SAN FRANCISCO. Aug. 13-The rail-
road strike situation cleared somewhat
In the West today with the moving of
passengers who had been mar ooned IN
desert points at Needles, Calf. and
Cahente and Las Vegas, Nevada, and an
announcement by the Western Pacific
Railroad Company here that there was
possibility of its renewing service in
California after an enforced suspension.
The starting of Sante Fe train from
Needles for Los Angeles at $40 a. m,
with approximately $40 passengers was
the first "break" in the situation brought
about by the sporadic strikes of members
of the Big Four brotherhoods in this
region.
The train was a special manned by a
'pick up" crew and was guarded by a
railroad motor car filed with guards
which preceded 1t and automobile Of
deputy sheriffs which fianked it as it
sped along.
Approximately 1l5 eastbound passengers
elected to remain in Needles in the hope
that train will be made up to proceed
to Seligman, Ariz., and eastern points.
Four passenger trains of the Los An
geles-Salt Lake division of the Union
Pacific arrived at Los Angeles today

the White Star Liner Adriatic showed
her Prov into the bay this afternoon
and docked her 925 passengers tonight.
Officers and the few Of the crew who
knew Of the explosion when it occurred
1000 miles at sea Friday, brought back
tale of unflinching heroism, performed
by a big, brawny Irishman, Jim Carrigan,
of Liverpool the senior second engineer,
who crawled from buIkhead into the
hold, dark with a thick, asphyxiating
gas to rescue zone of my men, and put
out the fire that menaced the giant liner
and it's human load.
Those who were on the ship told of
the rigid discipline Of the crew by Cap
tain H. F. David, known as the hardest
skipper" Of the North Atlantic lanes; of
the orderliness of the dozen women pas
sengers who came quietly on deck and
of the quick action of four Roman Cath

in pajamas and tried to administer the
last rites of the church to the victims.
Some Never Walked.
So quickly and quietly was the ex-
plosion checked, and the vessel returned

cabin berths on the starboard side. The

Several stories of what caused the ex-

grizzIed, taciturn sailor, in a formal
statement said that he did not know and
officials of the line explained an under
