Will Die Game.

j, j. Morris, the condemned bandit
Tuesday morning has announced that he
Will make a written statement shortly
before he is led to his death. lie has
not revealed the nature Of the state
mcnt and there Is much speculation at
the state prison as to what 1t will con-
tain A confession OF guilt would shed
no new light. as the murder at which he
is guilty was committed in broad day
light In the heart OF the city. While
trying to escape capture after q holdup
he shot TO death civilian who obstructod
his path.
II IL thought by some who have talked
with him that he Will confess other
crimes After serving a twenty-year
sentence he was at liberty for many
months before captured in this city, and
il Is likely that he committed other
holdups
II will he recalled that soon after his
conviction he issued a sensational state
mcnL to the effect that he had been
robbed OF $4,000 worth of diamonds while
In the city jail 1t is probable that he
may repeat his accusation. as he is
known 10 cherish relentless hatred against
the police
For several weeks two Methodist Clcr-
gymen have called on Morris almost
daily. For time he seemed to show
some slight interest in their ministra-
tlons. but within the last few days he
has displayed considerable irritation
whenever they have called on him.
Morris became enraged when he read
in one OF the newspapers that he was

STEAMER CRASHES
INTO SEATTLE DOCK
Finest Passenger Pier on the
Coast Wrecked; Three
Persons Injured.

SEATTLE, Wash. April 2o.-Seycral
persons were injured, the sound steam
er Telegraph was sunk and the Coleman
dock, one of the finest passenger piers
on the Pacific coast, was wrecked late
tonight when the Alaska Steamship
company s big steel steamship Alameda
got beyond control as she was being
taken into her berth at pier No. and
plowed through the Coleman dock.
As far as known no lives were lost.
The injured include the following:
Mrs. George B. Lynch, Anacortes,
Wash. bruised and cut.
Miss Emma Anderson. Seattle, ankle
broken.
Mrs. j, w. Page, Seattle, bruised.
The Alameda. iu command of Cap
tain John A. o 'Brien, sound pilot for
the Alaska Steamship company, was
side OF pier 2 from the Standard Oil
wharf. where she had gone to take on
fuel oil
AS the big steamship approached tho
pier Captain o 'Bricn sigDalled the en-
gjnerOom for slow speed to enable the
vessel to make the sharp turn into the
slip. Either through misunderstaud-
ing Of signals or because Of the fail
ure Of the engIneroom telephone. the
Alameda started full speed ahead to-
ward the Coleman dock.
Captain O 'Brien saw that the crash
could not be averted aud tied down
the whistle to warn the people IN the
waiting room on the end Of the pier of
their danger,
The long blast brought men and
women 10 the windows, who imme-
diatcl,- turned and ]ed for shore. The
| women injured were crushed in the
panic-stricken throng that struggled al
! the doors Leading from the waiting
| room to the exit gallery. BY the time
the Alameda struck the pier the wait
| iugroom was empty,
Captain O'Brien dropped both port
and starboard anchors in an effort to
stop his vessel but. she poked her nose
| into the wooden structure and plowet
through. slicing off 100 feet of the enc
of tho pier and emerging on the other
side with her deck covered with wreck
age.
The Telegraph. which had Just dis
charged her passengers from Everett
was ins the path Of the Alaska Liner anc
was cut in two. The little vessel 5anl
slowly and tho crew bad time TO escape
by inmping into tho water. 1t is be
| lieved that all were picked up
