'BORAX' SMITH MAY
STILL Be WEALTHY
Syndicate Takes Hold of
Affairs of California
Multimillionaire.

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. l7.-F. M
Borax') Smith, one Of the amazing
number Of multimillionairos produced
through the material riches of the far
west, had his troubled financial affairs
capitalized at s200,o00,o00, taken out
of his weary hands today by men who
will try to untangle them. A syndicate
of British and American capitalists,
represented by George G. Moore of De-
troit and G, Fitzgerald of London,
agreed to take over the United Proper
ties company, which really was Smith,
and see what they can do with it. Upon
their success depends Smith IS possible
rehabilitation. All the creditors feel
secure.
Overwhelmed by more money than he
could easily count, accruing to him from
rich borax deposits which he developed
and from which he got his nickname,
Smith started to promote big enter,
prises. He built magnificent traction
system among the cities across the bay
from San Francisco; he developed great
tracts Of land, financed light and pow
er companies. and Nevada mines.
He kept all the management of all
the concerns mostly in his head and
finally he did not know any more than
anyone else whether he was worth any
money at all or not.
Two factions undertook his rehabili-
tation, and todny's action is regarded
as triumph for one Of them.
Smith may yet be wealthy again, his
creditors say, They will invest about
SIS, 100000 to straighten things out.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 1.-THE decis-
ion Of the majority members Of the
house rules committee today against the
creation of a standing committee Of the
house on woman suffrage landed like 4

Trage leaders gathered here. Both the
congressional committee of the National
American Woman Suffrage association
and the congressional union for wom-
an suffrage have been pressing the mat

between the organizations was indicated
by the comments tonight.
The Congressional Union, at a meet

Mrs. Funk said that under the caucus

with the islanders is a great problem,
the professor says, but evidently they
must migrate.
Professor Omori thinks tho entire

Sea Water Boiling.

The sea in the gulf Of Kagoshima
seemed to be boiling and the quantity
of floating pumice stone was SO great
that it prevented navigation.
Blueiackets from the Japanese fleet
today discovered native craft con
tanning sixteen refugees from Sakura
who were in starving condition. They
reported that owing to the floating
masses Of pumice stone and the higl
seas they had been unable to steer
their boat and had spent three days
adrift at the mercy Of the elements
and without morsel of food. The
bluejackets were able to reach them
only by using a wedge shaped raft, with
which they pierced a field of pumice
stone resembling ice floes.
Lava today was flowing steadily
down the sides of tho volcano to the
sea, increasing the area Of the island
as the substance sohdified on reaching
the water.
