J. $. SUBMARINE GOES ASHORE ON
 PACIFIC COAST
Members of Crew Rescued After Being Imprisoned
 for Day in Diver.

Eureka, Cal, Dec. 14.-Twenty-sev- en members of the crew of the United States submarine H-3, imprisoned since dawn today in the submersible, which went ashore on shoal near the entrance to Humboldt bay, were res cued tonight. Five of the crew were brought ashore in brooches buoy at 5 o'clock, and within an hour the re- maining 19 members of the crew and the two officers were rescued.
 The coast guard shot line across the bow of the H-3 as darkness set in, and by watchers on shore the sub marine was seen to become more steady in the beating of the surf as the line was made fast. Then a brooches buoy was rigged.
 In dense fog the H-3 struck sand spit early today while cruising down the coast from Puget sound. She was accompanied by the United States steamship Cheyenne and the subma- rines HI and H-2. Officers of the Cheyenne said they believed the acci- dent was caused by disabled engines.
 Commander w. B. Howe of the Cheyenne, who directing the rescue work from shore, said the men had been able to keep alive by crowding beneath the coming tower for air, and thus escaping the chlorine gas fumes from the batteries.
 All day long the men of the H-S, bottled in the diver, were rattled about like nuts in barrel. One lonely fig ure stuck to the bridge as if he were lashed to the divers superstructure and until the beating of the gray breakers began keeling the submarine forward and backward, the coming tower pounding the sandy bottom of the surf. Then he disappeared: the matches were battered down and the crew and officers were prisoners.
 Lieutenant Bograth was in com mand of the H-3 and Lieutenant Emke second in command.

Pine Bluff yesterday had a sample

Pine Bluff yesterday had sample of mighty near everything the weather man hands out, except sun shine, and it may reasonably expect a sample of sunshine today.
 There was snow, sleet, rain, com parative warmth and worse than freezing all in the range of few hours. Only for a little while in the h early forenoon, was the weather ap- parently above the freezing point, this being during light fall of rain. Then it turned real cold, and the greater part of the day the mercury remained at about the 26 mark. About 10 o'clock last night it began turning colder, and at o'clock this morning it recorded IS degrees, with the tend ency apparently to go even lower. It was a beautifully clear night, how ever. with the stars shining brightly, and a sharp wind was blowing.
 The weather bureau says the cold wave is a Northern Pacific" distur- bance, which evidently started a long way from home. An Associated Press telegram to The Graphic last night from Washington, said:
 "A Northern Pacific disturbance that moved southeastward by way of New Mexico, was central over South western Alabama tonight, the weather bureau says, and during the last "A hours has caused general snow over Tennessee, Arkansas, Missouri, Okla hon1a, Kansas and Gulf states.
 "Very low temperatures are fore cast generally for the Rocky Noun tains, and snow or rain may be ex- pected owe rthe district east of the Mississippi A cold wave warning has been issued for East Texas, Southern Louisiana, Alabama, Southwestern Georgia and Northern Florida"
