The Hanalei broke Into splinters early today, after pounding on the reef nearly 24 hours. Some of the frag ments washed far enough Inshore to enable those clinging to them to make a fight for their lives. The ordinary apparatus of lifesaving was powerless against distance, fog and a breaking sea. Among those washed ashore un aided were Mrs. Ethel Ferguson- and her son Harold, 8 years old, of Windsor, Cal. OH from the fuel tanks of the smashed ship coated the sea and made limy the rocks of the bei.cn, adding to the difficulties of the rescuers. Life Savers Venture Far. The life savers ventured far out Into the water to help ashore all within reach and, as daylight came, they could see numbers of naif-drowned men float ing not far from shore. On one large piece of wreckage four men were seen floating. Captain Nelson ordered the big mortar-taken to the beach and a lino was hot across their Improvised raft. The men were brougnt ashore with diffi culty, as they were suffering severely from their night in the water and one of their number. First Officer Thomas McTeague, was so badly injured that be may not live. Women Hear Another Cry In Vain. Four women clung to the floating pilothouse of the Hanalei after she broke up and listened to the heart rending cries for help from another who had been one of their party on the trip down from Eureka. All the fear of death that was reach ing out and pulling her down was in the cries of Jean Scott as she struggled and pleaded for help, but the sobs of her frantic and helpless companions were the only answer. Gradually the cries became weaker and weaker and then, somewhere In the darkness, al most within hands' reach, were si lenced entirely. "When the boat began to break up we tried to stay together as much as possible," said Miss Rose Kaufman, of 536 Second avenue, San Francisco, "and we all managed to get together on the same piece of wreckage. Wave Tears Victim Away. "Then one unusually big wave struck ns and knocked nearly all of us off, but all excepting Jean succeeded in getting back on the wreckage again. She clung desperately to the edge and we tried to help her, but to no purpose. "'Hold on," I told her. It Is only a matter of time until we will all be saved.' But she was terribly fright ened and I think this weakened her. Another wave broke over us and tore her away. She cried so piteousjy for helt). it was awful, out no one could do anything. Every one had to fight for herself, and finally we heard her cries no more." Miss Kaufman sustained numerous bruises, for" which she was treated at the Harbor Emergency Hospital. Babe Lost Alter Straggle. How a mother and another woman struggled tbrough the long black hours of night against the cruel might of thundering breakers to save the tiny life of a baby boy, only to be beaten, Is another of the many graphic and eupertragic stories brought to shore by the survivors. Mrs. Valentine Franz. Jr., was the mother who lost the child and Miss Celina La Rue was the woman who fought the losing fight with the mother to save the child s lire, tsoth women were among those rescued. Miss La Rue said- "Drifting with her baby in her arms, a huge piece of wreckage struck the mother and she became uncoisciousbut she held out the child to me instinctively as she felt her grasp failing. I took the little fellow In my arms and fought to save us both. Suddenly something struck me, and L too. began to feel myself going. Child Slips From Grasp. "My last remembrance Is of seeing Mrs. Franz grasp the child's clothing with her teeth Just as the baby was slipping from the wreckage on which we were floating. My memory Is a blank, for an endless series of waves struck me and buffeted me around until I couldn't tell whether I was conscious or not. "When next I saw the mother she was on the McCulloch, but her baby was gone." A pathetic Incident attended the Iden tification of I C. Merritt, the Eureka dock agent, the eldest of whose four children Is a son, aged 16. Among the drowned man's effects were found six cartoons drawn by the son and showing evidence of fine draughtsmanship. In his pride at his boy's skill, the father had brought the drawings with him. Oiler Saves Two Live. As for J. Kennedy, the oiler, Wire less Operator Lovejoy said today that he had sailed under an alias from San Francisco. though his home was at Astoria. Kennedy saved two lives, the last probably at the cost of his own. According to eye witnesses, he swam to a raft after the Hanalei had broken up, only to let go his hold, as he saw a woman struggling nearby In the water, and swim back with her to the slender support that meant life. Though he saved the drowning wom an, he paid the last penalty for his heroism. Weakened by this and his other effort, the gallant fireman could cling no longer to the raft, but bidding the woman whose life he had saved farewell and godspeed, dropped back Into the swirling waters and sank from sight. SURVIVORS ARE CARED FOR Captain Says There Was No Excite ment in Trying Hoars. BOLTNAS, CaL, Nov. 24. Survivors of the wrecked steamer Hanalei. their faces blackened by the oil-strewn waters enclosing Durbury Reef, spent the greater part of the day here today recuperating from their terrible expe riences of the last 18 hours. Of those whom the Marconi