SEVEN MORE MAY DROWN IN WRECK MARSHFIELD, Ore., Dec. 17.—Captain Jensen of the coast guard cutter Oregon believes those lost in the wrecking of the steam C. A. Smith would have been alive today had they ayalled themselves of the offer of the Oregon to take them ashore. "What hurts me," said Captain Jensen, "is that I should have had every man off the boat. We could have saved all if they had not delayed. Some of the crew wanted to go back and get their baggage and others wanted to get their money. They lost time until it was too late. We were caught between the steamer and the heavy sea when the tide turned and had a hard time getting back to land. The following were saved: T. Blomberg, captain; M. A. Sundell, first mate; C. E. Klund, second mate; O. Nikolason, seaman; H. H. Jerline, seaman; E. H. Roberts, seaman; H. Fleming, third engineer, is reported both missing and saved; A. Grenfell, officer, is not shown in either list. These lost are: H. Badchl, third mate; A. Leland, wireless operator; R. Raahn, seaman; C. Sampson, seaman; T. Chalmers chief engineer; E. Efford, first engineer; N. Drange, second engineer; H. Anderson, officer. SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 17.—A dispatch to the marine department of the chamber of commerce today declared the heavy seas at Coos Bay, Ore., were modernizing and prospects were bright for saving members of the crew still on board the wrecked lumber schooner C. A. Smith. COOS BAY, Ore., Dec. 17.—The wreck of the lumber schooner C. A. Smith, which already has claimed ten lives, bids fair to take a toll of seven more, as repeated efforts early today had proved unsuccessful in rescuing Capt. T. Stromburg and seven women lead a hunting and trading expedition into darkest Africa is the present occupation of the Hon. Mrs. Diana Strickland — rightly named Diana, the goddess of the chase. Her party of eight expects to be gone many months and hopes to bring back many rare specimens of animal life. schooner is in imminent danger of breaking in two. She carries a million and a half feet of lumber. Her deck load loosened by the terrific seas adds a new menace to those on board. SEVEN MORE SAVED CLAIM OFFICER "LOST HIS HEAD" Jack Dunlap, of Fullerton, arrested Saturday by members of the sheriff's force on the charge of wreckless driving, was arraigned before Judge French, fined $25 and sentenced to 15 days in jail. The fine and sentence was the aftermath of an affair Saturday afternoon on So. Spadra-rd in which Deputy Sheriff McClellan and other members of the sheriff's force are said by eye witnesses to have "lost their heads" and wontonly beat up a man who was later released by Judge French after the officers had been unable to make any charge against him. The incident occurred, it is said, when Dunlap cut in ahead of the officers' car causing them to swerve to the left in the path of other traffic on So. Spadra-rd just south of Commonwealth ave. One of the officers, it is said, then leaped onto the running board of the Dunlap car and forced it to the curb in front of the R. G. Adams service station. He was then joined by Desutty Sheriff McClellan who is said to have "gone after the prisoner brandishing a gun and a black-jack." The officers were in plain clothes, and an aged friend of Dunlap's not knowing them to be officers, drove up along the Dunlap car, and hollowed to Dunlap. "I'm with you, Jack." Whereupon McClellan is said to have vigorously attacked him with his black-jack and to have beaten him unmercifully before Jake Dieset of the Fullerton police force arrived on the scene and handeuffed the supposed offender. Adams interfered and was given an unmerciful tongue-lashing by McClelland, it is said. A large crowd had gathered, and it is said notous feeling ran high. The man who had been "beaten up" was taken before Judge French who went into a private conference with McClelland, and then dismissed the prisoner. RECEIVED BY POPE COOS BAY, Ore., Dec. 17.—The wreck of the lumber schooner C. A. Smith, which already has claimed ten lives, bids fair to take a toll of seven more, as repeated efforts early today had proved unsuccessful in rescuing Capt. T. Stromburg and seven members of his crew, including A. Lymond, a crippled wireless operator still on board. The heavily laden schooner struck the submerged north jetty at the harbor as she was departing Sunday morning. The coast guard, despite heavy seas, managed to reach the wreck with a lifeboat and took off seven men. Captain Stromburg declined to leave his ship, and other members of the crew refused to go until provision was rigged for saving the crippled wireless operator. High seas prevented further rescue vessels reaching the wreck, and when a lifeboat with nine men aboard put out, it was quickly dashed to pieces before helpless eyes. First mate C. N. Prescott of the tug Wilson, was swept overboard and drowned in one of the many efforts to get a line aboard the schooner. According to observers, the schooner is in imminent danger of breaking in two. She carries a million and a half feet of lumber. Her deck load loosened by the terrific seas adds a new menace to those on board. SEVEN MORE SAVED FROM SHIP WRECK MARSHFIELD, Ore., Dec. 17.—Chance won for the seven men left on board the steamer C. A. Smith, ashore at the jetty here. The chance was taken by the men at daylight today, when they lowered a lifeboat and safely made their way to the tug Oregon, which was standing by. With these men in safety, the survivors number 14. Nine others remain unaccounted for, and probably were drowned. These with C. N. Prescott, mate of the Oregon, drowned in a rescue attempt, make the death list ten. The sea was much smoother this morning. A certain play now running in New York is described as a "hair-raiser." We suppose there is a demand for seats in the bald-headed row—Mail, of Woodland. RECEIVED BY POPE ROME, Dec. 17.—M. Doucet, new French ambassador to the Vatican, was received in audience today by Pope Plus XI. Advices from Rome Saturday said the families of German officials deported from the Ruhr had appealed to the pope to intercede with France to have Christmas amnesty granted deportees so they could return and spend the holidays with their families.

