STEAMSHIP AND LAUNCH
MAKE HASTE TO RESCUE
Passengers and Crew Will Be
Taken to Valdez

VALDEZ, Alaska, Dec. n.-News of
the wreck of the Olympia was re-
ceived here as soon as the military
cable Office opened this morning. The
steamer June was at once notified,
and at 10: 80 this morning put out into
the storm to so to the assistance of
the Olympia. The government launch
Fort Liscum followed two hours later.
The mail steamer Dora sailed from
Seward at IL q. M, and should reach
the scene of the wreck by midnight.
The Dora is a stanch seagoing steam
er and can weather the storm better
than the smaller craft and has put
out to the assistance of the Olympia
from here, 1t is probable the Dora
will take off the passengers as the
smaller craft cannot approach the
wreck in the storm. AS soon as the
passengers and crew are rescued they
will be brought to Valdez.
The scene of the wreck, 20 miles
from here, is a small reef extending
from the southeast end of Bligh is
land at the entrance of Tititilik pas
sage Although only a short distance
from Ellamar. it is exposed to the sea
and, is swept by tremendous waves
whenever there is a gale.
Capt. Daniels is thoroughly familiar
with the passage, it being the regular
route of vessels bound from Seattle
and CordoYa to Valdez. At the north
west end of Bligh island is Bushy
point, where the steamer Saratoga was
wrecked three years ago. The steamer
Oregon was wrecked in 1906 in the
same vicinity.

EARL AND GIRL"
A CLEVER SHOW
Ferris Hartman and His Com
pany Give First Local Pre-
sentation of Comedy
BURBANK OFFERS A NOVELTY
"A Message from Mars Proves
Popular at Main Street
Playhouse

1.-THE Earl and the Girl" given its
first Los Angeles presentation by Fer
ris Hartman and his company at the
Grand opera house yesterday after
noon, is a sprightly musical comedy
with more of a plot than we have
come to expect in offerings of the kind,
numerous tuneful songs and ample fun
making opportunities. 1t is of English
origin Seymour Hicks and Percy
Greenbank being responsible for the
book and lyrics, while Ivan Caryll COM
posed the music. interpretations seem
to be a Hartman habit and there are
several of them in this piece, but the
audience likes them, and that, doubt
less, is Mr.. Hartmans justification for
their use. For instance. it must have
been Hartman and not Hicks or Green
bank who contrived this colloquy:
my deaT," says one young woman.
costumed in replica of lingerie ad
in the back of the magazines, Il was
just coming to you to borrow hair
pin"
How queer!" answers the other,
similarly clad. do you know, 1 was
just coming to you to borrow some
hair"
In the comedy Hartman assumes the
identity of a dog trainer who, for a
consideration, is induced to impersonate
the earl of Stole. Numerous individ-
uals are on the earl's trail, anxious
to revenge themselves for real or
fancied grievances, and of course the
masquerader has a lively time of it.
That is the barest possible outline of
what happens. The way it happens
and the way it keeps on happening,
with Interruptions only to allow chorus
and orchestra to earn their salaries,
provides more genuine laughs than
have been heard before at the Grand
in many weeks.
Hartman, with q Cockney dialect
direct from Bow Bells, gets even more
fun out of his role than the authors
put into it, and they were not mig
gardly. Muggins Davies as the dog
trainers tiancee, Walter de Leon as
the real earl, Marta Golden as a pro-
fessional strong woman and Myrtle
Dingwall rs the earl's sweetheart all
win and merit the audiences approval
Joseph Fogarty. absent for several
weeks, returns to the cast as New
York lawyer. The part is not con-
spicuous, but he was given hearty
welcome upon his first appearances.
Among the best of the musical num-
bers are duet in the first act, sung
py MISS OlnSWdl anu Mf. ue Leoh'
and which is accompanied by some
very good travesty; "A Girl Some
where, contributed by Miss Dingwall
and chorus; Hartman's topical song.
Its a Lie,' in which he informs us
that Teddy will "come back" and that
Chief of Police Galloway really hasn't
"wheels;" 1.-The Royal Grenadiers," a
march song, with the entire chorus in
grenadier costumes, and the duet of
the last act, sung by Ferris Hartman
and Muggins Davies.
The piece is we'll costumed and Is
deserving of good patronage.

PORTUGUESE CLERICALS
ARE GOING TO AUSTRIA
Orders Expelled by Republic
Planning Invasion

VIENNA, Dec. 11.-At the time of
the revolution in Portugal anti-clerical
circles in Austria raised the demand
that something should be done to pre-
vent Portuguese monks from settling
in this monarchy, which, it is alleged.
already has far too many religious or
ders of it's own. The court and the
strongest political parties, however, be-
ing clerical in their sympathies, no
measures have been taken to ward off
the danger of a Portuguese monkish
invasion. This is inevitable, in view
of the unfavorable attitude of the 9TH
err Roman Catholic countries, and now
appears to have begun.
According to information from Salz-
burg an estate named Mittenwald, in
Carinthia, has been sold for $S0,000 to a
Portuguese religious order, which
bought 1t for cash in the name of a
professor of divinity of Laibach.
Count Ivan .Batthyany, according to
a report from Steinamanger, in Hum
gary, is going to make over his castle
of Schlaining, in the neighborhood, for
a similar purpose. The castle is di-
vided into two parts, and one wing
will be adapted for monks and the 9TH
err for nuns from Lisbon. The Portu-
glese monks intend to manufacture
liaueurs there, and a number of the
local population have been invited to
Join as lay brothers. The plan is being
financially supported by number of
Hungarian magnatesi among whom
Prince Esterhazy is mentioned.
1t is also stated that the historic
castle of Taufers in the Tyrol, has
been bought on behalf of the Jesuits
who have been banished from Portugal.

