CRISIS DUE
MSTRLKE OF
ENGINEERS
SHIP OWNERS AND UNION MAY
AGREE
Conference Today Likely to Result in
Settlement or In Open Warfare
Between Employers and
Workmcn

BY Associated Press.
SAN FRANCISCO, March 22.-It is
thought that the conference between
the Marine Engineers association and
the special committee of the ship
owners tomorrow will be the last to
be held between the two organiza-
tions and that either the matter will
be settled or open warfare will be
declared between the two bodies.
At a conference held Wednesday
morning all minor differences between
the rules adopted by the engineers
and those demanded by the shipown-
ers were adjusted and the final test
of strength will come on the PROPOSE
tion of manning the ships.
The shipowners still insist upon their
old ultimatum that two men shall be
sufficient in the engine room of ships
taking long voyages and the engineers
want three.
Several proposition. have been made
to the engineers by the shipowners,
but all have been refused because the
engineers feel that they cannot stand
long trips without three men in the
engine room.
In the event of an agreement being
reached all the steam schooners in the
lumber trade which have been idle so
long will at once put to sea. In the
event no agreement 3 reached long
and disastrous strike might result that
would raise the price of lumber to a
higher mark than 1t has been on this
coast for years.

IN OFFICE LESS THAN THREE
MONTHS
Successor of the Late Stephen Mallory
of Florida Succumbs to an
Attack of Typhoid
Fever
By Associated Press.

By Associated Press.
WASHINGTON, March 22-United
States Senator William j. Bryan OF
Florida died at Providence hospital at
80 this morning of typhoid fever.
1t was only seventy-t three days since
he took his seat as the successor of the
late Senator Stephen r. Mallory, who
died December 2S, and twenty-three
days of that time were spent in his
fight against disease.
Several times during Mr.. Bryan's ILL
ress his friends despaired of his re-
covery, but as late as last night the
report was given out that his condition
had taken turn for the better.
His death today. therefore, came as
surprise and a distinct shock.
Ir physique Mr. Bryan was untitled
to withstand a protracted fever. He
was slight of build and Of nervous tenn
perament He came to Washington
early in January from the warm cli-
mate of Florida, and from the day of
his arrival was far from well. Finally
he was compelled to give up and was
taken to Providence hospital. During
the last few days of his illness he was
attended by specialists from Johns
Hopkins university, Baltimore
Death Roll Numbers Seven
In Mr.. Bryan the senate loses the
seventh member by death since the ad-
iournment of the fifty-ninth congress
on March 4, year ago. There were
the two late senators from Alabama,
Mr.. Morgan and Mr.. Pettus; Mr.. NAL
lory of Florida, Mr.. Latimer of South
Carolina, Mr.. Proctor of Vermont. Mr.
Whyte of Maryland, and Mr.. Bryan.
CuriousIy, the last two were the old
est and youngest members of the body.
Mr. Whyte being "a years old and Mr.
Bryan less than 80.
Although Mr.. Bryan was in the SEN
ate too short time to impress his in
d:yiduality on legislation or to take
prominent part in the consideration of
matters In committee, 1t is conceded
that had he lived he would have become
q forceful part of the minority.
Mr.. Bryan was born October 10, 1876,
in Orange county, Florida. He attended
tic public schools of his state and EN-
oly college, Georgia. graduating from
tue latter In 1896. Three years later he
was graduated from Washington and
Lee university and in 1899 began the
practice of law in Jacksonville, Fla.
Until short time before his appoint
ment to succeed Mr.. Mallory in the sem
ate he had served as solicitor of the
Duval county criminal court. He was
married to Miss Janet Allen of Lexing-
ton Va.
