TEN BLUEJACKETS NEAR
DEATH IN HARD SQUALL
Sailors from South Dakota Struggle
with Waves Until Rescued by
Admiral Sebree's
Barge

Ten sailors of the U. S. South Da-
kota, while trying to make the Fifth
street wharf at San Pedro yesterday
afternoon in a stiff breeze. had mar
row escape from death when their cut
ter capsized in the rough waters about
mile from the war vessel.
A sudden heavy squall turned the
cutter over completely, for several mo-
ments fastening one of the men under
1t, while the other nine had a hard
struggle to climb on top of the bottom
of the boat.
Hanging desperately onto the keel
until nearly exhausted, the men finally
were rescued by two steam launches
from the South Dakota and by the ad
miraPs barge from the Tennessee, sail
ors on which vessels happened to sight
the accident, even at that distance.
The admiraPs barge was the first to
reach the scene and the men were res
cued just as several of them had be-
come so exhausted that 1t was feared
from shore, where a crowd watched
their battle against the squall, that all
would be drowned before help arrived.
The men were rescued from the cap
sized boat, drenched and weak from
cold, and taken back to the South Da-
kota.

LITTLE WANDERER FOUND
AFTER -FOUR DAYS. HUNT
Had Been Without Food Except 5er-
ries and Wild Fruits Since She
Left Home and Became
Lost

CHICAGO. June S. A dispatch
to the Tribune from Calumet, Mich,
says: Two wornout men, members of
the party of over a thousand people
seeking little Miss Gornzack in the
woods here for three days and nights,
came upon a child's hat and shoes
near a creek in a swamp yesterday,
and sent up a loud shout of joy which
told that the long hunt was over.
The child, who is years old, had
been missing since Thursday. She was
found reclining against a tree uncon-
scious Her locks had been blown over
her face by kind Providence, yet
this had proved insufficient protection,
for her lips, cheeks and brow were
swollen and discolored from bites of
mosquitoes and other insects that in
fest the morass.
without food sfnce she left her home
four days ago, save berries and wild
fruits of the forest, the girl must have
given out from sheer exhaustion.
The wanderer was taken to the home
of her parents, Mr.. and Mrs. William
Gornzack, where physicians stated she
would recover.
Her father is blind and was barred
from aiding in the hunt for his
daughter

HUGHES SENDS MESSAGE
ON RACE TRACK GAMBLING
Recommends Suitable Legislation Be
Passed to Prevent 5ettng-Wants
Action on Diseases of
Cattle

ALBANY, June S.-Governor Hughes
sent to the extraordinary session of
the Legislature tonight his special mes
sage recommending for consideration
the enactment of suitable legislation
for the prevention of race track gam
bling. He also recommends the enact
ment of Suitable legislation with re-
gard to diseases of cattle. especially
tuberculosis
Forty-five senators, more than a
quorum, were in their seats when the
roll was called in the upper house, but
Senator Foelker was not present. His
vote is apparently of the utmost i'm
portance to the fate of the anti-gam-
bling legislation recommended by the
governor.
THE issue has been clearly present.
ed" says the governor to the legisla-
ture, whether the interests of those
who wish to maintain gambling privi
leges at race tracks shall be consid-
cred paramount to the constitution of
the state. 1t is an issue which has
been clearly defined and Is fully appre-
ciated by the people. 1t cannot be
obscured by a discussion of the pro-
pensities of human nature. Race track
gambling exists not because it is hid
den or elusive, but as an organized
business, shielded by legislative dis
elimination. The law which proposes
to prohibit 1t in fact protects it,"

VOLCANO AGAIN VIOLENT;
VALUABLE LAND DESTROYED
Mu, on Island of Savaii, Is Discharg-
ing Great Quantities of Lava and
Molten Mass Is Threaten
Ing Town

SAN FRANCISCO. June S.-Accord-
ing to a report brought to this city by
the steamer Aeon. just arrived here
from Apia, Samoa, the volcano Mu,
which broke out in August, 1905, on the
island of Savaii, one of the Samoan
group, is again in violent eruption and
covered a large and fertile part of the
island, which previously escaped, with
lava. The inhabitants of the district,
known as Matatautu, have fled before
the river of molten rock and taken
refuge in adjoining islands.
For some time since the eruption or
three years ago Mu has flowed slowly
and through subterranean channels to
the sea, but about a month ago a fresh
outburst came that devastated some OF
the most productive land on Savaii:
The flow is approaching the village of
Saleaula, and it's Inhabitants are pre-
pairing to leave.
When the Aeon left Apia, nineteen
days ago, the lava flow had covered
more than seven square miles of land
and was spreading fast.

stopped beating. He pressed his I'm

Gradually the muscles began to ex-
pand and contract. DIR. Wight con-
tinued to manipulate the heart until

POLICIES OF ROOSEVELT
MEAN PARTY'S WELFARE

CHICAGO, June S.-The speech of
Senator Henry Cabot Lodge of Massa-
chusetts as permanent chairman OF the
Republican national convention will be,
it is said based largely on the propo-
sition that the welfare of the party
demands that the policies pursued by
President Roosevelt be upheld.
1t is expected that the address will
require about twenty minutes for its
delivery and the speaker will empha-
size the point that the people of the
coGntry at large are strongly in favor
of the policies of the present admin
istration and that future Republican
success depends upon following them
out without hesitation and with all
possible energy.
The third term proposition will be
touched upon lightly, but the speaker
will point out that all the talk that
has been made about 1t is evidence
that the country desires for president
a man who will follow in the lines laid
down by President Roosevelt.
