McFarland has let the cat out of the bag for the banks! The institutions had given out information they would remain closed today through deference to Admission Day yesterday. But Mr. McFarland is telling the real reason, in confidence, of course. The banks, he says, were afraid some one would slip in during the darkness occasioned by the eclipse while the bankerettes were all looking through their smoked glasses, and steal all the money.

Auditorium vs. Ev THROWN THRU "Chance of Century" for Study of Total Solar Phenomena Goes Glimmering SAN DIEGO, Sept. 10. — The chance of the century" for observing a total solar eclipse in the United States went glimmering at noon today when the coast of Southern California was shrouded with a double blanket of high fog and higher alto-cumulus clouds. The chagrin of the scientists over the disfavorable weather God knows no bounds. For three months the sky in this vicinity has been bright and clear until yesterday. Last night there were thunderstorms in the mountains, intended by more lightning than has been observed here in many years. Hydrographic statistics show that on an average September 10 is other than clear only once in every 20 years here. "Our great expense has gone for naught," said Professor S. A. Mitchell, who has travelled 40,000 miles for the government in "covering the last four total eclipses." "We went thru with our program in reduced scale, taking photographs through the clouds with long exposure and trying as best we could to measure refraction, heat changes, etc. However, we have little hope that a re-check of our work will prove of any value whatsoever." It was understood that one factory had insured its expedition last fog and clouds for $100,000 with Lloyds of London. The sum would not be sufficient to cover the expenditure of the Mt. Wilson observatory. It was said, and estimates place the expense account of several other expeditions here at figures far in excess of that amount. Of all the scientific expeditions here only one was undisturbed by the capricious weather. Captain Ault, in command of the world's only non-magnetic ship, the "Carnegie," went calmly about his work of recording the disturbance of the earth's magnetic flux and compass eccentricities during totality. Another ray of hope to the scientists was the aid of the army and navy air stations. Naval air and Rockwell Field began sending squadrons aloft at 10 o'clock this morning and kept the heavens full of machines until the eclipse ended at 2:20 p.m. Each airplane was manned by a pilot and a photographer. They ascended high above the clouds and banks, he says, were afraid some one would slip in during the darkness occasioned by the eclipse while the bankerettes were all looking through their smoked glasses, and steal all the money. Another proof of cautious conduct of these financial institutions. THROWN THRU WINDSHIELD AND CUT J. E. Cooney of Long Beach was cut about the neck last night about 10:30 when he ran heador into a car driven by C. P. Humphries at Ontario about five miles west of Anaheim. He went thru his windshield and smashed it, then fell back into his car. It is said that his injuries are not serious. Three bottles which smelled like liquor, it is said, were broken in Cooney's car. There was not enough of the liquor, if such it was, left for evidence. Mrs. L. J. Perry of San Francisco was injured in an accident at the intersection of South Los Angeles and Vermont streets when the car in which she was riding collided with a Ford Sedan owned by Peter Alland who lives near Anaheim Mrs. Perry says Alland failed to stop, or even slow up for the crossing. Four other accidents were reported to the local police over the week end, no one being seriously injured. Bert Kennedy, of Long Beach says that N. Zouon of Los Angeles cut in behind him at Los Angeles st. and Broadway, and caught the fender on his bumper. Both machines were damaged. Charles Benedict of Anaheim says he was going west, another car was coming east, and the driver of the other car was looking out to the other side of the road and struck his rear wheel. W. H. Brunwick of Anaheim says that he stopped Saturday for the wig-wag at the railroad, and was struck by a car driven by Mrs. N. E. Fielder of Los Angeles Mrs. Fielder didn't stop for the wig-wag he said. Another accident also was reported from Los Angeles and Center-sta. Saturday where a car owned by J. Mickaels of Long Beach and a car bankers he says were afraid some one would slip in during the darkness occasioned by the eclipse while the bankerettes were all looking through their smoked glasses, and steal all the money. Another proof of cautious conduct of these financial institutions. THUR Commoner W. S.

Another ray of hope to the scientists was the aid of the army and navy air stations. Naval air and Rockwell Field began sending squadrons aloft at 10 o'clock this morning and kept the heavens full of machines until the eclipse ended at 2:20 p.m. Each airplane was manned by a pilot and a photographer. They ascended high above the clouds and snapped the phenomena at regular intervals. Lieutenant John A. MacReady, famous transcontinental non-stop flier, at 10:45 o'clock took off from Rockwell Field with Captain George Stephens, the army's crack photographer, to take snapshots of the eclipse from a height of 20,000 feet. MacReady holds the world's altitude record. Altho the air service centered their activities above San Diego and a few miles out to sea in the center of the shadow, planes were sent to aerial stations mapped out at 80 mile intervals between San Bernardino and Cape San Quentin, Lower California. "Wireless dispatches from the boys aloft indicate that they got clear of the cloud lanes at altitudes varying from one to two miles," said Major Henry Arnele, commandant of Rockwell field. "Of course, the work of observing the eclipse from a scientific angle by means of the airplane is merely an experiment. It is a pioneer feat and has no precedent. We hope with the astronomers that the work today may lay the foundation for future extensive investigation by means of the airplanes." BUILDING PERMITS C. C. Lamb, residence and garage at 600 S.

