senator. They have been cleared

sion had not been rendered there would

Quotes w. G. Brown on Crops.
William C. Brown, president OF the
New YORK Central railroad, after an
exhaustive tour through the west, SAYS
that ther. will be bumper crops, both
In wheat and corn.
"Of course the stock market suffers
because Of the uncertainty OF legisla-
ton at washington.
Referring to the steel investigation,
Mr.. Depsw said: THE commission
was much astonished over Ebert Fl.
Gary's testimony that the steel trust
did less than 50 per cent OF the steel
business end would not do more than
So per cent II 1t could. and, further
more, welcomed rigid control over bust
ness to point where the government
ixed prices.
"As tbs commission had started 10

was a monopoly, his testimony was

Says TAFT Gains Strength.
Regarding the political situation Mr..
Depew said: There is one impress
sion have received, namely, the grow
ing popularity OF Mr.. Taft. He Is the
only president in my long experience
who. having made up his mind as to
what he considers best, never con-
siders what the result will be Of his
political future fortunes
This attitude Is more and more inn
pressing the people. Ee Is both safe
and sane. Six months ago l would have
said that the Democrats would have
won hands down. but the growing
strength Of Taft IL changing the situ
alton very rapidly.
IF tho Democrats nominate Har-
mon. the Bryan element will not be
enthusiastic: II they nominate Wilson,
then the conservative Democrats will
be likely to supper the republican
ticket

at the biennial might be referred for
discussion and their relative merits de.
cided upon. Some OF the most i'm.
portant resolutions ever before the

such i nature as to demand quite a
little investigation, ana It was to de-
eide upon the advisability OF the state
federation carrying out these resolll-
lions that the meeting was called yes
terday. Those In attendance were
Mrs. Mabel v. D. Hutchison Of OF.

luton asking for an appropriation

five of the ship wrecked voyagers
have recovered from the nerve-rack-
ing strain from the battle with the
breakers in the dark night. Many OF
the rescued women are still hysterical
under the care of physiciane who were
called when the special trains pear
ing the survivors arrived here this
morning.
Most OF the passengers were vene-
ment in their denunciation OF the
ships officers who refused to land the
messengers soon after the Santa Rosa
grounded.
Captain Faria, who was making his
first trip as commander of the vessel,
declined, they say, to listen to the
pleas of the passengers who desired to
be put ashore before the gale arose
yesterday evening, and brought them
face TO face with death. He replied
to entreaties 1t Is said, with the state
ment that he had received instructions
from the Pacific Coast Steamship Of
ficials to permit no one to go ashore
until 1t became absolutely necessary.
Captain J. o. Faria. commander OF
the wrecked steamship Santa Rosa In
statement placed the blame for the
stranded condition Of the steamer and
the known loss Of four lives upon the
shoulders of Third Officer Thomas VINO
was officer of the deck when the
Santa Rosa plunged upon the rocks.
Thomas In defense stated that he
the ships log and thought
he was off Point Conception, several
miles south OF the point where the
steamer grounded.
Members Of Crew Drown.
Heuson and three seamen of the
steamer Santa Rosa, OF the Pacific
coast steamship company. which went
ashore at Point Arguello yesterday
are known to have been drowned when
life boat capsized, while the pas
sengers of the wrecked weasel were
being taken ashore by the crew.
Early toda, unconfirmed reports were
that number of passengers. variously
estimated at from three to twenty. are
missing. Owing to the isolation of the
scene of the wreck, accurate informa-
ton is not yet obtainable.
The known dead:
II. HEUSON, second officer.
FRED JOHNSON. seaman.
JOHN PSIFFER, seaman.
e. w. JEBSEN, seaman.
The Santa Rosa went ashore just
before dawn, at the mouth of Honda
creek. 1t is supposed that Il powerful
searchlight used by gang of railroad
workmen who were working near the
vessel is the cause of the vessel leav-
ing its course, the quartermaster mis-
taking it for the digit of the Point
Arguello light house.
Captain First Scented Danger.
When the boat struck, the injury
did not appear to be serious, and Cap
tain Faria. believing he would be able
again to float the Santa Rosa made no
attempt to land the passengers. A
sharp wind. rising soon after four
O'Clock, threatened to rock the boat
to pieces and hasty preparations were
made to take the passengers and crew
ashore. At $50 o'clock a heavy swell
cracked the vessel amidship and at six
O'Clock, 1t split in two.
