BADLY DAMAGED.
Vessel Which Was in Collision
With the Walla WalIa
Is lowed Into Port in Almost
a Sinking Condition.

San Francisco, Jan. 6.-The French
bark Marx, Capt. Benoist, which was
in collision with and sank the steamer
Walla Walla, causing the loss Of about
20 lives and which was towed to this
port last night was badly damaged in
the accident. Her jib boom made of hol-
low steel was broken and twisted, and
the tip of it trailed in the water on the
port side of the vessel and at about
right angle with the line of the hull.
Her stem was twisted and great gaping
holes had been torn in her bow. There
was one almost at the water line and
another a few feet above. Only her wa
ter tight compartments kept her from
sinking.
The French vessel left Glasgow 12o
days ago bound for this port. She was
in ballast and consigned to Frederick
Henry. Her captain had little to say
regarding the disaster, except that his
vessel was closely following the rules
of the road when the steamer came
under the bows of his bark. He de-
clared that the lights of the Marx were
properly burning and displayed and
that the men of his crew saw the steam
er for a long time before the collision.
He said:
1--WE could think of no reason why the
men on the steamer did not see us and
as the vessels approached we became
anxious. Then it was too late. The
steamer had tried to cross our bows,
but had failed. Just before the crash
came the steamer swung slightly to
port as though an effort was being
made to pass to our stern but the
change in her course had been made
too late. The bark struck the steamer
almost amidships on the port side. For
a moment they hung together and then
drifted apart. Our vessel was SO badly
damaged that we thought she would
sink and under the circumstances we
had all we could do to take care of our
selves. BY daylight we had beaten
well out toward the sea and were safe
from the breakers. but our vessel was
to a great measure unmanageable.
sOn Saturday morning we accepted a
tow from the steam schooner Acme
which was aided by the cutter McCul-
loch.''
The captain added that he thought
that the lookout on the Walla Wal1a
was intoxicated, but this charge is en-
phatically denied by Captain Hall of
that vessel who says there were three
men on watch at the time. Second Of
ficer LIE Chavalier of the Marx told sub
stantially the same story as the cap
tain.

PASSES ARE ALL READY.
Railway Officials Apparently Waiting
For Collapse of Agreement.

ST Louis railway officials are in very
much the same fix Topeka officials are.
They are asking one another, What do
you know about passes? '' And the same
reply, Il don't know; do you?' is heard
in every case.
The ST. Louis Republic says: "Oh-
Gals of roads with headquarters in st.
Louis, lines members of associations in
anti-pass territory wink the other eye,
and then recall former failures of anti
pass agreements. And then many of
these same officials say they think the
agreement will hold. Yet they are wait
ing. Roads in st. Louis that are not in
any anti-pass agreement, except the
usual annual agreement to cut down
the free list have stacks of passes made
out, ready to distribute over all the
United States, in case the agreement
falls in line with the agreements of
other years 1t is said that lines mem
bers of the anti-pass agreement also
have piles of passes made out, as in
former years, ready to send out, just
as though they expected the anti-paSS
agreement to fall through.
For the last few weeks lines with
headquarters in st. Louis have been
working all departments overtime max
ing out passes. In every office type
writer's were turning out passes for one
person, two persons, one person and his
family and uncles. one person and a
whole coach, while the high officials sat
by and signed them, having an air that
the work was disagreeable.''

1t hurries up the operation by what is
known as the ZEN Urgency clause" This
emergency clause has the power of
temporarily abolishing the state con-
stitution- 1t is as follows: THE fact
that the law as it now is works a use
less hardship on many citizens and rail-
roads in this state, and that injustice
is daily done by reason thereof, creates
an emergency, and an imperative pub
lie necessity, that the constitutional
rule requiring bills to be read on three
several days be suspended and that this
act take effect and be in force from and
after it's passage, and said rule is here
by suspended, and it is so enacted"
The emergency clause always works
well. The Texas legislature is solid,
and the record of the vote on railway
legislation is invariable unanimous in
both branches of the legislative body.

rail is the time he loses waiting for
trains. Most of the smaller interior
towns have only one two trains a
day. The salesman may have only one
or two customers in that town, and he
may get through his business there in
an hour, but he must wait for hours,
perhaps whole day for train to take
him to the next town. And most of the
statesmen who visit the smaller towns
spend hundreds of dollars a year for
livery service. The salesman with an
automobile would leave a town as soon
as he was through, his machine would
travel as fast as an ordinary way train
and he would make nearly twice as
many towns in year, and at much less
expense than he does now by rail-
when we have these great and per-
feet highways gridironing the country,
which will come as a result of the gem
eral use of automobiles, there will be a

fathers and all the romance that went

Old Stuyvesant Property Passes to
Strangers.

New York, Jan. "a plot of land in
Fourteenth street, adjoining on the east
the site on which stands the Fourteenth
Street Presbyterian church, has just
been sold by ]. Edgar Leaycraft & Co.
for Rutherford StuyveSant to Mandel
baum & Levine. This plot was owned
in 1913 by Peter Stuyvesant, who was
about that time governor in chief Of
Amsterdam, in New Netherlands, now
called New York, and for many years
it was part of his famous great
Bouwerie farm. The property has been
in the possession of his descendants ever
since he bequeathed it to them until the
recent sale, when it passed out of the
possession of the StuyveSant family.
Near the site Governor Stuyvesant
planted a pear tree which he brought
from Holland in 1647. The tree was cut
down in 1857
