BY the Associated Press.

Seattle. Wash, Feb. 16.-With the
crews safe of three vessels that yester-
day met disaster in that dread region
of navigatOrs in the Pacific ocean west
of Washington and south of Vancou'
yer island, wireless operators along
the coast this morning were reach.
ing into the air for word Of the
steamship Tuscan Prince.
No authentic news of the Tuscan
Prince had come since she sent a
faint message yesterday morning, her
wireless apparently failing before she
could give her position.
The steamer Nika. which burned
TO the waters edge after she lost her
rudder near Umatilla reef, is a drift
ing hulk off Cape Flattery. Her crew
is coming TO Seattle.
A Total Loss.
The steamship Santa Rita. which
went upon the rocks near Carmanah
light, on the west side of Vancouver
island, is a total loss. Her crew,
with a few tents, is camped on the
coast in that vicinity. The tug Sea
Monarch was expected TO take them
up today.
The motor ship Coolcha, with two
of her officers aboard, was clinging
to the rocks at Albert Head near
Victoria.
Anxiety last night was concerned
almost wholly with the fate of the
Tuscan Prince. This 420-foot British
passenger and freight liner, with heI
captain and crew of 42, was the sub
ject of contradictory, rumors. o.,
'- A report that she had been found
and her crew saved was discovered
TO be based on hearsay.
Ship Seen Afire.
In the night report that a YES
sci had been seen afire led TO the
belief that the Tuscan Prince, like
the Nika, might have fallen prey to
flames.
But today the Canadian salvage
ship Algerine, which had hurried to
the point, reported that a thorough
serach had showed no sign of a
burning ship.
The coast guard cutter Algonquin
was bound today for the vicinity
south of Cape Flattery. The Algon
Quin was expected to reach the scene
this forenoon.
The coast guard cutter Snohomish
after taking the crew of the Nika
TO Port Angeles and setting out
10 destroy the derelict from which
she had rescued these men. was also
searching for the Tuscan Prince.

1T is gratifying to learn that the
alumni of Georgetown University arc
proposing to found professorship of
constitutional law in memory of the
late Chief Justice White" wrote Mr..
Davis. mo act could be more fit
ting. Such a foundation would be
something more than a deserved
tribute by the university to her dis
tinguished son. It would be an in
spiration to coming generations, in
ducing them to initiate those quail
ties of mind and heart which made
Chief Justice White one of the very
greatest of those who have served
America in the field of jurispru-
dence."
Announcement Of the movement

ored graduate OF the law school.

Of the class of 1865 at Georgetown
College. leaving at the outbreak of
the civil war to enter the Confederate
army with other Southern boys at
the institution.
ACTIVE AT SCHOOL.
During his years in Washington
as a Senator and member of the
Supreme Court, Mr.. White always
took an active interest in his alma
mater, and especially the law school,
which was founded some years after
his graduation.
Shortly before his death. Chief
Justice White presented his portrait
to the Law School, with the follow.
ing inscription intended for all
Georgetown students. my sincerest
wish is that all who come within
these classrooms may learn and
maintain individual liberty and law
united as the source of blessings to
themselves and all their kind"
Hanging next to the portrait is
another, presented by Reading, lord
chief justice Of Great Britain, who
took a keen interest in the law
school while he was ambassador at
