STEAMER IN HURRICANE
Comps Arrives at New York After
Distressing Experience

New York, oct. 22.-With her thirty
or more passengers heartily thankful
that they were able TO set foot on
land once more after passing safey
through the thick Of the tropical hur
ricane which swept the gulf and
soutaern Atlantic seahoard with al-
most record fury, the Southern Paci-
&c steamer Comus reached port yes
terday from New Orleans, four days
late
The Comus left New Orleans on
"Wednesday, October y, and had
hardly got out into the eulf when the
storm broke. C. De Molyneaux sec
rotary TO C. W. Luce general freight
agent of the Southern Pacific COM
pany who was on his way here from
San Francisco on the Comus told the
story of the exciting experience Of the
steamer.
by Friday night we were in the
thick of the hurricane which Captain
c. P. Maxon said was the worst he
had experienced in seventeen years
of sailing in these waters said Mr..
Molyneaux Although the matches
were battened down and everything
was locked tight water forced its way
into some Of the staterooms. The
decks were continually swept the
steamer pitched and rolled frightfully
and everybory, even Captain Marsh
gave up the ship for lost.
There was some distressing scenes
in the cabin and men and women got
down on their knees and prayed for
lyerance With the wind blowing
one hundred miles an hour and the
vessel pitching terribly, the prospects
loked blue Conditions improved the
next day, however, but both sea and
wind continued phenOmenally high,
and there was not enough sun for an
observation. An effort was made 10
find the vessels location by soundings
but without result
"By Monday things were improved
enough to give rs some confidence
and on Tuesday when the captain was
able to get an observation and head
for the Florida straits we all felt that
we had weathered the worst expert
ence in oui@lives.'
The passengers drew UP set of
resolutions compimenting the captain
and officers and crew for their bray
cry and skill in bringing the steamer
safely through her peril The Comus
was IN wireless touch with the shore
except for periods en- Friday and
Monday when the receiving apparatus
was damaged by the storm and had TO
/ be repaired

Los ANGELES AFRICANS
SUE LONG BEACH CHURCH

LONG BEACH, Oct. 20.-The negro
members of the Second Baptist church
of this city have retained City Attorney
S. G. Long to represent them in their
present difficulty with the Second Afri-
can Baptist church in Los Angeles.
The Los Angeles negroes filed suit
Monday, asking that the Long Beach
church members be forced to vacate
their present church on Atlantic ave-
nue. and that the property be turned
over to the plaintiffs.
It seems that number OF years ago
the local negroes wanted to build a
church. They raised $100 and $4OO more
was put up by the communicates In
Los Angeles. The local church had no
charter and the title was made out IN
the name of the Los Angeles Baptist
church. Four years ago the local
negroes incorporated and asked that
the property title be turned over ia
them. This was refused, it is alleged.
The Los Angeles contingent tried to
sell the church and a lawsuit resulted
which was won by the local church
The Long Beach negroes say they have
offered to pay the $4O0 borrowed to the
other church, but that they have re-
fused to accept it.
The lot where the church stands is
valued at $4,000.

CONGREGATIONALISTS
CLOSE GREAT COUNCIL

BOSTON, Oct. 20.-The national
council of Congregational churches, in
taking final adjournment of its four
teenth triennial convention tonight
closed what leaders of the denomlna-
ton say has been the most important
conference in it's history.
Two decisions in particular, in the
opinion of clerical delegates, stamp
the meeting as epoch making-the vote
to centralize the source of denomina-
tional activity and authority and the
unusual number of affiliated Congre-
gational societies holding their an
nual meetings in connection with the
convention.
A church polity committee will in
vestigate conditions and endeavor to
evolve q workable plan for bringing
about the proposed Capitalization. NO
radical transformation is looked for
before the next triennial council meet
ing at Kansas City in 1913.
The centennial Of the founding OF
the American board of commissioners
for foreign missions, held simulta-
neously with the meetings of the ma
tional council, brought to Boston mis-
sionaries from all over the globe.
The council placed itself on record
in resolutions as favoring closer rela-
tions with the Protestant Episcopal
church in matters of church work and
worship, and as favoring union with
the United Brethren and the Methodist
PrOtestant church.

