CALAIS, June 1.-THE men of
the sunken French submarine Plu.
viose. who were in the inner COM
partment of the little craft when 1t
was sunk by the Vile de Calais May
26, lived day after the collision
and slowly strangled to death. The
men in the cutter compartments,
which were ripped open, were
either mangled so that they died
instantly or drowned.
This report was made by the sur
geons who examined the bodies of
the officers and crew of the sub
marine.
While the divers from the French
warships were working on the sunk
en- craft to raise It, the men in the
inner compartments amidships
were slowly dying. The investiga-
ton proves the report that tapping
by the imprisoned men were heard.
Belief was expressed here that If
the submarine had been raised at
once half the crew of q men would
have been saved.

POWER FOR
EVIL HELD
BY POLICE
Case of Mrs. Lambert and
Officer McQuillan
Shows It.
HOME WAS WRECKED

An instance Of the power for evil
Of a corrupt policeman Is shown in
the case of Mrs. G. A. Lambert and
Officer McQuiIIan, that resulted in
the wrecking Of two homes and the
exposure Of bad conditions in the
police department.
This case goes back nearly three
years, in the summer of 1907, but
recent Investigations show that con-
ditions in the police department,
laid bare in the McQuillan case,
have continued since, only to a
greater extent There are a number

men of similar ambitions, would
shine as ideal guardians of the pub
tic peace and order But under the
present regime such men are hel(
in the background and only the pets
and favorites of the reigning pow
ers, however weak they may be, are
advanced to promotion.
Three years ago Mrs. Lambert
was an honest, unsophisticated
country woman, living happily with
her husband and there children on
ranch near Krupp, Wash. They
were poor and struggling hard to
make the payments on the farm. In
an evil moment the woman con-
ceived the idea of becoming one OF
the bread winners for the family
of going to work in the big city and
by her earnings and savings hasten
the time when the mortgage would
be lifted and the burden that had
been crushing the little household
removed. The matter was talked
over at some length in the family
and finally the husband consented

WATER IS
ALLOWED
TO WASTE
End of Main Left Open,
Millions of Gallons
Escape.
CARELESSNESS, CAUSE

For hours last night millions Of
gallons of water poured from the
open end Of the new 30-inch city
force main, laid to Freya street and
Harrison avenue, causing the waste
Of water sadly needed to relieve the
scarcity now prevailing in some Sec
tions OF the city. entalng a heavy
loss in the caving in Of an immense
Itch, dug to receive the force pipe.
1t Is presumed that some en-
ploye Of the water department
pulled the wrong lever and turned
water that was intended for some
other main into the one with the
open end. Soon the big ditch. that
was IL feet deep and four to five
feet wide and extended whole
block, was filled to Overlooking and
the water rushed down the hillside
to the ravine below.
There was no fater this morning
as early as $50 on portions of the
North Monroe hill. There was none
yesterday for a good part of the
day. The officials of the water de-
partment say that one of the new
pumps will be installed within a
week or 10 days. but that ii will
take 10 days more for the pump to
timber up. In that event there Will
be no relief for the Monroe hill
folk. under the present division of
the water supply, until about
July |.
In the meantime the water con
sumers on the north hill can burn,
scorch and bake, so far as the water
department is concerned.
People of the north hill are re-
calling with Il great deal of irony
the placards that were posted on
the pine trees in that section lit
tie over a year ago, that read:
vote for Mayor Pratt and Get
Water" Many of them swallowed
this bait, but now, with parched
throats, are repenting at leisure.

Mukiltoe. Wash. April 29.-Rev. Horatio
Hopkins and his assistant, the Rev. Hec-

cannibals on February o last, according TO
the crew of the barkeutlne Mary Z. Win

Tonga Islands
Hopkins and Mcpherson were teaching
in the mission building on the beach in
the little harbor Of Savage Island, when
200 savages. bowling war cries and bran
dishing clubs and spears, descended on
them and took thirteen prisoners. The
missionaries had twenty converts IN train

capped
Both missionaries were bound and left
lying on the beach in the tropical sun FOR
several hours, while the savages took the
native captves inland.

beach and carried the missionaries on a

There for two days and nights they he'd

rcvelry could be seen plainly by the

While most Of the cannibals were sleep

going was hastened by the sight Of two
OF the cannibal chiefs donnlng the clothes
Of the missionaries. The clergymen had
already been eaten.
