Man Arrives in New Orleans
After Thrilling Experience
MADE PRISONERS BY MARIN
H. o. DOWNING OF SALEM, ORE,
AND r. e. MILLER HAVE CLOSE
CALL FOR LIVES IN VOLCANIC
SOUTH AMERICAN REPUBLIC
ESCAPE ON SWITCH ENGINE.

New Orleans, Sept. 17.-H. o. Down
ing, an American railroad engineer
who left Honduras about three weeks
ago-before the last reported insur-
rection-has arrived here after a series
of thrilling experiences.
Downing says he and another Amer
lean, Capt. F. e. Miller were living
near the government barracks at La
guna. On the night that General Marin
started his end of the recent successful
Bonilla revolution they were prema-
turely charged by the government
troops and fired upon.
They finally succeeded in entering
the house Of Mr.. Van Blarcum. Here
they were kept prisoners for sixteen
days, the house surrounded by troops
before the American vice consul pro-
cured bonds for them. Later in their
absence, they were convicted by the
court Of being revolutionists and but
for firmness of Van Blarcum refusing
to give them up, they probably would
have been executed.
Finally ascertalning the sailing time
Of the steamship Hiram and having
secured passage they stole a switch
engine and rode 1t to the port at the
other end of the town where they got
aboard, Miller going to British Hon.
duras, while Downing came to New
Orleans, en- route to his home at Sa-
lem, Ore.
Downing says those in authority at
Puerto Cortez are all anti-American
and the house of Miller. on which the
American flag was raised was looted by
the soldiers and the flag cut to shreds

Press Comment Causes Navy
Dept. to Make Statement
ACTUAL CAUSE NOT KNOWN
OWING TO THE EXTREME HEAT
THE CAUSE OF THE ACCIDENT
TO THE BIG 5ATTLEsHIP Is
HARD TO ARRIVE AT BUT THE
DEPARTMENT SAYS THAT IT
WAS NOT DUE TO FAULTY
CONSTRUCTION.

Washington, Sept. 1.-THE striking,
find Of the naval court, investigating
the recent oil explosion and fire on
the battleship North Dakota to the
effect that the accident was due to
faulty design and installation, appears
to have lead to a great deal OF COM
ment in the press.
This fact has caused the navy de-
partment to make public the following
statement:
From published reports of the ac-
cident on the North Dakota the i'm
preston seems to have gone forth that
the builders were wholly responsible
for it. In fact the installation of the
Oil burners is after designs that have
been used in other navies for a long
time with great success. Furthermore,
all detailed plans were approved by the
navy department
Under the circumstances no one can
be held accountable unless it is the
navy department provided the in
stallation was in accord with the APP
proved designs. AS a matter of fact,
owing to the nature of the accident and
extreme rapidity with which the ter
rife heat was evolved, evidence as to
the cause of the accident is not very
clear"

money cans and the jovial manner in
which they went about their business
caused many a business man to stop
in a hurry and be tagged. of course

same time.
The ladies were especially promi-

reaped rich rewards, either catching a
man before he would make a deposit
or after he had drawn some money,
handing each case as they found
necessary. This evening the ladies'
will work the hotels and it is expected
that before the day is over several
thousand dollars will be secured to.
