What's Matter With Texas? Why,
Too Many Colonies, Says Still

HOUSTON, Tex, Aug. Is
Henry Clay Still is very loud and
noisy and .yociferous on the colo
mel question. He's deed set agin'
any and all colonels-that is, vol
unteer colonies, not the regular
sure-enough article. And he's
making race for governor of
Texas on that platform.
"There are entirely too many
colonies in this state, and all
through the south, with Ken
lucky leading by a big majority,
but Texas is coming up at good
gait" said Private" H. Clay
Still to an assorted conglomera-
ton of colonies the other day.
OF course, his idea doesn't take
we'll with the colonies, but it lis
tens fine to the privates.
why" snorted Still, Sin the
last state democratic convention
three out of four men were called
'colonels.' Some of them were
not old enough to have been in
the Spanish-American war.
There are not privates left in
the south any more" But here
Still was slightly exaggerating.

90 MEN LEAP
To SAVE
LIVES
(By United Press Leased Wire.)

(By United Press Leased Wire.)
GAVIOTA, CAL, Aug. 2S. -
The oil steamer Rosecrans is on
the rocks near here today, a total
wreck and three members of her
crew are injured, one probably ia
tally, the result of tank explo-
sion aboard her last night. The
loss will be more than 100000.
Oscar Kneesland, seaman, is
dying from injuries received
when he leaped from the ships
superstructure and failed to clear
the decks.
The other injured were taken
to a Santa Barbara hospital,
where 1t was reported today that
they will recover.
The remaining members of the
crew of Al men saved their lives
by leaping into the water and
swimming ashore. Many who
were below decks were miracu-
lousy saved by being blown by
the force of the explosion clear
of the vessel and into the sea.
The Rosecrans had arrived
from Redondo beach late In the
afternoon and had anchored off
the Alcatraz pier. She was TAX
ing aboard a cargo of oil when
the explosion occurred. It's cause
is not known. Five minutes later
a second explosion spread flames
to every part of the vessel and
she sank within an amazingly
short time.
The Rosecrans was owned by
the Associated Oil company. She
was purchased by the United
States government during the
Spanish-American war for use as
a transport. She had been near
destruction in many accidents.
