Either the City of Panama was
sounding signals of distress when
she encountered the terrific storm
off Halfmoon Bay Monday even
ing, or some other steamer was
in serious trouble with the ele-
ments there at that time. Miss
Agnes Struthers, her father, John
Struthers, and Edward Frey, who
live at Lobitos, hamlet six miles
south of Halfmoon, are positive
that they heard the distant moan
ings from the sea that meant an
appeal for aid.
Comely Miss Struthers, 18
years of age, was the first one
to detect the distress signals, and
when she called the attention of
her father and Frey to them they
both heard plainly for over an
hour the succession of whistle
blasts.
"It was at 8 o'clock in the
evening when | first heard the
whistling of the steamer said
Miss Struthers. 1--WE were sit
ting about the fire, for it was a
cold and stormy night, when the
faint sounds of the whistle blasts
came from off the sea. l at once
spoke to father about it, and he
then could hear the signals.
"Mr. Frey came in to visit us,
and he, too, could hear the whist
ling plainly. We were all much
concerned, for we knew that
there was no fog at sea. We fre-
quently hear the warning signals
of vessels passing in the fog. We
talked OF the storm at sea, and

FEDERAL AGENTS
HERE To PROBE
RAILROADS
Inquire Into Car Shortage
and Question of Rates
Through to the Orient
COMMISSIONER LANE
WILL COME WEST
Investigation Is Directed
Primarily at Hartman
Rail and Steamer Lines

Two agents of the Interstate Com
merce Commission have been in Cali
fornia for the last week investigating
the car shortage and the question of
through rates from Eastern points to
the Orient. The greater part of their
inquiries has been directed at the
Hartman holdings, both railroad and
steamship lines. Particular attention
was given to the discrimination in
favor of the Rockefeller interests in
the distribution of oil cars. There
have been cars in abundance for the
trust, but none for the independents.
The presence of representatives of
the Interstate Commerce Board in
California is regarded as significant
at this time in view of the rigid in
investigation begun in New York into
the Hartman system and the intention
of the commission to visit San Fran
cisco to complete the inquiry.
If the commission reaches San Fran
cisco 1t wiilHDe asked BIZ local shippers
to take UP the question of rates at
fecting the Pacific Coast. Whether
the commerce board will go deeply
into this phase of the investigation is
not known, as the chief purpose of
the inquiry is to bring to light the
financial organization of the system
and the relations borne to each other
by its various branches.
The ground for the inquiry into the
car supply was paved by the Garfield
report. wherein it was shown that the
Standard Oil Company not only re-
ceived large rebates, but was furnished
with all the oil cars 1t needed, where
as the independent producers were
forced to shut down their wells be-
cause OF their inability to secure the
necessary transportation facilities
The representatives of the commerce
board have been in conference with
oil and steamship men in San Francisco
