TODAY'S CLEARINGS.
LAUNCH ARGO RAMS
18TH STREET BRIDGE

Running at full speed down the
city waterway at o o'clock this
morning, after whistling for the
18th street railroad drawbridge
to open the 8O-hOrsepOwer launch
ArgO, running between Tacoma
and RedOndo, crashed into the
bridge structure when its en-
gines refused to reverse. The
pilot house, cabin, and entire up
per deck house of the big launch
were torn from their supports and
reduced to a mass of twisted
wreckage.
Capt. Israel Elliot, owner of
the boat, escaped serious injury
miraculously. When the launch
struck the bridge, his pilot house
was lifted from the deck, push
ed back ten feet on the deck, and
laid flat. The steering wheel was
torn from Capt. Elliot's hands,
and the captain was buried in an
almost inextricable mass of
wreckage. He crawled out after
several minutes, and grasping a
tiller rope In either hand, steer
ed his wrecked craft in to the
F. 7. Grove company dock.
Elliot was crushed internally.
The Tacoma times. [volume] (Tacoma, Wash.) 1903-1949, 1914-01-19

but did not realize his injuries
Half an hour later, while talking
TO a Times reporter at the Mu-
nicipal dock. the Argos captain
tainted dead away. He was car
ried into the Municipal dock Of
flee, where DR.. l.. Campbell at
tended him.
The Argo had just arrived
from Redondo and unloaded SO
passengers at the Municipal dock
She was proceeding up the chan.
rel to load freight when the ac-
cident happened. The only men
on board were Captain Elliot,
Engineer Dayton Ward and Deck
hand Lewis Miller.
Capt. Elliot had whistled for
the 18th street bridge, and the
draw was beginning to open when
Engineer Ward attempted to re-
verse his engines. The clutch
slipped, and the powerful boat
crashed full speed into the draw
bridge.
The hull of the steamer is not
injured but the upper deck Is en-
tirely demolished with loss OF
about $1,000. Capt. Elliot is at
present building another steamer
for the Redondo run.

to Tacoma by Warden Halligan.
Each was bought $12 worth of
new clothing, each was handed
4 IS gold piece and arrangements
were made by Uncle Sam to buy
them tickets back to Los Angeles.
Then the warden turned to
each, shook hands and said, Il
wish you luck" and the govern
ment was through with its task,
started by President Roosevelt
and continued by President Taft
to break up the Mexican Junta in
this country and stop the socialist
agitation that was bringing on the
Mexican revolution that finally
eliminated in the overthrow of
the Diaz regime and the baptism
of the country in blood.
It was the Mexican Junta led
by Ricardo Flores Magon, a form
er Franch cavalryman, a scholar
and patriot, that first called at
tention to Diaz. His paper, "Re-
generatiOn," Numbered against
Diaz and for the common people.
The socialist press of this coun-
try took IL up. American maga-
zines followed. The exposure of
the Diaz regime exploded the
fires of revolution and Mexico has
been writhing since.
1--WE have nothing to do with
the Carranza movement. They
are simply office-seekers," said
Flores Magon to the Times today.
1--WE are opposed to the Huerta
government, we were opposed to
the Madero government. They are
al simply office-seekers, not
friends of the common people,"
Magon and his companions
were railroaded to prison by the
government on the charge of vio-
lating the neutrality laws. They
were kept incommunicado before
the trial. They have no COM
plant to make Of treatment in the
prison here excepting the general
one against the commingling of
diseased and healthy prisoners.
They were met at the govern
ment building here by many To-
cal sympathizers, headed by Sam
Hammersmarck. Mrs. Vose. a
short-haired woman of Home Col
ony, almost embraced them indi-
vidually.
Mrs. Alice Yarnell and her hus-
band of Gig Harbor we're prom

Regeneration" came up from
Los Angeles especially to meet
them and escort them back. They
will be given tickets by the gov
eminent Wednesday and will
leave for the South. at 1870.
