 Speaking of the order that pre- vailed among the passengers, Pur- ser Wilcox today said fine com posture was evident among the pas sengers, men, women and children alike, and was manifested under the circumstances when the situa- tion appeared as dangerous in the extreme" With but one exception perfect order was shown, the ex- ception was the case of one man whose nerves became unstrung and before he left his stateroom tried to commit suicide. He slashed his throat, but later in Seattle the in- jury was said to be not serious.

 Purser M. w. Wilcox, of the Ala meda, was in that capacity aboard the Aleutian and today told in de- tail of the accident. He said that the ship was sh ere d from her course by powerful tide rips just as she was passing the Maude Island Light, that marks the most treach- erous place in the Narrows, at 11:30 o'clock Saturday night.
 Capt. J. G. Nord, on the bridge at the time, used all the power of the ships twin screws in vain effort to counteract the effect of the tide, but the shore was close and the vessel struck, and was held on the rock ledge. The Aleutian struck about midway back on the starboard side.

MANY MEMBERS ABSENT;PLANS
 ARE DELAYED
Almost 50 Per Cent of Leg islators Missing - Or
 ganization Plans Late

With the arrival of the steamer Alameda from the south today, it became apparent that almost S6 per cent of the members of the Legislature will not reach Juneau before Sunday. Fourteen of the lawmakers are in the city awaiting the gavel of Secretary Karl Theile to call the body to order next Mon day morning.
 Of the IA who arrived, five are members of the Senate and nine of the House. Three Senators and seven House members are still to arrive. Most of them will come on the steamer Queen, but at least three are not expected to be pres ent until later next week.
 Plans in Obeyance
 In the absence of such large proportion of it's membership, there has been little definite planning for the organization of either the Senate or House. It has been manifestly impossible for members to hold a general caucus and none is expected before Sunday, if then. The positions of Chief Clerk of the House and Secretary of the Senate are pending with several possible candidates in the field. No definite information was available as to candidates for President of the Senate or Speaker of the House. All of these matters were being dis cussed, it is true, but it seemed ap- parent today that the entire or ganization plans were still in a formative stage.
 Only three members of the Legis- lature arrived on the Alameda. These were Senators w. A. Steel, First and J. H. Anderson and Rep resentative A. N Nynel of the Sec ond Division. The latter Division is the only one to have a ma- 1orlty or US delegatlOn present.
 List vi Arrivals
 The personnel of members pre- sent included: First Division-Sen- ator w. A. Steel, Representatives Grover c. Vim and Allen Shat tuck. Senator Charles Benjamin and Representative P. c. Mccormick will be on the Queen Sunday, and Representative A. H. ziegler prob- ably will arrive next Tuesday on the steamer Alaska. Senators Sund- quist and Anderson and Represen- tatives c. J. Woofter, Henry Burgr and A. N. Nylen of the Second, are here, and Representative Alfred J Lomen will be here Sunday. From

that there was no immediate dan- ger, waited for the tide to take his vessel of. A current freed the ship after thirty minutes and snc f1oated clear. Capt. Nord's officers praise the skill he showed after the ship struck. With the large vessel on the rocks so close to shore that her stern overhang actually was above the Maude Island Light, the Captain after she cleared, handled 'he engines in such a manner that without the use of her steering gear, turned about ir the treach- crous water in the narrow channel and started the return trip to Seattle.
 Ship Takes List
 After the accident the ship had severe list to starboard. As far as could be determined she had taken no water. Her modern con- struction with double bottom was undoubtedly responsible for tn e comparatively small damage done. Under her own power the vessel steamed toward Seattle and when near Waldron Island the passen- gers were transferred to the Ala meda that had been hastily out fitted and sent to meet her.
 Soon after reaching her home port the Aleutian went in dry dock, her cargo being first changed to the holds of the Alameda. It was found that no cargo was damaged.
 The Alaska Line went to great length to insure the comfort of the passengers over the time that they were awaiting the sailing of the Alameda. After their arrival on the Alameda they were each hand ed, by the companys' agent, a $10 bill for hotel expenses for the night ind in other respects were given every consideration.
 At the time the call for a ship came to the line officials in Seattle from the Aleutian, the Alameda was being renovated, her state rooms were bare and the commits sary department was not supplied for 8 trip. These large details were, taken care of with dispatch, and
