SAVANNAH, Ga.. Feb. 6. W. G. Mc

fated ft earner Kentucky, yesterday told
the story of the wrecking of his vessel
and the rescue of the captain and crew
by the Mallory liner Alamo, sending
the story to the station of the wire
less company at Savannah. McGinnis
said:
"At midnight February 3 a leak was
reported and by 2 A. M. February 4
everybody was on deck, as the water
was slowly overcoming the pumps. At
2:30 A. M. the captain called me and
stated the condit ion of the ship, at
the same time telling me he did not
think there was any danger, though
the sea was rough, but to see if I
could cet anyone in case we needed
them. I had heard from Charleston
and we expected, to reach there with
out aid.
Call Sent to Alamo.
"I started calling and shortly after
ward Chief Engineer- Grand told me
the water was slowly creeping up on
the dynamo, which would not give
current much longer. I picked up the
Alamo, which .answered my S. O. S.
signal. The Alamo was about 90 miles
away.
"I pave my position as nearly as
Captain Moore kept watching for the
sun to get a time-sight to give tbem
our correct point..
Struggle Keeps Dynamo llunnlng.
"The electrician, Robert Lacey, came
up about 8:30 o'clock and said the
water was up to the wheels of the
dynamo, which would not hold its
power much longer. After some time
we decided the only way to do was
to put all hands at work to keep the
dynamo running regardless of any
thing else, as the ship was settling
fast. Mr. Lacey wrapped the whole
thing, dynamo and turbine engine, in
canvas, which rave her eight inches
before she would burn the armature
out. We kept in constant communi
cation with the Alamo and made about
two miles toward her.
"Everyone on board was in a serious
mood. We gave up hopes of reaching
Charleston and waited Xor the Alamo.

"About 11 A. M., just before the cap
tain en t lifx nnnn rtftaltion th
trician reported the water was up to
the last inch and that the dynamo
might stop any minute. Our principal
object was to keep the dynamo run
ning until we could get our noon posi

fight we managed to Keep .the dynamo
running right up to the moment we
sighted the Alamo. .
"At 1:30 P. M. all the boats were
lowered and by 3 P. M. the Alamo was
alongside."
Today the revenue cutter Yamacraw
reported that after cruising around
last night and today she was unable
to find any trace of the Kentucky and
that the vessel must have pone down.

