Kingsford, | FRANCE LOSES HER SEAMEN Charges Against Port- land Persons Made by Paris Editor. Letters of Captains Tell of Wholesale “Crimping” cf Crews. -— Special Disoatch to The Call. | PARIS, Jan. 3.—Maurice Schivob, editor | of the Phare de la Loire, publishes an- other article on what he calls ““White | Slave Trade in American Ports,” or, m | other words, the “crimping” of French | merchant crews at Portland, Or. Within | 2 month, he declares, nearly 100 seamen have been lost to France and eight ships’ crews have been hopelessly disorganized. All this is said to be the.work of an or- ized gang headed by a local political a person named Sullivan. As Soonu as a vessel arrives, says Schi- vob, this gang entices tne men to them with drugged liquor until they have been entered as deserters and then sells them 1o other captains. This, after all, is| merely a classical form of the “‘crimping” trade. It is aggravated against French | captains by the imposition of a fine of | | #125 on each vessel flyjng the tri-color. ! Sullivan, the editor says, has imposed | this penalty because one of the French captains insisted on arresting a deserter. | The unfortunate Gauls whose crews | have been debauched and induced to de- | sert must therefore pay $125 to the gang | | before they n get fresh hands, for which they ve to pay a further §55 per | man. As’the law of France forbids de- | serters to return home, each of the men | led astray is practically lost to his coun- iry, ceases to support his wife and fam- ily and diminishes the strength of the val reserve. The captain of the Lamoriciere writeson ecember 10 that nine of his men were so kidnaped. Iven a little cabin boy, Gaston Lrossard, he says, was removed from 2 hospital and has since disap- | peared. He bad to buy fresh hands and | pay a fine. The captain of the Bourbaki | writes on October 12 that his men were supplied with liquor until they became | insubordinate and four deserted. Of | these he arrested three. Then, he de- clares, a gang kidnaped five other men | | by night from the ship after stupefying | them with liquor. The captain of the | | General Mellinet writes: “1 was threatened by | wa. Sullivan with hav- | | ing to go without men if I did not allow | | my crew full liberty to desert. I con- | | d the French Consular Agent and | captains. They all assured me | that Sullivan was such a power {n Port- | land that I would have to treat him with consideration and buy sailors at his price. I hs nally to allow my cabin boy, | Eterville, to desert, after several at- tempts to prevent it. The first mate de- | serted in open day. I had to return the | | effects of the cook, who also deserted his | bread at davlight after stealing a quan- | tity of goods. | “*On December 1 I made the first pay- ment of $250 to Sullivan, who signed a} receipt with a fancy name, agreeing to | | furi me with ten men for a furlheri payment of $300. Next day he raised the price to $550. He admitted that this price | Was illegal and explained that that was | | the reason why he did not sign his own | | name, adding that unless I pald $3 at | once *he would again raise his price. On advice of other captains, English and Ger- | man, 1 paid.” Aguatic Sports at Sutro’s.

The mare picked up eleven pounds from her previous performance, but it was not figured that 101 pounds would prove an anchor and she ruled a pronounced favorite. It did, though, for Redfern could never get the Princess up closer than third any part of the journey and finished in that position. Byron Rose, piloted by Ransch, and 7 to 2 in the ring, won in runaway fashion from Matt Ho- gan, the second choice. Rey Dare, the only other starter, did not appear ready for a grueling contest. Just three favorites got across the line first, but the books were hard hit, espe- clally over the wins of El Mido, Saul of Tarsus, Huachuca and Floronso. Grand Sachnem furnished a surprise by taking the fitth race-at odds of 20 to 1. El Mido closed favorite over El Fonse for the mile and seventy yard curtain raiser and just nipped the outsider, Lost Girl, on the last stride at the wire. Mounce, who rode the first choice, had to pick his way through the bumch and was fortunate to win. El Fonse died away to nothing with Spencer. Helen Smith took the show. With Sea Lion scratched from the sec- ond event, the only horse Jooking to have a chance to beat Saul of Tarsus was Ned Dennis, and the owners of that gelding were permitted to ride Winslette, a green boy. As a consequence all the “open and shut” bettors backed Saul of Tarsus od the boards. He won at leisure. Ned Dennis gnished second, mn front of Bard Burns. Had Huahuca, favorite for the three- year-old sprint, not been pounds the best he could not have landed. Away last tv a stragghng start, he graduaily wore down the lead of Nonie and Dr. Scharff and at the wire beat Ishtar a length. Dr. Scharff lasted long enough to take show honors. Bragg does not seem capable of handling any weight. Of the big bunch which started in the seven-furlong selling affair, Cougar, the Elmwood farm entry, carried the biggest | commissions, closing favorite. The chest- nut horse has bad knees and was unable to crowd in among the first three. Grand Sachem, a 20 to 1 shot, passed Katie Wal- cott in the stretch and scored with Hoar easing up. King Dellis propped down the backstretch, but finally got'the short end of the purse. Almost backed off the boards. Floronso with Johnny Woods in the saddle romped in winner of the final mile and a six- teenth selling affair. The old cripple showed first from the start, leading out Diomed five lengths. Bedeck, starting for the first time in Harry Stover's colors, ran third. Track Notes. The Naglee selling stake will be the feature of the card at Oakland this after- noon.

