Good Ship That Inspired
Stevenson Gets Reprieve
Former South Sea Trader
Equator Is Saved From the
Bone Yard of Wrecks

SEATTLE, Wash, Oct. 22.--The old
South Sea trading schooner Equator,
famous as the vessel on which Robert
Louis Stevenson is said to have re-
ceived the inspiration for his story
Tho Wreckcrs," has been granted a
rcprieve from Davy Jones's honcyard
of outworn ships.
phe Equator, for many years Puget
Sound steam tug, was about to be dis
carded when it was decided to open
up her hull. The frames were found to
be Of Port Oxford cedar and rs good,
according to marine men here, as when
she slid down the ways at Benicia,
Calf, in 1888. AS a result the cssel
was recently rbcuilt, her steam engine
replaced with a Diesel-power engine,
and she will shortly resume her career
as a tug.
The story goes that Stevenson, max
ing q voyage in the Equator-then a
schooner-among the "islands of ro-
nance was sitting in the cabin one
night with q gathering Of traders, pearl
fishers and others and heard an old
Southa Sc yarn that gave him the idea
for THE Wreckers." Later he recorded
that fact in his diary.
Years later the Equator was
equipped with steam engines, and in
course Of time made her appearance
on Puget Sound.
Her owners say she is good for
many more years Of service.

More Liberal Drug
Rules for Doctors
In Effect To-day

New narcotic regulations for physi-
clans, regarded as the most liberal in
depreciation Of the Harrison law yet
made, are effective to-day, and New
York doctors are adjusting their prac-
tice to conform.
The rulings, which were made by the
Federal narcotic division at Washing
ton, give physicians full but not un-
limited, privilege to prescribe drugs
and place them on their honor to pre-
scribe only in cases regarded as acute,
incurable, addict, or aged and iniirm.
In districts far removed from sources
Of supply the physician is permitted
to prescribe a weeks supply Of any
narcotic drug on one prescription. In
cities he is directed to authorize only q
quantity sufficient for one or two days.
Physicians Will be responsible to the
the official in direct charge of the
checking of use of narcotics in treat
ing patients is Frank Oyler, of the
local narcotic Offices, at AZ West Twen-
ty-seventh Street. In New York also
physicians are responsible to the CITY
narcotic division, under the direction
of DR.. Carleton Simon, Special Deputy
Police Commissioners. 1t was said VeS-
terday by DR.. Simon that there is no
serious conflict in the regulations un
der the two laws. He looks for an i'm
provement in conditions under the new
system. -
One provision Of the changed >:Yegu-
lations upholds Dr.. Simon in his re-
peated assertions that real cure of
an addict was impossible under the
diminishing OF reductive ambulatory
treatment. 1t specifies that no treat
ment of an addict without close con-
tnement during the period of treat
mont will be tolerated.
The physician, too, is required to
state on each prescription he writes
the nature of the case for which he is
prescribing. For instance, if the pa
tient is aged and infirm the prescription
must bear the words "aged and infirm."
If the patient is an addict the word
addict" must be written on the pre-
scrlption. Other designations are
acute" and "incurable."
Medical periodicals in calling atten-
ton to the new regulations stress the
fact that strict observance thereof is a.
matter of professional honor

Minister, i'm Fear
Of Tarring by Mob,
FIees Into Woods
Returns Half Dead From 3
Days Wandering to Es-
cape Wrath of Flock After
Confession of a Woman
Special Dispatch to Tao Trsbuns

CANAAN, N. H., Oct. 30.--All Canaan
is talking Of the plight of G.. Fl. Bowen,
former minister Of the Mahida Pente-
costal Mission of the Alliance Of the
General Assembly Of God. He has
just returned to his home here after
wandering for three days and nights
through twenty miles of woods to es
cape the wrath of his flock. He was
half starved. His clothes were almost
torn from his body and he was more
dead than alive when he emerged from
the woods near the home of J. L.
Wright. manager of the Bethesda Home
for Girls, at West Rumney, some twcn-
ty miles from here. He was cared for
until he was able to make the trip back
to Canaan.
Bowen had been head Of the mission
about four years. Two weeks ago he
was dethroned after a confession by
one of the women members Of the mis-
sion.
Public confession of sins is part of
the faith taught at the mission. Thus
this woman member ct one of the pub
lie meetings told of compromising re-
.ations with the minister Bowen, it
is said, admitted the truth Of the story.
A special meeting was called and lead :
ers from New York headquarters were
summoned to conduct an investigation.
Details were not made public, but
Bowen's right to preach was taken
away from him and the ranks of the
mission took sides.
Then Bowen began to receive threat
ening letters signed "Me and Myself.' -
Friends say the letters preyed seriously
on Bowen's mind. They came to a eli
max one afternoon when he found a
letter pinned on the front door reading:
UNLESS you get out of town within
and feathered and ridden out of town on
rail The tar is ready and so are the
feathers and the rail. Get out, and get
out quick" He then fed
When neighbor asked him where
he was going he flashed back: 'They are
after me and will be here in a few min
utes." Then he disappeared into the
woods. His friends organized a search
ing party and for three days and nights,
working in shifts, beat Ne woods for
miles. =
AS result of Bowen's trying expert
ence il is believed that much Of the
feeling against him has died out and
that he will not now be molested.
| The mission is about eight years old
and has steadily grown from a small
beginning in blacksmith shop until to-
day it has church of its own. The
Bowen incident has been the first seri-
Gus setback it has encountered, and un-
til it occurred it had had excellent
standing.

