Especial Dispatch 10 The Call

A STORIA, Nov 12-The steam
~ schooner Washington, Captain
Winkel, which left today for
San Francisco, is close by the
breakers at Peacock spit. off Cape Dis
appointment, just inside the bar, in
a terrific gale, which swept off her
deckload of lumber and makes the
fate of her crew of 20 and 80 passen-
gers, including four women, prob
lematical
Live savers and bar tugs made in
effectual efforts to reach the ship this
afternoon and tonight, but were pre-
vented by the heavy seas. They are
standing by on the beach to render
what assistance they can if the vessel
breaks up, or is tossed high enough
to enable them to rescue the ships
company with the breeches buoy The
Washington's position is precarious in
the extreme.
Just before darkness closed in on
Cape Disappointment, the life savers
saw the Washington still at anchor,
the seas tumbling over her decks.
The Washington's flag was at half
mast, but if she flew any other distress
signals the life savers were unable to
discern them The schooner has no
wireless apparatus.
Starts in Gale
The Washington, en- route from Port
land to San Francisco with 100000
feet of lumber, started out of the bar
just after noon today, in the face of
nasty gale and soon after low tide.
She was seen by bar tugs in the lower
river about two hours later, some dis
tance north of the channel and head
ing in. The tug crews and other
shipping men believe the schooner
broke her rudder and became unman-
ageable.
The schooner could be seen only at
intervals on account of the thick
weather and flying spray, but she kept
drifting to the north, buffeted by the
storm, until she reached the north
west side of Peacock spit. BY that
time she had turned around until she
was heading toward the sea, and APP
parently dropped anchor. Soon after
ward she set her flag at half mast.
but SO far as could be seen, made no
other signs of distress.
The vessels deckload was gone
down to the rail and. at times, the
breakers swept clear over her.
The bar tugs Goliah. Oneonta and
Tatoosh, as well as the Point Adams
life saving crew tried to reach the
vessel, but could not get near her, and
| the tugs came back to the city. They
will make another effort to get to her
tomorrow morning.

afternoon for the north side of the

jury. Hundreds of witnesses have been
called 1t is expected that the trial

known in California as "Jere" T. Burke.
He was born in Joliet, ILL.,. and came to
California about 1880. He had been en-
gagged in railroad work in the east, but
his first work here was as assistant
manager of the San Francisco clearing
house, position he held in connection

February of this year. He studied law
while he was in the clearing house and
was admitted to the bars S.
While nominally he was associated
with the law department of the South
ern Pacific company. under William r.
Herrin, he did not appear in railroad

used chiefly in connection with Iegis-
lation pending at the state capital.

VICIOUS NEGROES IN WASHING-
TON
PAGE FOUR

Since the close of the civil war
Washington policemen have at times
had dangerous experiences with vic
ious negroes of that city. There have
been instances where officers of the
law have been compelled to use their
batons or pistols in self-defense while
engaged in quelling disorder CT i'll
making arrests. Complaints have
been subsequently made by so-called
philanthropists and the officers have
not at all times been sustained in
their conduct while acting in their
line of duty, which procedures on
the part of the authorities of the
capital city have tended to add to
the number OF impudent and vicious
blacks who have been flocking to
Washington since the PRONUNCIATION
OF the emancipation proclamation.
Set upon by mob of colored men
and women while attempting TO ar
rest James Kelly, colored, at Four
and-a-half street and Maryland av-
enue southwest, yesterday afternoon.
Policeman L. e. Beach, Of the Fourth
precinct. was felled with brick and
again with paling torn from

only by careful use of his revolver.

palng in the hands of Derry Fatroy,
burly colored man. Beach made re-
pcated efforts to gain his feet as he

from getting up. Beach realized that
his life was in danger and reached for
his revolver.
As .F'autroy stood with the uplift-
ed paling leveled at the head of the
PROSTATE policeman, Beach drew his
revolver and began firing. The first
shot pierced the right thigh of his
assailant. while the second shattered
Fautroy's wrist and rendered him
helpless. Beach then arose from the
pavement and proceeded to take his
prisoners to the police station.

Beach's way while he was making
for Fautroy, was struck and so Sc
vcrely injured that it was necessary
to place her in the Emergency hos

SEATTLE TO THE GULF BOULE.
WARD.

