PERRY STRUCK A
ROCK DURING FOG
Bottom of Revenue Cutter Was
Ripped Out and 1t Was
Blown Up

VALDEZ, Alaska, Aug 14-Details
of the loss of the revenue cutter Perry,
which went on the rocks of Tonki
point, st. Paul island, in Bering sea,
July 26, were brought here today by
the revenue cutter Rush from Una
laska
The Perry had been working its
1t was on the way to the sealing viii
lage to report to the Tahoma before
proceeding to Unalaska. About 4
o'clock in the morning of the 26th the
fog became less dense and the Perry
started to round Tonki point, when
it ran into another heavy fog bank.
The soundings were all right and
within two minutes the officer on
watch sighted land, got his bearings
and directed the course away from
danger. 1t was too late, though, for
two minutes later breakers were
sighted ahead. The officer again
changed his course, but the boat struck
: rock and held fast.
AS soon as the Percy struck it's wire
less operator began calling for assist
ance. The calls were picked up by the
cutter Tahoma and at 10 o'clock it
arrived alongside. The Tahoma put
the slop chests aboard and sent out to
get the cutter Manning to stand by
The Manning is of lighter draft than
the Tahoma.
In the meantime the crew Of the
Perry had been sent ashore. The men
went five miles overland to the village,
where they were given quarters in the
home of the sealing company's agent
and the United States marshaPs house
The next morning they returned to
the wreck with 80 empty barrels,
which they slowed in the vessel in the
hope of keeping it af1oat. While
pounding on the rocks, however, the
whole bottom of the cutter was ripped
out, and Captain Foley decided that it
was useless to make further efforts to
salve it. He assigned the crew of
the Perry to duty aboard other vessels
of the Bering sea fleet and ordered the
wrecked cutter blown up.

himself, began making hideous faces
at them until he terrified the little crea-
lures into silence. A handsome and
dignified Chinese merchant was seated
next to me, watching this procedure
with an impassive face. The English
man caught his eye and said:

girls ''They tink me allie same clazy

COMPOUND PRESERVES
STONE MONUMENTS

The stone preserving compound of
r. NJ Caffa1I is mixture of paraffin
with creosote dissolved in turpen-
tine, and is designed primarily to pro-
tect against atmospheric action, while
the parafin prevents organic growth
This is the material with which was
checked the decay of the pink granite
Egyptian obelisk that was set up in
Central park, New York, in 1881.
On its new site the obelisk began to
weather rapidly, and in 1885, when the
protective coating was applied, 7SO
pounds of loose chips were removed
The heating of the surface necessary
in applying the mixture-the melting
point of which is 140 degrees Fahren-
heit--did not have the injurious
effect feared.
The heat caused the substance to be
absorbed to the depth of half an inch,
S7z pounds being applied to the 200
square yards of shaft and plinth. In
the 25 years since then the stone has
shown no decay.-Newark News.

Supreme Court to Deal With
Rights of Indians During
Approaching Term

WASHINGTON, Aug. 14.-With the
rights of some 10000 Indians in ques-
tion, the supreme court of the United
States will begin consideration. prob
ably during the first week of the ap-
preaching term, of some of the most
perplexing problems arising out of the
relation of the United States to it's
wards. Among those are questions of
citizenship and of authority over the
lands of the individual Indians.
In 1902 congress passed an act for
the allotment to the individual Indians
of the Cherokee tribe tribal land in
Oklahoma. one restriction was laid
upon the land:
any manner whatever or at any time
be incumbered, taken or sold to secure,
or satisfy, any debts or obligations or
be ahenated by the allottee or his heirs
before the expiration of five years from
the date of the ratification of this act.
In 1904 congress authorized the sec
retary of the interior to grant a right
of way for oil and gas pipe lines
through the lands thus allotted to the
Indians In 1906 the five year restric-
tion imposed in 1902 was extended to
25 years The constitutionality of the
acts of 1904 and of 1906 was raised
and congress authorized two Indians,
William Brown and Levi 3. Gritts, to
bring suit to test the laws. The court

All this was regular, but some gen

JAIL OPENED AT MIDNIGHT


Just as the clock struck midnight
the jailers opened wide the prison gates
and the three attorneys stepped forth
to freedom With friends who had
come to greet them they climbed into
the half dozen waiting autos, whose
glaring headlights split the pitchy
darkness of the country side.
1t was with a feeling of exceeding
joy that the three men came out again
into the world from which they had
been separated The Moores were
whirled off in a big machine to their
homes in Oakland, accompanied part OF
the way by Patrick Calhoun.
Barrett and a dozen friends celebrat-
ed his released Two big machines were
ready to carry him and those of his
party to the Cliff house, where ban
quet was served at l o'clock in the
morning. Among the hosts were William
f. Humphreys, Judge Fritz, F. M Fen
wick, t. j. McCann and S. n. Rucker.
TIME SAVED, BUT MONEY LOST
AS the Calhoun attorneys spent but
four days three hours and 40 minutes
in jail. they got the best of the county
by 20 hours and Is minutes. They en-
tered the Jail Wednesday night at S15
o'clock and, under the law, the remain
der of the night counted as the first
of the five day sentence.
The incarceration of the attorneys
put an astonishing nick in the Cal
houn defense fund. The war chest has
been depleted of S1,321 by the short
Imprisonment.
Going to Jail for contempt of court
is a costly affair. What would happen
to Calhoun and his defense fund should
all his 20 more attorneys become
martyrs and go to JAIL can only be
conjectured.
The three attorneys spent yesterday
much as they had spent the previous
days Barrett had no lawn to shave,
so all three exercised in the flower gar
den The day was cold and raw in the
city.
ct was the most beautiful day we've
had yet said Barrett. Perhaps it only
looked better to US, but 1 think it was
more beautiful. Tonight is the queen
of them all.
PIOUS EXERCISES AT JAIL
Streams of visitors found their way
out to the county jail yesterday, TAX
ing words of cheer to the attorneys
Among these were Garret McEnerney
and his brother, John; Thomas b.
Flynn, Patrick Calhoun and his three
sons, Tirey L. Ford and a party of
women, Mrs. A. A. Moore Sr. and a
number of women friends.
The prisoners were up early, although
they sat up until after midnight swap
ping stories. 1t was the last day and
they were eager to see its close.
The lights go out in the real Jail at
9:30, said Barrett, but our jailers are
human lot of men,
Although yesterday was Sunday there
were religious services because of
the smallpox quarantine.
However, said Barrett. with a
smile. I'VE all read prayer books and
looked pious. Every one out here is
pious on Sunday"
Early yesterday morning they shipped
their suit cases and paraphernalia into
the city, and the day was occupied
principally in smoking cigars and eat
ing sweets With the departure at
midnight the jailers were hidden a
hearty goodby and were made heirs to
the flowers and cigars that were left
behind.