SO known Dead
And Is Are Missing
In Canadian Flood
Britannia Beach Scene of
Dissolution and Ruin as
Rescucrs Hunt Wreckage
for Victims; Is Are Hurt

VANCOUVER, b. c., Oct. 80. Thirty
six persons are known to be cad,
thirteen and perhaps moro arc missing
and fifteen arc nursing serious injuries
as a result Of the disastrous flood which
plunged down steep mountainside Fri
day night and transformed the model
copper mining settlement of Britannia
Beach into scene OF desoiation and
ruin. The property oss is estimated
at several million dollars.
Fully half of the 1l0 neat, freshly
painted cottages were carried away on
the crest of the flood. Others were
smashed to pieces by the force of the
onrushng waters and most of the re-
mainder were still partially submerged
tonight.
Four children are dead and ten others
arc reported to be missing. Ten Of
the dead and all of the injured were
brought to Vancouver last evening on
the steamer Capiano. All the injured
arc expected to recover.
Victims Washed Into Sound
An energetic search for the missing
was made to-day, but tho work was
necessarily slow because of the diff
cultics in clearing away the wrcckage
in the sea of mud and water. II is con-
sidered doubtful if the bodies of some
of the missing will ever be recovered, as
they are believed to have been washed
into the muddy waters of Howe Sound.
Manager j. Donahuc, Of the Britain
MIA mines, tonight described the CT
forts made by those on duty at the
mines proper, three miles back from
the beach, to warn the residents of the
danger. When the railway fill, which
caused the accumulation of water in
the hills, gave way and released a roar
ing torrent into the creek, warning
of the disaster to come was sent over
the private telephone line of the mines.
This message was received by Miss
Ellen Patterson, telephone operator on
duty at the compressor plant in the
village She instantly rang everybody
connected by telephone, relaying the
miners message:
Warming Comes Too Late
"For Gods sake, get out Of your
houses. Flood coming down the
creek"
Before the warning could be cir
cuated about the town the waters
crashed down. the mountain side,
sweeping away transmission lines and
plunging the village into darkness.
The waters had fallen 1000 feet in
their three-mile journey down the
mountain and smashed straight
through the center of the settlement.
Brittania Greek now runs through the
village itself, which is under several
feet of water.

Bucknell Eleven Starts
Training for Midshipmen

LEW1sBURG, Pa, Oct. 3o.-The
Bucknell University football squad
came out of the Catholic University
game on Saturday in fine condition
Most Of the regulars were taken out
of the game early, and are in shape to
start strenuous preparation for the
Navy game imm mediately.
Coach Reynolds will drive them to
the limit, for the team has been so
broken up with injuries that he has
had to start anew on his combinstio
several times, and he is anxious to
have strong team on the field against
the Middies. Foster will probably hold
down the quarterback position for the
remainder of the season, after the
showing he made on Saturday.

Ship Question
will Be Vital
I'm Arms Parley
Shipping Board Prepares
for Discussion; Will Cite
Determinations Against
u. S.; Bowles to Assist
Admiral To Be Counselor
Delay in Enforcing Jones
Act Due to Desire Not to
Raise New Issues Now

Settlement of shipping problems in
,olving British and American policies
will be one of the important but OBJ
scure matters which will determine the
success or failure of the Conference on
the Limitation of Armament. Prepara-
s*ions are now being made by the Ship
ping Board and the State Department
TO present the case for the United
States and to defend any issue that
may be raised by Great Britain.
Among subjects sure to be brought up
are the Panama Canal tolls question,
the adoption of q preferential policy
on the part of this country, and dis
ordinations practiced against Ameri-
can vessels by England and other
maritime nations.
Observers, including officials of the
Shipping Board, believe that the Brit
ish consider a proper solution of mer-
chant marine problems OF greater
significance than the reduction of mill
tary and naval ornaments. 1t is said
England will agree to almost any pro-
gram on the limitation of navies if
this country will leave ocean shipping
open to free competition, in the belief
that with lower operating costs the
British feet has nothing to fear from
American shipping without government
aid.
Britain Expects to Rule Seas
The further statement has been
made by responsible shipping officials
that the decision on an alliance be-
tween Great Britain and Japan will de-
pend to a large extent upon the COM
petition which England feels that she
must meet in foreign commerce. 1t IS
pointed out that with all navies eliml-
mated Britain would still command the
seas through her dominance in mer-
chant ships, many of which can be
converted into auxiliary cruisers on
short notice.
It is expected that early in the ses-
sions of the conference the British
delegates will broach shipping issues,
and that this discussion will form the
background of the open parleys on
armaments.
That the Shipping Board is not un-
aware of these Developments is SHOWN
by the announcement several days ago
in Washington that Admiral Francis
F. Bowles had been appointed as as,
sistant to Chairman Lasker. .. W.,
Powell. president Of the Emergency
Fleet Corporation, is authority 1or ene
statement that the chief duty OF
Admiral Bowles will be to keep the
board informed on developments IN
