BANDON RECORDER
BANDON, OREGON, FRIDAY, MAY 1 1914
VOLUME XXX
NUMBER 36
HUGH HOGAN
S WRECKED
POUTER HHOTIIERS HAVE FUR
THER BAD LUCK AT SIUSLAW.
IT IS STILL HOPED TO SAVE
THE VESSEL.
Florence, Or., April 30. Crossing
out from the Siuslaw with n cargo
of lumber, the schooner Hugh Hogan
in tow of the tug Rosco, was ground
ed on the south bench about 300 yard's
from the jetty about 3 o'clock Tues
day afternoon. There was a very
strong northwest wind. .
The Gardner life-saving crew ar
rived on tho scene about 9:30 Tues
day 'night and Wednesday morning
took off the wives of the captain and
second mate.
Several feet of water was reported
in the hold and the rudder and shoe
were goryj.
Tho Yaquina life-saving crew ar
rived Wednesday morning and they
were quite hopeful of saving the boat.
Capt. Hill and Second Mate Sim
ons were taking their wives to San
Francisco with them, and the two la
dies were the only passengors on the
boat. The otherB aboard were four
sailors, a cook and a first mate, be
sides Capt. Simons and Second Mate
Simons.
It is reported that the wreck was
caused because the tug Rosco was not
powerful .enough. .Capt. Bob Jones,
well known in Coos county, is master
of the Rosco. '
Tho Hugh Hogan was built on Coos
Bay in 1004 and is said to be owned
by Porter Bros., and the Tide Water
Mill Co. She was formerly engaged
in carrying lumber from tho Coquillc
river mills to San Francisco, but of
late has been going to the Siuslaw
instead.
Tho Hugh Hogan has a net ton
nage of 355, is ISO feet long, 38.8 ft.
in width and 9.8 feet depth of hold
and carries a crew of eight.
WILL OREGON WOMEN VOT
ERS FOLLOW ILLINOIS' LEAD?
Portland Journal: Nearly 1,000
saloons were voted out of existence
in tho recent elections in Illinois.
It was tho women of tho stato who
brought that result nbout. If the
ballot had been confined to men nlono
the outcome would have been far dif
ferent. Tho facts, as printed in Sun
day's Journal, show that approxi
mately CO per cent of the men voted
wet and 40 per cent dry. Of tho wo
man's vote, 04 per cent was dry and
36 wet. If tho same rule applies to
Oregon, and if men vote about as
they did on prohibition in 1910, this"
state stands a likely chance of being
captured by tho drys next November.
The majority against the prohibi
tion amendment in 1910 was 17,081.
If 04 percent of the woman's vote
should go in Oregon as it went in Il
linois, tho result of the balloting in
1010 might be reversed. In Illinois
women are not permittfd to vote on
all officers and their ballots aro kept
separate. The fact givers tho first
authentic record of women's real at
titude on tho prohibition issue. The
women cast 188,733 votes and tho men
243,104. The number of women who
voted wet Was 07,418, and of those
who voted dry 121,315. That is to
say 53,897 more women voted dry
than voted wet, or nearly two to one.
Of the men 144,925 voted wet and
98,179 voted dry. Tho wet major
ity among men was 40,740. Of 115
townships, 83 were voted dry by wo
men and 13 townships wero kept dry
by women. Tho preponderance of
dry votes among women throws un
interesting light on the Oregon situ
ation. I

UNDFR, PROPOSED LAW EV
ERY MAN A DISTILLER.
The " proposed national prohibition
law will enable every man to become
a distiller, according to its author,
Representative Hob son of Alabama.
Before the house judiciary commit
tee, Representative Hobson contend
ed that his resolution, directed
against the sale of liquor for "bev
erage purposes," would not interfere
with states' rights. Ho said that un
der the proposed amendment it would
be possible to manufacture liquor
"for use" but not "for sale." The
amendment ho said would not inter
fere with the "old drinker drinking"
but would prevent the "debauching
of youth." '
Mr. Hobson oxplnined that the pres
ent revenuo laws would be repealed
by his amendment, which would per
mit anyone to make whiskey for his
own use.
Just how permitting every indi
vidual to manufacture liquor for use
if not for Bale, nndvut the same time
sanction its manufacture and sale for
medicinal purposes, is going to pro
mote the cause of temperance is
hard for those outside the pale to
grusp it surely is dry logic and
worthy of a Hobson. Medford Mail

CIVIL WAR IN
COLORADO
STRIKING MINERS FIGHT BAT
TLBS WITH STATE MILITIA.
U. S. TROOPS ORDERED TO THE
SCENE OF HOSTILITIES.
Denver, Colo., Apr. 30. The coal
miners strike in Colorado has as
sumed the proportions of a civil war.
The hostilities which commenced in
tho southern part of the state, have
spread to all of the larger coal pro
ducing centers.
From Forbes in tho southern coal
fields the latest report is that another
disastrous battlo had been fought in
which seven men lost their lives.
Most of the mine buildings there are
in ashes and the mine defenders are
mising but believed to be hiding in a
nearby mine. An army of 300, strik
ers attacked the property and n pitch
ed battle ensued, lasting three hourd,
after which the strikers disappeared
in the hills. Three white men and
four Japanese, all defenders of the
mine, were killed nnd a negro guard
and a Japanese were wounded. Two
bodies were burned in the ruin3 of the
mine (buildings. Tho burned build
ings included the mine office, with the
United States postoffice, the tipple,'
engine house, boarding house, barn
and several homes of miners. With
the wOrnen and children in the mine
Supt. Nicliol and forty defenders
fought behind a barricade A ma
chine gun owned by tho company was
mounted on the hill north of camp
and swept the canyon until the gun
became jammed. While the firing
was at its hottest the strikers dashed
down the hill and set the buildings
oh fire'. Three' Wero ' killed before
they finally retreated.
Six troops of U. S. cavalry .from
Ft. Russell and tho second squadron
of cavalry from Ft. Leavenworth
have been ordered to the sceno to re
store ordor, and President Wilson hns
sent a proclamation calling on the
strikers, militia and nil other disturb
ers to lay down their arms and go
home.
John D. Rockefeller, tho principal
owner in tho coal companies concern
ed in the strife, when asked by Pres
ident Wilson to arbitrate the strike
differences, refused positively to take
any steps further than were now be
ing taken. Socialists, among whom
was Upton Sinclair, tho author, who
made a demonstration before the
Standard Oil offices in New York,
when Rockefeller's refusal became
known, wero arrested.

