present For ITO endless days the Biar- fitz was horror ship" where men fought the raging elements and the ravages of pestilence. First came the wrath of the sea, then the black hand Of scurvy, and in the end came more storms to pursue the stricken ship to the very gate of the harbor.
 Four of the crew of the Bia1ritZ were i'll with the scurvy when the vessel dropped anchor. All were haggard and p!nched and the the looks of men who had suffered hardships untol1. Some clamored for food; others, ill the first clutches of disease, were too weak to drag their tired bodies along the deck.
 With coal from Cardiff the Biarr;tz set sail for the California coast. Off Cape Horn the battle for life began. Hurricanes that came from all points of the compass drove the vessel far from her course. Time and again she was thrown oil her beam ends with lee rail submerged Lifeboats were crushed by the sea like eggshells. The decks, galley and forecastle were the playgroUnds for the seething waves. Ruin was spread everywhere by the salt water.
 For fortyhve days the gales tossed the vessel. and during those trying days Captain Robinot and his men worked tirclessly. The skipper match cd his skill against the fury of the clements, and in the end he won.
 And in the midst of their struggles the men were compelled to suffer tho rigors of winter in the antarctic zone. Binding snoWStormS were of frequent occurrence. The lines and rigging of the ship were coated with ice, and the frostbitten hands of the sailors attest the sufferings they underwent Then. too, say the men, the supply of water ran short, and they shoveled the snow from the forecastle head to fill the tanks again.
 Out of the snows and storms of the antarctic the BiarritZ sailed into the sleepy calm of the tropics. There the seurvy attacked the men. For days luG Slllp lOiltl itllS WILL SollS ing slack. The hot sun beat down on deck with nerciless glare. The men drank the tepid water and ate of the salt food. They fought and grumbled in their idlcness. They felt the dis ease coming on and cried out for more and better f0Ad.
 Then the wind came and the ship sailed out of the doldrums. The strength of the men was renewed, and all but four of them returned to their tasks. With fair winds the ship foamed northward until off the California coast. The gales swooped down on the ship again. In the heavy storm the vessel narrowly escaped being driven on the rocks of the Mendocino coast. The seas that swept the decks carried everything before them. The first mate was picked up and carried over the side. He managed to grasp rope and was hauled back on deck again. =.
 Cheated of their prey, the elements harassed the ship until she reached the shelter of the San Francisco harbor. When coming over the bar the seas were so heavy that 1t requiredS four men to keep the vessel on her course
 The men complained to the federal officers who boarded the vessel of the treatment accorded them. They exhib- ited bread as black and hard as the iron deck. on which they said they were compelled to subsist

SAN FRANCISCO FIRM FAILS
WiIson-Lyon Construction Company
Suspends, Offering Creditors
Part Payment
Ev Associated Press

BY Associated Press
SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 13.-The Bull
letin says:
A failure involving outstanding LA
bilities of over 100000 and a new loss
to creditors of at least $l5O,000 is the
latest shock in San Francisco business
circles. The Wilson-Lyon Construction
company will close its affairs, but
whether it will be allowed to settle on
pro rata basis or will be forced into
bankruptcy remains to be determined.
The firm desired to escape compulsory
insolvency and has proffered part pay
ment of it's debts. Some of it's numer-
Gus creditors have agreed to accept the
offer but others are holding out and de-
manding dollar for dollar.
Nearly all the stock of the company
is held by Hugh and Dennis Dimond,
who few years ago inherited an eX-
tensiVe estate in Alameda county. Their
alleged lack of business experience is
given as the cause Of their financial
troubles.

Communication With Steamer Chero

Hoped For
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
ATLANTIC CITY, N. j.. Jan. 13-
The sixty persons who comprise the
passengers and crew of the big Clyde
line steamer Cherokee, which went
ashore early yesterday on Brigantne
shoals. are completely cut off from the
outside world tonight. Not since 4
o'clock this afternoon has there been
a signal from the vessel. At that hour
the captain signalled that all were
well and that the vessel was lying easy
with it's nose stuck deep in the sand.
Earlier in the day signal had been
received from the stranded steamer
asking that lighters be sent out as soon
as possible. When this message was
received word was dispatched to the
Delaware breakwater for the lighters
and they were expected to reach the
Cherokee early tomorrow morning.
Rumors were in circulation here to-
day that the crew of the Brigantine
Life-saving station had been lost
while returning to the shore from the
Cherokee. Communication with the
Cherokee dispelled the fears of the
friends of the life-savers when it was
learned that the men were safe on
board the stranded vessel.
Old captains who are familiar with
the coast say there is no danger of
the Cherokee going to pieces as long
as her bow can be kept in the soft
bed of the sand. The only danger. they
say, will be in the waves striking the
vessel broadside and throwing it over.
The wind tonight had fallen tC
about thirty miles an hour and hope
is entertained that before morning
the gale will have spent its force.

ANOTHER TRIAL FOR MAN WIG
FOUGHT BRANCH

Court artiaI of John Paul Miller
Is Resumed
BY Associated Press.