PASADENANS WILL VOTE
ON PLAYGROUND BONDS

PASADENA, Oct. 21.-Forty citizens
Of Pasadena at mass meeting last
evening in the board of trade rooms in
dorsed the report of the Carmelita-
Monk Hill committee and the recon-
mendation of the board of trade direct
ors that a bond election be called to
vote money for the purchase of the
present Carmelita Fairgrounds and APP
proximately two acres of land to the
north, also the Monk Hill site and land
to the west fronting on Raymond ave-
nue., as we'll as $125,000 for the erection
Of a convention hall on the Carmelita
site. A motion was carried unanimous
ly to recommend that the four projects
be submitted to the voters as one prop
osition. 1t Is estimated that 100000
would cover the cost.
The personnel Of the gathering repre-
sented practically every civic and semi
civic organization in the city, as well
as business and professional men. A
number Of those present spoke and all
were optimistic over the prospects of
carrying the bond issue. The substance
of all the argument was that "the city
of Pasadena must draw Itself together
and do something" 1t was pointed out
that the population is over 10000, and
that preparations must be made to care
for that many more inhabitants before
many years. Particular stress was laid
on the fact that surrounding cities are
voting large sums of money for public
improvements, and that it behooves
Pasadena at least to keep pace.
President Geohegan was authorized to
appoint committee to raise funds to
furnish the board of trade rooms in
keeping with the recent addition and
other improvements which are being
made in the headquarters.
A resolution was passed for presenta-
ton to the city commissioners indorsing
the proposition of installing artificial
light at Carmelita Fairgrounds and
asking the city authorities to further
the project. 1t is planned to erect
flaming arc lights to enable citizens
and visitors to indulge in tennis, bas-
ketball, handball and indoor baseball at
night.

FRENCH LINER RUNS ON
REEF NEAR KEY WEST

KEY WEST, Fla, Oct. 20.-(By way
of Havana). The French transatlan-
tic steamer Louisiana, from Havre for
Havana aud New Orleans, is ashore
on Sombrero reef, about thirty miles
east of here. About half of SAT pas
sengers have been brought here and
the others are thought to be not in dan
ger.
News of the Louisiane's plight and
the rescued passengers were brought
here today by the United States rev.
enue cutter Forward. The cutter will
return to take the rest of the passen-
gers from the wreck.
The steamer struck in the hurricane
on Monday. She lies only eight feet
out OF water and it will be impossible
to float her until her cargo has been
jettisoned.
The French liner sailed for this
country by way of Corunna, Spain,
and Teneriffe, with a general cargo,
and 547 passengers.
When within fifty miles of Havane
on Monday and in the teeth of the hur-
ricane, the captain lost control of his
ship, which at o'clock that afternoon
was driven hard upon Sombrero reef.
The cutter found that those on board
were not suffering, and after taking
on as many of the passengers as she
could accommodate she sailed for Key
West.
Reports from knights Key say the
American four-masted schooner Ed
ward T. Stotesbury is a total loss on
Pigeon Key. One man was washed
overheard and drowned. The schooner
was bound from Tampa to Baltimore
with a cargo of phosphate.
The schooner Seraf1ns has been
towed into port. The Spanish schoon-
er Marta from Havana, has been dis
masted and abandoned.

SOUTHEAST FLORIDA COAST
Miami Reports Four Deaths No
Mail or Train Service

MIAMI, Fla, Oct. 20.-Communica-
tion with the outside world was estab-
lished this afternoon for the first time
since Sunday. Storm losses here were
not great. Reports are coming in OF
extensive damage to shipping all along
the southeast coast of Florida. 1t is
reported that there are thirty five
washouts on the East Coast railroad
between West Palm Beach and Stew
art, and it is hard to tell when Miami
will have mail and train service.
Only four deaths have been reported
as the result of a storm which is said
to have been the worst in the history
of the Florida coast.
The schooner Harry T. Haywood,
from Boston, was wrecked off the reef
at Boca Ratone, and three of the crew
drowned. Harry T. Geering of Client,
KY, was killed by falling timbers at
Indian Key.
Scores Of others were injured when
their homes were demolished by the
storm.

molished. At Indian Key the Collins
plantation was devastated. The work.
men were gathered in a house and all
were more or less injured. Twenty
houses were blown down and the resi-
dents were brought to Miami Tuesday.
The auxiliary steamer Francis E.,
from Nassau last Saturday and due
here Sunday, arrived this afternoon
with forty passengers. The vessel went
into port at Bimini and escaped the
storm.
There are reports Of many wrecks,
but their identity and location cannot
be learned.

