STEAMER IS SUNK
United States Tow Boat Mac
Goes to Bottom of Henne-
pin Canal.
BOLT HOLES LEFT OPEN
Had Not Been Plugged on Leaving
the Dock-Damage Is
Slight

A peculiar accident occurred at
the Hennepin canal Saturday night
when the United States towboat Mac
was sunk. The boat was taken from
the government yards Saturday af-
ternoon at o'clock after having
lain there all winter and was run
to the Milan bridge, where it was
anchored for the night. About 10
o'clock the Waterman on the boat
noticed that il was rapidly filling
with water and started the steam sy-
phon. but it was impossible TO pre-
vent it sinking to the bottom of the
canal. Yesterday the water in the
canal was lowered four feet and the
boat was raised from the bottom and
the water was pumped from II. Up
on examination IL was found that six
of the bolt holes had not been plug
ged when the boat was taken from
the dock. After the boat had been
raised the level OF the water in the
canal was raised to its normal height.
Luck I'm where IL Happened.
II the accident had occurred any
place outside of the canal, much
trouble would have been experienced
in raising it. but as IL was, the mat
ter Of raising it was simple. The
Mac has been in the government ser
vice IT years. 1t is IS feet in length
16 feet in width and has depth of
three feet. 1t was formerly the
Freddie and was purchased from
Captain John Streckfus in 1893. 1t
is valued at $500.

MOTORISTS REACH
THE CAPITAL CITY
Contestants in San Francisco
Motor Club Run to Tahoe
Tavern Returning
By R. R. L'HoMMEDIEU

The contestants in the Tahoe tavern
run of the San Francisco motor club
reached Sacramento last night on the
return in good order. The departure
from the tavern was made at a. m.
yesterday. There was a straight run
to Colfax, where a stop was made for
luncheon Then the run continued to
the capital city.
The course was changed Sunday Mi ght
so that the motorists could come back
by the way of Folsom or by the Rose
vile route. The latter proved so bad
on the trip up that they all came over
the splendid 20 miles of good roads
from the prison city. AS far es could
be ascertained, all the cars that reached
sacramento last night had perfect
scores.
The return was even more pleasant
than the trip up. for it threatened rain
for a time, and there was just a little
sprinkling. Most of the time until
Folsom was reached the heavens were
clouded over
The contestants will come down this
morning, checking in on the 4 p. m.
creek boat. Some of the officials came
down by train last night and will head
a delegation of the members of the
club that will take their cars down to
meet the creek boat which brings in
the contestants

AUTO PRICES CUT
BY EMF COMPANY
Initial Step in Revolution of the Motor Car
Industry Reduces Market Quotations
by Hundreds of Dollars

is preparing to increase it's output An
immense addition to plant on Piquette
avenue, Detroit, is just being completed,
and for 1911 the output will be 10000
cars
Walter E. Flanders, president of the
company and the wizard of the auto
mobile industry, is responsible for the
new order of things, and in making the
announcement yesterday he very frank
ly discussed the details of the situa-
ton.
LET me say to you" he said, that
we will be able to make the same
margin of profit at the reduced cost
as we were two years ago. We now
have an investment of $7,000,000, every
cent of which is paid, and we enjoy
unlimited financial resources. In ad-
dition to this we have highly de-
veloped manufacturing and selling or
ganization, and we are able to turn
out every day 80 cars of the thirty
type and 125 Flanders cars, so you see
we are not carrying any burden.
Again, we are very heavy buyers of
raw materials and enjoy facilities by
reason of that which very few COM
panies can touch. 1t has always been
sibIe for reasonable price. and the
fact that there are now $4,000 thirty
cars in use indicates that we have sue
ceeded pretty well. We make our own
drop forgings, motors. bodies and tops
and do our own stamping, so we are
absolutely independent
Now as to present conditions. The
price of materials has dropped. 1t had
to drop because we had been having
inflated values. In producing a per-
fected car in large quantities the man
ufacturing cost has been reduced and
we found that for 1911 we could reduce
the price and maintain the standard.
"I have never believed in changing
the shape of a door, or using different
colored paint in order to bring forth a
so called new model We add any i'm
proyement just as soon as It's worth is
proven, but it goes with the car. Our
aim has been to produce a standard car
and we have reached stage where we
guarantee our cars for q year. The
reduction in price takes Immediate ef-
feet and today we have not a car on
hand. Although we are busy doubt
if there are any unsold cars in the
hands of dealers"
The action of the company will be
welcome news to dealers throughout
the country, who have been disturbed
by the uncertainty of the last few
months.
It is limited that the EMF company
has In process of construction a seven
passenger car which will sell for less
than $4,000 and which will compete
with any car regardless of cost, but
this is evidently a. state secret, S none
of the Officials would say anything
about 1t.

SWIMMERS soaked
Water Dogs of Mission High
School Win Relay Race by
Disqualification

Mission high school and Lowell met
in a dual swimming meeo at the Luriine
baths yesterday. 1t was one of the best
contested events of its kind held this
season. The outcome was in doubt I'M
til the relay event, which was decided
last. Though Lowell came home in
front by a narrow margin. the Sutter
street school team was disqualified for
breaking and the relay was credited to
Mission, which gave them a total OF
29 points to Lowelrs 27.
The races were keenly contestee
throughout. There were many times
when short length separated the win
ner and second man. The star OF the
meet loomed up in Ernest Smith, who
won four Of the events and finished first
in the final lap, but was disqualified be-
cause the third relay man had broke
too soon.
Smith started of by capturing the
440 and the $50. Seldom has this feat
been equaled by high school lad and
his feat amazed a big crowd who were
present
Tilton did some good work and
earned many points for Mission. The
results follow:
so yard dash-Won by Ernest Smith. Lowell
100 yard dash-Won by Smith, Lowell; Guerin,
Mission, second; PRESLEY. Lowell, third.

Oakland and Mission to
Play Rugby Today

Oakland high and Mission high are
scheduled to play at the Grove street
park in Oakland this afternoon. Mis-
sion will go on the field with very
weak line up. There is dissension
among the players, and unless the diff
flculties are patched up the local school
Is not going to cut much of a figure at
Rugby.
Four of the backs will be out of the
game today and they are among the
strongest players that Mission can
boast. They are Guerin, Stafford. Arm
strong and Middleton. To I'LL those
strong and Middleton. To fill these
vacancies some raw material will have
to be used.
The trouble seems to be with Captain
LaIly. The boys have complaints to
make of his treatment and there Is
anything but harmony in the team. The
meeting of Mission and Lowell for the
local Rugby championship will be
marred to some extent unless these
troubles are patched up and the boys
get to work.
