ed to cause or permit the decedent
and other passengers upon said steam
ship to te removed to a place of safe
ty after the vessel struck Vanderbi't
Reef and rested thereon, although
there was ample time, chance and op
portunity to remove and transfer the
passengers from said steamship in
safety to other boats which came
near to the Princess Sophia for that
exo'ess purpose."
The complaint further alleges that
although the master of the steamship
and other employes knew the dangers
incurred in allowing the passengers
to remain on the stranded vessel the
refused to allow their removal to the
other boats because of orders from of
ficials of the company.
Prevented From Leaving Vessel
It is alleged in the complaint that
when Kendal! and other passengers
attempted to seize some of the life
boats and so escape from the sinkin'
vessel they were forcibly preventeJ
from leaving the steamship by memb
ersof the ship's crew. It is alleged
were beaten and bruised by employes
of the company, and were forced to
go below stairs where lifeboats were
not available.
Foth complaints also allege that the
company was criminally negligent ir
allowing the departure of the Princess
Sophia from Skagway in a blinding
snowstc'm. October 23.

Alaskans for Committee.
Mrs. Somerset ellofl® that cn the
day the Sophia struck cn Vandsrbiit
Reef the sea was cairn and that thru
out the day vessels lay near by, ready
and able to rescue all on board with
out difficulty and that the officers and
crews of these vessels frequently ten
dered their services In this regard.
That a committee of Alaskans has
been formed to obtain redress from
the Canadian Pacific Railway Com
pany for the dependents of those
drowned in the Sophia wreck was
the statement made yesterday by At
torney Martin, who, with Myers A
Johnstone, represents the members of
this committee.
Affidavits have been obtained by ^
the lawyers from officers and memb-1
ers of the crews of these vessels;
supporting the charge of neglect. One
of these is signed by Capt. C. W.
Stidham, master of the U. S. H. B.
Peterson of the Quartermaster De
oartment, U. S. A. He swears he
was ordered to the wreck after sup
erior officers had received wireless
calls for help, and that he obtained
fifty army blankets to provide for the
comfort of those he expected to save.
He swears the Sophia lowered a life
boat from the stern of the vessel
without difficulty and it contained
several men who worked it about
the stern of the ship, evidently ex
amining the hull. At low water, he
swears, he could see that the bottom
of the Sophia was badly torn away
for a distance of fifty feet from the
bow aft. He makes oath also that he
believed and stated to others on the
ships nearby, that all on board could
i be taken off without trouble and sav
ed if only consent was given by the
'captain of the Sophia.—Seattle Times

Whatever politicians at home may

After being in close touch with him

he is still the aen:al fiaure . that
