SAULT STE. MARIE, Mich., Dec.
19. Twenty men who were aboard
the tug Reliance, wrecked on the
rocks of the Lizard islands last
"Wednesday and who spent five days
on the islands with scant shelter
from the sub-zero temperature and
with scarcely any food, arrived here
tonight. Three others are aboard
the tug Gray, now engaged in tak
ing off Lake Superior light keepers-.
and will be brought here later this
week.
All the eurvivors brought here
tonight were Buffering from expos
ure and received medical attention
at hotels.
With the arrival of the eurvivors
came the detailed story of their ex-,
periences and the loss of four of
their numfoer. Three of the 36 per
sons aboard the tug when she was
wrecked lost their lives while try
ing to launch a lifeboat. They were
Captain John McPhereon, Fred
Regan and Gus Johns', who were
washed overboard. Regan and Johns
clung to the boat and were carried
out into the lake, where they per
ished, while Captain McPherson, an
elderly man, was injured In the fall
and aank immediately.
Berries Fatal to Refugee.
The fourth man, unidentified, re
fused to heed the warning of his
companions and was poisoned by
eating frozen berries after the party
had abandoned the water-filled tug
and taken refuge on one of the
islands, from which they were
picked up Monday .by the Gray and
the Favorite.
William Gow. a fireman on the
Reliance, was the hero of the wreck.
He realized the 23 men would eoon
be forced to leave the tug, which
was pounding on the rocks, and
planned the!r escape to the island.
A raft was constructed of barrel
staves and a stairway torn from the
Reliance. Gow then tied a rope
about his waist, plunged into the icy
waters and swam 75 yards to shore.
The rope was tied to a tree and
with its aid the others were taken
off the tug, three at a time.
The only food on the tug was
canned meat, water-soaked bread
and cake. Knowing that the food
would not sustain them for any
length of time, the men first ra
tioned the bread, allowing only two
slices to each.
When this was exhausted they
made soup of the meat and lived on
that alone until they were rescued.
Hut Built of Brush.
One ax had been taken from the
iteliance, and with this they cut
poles and built a hut of brush to
shield them from the gale. The
sailor s precaution of carrying his
matches in a bottle probably saved
the lives of some of the men who
otherwise might have succumbed to
the extreme cold.
The survivors will remain here
until they are able to go to their
Homes.
Nine others aboard the wrecked
tug were able to reach the mainland
In lifeboats last Saturday, and seven
or tnem cam here by train. Two,
one a woman, remained in a Cana
man luinoer camp to recuperate
iroin cne exposure.
VOTE CJfflSS DRDERED
COWLITZ COUNTY SEAT CON
' TEST TO BE DECIDED.
Transfer From Kalama to Kelso
Assured if Unofficial Returns
Are Found Correct.
OLTMPIA. Wash.. Dec. 19. The
state supreme court today authorized
the commissioners of Cowlii county
to proceed with the canvass of elec
tion returns in the county seat con
test, which means that if the unoffi
cial returns are correct the county
seat will be transferred from
Kalama to Kelso. A .writ was issued
by the court to prohibit Superior
Judge Kirby of Cowlitz county, who
enjoined the commissioners from
proceeding with the canvass, from
further delaying the official count.
The opinion was the first to be
written by Justice Pemberton, who
was seated December 1: It was con
curred in by all judges except Jus
tice Tolman, although Justice Hol
comb in a separate opinion signed
by two of the judges said he con
curred in the result, "in the hope
that the legislature at least will
awake to the evil state of this law
and remedy it so as to provide for
an appeal from decisions of boards
of county commissioners in such
cases."
The action arose when I. N. Beigle
filed complaint in the superior court
alleging many unqualified electors
had voted, that registering ofticers
were guilty of fraudulent conduct
and that 1574 of the 2350 votes cast
in favor of the removal of the coun
ty seat were illegal. A restraining
order was then issued by Judge
Kirby on the commissioners.
The supreme court held the law
provides that county commissioners
have exclusive authority to canvass
election returns and in so doing to
go behind the returns and investi
gate the ballots to ascertain the
number of legal votes cast m de
termining the result of the election
and the court is without jurisdic
tion so long as they proceed as the
statute directs.
REFUGEES SEE HARDSHIP
Fishing Schooner's Crew 22 Days
on Rocky Beach.
faUATTLE, Dec. 19, The tale of
the hardships that followed wreck
ing of the Seattle fishirg schooner
Washington in l'akataga bay, Alas
ka, November 7.1, was brought here
today by two members of her crew,
ii-rnng Oiscn, engineer and owner,
ana uiar Larsen, fisherman. With
tne live others of the crew, includ
ing Oswald Olsen. master, Erling
Olsen and Larson were marooned 22
days on the rocky, stormy shore of
Yakataga bay. During this time
they were on a ration of one meal
a day, fearing that they would have
to remain in that place until spring.
The Washington left Juneau Octo
ber 25, and the fishing was good.
The storm in which she foundered
on a rock was the fifth that she
had encountered. She had run into
Yakataga bay for shelter. After
the rock tore a hole in her side
the crew took to the boats, salvag
ing much of the stores, and fought
their way to shore. From the wreck
of a schooner cast up there two
years ago they made themselves a
hut. December 4 they succeeded in
launching the dory, and three of the
crew rowed 56 miles to Icy bay,
where a gas boat was obtained to
take the i arty to Katalla.
After the rescue it was learned
that other human beings were liv
ing within 40 miles of where the
crew was cast upon the rocks.
CLEVELAND, Dec. 19. Local
leaders of the conference for pro
gressive political action said that
state federations of labor in Penn
sylvania, Illinois, Indiana, Utah,
Wyoming, Wisconsin, Minnesota,

