Bunker. “The public would like to know,” said Mr. Wharton, “what guarantee it has from the inspectors as to the effi- ciency of seamen and equipment of ves- sels on the Pacific Coast. There is a feeling that the ofiicers of the Valencla took aboard men who were unskilled as seamen and unable to care for pas- | sengers in-the event of a wreck or other disaster, It is held, too, by some | that the quality of the life preservers | was such as to render them useless, I am here to seek information that I may impart it to the public, and I would like to know if the inspectors are sitting in judgment on their own acts?” ~ The inspectors showed Mr. Wharton life belts made of tules and of cork. They contended that the tule belt was equally as good as cork, and said that a majority of witnesses had testified that the former were all right. A tule | belt worn by John Segalos, the Greek fireman rescued from the life raft picked up by the City of Topeka, was exhibited. A twenty-pound weight was tied to it and the life preserver immersed in a barrel of water. When the court adjourned at 5 o'clock the belt had been in the water six hours and was still afloat, SURVIVORS TESTIFY, Dr. Wharton was informed that marine inspectors had nothing to do with the selection of seamen, and he stated that he was personally satis- fied with the explanatipns given, and would be pleased to inform his congre- gatien. P The witnesses called this afternoon were A. H. Hawkins and Joseph Mc- Caffery, passengers, and Martin Tar- pey, & quartermaster on ~board the Valencla. All three were on, the raft ricked up by the City of Topeka. The wit- nesses in each case testified ‘that there Wwas no apparent attempt on the part of the members of the crew to ecrowd the passengers from the life boats and rafts, Hawkins declared that the small working boat ‘was dropped into the water on account of the breaking of the tackle. MeCaffery declared there was lack. of discipline among the members of the crew, that they were not at their sta- tions when the boats were bejng lowergd, and he expressed the opinion that the gers from interfering with the lifeboats. Quartermaster Tarpey stated that he be- lieved the tug Czar could have stood by close enough to have shot a line to the wreck and he declared that a man ‘on the cliff could have drawn the line shot from the Valencia up clear of the water and helped to rig a boatswain's chair or some other life-saving device. > “It would have been a risky task,” he said, “but I think a properly equipped life-saving boat could have ‘reached us from the sea.” SAYS SEA WAS NOT ROUGH. C. Allison of St. Paul, a passenger, tes- tified that the séa was not rough. He explained that he had himself been a sailor and that the surf that finally bat- tered the Valencla to pleces could not be called high. This testimony caused a mild sensation, as all published accounts of the wrecdk have been described as “high seas”” and a ‘“‘terrible surf.” “Every one seemed to shun us,” said Al- lison. “All seemed to be afraid to Weip or to attempt to help the unfortunate men and women who were facing death. “All those that succeeded in getting ashore immediately \went off. The ves- sels at sea stood off and made no at- tempt to lower a beat. In the morning after the last raft put off from the Va- lencia there was mno great sea running. Not a wave had a comber on it. “There might have been some excuse for the Queen not coming in close, but there was a tug alongside of her that did not come any clos than the large vessel. It all looked wrong to me, all wrong." “Did the conduct of the officers of the vessel meet with your approval?” “I was in my bunk when the vessel struck, and immediately went on deck. Everything was' quiet and orderly’ then. Some one gave an order to lower tl boats to the saldon deck. I could not in authority. CREW TAKES THE RAFT. . “After a few moments, when they Wwere lowering the starboard boat, the crowd gathered around it. After people were | jumping in. I could not distinguish faces —it was too dark—when the boat was filled and lowered. I don’t know who gave the word to lower the boat to the water, but it might have been one of the officers or some excited passenger. Anyway, the boat went down the ship's side. For a moment it hung, one end up, | the other down, and all the time banging against the sides of the vessel. Finally it was caught and capsized. There was great excitement then, and cries of ‘Puil them out!' came from all sides.” “How did it happen that so many of the crew were on that life raft?” asked Inspector Whitney. “As soon as the raft struck the water the crew took possession,” said the wit- ness. “What kind of weather was it when you were picked up by the Topeka?" “Nice weather. It was a trifle foggy, but there was no wind blowing. The waves did not have combers on them. 1 do not see why a boat could not have been lowered.” *“Did you hear any veason given on the Topeka as to why no 'boats were low- ered?” “None.” SEGALA TELLS HIS STORY. Allison then went on and told of the condition of the vessel when he left. He stated the hurricane deck was rising mcl falling with every wave that struck the ship. That caused many of those on board to leave, thinking that she was about to break up. - - A. Willis, another passenger, testified | the first boat was not lowered properly. He sald the cliff on which the Valencia was wrecked was so abrupt where he Janded that he could not get to the life line that was shot ashore. 5 John Segala, the Greek fireman, who was the real hero of the Valencia, testi- fied before the this -afternoon, in plunging FRANCISCO C ESS STAND Tug Czar Could Have Shot Line to Steamer.

But the water it was too strong for me and I have to come back to ship.” Segala spoke with a strong accent and used his own idiom. He contradicted ‘Witness Allison, saying the seas ‘Were terrific the morning after the ship struck. P T et PROPERTY OF DROWNED. Coliector of Customs Guards Effects of the Valemeia’s Dead.

The Indians also report two white men on the island.” Advices from Darling Creek say a crew from tugs landed there, but was unable to get off any of the bodies recovered owing to the high sea, and it has been decided to bury all bodies found there.

CALL BUREAU, POST BUILDING, ‘WASHINGTON, Jan. 80. — Hearings were begun tokday hefore the House Committee on Territories, and will last several days, on Representative Sulze bill to give Alaska a territorial govern- ment. Sulzer and ex-Governor Swin- ford made the principal arguments, the former pointing out thdt the bill had been l.pprroved by the Republican and Democratic conventions of Alaska, as well as by a non-partisan convention of citizens, - Sulzer also spoke in favor of his bill to give Alaska a Delegate in the House of Representatives. He stated that, first and foremost, he was in favor of making Alaska a Territory with the right to elect its own representative, but if the committee thought that the bill could not pass at this session he wanted his measure providing for a Delegate reported and put on the cal endar, so that it could be substitutel for the bill of similar import which Senator Nelson has introduced in the Senate when the latter bill should come over to the House. In this way, Sulzer said, the people of Alaska would be able to elect a Delegate next August for the unexpired térm of the present Congress and, for the Sixtieth Con- Representative Cushman providing that the Government guarantee the interest on $13,000,000 worth of bonds for thirty years to ald in the construction of rail- road and telegraph lines in Alaska.
