A small opening decline in the COTTON
market yesterday was credited 10 disap-
pointing cables, but support from local
house with Western and Canadian con-
nections and some covering caused a
rally to a small net advance. Lduida-
ton sales. selling by spot houses and pre-
dictions OF an easier spot situation based
ON increases in stocks at interior towns
caused feeling Of weakness and the late
market was unsettled, with the close
barely steady at a decline of 30 points
in August and from 10 to 20 points IN
other options. There was practically no
news regarding the size Of the crop al
though a Memphis house was credited
with preparing an estimate OF oOoO,Voo
bales. Local spot people said that SPIN
ners were calling cotton again. but buying
from that source was less than on Mon
day. and il was said that while mills were
fixing prices on cotton bought I'm Septem-

TRAPPED IN BERTHS
AS STEAMER SANK
victims 6 Sinking of State of
California Killed BY Bruises
BY Rocks.

A tragic tale of the sea Is unfclded
in reports received today by Assist
ant Secretary of Commerce Sweet on
the investigation being conducted by
the department into the sinking of
the steamer State of California in
Gambler bay, Alaska, August II, with
a loss of eighteen passengers and
seven members of the crew. That the
passengers who lost their lives were
trapped as they slept in their berths
and that when the boat went down.
in three minutes and a half after
striking the rock. they were killed
by bruises and injuries as the boat
sank, rather than by drowning. is
brought out il the testimony of the
witnesses.
The whole upper part OF the boat
wss blown apart as II by an eN-
plosion, due to the air pressure as
she went down, and the bodies, as
they rose TO the surface. bore mute
evidence Of the futile struggles made
by the wounded passengers to free
themselves from the ships debris
IS they sank beneath the waves.
Responsibility Not. Fixed.
Responsibility for the wreck cannot be
fixed until it is known whether it was
a charted or uncharted rock on which
the boat sank. The inland passes n
Alaska in Frederick Sound were charted
In 1889. Maps on file at the office Of the
Secretary Of the Interior show a num-
Der Of rocks near the points where the
steamer sank. 1t is the belief OF the
department officials that 1t was one of
these charted rocks that was struck. but
testimony on this point has not been
sufficient to establish the fact. In the
preliminary report of two Investigations
being conducted by branches Of the de-
partment at Juneau, Alaska. and Seat
lie. Wash, the testimony Of thirty-two
witnesses, surviving passengers and
members of the crew, have been taken.
Testimony Is Desired.
The testimony Of Captain Gam and
Second Mate McGillivray. who were on
the bridge and saved themselves, is de-
sired by the investigators, but the cap
tain and mate have gone to the vicinity
stantiating their claim that ii was an
uncharted rock which caused the
trouble. Upon this point depends the
matter Of fixing responsibility. II II is
found that IL was a charted rock the
responsibility for the tragedy will be
placed on the captain. Another thing
the department wishes to learn is the
speed at which the boat was travelling.
a a measure of blame would attach to
the captain If il were found that he was
taking the steamer through the narrow,
rocky inland Alaskan passes at a high
rate Of speed
The reports of the department show
that the State of California had an
unnamed hero of the wireless on board
who went down with the boat as he
vainly sent out calls for assistance
