Terrible Tragedy Enacted In Sight of Shore Crew Takes to Rigging Only to no Hurled Into Angry Sea Father Watches His Son Lashed to Mast Appeal for Help Without Being Ablc to IteidT Aid Lire P.oats Are Helpless in Wild Surf Attempts to Shoot IJnc to Wreck Fall One Man Washed Ashoro Alive Four Still Cling to Mast. Marshfleld, Ore.. Jan. 13. Lashed to the mainmast of the foundered steamer Czarina are four men, the last but one of the 26 aboard the vessel,-when she left Coos Bay for San Francisco yesterday. The men were Righted at daylight this morning and are believed to be beyond reach of llfesavers, Whether they are alive Is a question after their terrible ex perience of the night. The steam schooner Nan Smith arrived from San Francisco today outside the bar and Is trying to get close to the stranded vessel, but It is doubtful whether she wlll be able to render as sistance. The men lashed to the mast are: Captain Dugan. Harold Mills, Second Mate McNIchojft and Purser Hedges. It Is thought Hedges succumbed to tho zero weather but that the other men are still alive. Captain Olson of the Nan Smith, which has gone to the rescue of the Imperiled men, is known far and wide for his brnvery and cour age In going to the rescue of strand ed vessels. Seafaring men believe that if the men could possibly b cav ed that o:son will leave nothing un done to bring the rescue about At midnight it was known that several men were lashed to the main mast be cause they ma Jo lights Indicating they were still alive. However, It was not believed that they will survive the night" as it was thought that the heavy sea would wash them from the mast. They could be seen plainly this morning. Watcher Patrol Beach. LMSl ntgni lng nrai-n wui iui- ed by watchers In the hope that they might be of some assistance In recov ering the bodies as they came ashoro and In encouraging the men who might still bo aboard. The only body washing nahore was In a frightful condition. Tho entrails of the man were found to be fastened to a big bolt which had evidently dlsembowl ed the unfortunato man. It was learned definitely this af ternoon that 25 men were aboard the steamer when she grounded on the spit bar. and of this number only one has been rescued. He was First As sistant Engineer Harry Kentzel. Broken by Heavy Seas. The steamer left port during a gale. Tremendous seas were breaking out side the bar and heavy seas wero washing over It as the Czarina at tempted to pass out Into the ocean. Suddenly those on shore who had gathered to watch the departure of the boat were startled to see tho Czarina sweeping toward the north spit. Her engines seemed to have be come disabled. The heavy seas seem ed almost to envelope the steamer and he drifted rapidly onto the spit at a point nbout a mile above the Jetty. shin IHmnds Heavily. There was no way to reach the dis abled vessel and she pounded heavily swaying from side to side with' great waves breaking over her. It was too rough for tug boats to approach her and those on shore were compelled to stand Idlv by, unable .to succor the doomed crew nnei u.e u.. v"" Harold Mills, son or C. J. wins, ine steamship agent of the Southern Pa cific company at Marshfield. Captain Duggan f the Czarina made an effort to stop tho onward sweep of the vessel toward the rocks. He dropped anchor but It would not hold and she was soon grounded. The members of the crew crowded into the rigging and made frantic gestures of appeal, but the fates were against them and from time to time one or more of the men were washed over board to their death. Cannot Launch Life liont. The crew rrom me me oiuuuu launched their boat but were unable to reach the wrecked vessel. They made effort after effort to fire a life line acress the vessel from the shore. In this they were unsuccessful. The distance was too great. As darkness closed In, there were but few to be seen on board the wrecked vessel, .which heavily laden with coal as she waa, ha(l settled far In to the water and the waves were washing over her gteayiy. - - Father Watches Son Die A pitiful incident In connection with the loss of the Cxarlna was the pres ence of C. J. Mills, father of Harold Mills, on the beach. Early appraised of the accident to the Czarina the father rnn to the beach, only to see the vessel drift onto the rocks with his son aboard. The stricken father paced anxiously up and down the beach scanning the water and trying to devise some way of reaching his sen, but he soon realized that any effort to reach the vessel by means of tugs or life boats would be futile and he had to content himself In watch ing tho efforts of the life saving crew to fire a line across the doomed ves sel. Finally he had to give up all hope. Those Who Perished. Those on board the lllfatcd vessel were: Harold Mills, 20 years old, son of C. J. Mills, general manager of local steamship company operating Czarina, enroute back to i niversuy or California after spending a short va rntlon with his narents here. He was the only passenger known to . bo on board. AIL the rest were from San Francisco. C. J. Duggan, captain; James Hughes, first officer; J. Mo. Nicholas, second officer; M.

