ANGRY PASSENGERS
HOLD DEATH THREAT
OVER SHIP CAPTAIN
Santa Rosa Survivors Say
His Obstinacy Cost
Twenty-nine Lives.

SANTA BARBARA, Cal, July s.
That four seamen and twenty-five pas
sengers perished in the wreck of the
steamer Santa Rosa off Arguello Point,
was the statement of survivors who ar
rived here on a special train today.
Purser Carlton, of the Santa Rosa,
who has also arrived, admitted that he
is unable to check of the list of pas
sengers. and that he is by no means
certain that all of the go passengers
were landed safely.
The survivors bitterly criticise Cap
tain Farts for holding them on board
the vessel as she lay on the rocks all
day yesterday, refusing to permit them
TO land when they insisted upon it, and
when a landing could have been effect
ed without peril to anyone.
Finally, rendered desperate by the
rising gale yesterday afternoon, the pas
sengers named a deputation, headed by
]. D. Collins and Edward Montrose, of
San Francisco, which threatened to
shoot Captain Faris unless he allowed
them to land.
With the wind and sea rising alarm
ingly, Faris yielded, but a few minutes
later the steamer split am1dShips and
began to break up. Second Mate Hew-
SUI ana SedUneH rTeu JeLSoI, Ed Jep-
sen, and John Sitter put off in a life
boat Their boat was swamped quickly,
and all perished. The passengers de-
clare the loss of life would have been
appalling had not the breeches buoy
foated ashore, where 1t was made fast
by ranchers and railroad laborers, the
200 passengers being dragged through
the surf by the crowds lining the beach.
Charles Miller, of San Francisco, who
swan ashore through 300 yards Of boil
ing surf from the Santa Rosa, said to-
day that he saw a woman with her
baby in her arms go down. r. A. Fair
banks, of San Diego, and John Tufts,
Of Auburn, corroborated this statement
Two sentries were posted along the
beach near the scene of the wreck to-
day to watch for bodies.
While the survivors assert that the
officials of the steamship company are
trying to conceal the number Of per-
sons who perished, none Of the Santa
Rosa officers would say that only Hew-
son and three sailors were drowned.
All the passengers were drenched dur
ing the trip from the wreck to the
beach, and 1t is feared some will die
as a result of exposure.

Writer Has Claim
To Percival'S Sword

Miss Mary ]. Stafford. the author,
whose lineage claim to the brazen scim-
tier presented by the ruler Of Muscat
to Commodore Percival in 1874, may be
considered when the Supreme Court of
the United States considers the litiga-
ton over the ancient weapon, now on In
the Boston courts, left today for New
York.
Until yesterday Miss Stafford, who
lives at 1908 r street, was ignorant as
to the whereabouts of the famous weap-
on. Her niece, Miss Florence Stafford,
said today that she knew nothing Of
her aunt's plans regarding the sword.
Commodore Percival was Miss SAT-
ford's great uncle. During the naval
operations Of 1872, while he was In
command of the Constitution, known as
"Old Ironsides," he saved the life of
the Imaun of Muscat. The scimiter was
presented to him as a token from the
ruler.

DICK REPORTS ON
FIGHT FOR BETTER
PAY FOR CLERKS
Tells How Chase Committee
of One Hundred Is Be-
ing Strengthened.

The first report Of Director Charles
Dick. of the campaign for better re-
muneration for Government employees,
started by the Chase committee of 100,
was received by subscribers TO the SS0,-
O1O fund today.
In a formal statement to the sub
scribers, former Senator Dick outlines
the progress made to date. Correspond
ence is being conducted, he says, with
the mayors of many cities and The
governors of every State with a view
to having appointed to the committee,
representative men of the States and
cities. This correspondence so far has
resulted encouragingly, according to the
report. When this is completed. every
State will be represented and the in
fiuence OF the committee Is thus ex-
pected to be greater in securing de-
sired legislation from Congress.
A study Is being made of civil service
retirement and pension systems main
tained by cities, industrial concerns, and
railroads, as well as of other govern
ments. Articles upon the Iesults of
these Investigations are being prepared.
Conditions in the Federal service are
also being investigated" continues the
report, in order to be in position to
determine what recommendations should
be made to Congress. The work of the
special session is being confined to
narrow limits, but during the regular
session next winter 1t is expected we will
be prepared to make strong appeal for
consideration at the hands or Congress.
The treasurer reports the f1rst assess
ment on contributions to the fund has
been paid in full, and 1t will be our
aim to keep expenses as small as may
be compatible with doing effective work
and obtaining the desired results"
The offices of the committee are at
1851 Colorado building.

SOLDIER
SUICIDES
CORPORAL DERsYsHiRE TAKES A
SHOT AT HIS OWN HEAD
WITH SERIOUS RESULTS

DENVER, Mar. 1S.-After a night oi
carousal, b. Derbyshire, corporal in
the United States signal corps sta
toned at Fort Logan, shot himself
through the head in room at the
Dorrance hotel on Welton street, short.
ly after z O'Clock this morning. Der
byshire's chant of life are meager
and should h. survive he will be
frightfully disHgured.
c. H. Whitesell, Derbyshlre's clos
est friend, and clerk of the signal
corps, was sleeping in the room at
the time Derbyshire shot himself. The
sound OF the shot awakened him and
he ran to his friends bedside to find
him lying with a gaping wound in his
head and evidently dying.
Although Whitesell was unable this
morning to assign any reason for his
friends suicide 1t was evidently pre-
meditated. Whiesell and Derbyshire
came to town from Fort Logan Thurs
day and on Friday morning Derbyshire
bought, in a pawnbroker's shop, the
revolver with which he attempted his
life. He mentioned having bought the
revolver to Whitesell but he gave no
reason for doing SO.

of demonstration against the per.

The statement was made by an Off

have been so rigid that the news has
just crossed the border by word OF
mouth. though the official report may
now be in the hands Of the state de
partment in Washington.
The demonstration against Diaz was
precipitated so suddenly that the po!
lice were unable to dispense the mob
before great amount Of window glass
had been broken. The riot occurred
at O'Clock in the evening when the
streets about the official residence
were filled with people. Without any
prelude or excitement there was a
movement of men and youths from the
side streets in the vicinity OF the

known as the Moffat road, has ad-

the $4,000 and handed the money
over to the man. The bank employees
saw the man and supposed the trans
action was a business one. The man
further told Mr.. Moffat II he ventured
to give an alarm until he was out
