Gambler Bay, Alaska.

preliminary report on the sinking OF
the steamship State Of California at
Gambler bay. Alaska, August II, today
was received by Assistant Secretary Sweet
Of the Department of Commerce from the
bureau Of navigation. whose experts are
still continuing their investigation. The
report shows that the vessel went down
three minutes after it sruck the rock.
and that the accident occurred at $50
in the morning, when the passengers,
all of whom had remained up late to
see the scenery. were sleeping.
1t Is also declared that the great num-
Der of those who met death in the dis
aster were killed and not drowned.
The vessel went down so swiftly, ac-
corling to the report, that the suction
of the water tore of the entire upper
portion of the ship, killing the passen-
gers in their sleeping quarters.
Just what the vessel hit has not yet
been determined. Capt. T. H. Gam OF

Bristow Wants Equal Priv
Aeges Given to Mexi-
can Factions.

The Mexican situation bobbed up IN
the Senate again today. when Senator
Bristow declared that he believed this
government should grant the right TO
Gen. Jesus CarranZa, the constitution
alist leader, to purchase arms and am
munitions OF war in the United States.
Senator Bristow declared that Victoriano
Huerta had been allowed to import arms
until last week, and he said that the
two factions in Mexico should be granted
the same privileges and permitted to
fight out their differences.
Senator Bristow said he brought up
the Mexican question at this time be-
cause he had seen widely published the
statement that Congress was solidly be-
hind President Wilson's Mexican policy
To parts of that policy, he said, he took
execution: to other articles of 1t he
agreed.
Senator Bristow said that this nation
refused to recognize Huerta because 1t
did not approve his ascent to power,
but he argued that by granting him
the right to import arms and NUM-
tons of war he had been i recognized zeo
ocnize the belligerents who are fight
ing him." he said.
Il believe the factions should be al
lowed to fight out their domestic troubles.
but every sense of fairness dictates tnat
Carranza should be given the right to
purchase arms and munitions OF war.
Senator Bristow said he disagreed with
the policy Of the President In warning
Americans to leave Mexico. Such
warning. he maintained, was taken as an
Indication that Intervention was contem-
plated.
He said he was opposed to Intervention
at this time and he refrained from intro
ducing a resolution providing for equal
opportunity for the importation OF arms
only because he did not wish to stir up
the discussion again.
Senator Sheppard pointed out that
Huerta can no longer import arms. and
Chairman Bacon of the foreign relations
committee said that Congress and the

Would Preserve Church.

Soon after my parents DEATH" said
Mr.. Willard, Il installed two of the most
beautiful windows in the church and a
mural tablet to their memories. 1t is a
source not only Of disappointment and
regret, but Of the keenest sorrow. that
the present beautiful church edifce
which could not have been built except
for the substantial aid given by my
father. and which was built under his
personal supervision and according to his
plans, could not remain as a perpetual
memorial to him. This church should be
preserved, the same as the Old South
Church and Kings Chapel are in Bos-
ton, not only In memory of my father,
but because here was preached probably
the last sermon Of the late Rev. Edward
Everett Hale. and to him. also. the build
ing should be held in sacred memory.
This movement for a new church should
not involve the demolition OF this beau

minority who desire this present church
to stand although the majority have de-
cided that a new church shall be built

Can Swear EntertainingIy.

A prominent attorney of this city,
who is a consistent member of one
of the leading protestant churches,
stated this morning that as rule he
did not like to hear any man indulge
in the foolish habit of swearing. The
gentleman said that whenever he lis
tened to. the average man indulge
in the profanity of the day it grated
upon his nerves and set his finer SEN
sibilities upon a wire edge. But he
said that there is one man in Ard
more who seems to have the matter
of swearing down to such a fine and
systematic point that he, the attor-
ney, rather enjoys listening to him.
The attorney averred that this par
ticular man, whose business we Will
not mention for fear that his name
might be guessed in connection there
with, can rip the average corpora
ton up the back with flow of ac-
companying profanity that is abso-
lutely refreshing to all his hearers.
Il have listened to this gentleman
express his opinion of certain of ou:'
Yublic service corporations, the at
torney said by way of conclusion,
and / will venture to say that his
line of good healthy oDjuration has
never been eXcelled by soldier, sailor,
marine or private citizen. Why, he
can swear for solid hour, offhand,
and never repeat himself more than
once or twice, when he gets started
against some pet aversion of his.
Yes, | am a church member, but !
confess | rather like to hear this
man express himself"