Coos Bay News: Frank W.
Smith, superintendent of the Coos
river and Coquillc hntcheries is now
feeding about 4,500,000 salmon fry
at the South Coos river hatchery, and
about 2,000,000 at tho hatchery on
the Upper Coquille. Comparatively
few stcelhcad eggs have been taken
at the Coquillo hatchory this season,
und none on Coos river. Stcclhcads
ascend tho rivers above tidewater
during freshets, and at such times
the fish rack at Coos river is under
water which permits tho fish to pass
over the rack and continue their jour
ney to their spawning grounds att he
hefldvntors.. It was reported -that;
siccincaus wero very numerous nt me

DIPLOMATS MAY SETTLE
TROUBLE WITH MEXICO.
-Washington, D. C, April 30. Un
enfirmed reports hero are to the of
fect that a truce is to bo called in the
Mexican trouble, nnd an adjustment
will be attempted by a meditation
board composed of three South Am
merienn diplomats. Such n . move,
however, is unlikely to better condl
tions is tho opinion of local diplomats,
A report from Berlin says that the
mediators have asked European pow
ers to use their influence to have the
United States eliminate tho require
ment that "Huerto must go." It is
also thought by thoso closo in touch
with tho situation that Iluerta is
playing a crafty game to secure time
to perfect n big Mexican allinnce.
Thoso who know tho Mexican rulei
best, put no confidence in his attitude,
and say tho only solution of tho sit
uation is the complete elimination tof
Huetar and his immediate followers.
The White House officials have
been unusually reticient for several
days, and this, added to tho general
pessimistic viow in Washington is
taken to mean that the chances of
settling tho trouble without furher
bloodshed is exremely improbable.
It is also feared that tho first ag
gressive step taken by this country
may pieipituto a general massacre
of Americans and Europeans in the
interior of Mexico.
Tho establishment of tho new civ
il government by Admiral Fletcher
was completed Wednseday at Vera
Cruz. The town has already taken
on n clearer aspect. Better sanitary
conditions have been brought about
nnd business generally has been re
sumed.

TOWNSHIP
LINE ROAD
BOND ISSUE TO BE VOTED UPON
MAY 15TH IS FOR NEW SUR
VEY AND NOT FOR THE OLD
ROAD.
A number f vters have asked The
Recorder whether tho Bnndon-Lnng-lois
share of the money to be voted
at tho coining road election was to be
used on the old road or on the Town
ship line road, providing the bond is
sue carried.
The Recorder this morning called
up the county clerk's office and was in
formed by Mr. Watson that tho mon
ey is to be used oti tho the now sur
vey, which of course menus the Town
ship lino road. Mr. Watson looked it
up on the maps on file in the clerk's
office and tho description as printed
on tho notices tallies with the map of
the 'lownship lino survey. This will
relieve the doubt in the minds of
thoso who wero laboring under the
misapprehension that the money
wns to be used on the old road.
U. S. FLAG IS TWICE
UNFURLED IN MEXICO.
Vera Cruz, April 30. History was
repeated yesterday afternoon in the
impressive ceremony of raising the
Stars and Stripes over Vera Cruz on
tho same spot whero in 1847 Geperal
Winfield Scott brought to the breezo
the American colors, ns he landed to
begin his march at the head of the
Amoriaintroops.to Mexico City.
The hoisting of the flag was car-"
ried out with the full naval ceremony
in the presence of Rear-Admiral Bad
cjer, commander-in-chief of the At
lantic fleet, Rear Admiral Fletcher,
md the plucky 1200 men from Fletch
ar's ships, who took the city from tho
Mexicans April 21.
As n mark of special distinction for
bravery shown in action, Chief Quar
termaster JefTs, of the battleship Flor
da, made the big American standard
fast to the halyards on the staff erect
ed over the Terminal Hotel.
The flag was hauled up to the
strains of the "Star Spangle'd Ban
ner" played by the bands of the Flor
ida and Utah, t,o the thunder of the
-saluting guns from the Minnesota in
the inner harbor and tho half 'hystcr
cal cheering of tho refugees who re
ivmtly escaped from Mexico City.
As the signal wns given by Ensign
McDonnell, standing almost on the
ipot where as chief signal officer on
tho day of landing four of his men
vero shot down ut his side, he and
I he other members of the gallant
quartette hauled away on the halyards
'.ho blue jackets snapped their rifles
.o present arms, the Admirals stood
it salute and the baud broke into the
stirring strains of the American Nn
lionnl hymn.
Just ns the big banner broke out
and wns" caught and extended bythe
full sweep of the afternoon breeze
tliu first flush nnd roar came from the
saluting bridge of tho Minnesota.
The thunderous report sent a thrill
through tho men standing nb atten
tion and facing tho flag, for only five
days before similar reports meant
that death-dealing shells wero being
hurled into tho naval academy while
tho whole city was rattling under tho
rifio lire of tho Americans and Mexi
cans. During tho full period of 21 guns
salute tho battalions stood at present
urms and tho Admirals witli tho right
