WAS NOT ON
BOARD TITANIC

News that John McElwaine of Dun
doik, county Loves, Ireland, was not
victim of the Titanic disaster was
rec eived today by N Williamson, a
friend of the young man, and for whom
McElwaine was to take charge of the
shoe department of the Greater Bos-
ton store.
McElwaine, instead of sailing en- the
Titanic as he had planned decided to
take the Baltic, and crossed with that
vessel on her return trip after the I'll
tanic disaster. He has arrived safely
in New York, and will reach Moscow
in about a week. The young man
learned the shoe business in the same
store where Mr. Williamson was ap-
prenticed in his youth, and is an ex
pert in that line.

scheduled to consider as a special
order of business this morning the
resolution introduced on Monday by
VIM F. Rice of Chilli, which caused
bitter debate regarding protestant
mission work in Roman Catholic coun-
tries.
1t was the great power granted to
this proposed court of appeals to
which objection was made by dele
gates, and church leaders said that
the formation of court Of appeals
with far less power may result.
That Helena Mont, Les Angeles,

and kaDsas City probably are the
places where episcopal residences will
be established at this session of the
general conference is the belief of
delegates The report on episcopal
residences will be made today.
Other cities making a close race
for resident bishops are Cleveland
and Bismarck, N D. The dropping of
New Orleans as a resident city is be-
ing discussed.
With the establishment of four or
five new eDiscopacies, it is said, the
present session must elect at least 10
bishops. One hundred and fifty
names, it is estimated, will be ballot
ed on at the first vote.

DESTROYED Evidence on Heads

NEW YORK, May 8.-How the of
ficals of the steel trust, facing govern
men prosecution on charges of re
strain of trade calmly ordered theil
subordinates to burn al evidence o.
their law breaking the instant fedora
suit was filed was detailed here today
before Referee Henry 7. Brown by
Harry Whitney, an official of the Wor-
'cester, Mass, plant of the American
Steel & Wire Company, subsidiary
sof the steel trust.
Whitney declared he had destroyed
the evidence by direct order OF, Frank
Baackes, president of the American
Steel and Wire Co.
He received Baackes' order immed-
lately after the filing of the govern
ment's suit to dissolve the trust. Whit
ney declared he had by Baackes' order
gathered all papers containing any
evidence against the Steel & Wire com
pany in the office of George Cragin,
it's assistant sales manager, and
shipped them to Worcester, at which
place he personally took them to the
boiler room and directed the fireman
to burn them.

LATAH COUNTY JURORS
INSPECT COURT HOUSE

All day today has the Latah county
court house been undergoing a critical
examination by the jurors, accompan-
led by State Sanitary Inspector Wallis
A number of the investigating COM
mittee even crawled under the building
and examined the foundation, and found
places where the support was not in
contact with the sills. The foundation
has cracked and settled in places. and
every wall in the court house was
found cracked from the ground to the
top. The north wall mas something
like five cracks from top to bottom.
Every room in the building was ex-
amined and the Jail looked over care
fully. Everywhere were the walls
found defective, and many places wide
cracks showed in the corners. Some
places these cracks are a half inch
OF more wide and run all the way
across room, or from top to bottom
The attic was visited and a deplora-
Bile condition found Public records
were piled everywhere, and the wiring
condemned as unsafe in many faces.
Aud it was plain that until more room
is provided which includes vaults.
these unprotected records must remain
exposed.
The Jail was visited and it was the
unanimous verdict of the men that
the condemnation was above criticism.
One of the committee said: 1T is a
disgrace"
Many of the gentlemen were out
spoken in their opinions as to the ex-
posed records, and said they were in
favor of the immediate construction |
OF a vault. But it developed that one
vault would not do that the various
officials would not and could not use
a joint vault; that county officers, |
under heavy bonds for their records, |
would not use common vault, and |
the Kendrick bank case was cited as
an illustration of possible trouble |
should the county attempt such a plan |
Many of the departments will require
vaults, and the cost will reach |
several thousands of dollars
Some u the men ON the committee
said the greatest objection to new
court house was against bonds. ,a..a !