FIRE CAUSES PANIC LOS ANGELES, Dec. 17.—Persons attending sessions of three civil courts, being held in the Broadway Christian church, were thrown into a near panic today, when flames were discovered in the rear of the building. Once outside, the persons who had fled from the church organized a bucket brigade and tried to extinguish the flames, but this proved unsuccessful and the fire department was called to do the work. An overhead furnace is believed to have caused the fire. $20,000,000 FOR ARIZONA ROADS PHOENIX, Dec. 17. — That Governor George W. P. Hunt and the State Highway Department mean business in the $20,000,000 State highway development program was evidenced in the release to the press of the draft of the highwya bill, for the consideration of which the legislature will be called into special session early next year. It is announced. The proposed measure contains a proposed amendment to the state constitution permitting a $20,-000,000 bond issue, to be paid off from funds collected from the three-cent gasoline tax. Under the present system half of the gasoline tax is now turned over to the various counties of the state for county road purposes, and the other half is credited to the account of the state highway department for state road purposes. Under the proposed measure all of the tax would be placed in the state road bond redemption fund. HEAVY FINES FOR CATCHING BIRDS SACRAMENTO, Dec. 17.—Four Italians, convicted of capturing songbirds in the silken nets which in Italy have been responsible for much destruction of bird life, have been fined $450 by Judge Ellis G. Johnson at Daly City, following arrest by Deputy Game Warden J. Burke of the state fish and game commission. FRENCH FEMINISTS CRAVE WAR RIGHTS PARIS, Dec. 17.—"When Johnnie comes marching home again"—these may be the words for the next war's battle hymn. At the "Club du Faubourg," a popular parliament for advanced women's ideas, Dr. Madeline Pelletier, an ardent feminist, has just claimed the right-of-women to become soldiers. "We are as courageous as the men," she declared. "and we have proved our strength and endurance in sportive tests. Besides, there were many women soldiers during the revolution and under the empire, together with more recent ones in Moscow." When the fair doctress was accused of having warlike sentiments, she repiled: "If I am asking that we pay the price of our blood, it is no because I wish to shed it, but because I believe it is a means of obtaining the vote." "No red trousers," cried out a little French coquette; "the fashion is almond green." MY BIGGEST THRILL By George Larkin, Star of "Saved by Radio" I have been in the movies for goosh, I don't know how many years. Since it first started and long before Rodolph Valentino and Wallace Reid ever dreamed of going into this game. I've acted in serials where my life wasn't worth a nickel sometimes; jumping off railroad engines, racing in auto, fighting with ruffians, and I was even in cages with lions and tigers. But believe me, all of the stunts I ever did were tame compared with what I had to go through in "Saved by Radio." A fellow by the name of Berrien had the nerve to make me jump off his hydrogeroplane while it was going at the speed of 75 miles per hour, into a motor boat below. Maybe, you think that wasn't a thrill. Well, just ask another movie hero to try it once, even if he is a daredevil—I'm not saying a word.

Johnson at Daly City, following arrest by Deputy Game Warden J. Burke of the state fish and game commission. In addition, five nets and the illegally taken birds were confiscated. E. L. Baggitini, who owned the nets, paid $200 fine; G. Fisselo and H. Caprin paid $100; and G. Santi, a recent arrival, was fined $50, with a warning that a second offence would be heavily punished. All the birds were identified at the California Museum of Vertebrate Zoology as song and insectivorous birds, protected by the federal migratory bird treaty act. The list comprised wrens, warblers, bush-tits and white-crowned and song sparrows.

Officials said the report that France was considering a funding plan upon a 2 per cent basis, arose from the erroneous interpretation of an article published by an American-French paper. CAPTURE HEAD OF AUTO THEFT GANG LOS ANGELES, Dec. 17.—One of the largest automobile theft rings in the south is believed to have been broken up by the arrest in San Bernardino today of C. E.

Mexico is getting a little too gay when one of her communities had the temerity to protest against election frauds. However, 12 of the kickers were killed, and that should stop such rashness.
