\ SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 15—There is
j An “earthquake problem” in this coun-
5 try, according to President John C.
} Scanner, of Stanford university, and it
* oan and ought to be coped with in the
| same way that a business problem or
t* pestilence would be met.
>■ In a speech here today, he spoke de-
J precatingly of the “conspiracy of
| silence’ which he said had hindered
* scientific and sane study of the “ac-
} tlve faults’’ in the earth’s crust in Cal-
> Ifornia, which would make possible
( campaign against a repetition of the
y San Francisco disaster of 1906.
• “We must study quakes, where they
originate, how and why,” he said. “Our
study of the 1906 earthquake enabled us
to map out the entire distance of the
fault which caused the damage—the
fracture in the earth’s trust which slip
ped and caused the trouble.
. “There are plenty of active faults
In California and we should be working
now to locate them. When we know
where they are we can keep our houses,
bridges. dams, pipe lines and other
structures oft them or we can do our
engineering so that when the next earth
f slip comes the effect will be neglible.
* “If the wriggling line o£ the 1906
fault had been accurately kn^vn, the
j Spring Valley Water company would

“In projecting the great Hetch-

that near Irvington thf£ line would have
to cross an active fault, which sooner
or later would shift and cause a break
in the line. Freeman proposes to remedy
this by constructing a valve above the
fault and erecting a repair station near

Story Told by El Dorado’s
Captain Like Clark Russell
Romance-Some of Sailors
Wouldn't Come Home
SAN FRANCISCO. Dec. *5.—Exem
plifying the old saying that the truth
is strangler than fiction. Captain Nels
P. Benson and Steve Drinkwater and
Alex Simoneau. sailors, of the four-
masted schooner El Dorado, which foun
dered in the south Pacific 3,000 miles
from land, arrived in San Francisco on
the Royal Mail liner Moana.
Eeight men of the crew of the El
Dorado remained on Easter island,
where, according to Captain Benson,
they have married native women. He
said they refused to leave with him in
an open boat on his 2,500-mile voyage
to Tahiti.
Captain Benson and the crew aban
doned the El Dorado on Friday, June
13, after the vessel had become water
logged and its decks wer.e flush with
the water after encountering a hurri
cane which lasted twenty hours.
In the storm the old schooner was
stripped of its sails, all but one of its
lifeboats were. carried away, and its
seems opened up.
After all hope of being able to remain
longer aboard the schooner had passed,
the last lifeboat was launched on June
13, after itMiad been provisioned with
thirty cans soup, thirty cans con
densed milk, twenty gallons of water,
and a box of crackers. These supplies
the captain happened to hq.ve in a lock
er on the bridge. Thete was plenty
of food aboard ship, but it was under
water.
While a terrible sea was still running,
the boat was launched, and the men
jumped into \ it from a boom. Five of
them fell into the sea, but were rescued.
900 MILES FROM LAND.
Before abandoning the ship, Captain
Benson found from his 'charts that he
was 2,700 miles from the coast of Chili,
and that the nearest land was Easter
island, about 900 miles to the westward.
“It was just about dark when we left
the old schooner,” said Captain Benson
to a reporter. “The storm had abated
somewhat, but there was still a south
easterly gale.
“It was a forlorn hope. I told the
men that we would endeavor to reach
Easter island. I told them our chances
were small, but we might make it.
T tried to encourage the boys, but
they only stared at me blankly.
“After nine days of exposure and ter
rible suffering, in which Carl Carlsen,
one of the crew, became temporarily
crazed and tried to jump overboard, but
was restrained, we arrived off Easter
island.
“It,was so rough tha) we could not
land or beach our boat. For two more
days we stood off the island awaiting
an opportunity to get ashore. .
“About noon on the eleventh day we
managed to make a landing, but, to our
dismay, we found that we had been cast
on the uninhabited part of the island.
“Our hands and feet were so swollen
from the salt water and exposure that
we were unable to walk when we got
ashore, and we fell in our tracks.
“First mate Wilson and second mate
Johnson were better off than any the
rest of us. That night they set out
on an exploring expedition. The follow
ing day they returned to us with a par
ty of natives, and we were taken to their
settlement.
NO FRILLS ON HARDSHIPS.
“By the way, I’m just reciting plain
facts. I am not giving you any of the
fancy side issues of our sufferings in
the eleven days after we abandoned the
El Dorado.
“Though I, with two of the crew, later
sailed 2,500 miles in our lifeboat from
Easter island to Papette, the worst of
our troubles were, of course, over when
reached Easter island.
“About 200 Malay natives live on Eas
ter island. And I want to tell you that
God never put a better heart into any
human being than He did into those
brown men and women we found on the
island.
“They came for us with their oxen
and their old wooden-wheeled carts,
and they cared for us like we were so
many babes.
“They gave us huts and made wonder
ful nourishing soups and strengthening
herb teas for us. The women bathed
our feet and hands with healing oils.
“When I think of it now, I don't won
der that when I asked the men if they
wanted to leave with me on the long
journey to Tahiti they refused. Several
of the boys told me that they would re
tain there ‘for keeps.’
“Of course, they may change their
minds if a ship ever comes close enough
to the island for them to hail it.
“I was on the island just 101 days.
We saw several sailing ships and one
steamship; but they stood out to sea
too far for us to signal them.”
HOLD APPROPRIATIONS
IN $1,098,000,000 LIMIT

WASHINGTON, Dec. 15.—Speaker
Clark, Democratic Leader Underwood

The plan is to have no new projects

The conference agreed upon a hurry
up program. Otherwise Speaker Clark
declared, congress would be here until

NEW YORK, Dec. 15.—A young for
eigner, swarthy and clean shaven was
sought today by detectives as the sender
of the bomb which killed Ida Anuse-
witz 'yesterday as she opened it at her
d-esk in the office of the O. K. Bottling
company.
From a patchwork of clues the police
wove overnight a theory ol’ motive for
the crime. The slain girl they believe
was not the victim for whom the bomb
was intended; William H. Callahan, the
proprietor, was. Business rivalry, the
police believe, prompted the act. Follow
ing still further this theory detectives
believe the young man they seek acted
as agent for some one else when he
took the package containing the bomb
to the office of an express comapny
for. delivery.
This young man wore a slouch hat
and a black sweater as he faced the;
clerk at the express office. Central of
fice detectives placed today a dragnet|
over the east side for him. Although
his name is lacking they have a clean
cut description of him.
