SANTA CLARA JM SOHTH Sffl
ROCKS WITH
ADELINE SMITH REPORT THAT -
SANTA CLARA IS FAST ON ROCKS
The Santa Clara's wireless apparatus went out of commis
sion about 5 o'clock, indicating that she had struck the rocks
and was taking water and her engine room was flooded.
The last wireless message from the Adeline Smith said the
Santa Clara was hopelessly on the rocks.
The life-saving crew and the gasoline schooner May wore
making for the scene at the last report.
POSITION OF PASSENGER SHIP
DANGEROUS WITH
The Santa Clara, bound from Portland to Coos Bay, ranjn
on the South Spit, near Mussel Reef, about 4:30 this after
noon. 1
The bar was very rough at the time and what swung her
out of the course could not be determined by Captain Dunson
from the lighthouse.
About 5 o'clock Captain Dunson said that Capt. Lofsted was
making a turn and if the. seas subsided a few moments might
be able to make his way out to safety.
Apparently the pumps were being worked, indicating that
tho Santa Clara had been damaged.
The Adeline Smith, which was about to put out, was laying
just inside the bay, Captain Olson preparing to render every
assistance possibfe. ,
By making the turn, Capt. Lofsted might be able to avail
himself of the inside channel, Captain Dunson said. 1
KKI'OUT HAXTA CLARA'S BOATS BHIXO LOWHKHD
.
According to tho Inst report from tho lighthouse Capt. Lofsted
as apparently arranging to low er tho boats to try nnd got the
passengers ashoro, ovldontly huv lug given up hope of getting tho
Santa Clara oft tho spit.
VMOM
The Santa Clara, ns noar as could be Judged, was In on tho South Spit
i"t about directly opposlt6 whero tho Claromont struck on tho sunken
M'y aiij wub wrecked n tow months ago.
8- 0, S, calls woro sent out by Cup t Lofsotd us soon us tho Santa
c,ra neared tho dangei Hnq.
Owing to tho Adeline 'Smith being heavily loaded with lumber, it will
l difficult for Capt. Olson to rondor tho assistance that ho might othor
'se have given the Santa Clara. -
Tlie bar dredgo Michlo loft Hmplt-o at ton minutes to five and will pos-
,lb'- be ablo to work in elbso enough to got a lino to tho Santa Clara.
The Santa Clura is not far distant from where tho Marconi, tho Simp

jneanB of a breeches buoy.

today. Thero aro many municipal

Stato-wldo prohibition of tho II1
uor traffic Is an issue again this
year, as It was last year In tho
form of a proposod constitutional
umoudmont, which would forbid tho
snlo or manufacture for flalo of any
alcoholic bovoragos.
Tho "wots" havo countered this
proposal with petitions under tho In
itiative and roforondum law by
which the people will also voto on
nnothor provision which would pre
vout tho submission of any consti
tutional amendment moro than
twice in six years.
Is Only Btntc
Ohio is tho only stato In tho Union
which will voto this fall upon tho
liquor Issue. In addition to tho
broudor question of prohibition tho
so-called qulro llceuso decentraliza
tion law, pussod by tlto recent Legis
lature, will bo subjected to roforen
dum. Tho Issue concerns lurgoly
tho method of llconflo commission
ers. Also Under Klre.
Tho Spraguo Congressional redis
ricting bill, passed by tho rocont
Legislature, will also bo undor flro
by referendum, which was petitioned
by tho Domocratlo stato organiza
tion. Tho redisricting law as drawn
would, it is declared, result in nor
mal years In tho election of sixteen
Konubllcnn Congressmen and possi
bly six Democratic Congressmen. Tho
Democrats claim thut tho law which
they passed whon In power divided
tho districts evenly na botween tho
two parties.
All cities In Ohio will select May

no Htato officers uro to bo chosen
