It was built in 1882 by Cramp & Sons of Philadelphia. During the war with Spain the Valencia was en- gaged for a time in the transport serv- ice of the United States, conveying troops to and from the Philippines. "In the absence of Information." said Captain Gaudin, "It is difficult to con- jecture what brought the steamer from her course, but in my opinion it was a strong southeasterly gale blowing at the rate of fifty miles per hour, as the Separating the two points is a stretch of coast line, probably ten miles long. Slightly nearer Cape Beale than i Clo- Oose Is a bay known as Pachena, at the entrance to which are the notori- ous Seabird rocks, on which the steamer Michigan was wrecked about ten years ago. Captain Baudy believes It Is on these selfsame rocks that, the has' struck. \u25a0 The' rocks- stand- out bold and treacherous, and as they stand where both current and wind seem to concentrate their greatest force from the open Pacific, a landing, unless un- der most favorable circumstances, would appear impossible. If the ship came to grief in this locality she would be nearer Cape Beale than Clo-Oose, which accounts for the survivors reaching there. , ' Struck Seabird Rocks Capt. James Oaudln, agent of marine, who received the first message of the disaster from the llghtkeeper at Car- mannh, when asked his opinion as to the probable scene of the wreck, said It was possibly, us far as he could judge from dispatches, at Pachena bay, which is about half way between Clo- Oose and Cape Beale. At 6:30 p. m. the meteorological sta- tion reported that n gale has been In progress on the Island coast for the past two days. Off Vancouver island a velocity of forty miles an hour was reported. A tremendous sea sweeps In on the rocks near Cape Beale In heavy weather, with high breakers. The steamer Queen left here at 5 p. m. for the wreck. . The wrecking steamer Salvor left this afternoon to assist tho wrecked steamer Valencia. Nine men got ushore aboilt fifteen miles from here. Two men arc pris- oners on the face of tho cliff and can- not get up or back to the, ship. The sen will likely reach them when the tide Is high. The men report some very pathetic scenes. Ono woman dropped her cWld In the sea In trying to hand it to her husband, A little boy of five years Is running around the deck try- Ing to find his mother, who Is among the drowned. There are still about 125 persons on tho ship, with almost cer- tain death staring them In tho face. VICTOKtA, B. C, Jan. 23.— With ninety-four passengers nnd about sixty Inher crew the steamer Valencia went ashore nbout ten miles east of Cape Healo In v thick fog about 12 o'clock last night. She Is on the rocka against a high cliff and Is likely to go to pieces at any time. One boat's crew of six men reached Cape IJeale about 3. p. m. today, The survivors say that a great number were drowned In trying to leave the ship. Hy Associated Press. WOULD KILL THE SUFFERING ONES NOTED MINSTKEL TEIES SUICIDE If the claim that the proceedings to remove Tompkins was irregular is thought to be good by the directors, the board will hold a meeting before February t and endeavor to secure the voie of Devlin or Hay to make good the- previous action of Felton and Ford. Should Devlin and Ray decline to alter their original position in favor of Tompkins, the Incumbent warden may hold office until his term shall have expired or the deadlock among the directors Is broken. Should Edgar, who was elected by the directors to succeed Tompklns, as- sume the duties and functions of that office on February 1, as. proposed, all his acts, according to the Interpreta- tion of the law made by some, would be without force and effect. It is claimed by lawyers, who base their views on an opinion of the su- preme court given In connection with a contest over a Santa Barbara Judge- ship, that Wilklns' term of office ex- pired on the first instant, and that any official act of his after that date was illegal and void. Without the' vote of Wilklns on the 13th, there would not have been a majority vote of the di- rectors to declare the office of the warden vacant. If Wilklns voted with- out authority of law, Tompkins may retain the office of warden of San Quentln until legally removed. SAN KUANCISCO, Jan. 23.-Stlll further complications may arise In the wardenship controversy at Ban Quen- tln prison. It now appears that at the secret meeting of the directors, held In this city January 15, only three of the five members of the board voted to declare Warden Tompklns' place va- cant, and the terms of office of one of these three, Wilklns, had expired on the 12th. Tho other directors vot- ing for the removal of Tompkins were Felton and Ford. Directors Devlinand Ray were against declaring Tompklns' office vacant. ByAssociated Press. FIND $200,000 GOLD BRICK KILL HIMSELF "BERT HAVERLY" ATTEMPTS TO By Associated Press. NEW YOIIK, Jnn. 23.—C01. Mann, editor of the Town Topics, was recalled to tho witness stand today when tha trial of Norman Ilapgood, editor of Col- ller's Weekly, on a charge of criminal libel was resumed. The charge Is brought by Justice Joseph At. Deuel, a stockholder In Town Topics. A copy of Town Topics issued In 189!) was shown the witness, who denied that Abraham 11. Hummel, the lawyer, had consulted him about an unpleasant paragraph In that Issue of the paper. Col. Mann then told of the beginning of his connection with Town Topics ! and how W. K.Vanderbllt came to be a stockholder of the paper. Col. Mann said: "In 1876 I was connected with tho Pullman Car company. When the crisis came In Wall street, or I might say the, conspiracy," said the witness, "I found i myself suddenly changed from being a millionaire to owning not a dollar and ' being $100,000 In debt. It was at this , time that I became Interested in Town ' Topics, and I went to William K.Van- derbllt and asked him for a loan. l", think he gave me about $25,000. I told Mr. Vanderbilt that I wished to get out of debt and wanted him to help me.' He , told me that what I owed him I need , not worry about. I sent to Mr.Vanaer- bllt and told him I needed more money and I asked him" to take some Town \u25a0 Topios stock as collateral security. Later he returned my notes and -the stock and said he did not care to loan me any more money, but he said he heped I would get on." Asked how he came to be sufficiently ." well acquainted with J. P. Morgan to.- borrow $2500 from him without security. . Col. Mann said:. Knew Morgan's Father "I met and knew his father. I think' I know htm well enough to ask him. 1 ',.,;;,.. "Will you tell the jury," said District' Attorney Jerome, 'what reason there was for Thomas F. Ryan to lend you $10,000?" "Well, that was three or four years ago. As I remember, Mr. Whit- ney introduced me to Mr. Ilyan^ He, said I 'was a, friend of his. He said: 'Mr. Mann is a gentleman and an honest man and any time you can do anything for him or lend him any money 1 want you to do It.' " "I did not see Mr. Ityan again for some time. When I asked him to lend ' me money and offered shares as col- lateral, Mr. Hyan said he would take the matter under consideration. Next time I called on Mr. Ityan he said: 'I do not want the shares, but I will lerM you the $10,000. Give me your note and I will give you the money.' " Clarence Jones, the witness said, loaned him $10,000. Colonel Mann was then questioned' by Attorney James W. Oeborne of counsel for Mr. Hapgood's defense. .

