AFTER ,EVENTFUL VOYAGE
Arrival of the German Ship Octavia
at Los Angeles, Cal.
Three scamen Dead. the Mate Dying
md the Sailniaker in Irons as
the Result of Drink.

Los Angeles, Cal. Nov. 25.-The Ger
man ship Octavia 143 days out from
Antwerp, with cargo of cement and
steel rails to Port Los Angeles, dropped
anchor a mile off shore OF the latter
port Monday. The captain of the YES
sci brought ashore his first officer in
dying condition, and had him conveyed
to hospital in this city.
The Octavia arrived in port with the
sailmaker in irons, charged with MUIR
der, and the vessels log showed three
sailors buried at sea.
The story, SO far as it can be learned
portends an unusual tragedy on the
high seas 1t seems that shortly after
rounding the Horn, the sailmakers who,
it is said, was bringing heavily, began
making trouble among the crew, anc
induced three sailors to join him in Q
raid upon the whisky portion OF thf
cargo. In an ensuing drunken fight the
three sailors assaulted and severely
beat the sailmaKer. Subsequently the
sailmaker induced the same three meL
to make a second raid on the cargo
and it is said purposely caused them tc
drink of a carboy Of carbolic acid, anc
tiny died.
1t is supposed that the first Officer
also drank of the poison, and that MS
present dying condition is resultant.
1t is impossible at tbs time to give
names, inasmuch as the vessel has no
been. officially declared in port.
The captain, 1t 10 Understood, ma
communicated with the German vice
consul at San Francisco, and with the
corsiences of the OctaV.o's cargo.

WATERS MAY STRIKE
FOR INCREASED WAGES
Employees Association Takes Action
Looking to That End, if It's De-
mand Is Not Granted.

Rumor has it that the Hotel and
Restaurant Employees Association of
Washington may strike on December /
should the employers refuse to grant
an increase Of wages. This the en-
ployes deny. They admit, however
they are not satisfied with the wages
they now receive and have asked for
an increase. The idea of a strike has
not entered their minds. they say, be-
cause they feel confident the raise
viii come without resorting to drastic
measures
This request or demand from the
walters comes at the busy season, and
they know the employers have but one
thing to do, and that is accede to the
demand.
This action was decided upon at
meeting of the walters held recently at
Bartenders' Hall, near Ninth and z
Streets northwest. Another meeting will
be held next Tuesday evening in the
same hall.
At present walters receive a salary Of
about 81 a week. They have asked for
