fore the sun climbed over the hills
of the Blue Ridge. Before the cleo
trio lights of this modern camp were
turned out TO make way for the sun,
the veterans We're singing the songs
of war time and the widest space OF
the tent area echoed with yell OF the
Johnny Reb' and the hearser yell Of
his brother from the north.
The regular Army men in charge OF
the camp expected $4,000 veterans TO
come into Gettysburg, today ana by
tonight they will be prepared 10 tent
and mess more than 10000 men With
out hitch or delay. There was no set
program, today, and the veterans
were left free to look up old friends
swap stories of '6S, and enjoy them
selves in any way they saw fit
Just as soon as the rations were
disposed of the inspection of the pat
tlefield and the retelling OF the story
of Gettysburg began. with all the

RELEASE is PREDICTED
FOR HARRY X. THAW

(By John e. Nevin, stan cores
pondent of the United Press.)
Sherbrooke, Quebec, Aug, 21.-
Harry X. Thaw's attorneys this af-
ternoon told the Union Press that
Harry's case is already won; that he
is assured of his freedom, and that
the issuance of warratn for the flu
gitive's arrest under the immigra.
tion law is but a defensive move to
keep Thaw in Canada indefinitely.
The defense attorneys profess to
believe that political influences are
at work to induce the court to turn
Thaw loose so he may be Immediately
arrested and deported. The war
rant, they say, was Issued to prevent
such action.
The defense attorneys also assert
that Attorney Shurtleffe's trip to Of
tawa is for the purpose of asking the
minister of the interior to authorize
Thaw to leave Canada voluntarily
and by any route he pleases
Sherbrooke. Quebec, Aug. al
Release for Harry X. Thaw with per-
mission to continue his journey
through Canada 70 wherever he de-
sires to go was predicted here today
by immigration experts as the result
OF habeas corpus proceeding which
comes today before Judge Gobensky.
The representatives OF New York
state who are here intend to present
the testimony Of Mrs. Thaw, the
mother, in Thaw's trial for murder
in an attempt to prove him insane
and consequently a At subject for de-
portation. Mrs Thaw then said that
Harry had been moody and period
lcally irrational from childhood.
Or. Britton Evans, the alienist,
who is here with George Carnegie,
Thaw's brother-in-law. and his wife
will endeavor to Offset this testimony
with a straight-out declaration that
whatever Thaw's condition at the
time he killed Stanford White, ne
now is and has for long been perfect
ly sane.
Impressed by Canadian public
opinion, which is strongly in favor
OF Thaw, the immigration commits.
sloners today were moderating their
former assertions that they would
Immediately deport him They now
say they will take no precipitate ac-
tion.

CITY COUNCIL HELD
SPECIAL SESSION Thu URSDAf,

The city council met in special
session Thursday morning at ten
o'clock to take action concerning the
issue of notes in the sum of $4,000,
cashed so days ago through the
agency of Franklin Helm at Los
Angeles bank. These notes were TO
be retired from the proceeds OF the
sale OF 100000 railroad bonds, but
as the settlement OF the case before
the supreme court has been delayed
the bonds were not yet available for
transfer, and the council has author
lied the drawing of warrants to COW
er the face OF the notes and the in
terest, all to be retired from the
bond fund when it is available.
The council also received a COM
munication from the library COM
mission asking that an appropriation
of SIS per month be made for main
tenance of the library, and also that
the $3.50 appropriated to the Fourth
of July fund, but not expended, be
given TO the commission for use Of
the library. Action was not taken
upon the communication.
The question of trading the city
team, which is becoming rather an
cient, for another team. was consid-
cred, an offer having been made
whereby the city can obtain a young
! team of heavy hor5es in exchange
for the old ones by paying $3.50
boot" money. The purchasing com
mittee was instructed to investigate
the trade further, to have a veter-
marian examine the team, and to
give it trial before concluding a
trade.
The regular Thursday night meet
ing of the council was postponed be-
cause this special meeting had
cleared the table of pressing busi-
ness.

STORY OF WRECK
OF 5. 5. CALIFORNIA.

Juneau, Alaska, Aug. 20.-Now
this is the story of how they died,
those 32, and may be many more, so
far as anybody can yet tell, when the
liner State of California went to the
bottom last Sunday morning in the
icy waters of Frederick Sound in
southeastern Alaska.
They had no chance.
The story comes from the stam-
merlng lips of those. who live by
curious tricks of fate.
At S:2S of that sunny Sunday
morning, the ship was steaming out
of Gambler bay over a placid sea.
Only a few minutes before she had
left the cannery dock, where she had
discharged little cargo, taken on a
little, and so, added few dollars to
the profits of the voyage.
The shore was close. Ahead the
reef, ruffiing the sea- Beyond deep,
blue water.
A few passengers were in the din
ing saloon. The rest were asleep,
or dressing in their staterooms, be-
hind locked doors.
At 1928 the vessel struck the un-
charted rock. At S:31 she sank.
Three minutes-and they were not
prepared.
David Cowen, of Vashon Island,
near Seattle, lives and wonders how
and why.
"She struck hard" says Cowen.
Rogue River courier. (Grants Pass, Or.) 1886-1927, 1913-08-22

She listed first this way and then
that. The captain steered for the
shore. 1t seemed just a little way.
The bow sank-the whole ship was
going down. noticed some mules
in the hold. / looked again and
there was only water where the
mules had been. But l heard them
scream.
THE hatchways had not been bat
tened down since leaving the can
merry and the in-rush Of water drove
all manner Of freight out Of the
holds.
Il jumped for the rigging. Some
body else jumped, too, and fought
with me for foot and hand holds. |
looked down, and saw the whole sup
erstructure Of the ship rise up. It
was the air pressure below.
Then the masts fell, and the rig
ging came crashing down. A mast
fell across lifeboat full of people.
1t threw several of them into the
water. saw several faces-a van
ishing crowd.
The ship settled with a rush. Be-

der it, my lungs bursting. When |