Company officials cared for In the dormitory of the big wireless station, two were women and one was a boy of 8. The latter was Harold Turkenson, who won life and safety by a thrilling ride through the surf astride a spar when the stricken ship slipped from the reef at 4 o'clock this morning. Two of the survivors were so seri ously hurt that they were removed to a San Rafael hospital. C. O. Blincoe, of Visalla, a passenger, fractured his right leg when it was caught between timbers, at the time the Hanalei slid into deep water. Thomas McTeague. first mate, was badly Injured late Monday night when the Hanalei's life gun exploded. He suffered internal Injuries. Almost crazed with pain, McTeague battled his way to the beach early today. strewn over the dormitory railings and hanging from windows were the sodden clothes of the wreck victims, while the victims themselves sat in chairs enveloped In blanketu or lay asleep on cots ana mattresses. There were no complaints and no criticism. The wrecked nerves of the men demanded tobacco, and this was the first question asked of each new arrival: "Have you anything to smoke?" High up on the beach, beyond reach of the weaves, rested the bodies of Mrs. M. E. Cottrell, of Eureka, and J. A. Hutchinson, of Sacramento. After a hasty inquest by Coroner A. E. Sawyer, of San Rafael, both bodies were re moved. A member of the Hanalei's crew was chance companion of Hutchinson when the hour came for all to care for themselves. Both met in the broiling sea and climbed onto a hatch cover. A moment later Hutchinson relaxed his hold and slipped back into the sea. He did not appear again until his body was found wedged in a mass of wreck age. - Mrs. Turkenson and her son Harold were on their way from Eureka to their home In Windsor, Sonoma County. Mother and boy were constant com panions on deck from the moment the Hanalei struck. They separated only when the waves threw them apart at the last. Harold was badly cut about the face In his struggles among the floating debris. When dragged ashore he asked for his mother, and was as sured of her safety. Mrs. Turkenson was aided by members of the Hanalei's crew to hold her place on floating tim bers and she reached shore in an ex hausted condition. She and her boy were sent immediately to San Fran cisco. One of the early arrivals at Bolinas this morning was Val Franz. Jr., a San b rancisco contractor, whose- wife and 11-months old son were passengers on the Hanalei. He was told that both had been lost. Later came the report from San Francisco that Mrs. Franz had been picked up alive by the Fort Point lliesaving crew, but that the baby was missing. Mrs. Franz was taken to San Francisco. Captain James J. Carey, master of the Hanalei, was perhaps- the most self contained of all the survivors here. "Through all the trying hours." he said, "there was no excitement. A sense of helplessness seemed to per- vaoe tne snip and this condition pro duced resignation rather than hysteria. Ail acted splendidly." Tons of flotsam are piled high upon the shore and safe at last in a shel tered cove 300 yards from the Jagged ledge where, "she struck Monday noon. the hulk of 'the Hanalei is burrowing deeper into the white sands of Bolinas Bay. TEACHERS SEE COLLEGE LINN AND BENTON INSTRUCTORS IN SESSION AT CORVALL1S. Various Departments of Agricultural Institution Ispected and Topical Addresses Are Heard. CORVALLIS, Or., Nov. 24. Between 300 and 400 teachers from Linn and Benton Counties attending the Joint in stitute visited the Oregon Agricultural College today. A halt In the Institute was taken at 10 o'clock so that the teachers might have an opportunity of seeing the pouring of metal . at the student foundry, the handling of the lathes In the machine shops, the basket weaving and other work done In the domestic art department, and the drill of the Cadet regiment. The Corvallls High School Band gave a concert and Judge Flenner, of Idaho, contributed a reading from J. Whitcomb Riley to night. Addresses by President Campbell, of the University of Oregon, and Dr. W. J, Kerr, president of Oregon Agricultural College, were part of the day's pro gramme. Dr. Kerr, In his address on the new movement In education, de clared that the objective is such read justment and adaptation of school work that it will be of the greatest value in training all the children of all the peo pie for the kind of life, economic and social, which they are to lead, when they leave school. Referring to the question of " the length of the school period. President Kerr declared that such period should be reduced by at least two yeaYs. He referred to the report of Dr. Dana, in which it is shown that In America the school year ranges from 30 to 40 weeks, with an average of about 1000 hours, while in Germany, France and England the school year covers a period of from 45 to 46 weeks, with an average of about X500 hours. ' . T. D. Jones Escapes From Asylum. SALEM, Or., Nov. 24. (Special.) T. D. Jones, committed about three months ago from Portland, escaped from the State Insane Asylum today. Ha had been employed as a waiter in the asylum dining-room. The man is re garded as being harmless. An extensive deposit of coal has been dis covered in Bolivia at au altitude of 13.OU0 fet- ' LUMBER TRADE