San Francisco, Calif.-Forty-three
survivors had been rescued Tuesday
night from the wrecked wooden steam
er Hanalei, which went ashore, in a
dense fog, on DuXbury reef, nine miles
north of the Golden Gate, and was
shivered to splinters by the pounding
surf.
Eighteen dead had been either
washed ashore at Bolinas, just east
of the dreaded reef, or brought to port
by the United States revenue cutter
McCulloch and the navy tug Iroquois.
How many are missing never will
be accurately known, for the best
available passenger list in the COM
panys possession gives 2S passengers
and 26 crew, total of 81 souls, where
as the known dead and saved number
61. These figures do not include two
life savers, washed ashore alive, and
three missing. Their boat was
swamped
The heroism of Sydney Ashton, chief
steward of the Hanalei, was given Off
cial recognition by Mayor Rolph, who
called at the emergency hospital and
offered his congratulations to the man.
Ashton was completely exhausted
when he was saved. When the Hama
lei began to break up, Ashton strapped
to his back the 15-months-old baby of
Mrs. Val. Franz, a passenger, and
swan to a piece of wreckage. He
also managed to get Mrs. Franz upon
the wreck, and then for four hours he
fought to prevent the mother and child
from being swept away by the waves.
Mrs. Franz managed to cling to the
wreckage until picked up by a life
boat, but just as safety was at hand,
huge comber swept the baby away.
Speaking from cot in the emerg-
ency hospital, ]. F. Mason, survivor,
said: Everybody on board, every
member of the crew, and every pas
senger, was hero. Not even the wom-
en- whimpered once. They stood in
group, one woman with a baby in her
arms, and took their fate stoically."
When the Hanalei began to break
up, Captain Carey ordered all the pas
sengers and the crew to climb on
pieces of wreckage. All of the women
and the two wireless operators, Love
joy and Svendon, climbed on top Of
the pilot house. AS the vessel broke
up the pilot house floated towards
shore, but a large timber crashed
against it, throwing all of those on it
into the water. This was the last
seen of Lovejoy and Svendon.
One of the last persons to be saved
was Captain Carey. He floated ashore
with a pile of wreckage and was found
unconscious under it.
That only four sailors on board the
Hanalei could both row and swim was
the statement of Elwood Schwerin, one
of the members of the crew who sur
vived.

Carranza to March on canltaI

Vera Cruz, MeX.-The occupation OF
Mexico City by the forces of General
Zapata and the apparent understand
ing that has been reached between
that southern leader and General Villa
appear to be pleasing rather than 9th.
erwise to General Carranzas support
ers here, who, it is supposed, reflect
Carranza's opinion. In general the
plan now will be to besiege Zapata
and villa, cutting every railroad and
starving them into surrender if pos
sible, but forcing their capitulation at
that point in any way necessary.

Washington.-Pres Wilson will
not adopt the suggestion of the Amer
lean Federation of Labor that steps
be taken to have a receiver appointed
for the Colorado coal mines involved
in the strike with the purpose of hav-
ing them operated by the federal gov
ernment.
The President told callers Tuesday
that he had been informed by Secre-
tary Wilson of the Department of La
Dor that the solicitor of that depart
ment has given an opinion that there
would be no legal warrant for the
operation of the mines by the govern
ment.
The President added that so far he
had received no suggestions from Gov
ernor Ammons that the federal troops
should be withdrawn.

LOOK FOR BLACK HAND GANG
Wyoming Sheriff Increases Force to
Guard August Carollo.

Kemmerer. - Three extra deputy
sheriffs have been employed by Sher
iff Edward Hansen to guard the home
and person of August ]. j. Carollo, a
wealthy citizen of Diamondville, a
neighboring coal camp, from Black
Handlers who threaten to kill him un-
less he pays a ransom of $1,000. Ca
rollo first was threatened in August,
and then reported the matter to the
sheriff's office. Secrecy was main
tanned in the hope that the blackmail-
ers might be captured, but they were
too shrewd to be caught, and as soon
as the guards then assigned to watch
Carollo and his property had been dis
charged, renewed their threats.
Threatening letters have been re-
ceived by Carollo at intervals since,
and now the sheriff has decided to
guard him indefinitely. The letters
threatening the Diamondville man are
not sent by mail, but are delivered at
his home or place of business through
some mysterious agency.

Slavs Say They Have Stopped
an ustro-German Advance
on the Polish Capital
With Big Losses.
WESTERN AREA QUIET
Cold and Fatigue, Flooded Trenches
and Mudbound Guns Hinder
the Operations in Northern
France and Belgium.
Summary Of EUents.)

