last evening, la being sought thl fore
noon. ;; Four of the crew of th Ex

investigation la under way to fix" re
sponsibility for the mishap. .
Several vessels were waiting in the
fog at the harbor entrance early today,
fearing to come In on' account of the
danger of striking the drifting hulk,
-the location of which could not be de
termined. Three tugs were attempting to tow
the damaged Excelsior to Sausalito
late last evening when the achooncr.
pulled by a heavy , tide, broke- loose
and began drifting out to sea.
1 Other tugs are being sent out this
: afternoon to search for the wreck,
which la presumed to be still afloat.
The steamer ' Bear was the only
craft that made port last night, and
reported that no trace of the Excel-
. Slor was seen. All vessels outside
were informed by wireless of the sup
posed location of the hulk and the
; danger of being struck.
Four men from the steam schooner
Excelfrior, one of them in possibly a
critical condition, are in hospitals to
day. e
Chief 'Engineer Joseph Dorward of
Alameda is the seriously injured man,
" While the less badly hurt are , Joseph
. A. Foley, Oakland 4 fireman; Chris
Johnson, Oakland sailor, and Patrick
,i Smart, local fireman.
- The collision occurred shortly after
5 o'clock at the Harvard, the Pacific
navigation company's passenger
- steamer, was coming in from San
v Diego and San Fed ro and the Excel
sior, owned by the Caspar Lumber
company, was started north,
' Officials started plans for an in
VeBtlgatlon of the crash between the
Excelsior and the passenger liner Har

concerning responsibility, officials de

HOUSE BOATS GO (lO PIEClSS
Dorr B. Keasey One of Victims of
- " Swollen Waters.
Five houseboats have gone to pieces
In the harbor within tbe past 24 hours,
aa a result of the rapid rise In. the
Willamette river.
'"-Two of them, fine structures belong
ing to Dorr E. Keasey and Dr. K. L.
Benson, passed through the entire har
bor before finally bringing up and go
ing to pieces. The damage on both of
tse structures was heavy.
Dr. .Benson's houseboat 'came from
' Mllwaukle where it had been on the
beach.- It filled partially with water
before floating and as it came down
tho river presented only -Hhe . roof
for launches to make fast to in their
efforts to- have the structure. Captain
Mitchell with the launch Frolic took
hold of the structure in an effort to
. beech it but the roof was torn off by
tho strain and the structure ruined.
Tahoma May Get Out
"Word is being expected momentarily
that the ateamer Tahoma, Imprisoned
- In tbe ice at Cape Horn, has been re
leased. Rain had been falling steadily
at The Dalles and Hood River and the
Columbia is rising slightly. It is be-
. lieved that the Jam must break up
shortly and the steamer be released.
The steamer is out of fuel and a boat
will likely be dispatched there today
to stand by, aa she cannot help herself
when the break occurs. Otherwise the
boat Is in good snap and the crew
comfortable and well. .

THE HEARING IS RESUMED
Southern Pacific Seeks Permission
to Maintain New Orleans Line.
New York, Feb. 8. I. N. S. Th
hearing of the Southern Pacific rail
road for privileges under the Panama
act was resumed : before Special Ex
ajriiner Myron A. Patterson of the
interstate commerce commission Mon
day, The railroad seeks to retain con
trol Of the "Morgan line of steamships

leans and Galveston. It maintains
that the line is merely a water com
munication of its rail line from coast
to coast, making an unbroken trans
continental route.
R. S. Stubbs, general freight agent
of the Southern Pacific, was the only
witness. It wag sought to establish
through him that reconslgnments were
made at Galveston, allowing special
rates to nn mavda to Tuvnrflrt ah niwra.
The witness denied that this practice
was peculiar to the Morgan line but
is common with all steamship lines. He
denied that special rates were, made
on commodities. Mr. Stubbs declared
that consignments of freight by small
merchants was a common practice, but
would not admit that a few favored
firms only can participate in it.
This case was then adjourned pend
ing another hearing which will be
heard in' New Orleans.
The petition of the Southern Pa
cific company to retain control of the
Direct Navigation company's line of
barges between Galveston and Hous
ton was taken up. Cotton la the chief
commodity carried by this line. Only
the testimony of C. K. Dunlap, traffic
manager of tbe railroad was heard.
