SCHOONER ABERDEEN
WRECKS; EIGHT DROWN
Went Ashore In Wreck
age of Life Boat Indicates
Loss Of Crew

San Francisco, Jan. 2S.-Caught in a
sea churned to furious heights by 90
mile gale, the steam schooner Aberdeen
dashed to splinters early today on the
Jagged rocks near Point Bonita be-
yond the heads, and eight men aboard
her are believed to have perished.
Timbers crushed to pulp, the broker
stump of a mainmast and pieces of the
bow and stern of the vessel crashed up
under the bluffs of the point in the
murky dawn. But there was no sign
of her lifeboats, except the broken
splinters.
Life saving patrols, who had braved
the windy night, felt certain the eight
men aboard could not have escaped ex-
cept by miracle. The one chance in
thOushand, they said was that life,
boats had put over and gone out to sea
before the waves crumpled the ship on
the rocks or that some other storm toss
ed ship had picked them up
The men believed dead are: Captain
Peter w. Knudson; R.. j. Moore, 2l2S
High street, Oakland city garbage in
spector; Edward johnson, fireman, 1856
Market street, Oakland; r. j. johnson,
address unknown; Louis De Cuttoni,
address unknown; Edward Smith ad-
dress unknown; T. Turney and Martin
Gas.
The Aberdeen, formerly in the Seattle
fishing trade, had recently been used as
the garbage vessel for the city of Oak
land. Twice week, she steamed out
to the open sea to dump her cargo of
refuse, Aboard her when she started
out of port yesterday afternoon in the
face Of storm warnings and threaten
ing barometer was Inspector Moore, in
addition to the regular crew.
AS the night wore on, the vessel had
reached spot where she was in the
very center of the storm maelstrom.
That she battled against the roaring
winds to make port is probable. But
she was too small to win against the
gale.
First word of the wreck came in a
message to Captain Nelson, commander
at the Golden Gate coast guard station.
His men said the first Of the kindling,

New York, Jan. 2S.-The movement
of prices on the stock exchange today
was more in keeping with the favor
able developments of the week than
it has hitherto been. Advances were
the rule in a number of stocks, and
tn improvement was large enough to
attract special attention. Crucible

that the buying was sufficient to turn
the general list upward; but simultan-
cously along with strength in special
ties, there was fair degree Of
strength in standard railroad issues.

the weakest railroad issue recently
gained nearly a point. This was the
case similarly with the Canadin Pa.

Of several candidates. The southern
members were especially startled, be-

On every hand were expressions of
surprise, for while Brandeis had been
mentioned and urged by numerous pa
pers, it was considered his chances
were slim by reason of nlving little
political backing.
Brandeis is of Jewish extraction,
born in Louisville, Kentucky. He was
educated in Louisville and Dresden,
and holds an honorary A. NJ. degree
from harvard He was counsel for
CLAWS in the Ballinger-PinehOt inves-
tigation; for the shippers in the ld-

1911; for the people in eases involving
the constitutionality of the Oregon and
Illinois 10 hour laws and the Ohio 9
hour law.
He opposed the New Haven railroads,
New England transportation combine
and served on the arbitration board of
the New York garment workers strike
in 1910.
He has written many articles about
the trusts and on labor problems.
The story is told of Brandeis that
some years ago, after he had establish
ed comfortable practice, he inquired
Of his wife whether she had nal the
necessities ana luxuries she desired anu
after she had replied that she had, he
determined to set the amount spent that
year as the standard for the future,
leaving the balance to be spent in up

A strong fight against confirmation
of Brandeis nomination is predicted.
Senator Wadswortn Of New York
termed the appointment astounding -
adding 81 wonder what the president
had in mind to name such man. "
HE is an able, fearless, progressive
man." said Senator Chamberlain, Of
Oregon, "and phenomenal attorney.
He would be great addition to the