This morning only four were visible, the other two having been washed from their positions. Two hundred Coos Bay watchers stood helplessly on the beach and saw the men loosen their hold upon the rigging and gradually give up their lives to the angry sea. Never before In the history of Coos Bay has there been such a toll of life In a shipwreck. The Czarina left Coos Bay shortly before 2 o'clock yes terday afternoon for San Francisco. On the bar she encountered terrific seas and those who watched the vessel said she encountered 63 seas before cettlng out. The engines were un able to fight such a battle with the ocean and the big vessel was barely able to et around the end of tne Jetty. She fought her way north un tlll necessary to pull the fires out from under her engines, then anchor was dropped In the still water outside the breakers, but soon a gale carried the vessel inside. The anchor, how ever held her from coming close enough to be reached. Several lines were shot at the ; steamer but sue was too mr eUi ' i,o rented. The surf was too heavy for the lifeboats to live In. but an at tempt was made to launch a surf boat. Like a mere shell the boat was thrown back on the beach and Cap tain Boyee of the lifesaving crew who wnlflnir In deen water, was hurled . ,. AII ho of 8avlnK tho Czarina from ashore was tnen .t Minsn on the bank were nmnntinH to watch the men on the ..ui .hoir .lo.-ith. Darkness clos- od over tho awful sight, when appar- entlv only sx of the crew were still left hanging helplessly to the torn rigging of the rapidly foundering steamer. When the. stays on one side of the mast broke the victims were clinirinir to the rope, but flf- terwnrd dropped one by one Into the water. Another time a member of the crew ventured to the deck and w,i washed overboard. Another who was following him met the same fate. The doomed men clung to anything that would hold them above the wa- ter, only In the end to be dashed to death by the waves. MRS. .IOHNSON IS IV J.VIL UNTIL APRIL TERM Vancouver. Wash., Jan II.

CITY PHYSICIAN M'FAUL WILL IKE IAR ON CONTAGIOUS DISEASES OF ALL KINDS Rucked up by other members of the city administration and by fellow physicians, Dr. D, J. McFaul, city health officer, has declared war on the contagious diseases that are now prevalent here. Henceforth all con tagious diseases, ranging from chick en pox to smollpox, must be reported to his office, the cases will then be quarantined and the quarantines will be enforced. Those who do not obey the law regarding quarantines, whrther patient or physician, will be required to explain why before the reeorder's court At this time there are a number of eases of smallpox here as In the other towns of eastern Oregon. Thus far the disease has been of a mild form and this very fact has led to laxity officer. The attending physician can- j antines are going to be closely n wlth reference to quarantines. But not raise n quarantine when he de- i forced. RIVER RENDERS MANY PEOPLE HOMELESS. Lakevlew, Ore., Jan. 13.

GENERAL REJOICING OVER BREAK IN COLD SPEIJ, Snow Is Melting Under Warm Winds Stockmen Are Particularly Hap py Trains Have Been Running Ijite. The long-looked-for Chinook stems to have arrived In Umatilla county, though there is some question among local residents as to the sincerity of the wind which is removing the enow so slowly. There are two currents of air, however, an upper and a lower, and according to reports received from the hill sections the super current is ! decidedly warm and is the one which j is responsible for the melting snow. The upper current is from the south. while the lower is coming down the river fr'jm the mountains and seems to have been warmed sufficiently to melt the snow by its contact with the upper current. The rejoicing over the chances for the breaking up of the severe weather which has prevailed with more or less persistency for several weeks seems to be general. The stockmen are espe cially Jubilant for many of them are paying out large sums of money dally for hay and the prices were soaring 'Mm r-arti day that the- now- reroaU- i ft, i (in tnt eronnil. growers of grain are indiffer- though some of .

