This is not the first time this sort of worse than nonsense has found it's way into print at the South. leading Seattle paper printed similar story months ago.
 Of the story is true At the time there had been only lIaf-dozen instead of sixty bodies recovered from the vessel. All the others had been picked up from the beaches and in the water The bodies recovered have shown no such signs of the character of violence claimed at all.

There has not been developed thus far scintilla of evidence that anyone anywhere at any time has committed crime in connection with any phase of this terrible cat astrophe, notwithstanding that argus eyes have searched the whole matter from every angle. It is strange conception the duties obligations of a newspaper that permits editors and again here and there to let such stories go through with out investigation before printing.

HJJRTFUL SENSATIONALISM

The Port Townsend Daily Leader of June l4 ntains the following:
 The representative of wrecking firm who was in this city recently in searcn for and other equipment to be usea by his firm in the raising of the wreck Of the Princess Sophia, tells a grewsome story of the conditions discovered aboard the ship by divers He predicted that big scandal will break loose after the steamer is raised, as it has been claimed that some of the evi- dence will still be noticeable.
 The diver says that his firm has already removed n sixty bodies from the wreck, on contracts with relatives of the dead. Divers have thoroughly examined the vessel, having been all through the wreck They claim that everything goes to show that some sort or mutiny occurred on the Sophia before she slipped off Vanderbilt Reef into the sea, the passengers evidently seeking to take posses sion of the ship. It is claimed that bodies were found marked with bullet holes, while others showed plainly that they had been severely clubbed. One mans face is said to have been almost entirely beaten off, while the hands and knuckles of an- other showed the marks of brutal clubbing Apparently steam hose was connected and used to force the mutineers into submis- sion, many of the bodies showed marks of scalding.
 In number of cases the bodies of pas sengers found strapped to the hunks in the staterooms, while one diver found the body of a. in the purser's room, strapped by the ankles to a stanchion. Sev eral of the bodies were left in the positions found, evidence of the conditions pre- vailing aboard the steamer before she sank. Most of the bodies removed from the wreck by the divers not long after the So- phia went down. sawheh, ,Sft is claimed. the conditions were stills noticeable
 ~slt Is alsol claifheds that the investigation made in British JGolumbiae was largely in the shape of "a whiteWashfng process for the officers of the steamer, favorable evidence being given the right-of-way. Something like twenty suits have been started against the Canadian Pacific by relatives of the persons drowned and it is declared that when the American courts sift the evidence there will be different story to tell.
 The raising of the wreck of the Sophia will not be difficult, as the hull lies in about sixty feet of water. one end being eighty feet below the surface The ship is not in bad shape, a number of plates being loosened

TWO OF YOUTHS
CONFESS GUILT
Raymond Carrigan and George
Kushman Change Plea
May BE Released.
WILLIAM sUGGs ON TRIAL
PaTOled Negro Together With Har-
cid hiTkcamp Deny Crime
Expect Verdict Today.

Raymond Carrigan and George
K-shman, youths who together
with William Suggs, paroled negro.
Harold Pearson, Harold E1irkcamp
and another boy. now dead, were
indicted for the burglary and lar
ceny of the clothing store of 10
seph Kautz, pleaded guilty to the
charge yesterday in circuit court.
The alleged offense was commit
ted during the night of Sept. 80
1918, when loot to the value of
s195 was secured by the thieves.
Due to the fact that it was the
first offense of Carrigan and Kush-
man, motion to admit them to pro-
baton under heavy bond was en-
tertained by Judge w. T. Church.
Ray Bramlett, alias Harold
Pearson, was Wednesday SEN
fenced to Pontiac upon a plea of
guilty. OF the five originally in
dicted for the Kautz burglary
only Suggs and Kirkcamp stood
trial. E. w. Schoede appeared for
Suggs while r. R. Reynolds rep
resented Kirkcamp. Both defend
ants pleaded not guilty.
At 4:30 yesterday afternoon the
jury was dismissed by Judge
Church upon motion of the attor-
neys for the defense to rest their
case with the court, the latter to
instruct the jury to return a YER
dict of guilty or not guilty in con-
formity with conviction of the
court.
The motion was denied, however,
following citation of a supreme
court ruling by States Attorney
FLOYD F. Thompson forbidding
such procedure by the judge in
trial Of criminal cases.
Although Suggs and KirkcamP
were indicted on five counts, tbs
case hinged upon the last one list
ed, charging the receipt of stolen
property.
The Story.
Evidence disclosed that between
2 and o'clock in the morning of
Oct. 1, 1918. Suggs, kirkeamp,
Kushman, Pearson and the boy
who since died were arrested Just
off the government bridge on the
Iowa side by a Davenport police
officer The five were IN large
stOuring car and proceeding to Dav
export with kirkcamp at the
wheel when first stopped by the
bridge guard. The party seemed
nervous and the Davenport pa
troIman who CHANGED to be stand
ing near by. upon investigation,
found the tonneau of the machine
loaded with new merchandise. The
party was at once taken TO the
Davenport police station on sus-
piciOn and there locked up. In the
seats of the automobile were found
two bIackjacks and a revolver.
Rock Island authorities were
notified and it was learned that
The KautZ clothing store had been
entered. The new merchandise re
covered in the possession of the
gang was IDENTICAL to that taken
from the Kautz store, and goods
and prisoners were handed over to
the local police