Houston, Texas, Dec. PA high
way of vitrified brick through noun
tains and over prairie, from Seattle,
Wash. to the Gulf of Mexico, is the
dream Of western organization head
ed by John Brisbane Walker, founder
of the Cosmopolitan Magazine. at
Denver, actual work on the highway
is under way, the State of Colorado
having appropriated s1O,G00,0OO for
the work. A stretch of the road $50
miles in length is being constructed
south Of Denver.
Mr.. Walker recently made a trip
through that part of Texas to be
crossed by the proposed highway. 1t
is proposed to enter the highway into
Texas from Colorado near TeXline,
thence in a straight line through
Houston to the Gulf of Mexico. Har-
ris county. Of which Houston is the
county seat, already has constructed
her part Of the road, it being repre-
sented in 40 of the 800 miles of
boulevards leading from all parts of
the county to Houston.
In support Of the Scattle-to-the-
Gulf highway movement, Mr.. Walker
has prepared interesting figures which
show the relative cost of transporta-
ton by rail and by auto; also the
cost of railroad construction at so
cents per tie and the cost of per-
manent vitrified brick boulevard con-
struction.
MIR. Walker believes the highway
will be built and in operation within
ten years.

NATIONALITY PUZZLE.

Houston, Texas, Dec. 1.-THE pos.
sibility of a little girl being actually
born on American soil and having par.
ents who were both born in Russia
yet the little one being subject OF
the emperor of Germany, was proven
recently.
The events leading to the strange
situation are as follows: There ar
rived on board the North German
Lloyd steamship Hanover, Mr.. and
Mrs. George Bohl. On the ship
coming to dock the early visit of the
stork being anticipated, the lady was
removed to an infirmary, an institu-
ton which is strictly American. The
interesting event of the advent of the
young lady made it impossible for
the immigration officials to conduct
the necessary examination leading to
their being officially landed, conse-
quently, while actually residing on
soil, they were technically
still on board the steamship, which,
still technically speaking, is the soil
of Germany.
The law holds that inasmuch as
as the baby. was born to parents yet
officially unadmitted she was, OF
course, Russian, but as the birth oc-
Cured under the German flag, tech
nically speaking, it is to that flag she
owes allegiance.

Los Angeles, Cal, Dec. flames
3. Mcnamara today pleaded guilty to
the charge of murder and will be SEN
fenced December 5. John ]. McNam-
ara has pleaded guilty to the charge
of destroying the Lewellyn Iron
Works"
This morning early the following
supplementary telegram was received
Los Angeles, Cal, Dec. flames
d. McNamara's plea of guilty included
the explosion of the Los Angeles
Times building, in which nineteen per-
sons lost their lives.
THE announcement Of these pleas
was a thunderclap of surprise"
This news is not simply astounding
it is so stunning that we scarcely
know what to say. 1t is the most shock
ing and horrible disclosure that has
ever been brought to light in this
country and has few equals in all his
tory. 1t reveals a state Of affairs that
is terribly alarming. That high OF
fcers of a numerous and powerful Or
ganization should be guilty of coolly
planning and executing deed so dia
bolical is almost beyond belief.
If the labor organizations do not
purge themselves of such fiends they
are Justly damned to eternal infamy
Can they do it? Perhaps not, but they
ought to be given chance to try
That there are many good men II
these organizations nobody can deny
but whether there are enough to re
organize and control them remains t.
be seen. If they can't, they must ge
out and join the other good people o
the country in crushing them.

LAST MONETARY MEETING

Washington, Dec. 2.-The National
Monetary Commission today entered
upon its final series of meetings to
get the opinions of men versed in
financial matters on the proposed re-
form of the banking and currency
laws of the country. The addresses
and discussions at the recent conVen-
ton of the American Bankers AsSocia-
ton in New Orleans reflected what Is
believed to be the prevailing views OF
the national bankers, particularly with
reference to the proposed National
Reserve Association, which is intend
ed to be a great unification of the
credit of the banking institutions OF
the nation.
The commission still desires, how
ever. to give all interested persons an
opportunity to present their opinions
before the commission concludes its
deliberations and incorporates its find
ings in the form Of bill to be intro
duced in congress.

QUESTIONS ANSWERED.

Why is the Bryan Eagle so much
interested in whether Ousley is really
going to run and also as to whether
Ousley is acceptable or distasteful to
VOTERS? Isn't it a fact that Inc
Eagle really wants Ousley to stay OUT
ely?-Navasota Examiner.
The Eagle doesn't care whether o.
not Ousley is acceptable to VOTERS
but it hopes Ousley will keep out be
cause his candidacy would put new
life in the moribund Bailey question
The prohibition issue is inevitable and
/. will make trouble enough for the
next campaign.
Speaking of the talk of pulling down
Colonel VOTERS to make the sena
torial track clear for Clarence Ousley'
the Houston Post says: But dom
forget that Jake Wolters was never
known as a gutter. He starts nothing
that he can't finish" Coming from the
Post. this may safely be taken as 4
settlement of the question.