Attorneys for the defense say it will take three weeks to get through with the trial. »• Five jurors remain to bo chosen and the defense has three and the prosecu- tion four peremptory challenges left In case the regular panel holds out the probabilities are that the box will be filled tomorrow. The examination of Jurors touching their qualifications indicated that the line, of defense will not be materially different from that in the Bunkers and ISminons cases. Many witnesses will be called to swear to tho good reputa- tion of French, nearly every promi- nent official and politician in the state being on the list. The attorneys for the defendant, Frank D. Ryan and James U. Devine, were prepared for the reception of testimony to be given by Harry Bunkers, the convicted boodler who turned slate's evidence and who is now serving five years in the San Quentln prison. The attorneys closely questioned each candidate for the. Jury box as to how he would re- ceive the testimony of an accomplice and what weight he would give It. The other questions were those usually pro- pounded to Jurors in criminal cases. SACRAMENTO. Jan. 23.— The pre- liminary steps of the trial of Frank French, the last of the four men who were ousted from the state senate last winter for accepting a bribe to re- frain, from investigating certain build- ing and loan associations, were taken in Judge Hart's court today and when the session closed seven jurors had been accepted and sworn to try the case. \u25a0 By Associated Press.

Contractors' Workmen Discover Treas- ure In Dismantling Old Mill , in New Mexico By Associated Press. ALBUQUERQUK,N. M., Jan. 23.—1n dismantling the old Albemarle mill In the Jemez mountains north of this city, Morris Bros., constructors, dis- covered hidden under the foundations a big, solid gold brick supposed to be worth about $200,000. It Is supposed to have been stolen and hidden there by some former em- ploye of the mill when the latter was In operation ten years ago. The contractors have been taking out the machinery to ship to the United Verde mine In Arizona. Great secrecy has been preserved about the discovery. SNOWBOUND SEVERAL DAYS track would be blocked and many were hungry. Steaming coffee -was also served to the wrecked and delayed passengers by the kind-hearted dwell- ers In Glendora, who opened their homes to those who wished to remain over night. Clear by 10 o'clock About 8 o'clock the wrecking trains arrived from each direction and the trained crews with derricks and Jacks made quick work of removing the debris. The damaged cars were yanked off the track, the trucks hoisted out of the way and by 10 o'clock the right of way had been cleared. Superintendent Hitchcock of San Bernardino was one of the first of the officials to reach the spot. So were the claim agents. From information they gathered it appears that the local had just taken water at Glendora and had resumed its trip, when \u25a0 like out from tho clouds the. big flyer.-.came from behfnd and around the curve.' ' The Limited engineer shut off the steam, applied the brakes at emergency notch and jumped, hut with a speed of probably sixty miles an hour, he only checked the force of the impact somewhat. Ran Nine Hundred Feet The tremendous jam may be realized when It is known that the trains were not brought to a stop until they had traversed 900 feet. Work by Torchlight The sights about the wreck were weird indeed after dark. All the lanterns In the neighborhood were brought Into service to assist the wreckers. Tho big locomotive had its front completely torn away and the head- light was useless. By the light of flickering torches the crews worked till but few vestiges of the disaster remained. The more seriously hurt of the vic- tims were conveyed Inautomobiles and other rigs to Monrovia and from there cars that made no stops sped toward Los Angeles at full speed to the hos- pitals and the homes of the Injured. Pasadena late In the night sent vol- unteers with automobiles, but they could do littlemore nt that hour than carry messages and such of the pas- sengers as wished to stop off at the poetic city In the hills departed In these useful vehicles. One Woman's Experience Mrs. A. Smith of Long Beach was on the local train into which the en- gine of tho limited plunged. Mrs. Smith, though badly shaken up, escaped serious Injury. "I was on the rear car of the local train and just as we were crossing the Junction the engine of tho other train, which was going at a high rate of speed, crashed into us near the front of our car. The jar was awful and everyone seemed to bo thrown into the air. The middle car of our train seemed split to pieces and I don't know how we escaped so easily."

