change in the Inauguration plans. the
result Of the storm that made out

Bacon, as secretary Of state with NO
limit to his term. became under the
constitution actually president. No
body knew there had been a double
shift Of presidents until the attor-

the fact next day. Even Mr. Bacon
was not aware that the sun Of great

Fire Of Vengeance.

I In Siam il q IRE that not only lasts
for years but has what have been
aptly termed "lineal descendants" 1t
Is to be found in q Buddhist temple
near Bangkok, where every fourth
year at a certain period the priests
light fresh fire in a big brazier.
This flame is kept alive for four years
and is in turn extinguished after sup
plying q brand to ignite its successor.
Inasmuch as this practice has OBJ
tanned for upward of two centuries
the Buddhist nre Of Bangkok is In a
sense the Oldest In the world.
Another long term fire is said to
exist at Sarhad. Persia. This flame IL
q symbol Of religious fervor and 1t Is
death to extinguish it; 1t has burned
for 20 years. In explanation of this
curious rite 1t is explained that the
Persians, rigid Mohammedans and re-
garding their former fire worshipping
faith with detestation. nevertheless
suffer the sarhad flame to continue to
display their gratitude for q service
rendered a high ofhcial of the Per
sian government many years ago. At
that time, it is said. a pious Parsee.
who had come to trade ut Sarhad was
the happy means Of saving the grand
vizier from assassination. So the
grateful shah Of that day ordered that
the fre lighted by the Parsee should
be kept alive Indefinitely.
There are some regions of the
earth, like those inhabited by the Els.
kimos. where the motive for retain.
ing fires for long periods lies in the
great difficulty of obtaining means for
lighting new ones. One traveller re.

INSURANCE COMBINE
Morgan Believed to Be Planning
Giant Combine.
CAPITALIZED At sl,7OO,OOO,OOO
Saving in Present Scattered Control
Would Result-Question of Pol
icies Not Quite Clear.

New York, Dec. 4.-The amalgama.
ton Of the "big three" life insurance
eompanies-the Equitable Life, New
York Life and Mutual Life-is possible
as the result of the purchase of con-
troll of the Equitable by J. Pierpont
Morgan q Co.
such a consolidation was seriously
considered several years ago, before the
upheaval in the Equitable which made
so many radical changes in the insur-
anee business. These changes have
greatly increased the probability of an
anal gamation and have removed many
OF the conditions which then made it
impossible. The advantages are said
to be many and important and the OBJ.
Jeetions are not insurmountable.
From financial standpoint the con.
solidation would be highly desirable for
those in control, as it would put assets
OF $780, 100000 under the direction OIL
a single group of financiers and would
result in a material saving IN the pres
ent distributed control.
Mr.. Morgan, if he were to dominate
the consolidated companies, would have
the handling and investment of an an
nual income of $275, 100000. The aver
age cash in bank of the three compa.
nies is now $25,0O0,000.
There are several great railroad sys-
tens In which the combined holdings
of the three companies would be $780,
100000 and over, with all that it i'm
plies in influence. OF New York Gen.
tral bonds alone the three hold $45,-
100000, to say nothing of other lines
that are part of the New York Cen
tral system. In Pennsylvania bonds
the three hold $3S,000,OO0. Even Mr..
Morgan's steel trust is dwarfed by the
possibilities of this combine.

GALE SINKS FREIGHT SHIP.
Six Men Go Down With British Bark
Of Cape Flattery.

Portland, Dee. 4.-Six lives were
claimed for toll by the rock bound
shores of Cape Flattery when the
British bark Matterhorn foundered in
heavy sea, 70 miles off Umatllla reef
lightship, November 81.
Leaving the vessel during the heavy
gale that prevailed, the first officer s
boat was dashed to pieces, and the
mate, steward and four of the sailors
were drowned.
Captain Salter and second mate and
25 of the crew launched a large life
boat, and after battling with the storm
for 27 hours, and enduring great hard
ships, succeeded in reaching Umatilla
lightship.
Crazed by exposure, one sailor
jumped overheard when approaching
the hghtship, and was rescued with
difficulty by his comrades.
On Saturday, November 81, the day
ON which the Matterhorn foundered,
one of the fercest storms which has
been experienced in years swept the
entire Pacific coast between Northern
California and Alaska.
At North Head the wind registered
as high as "a miles an hour, and it blew
with even greater velocity at Tatoosh
Island. Vessels a day behind the Mat
terhorn and Howard D. Troop were
bar-bound at Astoria for several days,
and vessels outside hovered around the
Unable to get in.
During the same gale which wrecked
the Matterhorn, the steamer Argo went
ashore off Tillamook bar, November 26,
when five lives were lost.
In charge of Captain Salter the Mat
terhorn crossed out over the Columbia
River bar at 1920 a. m. November 26.
She was in company with the British
ship Howard d. Troop, and at that
time the Portland waterfront figured
out a race between the two vessels on
the voyage around the Horn. The Mat
terhorn carried 105,021 bushels of bar
ley and was bound for Ipswich, direct.
The cargo was dispatched by Balfour,
Guthrie & Co. She carried a master,
two mates and 29 men.
The Matterhorn was a four-masted
iron bark and was built at Greenock
in 1882, and was owned by C. E. De-
Wolf & Co. She was classed in Lloyds
as 100 AL.