STEAMER DISPATCH'S RESCUE WORK Continued From Page Three. was when he started to look for Captain Hall to make his report. Refuse to Save Themselves. “Chief Steward John Cornell refused to leave the ship, saying there was plenty of time; nor would Purser Nuttman take a boat. The water was full of wreckage. It was impossible for us to get away from it for over an hour. “It was pitiable to hear the the. wreckage crying for hfl% v not get near them to help them. ‘When asked :hethfir the French bark light he said: ca‘rlnil?dlnot' see any until about a half- hour after the collision, when one ap- peared.” Steerage Passengers Penned In. . Williamson, a bartender of the Walla Walla, was the last to leave the wreck. ‘When' the crash came he went forward and saw a large bark was just passing. The bark was so near that he could have jumped on board her at that time. The assengers were hastily getting into the ifeboats and soon the deck was quite well cleared. One family, consisting of five, supposed to be foreigners, remained in the Eow of the boat. Different mem- bers of the family were asked to get into the boats, but there not being room for the entire family they clung together, wishing to die together rather than be separated. They were in the steerage of the Walla Wulla and happened to be in the end shut off from the compartment where the.bark pierced her, The timbers of the boat were so crushed that persons in the other end of the steerage were cut off from the exit and were thus closed in with no hope for escape or chance to free themselves. Two of these were got out, but others are supposed to have gone down with the ship. Willlamson stayed with the ship until she was about to go down. Then he asped a rope and swun‘g over the side. ilre tried to keep on top of the wreck, but as the vessel began to sink he was caught in the prorelle'r and had a hard time to free himself. He at last was picked up by a raft, and, with a few others, was res- cued by the Dispatch. The raft was under two feet of water and the men were com- pelled to sit in this water and hold on to prevent being washed off by the heav; seas. They maintained this position until they were picked up. Many Acts of Heroism. George Chapman, one of the waiters on the wrecked steamer, said to-night: “1 was asleep when the vessel cut us down. At the first crash I sprang from my bunk and rushed on deck, to find that an immense sailing vessel had smashed into us on the port slde just abaft the fore rigging. The captain was ders to haye the boats provisio: swung out on the davits. The entire crew and passengers behaved splendidly and eople on e could 61 San Lution...105 | OAKLAND RACETRACK—Friday, Jan.

Headwater, The many were the acts of heroism that oc- curred during those few minutes. The women among the passengers were gath- ered on the main deck and awaited their chance of rescue, while many of the men did what they could to aid the crew in launching lifeboats and liferafts. ““The captain remained at his post dur- ing this entire time and went down with his vessel. He reappeared at the surface almost immediately and was pulled upon an improvised raft, where he lay for some time upon the flat of his stomach, as though suffering great pain. His compan- fons did what they could for him under the circumstances, and in a great part are to be credited with the saving of the brave man's life. ““The raft upon which I managed to ob- tain a place carried ten persons, among whom were First Assistant ngineer Reed, a waiter named Gibson, two oilers, a fireman and four passengers. We were picked up by the Dispatch after having en tossed about on the waves for almost twelve hours. A heavy sea was running and made it almost impossible for us to stay with the raft. A stiff breeze was blowing, driving the spray against our al- ready chilled bodies and adding greatly to our misery. When we were taken on the Dispatch we were so weak from ex- posure that we could scarcelr talk. “This terrible disaster will always live in my memory and I dread to recall the piteous calls for help from the doomed as the vessel sank beneath the waves." ot THESE ARE KNOWN TO HAVE LOST THEIR LIVES Passengers and Members of Crew for Whose Safety No Rea- sonable Hope Re- .mains.

However, the Movement to Overthrow Venezuela's Ruler Is Popular. Special Dispatch to The Call. CALL BUREAU, 1406 G STREET, N. W., WASHINGTON, Jan. 3.—There will be no international opposition offered to the descent of General Matos and 350 of his followers upon Venezuela. Even if foreign warships fall in with the steamer Ban Righ, conveying the revolutionary expedition to a port of Venezuela, she will not be interfered with. The moral sympathy of European nations and of the United States is with the revolutionary movement, and in view of the fact that the Ban Righ has been fitted out as a warship at Fort de France, the charge is made by sympathizers of President Castro that France is actively encourag- ing the revolution against him. If Castro succeeds in crushing the revolt he may 80 So far as to submit a claim for dam- ages against the French republic. Such a claim will probably receive no consid- eration from the Paris Foreign Office, thcugh international lawyers say that a government which knowingly permits the iitting out of an armed ship for the pur- pose of operating against a state with which . it is at peace has committed a breach of the law of nations and is liable for damages. In compliance with the request of the United States, Germany is_awaiting tho resuit of the Tevolution before enforcing the measures which she expects will re- sult- in the settlement of the claims of her subjects against Venezuela. The cruiser Gazelle will leave Germany in a few days for La Guayara, and the Berlin Government will then have five men of war in the Caribbean Sea. It is pre- sumed in official circles here that the re- inforcement of the German squadron is the result of information showing that Castro proposes to resist any attempts to occupy La Guayara.

GUESSING AS TO FATE OF THE FRENCH BARK Theory That She May Have Sunk After Striking the Walla ‘Walla Finds Little Credence. EUREKA, Jan. 3.—There is much spec- ulation here as to what became of the Freanch bark that sank the Walla Walla. Nearly all of the survivors say that she displayed no lights after ‘the disaster and soon disappeared, while a few claim to have seen her for some minutes after the collision, during Whic’l‘lbflme she was mov- ing rapidly away. ere are some T- so%s vgho are inclined to the belief tphea.t the bark may have gone down after the collision, but the great majority are of the opinion that, finding his vessel practically undamaged _and _realizing the terribie catastrophe for which he was responsible, the captain of the strange craft crowded on sail and hurried away. ‘The theory that the bark may have sunk is scarcely borne out when it is realized that vessels cruising about the scene of the wreck found no trace of survivors or wreckage of the sailing craft.
