TO SUE THE MAIL COMPANY,
Relatives Of Shipwrecked Passen-
ger Will Claim Damages.

ger w III OldITT damages.
A test case will be made in the next few
DAYS against the Pacific Mail Steamship
Company TO determine its liability in the
wreck of the Colima.
Charles Thornton, Mrs. T. Gray and
Henry Struckman, residents of this City,
had relatives on board the vessel, all of
whom were drowned, and they propose to
recover damages if possible for their loss.
They will file complaints in the United
States Circuit Court through their attor-
ney, L. E. Phillips, to-day for $50 900 dam
ages in each case.
The complaints in each case are similar.
and allege that the cargo in the Colima
was improperly slowed and allowed to
shift with the rolling of the steamer. and
that no attempt was made to stop its action.
Also that when the Colma left this CITY
she was in a topheavy condition from the
lumber slowed on the hurricane deck:
that upon leaving this port the vessel was
in immediate danger of laundering on
account of the cargo being so unevenly
slowed.
The complaints further allege that on
stopping at way ports prior to the vessels
loss large amount Of cargo was removed
from the hold and was not replaced in a
number of instances, what little that was
taken on board being negligently slowed
and allowed to shift at will and that never
at any time was there any effort made to
remove the deckload of lumber or to re-
place the coal consumed upon the trip,
which lightened the vessel considerably on
her keel and made disaster inevitable.
Another clause in the complaint alleges
that when the storm was at It's highest, no
attempt was made to pacify the passen-
gers, nor were they warned of the impend-
ing danger until the three blasts OF the
steamers whistle, and that that action was
only five minutes before the vessel went
down, being consequently too late for pas
sengers to save their lives.
1t is further alleged that no one was al
lowed to procure a life-preserver and that
when assistance from the ships officers
was requested it was not granted, while
those who were fortunate enough to pro-
cure life preservers were compelled to re-
place them as the officers stated that it
was too much trouble to return them to
their position.
The action of the officers of the steamer
San Juan is also commented upon in the
charges, and it is claimed that more dill
gent search for the shipwrecked passengers
should have been made.
Several persons who assisted in loading
the vessel have VOLUNTEERED their services
as witnesses,

THE AFFILIATED COLLEGES,
Five Sites Presented to the Board OF
Regents for Consideration.


The committee for the affiliated colleges
has presented five sites for the considera-
ton of the board of regents. One of these
will undoubtedly be chosen for the loca-
ton of the college.
Following are the. sites selected by the
committee: Adams-square site, opposite
Adams square; Sutro site, south of park;
Point Lobos road and Central avenue; a
lot back of the German Hospital, and the
Potrero-avenue site, between Sixteenth
and Seventeenth streets.
The matter will be discussed at the next
meeting of the committee on sites of the
board of regents and final decision will
then be reached.
DR.. McNutt stated that several lots had
been offered for nothing, but they were
not in suitable places. The committee
hopes that one of the sites under advise
ment will be donated to the college.
Mayor Sutro is thinking of presenting the
one that bears his name and may be in
duced to do so.
