Survivors Reach Seattle
Scared and bruised through encouu.
tiers with rocks in being driven before
an angry sea in providential escape
from death, 10 survivors of the wrecked
ship Star of Bengal have arrived ia
Seattle from Wrangel, Alaska. The
ship, carrying 10 sailors and hands
from the Wrangel cannery of the
Alaska Packers association, was driven
ashore and dashed to pieces ON the
rocks Of Helm point, bold promintorv
one-half mile from the south end Of
Coronation island, 90 miles from Wran-
gel, at an early hour September 90.
The time intervening has slightly
revealed the marks of the encounter
through which the survivors passed
in their desperate escape from drown
ing or being crushed beneath the
crumbling ship or its floating cargo Of
canned salmon and metal casks. De.
tails as brought to Seattle aeeentuate
the reports of the affair sent by cable.
and proclaim the loss of the Star Of
Bengal as one of the most tragic Incl
dents that mark the Pacific.
Emphasizes Charges of Cowardice.
Captain Nicholas Wagner, who ar
rived with his band of SCARED sur
vivors, adds vigorously to charges Of
cowardice made against Captains r.
Farrar, master of the tug Hattie Gage,
and p. Hamilton, commanding the tug
kayak. Both towboats are owned and
operated by the Alaska Packers as
ISOLATION, owners of the Star of Ben
gal and the cargo of salmon that
was destroyed in the wreck Notwith-
standing this, Captain Wagner states
that had the captains not deserted his
craft in an hour of great need and
without the least extenuating circum-
stances not a single life need have
been lost and in all probability the
vessel could have been kept off the
rocks and saved.

HEARING IN CONTEMPT CASE.
Sequel to Rule Applied for Last
Week at Scranton.

SCRANTON, Pa. September 21.-The
hearing in the case Of Harry X. Thaw.
the slayer of Stanford White, on a rule
to show cause why he should not be de-
clared in contempt of court for failing to
appear at a bankruptcy hearing in Pitts
burg ten days ago, will come up here
today before Judge r. w. Archibald in the
United States court for the middle district
of Pennsylvania. The case is being heard
in the middle district court because Judge
Young of the United States court for the
western district of Pennsylvania is in
Europe
The rule was applied for last week by
Albert p. Meyer of the law firm of Stone
& Stone of Pittsburg, which represents al
legged creditors of Thaw.
The decision lof the court is being
watched with considerable interest. 1t is
said If the court sustains the rule it will
mean that Thaw will have to come to
Pennsylvania to appear before the court
or the referee in the bankruptcy pro-
ceedings.

Committees Are Appointed.

Mills had made UP his mind as to whether
Thaw Is entitled to a jury trial he gave
no hint as to his opinion.
The judge said that whatever his de-
cisiOn may be he will render it speedily
after the case is called before him. If
he decides to deny the jury trial Thaw
will have to return to Matteawan, UNI
less the bankruptcy proceedings in Pitts
burg should meanwhile take such a turn
that Thaw would be transferred there un-
der authority of the United States court.
Thaw walked from the Jail to the
courthouse. a distance Of two blocks, in
the custody Of two deputy sheriffs. There
was little of the old twitching of the
muscles of his face and eyes. He sat al
most motionless throughout the proceed
ings, which lasted about twenty minutes.
1t was remarked that never before in
public since his arrest had Thaw shown
self-control.

Rebekahs, which are held in FL Jebel
Temple. Only one office is to be filled
by votes, all the other vacancies being

is that of deputy grand sire.
The office Of grand sire is the highest
tom that the man who serves as deputy
grand sire for year succeeds at the
end of his term to that of grand sire.
The contest for deputy grand sire is
made all the more keen by reason of the

dates already in the lists. They are w

Ter of Texas, Robert 7. Daniel of Geor-
gia. John r. Kochrum of Indiana j. s.
Roagland of Nebraska. Massena Billiard
of Montana and r. Hill Meyers of Win
nipeg. Manitoba. One important ques-
ton will come up for consideration 1t
is to make the age limit for admission
eighteen years instead of twenty-one as
at present. This matter has been be-
fore the Grand Lodge sessions before
and has always been voted down
For prizes for the best drilled teams
of the Patriarchs Militant there has
been appropriated $4,000. Competition
for the various prizes will be most keen
and some of the best drilled Organiza-
tions in the United States are present to
compete.
