SEWARD, Alaska, Feb. 6. -
When it dawned today 1870 of
495 passengers and crcWmen still
were aboard the forward half of
the wrecked liner Yukon, but,
half an hour before noon, they
also had been rescued.
The Yukon, r mounta 'nOus
seas and winds that attained hur-
ricane force, was broken in two
on rocks in Johnstone's Bay, IA
miles east of this city.
The blizzard was one of the
most savage that had swept out
of the Arctic in many years. Cold
blasts that cut to the marrow,
accompanied occasionally by
wildly flying snow, reduced the
last of the survivors almost tu
exhaustion.
They were huddled in the bow
of the ship and were lashed by
wind and sea also. 1t was said
that some of the pillows mounted
to so feet and, when they struck
the rock on which the prov OF
the ship was stranded, water
poured on the men mad women
and children who were aWaitiue
rescue parties.

County Board Airs
Gambling In City

Discussion of gambling in. con-
nection with the arrests by city
police had its repercussions last
night at meeting of county
commission, although no action
was taken regarding the matter.
The discussion was informal.
and one commissioner said he
thought the bingo games and all
other forms of gambling should
be stopped in Key West, and an
other declared that, if there is
gambling in Key West, why are
not arrests made by county auth
critics.
The question was brought for
ward because of the report that
the city is obtaining money from
reputed gamblers by filming them
in city court.

Judge Lord Will Ask Fore
man To Call Body Into
Session: Grave Charge
Lord Declares

The Rev. E. S. Doherty, pastor
of the Ley Memorial Church,
will be given an opportunity to
prove his assertion, made Tues
day night at a meeting of the
city commission about the pay
ment of $4,000 in graft, before a
grand jury, County Judge Ray
mond r. Lord said today.
That was a grave charge"
Judge Lord continued, land Mr.
Doherty will be summoned be-
fore the grand jury and asked to
Substantiate what he said. l am
going to ask Hilary Crusoe, fore
man of the grand jury, to call it
in session and issue a summons
on Mr.. DOnerty.
II consider what he said is a
reelection on the city commits
sion, D. L. Rosenhousc and l..
Wiener, proprietors of the Gulf
Stream Restaurant, and on me,
as attorney for the proprietors.
The charge is SO fraught with
corruption, ! assume that Mr..
Doherty will be gratified to have
the opportunity to prove what
he said, and he will be given
that opportunity before the grand
jury, which has the power to in
dict. those men, whoever they
may be, who, he declared, gave
and received the graft, If he
proves his charge. Surely he
must know he can prove what
he said, for it is hard for me to
conceive of a mans making such
a statement at a public meeting
without being confident that he
could prove his accusation.
Mr.. Lord then stated that Mr..
Doherty, while he was making
his accusation, asserted, I'VE
know of $4,000 that was put up;
we. know who Rosie Rosenhouse
is"
Mr.. Lord explained that Mr.
Rosenhouse is an attorney who
has been practising law in
Miami for more than 20 years,
and who is one of the owners of
tho Gu1f Stream Restaurant.
Mr.. Lord further said that Mr..
Crusoe, who is foreman of the
grand jury, is an employe in the
navy yard, and that he will be
seen shortly after he concludes
work this afternoon and asked
to ca1f~the grand-jury into session

Applications for homestead

SCISSOR Claude A. Gandolfo's office
are running neck and neck with
the number that was granted last

III Today, when the number

total was a little more than l.
900. This year it is, expected to
reach 2,100.
Mr.. Gandolfo pointed out that,
although last year he made APP
peal after appeal to owners OF
1omesteads to call at his office to
obtain exemptions, SO of them
failed to do so, as result of
which they were obliged to pay
full taxation.
"Thc same thing is likely to
happ, $ year." Mr.. Gandolfo
said. cause owners know
they have till April to file APP
plication. they continue putting
off calling at my office until
they wake up to the fact that the
deadline has been passed. The
best thing for them to do to
avoid having to pay full taxation
is to call at my office now and
