CORWIN ON ROCKS
IN JUNG SEA
NOME, Sept. 22.—The steamer Cor
win, the first boat to reach Nome
at the opening of navigation for the
past fifteen years, is on the rocks
near Teller and is going to pieces.
The revenue cutter Bear left Nome
for the scene to rescue the members
of the crew. The boat is pounding
on the rocks and it is expected she
Will be a total wreck. The Corwin
was en route to Wrangell Island to
rescue the members of the Canadian
expedition who were on the steam
,er Karluk.
PRESIDENT DENIES
NEWSPAPER STORIES
WASHINGTON, Sept. 22—Presi
dent Wilson last night issued a state
ment denouncing the foolish news
paper reports which claim that he is
about to call a world peace confer
ence. The report is false and the
American government will take no
step not desired by the warring pow
ers. The president urged the papers
to refrain from making any state
ments which were likely to effect the
standing of the United States as a
neutral power.
LOCAL BREVITIES.
All the automobiles which left here
last week are making fine time into
the interior and are experiencing no
trouble along the government road.
Frank Lampoon, of the Orr Stage
company, is in town, having come ov
er the government road and left on
the Mariposa for Cordova.
The big raft of logs of the Copper
River Lumber company were taken
to the islands, where they will be
kept for the winter. The tide today
is exceptionally high.
Jack Ingram, superintendent of the
Alaska road commission work in this
section, returned to Valdez last night
on the road commission automobile,
making the distance from Tonsina to
Valdez in one day.

GUTTER TAHOMA
BE TOTAL LOSS
Is Indicated By Wireless Reports At
Time of Accident—In Danger
ous Position.
Captain Charles O’Brien or the S.
S. Mariposa stated upon his arrival
here today that he received the wire
less S. O. S. call from the stranded
revenue cutter Tahoma, which is on
,the rocks at Attu island, and was
about to start for the scene when
the S. S. Senator reported that she
bad already turned and was head
ed for the scene under rorcea draft
and will be able to render all the aid
necessary.
Wireless reports from the Tahoma
have ceased to come and just before
the wireless stopped the captain of
the cutter stated that if it stormed
his ship would be pounded to pieces
within an hour, Indicating that she
had gone aground In a dangerous po
sition but that the sea was not high
at the time. It can therefore be
inferred that the majority of the of
ficers and crew were saved, as they
could have left the steamer before
the storm reached them and taken
refuge ashore.
The revenue cutter Manning, now
to the westward, has sent a report to
Seattle stating that a steamer was
racing for the Tahoma, which is be
lieved to be the senator, as it is the
pearest to the stranded ship.
. Deputy Marshal Hastings, of lTn
alaska, was aboard the ship at the
time securing witnesses for the case
of the traders at Attu, who are
charged with immoral conduct to
wards the natives.
