The stowaways, who were hidden in a port coalbunker of the ship, were found only after a long search, and are now being held for deportation.

With the cooperation of the crew the stowaways defied the ships officers. They were provided with arms, and were thus able to intiml- date anyone daring to interfere with them.

 tions Such membership however
 as suggested by the President, is to be conditional on several "reserva- tions," including one which declares that mo utilization on the part of the United States to the League of Nations is to be involved" The recommendation of the President is said to be made on the advice of Secretary Hughes, who stated that with the reservations as stipulated the Government could safely and Draticably enter the Court without "deviating from it's traditional pol

In his message asking for such authority President Harding pointed out that the United States had taken conspicuous part in the original conception of the Court, and added that tour deliberate public opinion was overwhelmingly in favor of our full participation and atten- dance to the obligations of it's main- tenance."

ACEDSENAT0R CALIFORNIA,
 ENDS CAREER
Maritime Expert in the National Senate
 Passes Away BENEFACT0R WEST COAST Alaska to California Is Benefited by
 Services

OAKLAND, Feb. 26.-Former Sen ator George c. Perkins, died at his home here today, aged eighty-tour wears. Born at Kennebunkport, Maine, at the age of thirteen, young Perkins left his home to become a sailor "before the mast" Thereafter, for number of years, he followed the life of the sea, and touching, finally, in 1855 at San Francisco, he caught the gold fever and turned prospector and miner. He was the first to intro duce steam Whalers in the Arctic ocean, and operated numerous ships on the Pacific from Alaska to Mexico,
 As country merchant in California, Perkins became interested in politics and was elected to the state senate m 1869 and to the governorship ten years later. In 1893 he was appointed Unit ed States Senator to fill the uneXpired term of the late Leland Stanford. Sub- seouently he Was reelected to three full terms.
 Mir. Perkins long experience in sea faring gave him recognition as an au- thority in the Senate on the many measures relating to maritime affairs and the naval establishment. He was constantly consulted on these subjects, and whenever a question arose on the floor of the Senate regarding some technical point in shipping, by mutual consent it was usually referred to the authoritative judgment of the Cali fornia senator, who was always sup on such subjects. This led to his rapid promotion to positions of influ- ence on the Senate committee on Naval Affairs, Commerce and Appro- priations. During the four years pre- ceding the Democratic control of the Senate MT. Perkins was Chairman of the Naval Affairs Committee and as such became a controlling influence in shaping naval legislation.
 The senator gave special attention to improving maritime equipment along the Pacific and Atlantic coasts, and his personal familiarity with the chief water routes led him to secure an exceptional number of lighthouses and warnings for sailors, studded from end to end of the coasts. The regular ity of MT. Perkins attendance in the Senate was almost remarkable, for the record of his 23 years of service shows that he missed but few roll calls.
