DROWNED IN BAY
Prominent San J0sean Falls Off

From Santa Cruz
Father Lost His Life in Detroit
River in Same Manner
Years Ago
SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL

SAN JOSE, Aug. 4.-Commodore Cur
tbs M. Barker of the South Bay yacht
club was drowned in Halfmoon bay
this afternoon, according to tele-
phone message received from HALF
moon Bay by his wife in this city.
Details of the drowning are lacking
and it is uncertain whether 1t was
accidental or not. According to the
message received from Halfmoon Bay
he walked off his schooner. ".The
Muriel." into the bay. His body was
recovered.
Barker had spent the last couple of
weeks at Santa Cruz with his family
and at the time of his death he was
homeward bound, up the coast to San
Francisco. A single companion was
with him. They We're evidently max
ing slow progress in their little craft
for they left Santa Cruz Saturday, and
today were only off Granada, a new
town at the northern end of Halfmoon
bay. Barker was the son of Il. c.
Barker, a multimi1lionaire, who was
mayor of the city of Detroit at the time
that King Edward VII. then the prince
of Wales, visited and was entertained
in that city. A curious coincidence Is
that K. c. Barker was drowned in the
Detroit river in aboVt the same fashion
that the son met his death today The
family has always had a love for the
water and devoted considerable time to
yachting.
The deceased was a prominent Mason
and at one time was city engineer here

FLAMES RAGE, But
WORST Is PASSED
Fire Goes From Devastated
Crows Nest Country to Re-
gion Sparsely Populated

VANCOUVER, B. c., Aug. 4.-The ter
ribly destructive forest fires which
have swept through the Crows Nest
district of the Elk river valley in Brit
ish Columbia since last Saturday, de-
vastating a vast stretch of territory.
destroying many lives and millions of
dollars in property. wiping out entire
towns and rendering thousands of per-
sons homeless, are still raging, but are
now sweeping a wild and sparsely set
tied country and 1t is believed the worst
is over. The flames are eating through
vast forests on the mountain sides, and
1t is thought they will soon burn them
selves out for lack of something to de-
stroy
So widespread has been the destruc-
ton and so scattered are the people who
lived in the burned area of more than
so miles in length and 10 miles in
width that any accurate estimate of
the number who met death in the
flames is impossible as yet.
A summary of the results of the fires
has been prepared here. which is be-
lieved to be a conservative estimate as
TO loss Of life and property destruction.
1t is as follows:
Town of Fernie, about 5000 inhabi-
of 20 lives and $4,000, 900 or $4,000 900 in
property. Insurance about 80 per cent.
Town of Hesmer, about 500 inhabi-
tants, partly burned, with loss of one
life and S250,000 in property. Three
hundred persons homeless.
Town of Michel, believed not seriously
burned, but four persons reported killed
and property destroyed in vicinity esti-
mated at s1.0O0,000. Details unobtain-
able. owing to lack of communication.
Town of Sparwood, sawmiil village,
and large mills destroyed. Damage
estimated at $250,000.
Damage to standing timber through
out the burned area estimated at from
$1,000, 900 to $2,000,000.
There has been suffering among the
homeless owing to the lack of food
and shelter, but this has been alleviated
or entirely relieved by the prompt ac-
tion of the people of every city in
British Columbia, as well as many of
those in the border states, in sending
both money and supplies.
Communication with the burned sec
tion has been most difficult Telegraph
and telephone wires were destroyed for
miles in places.
superintendent Hussey Of the provin-
cial police has been sent by the govern
ment of British Columbia to the fire
swept region and now is in charge of
the relief work in East Kootenai, act

MOURNS LIVES LOST
IN WRECK OF AUTO
Miss Ethel Mccormick, in Hys-
terical State, BIames Her
self for Accident
Car Shows Crash Was Due to
Break in Machinery and
Was Unavoidable

SAN MATED, Aug. 4.-Miss Ethel
Mccormick, the girl who drove the de-
fectlve automobile that caused the
death of five members of the McCor-
mfck-O Brien families yesterday, was in
p1tiful condition today at the McCor-
mick home in A street. Beside herself
with grief over the destruction of the
lire or her mother, sisters and nepheWs,
Miss Mccormick walled merciless self
accusations during her waking periods.
She was in a state of hysteria all day
and could only be quieted by the use
or opiates, which were freely admins
tered last evening and today.
An examination Of the wrecked car
today showed that nothing Miss Nc
Cormick could have done would have
saved the party. The smaller wire
cable to the band brake had pulled out
OF the splice and by the time Miss Nc
Cormick realized the condition of the
car 1t was too late to apply the emer-
gency brakes effectively.
The saddest funeral cortege that ever
took It's course through San Mateo will
leave the Mccormick home at 10 O'Clock
tomorrow morning for the Catholic
church, where a solemn requiem mass
will be celebrated at 1880 o'clock by
Fathers Callahan and Dugen.
In a single coffin Will be the bodies
of Mrs. Ira G. O'Brien and her infant
son, Robert T. O'Brien. In separate
caskets will be the bodies of Mrs
Thomas A. Mccormick Mrs. O'Brien's
mother; Miss Clara Mccormick Mrs
McCormick's daughter. and Ira O'Brien
another son of Mrs. O'Brien.
Miss Emma McCauley, who with Miss
Ethel Mccormick alone survived the
tragic ride, is resting easily at the Red
Cross guild hospital, San Mateo. Her
recovery is considered certain Nc
fears are held of Miss Ethel McCor-
mick's condition, yet her mental state
causes grave anxiety to the members OF
her family