The Russians have won an i'm
portant battle with the Germans
between the Vistula and Warta
rivers in Poland. Danger of the
capture of Warsaw, capital of the
vast territory, is once more dis
sipated by this victory. About
week ago the Russians had driven
the Austro-German army about
$50 miles southwest of Warsaw.
Then the Teutonic Allies turned
on their pursuers.
So sudden and fierce was the at
tack that the Russians retreated
They were followed by the Germans
who pushed the center of the long
Slav fighting line to a point within
fifty miles of Warsaw There an
other battle has been staged-this
one between the rivers.
Another Russian army is operating
along the border of East Prussia, and
third one is pursuing a vigorous
campaign in northern Austria. 1t
was said by military experts that the
purpose of the Austro- German attack
and pursuit of the Russian center was
to draw off the second and third
armies from East Prussia and Galicia.
What these lesser Slav forces are do
ing has not been revealed
Veil of Secrecy.
The veil of secrecy has been
drawn over the battles between
the Russians and the Austro-German
forces. The headquarters of both
armies now are confining themselves
to the briefest statements concerning
the hostilities, saying merely that
lighting is in progress.
News coming from unofficial sources
however, shows that the German ad-
vance has penetrated further into
Poland than had been disclosed previ-
ously and that Warsaw is threatened
for second time. General Won Hin
denburg's army has advanced as far
as the Lowicz-Skierniewice line, which
means that the Germans have covered
two-thirds of the ground to the Polish
capital, from which they are now only
forty miles distant. Farther south in
Poland, however the Teuton allies are
said to have been repulsed between
Radon and Kielce.
Continue GaIician Advance.
The battle in East Prussia seems to
have died down, but the Russians con-
tinue to advance in Galicia and still
are fighting on the Czenstochowa-
Cracow front.
The battle in Poland in the direc-
tion of Lowicz is the most critical one
and, while the Germans have the
greatest confidence in General Won
Hindenburg since his defeat of the
Russian general, Won Rennenkampf, in
East Prussia, here, and in Petrograd
military observers express the opinion
that Russif s overwhelming superior
ity in numbers of men again must tell,
as was the case when the Germans
made their first attack on Warsaw
Przemysl About to Fall.
A dispatch from Petrograd says
that 1t is announced there that the
siege of Przemysl appears to be rapid
ly approaching its end. The trenches
surrounding the fortifcations are in
the possession of the Russian troops
Many of the trenches are filled with
lime, confirming statements of pris-
oners that cholera is raging in the gar
rison of Przemysl

London, Nov. 27-The British bat
tleGhip Bulwark was blown up Thurs
day morning off Sheerness. Only IA
of a crew numbering $50 men were
saved. The explosion is believed to
have occurred in her forward maga-
zine. Whether it was caused by ac-
cident or design is a question to be
determined by the commission which
has been appointed to investigate.
The neighborhood was strewn with an
enormous amount of wreckage, while
pieces of ship were thrown six or
seven miles on to the Essex shore.
The Bulwark, which was one of the
older battleships, cost $5,000,0OO.0O
London.-The Russian general staff
still is Withholding the details of the
victory which all other dispatches
from Petrograd say the Russianc have
won over the German forces Which
penetrated Poland. The Germans, on
the other hand, claim they have in
flicted heavy losses on the Russians
tween Lodz and Lowicz. The Germans
who advanced from the north and
south, these military observers add,
doubtless intended to seize the rail
way between Skierniewice and Piotr-
kow and interrupt communication be-
tween the northern and southern Rus
sian armies, but that Grand Duke
Nicholas, with the enormous number
of men at his command, was able to
sandwich them and direct his attacks
from all points except due west.
The Grand Duke, Russia's great tao
tician and military genius, is given
credit for the terrific defeat admin
istered the Germans, and, by his sue
cess, stands in the forefront of the
wars guiding generals. 1t is said in
Petrograd that one, if not two, Ger
man corps, or $4,000 men, are almost
completely enveloped and that they
are making a desperate effort to
fight their way out to the north.
Semi-official advices received at
Petrograd show that the German de
feat at LODI, eliminating in the cap
ture of one German army corps, was
the result of a Russian maneuver by
which the Germans We're led into an
ineXtricable trap. The Russian left
wing resting on the river Warta and
the Russian wing on the Vistula
moved forward in unison. Simultane
ously the Russian center gave ground
and the Germans followed, apparently
relying upon a German column from
Wielun to repulse the Russian left
wing. The plan failed as a result of
the battle on Nov. 25 when the force
from Wielun was repulsed. Thereaf-
ter the Russian wings advanced and
closed the gap through which the
German center had passed.
The Russians are said to be CON
tinuing their advances through the
Carpathians in western Galicia and
against Cracow, and Prof. Bernard
Pares, the British governments rep
resentative with the Russian head
quarters staff, says the Muscovite
forces are forming half circle
around East Prussia to avoid the we'll
fortified and difficult Mazurian Lake
region.
Except for artillery fighting, the
battle in the west remains virtually at
standstill.

The extreme cold weather and the

A desultory artillery duel continues

Austrians Tell of Success.

