THE COLUMBIA'S CAPTAIN
Down ia San Faccisco the investiga
ioc lato the Columbia horror Is
dragging along and we will have a
whitewash report ia a few days which
will; in all likelihood, exonorate the
poltroon captain of the San Pedro who
permitted the passengers of the ill
fated Columbia to perish near Shelter
Cove. The one bright spot of the
entire disaster was the action of Capt.
Doran. He was a typical Irish sea
captain, rich in the wit of his native
race, generous and kind to thosa under
him, brave ? the manner of his dyin?
ia a mute emblem of his braverr? Capt.
Doran went down with his steamer an.l
with him also went many of his brave
crew who stuck to their post* in the
hour of danger and labored to save
those placed in peril. Capt. Doran
had often said that if his ship went
down he would not be among the list of
survivors. His last words as the big
steamer took her final plunge beneath
the blue waters of the Pacific were:
"Good bye: God bless you."
It had been misty and foggy, but at
the time of the disaster the weather
had cleared up somewhat, and after the
collision the steamer San Pedro could
be seen where she had drifted away a
quarter of a mile.
The next morning Capt. Hansen, with
the San Pedro, steamed calmly into San
Francisco and he is now appearing be
fore the investigating committee, and
through c .wardly perjury is attempting
to place the blame upou the head of
the dead captain. Capt. Doran went
down with his ship and those who
cou:d testify in bis favor cannot remove
from his name the stnin which Hansen
seeks to place upon it? for they are
dead with rim, bu> ail the world knows
that Doran died a man and scant heed
will bi paid to statements of Hansen
whose criminal cowardice causes even
his garments to smell of his helpless
victims blood.
Those gentlemen who make their liv
ing by having mining properly in Alaska
and who, after indulging in a few high
balls in eastern hotel barrooms, get in
terviewed and "knock" thl? territory by
stating that Alaska teems with lawless
ness and that we are unable to govern
ourselves, should recall to mind that
ihey may haye to cone back to Alaska
and mingle with the people they have
slandered. And, while in a retro
spective mood ther should not overlook
the fable of the parrot who, after he
had gotten into considerable difficulty
by his loquaciousness, remembered that
he had ''talked too damned much."
Two Englishmen, having revived to
better their fortunes by mining in Mex
ico, one of them started for th<3 land of
"frljoles, tomales and cigarettes," the
other remained it home. Some months
later the latter received some samples
of ore weighing about a ton and a half
and assaying very high in precious met
als. With such a showing, the neces
sary capital to work the mine was easi
ly secured. The miner In Mexico re
ceived the following cable: "Stock all |
subscribed ; start development work on ]
mine at once." The answer was: "Con
gratulations; please return the mine." I
The Alaskan is just In receipt of the
special edition of The Nome Nugget,
which was Issued in the Interests
of the mining industry of Northern
Alaska. The publication Is a very
excellent one and does great credit to
The Nugget office. The edition Is
printed on book paper and is handsome
ly embellished with half tone cuts.
Alaska cannot have too many such;
publications.

MINISTER'S WIFE
PREFERS JAP
Infatuated with a Japanese servant
who ha<i been employed in their home,
Mrs. Harry C. Robinson, wife of Rev.
Harry C. Robinsoc, rector of St. John's
Episcopal church, of West Seattle, and
well known in religious and social cir
cles In this city, was arrested at an ear
ly hour this morning in company with
her Oriental lover in a lodging house on
lower King street, ?avs the Seattle Star. !
The couple were taken to headquarters
and charged with disorderly conduct.
The Jap gave his name as Y. Sacamota.
At first the woman said her name was
Mabel Parriah. which was registered on
the blotter at police headquarters. The
police, however, learned Immediately
that she was a woman of some conse
quence. and within a short time her
real Identity was disclosed.
"I want you to understand that I am
a lady," said the prisoner, and further
questioning elicited the fact that her
husband was an Episcopal minister. At
first this remarkable statement was
doubted, but in a fly leaf of a book car
ried by was the name of "Harry
C. Robinson." and after remaining in
jail for five hours she telephoned her
husband that she was in custody. With
in a short time she was allowed to leave
In his company, upon her personal re
cognisance.
The attention of the arresting officer's
Patrolmen W. Donlan and Doyle, was
first attracted to the couple several days
ago. They noticed a white woman in
company with the Japanese on several
occasions, and becoming suspicious, they
determined to make an investigation.
Last night tbe woman, in company
with the Japanese, was seen to go to
the latter's room in the lodging house
on King St. Later the officers proceed
ed to the room and the arrest followed.
At headquarters, Mrs. Robinson, or
Mabel Parrisb, as she first insisted up
on calling herself, told a story in effect
that her husbani lived in West Seattle;
that the Japanese had formerly been in
their employe but had been discharged
by the husband: that last Saturday night
she heard the Japanese was siclc and
she came to the city and went to his
room.
'?I tried to catch the boat back to
West Seattle that night," continued the
woman to the officers, "and missed the
boat. Later I found myself back in tbe
room again and did not get to go home."
The police say that the pastor's wife
and the Japanese have been in each
other'9 company ever since Saturday,
although among tbe neighbors of the
Robinson's in West Seattle, it has been
generally believed thai. Mrs. Robinson
was at borne.
