the fishing bnut Amoco which Foun
dered three-nuurtoia of a mile olT
sliore yesterday, were officially re
ported missing today. The police
and sheriff's officers, after check
ing various reports, announced the
official list. The hodies of three
victims, recovered last night, are
all that have been found.
The 15 missing are in addition to
the litinwn dead, making a possible
casualty list of IS holiday excur
sionists. .
'Yvm const guard boats and two;
ot'Jpr boats circled the site of the
disaster today. Ofl'iclalH repurted,
however, they did not expect the
hodies of other victims to come
ashore for possibly days. A great
bed of kelp, they explained, be
tween the site of the ship's foun
doling and the shore probably holds
some of the bodies in Its tenacious
grip.
Hit by Wave
The Ameco, a 45-foot boat, was
capsized by a huge wave which
struck it broadside as it headed
for shore in a squall. Captain Wil
liam A. Llghtfoot and some sur
vivors said that the rush of pas
sengers to the lee side to avoid
wind-flung spray was partly respon
sible for the disaster.
The police official count of res
cued survivors stood at 48 persons.
With the three dead and 15 listed
as misBlng, they set C8 as the num
ber believed to have been on board,

the craft, was quoted by investi
gators as having admitted there

"The plan for routing tourists,"

one route to the exclusion of an
other, and I am sorry anyone would
get tUut idea. What we would do
under the plan, approved by many

The shooting came as a climax to
an all-night reign of terror when
several attempts were made by
hundreds of men and boys to gain
entrance to the Jail after the door
was battered down with rams.
Guards Quell Mob
Local national guardsmen par
tially quelled the mob spirit In the
night by setting up machine guns
and threatening to "fire at the
limbs" of persons who attempted
to approach the building.
Tear gas also was used against
the rioters by the guardsmen, who
wore said to have fired their rifles
and machine guns Into the air.
The negro was taken to the
morgue soon after the shooting was
discovered.
Three members of the mob of
hundreds of boys and men who at
tempted to take the negro from
Jail throughout the night to lynch
him were under arrest today In
connection with the disorders, -filx

citizens were injured, a few seri

Through the heroism of Lieut

who went alone into the mob around

averted.

MKVKIILY IIIXLS, Cal, May
Just been down to soldiers'
home, nt Snwtelle. Flags fly
iti', nnd old men and yomiK
miit'cliinn. It was quite a day
with them. We are gettintr
everything ho well organized,
Unit everybody that lias done
something for ns, why we very
liberally allow them a day,
free room and board nnd day's
speeches a year. Ain't hardly
all we promised 'cm at re
cruiting time, but they arb
good sports nnd take it good
naturedly, and keep on speak
ing to us. They just got time
to sit and read our minds.
They must just pity us, they
know we will have the same
old "bologna" to hand out to
the next bunch, to keep our in
vestments intact. Although wn
don't call it investments, "wn
tell them ijj's Democracy.") , v
