Assessor Wins
Another Point

County Assessor Cameron came
one step nearer victory in his
fight against the tax commission
to Withstand their effort to force
him to change his system of tax
exemption yesterday. when Lieut..
Gov. Hart filed a brief with the
supreme court.
1t is pointed out in Harris brief
that the tax commissioners few
years back attempted to force a
county assessor to do what they
are attempting to force Cameron
not to do.
Cameron is fighting to con-
tinue his present system of first
making the assessment and then
deducting the $500 exemption al

NEW YORK, Jan. 15.-Gener-
al Trevino telegraphed the Unit
ed Press today saying that death
before a firing squad will be the
fate of the bandits who partici-
pated In the CHASTITY massacre of
Americans.
He confirmed reports that the
Carranzistas have executed Rod
riguez and Almeda, bandit chief
tains. This was Trevino's tele-
gram:
81 have ordered a regiment I'M
der Gen. Villaneuva to pursue the
bandits and have simultaneously
ordered Gen. Cavazos and other
detachments to watch the MUIR
derers movements.
Bandits Scatter.
"The bandits, realizing the
constitutionalists are moving
against them on all sides, retired
to Carretas and later scattered
into small groups.
'If we locate them we will pur-
sue them without rest. With
combined movements over two
branches of the railway we will
succeed in keeping away all
bands. putin g them to flight or
pursuing them into the Searra
Madres, where they will find no
food.
THE punishment administered
to the culprits will be identical
with that melted out to Rodriguez
and Carlos Almeida when they
were made prisoners and shot,

at last succeeded in picking up the survivors
clinging to its sides.
Capt. Wayson and the two members of the
crew who were saved are suffering from expos
ure and it was with difficulty that they were able
to give account of the accident
The most pitiful scene of all at the municipal
dock when the survivors were landed was when
Mrs. Bower was lifted from the waiting ambu-
lance by her Suffering terribly from ex-
posure herself, she called again and again for

White Caps Roll.


Terrific white caps covered the
sound where the Victor went
down. High waves dashed over
the Point Defiance and Yacht
club pavilions. Yachtsen would
not put out in the weather, but
could only partol the beach look
ing for bodies washed ashore.
Several power boats circles the
spot when the steamer turned
turtue looking for bodies. Many
followed the current around the
Point where it is thought many of
the bodies might have been wash
ed by the terrific tow.
After more than a half hour of
strenuous effort one of the res
cuing launches fastened a line to
the sunken boat and dragged it
along the point towards Gig Har-
Dor. 1t is thought the cabling is
filled with dead bodies.
Cargo Shifted.
An unknown street car conduc-
tor saw the vessel topped over. 1t
was about a mile off the Point
Defiance pavilion. 1t is thought
that a portion of the cargo shift
ed and the heavy winds caused
the boat to TOPPED.
The steamer Ariel, a boat about
the same size as the Victor, and
operated by the opposition COM
pany, came along shortly after
the latter sank.
Observers said the Ariel had
difficulty passing the point wHere
the Victor went down. High
winds sweepin garound vashon
island at this point made naviga-
tion almost impossible.