HAS QUICKENED PULSE Demand at San Francisco Is Better, Spurring Markets . Here to More Activity. FOUR CARRIERS TAKEN Ships Engaged for Cargoes to West Coast Orders for Far East Yards Are Few Since Building Is Slackened. San Francisco lumber firms report an enlivened demand for offshore car goes, and while tne condition 1b not expected to continue. It serves. In a measure, to offset the sluggish condi tions that have prevailed since early In September, when the effect of the war generally was felt in exporting circles. Four lumber engagements were made last week, the steamer Olson & Mahony having been fixed at San- Francisco at private terms to load for the West Coast; the steamer Columbia, the lat ter being taken by W. R. Grace & Co- while the schooner William Olson was taken to load on Puget Sound for the West Coast and the schooner William H. Smith from the Columbia River for Auckland, the two sailers being en gaged at 47s 6d. Samoena Destined for England, Business so far this week consists of the charter of the Russian ship Samo ena to load at a North Pacific port for Englandat 78s 9d. The British steamer Strathgarry has been substituted for the Straendrick to load lumber for Davies & Fehon for Australia, part of which cargo Is to be assembled at Eureka and the remain der either on the Columbia River or In the north. The same firm has the Strathalrly, which hails from Honolulu, and after taking on 600,000 feet at VVestport finishes at the Eastern & Western mill with 3.000,000 feet, the cargo to be dispatched for Australia. There is no change reported in the Oriental lumber market. Advices from there are that all public work in China has been stopped and money is tight for private purposes, so lumber yards are not increasing stocks, with no pros pect that the demand will be enlivened. Aiamutan Only for Far East. The Japanese tramp Azumusan Maru is working the last of her lumber cargo at Wauna for Shanghai and she is tne only large carrier here loading for the far East. The Asama Maru was dis patched over a week ago for the same territory, and there is little prospect of more steamers being sent in that direction this year. In all quarters future business Is de clared to depend on the end of the war. for while there may be a few cargoes of lumber sent to England meanwhile, the big rush is looked for when hos tilities have ceased and the French and Belgian territory has recovered In a measure from the effects. In domestic business, it Is predicted that business will improve after 1915 is ushered In, particularly in the de mand from the Atlantic Coast. Since building at the San Francisco and San Diego fairs have reached a stage that little more material is required to com plete various structures, the present volume of lumber shipments probably will remain unchanged during the W inter. ALASKAN COMMERCE COURTED Chamber Sends Letter Promising Better Service Next Year. Expressing the friendliest wishes from the business men of Portland to those of Alaska, the Portland Chamber of Commerce has issued a letter to be sent to all of the Alaska patrons of the steamship line which has operated through the Summer out of Portland to Alaska and which now has suspend ed for the Winter. The letter, which promises Increase and improvement of the service for another year and bespeaks a greater ' effort to extend the scope of trade be tween Portland and Alaska, follows: Gentlemen Portland takes this opportun ity to thank you in most cordial spirit for the support given our opening trade effort in Alaska. For all this Portland is deeply gratetul, and the chamber la glad to an nounce that we will concentrate our efforts upon proving the community entirely worthy of your confidence. When we decided to enter Alaska again, on a permanent basis, we recognized that we would have to bear losses at the incep tion of the effort. It was deemed best for the first year of this effort, which wou.d be largely educational, for both Portland and Alaska, to launch the enterprise in a modest way. Assurance was given by practically al. your merchants that a most important in crease in the share of business to be sent Portland would result Immediately from use of larger craft, with better handling fa cilities. This assurance is the key-note of our effort for the coming year. Your goods will be better handled, given better dispatch and delivered with a regularity that will make the. filling of orders a comfortable business condition. We were told at the beginning that Alas kans wanted competition and that they believed Portland could give that. You have had evidence of this fact the present season, handicapped as our merchants were. Every commanlty has distinctive advantages in certain products, and we claim Portland has more of these than any other of tne North west. We beg to remain your business friends, committed to a larger and better trade to and from Alaska, in which there will be mutual advantage. Sincerely yours, A H. AVERILL, President. JORT 21 A VI GATES XEVADAN Isthmian and Santa Cruz at San Francisco En Route for Portland. Captain J. W. Jory is master of the American-Hawaiian liner Nevadan now, having been given command at San Francisco Saturday and sailed with the steamer Sunday for New York, reliev ing Captain Anderson.' Captain