Sixteen other persons. Including; sev

Bo far only two bodies hare been re
covered, one being that of a German
boy and tha other that of W. C. Koen.
1111 Klrby street. In Portland.
Tha four were the only ones saved
from tha crew and the list of work
men on the Teasel, all others either
having been awept from the deck when
tha accident first occurred or baring
been washed Into the sea from the
boat during the hours the terrific sea
of Sunday morning dashed over her
steel hull, which barely protruded above
tha water.
Tm Aallora I-aahe to Dae.
One sailor plunged Into the sea last
night and wad lost almost Instantly.
Two othera were lashed to the deck
during the low tide and later died
from the cold and exposure. Their
bodies were cut down by the Garibaldi
llfesavtng crew tonight and are now
occupying a temporary morgue on the
eand spit. The bodies of the others
are thought to ba lost forever, the only
hope for tbetr recover)- being the pos
sibility of their washing ashore.
The Mlml. aa dusk fell tonight, lay
soft f.et out In the ocean with the
waves dashing madly over her, throw.
ing a spray which looks to be EO feet
In height. She has been consigned to
her watery grave forever, possibly
with a number of bodies In her hold.
The lifesavlng crew departed tonight
after making a trip to the ship and
aecuring the two bodies. They made
a complete an investigation of the
ahlp as poesthle under conditions, but
could sea no other bodies. They could
see that there was no possibility of
anyone else on board being alive and
that It waa Impossible to have entered
the hold of the boat to hunt for bodies.
The water Inside rose and dropped
with the waves at such a rate that
there waa danger of any of the crew,
who went In. being dashed to death.
No further attempt will be made to
Invade the ghast'y confines of the ves
eel unless plans are changed.
Westphal Hears Telia.
Opinion Is divided as to the possl
blllty of there being more bodies on
the ship. Captain Westphal says he
j( practically sura there are others In
the bold. He could give no names. He
says he heard someone yelling In the
eookroom after the accident and be'
lleves It was the ship's cook. Others
may be within the hold, pinioned nn
der the wreckage of tha upper deck.
It would bo Impossible to secure their
bodies.
The beach was combed for miles this
afternoon and tonight, but no bodies
mere found. The carcasses of some
pigs and a vast amount of wreckage
from the stlp have come to snore.
The sufferings of the men who were
beneatb the deck of the ahlp from
o'clock Sunday morning, when the ac
rldent occurred, until i o'clock yester
day morning, la almost beyond de
scription. That any one of tha four
held fast to the rigid bars and kept
their heads above the rising water In

WILSON TAKES UP
ALIEN BILL BREACH
Effort Made to Avert
Diplomatic Tangle. '
'RESIDENT HAS CONFERENCE
Views Sent to California Leg
islators, Is Belief.
TREATY PHRASES STUDIED
Nation's Executive Is Reported to
Favor Legislation Without Dis
crimination if Any at All Is :
Passed Courts Looked To.
.WASHINGTON. April 7. President
Wilson sought today to avert a diplo
matic tangle with Japan over the bill
pending In the California Legislature
through which Japanese would be pre
vented from owning property in that
state.
The Japanese government had riled
formal protest with the state Depart
ment against what it considered a pro
posed infringement of treaty obliga
tions. The President conferred first with
Secretary Lane, of the Interior De
partment, who halls from California
and later with Senator Works and Rep
resentative William Kent, of that state.
Race Problem la Spectre.
None would discuss the President's
attitude, but it is believed that he took
occasion informally to communicate his
views to the California legislators.
The President is reported as believing
that if anti-alien legislation is neces
sary it should be made to apply to all
aliens without discrimination. Such a
bill, while it might eliminate the cause
for Japanese protest, would leave for
the court, it is pointed out here, the
question of its constitutionality without
invoking any foreign government In the
case.
"We don't want any more race prob
lems in this country." Vas the only
comment Representative Kent would
make as he left the White House. 1
Officials Look to Courts..
Meanwhile, the State Department is
giving careful study to the probable
effect of the proposed legislation upon
the existing treaty between the United
States and Japan. The officials have
no doubt that If the California Legisla
ture enacts a state law in conflict with
the existing treaty, its action promptly
would be nullified by the United States'
courts.
Article one of the treaty provides that
citizens of each nation shall have liber
ty to enter, travel and reside in the
other and among other things "to own,
or lease and occupy houses, mamifao
torlss, warehouses and shops, to employ
agents of their choice, to lease land for
residential and commercial purposes,
etc."
Phase May Decide Issue,
The issue may turn upon the appli
cation to agricultural lands or farms
of the phase, "to lease lands for resi
dential and commercial purposes."
Another point that Is under consider,
ation is the eligibility of Japanese to
American citizenship for, if they are
eligible, then the proposed California
legislation admittedly would not meet
the demand of the Californian for the
exclusion of the Japanese from their
state. The Japanese contend that they
are not Mongolians, prohibited from
naturalization by United States law,
and only the lower courts In this coun
try have held otherwise.
WILSIX'S ' SANCTION EXPECTED
California Assemblyman Says Presi
dent Will Approve New Bill.
SACRAMENTO, Cal., April 7. "The
Assembly bill was drawn up along the
general lines approved by President
Wilson," said Assemblyman Sutherland,
administration leader In the lower
house and one of the committee which
drafted a substitute for the several
bills Introduced.
"We have no doubt that It will be
found constitutional and in accord with
th. traatiA. between the United States
and foreign countries, satisfactory alike
to citlsens of California and of those
countries and not subject to crltlcUSn
by Japan."
"Representative Kent was right in
his remark about the race problem,"
added Asaemblyman Bradford, also one
of the committee. "The Japanese race
problem in California Is in its Infancy
and stll can be checked, but it is more
serious than the negro problem in tha
South. The negro has to take what the
South is willing to give him, In the
way of 'grandfather and other laws,
but the Japanese, who are crowding
out white farmers In California, are
backed up by a warlike nation to which
a former National Administration has
seen fit to "kow tow.'
"This bill undoubtedly will be passed
almost unanimously. The Governoi
has not been heard to say that he will
not sign it and we hope that the Na
tional Government will back us UP."
