The ship carried 504 steerage, 20 saloon passengers, and 11 returning cattlemen.

Defence Arguments in Fleischer Case After Six Days
After six days of hearing on charges of conduct unbecoming a bar member, John Nathan Fleischer's defense opens. Berenson, his lifelong friend, begins two and a half hours of argument in his favor, to be resumed next morning. Cross examination reveals Fleischer filed a July 1905 bankruptcy without listing several witnesses’ claims, admitting those claims could have yielded dividends for his creditors. He says he intended to keep those people as clients if discharged and notes only one suit against him from Mrs Wall, whom he believes owes him.
