FREIGHTER BURNS i
Nineteen Member! of the Crew of Co
lumbian Are Still Missing—Cut
ters Are Searching.
BOSTON, May 7.—The big freight
er Columbian was burned to the wa
ter’s edge yesterday off the coast of
Sable island. The entire crew left
the ship when the flames got beyond
control and passing vessels have pick
ed up part of the crew in life boats,
but nineteen are still missing.
Wireless messages have been sent
to all ships to be on the lookout for
the men in the ship’s boats and three
revenue cutters are racing to the
scene to hunt for the missing seamen
and rescue them before a storm comes
up and they ,are swamped. ,
Ten big transatlantic steamers an
swered the first call for help sent
out by the ship which first saw the
predicament of the big freighter, but
they were unable to locate the miss
ing whale boat..
The wireless of the Columbian was
useless from the start and they were
unable to send out any alarm or ask
for aid and were forced to take to the
boats, hoping to be seen by a pass
ing vessel or to make shore.

Extends His Lines at Vera Cruz Af
ter Receiving Authority From
Washington.
(WASHINGTON, May 7.—General
Frederick Funston has been author
ized today by Secretary of War Gar
rison to extend the lines of the Ameri
can occupation In order that the en
tire city may be under American con
trol and protection. General Fun
ston did not care to act unless au
thorized by the War department, as
under the agreement for mediation no
aggressive act was to be taken by
eithei party. The enlargement of
American influence is merely a police
measure and is not intended as a
war measure.
Robert J. Kerr, a lawyer formerly
of Chicago, and more recently of
Mexico City, who was appointed civil
governor of the city under the Amer
ican authority, has been cleaning up
the city and has succeeded in estab
lishing quiet.

Re-elect Prof. Davis, Miss Stuart and
i
Mrs. Kelsey—!Many Applica
tions for Jobs
The Valdez school board met last
night and after a three-hour session
had re-elected Professor Davis as
principal of the school for the com
ing year, re-elected Miss Stuart, who
has been assistant principal, and also
Mrs. Kelsey, who is in charge of the
primary grade and has held the posi
tion for two years.
The board spent considerable time
considering the 75 applicants for po
sitions with the Valdez school and
were unable to decide upon the bal
ance of the staff so the meeting was
adjourned until Saturday night, when
the complete staff of teachers for the
next year-will be engaged. Two va
cancies now exist, that of Miss Davis,
who does not seek re-election, and
the grade taught by Miss Miller.
The salary of Professor Davis was
fixed at $200 a month for ten months
of the year. Miss Stuart is to re
ceive $125 a month for the ten school
months, while the salary of Mrs. Kel
sey was fixed at $100 a month.
