FIRE ON ST. CROIX
REMAINS MYSTERY
Testimony at Inquiry Fails to
Disclose Origin of Blaze
That Gutted Steamer
Witness Said to Have Charged
Plot Disappears and Can
Not Be Found

Testimony given yesterday in the in
Bulger and Bolles into the origin of
the fire which destroyed the steamer St.
Croix off Santa Monica on November 20
and the conduct of the officers and
crew of the ship developed absolutely
no facts as to how the fire originated
and tended to prove that Captain Fred
Warner and his men did their full duty
in their efforts to save the ship and its
passengers.
The first witness of the day was
Chief Steward John Mirnin. who testi-
fled that the fire evidently originated
Fin the after part of the ship and was
first discovered through the presence of
smoke in the second cabin. According
10 his statements, which were corrobo-
rated by Captain Warner and all the
other witnesses, hose and fire eXtin-
guishers were brought into immediate
use and everything possible was done
to subdue the flames. He testified that
within half to three-quarters of an
hour the ship was cleared of its pas
sengers. The captain and crew, the
witness declared, continued their ef-
forts TO save the ship, after the pas
sengers had been placed in the boats,
for another hour, when the flames had
gained such headway that it was neces-
sary to abandon the st. CroiX to its
fate.
Other members of the crew examined
were: J. H lie Fort, the ships bar
tender: Lewis Anderson, ships store
keeper; John Kelly, water tender;
James Jauncey, quartermaster; J. S.
Finley. pantryman; Purser John S.
Ford Night Watchman Middleton and
Captain Warner.
All the witnesses agreed that fumes
of ammonia, escaping from a broken
pipe attached to the ice king ma
chinery, greatly retarded their efforts.
They were particularly insistent that
all lifeboats were supplied with pro-
visions
The passengers who testified were
Mrs. John F. Glover, 1912 Eddy street;
Mrs J. A H. Smith. 14O5 Sutter street,
of this city, and NJ. H. Dugan of Los
Angeles. Mrs. Smith criticised the
manner of launching the lifeboats, and
Dugan had fault TO find with the food
served the wrecked passengers.
Quartermaster Peters. who is alleged
to have charged that CAPTAIN Warner
removed most of his effects from the
ship before leaving San Pedro, thus in
timating that he had previous informa-
tiOn that something might happen to
the vessel, was not present and could
not be found.
The hearing will be resumed this
morning

GANG MEET DEFEAT
Judge De Haven Allows Only
Three Days Stay

Frank ". Brown, r. B. Hartman and
r. c. Moore, indicted as members of the
John G. Mabray gang of fake sport pro-
moters operating over the entire coun-
try, made an unsuccessful fight against
eXtradition TO Omaha yesterday before
Judge de Haven in the United States
district court. A stay of three days was
obtained. however. TO allow an appeal
from the order of removal to be
brought before the United States cir
cult court of appeals
The trio were captured at San Jose
and their bail placed at $4,000 each on
the two indictments for conspiracy.
The real reason for the fight against
eXtradition is said to lie in the fact
that once in Omaha the trio will be also
under the jurisdiction of the state
courts. where state indictments may be
filed if the federal charges fail. They
will seek release on habeas corpus.

Household Notes

schooigirIs' Dresses-Dressing the
schoolgirl becomingly and sensibly is
a problem mothers have to face at this
time of the year.
Fortunately serges of the rough va
riety are very. smart and they adapt
themselves well TO the youthful tailor
made The favorite color is tawny
yellow, relieved by buttons of deeper
shade.
The three piece suit is most useful
and universe Ily becoming. Care should
be exercised, however, in selecting the
color Broadcloth also is apt to make
the average girl look old. and coarse
vale serge is much prettier Tor her.
Very little braided work should be put
on young girls coat. 1t is not youth
full enough for her and has aktendency
under hard wear TO grow shabby.
The little university dresses are quite
pretty for school wear. These come in
the long wasted models, relieved with
fold of plaid and having the fun plaid
skirt They are especially effective in
toque trimmed with large white wings.
With these separate dresses long
coat of cloth or velvet is a necessity.
A black or fawn colored cloth is the
best, and the former may be made
youthful by preserving its straight
lines; also trimming it with large white
pearl buttons and white collars and
cuffs.
A schoolgirl should not wear shirt
waists Her form is too immature, and
she has not yet learned how to adjust
be worn they should be of the same
shade and preferably of the same ma
terial as the skirt, and the latter
should, have a belt sewed to it.
The schoolgirls boots should receive
particular attention. For everyday
wear a pair of heavy dull kids should
be bought, but for dress occasions, in
stead of patent leather, which is very
hard on the feet, the black buckskin
should be chosen, which, if of good
quality and cleaned with a first class
liquid dressing, lasts a long time and
is very practical.
For dress wear nothing is prettier
than the new long WASTED. killed skirt
dresses made in white cloth. These
white dresses are not extravagant, as
they soil all over so that ii is not
noticeable, and they clean much better
than the pale shades. which get dingy
tone through the yellowing effect Of
the gasoline.
Perhaps it is the schoolgirls hat
which deserves the most attention A
smart turban goes well with pretty
little serge costume. THIS if made of
beaver can be worn even in the rain
without spelling it. The broad brimmed
black beaver is also very good but it
should be of superior quality, not the
limp sort one usually sees and it is
much smarter if turned up at one side
