MARSHFIELD, Ore, Jan. Is.
-Lashed to the main mast of The
foundered steamer Czarina, which
ran aground on North Spit bar
during a terrific storm yesterday,
are four men, the last but one cf
the 20 who were aboard the ves-
sci when she left Coos bay FOR
San Francisco yesterday after
noon.
These men who were sighted at
daylight this morning are believed
to be beyond the reach of life
savers. ALI night long they suf~
fered in the intense cold, the
mercury lowering about the zero
mark.
Whether they are still alive is
a question, but 1t is believed
that at least three of them have
survived their terrible experience
of the night.
Can't Reach Stranded Vessel.
The steam schooner Nan Smith,
which arrived from San Fran
cisco early today, is outside the
bar and it trying to get close 10
the stranded vessel. The storm is
still raging, however, and 1t Is
doubtful whether she will be able
to render assistance.
1t is believed that the men
lashed to the mast are Captain
Dugan, Harold Mills, years
old, Second Mate 'McNichols and
Purser Hedges. 1t is believed
that Hedges succumbed to the
zero weather, but Mills, Captain
Dugan and McNichols seem to be
still alive.
All night long the beach was
patrolled by patchers i'm the hope
that they might be of some as
sistance in rescuing or recovering 2
bodies as they came in shore
and in encouraging the men who
might still be aboard.
Ship Covered With Ice.
When dawn broke this mornin 2
the vessel was covered with ice
and all but one spar had been
washed away. 1t is to this re-
naming spar that Captain Dug
gan, the first officer, and Mills,
are said to be lashed.
Drop Into Angry Sea.
Most of the members of the
crew are believed to be dead. AS
the heavy seas late yesterday
broke over the vessel exhausted
men could be seen dropping from
the rigging into the angry waters
Drifts Ashore Unconscious.
At 8 o'clock last night Harry
Kentzell, second assistant engl-
neer, drifted near enough m
shore to be picked up by the life
saving boat. He remained uncon-
sc:ous until three o'clock this
morning. Even then he was too
weak to talk intelligently.

Rival for Franklin's S Glory

1t is one of the "bromidiums" OF science
that when a practical discovery of great
value 70 the world has been made by one
man It is almost invariably found that
other men have been working along the
same lines, though all Independently of
one another. BOT If trite statement, 1t is
nevertheless an almost universally true
one. The death of Prof. Dolbear recalls
labors that antedated by many years the
working introduction of one Of the most
important business and social agencies
that has ever been given to the world. 1t
is the man who develops and adapts
rather than the man who makes capture
Of new idea or principle who takes his
place among the ,mmortals.
1t has been supposed Franklin had a
clear field and no competitors in his fresh
contributions to electrical science, but It Is
now recalled that If he did not have a COM
petltor he had a co-laborer and experiment
ter, whose name is entitled to larger rec
ognition than It has received in connection
with the earlier stages of investigation
OF this now so widely employed force. An
electrical exhibition is in progress in Phila-
delphia, and among it's features is a card

erable extent in common. In fact, few of

an offset to fullness. A short skirt and
much looped draperies would be decidedly
bunchy in effect and consequently lack
grace.
In the case OF a simple double skirt--that
is, two skirts OF equal depth made from
flouncing or material OF one kind, each
skirt finished in exactly the same way and
arranged one over the other--the lengths
may be the same all the way around Il
preferred. -
This may be round length IL for~house
or formal wear. and may just escape the
ground IL the skirt is to be worn out OF
doors.
When the drapery is cut square across
the front, at about knee length and runs
down to a point In center back then a
slight train is imperative II the gown is to
be a success. ht
The skirt model that exhibits deep hem
of contrasting color will be trying to any
but tall woman unless II is cut with a
slight train, and as both the walking length
and the longer one are considered fashion
able in this particular style there Is no
reason why one should choose an unbe-
coming length.
The skirts of house gowns for morning
wear just touch the floor all around, while
those for afternoons show little train in
the back.
A favored model in the latter style is
made with double box. pleat down both
back and front In panel effect, the former
spreading itself on the floor for several
inches. The sides Of the skirt are smooth
fitting over the hips to about knee length,
where they are met by deep flounce.
This style should prove becoming to stout
matrons. while more slender women will
find the pointed draperies falling over
slightly trained plain skirts equally ef-
! fective.
Evening and dinner gowns are all made
with trains, but dancing frocks for girls
and young matrons are seen In round
lengths in a variety of models. This style
OF frock is always popular during the sum-
mer season for evening wear, because 1t
can be worn for informal dances and din
pers and with a guimpe for festive after

Franklin was a man of the world, while