Jory was chief officer on the liner Hono lulan , when she plied between San Francisco and the Hawaiians under charter to the Matson Navigation Com pany, which service she left Just before the canal was opened. The Honolulan also got away from the Golden Gate Sunday with passengers and cargo for the East Coast. The Isthmian is to sail from San Francisco today for Portland with cargo loaded at New York, as well as some brought from there by the Ne vadan, the latter having been turned back because she lost time. The Grace liner Santa Cruz reached the Golden Gate Monday from New York and will be here this week. ECCXESIA GOES FOR ORDERS Oweenee Reaches Llnnton and Fal kirk Is to Leave for Sea Today. Laden to capacity with flour and wheat, the British steamer Ecclesia was cleared yesterday for orders and it is understood she will probably go to a French port to discharge. She carries about 3000 tons of flour and 2500 tons of wheat. The British bark Falkirk, fully laden for the United Kingdom, leaves down today In tow of the ateam- er Ocklahama. i The British bark Oweenee arrived up ! yesterday and was berthed at Llnnton to discharge ballast. With the Cortez : and Bolgen she will be shifted Into the harbor next week, all to work grain for the United Kingdom. The en route fleet was added to yesterday with the charter of the Russian bark Professor Koch, which will come here from Mel bourne. The Crown of India, which reached the river Saturday, was taken, and. as her owners asked 40 shillings and offers under that sum were re fused, it is supposed that she was fixed at that rate. There is said to be little tonnage offering at London for North west loading and there are no sailers nearby that have not been taken. TWO CONTRACTS UP TODAY Electric, Track and Roadway Work Starts at New Municipal Dock. Bids are to be opened this morning at the office of the Commission of Pub lic Docks for wiring the first ware house built by that body in the rear of Municipal Dock No. 1. also for com pleting the laying of railroad tracka on the property and constructing a plank roadway from Front street to the center of the dock, which also serves the warehouse. The tenders will be assembled so that a comprehensive re port can be made by G. B. Hegardt. engineer of the Commission, and sub mitted at a meeting to be held Friday. The dock is being well cleared of cargo with which It was piled last week, and there will be more than enough space for the cargo of the Grace liner Santa Cruz, which is due Friday from New York with about 2000 tons. The war abroad having caused certain steamship plans to be deferred, no new applications have been received for dock space, which is not discourag ing to the Commission, as It Is hoped to accommodate only a limited number until the slip and pier are ready and the entire dock in shape to be thrown open. KATANGA HELD AT. GtJAXMAS Owners of Belgian Bark Not Heard From Since Antwerp Was Lost. What is to become of the Belgian bark Katanga, reported at Guaymas since September 17, is of concern to the Portland Flouring Mills Company, as that firm has the ship under charter and she should be well up the Coast ere this in order to safeguard her char ter, yet nothing has been heard offi cially from the ship or her owners since before the fall of Antwerp. Her owners reside at the captured city, and It is not known whether they were among the killed in the onslaught of the Germans, have gone to the front with others of the Belgian forces or what not. Save that German ships have been held In various ports since the war opened, because of their fear that hostile naval ships might capture them, no vessels flying the flag of a country at war have been absolutely hampered by the strife except the Katanga. For a time British ships were held inside, and those that went to sea on this Coast took every precaution, while the German carriers all remained in harbors they had reached previous to the war. MOOKIXG DOLPHINS DRIVEX Xew Ivanding of Diamond O Fleet Adjoins Portland Shipyards. Last of the dolphins ordered at the new moorings of the Diamond O fleet, adjoining the yard of the Portland Shipbuilding Company on the south, were driven yesterday and barges of the line will be assembled there at once. Since construction started on the new trestle of the Southern Pacific on the Bast Side, between the Burnside-street and Steel bridges, the Diamond O and Shaver fleets have been quartered at different points along the West Side. As soon as the Southern Pacific ac cepts the improvements, it is under stood that the Shaver fleet will return there, mooring alongside, and perhaps one or two barges may be held there by the Diamond O for emergencies. The harbor has been built up to such an extent during the past year that fsw desirable pieces of property are avail able for barge moorings only at a con siderable distance from the center of tb.3 city; MIXJi SI HITS HEADQUARTERS Wilcox Building to Become Home of of Big Flour Corporation. TTrlrlnv rwl RAturdav will bfl movinz day for tno Portland Flouring Mills Company, which Is to vacate quarters on the second floor of the Concord building, occupied for several years, and establish Itself at the Wilcox build ing, Sixth and Washington streets, the entire sixth floor of which will be utilized.

