WIRELESS KEY

POWER FAILS IMMEDIATELY ON
ALARM OF FIRE
Frantic Efforts to Send Out c. @. D.
Messages Are Of No Avail
Sticks to Post Until

Il. l.. Fishburn, United Wireless ope-
rator on board the st. Croix, said that
this was his first trip on board the
ship, but since he had gone aboard at
san Francisco a week ago there had
been a continuous flow of electricity
day and night to his instrument.
He had had no difficulty in establish
ing communication with any point
within reach of his apparatus since ne
had been aboard the ship.
MIR. FIshburn said he was at dinner
when word came to him that the SNIP
was on fire. He went on deck ana saw
considerable smoke about the atter por-
ton of the ship. a.
He ran to his station, threw the
nower switch and started to give the
&c @ d" signal when, to his dismay
he discovered there was no power
Fishburn made q frantic appear Ior
electricity. but he was told that the
f,,ses were either burned or that the
wires had been severed by the hre. H3
stated that time and again he returneu
to his station to try the power, put he
could not succeed in getting any cur
rent. -. h,,
His statement was borne out by
Captain Warner, who declared that the
operator had continued TO go 10 ms
station until the ammonia fumes ana
smoke made 1t Impossible for him to
do so.
Apparatus Works Perfectly
my call on the ship was OK ana
shortly before l went to luncheon re-
eeived a call from the Los Angees
station. replied to the call, and my
apparatus worked perfectly. L received
an aerogram from the Los Angeles
station and gave my * for II. II
was of a personal nature, trlehd
ashore sending greeting and bon Voy-
age to a passenger. ,-,,..,
1T sent the message to be dehVerel'
and then held a few minutes CONVEX
sation with San Pedro. Had the cur
rent not been cut off l could nave told
Los Angeles of our predicament ana
might also have reached some snip
that might have come to our rescue.
II ran to this port formerly on the
Queen. and l am familiar with wireless
conditions at San Pedro and Los an
geles. I believe the interference with
aerograms and aerial intercommuhlca-
tion by amateur wireless eXperlmenters
a serious menace to the safety OF me
passengers at sea. ,

vinces me of the necessity or haNlhs

SURVIVORS THROWN
ON OWN RESOURCES
HAVE TO SHIFT FOR SELVES
IN LOS ANGELES
Company Claims Its Responsibility
Ended When Passengers Were
Brought to Where Railroad
Facilities Were Afforded

All members of the crew and many
Of the passengers went directly to the
offices of the North Pacific Steamship
company 524 South Spring street, i'm
mediately after arriving in Los An
geles. Transportation on the Los An
geles-Pacific was furnished free by
General Sherman of the railway COM
pany at the request of Chief of Police
Dishman.
Shortly before o'clock. on advices
from the steamship company's head
quarters in San Francisco, members of
the crew were paid a portion of the
money due them for wages. Accord
ing to w. Pinnio, assistant agent, the
crew will be paid in full this morning
and will then be discharged.
Passengers were forced to rely on
THEN own resources for food and shei-
ter after arriving in Los Angeles. Chief
of Police Dishman issued an order al
lowing any of the survivors free use Of
the beds in the receiving hospital and
in the city jail. Meals were also pro-
vided for those who were without
money. Many of the crew took ad-
vantage of Chief Dishman's kindness.
The company claims that under the
law 1T is not compelled to furnish food
and shelter for wrecked passengers
The officials declare the law provides
that when a ship is wrecked the pas
sengers must be conducted with all
speed and diligence from any isolated
spot to the nearest city where railroad
facilities are afforded. During such
period the ships owners must provide
food and shelter. After arrival at any
city responsibility on the part of the
ships owners ceases, according to law,
say the officials. AS soon as Los An
geies was reached, the officials declare
their responsibility ceased.
Investigation to Be Made
1t is understood at the North Pacific
offices that searching investigation
of the wreck will be made by the de-
partment of commerce and labor. This
information was received late yester-
day afternoon from San Francisco.
According to the local representatives
OF the company all claims for damages
VIII have to be made at the offices in
San Francisco. If any claims are made
locally they will be forwarded to the
northern city, as there is no fund here
to pay claims, and there is no one in
authority here to adjust such matters.
Shubach & Hamilton, operators OF
the st. Croix had not communicated
with the local offices up to late last
night, according to Mr.. Pinnio. Cen
eral Agent d. w. Ferguson, who is
now in Portland, wired Mr.. Pinnio to
get all his orders from Mr.. Hamilton,
who was in San Francisco when last
heard from about midnight Saturday
1t is probable that Mr.. Hamilton will
come to Los Angeles this morning to
take charge of the situation. although
he has not given any definite assur-
ances to this effect.

