draughts. The man who had
no friend aboard and who came
off unscathed was happy man
indeed.
The news, of the disaster trav-
eled quickly. When the Sausa>
Tito entered her slip on her return
trip the employees at the dock
scented the calamity. Hardly had
the boat made fast when the
crowd sursed forward. Dripping
men, terror-stricken women and
children, excited almost to deli
rum, rushed over the gangplank
in great confusion. Telephones
were in demand by the thought
ful ones. Through the town the
news was disseminated and with
in an hour the crowds around the
bulletin-boards read the awful
story. What San Francisco had
been fearing for years had at last
come to pass.

JAMES McCUE STRUCK
BY FLYING TIMBERS
AND BADLY INJURED

James s. McCue. the well-known horse
man and old-time circus man. who lives at
Corte MADEIRA. was probably about the
most seriously injured Of the survivors.
He was in the restaurant of the San Ra-
fael at the time of the collision and was
thrown across the room with considerable
violence. He had his right arm broken,
his right ear almost torn from his head
and sustained internal injuries which may
prove very serious. He is at present in
the Central Emergency Hospital.
He relates his experiences as follows:
I was sitting at the head of the table in the
ladies' department of the restaurant There
were three other passengers at the table. When
the crash came / was sent spinning across the
place. / found myself In a corner with my
arm broken and my ear hanging down the side
OF my face. When recovered from the shock

This was about twenty minutes after the
accident. There did not seem to be much
discipline displayed by the officers of the
San Rafael. The work was done by the
passengers rather than by the crew of
that boat, After the San Rafael went
down we drifted about ain.lessly, and
about an hour later we were told by a

and the children still rang in their
ears, and they feared that many
more were lost than was at first
supposed.

PASSING BOAT GIVES NO AID.
The San Rafael sank slowly.
While the cries of the affrighted
were mingled with the throaty
turmoil of the fog horns, a boat
passed near the scene of the ac-
cident. Immediately shout of
distress went up. Men on the
passing boat answered the cries
of the distressed, but no help was
given. Soon after the San Ra-
fael disappeared with fierce sue
ton. Then all was calm and quiet
save the piercing fog whistle.
Drenched to the skin, those
who were rescued or saved them
selves scattered about the water
front. Men, coatless, colorless
and hatless, with scared looks in
their eyes, stood chattering on
the street corners. Some still
wore the life-preservers and
would not give them up. Others
came uptown and hurried to

an eyewitness can picture in his
mind the wild, chaotic fear mani

crowd, pushing. trampling, fight
ing in the fullness of their terror.
ORDER TO MAN BOATS.
Orders to man boats were
given by Captain Mckenzie of
the San Rafael as soon as he real-
lied the full meaning of the coll
lision. One crowd of twelve
jumped into a lifeboat and were
lowered, but soon after swamped
They .clung to the gunwales of
the small boat and were rescued.
There were men and women in
this lot and all were saved. One
mother, in her excitement, fas-
tened life-preserver around her
child, little boy, and then threw
him into the water. He was
saved. But these means OF es-
cape were taken only by those
who suffered a great confusion of
mind. To the more collected,
after the first panic, the easiest
road to safety was to jump from
one boat to another. By far the
greater majority escaped this
way.
Then the Sausalito lowered her
boats and began picking man,
woman and child from impro-
vised RATS, boats and ropes that
were let down from the unin-
jured ferry-boat. Men clung to
these ropes until nothing but
their grit was left of them. Bodies

cally and men cursed. 1t was a
fight for life, each one for HIM
self. Incidents of bravery there
were, but they are locked Up in
the breasts of those who partici-
pated in them. The darkness and
the dense, murky fog made each
mans fight his own.
PANIC SEXES CROWD.
In the cabin the crowd congre-
gated, or down in the warm sa
loon men played cards or drank
their cocktails. Even before the
San Rafael pulled out of the slip
there were few of the $50 passen-
gers who were not timorous
about the trip across the bay.
Waiting minute by minute many
of the women had their nerves
at the highest pitch before the ac
cident occurred. Men less fear
full of prospective evil walked the
upper deck straining their eyes
for ships that pass in the night.
When the crash came the vision
of possible sudden death held all
in vise-like grip. Action came
after the recoil.
4 When the San Rafael keeled
over to the port side from the
effect of the shock the cabin pas
sengers lost control of them
selves. Windows were smashed,
and instead of reaching the deck
by means of the ordinary door
exits they tore their hands and
faces climbing through the opkn-
ings of shattered glass. Then
came the confusion in the search
for life-preservers. The San Ra>

