TACOMA, Wash. November 10
The days of treasure seekers after
pirate caches may be gone for the
storied South Seas, but they are Just
beginning for the residents along the
ocean beaches of this State More
than one vessel, laden with liquor
from British Columbia and bound for
ports in Washington, Oregon and
California, has piled up on one of
the beaches as the result of gales
or poor navigation, or both
Such a vessel soon IS pounded to
pieces by the surf. and the liquor on
board buried in the sea or scattered
among the driftwood along the shore
TO await the discovery of treasure
seekers.
The last rum runner to suffer such
a fate was the halibut boat Alta,
loaded with 212 cases Of whisky and
gin. 1t is believed that the Alta was
headed for Willapa Harbor, north of
the Columbia River. A storm buff
feted the craft and evidently opened
up her seams. To save themselves
the crew headed for the beach at high
tide. They escaped, leaving the Alta
at the mercy of waves and sand. Re-
tore customs officers arrived much OF
the liquor had been removed, and the
rest OF the cargo could not be sal
Vaged because the waves had dug a
grave for the vessel But the sea
gradually will work the wreck into
the beach and put the liquor within
reach of Industrious and thirsty

TRY Z FOR Staying

Mexico Begins Prosecution of
Case That Brought Break
With Britain.
BY HARRY NICHOLS.

BY Cable to The Star and Chicago Daily News.
MEXICO CITY. November 10.-To-
day in the City Of Puebla the trial be-
gins of Francisco Ruiz and Alejo
Garcia, held for the murder of Mrs
Rosalie Evans, an American born
woman, but a British subject by mar
riage. The crime was committed Au-
gust 2 while she was taking a pay
roll to her ranch. This is the case
which caused strained relations be-
tween Mexico and Great Britain
eliminating in the expulsion from
Mexico of Cunard Cummins, formerly
'in charge OF the archives Of the
British legation"
The British point of view was
that the crime was plotted by the
agrarians, while the Mexican govern
ment insisted that it was an ordinary
assault, the motive of which was
robbery alone. The trial will be ad-
ditionally interesting in view of the
fact that Capt. Hollocombe, whom the
British consul describes as a trusted
employe of the British legation" has
been watching the case during the
preliminary hearings and lately has
Heen accused by the attorney general
OF the State of Puebla Of having at
.empted to bribe the prisoners to
confess that their act was instigated
by the agrarians because Mrs. Evans
had declined to divide her ranch.