First and Stark streets, from 1884 until the Concord building was selected. For the past week preparations have been under way in getting records and other prop erty In shape for transporting, and two days will be required for the transfer. Marine Notes. Though it was planned to have ves sels of the "Big Three" fleet inspected here annually, the Bear was inspected at San Francisco on her arrival there on her last voyage. While In Port land last she was drydocked for clean ing and painting. W. D. Wells, Portland agent for the San Francisco & Portland line, thinks some wag is taking advantage of the fact he contributed to assist a woman to reach California last week, for another woman called yesterday and said she had been told the company was aiding deserving individuals to reach the Southland. Mr. Wells says he Is positively prohibited from lend ing aid either financially or with trans portation.

SEVERAL MEETINGS HELD Indemnity Demands Made by Op posing Factions at First but Un der. Pressure of Officers Dif ferences Settled Amicably. Peace settled over Chinatown yester day, following a day of negotiations between the Hop Sing and the Suey Sing tongs. It was agreed between the warring factions that by virtue of a settlement wherein mutual concessions were made, no more outbreaks of shooting and stabbing affrays wi.'l take place in this city. The truce was enforced by threats made by District Attorney Evans and Sheriff Word. Deportation was the whip held over the warring highbind ers. Leaders of the two tongs were summoned to the District Attorney's office in the morning and a conference held at which Mr. Evans declared that if further outbreaks took place, whole sale arrests of Chinese would be made and all found to be without "choc cheef." or certificates of legal resi dence in this country, would be turned over to the Immigration authorities of the Government for deportation. Hint of Trouble Comes. Representatives of the tongs took this hint home with them and medi tated over it during the noon hour yesterday.

In the main corridor of the County Jail, the tong men were grouped to gether for a discussion of their differ ences. Lee May Gin acted as official interpreter. Said Chee and Moy Hani, leaders of the Hop Sings, were present with many supporters of that clan. Wong Dong, peace delegate of the Hop Sings from San Francisco, was also on hand. Leaders of the rival tong, the Suey Sings, were Tung Choe and John Hook, the latter being the delegate from San Francisco. Local leaders and gun men were present, keeping a wary eye on the opposing camp, but in spite of the feeling of hostility in the air the highbinders got down to a dls cusslon of their grievances and the situation was considerably simplified. Each tong was represented by at torneys. Dan Powers appeared for the Hop Sings and B. S. Pague for the Suey Sings. The expulsion of Lum Ting Ying from the Suey Sing tong was demanded. This agent of one branch of the highbinders is 'charged with having stabbed Jim Wong, of the Hop Sings, in the recent outbreak. Expulsion Said to Mean Death. This request did not appeal to the Suey Singf. They allege that the tong is a philanthropic organization to which its members may look at all times for protection and help. To ex pel a member is to leave him at the mercy of his enemies, and they believe that such an one, cast adrift by a tong to which he has been allied, would meet swift death at the hands of the rival organization. District Attorney Evans declared the tong wars must stop in Portland and he was determined to do It even if he had to ship every Chinaman in the city back to his native land. When the meeting adjourned the tong leaders were given one hour to come to a complete settlement of their difficulties.