One by one tho victims were laid out on the grusa. Tenderly such unpro- fessional aid was administered as seemed to suggest itself by the sym- pathetic yet almost helpless bystanders.

Passengers Come to Rescue Passengers on the local were sent sprawling in all directions amid broken seats and glass, cut and bruised. They suffered from all they came in contact With, and out of the debris there issued shouts and screams and heartrending cries. Unfortunate passengers had been ground into the battered coaches. Helpless from shock and fastened by the weight of fixtures they were re- leased after enduring agonizing mo- ments that seemed like hours. Glendora is In a valley and the point of impact was near a county road that leads toward Azusa. The local had passed the station after a stop and was opposite the road and on a curve when, with the crashing of steel anil wood and the hiss of escaping steam, the flyer struck the smaller and Blower train. Like a gigantic catapult the Limited telescoped the rear coach of the local, plowing through the trucks and send- ing the last three coaches off . the tracks in twisted, splintered and broken hulks into the ditch off the curve. Strikes With Awful Impact Conductor Chesbro was caught on a platform and crushed.

gaged for a time in the transport serv-ice of the United States, conveyingtroops to and from the Philippines.

Separating the two points is a stretchof coast line, probably ten miles long.Slightly nearer Cape Beale than iClo-Oose Is a bay known as Pachena, atthe entrance to which are the notori-ous Seabird rocks, on which the steamerMichigan was wrecked about ten yearsago. Captain Baudy believes It Is onthese selfsame rocks that, thehas' struck. \u25a0 The' rocks- stand- out boldand treacherous, and as they standwhere both current and wind seem toconcentrate their greatest force fromthe open Pacific, a landing, unless un-der most favorable circumstances,would appear impossible. If the shipcame to grief in this locality she wouldbe nearer Cape Beale than Clo-Oose,which accounts for the survivorsreaching there.

Struck Seabird Rocks

Capt. James Oaudln, agent of marine,who received the first message of thedisaster from the llghtkeeper at Car-mannh, when asked his opinion as tothe probable scene of the wreck, saidIt was possibly, us far as he couldjudge from dispatches, at Pachena bay,which is about half way between Clo-Oose and Cape Beale.

At 6:30 p. m. the meteorological sta-tion reported that n gale has been Inprogress on the Island coast for thepast two days. Off Vancouver island avelocity of forty miles an hour wasreported. A tremendous sea sweeps Inon the rocks near Cape Beale In heavyweather, with high breakers.

The steamer Queen left here at 5p. m. for the wreck..The wreckingsteamer Salvor left this afternoon toassist tho wrecked steamer Valencia.

Nine men got ushore aboilt fifteenmiles from here. Two men arc pris-oners on the face of tho cliff and can-not get up or back to the, ship. Thesen will likely reach them when thetide Is high. The men report some verypathetic scenes. Ono woman droppedher cWld In the sea In trying to handit to her husband, A little boy of fiveyears Is running around the deck try-Ing to find his mother, who Is amongthe drowned. There are still about 125persons on tho ship, with almost cer-tain death staring them In tho face.

WOULDKILLTHESUFFERING ONES

NOTED MINSTKELTEIES SUICIDE

If the claim that the proceedings toremove Tompkins was irregular isthought to be good by the directors,the board willhold a meeting beforeFebruary t and endeavor to secure thevoie of Devlin or Hay to make goodthe- previous action of Felton and Ford.Should Devlin and Ray decline to altertheir original position in favor ofTompkins, the Incumbent warden mayhold office until his term shall haveexpired or the deadlock among thedirectors Is broken.