tional labor unions and central la
bor bodies in New York. Chicago,
Seattle and St. Paul have taken sim
ilar action, it was said.
PARTY CONVENTION WANTED
Farmer-Labor Delegates at Cleve-
- land Announce Stand.
CHICAGO. Dec. 19. Delegates of
the farmer-labor party who at
tended the recent conference for
progressive political action at Cleve
land soon will ask the national
committee of their party to define
the future relations of the party
to the conference and, will recom
mend that a national convention be
held early in 1923 to plan the 1924
presidential campaign, J. G. Brown,
the national secretary, announced
today. The conference at Cleve
land decided against independent
political action.
The groups meeting at Cleveland
formed a "tightly bound organiza
tion with a written constitution,"
Mr. Brown said in a statements
"Therefore certain questions arise.
What is the status of the constit
uent bodies of this new organiza
tion? Is there any place in it for a
sincere party organized for inde
pendent political action by hand and
brain workers?"
Mr. Brown stated that "those
groups, especially in the western
states, which, through experience,
have learned the folly of' trying to
advance the cause of the workers
through either of the old parties,"
would be invited to participate in
the national convention of the
farmer-labor party.
I youngster.. "For example, colonel.
I'll bet you 25 you have a wart on
your left shoulder."
"What?", said the colonel. T1
just take that bet" He pulled off
his blouse and his top shirt and dis
played a shoulder without a blem
ish. "There is no wart there," he
said. "You lose," give me the
rnoney. I hope this will be a les
son for you."
Then he put on his shirt, buttoned
up his blouse and dismissed the
young officer. Whereupon he sat
down and wrote a letter to the
colonel in Texas.
"Just as you wrote me, this
youngster wasn't in my office two
minutes before he bet me 25 that I
had a wrt on my left shoulder. Of
course he lost. I hope It will be a
'esson to him."
In a couple of weeks a reply came
from San Antonio.
"The youngster wins. Before he
'.eft, he bet me $100 he would have
your shirt off in five minutes after
he met you."

for divorce.
Mrs. ijngienearc cnarges in ner

who come to him for "divine heal
ing." Two of the 123 women she
names are said to be members of
his cult, while some of the others

charges of extreme cruelty and her
husband's association with other
women. She charges he beat her
and threw various objects at her.

mitted to an internment camp, and
upon his return resumed his prac
tice of "divinity."
It was then that he married

American Consul at Smyrna Is
One of Witnesses Before Im
migration Committee.
WASHINGTON, D. C, Dec. 19.
Colorful stories of the privations
and, persecutions suffered by Chris
tians in Turkey were told before the
houB$ immigration committee in
support of the White bill, proposing
to admit certain classes of near
east refugees into the United States.
One of those who testified was
Eliza Shaklnian, herself a refugee
whose flight was stopped at Ellis
island. Released on bond by the
Immigration authorities, she came to
Washington,, and between sobs re
lated how she had been carried into
captivity by the Turks, how her
near relatives all had been killed
one by one, and how she had made
her way to America, only to find
the door closed itr her face.
George Ho'rton, who was American
consul at Smyrna during the recent
Greeco-Turkish hostilities in that
region, corroborated many of the
assertions made by other witnesses
regarding the tribulations of the
Christian minorities in Turkey. He
said he was speaking wholly for
himself and not as a representative
of the state department, but could
not refrain from saying a word for
those who had suffered so patient
ly in the near east. When one com
mittee member suggested that the
refugees had occupied a district fer
tile in natural resources and should
be sent back there to work out their
own salvation, Mr. Horton replied.
"For God's sake don't do that. You
would be sending them to their
death."
Representatives of the near east
relief, the federal council of
churches, the Young Men's Chris
tian association and the Young
Women's Christian association were
among others who appeared to ask
for passage of the bill, which would
admit only near relatives of Ameri
can citizens among the refugees and
whose provisions would extend only
until June 30, 1924.
Governor's Course Believed
Indicate Possible Clash With
Klan at Hearing.
MONROE, La., Dec 19. Company
G, Louisiana national guard, con
sisting of 65 men and three officers
under command of Captain D. W.
Cooper, moved out of Monroe at 2:30
this afternoon on board automobile
trucks for Mer Rouge, In Morehouse
parish, under orders from the ad
jutant general's office at Baton
Rouge. Although no definite in
formation of the purpose of the mili
tary company at Mer Rouge has
been received here, it is understood
that the troops were called out in
connection with the situation
brought about by the kidnaping last
August by a band of hooded men
of five Mer Rouge citizens, two of
whom have disappeared.
One report in circulation before
the troops departed was that they
had been ordered to Bastrop, More
house parish seat, where they were
to guard the courthouse for the
next 30 days, indicating that an open
hearing into the kidnapings decided
on recently at a conference between
Governor Parker and Attorney-General
Coco would be held immediately.
The troops left Monroe well
equipped. In addition to arms and
ammunition they were supplied with
provisions to last 20 days.
Mayor Dade of Mer Rouge, in re
sponse to a message as to conditions
there, said tonight that there had
been no disorders of any kind at
Mer Rouge for several months.
Morehouse parish officials expressed
surprise that troops should be sent
into the parish, declaring normal
condition prevailed there.
The five Mer Rouge citizens, in
cluding Watt Daniels and Thomas
F. Richards, the two missing men,
were kidnapped on the night pf
August 24, while returning from a
meeting at Bastrop, by 30 or 40
hooded men. They were taken into
the country and a whipping was ad
ministered to at least two of them.
Three of the party, including John
Daniels, father of Watt Daniels,
were released, and after wandering
all night in the woods, returned to
their homes the following morning.
Nothing has been since heard from
Watt Daniels and Richards.