WHERE Do YOU STAND?'
HANDLEY ASKS STEPHENS
Democratic Congressional Nom
inee Puts Pointed Questions
to His Opponent

Lorin A. Handley, Democratic nomi-
nee for congress from the Seventh dis
trict; John w. Mitchell, a prominent
attorney Of Los Angeles, and w. w.
Harris, Democratic nominee for sherln,
were the principal speakers at the
Democratic mass meeting held in Dow
ney last night. Mr.. Handley delivered
an interesting address, in which ne
dealt with the important issues of the
campaign, including the tariff, the high
cost of living, the needs of Southern
California and the paradoxical position
of his Republican opponent, W. D.
stephens.
Mr.. Handley again demanded that
Mr. stephens should let the voters OIL
Los Angeles county know his poltlcal
convictions.
"The voters Of the seventh congress
sional district" said Mr.. Handley, IN
sist that in this crucial period OF the
states political and Industrial develop
ment a man who aspires to represent
this important district in congress
plainly and unequivocally identified
himself with one or the other of the fac
tions of the administrative party; that
he take a firm and fearless stand either
for the principles of the Lincoln-Roose-
welt league or for the principles of the
old-line regular Republicanism.
Before the primary election W. ~.
stephens was regular Republican and
had always been identified with the Re-
publican machine. He was nominated
as an insurgent Lincoln Re-
publican, and since his nomination he
has spoken from the, same platform
with ]. d. Fredericks, the regular Re-
publican district attorney, and has
identified himself with number of the
regular nominees. 1 ask Mr.. stephens
once more, and I hope that he Will
have the courage to answer: Is ne an
insurgent fighting the standpatters, or
is he a regular fighting the insurgents
''I have asked Mr.. Stephens this ques-
tion a great many times, but he has
never answered. I invited him to meet
me in Joint discussion, but he refused
to do so. I have asked the insurgents
if Mr.. stephens was an insurgent, and
they told me yes. 1 have asked the
regulars if Mr.. stephens was regular.
and they told me yes. And when |
asked Mr.. stephens If he was regular
or an insurgent he said yes. What is
he?"
w. T. Harris, the Democratic nomi-
nee for sheriff, followed Prof. Handley.

CITY OFFICIALS DINE
ON CHINESE DELICACIES
So Year-0Id Picked Eggs, Shark
Fins and Chop Suey Inspect
ed by Health Department

Mysterious and nameless samples OF
Chinese chow wandered hesitatingly
down the throats of several city Off
cials last night when they gathered at
a banquet spread for them by the Woh
Hung Low company in it's new Chinese
restaurant, 9091a Marchessault street.
Among the guests were the most dig
nified members of the council-Presi-
dent Lusk, j. j. Andrews, M. S. Greg
ory, L. L. O'Brien. DIR. Sherwin Glib
bons Of the board of health and Drs. r.
D. Duncan and 1. r. Bancroft of the
health department were other city Off
cials who attended. In addition there
were several inspectors of the health
department.
Most of the food served had been i'm
ported directly from China, and the
health department officials felt they
were not living strictly according to
the rules of sanitation wien they ate
eggs preserved in brine that were more
than 90 years old. These eggs sliced,
with ginger, were one of the tid-bitS
served, and the entire company voted
them excellent. The parts that were
white when they were new and hard
boiled were dark green and looked
forbidding.
There were eight courses, but none
with an American flavor. The first was
stuffed spareribs, with the bones re-
moved; the fish course was a Peking
chop suey, sprouted beans imported
from China was the salad, shark fins
and scrambled eggs followed, then
roasted squads, chicken chop suey,
duck, bacon and celery wrapped to-
gether, chicken and wong yen and Chi
nese sweetmeats. Some of the delica-
cies and relishes were sharks fins pre-
served in syrup, green liechee nuts pre-
served, preserved liver, preserved pork,
and roasted nuts.

HOLD BIC RALLIES FOR
BELL AND SPELLACY
Nevada County Burns Red Fire in
Honor of Democratic Guber-
material Candidates

E GRASS VALLEY, Oct. 2O.-Theodore
A. Bell and Timothy Spellacy held two
big rallies in Nevada county tonight.
At Nevada City and in this city the
candidates for governor and lieutenant
governor on the Democratic ticket
talked to packed houses and were given
great demonstrations.
There was no limit to red fire, fire
crackers and Roman candles in this
city when the party passed through.
They came here from Nevada City in
an automobile and were met by a
crowd at the edge of the city and
escorted to the meeting place.
In his speeches today in Wheatland,
Lincoln, Roseville, Colfax, Nevada
City and here Bell went into the issues
of the campaign fully and attacked the
insurgents because they were now ac-
cusing him of having become the rail-
road candidate after they had assured
him during the primary campaign that
they would support him for governor
if Hiram johnson failed to secure the
Republican nomination.
Bell and Spellacy will speak tomor-
row night at Sacramento.
