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. Tllamer,
third officer; P.. F. Hodges, purser; r.

Perish One by One.
Iist night, watchers say, six men
were seen lashed to the mast. 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

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.

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

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

other severe cold spell and therefore
little need of the protecting blanket
of snow.
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.

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

Paulhan to visit San Diego as the

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 .

Not only must physicians report all

binding upon individuals. In some
cases parties have the smallpox or
