SAILORS ARE
PLEASED WITH
TREATMENT
Paul Buckley Says Men from Kotohiru
Maru Are Most Grateful
Crew
Deputy U. S. Marshal Paul Buck
ley, who arrived today with his (laugh
ter, from Unalaska, is greatly admir
ed by the survivors of the wrecked
Japanese liner, and he in turn says
that they are about the finest and
most grateful body of mariners it has
ever been the pleasure of the folks
out West to care for.
“When the men of the chief officer’s
boat reached port, they were wet and
hungry,” said Buckley, “but their ap
preciation was unbounded and the
chief officer at once presented me with
a Samurai sword of great age, which
he had brought with him, it being a
family relic.
“Later, they fixed up the ship’s
compass, which had been brought
away from the wreck, in a small Jap
anese barrel, and decorated with an
American and Japanese flag, the name
of the ship and date and mounted it in
the front yard as a further sign ot
appreciation. On leaving the dock at
Unalaska they sang a song of thanks
in their own tongue.
When the Santa Ana reachedjjcotch
Cap light and the men from boat No.
3 were picked up, men from both res
cued crews fell on each other with
joy, and yelled, “Banzai! Banzai!”
“The next native who reaches Am
chitka island is due for a considerable
surprise,” said Buckley, for the Jap
anese left behind fifty chickens, a par
rot and a pet monkey.
“We reviewed the ship’s manifest
and found it to contain silks, rice,
millinery supplies, wines, and matting
to the value of $1,000,000, much of
which might have been saved had we
possessed boats to go at once to the
scene.
“Captain Dodge and the Cutter
Unalga are searching for the captain
and men in the other boat, but there
is small chance of them being found
unless they have reached a native vil
I lage.
“On the way in from Unimak pass,
i at each port where there were Jap
anese who speak English, the sailors
had them interpret and tell how pleas
ed they were with everything.”

WHEAT PRICE AGREEMENT
IS EXPECTED TODAY
WASHINGTON, Aug. 30.—It is ex
pected that the wheat price fixing
committee will reach an agreement to
day on valuation of the 1917 crop. The
report will be made to the President
and announced in figures. Indications
are that the committee will be unable,
to agree wholly on the price and the
President will cast the deciding vote.
