San Francisco, Feb 7.-Four hours after the passenger liner Wilhelmina collided with the wooden motor ship Sierra at sea about 20 miles from San Francisco at 415 o'clock this morning,the crew of the Sierra had taken to lifeboats. while the Wilhel- nina was in no danger and was un- damaged except for q dented bow.
 Captain Was On Bridge.
 Captain Soule. master of the Will hemina, was on the bridge at the time of the collision. When he saw that the compact was inevitable he ordered full speed astern and this ac- ton probably saved the motor ship from being cut in two.
 The Wilhelmina has net tonnage of 6.725. The Sierra is a wooden lumber schooner with net tonnage of 1,034 owned by the F.. K. Wood Lumber Co. San Francisco is the home port of both vessels

IN THE SENATE. Little Red SchoOlhOuse.

Another bill of the state board of education which would affect reia- tions of the board with town school authorities ran upon hard sledding in the senate today. It was senate bill No. 31 relating to transportation of children of the elementary grades to schools which replace the small red schoolhouse" in sparsely settled dis tricts, at the expense of the state. Towns would be graded for school purposes according to their grand lists and where schools of the seventh and eighth grades have been discon- tinued and the pupils sent to school established by the state board the local school authorities shall certify in July the prospective number of pupils to be transported in the fol- lowing school year,
 Senator Bakewell for the commit tee explained the measure saying the principle in it was absolutely sound and the definition of the school ages practical.
 Would Take Away Powers.
 ThF bill the senator sail is in- tended to take irsnGrkhAshan of local school boards in country towns the policy of providing means of get ting children in districts which can not maintain their own schools prop ery and giving it to the state that such pupils may have ample oppor- tunity for an education.
 Senator Suiman opposed the bill as another instance of "usurpation of power" by the state board He did not believe the state board should l have the right to say how the pupils | should be transported.
 He thought local school authorities i were capable of determining how it's should be taken to school.
 Motion to Table Passes.
