PRESENT MARKET
GROWING RAPIDLY


The public market has regained
it's activity and is growing faster
than ever. Seventy-five feet of
space was added to the south end
of the market last week and a lot
of newprivate stalls were built.
BY the time local berries arrive
1t is expected the market will
reach nearly to Thirteenth street.
So great has the interest become
in the enterprise that discussion
is now turning to the erection of
a permanent market for the city.
The present street marke, has
demonstrated that the people want
q market and the advantages Of it
are now being boosted in an effort
to get a permanent building.
"The city ought to buy that
whole block and build q great
market" said Commissioner Nc
Gregor this morning. "A man
was telling me he would be willing
to guarantee 10 per cent on the
investment to the city If it bought
this property and erected a great
market, putting UP a permanent
brick building.
"The market could have an en-
trance on D street and also on the
alley In the rear on higher ele-
walton. This would furnish a lot
OF space and the situation is
IDEAL"
Councilman Turnbull, who has
fought the present market, said he
would be willing to support plan
to get q permanent market of
that character.

Only one woman, the Australian

GRAFT CASE
IN UPROAR
AGAIN
HENEY DEMANDS THAT THE
VOUCHERS OF UNITED RAIL-

THEN THE TROUBLE BE-

(By United Press Leased Wire.)
SAN FRANCISCO, May "a
The determined inquiries of last
week into the financial accounts
of the prosecution were replied to
in kind today, upon the resump-
tion of proceedings in. the Calhoun
trial, when Special Prosecutor
Francis j. Heney demanded that
Assistant Cashier Adam Dollar of
the United Railroads, be instruct
ed to produce from the company's
archives vouchers signed by Will
lam Abbott, Luther Brown form
er United Railroad detectives;
John Helms, Attorney Nelson and
Felix Paudeveris.
The bearing of the vouchers
upon the case were questions in
dignantly by Attorney King, who
declared that the issuance of such
an order would be a direct in
fringement upon the rights OF
American citizenship.
With marked deliberation, and
with a suavity that aroused the
ire of the defense, Heney remark
ed that any reference to the rights
of the United Railroads was all
"ot."
"I have a right" he said, "to
investigate the financial opera
tions of any public service corpor-
aCion. There was never a law to
prevent vt, an dthere never will
be. Society would fall to pieces
IL there were law to prevent en-
ployes of a man charged with
crime from testifying against him.
1t would be a monstrous doctrine
that would permit the president of
a public service corporation to
commit crimes and his employees to
refuse to testify against him."
Dollar statSd that he was not
sure that vouchers of the natrueI
suggested by Heney were in his
keeping, and after a lengthy and
wordy argument between counsel,
Judge Lawlor suspended ruling
and took under advisement the re-
quest to have the vouchers pro-
duced.
1t is though that this week will
mark the end of the trial.

SEWARD, May. 24.-Bringing
1874 survivors of the wreck of the
ship Columbia near Unimak pass,
with a story of suffering and hero
ism seldom exceeded in the annals
of the deep, the mail steamer Dora
arrived In port yesterday.
The Dora Is a small vessel, 300
tons gross, with accommodations
for SO passengers, and the
staunch craft, the hero of numer-
Gus adventures of the sea, fairly
bulged with her load of 240 human
beings.
Following the grounding of the
vessel, bound from San Francisco,
in a binding snow storm, eight
miles east of SUnimak pass, on the
night of April 80, the experiences
of the passengers and crew of the
Columbia, as they told them here,
were narrowing. In the extreme,
but stout hearts .triumphed.
Terrific Storm
There was no wind at the time,
but a terrific surf was raging
fran a storm of the previous night.
Sailors Show Courage
At daylight the feasibility Of a
surf landing was established. Two
former life-saving service men,
Christ Christopherson and Ernest
Anderson, insisted they be allowsd
to proceed for shore alone In a
diminutive skiff. BY heroic effort
they succeeded in establishing a
lifeline to the shore.
