OIL BLAZING ON A VESSEL
Cargo Of the William Law on Fire
Off Staten Island.
Great Difficulty in Getting the
Flames Under roI-She Is
Run Aground and Flooded

New York, Feb. 6.-F'ire was discov-
cred in the cargo of kerosene oil on board
the ship William Law, at anchor off
Stapleton, S. T.. early this morning. The
Law is a full-rigged steel ship of 1851
registered tonnage, and is owned by
Law & Company, of Yarmouth NJ s.
Her cargo consisted of II 900 cases of
oil.
The crew, consisting of TWENTY-FIVE
men, was turned out in a hurry and an
attempt was made TO find the fire. The
after cabin was too full of smoke for
anyone to be able to get to the small
hatch in the sail room, which opens off
the cabin on the starboard side. Two of
the sailors who tried to reach this hatch
were overcome and had to be dragged
out to the deck. Two fire boats and a
steam lighter came to the ships aid, but
with the crews and boats of all boats
working it still increased There was a
good deal of hesitation over opening the
main hatch, but ii was finally torn away,
the cargo broken cut, and every avail
able stream of water from the three YES
sells at hand turned down the hatch
way.
Soon after this il was seen that it
would be necessary to fill the ship with
water, and she was towed toward shore
till she ran aground. BY 1890 o'clock
there was twelve feet of water in the
hold, and the smoke was growing less.
BY noon the hold was full to the upper
deck and only then was there any feel
ing of safety aboard the ship. A diver
was sent down the hole in the after
cabin floor. who reported that the fire
seemed to have started in the lower
hold and to have burned a large hole
through the lower deck.
In the afternoon the work of pumping
out the water was begun.

New York, Feb. 6.-Curious persons
who crowded Grand Union Hall this
afternoon and again tonight in the
hope that one or more of the thirty-five
Mormon elders at the conference would
receive q message from God and reveal
it, went back to their homes with the
idea that Mormon meetings did not diff
fer from ordinary church services to a
degree which made them interesting
at least. when no revelations were
made However. TO those in the con-
gregation who had accepted the new
truths revealed by the Elder Smith,
there was much significance in the re
marks of Congressman King, of Salt
Lake City, who came from Washington
to lend his efforts to a succeSful ISSUE
of the conference His speech was de-
voted To the glorification of Mormonism
and an impassioned appeal for con-
verts. When he had concluded. Elder
James Ingerbretson, a young Mormon,
of ogden, Utah. declared that Con-
gressman King had spoken as directed
by God.
DO you mean that he has had a
revelation?" inquired a reporter.
Yes. and no. 1t could scarcely be
called revelation IN the SENSE liidt IL
was a specific communication or an IN
struction. 1t was simply that he de-
pended entirely on God to give him his
argument and to enable him logically
and forcefully to explain our faith TO
the congregation.
Congressman Kings revelation was
an ordinary sermon, the burden OF
which was the question whether If God
existed it was irrational to believe in
His power to communicate with peo-
pie.
Elder Ingerbretson also spoke. 1t is
said a church will be established in
Brooklyn or New York within six
months

half of these will probably deny that they are in want, but the fact remains and is plain to even the most casual ob- server. The ground lies absolutely bare of verdure of any kind. Even the live oak trees are brown and sere and only the stubbIe of the scant crop which was raised two years ago re- mains to show that the white and parched earth ever yielded anything that contained sustenance for man or beast I saw the members of the com mittee appointed at the Lockwood meeting and from their lips got stories of destitution that are heart-rending, and even as they spoke the distress o1 their neighbors their own sorry plight could be read in the drawn look and quivering lips.
 No man whom I have seen to-day has admitted to me that he needed as- sistance, yet but one of all to whom 1 spoke is in a condition to carry his family through the season without aid Of these 300 families requiring aiG none are of the improvident class that is al- ways a burden. All are farmers and the great majority are owners of farms ranging from 160 to 800 acres. Most of these farms are unincumbered and with the taxes fully paid up, and the ques- ton naturally arises why do they not mortgage their property. Two illustra-

not be necessary for any one to receive charge of the matter has been appoint ed by the Governor of California This committee will doubtless authorize responsible agents to obtain a list of the families in distress, but it does not follow that the information so obtained will be imparted to the public. Since an adequate sum of money has been raised and since a committee has been named by the Governor to supervise the distribution of supplies, 1t can be said in a general way that persons other than members or agents of the committee, who represent themselves as collectors and distributors of relief funds, are rank impostors and should be treated as such.
 When the Legislature convenes there will be in the State treasury the sum of $4 1000, ,000. At present the amount ex- ceeds S2, ,000, 900, but it cannot be appro- priated for any use until an act of the Legislature authorizes appropriation. The Governor, observing that the State has appropriated more than S1,OOO. 900 for the support of agricultural fairs, in which horseracing is the chief feature of the rural display, contends that there is ample authority to use the public funds to relieve actual distress among the farmers. He is confident that one of the first acts of the incom- ing Legislature will be the enactment of a measure to reimburse Claus