Reports from Vienna tell of success
es in Gaiicia, including the occupation
by the Teutonic allies of Tarnow and
Wieliczka. According to these reports
seven thousand prisoners were taken.
Kieliczka is the most westerly point
reached by the Russians on their ad-
vance on Cracow.
Russians In GaIicia.
In Galicia, before Cracow and
in East Prussia, the Russians are
pushing their advantage, apparently
disregarding the fact that their cen
ter has been compelled to fall back
They also are showing much activity
in the Carpathians, their object being
to prevent the Austrians from retiring
into Hungary-in fact, it is stated that
they already have cut off eight hun
dred thousand Austrians, who will
now be compelled, if defeated, to re-
treat westward.
Big German Army in Poland.
The advance of the Germans from
Thorn into Poland is being made in
great force. The greatest German
strength is to be concentrated on this
line. Fighting of the most desperate
character has been in progress and
heavy losses have been suffered by
both sides.
Germans Shell Libau.
German cruisers and torpedo boat
destroyers bombarded the naval har-
bor here for more than four hours,
says Libau, Russia, correspondent.
Several factories were damaged and
a petroleum reservoir was shelled and
destroyed by fire. The railway sta
tion and some houses in the poorer
parts of the town also suffered. The
Germans sank several small cargo
steamers at the entrance to the har-
Dor. Five persons were killed by the
shells, including a woman and over
thirty persons were wounded"
The Colorado statesman., 1914-11-28
Both Sides Rest.

The Germans, it is evident, have
sent their best troops to the eastern
front and even in big guns the allies
appear to have the advantage over
them. There are no signs, however, of
an offensive on large scale on the
part of the allies, who doubtless are
as badly in need of rest as their oppo-
nents. In fact, it is stated that the
officers and men who have borne the
brunt of the fighting in the trenches
are being given a short leave
Freezing in Belgium.
Freezing weather has set in through
out the length of the battle zone in
France and Belgium, the temperature
varying between % and 2S degrees
above zero Fahrenheit. Snow is fall
ing especially in Northern France and
in the Vosges mountains and also at
Marseilles.
French Silence German Guns.
French forces have captured the
heights Of Ornes near Verdun and
silenced two German batteries, ac-
cording to official dispatches to the
French embassy.
Losing Guns in Mud.
Many heavy guns have been lost by
the Germans in the floods in Flan-
ders. The official French COM
munique in stating this declares that
the artillery fire from the coast to
the Lys has slackened somewhat.
Snow is again falling in Flanders and.
the bad weather prevented any in
fantry attacks being made by the
Germans. The Germans followed up
their advantage at Chauvancourt in
the region of st. Mihiel and have re-
occupied the village.

NASHVILLE, Tenn, Jam 31.-In
the supreme court today the noted
Maury county back tax suits were de-
cided in favor of the taxpayers and
against the state. The court handed
down an opinion in the case of ]. H.
Carpenter, executor, of w. ]. Howard,
deceased, VS.. w. Spence McFall, trus-
tee, in which 1t held that the stock
sought to be taxed in Tennessee was
not assessable in this state.
While this particular suit involved
only about $4,000 of back taxes, the
same question is raised in other suits
against the Tennessee Fertilizer Co..
Howard and Carpenter and Others
the entire amount involved being not
far short of $4,000. The decision
was a sweeping victory for the tax
payers and a stunning blow to the
former revenue agent and his attor.
neys who instituted the suits.
In the decision today the supreme
court pretermitted any opinion as to
the constiutionality of the back tax
laws, simply holding that the stock
sought to be assessed was not taxable
in this state. ]. H. Carpenter and
other tax payers were represented by
Z. H. and c. p. Hatcher and Holding
& Garner, while the revenue agent
was represented by 7. H. PEBBLES and

The case has been pending in the

Doc Brown-all gone. Energetic
and ambitious young men are needed
to take their places as breeders and

they left for the Tennessee COW.

his COWS, did more than any other

the richness and greatness of Ten

his law practice and age prevents &C.

'In concluding this communication
longer than I had intended
let me recapitulate:
Tennessee has the genial climate,
it has the soil, it has the markets and
it has the reputation of producing ia
nous dairy cattle-all these things
for the young breeder to reap the ad-
vantages of at the outset of his ca
reer Hence want to urge the young
man of the state, whose natural taste
and inclinations lead him afield to
step into the shoes of the older breed
ers and carry on their work to his
own success. He will not die a mil
lionaire or always be on beds of ease,
but he can daily look out on well cul-
tivated fields, bloated smokehouses
and corn cribs, and lie down at night
after day well spent with the assur-
ance that the land under him and the
roof that shelters him are his own.
And if he loves his work, if he loves
to hear the birds sing and to see the
grass grow and the flowers bloom, If
he loves his flocks, his herds and his
fields and attends to them diligent-
ly, he can lead a delightful life, re-
spected by his neighbors, useful to
his day and generation, and free from
