"What Will 1t Cost to Have
Passengers Taken
Of?"
ALLEGED WIRELESS
MESSAGE TO SKIPPER
Government to Find Out If Re.
ported "Haggling" Led to Pa
cific Coast Disaster,

SAN FRANCISCO, July 9.-The loss
Of fourteen lives on the steamer Santa
Rosa because her owners are alleged to
have let pass a day of calm weather
while they haggled over the cost OF
saving a ships company of more than
200, is one of the charges that the own
ers, the Pacific Coast Steamship Com
pany, will be called upon to answer by
the United States Government, which
has ordered an investigation.
The Santa Rosa struck in fair weather
4 o'clock Friday morning, and within a
few hours her wireless apparatus had
summoned three vessels, which stood
by in the easy sea, ready and willing
to- take them off. And while the pas
sengers pleaded that they be taken
off or sent ashore in the small boats,
the officials of the Pacific Coast Steam
ship Company, 1t is charged, were dick
ertng on the price a head tnat would
be the cost of saving passengers and
crew.
Alleged Haggling Begun.
The Centralia was the nearest of the
vessels, and Captain Faria, of the Santa
Rosa, had interchanged messages with
the ship about the removal of passen-
gers and crew. The company's offices
In San Francisco had been So notified.
And then across the waters the wire
less is said 20 nave brought the mes
sage of greed:
ASK the captain of the Centralia
what 1t will cost to have the passen-
gers taken off," is the alleged message
And the captain of the Centralia is
said to have told the captain of the
Santa Rosa that it would cost just what
the Pacific Coast Steamship Company
thought it was worth.
The alleged haggling cost fourteen
lives, it is estimated. and POSSIBLY more.
The sea was calm ard the weather
clear when the negotiations were begun,
but during the hours the Pacific Coast
Steamship Company is said to have
been trying to make Up its commercial
mind, the tickle sea had made up its
mind.
When the Centralia finally was asked
TO take the passengers off, the sea was
running too heavily for her to stand
close enough in to make a quick trans
fer.
Life Boats Launched.
When 1t was seen the sea was rising
several life boats were launched. One
containing fourteen passengers. many
of them women, capsized. Officials of
the company insist all were rescued,
but those who remained on board the
Santa Rosa insist they were drowned.
A little raft with an equal number of
people aboard capsked
Three members Ot the crew were or
dered to take a life line ashore. They
had not rowed a hundred yards from
the vessel when a huge comber unset
their boat and they were drowned be-
fore the eyes of the Mortified passengers
A life saving crew finally succeeded in
getting line to the vessel and the re-
naming l5O passengers were brought
through the raging surf to the beach
more dead than alive