Spreckels for the money advanced on the credit of the State to help the dis tressed farmers of Monterey and San Luis Obispo counties.
 When Governor Budd went to MT. Dohrmann's place of business yester- day to ask MT. Dohrmann to serve on the committee, he found a solicitor there importuning the merchant for a relief contribution. The Governor put an end to the soliciting negotiation by the prompt remark: There is no need, MT. Dohrmann, of making any contri- buttons to this cause. I am the Gov ernor of the State; I understand the situation and am in position to take care of the distressed farmers. The great State of California is not asking or authorizing any one to solicit relief. All the money needed is raised and what desire now is proper and time

tressed farmers. The greatest danger now confronting the State is that an army of beggars will take the field and in the name of starving humanity seek to collect money for needy farmers.
 Among the letters received by The Call yesterday was the following:
 SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 19. 1S9S Editor Call-Dear Sir: Referring to your several articles calling for relief of the poor at the settlement of Lockwood Monterey County, we desire to say that we have received to-day donations to the amount of 1920, and are willing to receive further gifts in cash or orders for pro- visions, which latter we hope that the railroad company will forward free of freight charges.
 We propose to send you daily for pub lication a list of any donations received by us. We have written to the Relief list of the families in distress and of the quantity of provisions needed.
 Would it not be best to name a com mittee to take charge of this matter? If such committee be named or should organize itself we desire to turn over any funds in our hands to the same.
 Yours truly.

It is not the poverty that is seen in the cities among people who are improyident and always poor. It is the blighting touch of misfortune that has withered the energies and is sapping the lives of a large farming community which has struggled against adverse circuTnstan- ces for four years without murmur of complaint until now it has reached a point where it is either death by star vation or immediate aid from the moro fortunate people of the State.

 The Governors interruption upset the solicitor but gratified MT. Dohrmann. Doubtless many other merchants were interviewed yesterday and urged to get in and give something to somebody.
 The sentiment of the mercantile com munity as expressed yesterday after the fact was made known that Mir. Spreckels had advanced money to af- ford ample relief was to the effect that no further mention of the distress should be publicly made. The point was raised that the distress was con

It was suggested that no further reference should be made to the subject until the committee was able to render a report of the distribution of the relief funds.

The Dog Saved a Life.

pat" is the name of the dog that
saved the life of a man found on the
Michigan Central tracks one day last
week He is very respectable, good
natured fellow, with exemplary habits
and rot altogether unknown to fame
even before the events took place an
account of which was given in last
Thursday Free Press On the occa-
sion mentioned this dog was instru-
mental in saving the life of an un-
known man who was lying insensible
on the tracks between Vinewood ave-
hue ard the Boulevard subway. The
| dog was we'll known to nearly every
newsboy in the west end of the city
below Michigan avenue His owner,
John McDease, lad of II years. re-
sides with his parents at 80 Four
teenth avenue, and has carried the
Free Press" ever since he was large
enough. Pat is immensely popular
with all who know him, on account of
his fine disposition. A man who lives
near where he is owned states that
it is no uncommon sight to see this dog
drawing a half-dozen boys on skates,
hanging on to each other, the boy in
the lead having hold of the dogs tail.
Thomas Fitzpatrick, who lives at
669 Virewood avenue, and at whose
house the man whom the dog was in
strumental in saving was warmed and
fed, says that after his attention was
called to the dog he followed him until
he saw something on the track, which
proved to be Le body of man lying
in such a position that he would have
been cut in two had a train happened
along. As soon as the dog, which was
some distance in the lead, reached the
PROSTATE form, he began to tug at the
coat collar of the unconscious man,
vainly trying to drag him out of dan
ger. This persistent Juggling seemed
10 half arouse the poor fellow from the
stupor into which he had fallen. and
by. The time Mr.. Fitzpatrick arrived on
the scene he was rubbing his eyes and
vainly trying to rise, but he was so
weak that even after he was placed
upon bis feet he could not walk with
out assistance.
The dog seemed beside himself with
joy when he realized that he had sue
ceeded in interesting some one He
capered and whined, lay down and
rolled over and whirled in canine ecs-
tasy as he saw the man removed from
the track. When he had satisfied him
self that he had done his whole duty
he went chasing after his good friends,
the newsboys, two of whom had as
sisted Mr.. Fitzpatrick in removing the
helpless man from the track. There
was great excitement among the
newsboys of the West End when they
heard that their favorite had been play
ing the role of hero and saved a hu-
man life. ''McDease's dog" is the
