SECRETARY MELLON TO MODIFY REGULATIONS ON SEIZURE OF SHIPS WASHINGTON, Oct. 12. t V.) Secretary Mellon said he would issue remilut ions this afternoon modifying the seizure clause of the DaiiRhertv rulitiK regarding vessels. Mellon said liquor would be seized aboard foreign and American ships, but not the ships themselves. The regulations to be issued todav will be supplemented later by more detailed remilatlons. The attorney Renerals recent ruling will be worked out. Todays notice will go to all I'nited States officers, "who may be able to assist in enforce ment." It Is probable that on the At lantic the final day that liquor stocked shins may lawfully enter American 'Waters will bo about November first. The dead lino in the Pacific will prob ably fall about November fifteenth. From then on no vessel will have any excuse to carry liquor excejtt in the medicine chests.

The vessels near l.y are prepared to rush to the rescue. A destroyer squadron at 8nn Pedro l.indi d with supplies Is to sail.

Just , before, the Inst "goodbye" the radio operator, holding his post to the last snld the flames were licking about him. Ho closed his set, and shore stations heard no more. Jt is believed that every one escaped Uto floatin? Inferno. The. vessel known as the "Huron" during the war, was once a flermnn liner. Conflicting messages were received Indicating the positions of vessels to aid the passengers. Borne believed ships mlKht sight the lifeboats today, hut later radios snld the transport Thoniss, the nearest vessel, would be unable to reach the scene before to. i morrow afternoon. "All Iiamls Gone" W. P. Hell, chief radio operator, sent the lust message "All hands rone" nt ten twelve. This meant that Captain Lester, first officer, chief en gineer and radio operator, T'ho were the Inst to remain aboard the ship, were driven from the ship at that time. The vessel was apparently left to the fury of the flames. Officials of the company here said there were prohnbly a hundred passengers aboard. A small fruit cargo was car ried. Ptissensers and crew will drift In Ihe life boats until vessels In the vicinity are able to pick them up or a destroyer crew Is rushed from Ssn Pedro to their assist nance. No word was received as to the condition of the passengers, so It Is assumed all escap ed the fire without Injury. Ordinary supplies always kept aboard lifeboats are sufficient to supply the refugees until help arrives. The steamer was returning from her maiden voyage to the Hawaiian Islands, having formerly been enraged in South American trade.
