Several Vessels Forced to Seek Refuge

Dlsregards Warnings Dis
played at Mono

NOME, Alaska, Oct. 27.-Three YES
sels-the steam whaler Olga, the tug
Defiance and barge-have been lost in
g. storm that has been raging on Behr-
ing sea and adjacent waters for five
days.
The steamer Senator and schooner
Duxbury, which were reported in great
danger, sought refuge behind Sledge
island and safely weathered the storm.
The loss of the whaler Olga is at
tributed to the failure of Capt. William
Mogg, it's owner, to heed the warnings
given him.
A week before the storm Captain
Mogg beached his vessel for the winter.
He was warned by those in the vi
cinity that his vessel would be in
great danger should a gale come from
the southeast.
Despite these warnings Captain Mogg
did not move the Olga, and when the
storm broke his craft was pounded to
pieces by the heavy seas. No one was
aboard her at the time.
The tug Defiance broke from her
anchorage and was swept ashore, a
complete wreck. Three small boats of
the mosquito fleet were also carried
ashore but were not damaged. The
storm was one of the worst experienced
here in years.

De LAVEAGA WILL CONTEST
BEFORE COURT
Brother Seeks to Break Document Left

Millions Involved In
Litigation

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 27.-The De
Laveaga will contest, involving an es-
tate valued at $2,OOO,O0O, was begun in
Judge Coffey's superior court today.
The contested will is that of Miss
Maria Conception de Laveaga, a mem
ber of one of the oldest Spanish fami-
lies Of this state. She died lately In
Spain, leaving the bulk of her estate
to her sister, Mrs. Maria Josefa Bebri-
an of this city, and only $4,000 to her
brother, Miguel A. de Laveaga, who Is
contesting the will.
In his complaint De Laveaga asserts
his sister was weak minded, that she
was susceptible to improper influence
when she drew up her will. Dispositions
in the contest have been taken from
witnesses in Mexico and Spain.
In his opening statement to the jury
Attorney Pillsbury for the contestant
declared that Maria Conception de
Layeaga had been removed to Spain by
relatives to prevent her being declared
an incompetent by the California
courts. He alleged that while she was
in Spain she was restrained and treated
as an incompetent by the relatives who
had persuaded her to go there, and that
Miguel de Laveaga, the contestant, had
never made any secret of his belief
that his sister was not legally compe-
tent to manage her own affairs.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 27.-The United

Morton, commanding the military de-

report to the war department made
public yesterday. He has noticed a
steady and constant improvement.
In recommending that the age re-

the service directly and facilitate pro-
motions without working injustice or
injury to deserving individuals.

General Morton observes,
"have been emphasized during the

He suggests that the evil might be
remedied by keeping captains with

service performed by other officers.

much greater demand for officers in

vacancy in an organization caused by

is held on the charge of being an alien

in the $4,000 bond upon which De Lara's s
release is predicated
In order to make matters absolutely

National Association, Led by DR.. Eliot,
Begins Systematic Effort to Econ-

tBy Associated Press

NEW YORK, Oct. 27.-Nation-wide

to the people of the United States for
concerted action In preserving the ma

launched here today.
The National Conservation associ-

ington will carry on the proposed
vigorous campaign under the leader

This association Is to advocate ad-
ministrative measures by the states
and by the government for the con-
servation principles adopted by the
governors at their conference with
President Roosevelt, in May, 1908, at
the White House.
The association includes among It's
officers and membership some OF the
most prominent men of affairs in the
country.
General offices were opened today
in the Fifth avenue building, in this
city, where it was announced the as
sociation already had its organization
we'll under way and that applications
for membership were pouring IN from
all parts of the country.
IT is expected that, as the work
of the organization advances, branch

The chairman of the executive COM

President Taft, in a letter made

not do a more useful thing for them
selves and for posterity than to give

The association declares also that 1t
desires to further all legislation de-
