CITY OF SEATTLE GOES AGROUND,
 SAYS WIRELESS

The wireless operator of the steam. ship Alaska, which arrived here to- day, reports that he picked up mes. sages yesterday indicating that the steamship City of Seattle, south bound, was aground either in Seymour narrows or off Point Barrows. Inter ference by Japanese boats with the wireless signals made it impossible for him to hear at which of the two places the disaster took place, or the extent of the damage done to the vessel
 The Alaska wireless man also re- ported that the tug Salvor, with the steamship Admiral Evans in, tow, was off Cape Decision at noon on the 23d. The Evans sank in Hawk inlet some months ago, and was raised with the aid of a great cofferdam which was built around her.

GOV. WHITMAN PROTESTS
AGAINST DRY REFERENDUM
Tells Assembly Proposed Bill Is
Like Tweed Plan on Fifteenth
Amendment.

ALBANY, n. Y. March IA message
Machold bill designed to provide for
an advisory referendum by which the
electorate of the state might express
their sentiments regarding the ratifica-
ton of the prohibition amendment to
the federal Constitution has been sent
to the assembly by Gov. Whitman.
The Machold bill appears on one as
sembly calendar today as a special
order on second and third reading, and
can be passed il majority of the votes
are still behind it.
IAN evasion and a deception is the
way the governor described the bill.
He reminded the assembly that a SINH
lar idea originated with the so-called
Tweed minority in the Senate in 1889.
in an attempt to defeat the fifteenth
amendment to the United States Con-
stitution.
In. the message the governor held
that the proposed referendum would in
reality be no referendum at all, be-
cause it would have no binding effect
Not a single member of the legisia-
ture,' he said, would be legally bound
to abide by the result of the proposed
so-called referendum Hence such a
vote would not relieve any member of
the Legislature of his ultimate and un-
escapable responsibility either to ratify
or reject"
Gov Whitman declared that he would
not be opposed to allowing the people
of the state to settle the liquor QueS-
ton by direct vote if it were possible
under the federal Constitution, but this
measure, he maintained. conferred no
power whatever upon the people.