SAFER FOOTBALL RULES
liiterx-ollcsiate Committee Blames
Tncklers for Injuries.
NEW YORK. Feb. 6. A radical re
vision of football is under advisement
by the Intercollegiate rules committee
in charge. Greater safety for the play
er and more variety for the spectator
are said to be essential if the game is
to be permitted by public opinion to
live.
The ruleg committee adjourned last
night until March 25, after appointing
a sub-committee to consider three
plans of reorganization. The sub
committee is composed of A. A. Stags',
Vntverslty of Chicago; Tr. W. I,. Dud
ley, Vanderbilt T'niversity. Nashville,
Tenn., and O. W. Savage. Oberlin. O.
AVhen the committee reconvenes it will
pass formally on recommendations de
rided upon In the meantime by the sub
committee. In the main, the committee feels that
injuries to players are largely due. not
o much to mass plays as to savage
tackles.
Accordingly, It is recommended that
there be no more diving tackles, that a
rigid physical examination of all can
didates be Insisted upon, with medical
aupervlsion of all players. Under one
of three plans suggested, halves would
be shortened from 35 to 30 minutes,
with 15 minutes intermission, and these
halves themselves split again into four
periods of 15 minutes' play with inter
mission of nve minutes.
The three plans upon which the sub--committee
will report provide In sub
stance for the following changes of
Alignment and play:
First plan 1. Seven men on the
.scrimmage line.
2. No pushing or pulling of the
jnan with the ball.
3. ' prohibition of diving tackles.
4. Ends going down the field not to
l body-checked.
ft PUer oin down the field un-
der a punt not to approach nearer than
five yards to catcher or punter until
he has touched the ball and then not
to tackle him or charge forward unless
he starts to run with the ball.
6. Eliminate on-side kick.
7. first man receiving the ball to be
allowed to carry It anywhere.
8. Forward pass allowed over any
part of the line to men on ends of the
line or behind the line when the ball
is put in jjlay. '
Second plan 1. Divide the halves as
already specified, play to be resumed
by the side in possession of the ball
when the preceding period closed.
2. Seven men on the line of offense
and three backs to be at least four
yards in the rear of the line.
3. Forward pass to be made and
caught only by players standing be
hind the line when the ball is put In
play.
4. In offensive plays between the
two 25-yard lines the team with the
ball must advance it 10 yards In con
secutive downs or forfeit possession. On
this article the committee states itself
open to further advice.
Third plan 1. Seven men on the
line of scrimmage with th'S backfield
of offense limited to four men. center
rush, always in the center and no in
terchange of players permitted.
2. Eliminate neutral zone and on
side kicks.
3. No runner with the ball to receive"
help until he has reached the line of
scrimmage. This would reduce the
weight of the attack.
4. Distance to be gained, seven yards
in four downs.
FUEL SHORTAGE FEARED
SPEAKER AT BANQCET TAKES
PESSIMISTIC VIEW.
Bad Collections Bane of 3ealers.
Portland Association Holds
First Banquet.
Members of the Portland Fuel Dealers'
Association, which was organized last
August, held their first banquet Saturday
night at the Edelweis Grill. Between 50
and 60 members attended and participated
in a discussion of trade conditions, pres
ent and prospective. The informal pro
gramme of toasts was much enlivened by
the ready wit of George Estes, who pre
elded as toastmafter.
Accepting the fuel man's own definition
of himself "the mildest mannered man
that ever trimmed a cord or wuttled a ton'
last night's gathering of these dealers
was a jovial one. The principal speaker
was W. N. Day, president of the Western
Fuel Association, of Spokane. Mr. Da$T
defended the fuel dealers from all respon
sibility for the present high oost of
living. He asserted that the dealers in
fuel at Spokane had not advanced the
cost of their product in the last two years
and he did not believe the local dealers
had taken advantage of the general ad
vance in the coK of other articles by
adding to the price at which they sup
plied wood and coal. He spoke of the
purposes of the association which, he
said, were to insure to the dealer only
a legitimate, fair and honest profit, guar
antee to the consumer an adequate supply
of satisfactory quality and at all times
to win for the dealers the respect and
confidence of the general public.
M. c. Banneld, of the Banfleld-Veysey
Fuel Company, of this city, responding
to the toast. "The Fuel Business," was
not optimistic. He recalled the short
age in the fuel supply that Portland
experienced in 1906-7 and reminded the
members of the local association that
only through effective organization
could that record be prevented from re
peating itself, probably next year. He
said that in 26 years' residence in this
city he had seen 125 fuel companies
forced to suspend business because of
their inability to collect.
Frank' P. Waring, president of the
Steel Bridge Fuel Company, explained
the objects of the association of fuel
dealers, which, he said, represented an
Invested capital of $500,000 and an an
nual business approximating $2,000.
000. Responding to the toast, "Railway
Traffic." F. T. Hunt, traffic manager of
the Portland Railway. Light & Power
Company, said that the relations be
tween the company he represented and
the fuel dealers necessarily were close
for the reason that 35 per cent of the
freight business handled by the rail
way company came from the woods.
He explained that the company was
endeavoring by increasing its equip
ment to keep pace with the demands of
the city for the increased movement of
cordwood and other fuel.
Others to respond to toasts were C.
C. Churchley, C. R- Aylesworth. K.
Anan, H. M- Kimball and A. H. Edlef
sen. The menu was appropriately printed
on wood veneered paper and the differ
ent courses were indicated by terms
familiar to the fuel dealer's vocabulary.
CONTRACT LET; SAVE ROAD
Piling to Check Unruly Invasions of
Lewis River.
VANCOUVER. Wash.. Feb. 6 (Spe
cial.) The County Commissioners met
this afternoon and awarded the con
tract to the Lewis River Boom & Log
ging Company for driving 1250 feet
of piling north of the North Fork of
Lewis River for the protection of the
county road In that vicinity. The cost
of the piling is to be $1.50 per lineal
foot, bank measure. The work will be
gin in 30 days.
The point where these improvements
are to be made is near the John Spring
er donation land Claim, now owned by
W. F. Brock. For 30 years the county
road at this point has meandered along
the river bank and about every two or
three years the Commissioners have
been called upon to buy ground from
the adjoining ranches for the purpose
of getting away from the encroach
ments of the river. By the expenditure
of $2000 at this time In permanent im
provements the Commissioners hope to
check the invasions of the unruly
stream.

