MANY LOSE THEIR LIVES
WHEN THE ALASKA SINKS
Steamer Alaska Went Down in
Fifteen Minutes; She
Struck a Rock Reef
Forty-eight persons, 36 passengers
and 12 of the crew were lost Saturday
night when the steamer Alska of the
San Francisco and Portland Steam
ship company, southbound from Port
land, Oregon, to San Francisco, sank
30 minutes after crashing into the
rocks of Blunt's reef, 40 miles south
of Eureka, Calif.
The survivors, numbering 16G per
sons, were taken to Eureka Sunday
by th rescue ship Anyox, the first ves
sel to reach the scene of the wreck in
response to the Alaska's radio sig
nals. The Alaska was bound from Port
land, Oregon, to San Francisco.
A dense fog concealed the treacher
ous rocks off the Blunt's reef, which
projects far into the ocean, when the
Alaska crashed at 9:40 o'clock. With
in 20 minutes, the crippled steamer
listed, turned and sank to within four
feet of the tips of the masts.
The passengers were placed in life
boats, but one overturned as it was
lowered into the water. ' t' '
Of the 12 bodies recovered four
have been identified as passengers and
eight officers and crew. y

Unanimous agreement on Armis
tice Day, November 11, for the open
ing of the disarmament conference
was reached yesterday in the inform
al negotiations among the powers
that are to be represented. Japan,
the last of the participants to erive
her consent, informed the State de
partment through the American em
bassy at Tokio that she would "glad
ly accept" the American suggestion
to begin the conference on the fourth
anniversary of the cessation of the
world war.
Thus, the assembling of the dele
gates in Washington on a definite day
becomes an assured fact, although
the diplomatic formalities require
that there be now a formal exchange
of invitations and acceptances. The
invitations are expected to go forward
from Washington without delay and
officials believe that prompt replies
will hasten the negotiations into their

appeared pale and rather nervous and
his answers to the solicitor s ques
tions were barely audible-
Solicitor. Huffman's affidavit for re
moval of the case cited as reasons
the wide business relationships and
acquaintance of the defendant
I throughout the county, his connection
with many of the prominent families
of the county, the extensive discus
sion of the case, and active interest
shown in the defense.
Answering these, five affidavits
were introduced, these tending to
show that the defendant was not sen,
prominent and influential as pictured,
did not have so many family connec
tions or friends who were interested
in his defense, and that such discus
sion of the case as had been reported
was probably detrimental to him.
These affidavits were made by the de

Treasury experts and Republican
leaders in the house are far apart in
their estimates of federal expendi
tures and income for the fiscal year.
Th committee dealing with tax re
vision has before' it figures prepared
by Chairman Madden of the appro
priations committee which are said to
show a smaller probable outgo than
given in Secretary Mellon's statement
and a consistently larger income.
Othar house leaders also have pre
pared their own estimates and on this
basis of the whole they insist that it
will be entirely " possible to reduce
axes by half a billion dollars. Dem
ocrats leaders, on the other "hand,
say this is not possible unless there
is to be a huge deficit at the end of
he year. Bringing up the tax ques
tion in the senate, Senator Borah, Re
publican, Idaho, declared that the
army and navy were the only places
where cuts could be made to meet
Secretary Mellon's recommendations
and warned against any increased
axes.
While expressing approval of Sen
ator Borah's proposal to cut the army
io iuu,uuu men, nairman oraney oi
he tax revision committee made it
known that his estimates' for tax re
ductions were . independent of this.
Other house leaders in arriving at
heir estimates, have declared fot
general ,cuts and they, expect all de
partments to spend less ; than ..the
sums actually provided, r -
Representative Madden said con
gress could be depended upon to keep
down expenditures. '
"We have got to keep our noses
to the grindstone," he declared.
Republican members of the ways
and means committee continued work
on revision of the present revenue
law, confining themselves largely to
changes m administrative and other
features designed to simplify the tax
problem both for internal revenue of
ficers and tax payers.