GAS HOUSE GANG
Talbot Mundy is Beaten and
Robbed But will
Recover.
BY United Press wire.

| New York. Oct. PIT is stated at
Bellevue hospital today that Talgot
Mundy, until recently district COM
missioner of Port Florence, British
East Africa, would recover from the
effects of beating he received at the
hands Of thugs in the notorious gas
house district on the east side last
night
His wife declared today to the po-
lice that she was the divorced wife
of Lord Rupert Craven that she had
married Mundy few days before
they recently sailed from England.
Last night two men called at their
apartments on east Fifteenth street
and asked for directions for finding
some man but Mundy could not as
sst them. Tney asked him to go get
drink and he did. In a dark street
ne was blackjacked and robbed OF
$500. One man has been arrested on
suspicion.
Mundy claims to be journalist and
to have been employed on the London
Daily Mail.
Lord Rupert Cecil Craven>was mar
red to Miss Inez Morton Broome il
1899. The marriage was dissolved last
year. Miss Broome first came into
prominence as the original "bachelo.
girl
While half the entire detective
force was searching for the assailant
of Mundy, Mrs. Mary Semon, a widow
of thirty, living at Twenty-Eighth
street and Second aveneu was attack
ed by three other men near her home
and beaten. Her clothing was torn to
shreds, her hair was pulled out by
the roots and when she resisted, one
of her assailants fastened his teeth in
her thumb and bit it Off. She may
recover.
The police have little doubt thai
both crimes were committed by
members of the infamous gas house
gang.

OFFICES MUST PAY
" SALARIES IN FEES
New Law Becomes Effective
With the New Year.
Legislature VIII be Asked TO Make
some Changes in the Salary Law
Before II Becomes Effective.

Reports of county ohicitds filed to.
day for the third quarter of the
present year show fees collected as
follows: Auditor $2,00s SO; Clerk,
S6O2 40; Recorder, S5i5.96 and
probate judge, $6S5.S5. For the
same period last year the collections
were auditor s2411.52; clerk.
S46O.63; recorder, Sj43.52 and pro-
bate rjudge, $S9O.51. The report OF
the treasurer and sheriff have not
been filed as yet.
Commencing January / the OIL
cials must collect sufficient fees t.
pay their salaries or they will be en-
titled to draw only such part Of
their salaries as they have collected.
Should an official collect but 500 in
January above his clerk hire and Of
flce expenses that would be his sal
airy and though he had cleared
$1,000 in the preceding year he
would not be entitled to any of that
money. As but few Of the offices
ure on a paying basis under the
present system OF fees there is much
dissatisfaction and the legislature
will probably take some action this
winter before the law goes into ef-
feet. The officials claim that il they
are on salary It should be a stated
amount and not a lottery. Sometimes
the Offices will earn sufficient fees to
leave q nice balance If all could be
collected. but the law provides so
many loop holes for those who do not
want to pay that the fees cannot be
collected and as a result the Off.
cialS may have to work for a salary
that would tempt few 20 enter pub.
lie life
The sheriff will probably be the
Nevicst sufferer and the clerk next.
In the former offices i1r instance, the
fees have been cut down to such an
extent that there Is little chance fuI
the official to collect enough to pay
his salary and deputy hire, notwith-
standing the fact that he is the poor
est paid of any of the county OF
1icials. The earning Of the fees does
not mean that tse salary VIII be pair
for. i'm both the sherifrs and clerks
