of Lives.

men were lost yesterday as a result
ot the wreckof the steamship C. A.
Smith, which went on the rocks In
side thenorth jetty of Coos Bay when
she became disabled by being hit by
breakers while attempting to leave
the harbor. -
The missing: H. Borabl, third
mate; A. Leland, wireless operator; T.
Chalmers, chief engineer; A. Rajalin,
seaman; C. Sampson, seaman; H. An
derson, oiler; A. Granfelt, oiler.
In addition to these members of the
vessel's crew, who were drowned
when a lifeboat was swamped yester
day, C. N. Prescott, deck hand of the
tug Oregon was washed away yester
day while engaged in rescue work.
Seven men who remained with the
wreck oveYnlght wero landed this
morning when they launched a life
boat and were taken aboard the tug
Oregon. They were Captain T. Blom
burg, First Mate M.A. Sumlell; Sec
, oud Mate G. Ecklund; Third Assistant

Bled to Save Cripple
Heroism on the part of members of
the crew of the C. A. Smith In their
efforts to save A. Iceland, crippled
wireless operator, cauped the Ioms of
at least some of the men, according
to survivors, who have been brought
Mo Marshfield. Sunday when the
coastguard lifeboat wns nt the wreck,
It was not thoroughly under nnnd
why all the crew did not take advan
tage of the opportunity and leave at
once.
Today it developed that the men
did not want to go until the wireless
boy had been saved. Leland was only
twenty years old and Is the son of :i
college professor at Berkeley. He
wore artificial feet and wns not ublo
to take care of himself.
The survivors said today that they
all wanted to see the hoy tuken off
first. They intended to get a line
around him and lower hlin to the
roast guard' lifeboat. Some realized
that this would take some minutes
and went back to their cabins to get
some of their possessions. The efforts
to save Leland caused the delay which
prevented all of the men leaving with
the coast guard. -
When Cnptain Blomberg was taken
aboard the tug Oregon this morning
with other survivors who hud passed
the night on the wreck he fell into
ih nrm of William Denman, chair
man of the board of directors of the
Coos Bay Lumber company who was
on the tug.
vThe captain wept, expressing grief
for the loss of nine of his men.
The lifeboat was lowered from the
wreck this morning at a fortunate
time for the heavy seas had subsided
for a time and after the boat was
launched the survivors were taken
aboard the tug. the seas again became
rough. .

lots was presented by Judge F.
4 M. McKInley at a Joint meeting
of University of Michigan and

or's tax, based on the same prln-
ciplo as tho poll tax with a pro-
vision that 'thore shall be levied,

Dr. Leighton Parks of St. Bar
tholomew's Challenges Doc
trine of Virgin Birth and
Welcomes Trial On Charge
of Heresy.
NEW YORK, Doc. 17. An issue
has been raised between the modern
ist and fumlanjentallst .factions of tho
J'roteHlant Episcopal church which
some churchmen fear will develop
into one of tho greatest theological
controversies of recent years.
' Tho storm center is. tho Rev. Leo
W. Heaton, rector of Trinity church,
Fort Worth, Texas, who will bo tried
for heresy soon after January 1 for
his denial of the virgin birth as a
physical fact.
The Rev. Stuart Tyson, Vice presi
dent of the Churchmen's union lias
characterized the development as the
most Important matter in tho genera
tion, lie quotes Ulshop Moore of
Texas as considering it the beginning
of a concerted movement to cleanse
the church of modernism. K
Supporters of tho Rev. Mr. Heaton
say the modernists will not stop at
defense but will push a vigorous counter-attack
to tho next general conven
tion of the church. Organization of a
defense committee and subscriptions
of a defense, fund have been under
taken. Dr. Leighton Parks, rector, of St.
Bartholomew's church, during ser
vices at his church yesterduy, doffed
surplice and stole, , symbols of his
priesthood and announced his rejec
tion of the recent pastoral letter of
the Episcopal house of bibhups, which
ndjured the ministry to-stuud behind
"the Catholic traditions" of the
church and the "Nicene creed." He
challenged both the doctrines of the
virgin birth nnd the bodily resurrec
tion and welcomed a trial for heresy.
The Rev. Dr. Percy Stick ncy Grant,
rector of the Church of the Ascension,
. who last winter engaged In a contro
versy with Bishop Manning, said In
his sermon yesterday:
' "There are many In the church.
English and American, who still beT
lieve In an nuthorlty almost papal nnd
.wish practically to return to medieval
jways. They have little sympathy with
Protestantism."
I The5 Rev. Dr. Norman Guthrie ex
I plained to churchgowers at St. Marks
i that his critics have misunderstood
' the symbolic Greek dances which par
' ish girls .have given .at church festi
vals and which have led Bishop Man
ning to admonish Dr. Guthrie.
NEW YORK. Announcement wns

time Chicago cabaret performer, are,
In the Douglas county jail awaiting
arraignment on a charge of arson in
the case of the man and of being an
accomplice in the case of the girl.
Dorothy is suffering from Incipient

love for each other.

ROASTED, FACTS
PORTLAND, Ore, Dec. 17. Recent
statements of William G. McAdoo,
former director general of railroads
made In a Loa Angeles address were
challenged by George G. Bonn! man,
socrntary of the western rnllways com
mittee on public relations In an ad
dress before the chamber of com
merce hero today.
"I challenge Mr. McAdoo io show
wherein the transportation act of
1920 restored every uneconomical and
wasteful practice which federal con
trol had abolished," said Roardman.
"Section 15-A of tho transportation
act specifically provides for the hon
est, efficlfint and economical opera
tion of tho roads, and the inter-state
commerce commission, in fixing the
rato of Talr return, Is required to sat
isfy Itself that the roads have been
honestly, efficiently and economically
managed.
"Moreover, tho inter state commerce
commission In a recent report said
that transportation history during the
current year had been marked by
'unequalled performance' of railroad
service. It Is unfortunate to say the
least that any man who has held ex
ceptionally responsible positions In the
service of the people should make,
statement regarding the roads and
tholr management which even a casual
examination of the railroadB would
have shown him to be not supported
by the facts."
