RESCUERS LOST.
Little Hope Entertained That Sailors
VIII Ever Turn Up.

Seattle. Wash. Feb. Little hope
is entertained among shipping men IA
miliar with the north that the five
men who went with Second Mate Gus
swanson to seek aid for the ship
wrecked passengers and crew of the
i'll fated steamer Farallon will ever be
heard from again. In the summer the
trip from Iliamna bay to Kodiak Is
not difficult ana the crew could have
made it in lifeboat without danger
but at the time Swanson and his crew
three of whom were passengers on the
wrecked steamer, left the camp, a
fearful storm was raging. The water
was full of ice floes, and the driving
snow made it difficult for the men TO
keen their bearings. The latest news
from Kodiak, the destination Of the
men in the lfeboat, was received
January %. At that time they had
been out II days and had not been
seen. That they could stand the cold
storms for SO many days is improb-
able. and the fear is everywhere eN-
pressed that they are lost. Besides
Second Mate Swanson there were in
the boat two seamen, Cradles Peter
son and Otto Nelson, and three pas
sengers. Captain Wedding and Albert
Bailey of the launch Sea Wolf and
Charles Borne. landsman.

fected the rescue of the Farallon sur

The hrilliancy of the first act,

prologue, delivered by Jean Coquelin,
preparing the audience for the at

theatre mad with enthusiasm. But
the second and third acts, which were
somewhat tedious were less favor

Portland, Feb. Prosecutor F. ].
Heney at noon today had not begun
his rebuttal evidence in the Binger
Hermann trial except to read extracts
from the Washington trial of the ex-
commissioner. Col Worthington is
still checking up on Heney by reading
more of the Washington testimony
every time Heney leads off and from
appearances it will require the entire
week to get the case to the jury. This
afternoon the jury is taking a little
vacation while Heney and Col. Wor-
thngtOn try to get the cosrt to ses
their respective directions regarding
the question of further crosses -examina-
tion of Hermann. Heney wants TO

it is not a fact that Secretary Hitch
cock sent for the commissioner, tell
ing him TO bring down the Holsinger
report about the Hyde-Benson land
frauds, in California and oregon and
that at this time or soon afterwards,
asked for his resignation as commits
sioner. Colonel Worthington denies
the propriety of Heney's asking this
question on the ground that it will
tend to prejudice the jury against the
defendant. The question is being ar
gued out before the court in the ab-

crowd gathered today to attend the
inquest into the death of Col Thomas
H. swoope, the large millionaire,
which opened today at independence.
the county seat of Jackson county in
which this city is located. In view
of the sensational charges of poison
ing, it Is expected the inquest will de-
velop some sensational evidence. The
report Of chemists that traces of
strychnlne were found in the stomach
of Col. Swope, gives tangible evidence
on which to base the investigation.
Attorneys who have been working on
the case for over a month. have OBJ
tanned a large amount of evidence
and there is much speculation as to
Just how much Of it will be intro
duced at the inquest
The basis of the investigation is
the allegation that the death of Col
Swope and his nephew. Chrisman
Swope, resulted from plot, the pur-
pose of which was to gain possession
OF the Swope millions. As the deaths
/ of the two men were very similar, il
| is expected here that the result of the
present inquest will have almost ar

HUNT FOR TWO MEN.
Aberdeen Searching for Supposed
Victims of Gohl Grimes.

Aberdeen. Wash, Feb. s.-To as
certain the whereabouts of two men
and to trace their movements, is sta
ted to be the principal object of the
city and council authorities at present
in connection with the case of William
Gohl. who is under arrest on a war;
rant charging the murder of William
Hedberg.
These men, the authorities believe,
possess knowledge. both of the slay-
ing of Hedberg and the disappearance
OF John Hoffman, although the au-
thorities say they do not think they
were directly implicated in either case.
One of the men, it is suspected, has
fled to Canada or Mexico. The ap-
parent magnitude of the case, and the
amount of fanciful rumors, together
with the awe in which Gohl is held,
makes the work of the police diff
cult.
Gohl is a man who assumed
braggadocio aid on all occasions, es-
pecially when he was under the in
fluence of liquor, When in this con-
dition it is stated by the police, he
Dragged of his acts openly. How
much of this was vagery of his Inn
agination and how much truth, is
what the police have not so far de-
termined.
