crew beyond the fact that four other
boats had been launched when the
steamer sank.
The lffeboat was almost within the
line of breakers when 1t was seen by
John Nelson, foreman for the Union
Oil company, who at once organized a
rescue party which succeeded In get
ting the boat safely ashore.
At first it was believed that all hands
were dead, but under the treatment OF
the rescuers three showed signs of life,
and later one of them revived suffi-
GENTLY to say where they were from.
This man, who from papers found in
his pocket is believed to be Manuel
Lopez, said that the steamer was over
loaded and sank during heavy gale.
He said that five boats were launched
and that he did not know what had
become of the others. There were
eight men in each of the boats.
The three survivors have been taken
to hospital here.

WIN Make a Better President.

New York Tribune.l
The Tribune will Loyalty support
Charles E. Hughes.
From the morning of the Lusitania
70 the present hour this newspaper
has fought for certain principles
which it believed to be vital in Amer
lean life.
For many weeks it has advocated
the nomination of the American who
eEampioned these principles most
fesrlessly and uncompromisingly.
The man has been defeated, the
principles are not included in the Re-
publican platform and they will not
be found in the statement issued by
Mr.. Hughes after nomination.
In so far, then, as these principles
are concerned, Mr.. Hughes and Mr..
Wilson stand on the same ground, as
yet.
But the Tribune purposes to sup
port Mr.. Hughes because it believes
that in all other respects Mr.. Hughes
is The stronger man and will make a
better president.