New York, Jan. 15-The Herald says:
Whether or not the championship bat
tie between James j. Jeffries and Gus

IL, depends entirely upon the action of
the directors Of the Saengerfest Athletic
association of that city. Mayor Fleisch-
man, of that city. said last night that
he would issue a permit for the contest
two days before the date set. The di-
reCtors of the Saengerfest Athletic asso-
citation assured his honor that the bout
between Jeffries and Rubin would be
strictly in accordance with the laws of
Ohio. Mayor Fleischman said he be-
lieved that the Cincinnati promoters had
him.
For the last ten years we have had
sparring contests in CINCINNATI said
the mayor. "TheSe events have been
held by athletic clubs in some cases, and
in other instances in our theaters. They

the requirement for imprinting the word

the paper wrappings but upon the box
es enclosing the packages would insure
the public against fraud. He said the

REIGN Of VICE
IN NEW YORK
BISHOP POTTER TALKS ABOUT
ITS SUPPRESSION.
The GET TOGETHER CLUB
UNION LABEL OF MORALITY Is
WANTED FOR THE TENE-
MENT HOUSES.

New York, Jan. 15.-Bishop Potter
presided at a meeting of the Get To-
gether club, Brooklyn, last night, and in
the course Of his opening remarks said:
THE subject of the evening is After
SuppressiOn-What? and I suppose I
must say something as to this title. I
confess that If had the authority of
prescribing the subject I should change
it to read The Anti-Vice Crusade; Be
fore Suppresson-What? for I have
grave doubts as to the immediate sup
preston of vice, and I have met many
who are equally doubtful.
1--WE may undoubtedly DO a great deal
in civic matters and make vice less In
decent, less insolent. The mere suppress
sion is not enough
The bishop then read an extract from
a newspaper describing the settlement
Of the East Side bakers strike, and how
men stood outside Of the strikers head
quarters and shouted to the passers-by
that the strike had been settled, ana
that hereafter the people would get
good, pure and clean bread on which
union labels had been placed.
"What we want" said the bishop, 'is
good pure tenement houses on which
the union labels of morality have been
placed. The only piece of advice I gave
to those who came to me when the COM
mittee of fifteen was appointed was that
at least two representatives Of labor
should be placed on the committee, ana
that the committee should recognize all
classes. We have organized this cru,
sade not only for the crushing out OF
vice, but for the triumph of virtue
Bishop Potter then introduced William
Baldwin, who spoke on THE Committee
of Fifteen: It's Origin, Scope and Pur-
pose" Mr. Baldwin talked at some
| length on the congested conditions ex-
| listing on the East Side and the preva-
lence of vice there. AS to the remedies,
| he said:
i "Partisanship would ruin the attempt
| we are making to reform conditions: any
suspicion of partisanship would ruin the
movement. The greatest mistake we
| could now make would be to breed :kly-
thing sensational. We should have no
false notions that anyone can stop what
is called vice. Our duty4is to stop the
public trade in vice. We must clean the
streets Think of the thousands of chii-
dren here in New York tonight who are
| not safe. Think of the wives that are
| in danger. Your own wives and chill
tren are at home, safe and secure from
harm, but the wives and children on the
| East Side are not. l would kill the man
who touched one of my children. The
people soon get tired of these questions
and drop them after the first agita ton.
This time we have got to stay with
the problem-this year, next year ana
! the year after. Now that we have start
ed the movement, we must keep it up.

into an era Of virtue and morality and
