speak of them as belnflr rljtht and left

Price is the man who stands between

secretary of the treasury, better
through Price than If he wasn't there:
But while Price Is in hls place which
he always nd continually is Mr.' Mc

away the cranks and fanatics so gently

railroad administration, a, more general
distribution of Industry, transshipment
and commerce than was ever possible
under private railroad operation and the
conditions that have forced congestion at
certain points. - He promised that the
railroad administration would do every
thing In Its power to use the facilities
of the Columbia river and to add to our
prosperity. He said that we had no
problem to solve In gaining the railroad
administration's support for our ambi

Washington, July. 20. (U. P.) Ger
man mines probably caused the end of
the United States cruiser San Diero off
Fire Island light Friday morning, -in
which disaster three men are now known
positively to have perished.
One thousand one hundred and eighty
three survivors of the San Diego have
been landed at an Atlantic port. Rear
Admiral Palmer, acting secretary of the
navy, announced today.
Announcement of the location and
destruction of five or six mines in the
vicinity of the light last night was fol
lowed later in the day by the revela
tion that the mines were not American,
but German. .
Whether they were strewn by the
first raiders who visited the American
coast or have been scattered more re
cently is a matter upon which authori
ties could only guess.
Cluster of SHaes Located -
However, the fact that a bunch of
powerful mines had been located, seemed
to dispose of the torpedoing theory, al
though there was still .some question as
towhy the explosioA occurred abaft the
beam on the port side In case a mine
were reported. Mines generally get a
ship forward.
Captain Christy, commander of the
vessel, who heroically stuck with the
ship to the last, reported his belief that
submarine waa responsible. . How
ever, simultaneously mere came oiner
information of a conflicting nature,
which befogged the situation and led The
navy to withhold Judgment, officially, as
to the cause.
It was pointed cut there was no peri
scope seen, no wake of a torpedo and
that ' no submarine was sighted, even
though there was other prey standing by
for several hours after the cruiser sank.
Closing Scenes Beveal Bravery
Tike closing scenes of the San Diego's
service stand out as another romance of
the seas, another tribute to American
coolness and bravery. Men went to
their stations as to drill. The captain
and his executive officer were the last
to quit,' Christy Jumping overboard
from .the keel when the waters were
about to suck Als ship under.
Men In lifeboats cheered. Someone
broke out the Stans and Stripes and the
crew, started singing "The Star Spangled
Banner."
' Those known to have perished are
Thomas sE. Davis, engineman. Canton,
Ohio': . Fraxlr O. Thomas, machinists'
mate, Charleston, W. Va., and James F,
Rochett,- engineman. Blue Lake, Cal.
- The explosion occurred In the aft -in
the englnereom and this probably ac
counts for 'the death of yiree. A few
more. men will probably- be listed as
dead later, but the navy is checking' as
fast as possible and notifying the fam
ilies of survivors. i
