(By Associated Press.) \ 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.

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 (By Associated Press.) WASHINGTON, Dec. 15.—Speaker Clark, Democratic Leader Underwood and the chairmen of house committees which report appropriation bills, agreed today to keep new appropriations with in the amount appropriated for the pres ent year, which was $1;098,000,000.
