acles and the lowlands:
Only Fifty Escape
"Of the passengers, IL have been saved,
10 bodies have been recovered and 80 are
missing; of the crew and cattlemen, 80 have
been saved, IA bodies have been recovered
and 81 are missing"
Since this statement was issued, nine
other bodies have been picked up, including
two that have been identified as those Of
passengers. The reports of the various
correspondents differ widely as to the res
cued, recoveries and losses, though none
have been able to obtain tho exact number
OF those saved or of the bodies recovered.
Bodies Recovered
The bodies of the following passengers
have been recovered:
T. W. King. Mr.. Fallows,
Edna King, B. Franklin Fuller,
Master King, Mrs. L. v. Luke,
James Blackley George Seymour,
Miss II. M. Cowen, Miss I. n. Warrener
Bodies Identified
The latest advices from Falmouth this
evening say that 3S bodies have been identi-
fed, mostly the bodies of sailors. Four
are as yet unidentified, including those of
two elderly ladies. One appears to be a
German. She wore n watch and we'd
ding ring, both engraved ISL" The other
wore silver brooch, with the letter d. in
pearls. This is probably the body of Mrs.
Charles Duncan. Nine of the bodies have
been brought to Falmouth, the others to
the village church at st. Keverine.
The rescued passengers are being shell
tered at cottages along the shore, and the
crew at the sailors homes at Falmouth.
Tugs have been cruising in the vicinity all
day, despite the very rough weather, in
hope of picking up other bodies.
Cause of Disaster
The cause of the disaster remains the pro-
fonndest mystery. Nobody attempts to
explain how the Michigan got 30 far north
Of her true course, from six to seven miles
There was no fog at the time, while the
wind on her port quarter was not sufficient
to prevent her answering the helm. 1t has
been suggested that her compass was faulty,
light was passed. The sailors say the fact
that the Lizard light was not visible should
have served to give the alarm.
The masts of the Michigan, which are
above water, show that her stern is land
ward, causing theory that the navigation
officer, on discovering that he was in the
bay, suddenly turned seward. Two en-

Formed

The committee appointed at the last meet
ing of the University club called a meeting
of those interested in the proposed new
charter at the Southern California Music
hail last evening. A hundred responded to
the invitation, and ex-Mayor Workman was
made chairman.

cussing the charter in general, dealing es-
pecially with the objections to the increased
powers given to the mayor, characterizing

the new charter, although otherwise he had
no objections to its adoption.
A form of constitution to govern the new
charter club was then presented by w. J.
Variel and adopted. According to its pro-
visions r. II. F. Varel was elected presi-
dent; w. Fl. Workman, vice president; w.
L. Burbank, secretary, and j. w. Hart.
treasurer The bylaws provide that these
officers and three other members to be ap-
pointed by the chair shall constitute the
executive committee, which shall have power

tee have not yet been named.