ANNAPOLIS, Md, Jan. 13.-Midship-
man Meriwether of louisiana who at
tained much notOriety by engaging i'll
Il fist fight with Midshipman James X.
Branch, i'm which the latter received
fatal injuries, has been placed under
arrest ON the charge of hazing. The
charge is supported by six specifica-
tions alleging the hazing of several
different fourth class men by requir-
ing them to do difficult physical eXer-
cises.
The court-martial which took up the
case of Midshipman John Paul Miller
of Lancaster, Ky, charged with haz-
| ing, resumed its session this morning.
The specifications, the lack of proper
form of which caused the postpone
/ ment of the case yesterday had been
corrected at the Office of superintendent
and the case proceeded. Midshipman
| Miller introduced as his counsel Col.
Charles H. Lauchheimer, u. S. Nj. c.,
and Mr.. Theall of Washington, ID. g.

f. Donelson of PaWnee, Oklahoma, by
compelling them to perform number 16,
together. Miller if he is acquitted will
graduate on the 18th of next month,
| and his scholastic standing VIII not
be below No 3 in the class of over 100
Midshipman Miller pleaded not guilty
to the charges and specifications. The
first witness was Midshipman Max e.
Demott. He said he had been i'm Mil
! ler's room one night, having been told
to go there initiating an automobile
with Canine, Cooper and Donelson.
Canine was the headlight Cooper was
a chauffeur and Donelson was the horn
and Demott the exhaust.
Cooper was supposed to twist Donel-
sons ear to stop but he fell down and
he went around the room several times.
! Miller then told us to do the sixteen
and we did it. He told us to go on and
report to Boyd's room at $50. Several
times after that we were i'm his room
and had to do the sixteen -
The first hazing, he said, took place
shortly after the West Point game, De-
Cember ,, 1905.
At the conclusion of Demott's testi-
mony the court cOmpimented him upon
the manly and straightforward manner
in which he had given his testimony.

COURTS TO NAME
WINNER OF RACE
PASADENA CHARI0TEERS ASK
LEGAL AID
Judges Give Race to West and OH
Prepares to Enioin Payment
of Thousand Dollar
Prize

The question as to the winner of the
first and second prizes in the chariot
races of New Years day at Pasadena
must be settled by the courts.
This is the dictum of the board of
managers of the tournament as ex-
pressed last night by President Neff
following the receipt of the written
report Of the judges.
A meeting of Rev. Baker p Lee,
Walter S. Newhall and d. M. Linnard.
the three judges of the races at the
park, was held yesterday afternoon at
Pasadena and written report of the
findings with reference to the chariot
races was placed in President Nef's
hands.
Regarding the case under discussion
the report says: "In reference to the
particular race between West and Wig
gins at Tournament park on January
| your judges have decided that the
start in said race was fair and that
in the finish West came in first under
the wire. 1t is alleged that foul
was committed on the stretch opposite
the judges stand at a point where a
field Judge was supposed to be sta
toned by the direction of the tourna-
ment master. The statement of this
field Judge is that h- was off duty at
the time. Owing TO this fact we feel
that we would not be justified i'm taking
testimony on this point and therefore
submit this information
This statement formally shifts the
final decision to the shoulders of the
board of managers Of the association.
Charioteer off, whose horses Mac Wig
gins was driving in the final heat,
when the alleged foul was committed,
has notified President Neff that any
attempt at paying the first money to
West as the winner will be enjoined
by application to the courts, and it is
understood that West is also ready to
force his rights in a legal manner.
After carefully considering the con-
dition it has been decided to let the
courts decide without more ado. West
will therefore get the money, as the
judges have announced, although Mr..
off will be given the opportunity he de-
sires to stop the actual paying over of
the cash by an order from the court.

FLEET To SEEK
FOR THE DEWEY
FEARS THAT DRYDOCK MAY
BE DISABLED
Entire North Atlantic Squadron Or
dered to Search for Her-Gale
Delays Departure Of the
War Vessels
specIal to The Herald.

Special to The Herald
NORFOLK, Va, Jan. 13-Fearing
that drydock Dewey, which is at sea
off the Virginia cost, has been disabled
or lost in the terrific gale which has
swept the coast the last two days, the
war department today ordered the en-
tire North Atlantic squadron to proceed
at once in search of the big vessel.
The wind on the coast had reached
a velocity of sixty miles and the squad
ron was afraid to put to sea in such
tempest. The first of the vessels will
leave Norfolk harbor at noon tomor-
row, the others following at intervals
of five hours.
The vessels will signal for the Dewey
by wireless telegraph and will continue
to search until she has been found or
some trace of her discovered. If the
ship should be found disabled and
helpless she will be towed in by the
fleet. 1t is most probable that the
drydock is helpless in a trough of
great sea. Naval men in Norfolk state
tonight there is little chance she is
not helpless, nothing having been
heard of her for some days. The
storm on the coast is one of the most
terrific in years.

BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press
SAN JUAN, Porto Rico, Jan. 13.-The
United States gunboat Dubuque ar
rived here at o'clock this morning
from Santo Domingo and at 5 O'Clock
started on her return to San Domingo
city, which place was left without a
warship when she sailed from Porto
Rico.
On board the Dubuque was General
Carlos f. Morales, former president of
Santo Domingo. He is suffering from
broken ankle, and navy hospital
ambulance was waiting when the ves-
sci arrived to convey him to the hos
pital. His injury resulted from a fail
from his horse December "a and since
that time he has been without medical
attention. General Morales is reported
to have been within a dozen miles of
San Domingo city when he arranged
with the American minister, Mr.. Daw-
son. to resign the presidency, and was
brought into the city by his secretary,
Enrique Jiminez. Officers of the Du-
buque say that General Morales has
no funds and that his entire luggage
consisted of two trunks. He remarked
to Commander Fechteler of the Du-
buque that. being financially embar-
rassed, he would be forced to seek en-
ployment and that he hoped to secure
this in Panama.
The Dubuque reported quiet in Santo
Domingo. Monte Christi will probably
be invaded next week by General
CaCeres.
