"The captain of the Dodd then or dered the vessel full speed astern la the hope that the San, Juan would maintain its speed and an accident be averted. "The regular signals were giv en by the Dodd as to the nature of its maneuver. For some rea son the San Juan adopted the same maneuver, and thereby de feated the maneuver of the Dodd." Master ot San Juan Go Down With Ship Captain Adolph F. Asplang. master ot the San Joan in the ah- sence of her regular commander, now on vacation, went down with his ship. R. Papenfuss, third of ficer of the San Juan, gave no due of the cause of the wreck, but teld how the 47-year old pas senger ship went down within five minutes: fVe didn't have a chance.

I TELL EXPERIENCES (Continued front Page 1.) dent that a boy passenger of the San Juan and one of the men were able to step from the deck to the Dodd. The San Juan sank rapid ly. Boats of the Dodd were lower ed rapidly and with assistance of two hours of clear weather, a large number of passengers taken aboard." Othe eye witness stories fol low: Joan uarcia, passenger 1 was asleep in my berth at the time of the wreck. I heard the crash and grapped a life preserver and Jump ed Into a lifeboat. It tipped over, and I came up again and drifted round in the water for an hour. 1 was picked up by the Dodd crew. Houghton Jumps Into Water at Midnight George H. Houghton I Jump? ed'into the water at 12 o'clock as my watch stopped at that time. I heard three whistles, .and then I vent on deck, people were strug gling on the lower floor. I grabbed a life preserver, and took my time dressing, because I thouught they would launch life boats and we wouldn't go down at once. I began to get a little nerv ous when the boat turned on end and rushed down. I gave a run for the side and dove over. Final ly a boat picked me up, after what eemed an age. It was hell. 8. Karansky I was pretty near ly knocked out of my berth. I looked around to see what was do lag, and women were running around in nightgowns, crying tor life preservers and they couldn't get any. I saw all the people lined up trying to get Into the Dodd. But It was too far away. On woman ran around shouting "take this baby first.- I Jumped over Into the Dodd and landed oa my face, and they took care of me. Then J saw people screaming and aw the San Juan go down like it was lead. Chief Ofricer Tell Steward to Jump George Haines steward The thief officer stayed on until the last thing.

My partner came on deck and he went to port and I to starboard. The water was rushing up over the stern, and came right by the saloon door. I made a rush for the side, and dived over. I guess was in the water an honr and half. I saw women crying. It was terrible, shrieks and yelling for boats to come, people clinging to boxes. I beld on to a large tool box until rescued. A.

I went to the boats to stand by. and was shoved off.

Following renewed activity of the secret orders after they bad been banned from the school, pledge has been required ot each high scbtol student the last two years that the slgnee will follow the way Jot the state law in this matter. That pledge will be re quired of students again this year Since the pledge was put Into eitect, no. student has been ex pelled from high school for con nection i with an under-cover group; but that does not mean that students and faculty assert that such bodies do not exist. In fact, nearly a half dozen high school sororities and fraternities were making merry with year-end banquets as school drew to a close last June, although, of course, not under the banned name. How ever, no group openly admitted as belonging to the high school ex tra-curricular activities was in eluded in these banquets and din ner parties, albeit those in at tendance were Salem high school students and graduates. Whether the meeting last night was a last fling in previous to re form to comply with what a num ber of observers believe will be more stringent compliance with the anti-frat law, or whether it was a deliberate defiance or indif ference may be watched with in terest as school gets under way.

With a gold pen somewhat less formid able than that with which the Kellogg pact was signed in Paris. the names of the delegates were appended to the agreements reach ed her on . evacuation o f the Rhineland and on distribution of the Young plan annuities. The Young plan itself will be formally approved by the dele gates in a plenary session tomor row which will mark the end of the work so often endangered since the conference began on August 6. Mr. Snowden again was the principal actor today, finding wnat he said were discrepancies in the texts of certain documents. For a time the British chancellor stubbornly refused to affix his sig nature and threatened to keep the conference going until Monday. Among the documents which went into the records of the con ference were letters exchanged with the German government by the powers occupying the Rhine land. They dealt with evacuation of the Rhineland, which must be gin for the second tone during the month of September and be completed within three months. The Eecond zone is the Coblenz Bridgehead formerly occupied by the American army on the Rhine. For the third zone at the main, Bridgehead, which under t h e treaty of Versailles was to have been evacuated in 1935. the de parture of the foreign troops must begin immediately after ratifica tion of the Young plan and is to b finished before the end ot June, 1930.

China replied that while she was willing to negotiate she could not agree to reinstatement et officials whom she accused of working against the security of the nationalist government. Preliminary conversations un dertaken near the Siberian-Man-churian border tabled to settle this point. Meanwhile the armies of both countries massed on the frontiers and there were well sub stantiated reports of several clash es involving loss of life. Rumors that the Chinese and Soviet governments were attempt ing to come to an agreement in their dispute over the Chinese eastern railway In Manchuria had been current for a week. It was reported they were begun by the representatives of the two govern ments in Berlin. The f act that the German diplomatic corps has been looking out for Russian interests in China sinee the break lent sup port to this phase of the rumor but both Russian .a n d Chinese sources made repeated denials. The Chinese legation la Berlin announced today receipt et a mes sage from Nanking authorizing it to deny it had been notified that Russia was ready to discuss set tlement on condition that a So viet citizen be appointed general manager of the railroad.
