OIL CITY, PA.
San Francisco, July 23. In one of
the worst marine disasters In the his
tory of the California coast between
100 and 150 lives were lost, as far as
has been learned, by a midnight col
lision between the steamer Columbia
and the steam lumber schooner San
Pedro In Shelter Cove, 12 miles south
west of the Mendocino-Humboldt
county line, between 12 and 1 o'clock
Sunday morning.
Only meagre details of the tragedy
have been received, though every ef
fort has been made to get the facts.
Scores of telegrams to Eureka, the
nearest point of Importance, remain
unanswered. The few details known
here were brought by the Bteamer
Roanoke and the steam schooner
Palsy Mitchell, which arrived in San
Francisco yesterday forenoon.
The Columbia, a 300 foot steel ves
sel of the San Francisco and Portland
Steamship company, while bound
Irom San Francisco for Portland, Ore.,
with 189 passengers and a crew of 60,
collided with and was rammed by the
San Pedro, a 170 foot wooden steamer,
southbound for this city.
The sea was smooth but the weath
er was foggy. The San Pedro, loom
ing out of the mist a few ship lengths
away, bore down on the Columbia at
high speed, despite frantic efforts to
clear.' With a grinding crash the
San Pedro sank her stem fully 10 feet
Into the Columbia's port bow.
Nearly all of the Columbia's passen
gers and many of her crew were
asleep when the collision occurred. As
the San Pedro backed away the sea
poured in through the ragged hole In
the Columbia's bow above and below
the water line, and in five minutes
she sank.
The story of that five minutes Is
yet to be told and until it Is told by
some survivor the facts of the trag
edy can be but guessed at

ANNUAL
OPENING
SEPTEMBER 3d,
1907
According to J. S. Flynn. a passen
ger on the Roanoke. Cautaln Doran of
the Columbia succeeded in launching
four life boats and tw rafts before
the Columbia sank. Flynn in an inter
view Is quoted as saying that 88 pas
sengers, all men, got away In that
manner and were saved; that Captain
T)oran acted with great coolness In the
face of denth and went down with his
ship. Flynn is further quoted ns say
ing that not ono of the 100 odd women
passengers was saved.
Shortly after the collision the steam
ers Roanoke and George V. Elder and
the steam schooner Daisy Mitchell,
all southbound, came on the scene and
stood by. The Elder took the San
Pedro in tow and the latest report an
nounces their arrival In Eureka. The
stem of the Snn Pedro was smashed
lo Bpllnters, one of her masts was
snapped off at the deck, she was set
fling and she had a heavy list when
taken In tow. Captain Hansen re
mained on board.
The Dnlsv Mitchell offered assist
ance to the Elder, but this was de
clined. She picked up a lifeboat and
a raft of the Columbia and brought
them to this city.
Near the scene of the wreck the
JItoanoke picked up a llferaft and
found underneath It the dead body of
a jinssenger supposed to be Edward
Butler of Portsmouth, N. H.
The officers of the Merchants' Ex
change' in tills city and of the various
newsnaners have been besieged since
early morning by relatives and friends
if the Columbia's passengers, but the
innUtent and tearful requests for in-
Tormation of the victims and the res
cued remained unsatisfied. Beyond
iho renorted facts that Butler was
drowned and that Captain Doran went
down with his ship few details or cas
ualties have been received.
.President Frey of the steamship
company said that the Columbia lies
in deep water and 13 miles off shore,
and that for the present at least no
attempt will be made to raise her.
Captain Doran was regarded by the
officials of the San Francisco and
Portland Steamship company as one
of the ablest seamen who ever oper
ated a vessel on the coast. His ca
reer had been free from accidents and
this was the first disaster that had
befallen any vessel over which he held
command.

ington, D. C, wns condemned to death
tills morning after a five days' trial,
or the murder of his wife's mother,

judges Hnu aroso and stnndlng erect
With folded arms, listened to the sent-
nce without moving a muscle. A mo
ment Inter he wns hurried away to
prison by half a dozen policemen.
The sentence is unpopular with the
street crowds, which have been dem
onstrating more and more openly for
several days in Hau's fsvor and
against the Molltor family.
After the adjournment of the court
Tor a recess at 8 o'clock last night
the women of the Molltor party were
compelled to remain In an ' office

hours before they were able to leave.
Meanwhile, enormous crowds bad
assembled in the streets adjneent to
the court house.
Cordons of police kept the crowds
in chock for an hour or more, but then
