DAVENPORT, "OREGON'S BOY"
THE WORLDS CARTOONIST''
viii Lecture Here Thursday Night "A Trip Through Arabia
and Friday Night on "The Power of the Cartoon" CaOr
MIA Paper Pays Him Fine Tribute But This the Whole People
of the United States Had Already Done.

Homer Davenport, premier car
toonist, lecturer and traveller enter
tained a monster audience last even
ing at the Isis theater with one of
the most interesting lectures ever
delivered in this city. Cartoons
drawn with lightning-like rapidlty,
interpersed with rapid fire of witty
anecdote; fifty stereoptlcon repro
ductions OF the versatile artists most
famous drawings. followed by a
dozen wonderfully colored slides
showing Mr.. Dayenport's marvellous
Arabian horses, formed the program.
The Davenport humor Is crisp and
sparkling the compelling quail
ity OF the wit OF Kendall and Bill
iings When Homer Davenport
drops his voice to the bored conver-
satlonal tone OF the blase society
man, take heed, for pearls of most
delicious humor are about 10 fall.
One with a poorly developed sense
OF humor would seriously impede
the Davenport work, for 50 subtle
are his witticisms that poor recep-
tive and responsive senses would
.cause the laugh to come many
seconds too late.
Davenport Epigrams
Three epigrams OF unusual worth
were created by Mr., Davenport last
evening. They were;
1T Is strange that some oarica-
lures look more like the man than
the man does himself"
"The caricaturist's opportunity
comes through the attention men In
public life pay TO the arrangement
OF their hair aud beard"
How odd it seems that the indi-
vldual caricatured Is not the ono TO
care--it Is always his wife"
Illustrating the power Of the car
toon in all walks OF life, Mr., Daven-
port related an incident which oc-
eurred IN San Francisco. He stated
that he and a newspaper man were
walking down street one day and
their attention was attracted by q
street "spieler who wore his hair IN

IS DROWN IN CRASH.
FRElGHTER FRANK II. GOODYEAR
SUNK IN COLLISION WITH
JAMES B. WOOD.
ACCIDENT OCCURS IN FOG
Five Of Grew Of Wrecked Vessel Are
saved, But All the Rest Perish

Damaged.

Fort Huron, Enthusiastically eigh.
teen persons lost their lives in a col.
hslon between the large steel steam.
er Frank H. Goodyear of the Mitchell
transit company and the steamer
James B. Wood, another steel vessel
belonging to the Gilchrist Transporta-
ton company, in Lake Huron about
| thirty-five miles of Point Aux Bar.
CUES. The Goodyear sank in 40
fathoms Of water. But five persons
were saved.
The collision occurred about six
o'clock Tuesday morning in heavy
fog which overhung the lake.
A partial list of missing follows:
Mrs. Lillian Bassett, wife of cook,
Algonac, Mich: John Bassett. three
years old, Algonac; Archie Fuller, Sec
ond mate, Algonac; John Gibson.
chief engineer: Gus Zaetsch, first
mate, Algonac.
When the steamers came together
the crew Of the Goodyear, which Ii
reported to have been struck amid.
ships, had time only to seize life pre-
servers. Only q few could jump over.
board. before the boat began to fill
with water. The cook had Just
sounded the second call for breakfast
on the Goodyear when the crash came
and many were in the messroom.
All rushed on deck and then the boat
began to sink. Several jumped into
the water and managed to get out Of
reach of the boat. which was filling
fast.
Suddenly the Goodyear parted in
the center and with a sound which
could be heard above the whistling of
the Wood. sank out Of sight. carrying
with it all except FIVE on board.
The bow Of the Wood was stove in,
but she rested on her bulkhead, and,
although some water flowed into the
hold, was kept afloat with the pumps.
Captain Gibson Of the Wood ordered
the lifeboats lowered and gave the
crew instructions to make every pos.
sible effort to save any of the sail.
ors Of the sinking steamer.
Many Of the Goodyear's crew were
killed by falling matches before they
had a chance to jump into the water.
All had on life preservers when their
vessel sank. The cooks baby was
dashed from his arms by falling
hatch and the infant was lost.
For more than seven hours the
Wood remained at anchor near the
scene of the collision, the captain
hoping that he would be able to save
others Of the crew OF the Goodyear.
When the fog rose nothing was in
sight, and as his boat was damaged
and in danger Of sinking he decided
to return to this port.
Both the Wood and the Goodyear
are large steel vessels. The Wood is
514 feet long and the Goodyear was
1876 feet long.
