Despite their trying experience and
the hardships they had endured the
passengers had only words of praise
for the officers and crew of the
steamer, or the line There was no
panic, except among the steerage
passengers. who, not understanding
English, could not be claimed or di-
rected. They were forced by the
ships crew into the saloon. Some OF
them insisted on running on deck and
a few tried to climb the masts think
ing the ship was going TO sink.

That the fire started before the shiI

loss will amount to $4,000, 600. Other
persons equally conversant with the
situation modify this estimate. Prob
ably the heaviest specific loss must
be estimated in the destruction of
homes. the loss of livestock and the
damage to manufacturing plants in
the upper flood district. The number
of fatalities has been small. Prompt
warnings have preceded the river
rise and residents of the threatened
districts have been more or less alert.
Probably 30 fatalities will be the con-
sentative total.
There has. however, been much
suffering among the homeless. OF
the 10000 or more persons who have
been driven forth by the raging tide,
hundreds have gone hungry and with
out water for many hours, before sue
cor reached them Hundreds have
been imprisoned on house tops, in
trees and anchored on RATS for long
periods Despite the ample warnings

homesteaders remained by their prop

All obstacles to the Caples.McCar-
thy bout we're brushed aside last night
when the men interested agreed to
box twelve rounds for fifty per cent
OF the gross receipts, to be divided
sixty-fve per cent to the winner and
thirty-five per cent. to the loser.
The boys will box clean break The
referee has not yet been named but
will probably be Joe Cohen or Dick
Sullivan.
Caples will not exceed las pounds
and Mccarthy will probably enter the
ring weighing around 142 pounds.
Mccarthy started road work today
He will commence boxing and bag
work on Monday and will train at
Camp Very if no objection is raised.
There are a very sporting lot of fell
lows at the marine camp and they
may be relied on to give the San Fran
cisco boy every assistance in his
work of getting into condition. George
Ingle will act as sparring partner to
Mccarthy.
Young Caples has arranged to use
the Athletic Park for training work.
He will workout during the evenings
as he is engaged at Pearl Harbor dur
ing the day. Wahilani, "The Whirl-
wind" will work with him and may be
seen in preliminary bout provided
a suitable opponent can be obtained
The main preliminary will be an
eight-round affair between George In
gle and Willer, the well known Fort
Shafter gloveman.
The main event promises to be a
rousing affair. The principals are
both of the merchandising type and
don't know what it is to stall.
Both are of undoubted class and it
is a very long time since such an at
tractive match was made in this city

MORRIS BACK
AT THROTTLE

OKLAHOMA CITY, Okla, March
30.-When the afternoon loca. from
Sapulpa pulled in late this afternoon
big man was seen leaning from the
engine cab. He had a broad grin on
his face.
Hello, boys" he shouted to the de-
pot attendants and crowd.
well, bless my soul if it amt Carl.
and back on his same engine, too, eX-
claimed an aged fagman, who has
been in the employ of the Santa Fe
since this city was a flag station.
And sure enough it was. The old
fagman was right, for in a few min
utes Carl Morris, one time white
hope" the man who was confidently
expected to knock Jack Johnson's
block off and reestablish the suprem-
acy of white pugs over the dark
skinned bruisers, stepped off the en-
CINE. Carl started in right away to
tell the boys all about it. Here is
just little of what he said:
81 am sure glad to be back on that
old engine again. She behaves just
as well as she ever did. I'll tell you
I'd rather be a good engineer than a
bum prize fighter. I guess I wasn't
cut out to redeem the prestige of the
white race in the roped arena. Some
language, Ell, boys? l learned that
down East.
81 found out that I wouldn't do.
guess I was too big and slow. l had
the heart all right and wanted so
much to make good, but guess these
old muscles of mine, so used to shov-
cling coal, weren't quite timber
enough. I wasn't in prize fighting for
the money alone. l really wanted to
knock that nigger's head Off but some
other man will have to take the job
now. Anyhow, the life of a prize
fighter who has to pose before the
public and hang around with bunch
of sports, doesn't suit me-"
This is the swan song of the Sapul-
pa giant, and as he sings it he is as
happy as a boy on the last day of
school.

A GREAT AMOUNT WILL Be SPENT
FOR THE COMING OLYMPIC GAMES

1t is estimated that between $4,000.
600 and 100000 will be spent by
about fifteen nations on the Olympic
games to be held in Stockholm in
June and July. This, of course, in
cludes the expense incurred in the
training period for the tryouts and
for other incidentals. 1t is expected
that the s9,OOO,OOO mark will be easily
reached before the last flag is hoisted.
Sweden naturally will open its Golfers
more generously than the other ma
tions, because the Swedes have the
honor of supervising the games this
year.
A sum in excess of 100000 N
Swedish money will change hands.
Of this amount 100000 will be spent
for the construction of stands, $780,

600 will be squandered on the nations
guests and more than 100000 will
be expended in the development of an
athletic team that will make a pre-
sentable ,howing
England will be touched for the
next largest amount, probable $780,
600. The United Kingdom expects to
be represented by 300 athletes and a
special steamer has been chartered
to convey the performers to the scene
of activity.
America will not spend any consid-
cradle sum before the games From
present indications, Uncle Sam will
get by" with about $4,000. 1t will
cost Denmark 100000 and the other
and smaller countries smaller
amounts in proportion to their rep,
resentation.

DENSHAM MAY
JOIN HAWAII

The prospective date Of the depar-
ture of the yatch Hawaii for san Pc
dro is May 4 and Immediately after
that date the local yachting season
will commence in earnest.
The Hawaii Yacht Club expect to
be kept busy till May on matters
connected with the departure of the
trans-Pacific craft.
Work on the Hawaii is proceeding
satisfactorily and in a few days the
yacht will be brought from Pearl Har-
Dor and will be put on the marine
railway.
Just as soon as the yacht is IN
shape the crew will take her out for
a preliminary spin or two prior to her
departure for San Pedro.
Interest in the coming race is in
creasing but it is surprising that so
little about the event is appearing in
the Coast papers A month from now
the race will probably be commanding
space.
There is some talk of a newspaper
man joining the Hawaii at San Pc
dro and racing down with her His
name is Jack Densham and he has
made the trip under similar condi-
lions before. He is a yachtsman Of
considerable experience.
This time, it is said, he will rep,
resent the San Francisco Examiner.

CARL MORRIS
FIZZLES OUT

Carl Morris has returned to his
home in Oklahamo to take what his
manager, Billy Newman, has termed
a much-needed rest. Those who wit
messed the bout between Morris and
Jim Stewart at the Empire A. C..
agree with Newman that Carl needs
a rest from the boxing game, and the
majority of the sports believe that
the rest should be permanent.
AS white hope Morris has been
passed up Many who held out a ray
of hope that the Oklahoma giant
would be the man to take the title
from Jack Johnson were convinced
by his showing against Stewart that
Morris is not the man, He has had
almost two years of training since
fhe left the engine cab in Oklahoma in
July, 1910, and he has yet to show ny
real signs of developing into a cham
pion. He has the gameness, but game
ness will never win a championship
unless built on other requisites, which
Morris lacks
It may be said that he has the size
liz such bulk as Morris carries is not
considered more of hindrance to
