Al PERSONS ON
WRECKED LINER
HAVE NOT BEEN
ACCOUNTED FOR
Oil Soaked Wreckage at
BIunt'S Reef Is Believed
to Conceal the Mystery of
About Thirty.
RECORDS OF PURSER
LOST WITH VESSEL
Capt Harry Hobey, Who
Lost His Life, and His Of
ticerS and Crew, Are
Praised By Survivors.
tBy The Associated Press.)

San Francisco, Calf, Aug. s.
Oil soaked wreckage coating the
treacheries of Blunt's Reef, 1870
miles north of here, conceals the
mystery Of some thirty persons
missing in the sinking Of the
coastwise steamer Alaska Saturday
night, from which seventeen bod
les have been recovered. Out OF
the PA persons believed to have
been aboard, 167 have been saved.
The records Of the purser went
down with the ship, and the exact
loss of life may never be known,
for checking thus far shows that
several passengers have been res
cued whose names did not appear
from the company's list of pas
sengers and crew prepared at
Portland, Ore, the city of depar-
ture.
The check thus far indicates
that forty-seven may have per-
ished.
Patrols Search for Bodies.
At Eureka, Calf, forty miles
north of the wreck, are seventeen
bodies, fifteen Of which have been
identified as six passengers, in.
eluding one woman, and nine of
the crew. Meanwhile along the
rocky coast patrols continued for
the second day search for bodies.
In hospitals at Eureka are many
injured survivors.
A score or more survivors
reached San Francisco today on
the first train from Eureka since
their rescue. Outstanding in their
recital of tragedies of the fog en-
veloped sinking and explosion of
the steamer, was the tribute OF
heroism of Capt. Harry Hobey, who
went down with his ship, of his
officers and crew and the officers
and crew of the rescue steamer
AnyoX.
Explanation of the Wreck.
But one explanation of the
wreck was made, when Second
Officer E. D. Dupree of the Alas
ka declared that an uncharted
current dragged the fog
hound ship several miles inshore
into the reef.
I'VE thought we were three
miles outside the reef, when really
we were inside Dupree said. "An
northeast current had
carried us inshore. We observed
this current later when out life
raft drifted northerly from the
wreck"

UP GRADE, SAYS
n. |NANC|ER
Industrial Recovery Has
Started; Eastern Banks
Are Competing Again With
Surplus Funds, Claim.
tBy The Associated Press J

Washington, Aug. S.-Industrial
recovery has started now that
eastern banks are competing again
with surplus funds, BENJAMIN
Strong, governor of the New York
federal reserve bank, said today,
before congressional commission
investigating credit control. He
blamed the past initiation on the
war and said it was necessary to
finance the world conflict but de-
MED there had been any discrimi-
nation against agricultural inter-
eSts at any time.
Expansion in order to stimulate
production was necessary il the
war could not be financed out OF
the peoples savings, he said.
Now he continued:
These movements go in cycles,
and we have now entered the cycle
of recovery"
1--WE find industries first checked,
first resumed" he said "Re-dis-
count rates in New York have
been reduced, but not in western
districts like Kansas City and Min
neapolis."
"Why?" Chairman Anderson
asked.
Il believe that the expansion
which took place in the western
and southern districts is still a
marked factor in the banking po-
sitlon," Governor Strong replied.
THAT competition to lend which
has developed so early in New
York is not so apparent there yet"

SAYS MEMBERS OF CREW
BECAME DEMORAITZED

Eureka, Calf, Aug. S.-First
admission by an officer that the
steamer Alaska was proceeding
under full speed despite the heavy
| fog when she crashed on Blunt's
Reef Saturday night, was made to-
day by S. A. Carlson, third assist
ant engineer. Carlson said he was
on duty when the ship struck.
The eighteenth body, that of a
man yet unidentified, from the
sunken vessel, was found today un-
der the lighthouse at Cape Mendo-
cino.
Late today an inquest over the
body of Charles Heane. chief stew
ard, was held. The jury found
Heane came to his death through
drowning as a result of the wreck
of the steamer Alaska" The find
ings of the jury, 1t was said. would
apply to all the dead.
George Goodall, a passenger Of
Spokane, in his testimony before
the coroner's jury. was particularly
severe in criticism Of the Alaska's
crew. Goodall said members of
the crew made effort to get the
passengers off the ship, but they
became demoralized when it came
to handle the lifeboats. He de-
clared the iifepoats were not in
proper condition.
Other testimony was given by

TURKS PLANNING

| Boston, Aug. S.-Charging that
"the Turks evidently have a delib-
crate plan of exterminating the en-
tire Greek population on the
shores of the Black sea-" the Pan
Epirotic Union of America with
headquarters here has just made

''The inhumafl acts, assassina-
tions, thefts, violations, arbitrary
confiscations Of property, all sorts

dition of the Greek population.
The male Greek population from
liz to so years of age of all the
cities of the Pontus, Ineboli, Sam
SCUM, Kerassund, Ordou, Tripoli,
as far as Trebizond has been de-
ported to the interior.
The largest part of this popu-
lation has been massacred on the
way by the Turks and those who
could survive have arrived by way
of Sivas as far as Albostan in
Kurdistan. The fate of the Chris

ANTI-BEER BILL

Prospects Are That the
Measure Will Be Finally
Enacted Before the End
of the Present Week,
TREASURY OFFICIALS
HOLD UP REGULATIONS
Rules Relative to PreScrip-
tons, Promulgated BY
Palmer Are Voided By the
New Legislation,
tBy The Associated Press. }

Washington, Aug. S--The Willis
Campbell anti-beer bill was passed
by the senate late today, SO to 20,
and sent to conference with the
house with the prospect of it's final
enactment before the week ends.
| Upon being informed of the
faction, treasury officials said that
the beer regulations which have
been drafted and are ready for
Secretary Melons signature, would
mot be issued pending action by the
senate and house conferees. The
regulations would provide for use
Of medical beer under the ruling OF
former Attorney General Palmer,
a ruling which the bill Is designed
Ito overcome.
The Ian against the prescribing
of beer by physicians, and limita-
tions Of prescriptions of wine and
whisky contained in the bill as
passed by the house were virtually
unchanged by the senate, but a few
important amendments were added.
These included a provision to re-
|strict operations of prohibition en-
|fcrcement officers by prohibiting
searches, or any attempts at search
ing of private property or premises
without search warrants. A viola
tion Of this clause would be a mis-
|demeanor, subject to fine of $1,000
and cne years Imprisonment. PEN
altles Of five years imprisonment
and $1,000 fines were provided for
persons attempting searches while
posing as prohibition agents.
The search and seizure amend-
ment was offered by Senator Stans
ley, derlocrat, Kentucky, as sub-
stitute for an amendment by Sena-
tor Reed, democrat, Missouri, pro-
posing more drastic penalties. It
was adopted with roll call.