MESSAGE FROM MARS
PLEASES AT BURBANK

"a Message from Mars" the inter-
planetary offering at the Burbank this
week, is drama of quick surprises,
shifting scenes and novelties which
keep the audience guessing. AS audi
ences would rather guess than know in
advance, two houses yesterday ap-
proved the message, and applauded the
messenger in a manner that indicated
much popularity for the piece.
The second act is the meat of the
play, and comprises a series of dream
incidents in the life of one Horace
Parker. a selfish millionaire scientist.
A Marian who has fallen under the
ban in his own planet has been sent to
earth as a punishment, and ordered
not to return until he has redeemed
Parker from his selfishness. He
possesses a terrible weapon in the form
of a mysterious power which enables
him to do superhuman feats such as
whirling furniture about, making walls
tremble and producing general electri-
flying results upon anything he
chooses. SO he forces Parker to go
out with him into the cold winter
night, give away his money and even
his fur coat to the poor, and incidental
ly obliges him to listen to opinions of
himself expressed by his friends at
ball. All this happens in the dream.
Then Parker awakens, and the effect
of the dream upon his waking life sur
prises all his friends.
Howard Scott has made his reputa-
ton principally in carefully studied
delineations of character AS the man
from Mars there is nothing for him to
do but give powerful utterance and
presence to his lines and part. His
makeup was excellent, and he held the
elusive Sunday audiences marvellous
ly throughout the rather lengthy philo-
sophie discourses of his role. In this
he was given the best of cooperation
by A. Byron Beasley, in the role of
the selfish Parker. There is a fine
vein of comedy with a serious trend,
in the latter part, and Beasley proved
again that he is at his best when al
lowed to get away from straight
meaning merely heroic-characters.
Miss Rambeau is required principal
ly to be dignified and charming and
she threw a great deal of conscientious
effort into the task, even though it
merely required that she should be
natural. David NJ. Hartford as man
in bad luck added bizarre touch to
the play. Although there are proba-
bly, couple of dozen other persons in
the drama they are merely accessories
to the general story.
"a Message from Mars teaches q
lesson without preaching and without
sacrificing it's dramatic interest. This
is it's first presentation by local stock
company.

Mason opera house this evening in

LOSS OF SHIP CRIPPLES
ALASKA TRANSPORTATION
BIigh Island Reef Scene of Sew
eral Recent Disasters

SEATTLE, Dec. 1.-THE Alaska
Steamship company's steamer Olympia
was wrecked on the Bligh island reef,
forty miles from Cordova, Alaska, at
1850 this morning.
The only information received here
of the wreck was brief message from
the company's agent at Valdez, saying
the ship had gone on the reef.
The message sent at 10 o'clock this
morning said: "All hands on deck"
This is taken as indicating that the
passengers and crew were preparing
to take to the boats.
, The Olympia sailer from Seattle De-
cember with twenty-six passengers
and several hundred tons of freight.
The passengers who went north on the
steamer first sailed on the steamer
Northwestern which grounded in False
bay San Juan island, early in the
morning of December 2, a few hours
after sailing from Seattle for the north.
The Northwestern passengers were
brought back to Seattle and resumed
their journey on the Olympia, which
was hurriedly put into commission.
The Olympia had already called at
Cordova, and as only a few passengers
were bound for ports west of there it
is probable that not more than dozen
passengers were aboard when she
struck.
The Olympia, an iron screw ship of
1887 tons gross, was built at Glasgow,
Scotland, in 1883 and was christened
the Dunbar Castle. Later she was
transferred to American registry and
her name changed to Olympia. Her
home port is Seattle. She was under
command of Capt. j. T. Daniels and
was valued at $250,000.
The Bligh island reef, where the
Olympia struck, is unlighted. This To-
cality has always been dangerous.
Three Alaska liners have been wrecked
within a radius of fifty miles of the
point where the Olympia struck. They
were the oregon, the Saratoga and the
Northwestern. The Northwestern was
salved and repaired at great expense,
only to be wrecked again ten days ago.
She was fioated from her perilous posi-
ton in False bay yesterday and
brought to Seattle, where she is again
undergoing repairs.
The loss of the Olympia at this time
is serious blow to the transportation
facilities Of the north. The Alaska
Steamship company is not the only one

GETTING GOOD RESULTS
AT TINTON COMPANY MILL

The management of the linton
Reduction company expresses much
satisfaction with the way affairs at
the plant are progressing and ap-
pears confident that the present
equipment will accomplish practical
ly all that was expected of it. The
recovery of tin is being effected to
a more perfect degree than ever be-
fore and 1t is announced that the
mill is now being operated at a
profit. Z.
The practical working of the
plant has made apparent a number
of improvements that might be in
stalled with profit and such addi-
tions to the equipment will be made
from time to time, as occasion re-
quires. There is already talk OF an
extensive increase of the capacity
and 1t is not unlikely that a move
in that direction will be made next
spring. Last winter the plant was
not in shape to stand a siege Of cold
weather, many of the pipes being ex
posed to the frost. These defects
have been remedied SO that they wlil
be able to go through the coming
wI-ter.