The chinook wind was preceeded in many parts of Oregon by a wind that was far from the chinook variety. According to the reports of Incom ing passengers from both the west and c.::t. ;!. r:.lr.!! in both directions were delayed on account of the snow, those from Portland being more than six hours late. The principal trouble on the west end. was below the Dalles wl-.ilc the greatest amount of drifting snow to the east was encoun tered in the Grande Ronde valley and over near Haines. Snow plows were kept at work continuously but in spite of this facf, two engines were df railed. With the disappearance of the snow it is hoped that the trains will be able to make better time than they have been able to make during the past seven weeks.

I At a meeting of the local physicians! held several days ago Dr. McFaul asked his fellow practitioners to go j back to the old system of reporting j all contoglous diseases. The physi-; clans agreed to do so, as they are re- , quired by law to take such action. As j a result all contagious diseases.

CURTISS TRAVELS COURSE AT A GREAT SPEED I'cHrtexs Frenchman Breaks All Keo ords for Altitude Sails Over Four Thousand Feet Above Astonished Crowd Curtiss Outdoes Paulhan In Speed Contest Frenchman Glv en $500 Cup for Most Notable Per formance or Day. Aviation Camp, Los Angeles, Jan. 13. Louis Paulhan, the French aviator, broke all official and unoffi cial records for altitude yesterday in a Farman biplane. It is estimated that he rose to a height of 4148 feet. . Louis Paulhan exceeded Hubert Latham's record made at Mourmelon, B'rance, December 1, 1909, by at least 1000 feet. Latham's record waa given at between 1600 and 1800 feet. The Instrument on Paulhan's machine made his greatest height, 4600 feet. The time in air was '50 minutes 46 1-B seconds. The time of descent was 7 minutes, 30 seconds. Cortlandt Field Bishop announced -late last night that the judges of the aviation events had finally calculated the height of Paulhan's flight at 4.14 feet. These figures are official but subject to change when the ealeula tlons are corrected. Paulhan's aneroid barometer show ed his highest altitude as 4600 feet, and the judges at first figured close to 5000 feet, but after extensive cal culations from the results of triangu lations and the observations taken with the trigonometer, this was re duced to 4146 feet. Paulhan Given Cup. Louis Paulhan, the French aviator who shattered all records for high flying was presented with a silver cup valued at 1500 .last night by Mayor Grant Conrad of San Diego, on behalf of that city. It was San Diego day at the aviation grounds and the trophy waa given Paulhan for having given he most notable performance of the day. More than 1000 San Diego peo ple witnessed the presentation in th lobby of Paulhan's hotel. The French . air navigator made a speech of accept ance, which was translated by Cort landt Field Biihop, president of the Aero Club of America. The presenta tion was followed by an Invitation to Paulhan to visit San Diego as the guest of the city. Paulhan was the idol of the mob last night. He made his great record shortly after losing the speed record of the course to Glenn H. Curtiss. The Frenchman was constantly In . the limelight all the afternoon. Us ing an engine Just arrived from Paris, he circled the course again and again, skidding, dipping and swinging cor ners in daring fashion. I The sun was low over the sea and the shadows had begun to gather when he made his decision to go higher in the nlr than any mun in a heavier than air machine ever had been before. The wind barely stirred the feath ers in the hats of the women iu the crowded grandstand. "I never saw such perfect weather for aviation."' said Cortland F.

Not only must physicians report all contagious diseases, according to Dr. McFaul. but the obligation is equally binding upon individuals. In some cases parties have the smallpox or other troubles In such a mild form that physicians are not called in." These cases must be reported to the city physician's office or prosecutions will follow. This is the only way to " stamp out the disease,' In the view of Dr. McFaul. t t.r. , ( Ing In the smadpox situation, says Dr. , McFaul. Personally he knows of but j two families having the disease.
