Kive other seamen were seen cllnsln to the line Forest until mld fnrrnoon. when. In attempting to reach shore In their own little boat, they were hurled Into the billows and lost.

The rale Increased In fury ' and about S o'clock the Ions hawser astern the tug parted. The li kens was then a mile or more to the westward of Peaked Hill life-saving station. The last watch of the night patrol was started out from the Peaked Hill atatlon when he discovered wreckage In the breakers. The crew was quickly sum moned, but It was too dark to make out anything. More flotsam came tumbling on the beach, but there was nothing to identify It. At dawn a stranded barge with a sin pie mast could be 'seen In the breakers on the outer bar, while In the offing hov ered a tug. which afterward proved to be the Lykens. The life-savers soon realised that no lifeboat could traverse tho-e 300 j aril of billows. Two mi were seen cllnglns; to the rig ging and three others holding onto the house. It was apparent that the other two barges had long since broken up The Lykens could not render assistance and started for Provlncetown. Shortly before 1" o'clock the men on the Pine Format were seen to gather In a group. Before those on the beach real ized their purpose, the dory on top of the barge-hnuse had been cut loose and Uunched. All five men then tumbled In the one boat and grasped their oars. A big comber came rolling around the stern of the barge and over them. That was the end. , SCHOONER DEEP IX SAXDS Crew Jlefnses to Desert Ship When I.lfe-Saverg Proffer Aid. ATLANTIC CITY. N. J..

A personal registration law waa recommended to aid In successful oper ation of the direct primary law passed by the last Leglslature. The Governor urged the Legislature -. i : , s i - . li il ililiMn IS II fcum i n Hm SI LATHAM to approve the amendment to the Fed eral Constitution approving an Income tax. - Among other recommendations are the following: Establishment of a cen tral board to control the state penal and charitable Institutions; four-year terms for state officials; constitutional amendments giving the people the right to recall state officials; limiting the receipt of campaign contributions to state and county chairmen and the keeping of a complete register of such contributions available for public in spection.

SIMS WILL BE REBUKED TAFT ORDERS REPRIMAND FOR SPEECH IX LONDON. Naval Officers Mnt Not Express Friendship for One Nation at Expense of Others. WASHINGTON. Jan. 10. President Taft decided today that Commander W. S. 81ms. the United States naval' offi cer, who at a recent dinner given In London by the Mayor of that city, de clared that If Great Britain ever were seriously threatened she could depend on "every man. every dollar, every drop of blood In this country, should be publicly reprimanded. "His offense bos been so conspicu ous." said the President In his letter to Secretary of the Navy Meyer directing the reprimand, "that the action of the department In reproving it should be equally so." The President says that whenever an officer of the American Navy Is called on In a foreign country to speak In pub lic, so that what he aays will necessar ily be brought to the attention of the people in other countries, it la his ob vious duty to avoid Invidious compari sons and to limit his speech and his ex pressions of friendship for the country whose guest he Is. to language that will not indicate a lack of friendahlp toward other countries. Commander Sims cannot escape cen sure, the President holds, on the ground that what he aald waa a mere expression of his personal opinion; under the cir cumstances he must speak as an official representative, and he should have known that the words he used at once call for severe comment In other coun tries than Great Britain, and might in volve this Government In explanation and disclaimer.

BIRDMAN IS NOT INJURED Ely Has Minor Accident and Is Forced to Descend, While Wll . lard and Radley Are Cnable to Make Successful FHchts. AVIATION FIELD. San Francisco, Jan. 10. Hubert Latham, the young French bird man, had a remarkable es cape from death on San Francisco's aviation field today. In his second flight of the afternoon he encountered adverse wind conditions that forced him suddenly down, after he had at tained an elevation of about 30 feet. Alighting precipitately at the far end of the grounds, he struck a barbed wire fence, completely wrecking his monoplane. The boat-like body of the craft was broken Into three pieces, the breaks occurring Just In front and behind the driver's seat. Latham Is Unhurt. Latham sat tight and escaped with out a scratch while his machine splint ered about him. The engine was badly damaged, both blades of the propeller were snapped buus i n, were torn Into strips and one wheel of the running ground gear was wrenched completely off. When an army - ambulance which dashed out from Camp Selfridge, close by which the accident occurred, reached the aviator's side. Latham was found ruefully Inspecting the wreck of his machine and puffing hard on a consoling cigarette. Latham was distinctly "blue" over his mishap and declared that he prob ably would not be able to participate further in the local meet. Later, how ever, his mechanicians took a more hopeful view of the situation and as serted that they might be able to re pair the Antoinette and have It ready for service by next Saturday. Accident Is Second. This is the second machine wrecked by Latham In his last two engage ments, his first mishap having occurred at the Los Angeles meet. Late in the afternoon, Latham set out on 'his second and disastrous trlkl with the Intention of trying some tar get shooting. He had a shotgun slung within easy reach when the smashup came. Today's exhibition developed noth ing of a spectacular nature. Threaten ing weather kept the aeroplane en thusiasts in the city and only a fair sized crowd was on hand when Eugene Ely, of the Curtiss camp, began the programme with a short flight. Ely's.FUght Short. Ely started on a trial to establish a speed record for five laps of the local course, but after circling the field several times, he descended having been in the air only six minutes. The reason Ely cut short his opening flight was because of the breakage of a rud der stay. He had no difficulty, how ever. In alighting. The following message from the cruiser West Virginia, was received by wireless at the aviation grounds: "Aviation Field Will be glad to see Mr. Latham in this direction at any time. ADMIRAL BARRAY." So far no announcement of any at tempt to fly from the city to visit the Pacific fleet has been made, Radley Falls to Fly. James Radley. the English aviator who made an Ineffectual attempt to fly on Sunday, had trouble again this afternoon, and after attempting to rise, got only as far as the lower end of the field, where owing to conflicting wind currents against which he was unable to lift his machine, he waa forced to descend. Charles F. Wlllard. of the Curtiss camp, also was forced to bring hra machine to the ground after circling the field. He came down suddenly, alighting In a pool of water at the far end of the field. Neither Radley nor Willard waa In jured. Radley's machine was wheeled Into the hangar. WHITE'S PROTEST IS RETURNED Aeronautical Federation Declines to Hear Protest Against Balloonist. PARIS. Jan. 10.
