TIE SANTA MARIA
WAS NEARLY LOST
OIL STEAMER SAVED FROM THE
ROCKS AFTER A LONG SrRUG-
GLE BY TWO TUGS.

SAN FRANCISCO, August Am
eleven hour battle waged by two
stanch little tugs against the swift
tidal currents of the bay finally saved
the splendid oil steamer Santa Maria
from destruction on the rocks off Fort
Point this morning, but not until hope
had been almost abandoned in the
watches of the night. Time and again
it seemed as though the big vessel
must drift upon the jagged points
which pierce the surface of the water
just off the revolving light on the
southern shore, but the small putting
towboats kept doggedly at their task
and with full steam pressure managed
to keep the Santa Maria in deep wa
ter until she could proceed under her
own power, which had been Temperate
ly crippled.
The accident to the Santa Maria was
particularly unfortunate, as she was
making her first trip after extensive
repairs, stem and stern. She is $780,
600 steel craft, belonging to the Union
Oil Company, and was considered in
first-class shape, as she had been
laying up for some time until 100000
worth of work on her had been fin
lshed.
Yesterday Captain Darling started
to take her on her initial voyage to
Port Hartford after her period of rest.
She was proceeding nicely, when just
off Fort Point near the place the Ala
media was wrecked, her oil-burners
baked.
The Santa Maria began to drift rap
idly and would undoubtedly have
heaved herself upon the rocks had it
not been for the Sea Rover, which was
just coming through the heads after
towing out the ship w. H. Macy. The
captain of the tug saw the distress OF
the big vessel and quickly made for
her. receiving a cast line However,
the Rover could not save the craft
alone, and word was sent to the city.
Superintendent Landell of the oil COM
pany hurried out on the tug Sea Witch.
The two tugs stayed by her for elev-
en- hours, while the currents sucked
her gradually in toward the rocks In
the meaitlme, however, the engineer
had been working frantically on me
oil-burners, and at o'clock this morn
ing they were placed in service once
more.
Under her own power again the San
to Maria was able to dismiss the two
gallant tugs and proceed with her
voyage after having narrowly escaped
the rocks.

REMOVING The FORMS
CONCRETE WORK EXPOSED
The Laying of the Floor of the Sec
ond Story Has Been Begun.

The laying or rather tine pouring Of
the second story floor is now In pro-
gress on the Noble building. Besides
the columns. hundreds of wooden sup
ports were first braced up against the
temporary lumber flooring in prepa-
ration for the strain incident to the
heavy weight Of the wet concrete. \
portion of the floor has been covered
with the steel netting of 3-s inch
twisted steel rods wire bound. and the
concrete is elevated from the mixer
in the basement to the second story
and wheeled to the panels being laid.
This work is. as has been the Gus
tom on this building. being done at
night. to prevent the too rapid setting
of the concrete. An intermediate
floor between the first and second
has been built in the rear portion of
the building. Most of the supports
except the permanent ones have been
removed from the basement and the
fist floor and columns now bear the
strain Of the superstructure. which is
gradually being increased in weight.
There is no sign Of break or flaw in
the portion moulded thus far. and il is
not likely that any will appear as the
cement has all been thoroughly test
ed before it was placed in the con-
crete.
Some of the forms are being remOv-
ed from that part of the building first
moulded as the cement has had suf-
ficient time To be as solid and hard
as IL will ever be. In fact il is 81
hard that it would be impossible to-
drive 4 spike into the material. The
columns look more massive and sub
stantial when exposed to view after
the removal of the lumber. than was

A CITY WITHOUT SALOONS.
Kansas City, Kansas, Happy Over Its
Experiment.

Hon. c. ". Trickett. assistant attor-
ney general of Kansas. has recently
made the following statement with re-
gard to the closing Of saloons in Kan
sas City and the effect thereof:
This city is the metropolis of Kan
sas. with a population of about 1OO.-
900. The inhabitants are largely wage
earners and represent every national,
ity. We are located on the border.
'only an invisible line separating us

about so houses Of social evil. Today
there is not saloon. no open gamb-
ling den. nor a disorderly hosse 1t
is the largest city in the world with
out these dens Of vice. and as we have
now existed about twelve months
without them it affords a living ex-
ample of the fact that large city can
grow and prosper without such evils.
At the commencement of the con-
test a large number of our people
thought it would ruin business and
destroy our prosperity. but it has
stimulated business in all lines.
Our population has increased at a
greater rate than ever before.
The deposits of the banks have gain
ed by one and one-half million dol
lars.
The merchants upon our streets
have had to employ additional clerks.
The attendance in our public schools
has increased largely. and We have
had to employ eighteen additional
teachers. The teachers inform US that
this increase is largely of boys and
girls OF from twelve to sixteen years
