San Francisco, Jan 1.-THE lives
of 30 passengers and the crew on
board the steamer Yosemite from As
toria for San Francisco were placed
in dire peril on Sunday night when the
steamers steering geaa fgave way
during the height of the storm that
was raging.
The heavy cross beam or tiller to
which the rudder chains are attached,
broke off short, and the ship, without
any means of directing it, wallowed
broadsides on in the terrific sea that
was running at the time
Captain Christopher Marc and the
crew Immediately set to work to re-
pair the damage. 1t was a difficult
task, made worse by the rolling and
pitching of the steamer. Jest when it
seemed certain that the vessel would
be blown ashore on Northwest Seal
rocks, the jury tiller was completed
and the Yosemite was able to con-
tinue her voyage She arrived in
port last night and will continue her
trip TO San Pedro. "

ATLANTA AGAIN PAYS ITS
HOMAGE To FAKE
NOBILITY
SOCIETY OF PEACHTREE GOES
WILD OVER QUEEN OF THE
MOVIES" BUT FIND THEY ARE
ENTERTAINING THE WRONG ONE
BUT SHE WAS PRETTY, THEY
SAY.

Atlanta, July 3.-Atlanta society
folk, the social set who spell it with a
big S, are wondering JUS VINO was the
pretty girl they entertained so lavishly
on short acquaintance a week ago? She
was registered at the Terrace as Mrs
Robert ]. Piersall, but the story gained
circulation that she was really Mary
Fuller, the noted Queen of the Nov
les" the most beautiful girl in all film
dom.
Certainly she was pretty enough TO
be the queen of any thing, and she
danced like a sylph, chatted like a Par
isian and dressed like a Fifth avenue
belle.
Were just crazy to meet her." said
the girls. 1t wasn't so hard to do.
Then the men gained introductions,
and then there were invitations to
dances at the fashionable clubs. She
never came out and declared she was
Mary Fuller-nor did she deny it very
vigorously, though she did say she was
travelling incognito to get away from
cameras and ranorters
All the papers fell for Mary and
printed beautiful photos of her., The
national photographers convention
persuaded her to pose for whole af
! ternoon.
And then-along came the officers Of
the film company which pays Mary her
salary and say the real Mary was not
in Atlanta, that she was in New York
that week, and that Atlanta was stung
again.
Well, Atlanta wasn't "stung," no
matter who the beauty was, for she
was as pretty as Mary herself delight
fully we'll bred and asked no favorS.
Those who met her say they haze
nothing to regret.
The affair brings recollections of the
fake Kingdom Gould" who fooled Al
lanta society for week several years
ago, and the millionaire Carmichael,
who turned out to be a thief and who
is now spending several years in the
federal prison here.

BILL WOULD CUT DOWN
EXPENSES OF CANDIDATE

Atlanta, Ga, July 3.-Considerable
icomment has been caused in the SEN
ate by most unusual bill introduced
by Senator NJ. C. Barver, of the Forty
third district, to regulate campaig ,
expenses of candidates for the United
States senate, for governor ana for
state house Offices.
The bill, which applies to the ex-
penses incurred at primary elections
provides that no expenses of a candi-
date incurred by himself, or by Others
for him, shall exceed Is per cent. CT
one years salary of the office for
which he is running Money paid the
state for printing campaign literature
may, however, run his expenses over
this percentage.
For the purposes of this act, the
bill continues, the contributions, ex-
penses or liabilities of a descendant,
ascendant, brother, sister, uncle aunt
nephew, niece, wife, partner, EN-
ployer, employe or fellow official shall
be deemed to be that of the candidate
himself.
Any violation of the provisions Of
this act, the bill states, whether with
Or without the knowledge or comfy
ance of the candidate, shall void any
nomination which the candidate may
secure.
Any deliberate violation by the can.
didate himself, or others acting fo1
him is made punishable as a felony
with Imprisonment of from one to
four years as the penalty. No alterna-
tive of fine is provided for.
Because of its somewhat peculiar
provisions, the bill has caused much
talk in the senate.
