She experienced a rough trip but sustained only slight damage. All on board were safe. The message was sent by { Louis Kaiser, United States Consul at Maz- atlan. PORTLAND, Or., Jan. 6.—The parents of W. G. and R. B. McPherson, passengers || on the Cityof Panama, have received a cable- gram from Mazatlan, Mexico, announcing || their safe arrival. The message indicates that the senders were un- aware that any fear {| existed for the safety of the steamer. e — | Either the City of Panama was | sounding signals of distress when she encountered the terrific storm |off Halfmoon Bay Monday even- ing, or some other steamer was | in serious trouble with the ele-t |ments there at that time. Mi Agnes Struthers, her father, John Struthers, and Edward Frey, who {live at Lobitos, a2 hamlet six miles |south of Halfmoon, are positive | |that they heard the distant moan- ings from the sea that meant an| |appeal for aid Comely Miss: Struthers, 18;L years of age, was the first one| to detect the distress signals, and when she called the attention of her father and Frey to them they both heard plainly for over an hour the succession of whistle blasts. “It was at 8 o'clock in the evening when I first heard the whistling of the steamer,” said Miss Struthers. “We were sit- ting about the fire, for it was a cold and stormy night, when the faint sounds of the whistle blasts came from off the sea. I at once spoke to father about it, and he then could hear the signals. “Mr. Frey came in to visit us, and he, too, could hear the whist- ling plainly. We were all much concerned, for we knew that there was no fog at sea. We fre- quently hear the warning signals of vessels passing in the ?og We talked of the storm at sea, and then we came to the conclusion Paget | FEDERAL AGENTS HERE T0 PROBE. RAILADADS Inquire Inté Car Shortage and Question of Rates Through to the Orient COMM’ISSIONERLAN‘E WILL COME WEST Investigation Is Directed Primarily at Harriman Rail and Steamer Lines —t s Two agents of the Interstate Com- merce Commission have been in Cali- fornia for the last week investigating the car shortage and the question of through rates from Eastern points to the Orient. The greater part of their |inquiries has been directed at the Harriman holdings, both railroad and steamship lines. Particular attention was given to the discrimination in favor of thé Rockefeller interests in the distribution of oil cars. There have been cars in abundance for the | trust, but none for the independents. The presence of representatives of the Interstate Commerce Board in | California is regarded as significant at this time in view of the rigid in- investigation begun in New York into the Harriman system M the intention of the commission to visit San, !'nn ciszo.to complete the ! clsco 1t willbe asked to take up the question of fecting the the commerce beard will go deeply inte this phase of the investigation is rot knéwn, as the chief purpose of the inquiry is to bring to light the | financial organization of the system and the relations borne to each other | by its various branches. | The ground for the inquiry into the car supply was paved by the Garfield | report, wherein' it was shown that the lstandard Oil Company not only re- | celved large rebates, but was furnished | with all the oil cars it needed, where- as the independent producers were forced to shut down their wells be- cause of their inability to secure the necessary transportation facilities. The representatives of the commerce board have been in conference with oil and steamship men in San Francisco and have gathered an abundance of data. MEETING IN CHICAGO the Southern Pacific Company, when asked yesterday in regard to the report that testimony regarding the Harriman by the. nmahu Oofincm Commis- sion, said: RS pnm;l:m any ‘though I am not prepared to say that such testimony will not be taken.
