LOG RATS A MENACE TO
SHIPS AND PASSENGERS
THOUSANDS OF LIVES ENDAN-
GERED BY DERELICTS.

The gigantic log RATS, whose tendency
to go off on cruises by themselves while
being towed from port TO port along the
Pacific Coast have rendered them q source
Of great danger to shipping, are doomed
Representatives of a number of influential
organizations Of San Francisco met in the
ferry building last night and organized a
committee for the purpose Of securing the
passage of a bill by Congress prohibiting
these unwieldy masses Of lumber from en-
tering or leaving any port on this coast
Among those present were: Cap
tain H. Taylor (presideut, p
\. Pippey secretary, Captain Z.
u. Harvey of the Masters and Pilots
Association, President Thomas Mcconnell
and John HoysOn of the Shlpwrights As
soCiatIon, Secretary \. Furuseth and w
Macarthur OF the Seamen's Union and
Captain Thomas Wallace Of the Pacific
Coast Steamship Company. Notice was
also received that James Tyson had been
appointed to represent the Chamber Of
Commerce and h. Jacobson TO represent
the Mutual Life Insurance Company. The
Calkers' Union and other organiza tions
viii also be represented on the commit
tee.
Captain Wallace voiced the sentiment cf
the meeting when he declared tLtU the
log RATS were the most TO be feared of
all dangers to sea navigation
Thousands of lives were endangered by
the raft of logs which has recently been
towed into this port after drifting about
for three weeks" he sa1d Fully 20 900
soldiers entered and left San Francisco
on the transports during that brief Pc
riod, in addition to the thousands of pas
sengers on other vessels. If any of these
ships had struck that raft they would
have gone to the bottom, and enormous
loss OF life would have resulted A dere-
hct raft is ike a huge rock out in mid
ocean with no signal lights to warn ap-
preaching vessels and no convenient shore
70 which passengers might escape after
the Wrec61ng OF their ship"
On motion of Captain Wallace. the sec
retary was instructed TO compile a tabu-
lated statement Of the number of ships
that arrived and departed from this port
while the dereltct raft was adrift, 90
gether with the number of passengers on
each and the value Of the ships and their
cargoes. This statement will be attached
to a petition which will be sent 10 every
member Of Congress, asking for an
amendment 10 the navigation laws pro-
hibiting log RATS from entering or Ieay-
ing port on the Pacific Coast
A bill of this kind was introduced at the
last session OF Congress and passed bv
the Senate, but failed to get through the
House owing to the pressure Of other
business. This time IT is proposed to keep
up the agitation until the measure is en-
acted into law An invitation was extend
ed TO all other organizations to send rep
resentattves TO cooperate with the com
mittee, and then an adjournment was
taken until next Wednesday night.