FLY ABOVE CLOUDS TO VIEW ECLIPSE LOS ANGELES, Sept. 10.—Airplanes were used today by Los Angeles people and several nationally known scientists to study the eclipse of the sun from the air. This move was made when reports of a heavy fog and cloud banks caused apprehension among thousands of persons that the eclipse might not be seen from the ground. At the time of the nearest totality here a heavy cloud bank covered the sun and hid it completely. Several scientists left here by plane shortly after 9 o'clock this morning for San Diego, arriving there two hours later. Every available plane from every flying field near Los Angeles is said to have been pressed into service.

In an almost impenetrable blanket of fog, the destroyers Delphi, Young S. P. Lee, Nicholas, Fuller, Chaucey and Woodbury., in single file formation, piled up on the treacherous rocks off Pedernales Point, two miles from the Point Arguello Point, in Santa Barbara County. All seven destroyers are a contingent of the eleventh destroyer squadron. Ten bodies have been recovered, two of which have been identified as R. A. Conroy, fireman, first class, of the Delphi, and "Squad" Pierson, fireman first class, also of the Delphi. The names of other victims have not yet been made public by officials of the twelfth naval district here. The recovered bodies of the ten victims have been sent to San Diego. Thirteen seriously injured are in hospitals in Santa Barbara. A special train carrying over 500 survivors, officers and enlisted men, are enroute to San Diego by special train. The task of rescuing survivors from rocks and cliffs in the vicinity of the graveyard of ships WRECK LAND Eye-Witness Stories Rivaling Most Weird Fiction Are Unreeled By WILLIAM G. CAYCE (L. N. S. Staff Corerspondent) LOS ANGELES, Sept. 10.—Thrilling eye-witness stories that rival the most weird fiction were unreeled here today as the 517 salvaged souls of the sea, refugees of the crash of seven United States warships on the rocks near Point Arguello, Santa Barbara-co, passed thru Los Angeles on a special train enroute to San Diego, where the squadron was headed when the wreck occurred Saturday night. The men and officers, half clothed and crammed into the nine passenger coaches, many of them strown in the alley of the conches, craved but two things, something to eat and some sleep. Every man showed signs of hardships and many of them wore bandages. One of the most tragic stories told by the sailor survivors was that of "Squad" Pierson, fireman first class, of the U. S. S. Delphy who lost his sight in both eyes when cut by his glasses which were broken as he was washed overboard. Pierson was rescued, but upon being brought on deck, lost his mind and was again lost when the ship was broken in two. All members of the crew gave unstinted praise to Commnader W. L. Calhoun, in command of the U. S. S. Young, which tipped over within a minute and a half after she had crashed on the rocks. Commander Calhoun, the men said, ordered every man to remain calm and stay aboard, which they obeyed without the slightest dissension as an illustration of the spirit of the men while facing apparent death in a fog that was as dense as ever experienced on the Southern California coast. Members of the crew of the destroyer Young started whistling and singing their favorite songs. Many of the men were modest and refused to discuss their actions, but were anxious to relate the heroism of others. One of these thrilling stories was told of Boatswains Mate Peterson, his fare still be-gripped with grease and his clothes wet from having been in the water, modestly denied "doing anything," but was anxious to praise Commnader Calhoun whom he and the other men declared was the outstanding hero of capital and port city military mobilization rocks have been conceived to provide temporary homes and household reduced to ashes unprecedented earth-quake fire of ten scourge of pestilence of the havoc water systems and corpses are unconcerns here declared menace of cholera inevitable because of the only avail- water and damaged safety of Argentine Delcorrill and his helper, Maria Louisa, here today by the Minister Delcorriller, who was one regular society favor-ign colony, are be-ween crushd in the Argentine embassy the first quake struck Argentine ministerently identified withomatic body of the consul general at accompanied by Vice Survived in Yokohana establishment of head-Consul General Cun-Philippines, who is supervision of relief on Kobe to assist Earl American consul here.

The names of other victims have not yet been made public by officials of the twelfth naval district here. The recovered bodies of the ten victims have been sent to San Diego. Thirteen seriously injured are in hospitals in Santa Barbara. A special train carrying over 500 survivors, officers and enlisted men, are enroute to San Diego by special train. The task of rescuing survivors from rocks and cliffs in the vicinity of the graveyard of ships was completed last night after heroic work on the part of the rescuerers, many among them being officers and enlisted men of the ill-fated destroyers, who had made their way to shore by means of a raft. It was officially announced at 12th Naval District Headquarters today that several of the destroyers will be unable to be salvaged. The Delpy which was leading the squadron, is broken in two, it was announced. The Fuller has a list of 20 degrees to starboard and is in danger of being pounded to pieces, as is also the Nicholas and S. P. Lee. The Woodbury has a list of 40 degrees while the Young is aground on her beam ends and three quarters submerged. Scores of navy and other craft are standing by the wrecked destroyers in an effort to recover other possible victims. The salvage work is under the supervision of Admiral S. E. W. Kittelle, who arrived on the scene of the disaster aboard the tender Melville. The reverbration of the terrible impact against the rocks of the ill-fated destroyers, which was audible to the remainder of the squadron 11, saved them from a similar fate. The division was on route from San Francisco to San Diego when the accident occurred. The destroyers were said to have been travelling at a speed of 20 knots an hour. The chart of one of the wrecked vessels was produced showing that according to the reckoning of the navigation officers, all vessels were presumably about eight miles off the shore. However, unusual strong currents probably caused by the tidal disturbance on the Japanese coast, are believed by some to have taken the destroyers far from their course. Not a great distance from the (Continued on Page 2) What lack of foreight does this woman show in her dress? The answer will be found among today's want ads.
