Marshfield, Ore, Jan. 13. - At
1880 o'clock this afternoon four
persons, believed to be Harold Mil
lis, Captain Duggan, Mate Nichols
and Purser Hedges were seen to
leap from the doomed Czarina. Mil
lis waved his overcoat just before
taking the leap. All four men
jumped together and were immedi-
ately swallowed up In the surf,
which is running high. This leaves
but one survivor of the 25 men who
were aboard the Czarino, First As
sistant Engineer Harry Kentzel,
who was rescued late last night.
At o'clock this morning Assist
ant Engineer Harry Kentzell, too
weak from delirium to talk intelli-
gently andbarely able to stand, reach
shore and declared that Captain Du-
gan and Harold Mills were lashed to
the last remaining spar, and are still
on board the vessel. The captain
was bound against his will.
An hour later C. ]. Mills returned
from the jetty with the news that J.
Robinson, an assistant engineer of
the vessel, drifted ashore at an early
hour. He reported that Captain
Duggan, the first officer, and Harold
Mills, a son of c. ]. Mills, are still
alive in the rigging.
The weather is intensely cold and
furious gale is raging. 1t is hardly
believed that the men lashed in the
rigging of the ill-fated vessel can
much longer withstand the exposure.
Frozen about a heavy bolt pro-
truding from a ships spar, which
had evidently disemboweled him, the
entrails of one of the victims of the
wreck OF the schooner Czarina were
washed to the beach this afternoon.
Another body came ashore last night.
Lashed to the mainmast, the only
remaining timber above the Czarina's s
battered and wave-swept decks, four
men were discernible through the
dense mist at noon. Through a tele-
scope three of the unfortunates could
be seen to move. The other appeared
to be dead.
The steam schooner Nan Smith Of
San Francisco is standing by ready
to give aid to the four men still
aboard the ship Because of the
heavy seas shehas been unable to
approach the wreck

TWENTY FIVE LOST LIFE IN SHIP WRECK

AGROUND ON COOS BAY BAR

fornia student, Second Mate Nichols
and Purser Hedges.
Harold Mills of the University of |
California is one of the four men
still lashed to the only remaining
mast. The young man is still alive.
The Czarina left Coos Bay shortly
before 2 o'clock. On the bar she
encountered a terrific sea and those
who watched the vessel say that she
encountered 63 seas before getting
out. The engines were unable to
and tn ebig vessel barely was able
to get around the jetty She fought
her way until it was necessary to
pull the fires out from under her
engines. The anchor was dropped in
still water outside the breakers, but
soon the gale carried the vessel in
side. The anchor, however, held her
from coming close enough to be
reached. Several lines were shot at
the steamer but she was too far out
to be reached. The surf was too
heavy for hfeboats to live in but an
attempt was made to launch the surf
boats. Like a mere shell the boat
was thrown back on the beach and
Captain Boyce of the life saving
crew, who was waiting In deep water
was hurled back on the sand.
al hope of saving the Czarina
from shore was then gone and those
on the bank were compelled to watch
the men on the ship meet death.
Darkness closed over an awful sight,
when apparently only six of the crew
were still left hanging helplessly to
thetorn rigging of the rapidly foun-
dering ship. When the stay on one
side of the mast broke the victims
we're seen to still cling to a rope,
but afterward dropped one by one
into the water. AT another time a
member of the crew yentured to the
deck and was washed overheard. An
other was following him and man
aged to climb back on a cable To
place Of safety only a few minutes
later to be dashed by the waves into
the ocean.
The doomed men clung to anything
that would hold them above water

death of those who had gone before
Assistant Engineer Harry Kent
zell the only survivor of the wreck
to reach shore, says that blood wal
flowing from the heads of many OF
the crew because of the blows they
had received by the breaking vessel
Seafaring men today are of the
opinion that the first seas that STRUCK
the vessel shifted her cargo and
probably damaged the steering gear
to such an extent as to eliminate al
chances of getting to sea after she
had swung around by the waves and
washed ashore.
The stranded vessel is lying on al
most the identical spot where the
old Arago left her bones 13 years
ago. The vessel also went on the
north spit and four lives were lost

commanded the vessel, was consid
cred one of the most competent sea

public by a man whose name was
withheld, but whose character and
truthfulness, the article declared,
are beyond question.
The confession is said to have
been written by Lamphere, although
no copy of it was found among his
effects after his death at the prison.
The confession in substance is as
follows:
Mrs. Guinness and her children
were chloroformed by Ray Lam
phere who was robbing the house,
which he set fire to, burning them
to death.
Jennie Olsen was not murdered
by Mrs. Guinness as was supposed,
but was chloroformed and burned
with the rest.
The chloroform used was part OF
that purchased by Lamphere for
Mrs. Guinness. She used some of II
to kill three men. Lamphere saw
one of these men killed, and assist
ed in burying all three. The three
men killed were Andrew Hegetein
and probably Ole Budsberg and
Tonnes Petersen Lein. One ot
these men, possibly Lein, was Mrs
Guinness husband.

Opinion Divided.
There seems to be a division of
opinion as to whether under the
charter should the mayor formally
resign the council can elect a suc-
cessor to him, or call special cleo
ton for that purpose. City Attor-
ney Corby still maintains that the
council has no authority to do this
still maintains the same views on
the subject as set forth yesterday ia
an interview in the Capital Journal.
There are other attorneys in the
city who are inclined to take a diff
ferent view of the subject, and the
subject will probably not be really
settled until Mayor Rodgers forces
1t to an issue by resigning.
Is Still Question.
Whether Mayor Rodgers will re-
sign or not Is still an unsettled
question. The mayor has never
committed himself upon the subject
to the public any further than TO
state that 1t was his intention TO re-
sign, and so far between he and the
public in general II is merely an in
tention which may or may not be
carried into execution. Just how
far he has expressed himself on the
subject to his friends and political
advisers and admirers is not just
known, but 1t is understood from
good authority, one who stands in a
position TO enjoy the confidence OF
the mayor on the subject, that lac
will resign, and that his resignation
will be presented to the council Just
as soon as II can be presented In G

When questioned regarding the dis
appearance of the money Fitzgerald
said he had gone out to lunch and that
when he returned the money was
gone. He was closely questioned at
the time and was shadoWed for
months.
A year after the robbery occurred,
Fitzgerald was arrested by private

charge was not pressed, however, and
Fitzgerald instituted damage suits
against Boldenweck and the detective
agency.

The very purpose of the committee
in meeting at Minneapolis was to make
report. 1t was their duty to carry
out that purpose, and 1t would have
been misfortune and wrong if the
purpose had been defeated by the vol
untary of not intentional absence of
some of the members.
Mr.. James says:
THE statement issued by Senator

yesterday is only positive reoof of what
we saw demonstrated in Minneapolis,
and that is that the republican mem
bers of the committee did not desire
to make report on the Ballinger case