fuses to Reveal Identity of His
Assailant Officers Summoned
at Once From Prineville.
MADRAS, Or., Feb. 6. (Special.) J.
B. Haney. a teamster In the employ of
Porter & Clarkson. In Porter Bros camp
No. 2, in Willow Creek Canyon, four miles
from Madras, -wa? shot and seriously in
jured at 7 P. M. Saturday by a woman
supposed to be his wife. The woman, who
came with the evident purpose of com
mitting murder, took poison after the
shooting and died at Madras at 8 o'clock.
The woman, who was exceptionally
well dressed, came to Madras Friday
night on the stage from Shaniko, and all
today she was busy Inquiring where she
might find Haney. Finally, on learning
that for the last month he had been em
ployed as a teamster at Porter Bros.
camp No. 2, in Willow Creek Canyon,
near here, she secured a buggy and drove
to the camp tonight.
Arriving at the camp, she celled Haney
to one side and engaged in a heated ar
gument with the man, but the bystand
ers were unable to hear the remarks,
other than to gather from the tones that
a serious argument was under way. Sud
denly the woman produced a 44-caliber
revolver and shot Haney In the right
side, the bullet striking a rib, glancing
and lodging in the man's back.
Haney grappled with her and managed
to tear the gun from her grasp, when the
men working in the camp rushed to hia
aid and, after a struggle, overpowered
the woman. Both were then placed in
the buggy and hurried to Madras. It Is
believed that when about a half mile
from Madras the woman took a quantity
of poison, although she was not detected
in so doing. When the party arrived at
Madras the woman was found to be un
conscious and died without regaining
consciousness.
Haney, who is out of danger and will
live, absolutely refuses to make any
statement. Haney has been working for
one month In his present condition. The
Sheriff and Coroner at Prineville have
been notified and will fcxrive at Madras
in the morning. .

Eilers Piano House,
Portland, Or.
' Fifteen of America's greatest, most. responsible aiitl emi
nently renowned piano manufacturers joined Eilers Piano
Ilouse'in this undertaking'.
Of course, "piano certificates" or "prize checks" have no
intrinsic value in themselves and can only be accepted by a
dealer in position to place large orders, and when factories
agree to co-operate by rebating all or a great part of the
amount represented by the checks.
Why a Bonus of 5 Per Cent?
In the past we have conducted several publicity contests,
where certificates have been issued. Our experience has been
that the cost of the prizes, the advertising, etc., has averaged
about 5 per cent of the volume of business resulting there
from. In this instance it is ont costing lis a cent for this ex
pense, so we have determined to give our patrons the benefit
of this additional saving. Each and every piano in our stock
bears a card upon which is marked in plain figures the regular
established lowest retail price of the instrument. Select the
piano you want and if the price be, for example, $263, deduct
the amount of your prize check, plus 5 per cent ; pay one-tenth
of the balance in cash and take twenty-four months yes,
thirty months, if you wish, to pay the balance, for the mere
additional simple interest on the deferred payments.
Remember, 5 per cent does not mean a loss of profit to us,
but represents the amount of money that would ordinarily
go for preliminary advertising, printing bills, etc. In this case
it is your gain. s
