaired
and made seaworthy. The mates re-
ply was: "Thcre would be plenty of
time to fix the boat when she was
needed. -
The master and eight men took to
the long boat, and the mate, carpenter
and five went in the gig. A portion
of the provisions, all of which had been
placed in the long boat, were trans
ferred to the gig. He states that tho
long boat leaked so badly that it took
80 hail In -,
keep her ahoat. The second night af-
ter leaving the ship the gig capsized.
The gigs crew were then transferred
to the long boat which then held six
teen men. Two days afterward it be-
came evident that the planking of the
long boat which was fastened to the
ribs by iron rivets, was spreading from
the frame of the boat. 1t was neces.
sary to put lashings at the third and
fourth thwarts of the boat entirely
around the outside of the pIanking and
dashed inside the boat to the center of
the thwarts, thus preventing the long
boat from falling apart from the weight
of the crew and the stores.
On both sides of the boat the rivets
being drawn, holes were bored below
the gunwale on each side of the knees
and the planking drawn to the knees
and dashed with spunyarn. When the
boat reached the shore at Hama, says
Scott, the boat practically fell apart.
On the evidence thus produced by
Commissioner Almy and his request to
the authorities at Washington that the
case be investigated along these lines,
there may result some question as TO
who o I'd the seaworthiness of the
Eclipse's boats at her last inspection,
and just how he or they arrived at that
conclusion. That the lives of sixteen
men were menaced by apparent neglect
in examining the boats is apparent, es-

There is niger in the marine
woodpile, and United States Shipping
Commissioner III. N. Amy is certain
that the African has shown his head,
because of letter he recently received
from Washington in regard to charges
of members of the crew of the i'll
fated American ship Eclipse which was
abandoned at sea last January, that the
small boat in which the crew finally
landed at Hama, Maui, sixteen days
afterward was unseaworthy. The Wash
| ingtOn authorities stated the charges
had been investigated at San Fran
| cisco and the report from that city was
to the effect that they were not sus-
tanned and the boat was seaworthy.
In response to this letter Commits
sioner Almy is forwarding to Washing
| ton substantiatiOn of the original
charges in the form of affidavits made
here last February by members of the
crew of the Eclipse and by a report
from w. o. Aiken, Deputy Collector of
Customs for Kahului, whose report on
the boat shows that it was in a rotten
condition on arrival at Hama.
On January IL, 1908, the Eclipse was
in sinking condition following ter
rife gale, and at Captain Larsen IS or
ders the crew took to the boats and
started for the Hawaiian Islands. The
vessel was en- route from Newcastle at
the time. The officers and crew left
the sinking vessel in the long boat and
the captain g gig. The gig capsizet
and the seamen in that boat were takeI
into the long boat, thereby crowdinl
it. Only by dint of hard work wa
that boat kept afoat, for the rib
started from the stem and she Leaked
almost like a sieve. Ropes, canvas an'
spun yarn were used to hold the Graf
together. Three men died during thi
terrible trip of sixteen days and whel
he rest arrived at Hama, Maui, man,
were almost physical wrecks from ex
posure and sloshing around in sal
water.
They were brought to Honolulu an,
were sent to the Queen IS hospital TO
treatment. Three of the men made af
fidavits as to the unseaworthiness o
the boat in which they had arrived, anC
also made affidavits as to the captain 7
gig, which they claimed was not Il
to be launched. These afiidavits wer,
prepared and sworn to before notar,

were referred to the District Attorne,

"The first memories of my life are
that of the gypsy wagon. My mother
died when | was young and my father
was mother and father both to us
children. Many and many a time
have seen him washing or sewing for
us.
HE used to play the gypsy fiddle
and | would dance for the money the
crowds would give us. But my father
grew very disconnected. Something
was weighing on him. We little ones
didn't know anything about it then,
and father himself did not understand
it, but we know now it was conviction
of his sins. We met his two brothers
one morning on the road, and the
three families went together to the
great city of London
The men were converted on their
first night in London, but the children
were much mystified by the proceed
ings.
But the teachings and prayers of
my father had their effect | attend
ed mission service one evening, and
at the call for converts went forward.
AS knelt heard some one say,'He's
no good, nothing but ragged gypsy
boy; don't pay any attention to him.
But one old man came over to where
knelt. He was too lame and stiff to
bend his kness, so he brough a chair
and sat down beside me, put his arm
around me and prayed with me.
I haven't the least idea who he was,
but when I get to heaven I'm going to
go to that old saint and take to him
as tribute the tens of thousands of
souls l have helped to lead to Christ,
the result Of his kindness to a poor
little gypsy boy, whom nobody want
ed and for whom nobody cared.
"The next spring old General Booth
took me with him as an evangelist. l
couldn't read or write-Pd only been
in school four weeks during my whole
life-Pd never seen knife or fork
and I'd never seen a real bed But

yet. If I'd only had your chances.

and diamonds. II out of London mud
