STARS POINT TO HUGHES LOS ANGELES ASTROLOGER PRE DICTS CANDIDATE'S ELECTION. Mr. Wilson Born Under Wrong; Com bination of Planets to Succeed as President, Ha Says. SALEM, Or., Sept. 15. (Special.) The stars and all signs celestial point to the election of, Gharlea Evaaa Hughes as President of the United States next November, according to the prediction of John H. McWhlrt. a professional astrologer of Los Angeles, who today forwarded to Secretary of State Olcott a letter in which he showed how Impossible it is for Presi dent Wilson to hope to succeed him self. After citing in full his reasons for Mr. Hughes election being assured. Mr. McWhlrt predicts that the result will be a landslide for the Republican can didate. "It would be folly to censure Mr. Wilson for not satisfying all the expec tations of the people," writes Mr. Mc Whlrt. "He has simply followed the indications of the stars at birth. Had he not been plaoed in the environ ments of President he would not have been thus tried on those points. "The politicians should learn how to choose a leader that will serve their wishes. It is very important to select men to hold positions in governmental affairs whose astro map Indicates har mony in all respects." According to Astrologer McWhlrt. the moon, in close conjunction 'with the planets Jupiter and Uranus, points inevitably to Mr. Hughes' election. They are said to be retrograde planets which, the Los Angeles seer declares, "always show to what extent the indi vidual becomes a man of destiny." With Jupiter and Uranus both retrograde, and in conjunction with the moon. Mr. McWhlrt says they show to what ex tent the people will support such an individual. "The moon Is the slgnlflcator of Can cer," writes Mr. McWhlrt. "and, as this house is the house of friends, this illus trates why the peopde are now coming to Mr. Hughes, and why Mr. Hughes in all things will be eminently satisfac tory in dealing with the Nation."

UNDERWRITERS PAY VISIT Mariners Who Viewed' Damage After Her Arrival In Tow of Oneonta Express Surprise That She Was Able to Stand Strain. The O. M. Clark has her forefoot and the forward end of the keel splin tered, planking badly splintered and broken in places on the port side from amidships aft to the stern post, an other hole on the starboard side, as well as one blade of the propeller gone, from having struck on the south Jetty when entering the Columbia River at 11 o'clock Wednesday night. The vessel arrived up late Thursday night In tow of the Port of Portland tug Oneonta. and during the night the tug John McCraken pumped water from the hold, while the Clark's pumps worked also, so she was kept afloat, and yesterday morning was warped into the Oregon drydock. where she was high and dry at 13:30 o'clock. Captain E. C Genereaux and Captain W. C McNaught, representing the un derwriters, surveyed the ship and bids for repairs will be asked. Mariners who viewed the damage yesterday declared the vessel must have gone over the outer end of the enrockment of the Jetty, first striking forward and then swinging against rocks on the outside to cause the holes to be torn on the port side of the hull. It is said she was held there for probably half an hour, which Is borne out by the manner in which the keel Is ground away In places. Save for about 80 or 40 feet forward the entire keel is splintered away. On the vessel being lifted water poured from the broken places In the hull in perfect cascades. Fastenings exposed along the keel were bent and twisted as though so many pins, and shipping men marveled that she man aged to escape ending her career on the enrockment. The Clark had been on drydock pre vious to the voyage, as she was aground at Mazatlan a short time be fore. Captain Barnes had succeeded Captain Hlgglns In command at San Francisco, and it was his initial trip in the ship as master. CONTRARY WINDS HOLD BARK Levi G.

Thomsen. her master, re counts that he saw the Berlin, her fleet-mate,- towed out by the tug Akutan and that there were 14 ships there in all. Two steamers of the Alaska Pack ers' Association fleet, be says, towed for three days in order to get sailers of that flag through the pass. The day he got out, he narrates. It was with a southeaster blowing so he tacked back again later and a shift of wind took place that was favorable, so the bark stood away for the Colum bia. He waa 20 days out and as he lost 10 days getting through the Pass, figures his actual sailing time as not among the slowest. The ship brought 47,934 cases of salmon, valued at $236, 5S0. She is in the slip at Municipal Dock No. 1 and began discharging there yesterday. WILLAPA LIGHT IS TRICKY Three Times Aid Is Found Burning After Being Reported Out. In a report to Inspector Warrack. f the Seventeenth Lighthouse District. Captain Richardson, of the tender Man zanlta, avers that the Wlllapa Bay gas buoy is burning brightly, contradicting notification received a few days ago that the aid was out. As it Is the third time in two months it was reported extinguished and each time the tender has found it burning, there is a sus picion that a deep-sea spook is quar tered thereabouts. One report was from a passing mer chantman and the two others from the Coast Geodetic Service. In one case it was said that while the buoy was not actually out. Its beam wae seen only Intermittently. Inspector Warrack is inclined to the belief that there are times when the haze obscures the light and navigators take It for granted that it is extinguished. Meanwhile, as much fuel has been consumed by tenders and time lost looking after the lone Illum ination, as is required for all at the mouth of the Columbia.