Should Edgar, who was elected bythe directors to succeed Tompklns, as-sume the duties and functions of thatoffice on February 1, as. proposed, allhis acts, according to the Interpreta-tion of the law made by some, wouldbe without force and effect.

It is claimed by lawyers, who basetheir views on an opinion of the su-preme court given In connection witha contest over a Santa Barbara Judge-ship, that Wilklns' term of office ex-pired on the first instant, and thatany official act of his after that datewas illegal and void. Without the' voteof Wilklns on the 13th, there would nothave been a majority vote of the di-rectors to declare the office of thewarden vacant. IfWilklns voted with-out authority of law, Tompkins mayretain the office of warden of SanQuentln until legally removed.

SAN KUANCISCO, Jan. 23.-Stlllfurther complications may arise In thewardenship controversy at Ban Quen-tln prison. Itnow appears that at thesecret meeting of the directors, heldIn this city January 15, only three ofthe five members of the board voted todeclare Warden Tompklns' place va-cant, and the terms of office of oneof these three, Wilklns, had expiredon the 12th. Tho other directors vot-ing for the removal of Tompkins wereFelton and Ford. Directors DevlinandRay were against declaring Tompklns'office vacant.

editor of the Town Topics, was recalledto tho witness stand today when thatrial of Norman Ilapgood, editor of Col-ller's Weekly, on a charge of criminallibel was resumed. The charge Isbrought by Justice Joseph At. Deuel, astockholder InTown Topics.

Acopy of Town Topics issued In189!)

was shown the witness, who deniedthat Abraham 11. Hummel, the lawyer,had consulted him about an unpleasantparagraph Inthat Issue of the paper.

Col. Mann then told of the beginningof his connection with Town Topics !and how W. K.Vanderbllt came to bea stockholder of the paper. Col. Mannsaid:

"In 1876 Iwas connected with tho

Pullman Car company. When the crisiscame In Wall street, orImight say the,conspiracy," said the witness, "Ifound imyself suddenly changed from beinga millionaire to owning not a dollar and

'

being $100,000 In debt. It was at this ,time thatIbecame Interested in Town

'Topics, andIwent to William K.Van-derbllt and asked him for a loan. l",think he gave me about $25,000. ItoldMr.Vanderbilt thatIwished to get outofdebt and wanted him to help me.' He ,told me that what Iowed himIneed,not worryabout. Isent to Mr.Vanaer-blltand told himIneeded more moneyand Iasked him" to take some Town \u25a0

Later he returned my notes and -thestock and said he did not care to loanme any more money, but he said heheped Iwould get on."

Asked how he came to be sufficiently ."well acquainted with J. P. Morgan to.-borrow $2500 from him without security. .Col. Mann said:.

"Willyou tell the jury," said District'Attorney Jerome, 'what reason therewas for Thomas F. Ryan to lend you$10,000?"

"Well, that was three or four yearsago. As I remember, Mr. Whit-ney introduced me to Mr. Ilyan^ He,said I'was a, friend of his. He said:'Mr. Mann is a gentleman and anhonest man and any time you can do •

anything for him or lend him anymoney 1want you to do It.'

""I did not see Mr. Ityan again for

some time. When Iasked him to lend'

me money and offered shares as col-lateral, Mr. Hyan said he would takethe matter under consideration. Nexttime Icalled on Mr. Ityan he said:'I do not want the shares, but IwilllerM you the $10,000. Give me your noteand Iwillgive you the money.'

Women Show Great BraveryThe women victims bore the pain they

endured bravely, yet their Bufferingswere pitiful.' The surgeons were ableto ease the situation by giving opiatesuntil tho automobiles und electric earsrcurhed the neighborhood when tho

victims were hurried to their homes andto hospitals. '

One of the victims was a sick Mexi-can on a stretcher. Ho was jiunmed Insuch a way that his legs were se-verely hurt.

Nearby residents came to the scenelater und brought bnxeti of orungenwhich wore partaken ofby many of thepanseng;erß who were fc'lsid to be re-freshed. No one knew how long the

Nearly all of the passengers on thelocal wore unfit for quick rescue work—the shock, had been too pronounced

—but tho passengers on the Limitedscrambled off their vestibuled trains,brought the wrecking tools with whicheach coach is equipped and chopped

mid sawed their wayInto the three, rearcuucheH which hud sustained thegreatest damages.

One by one tho victims were laid outon the grusa. Tenderly such unpro-fessional aid was administered asseemed to suggest itself by the sym-

pathetic yet almost helpless bystanders.Messengers were dispatched up and

down the truck to reach telephone andtelegraph operators, and through thismeans in time the wrecking crews andtrains lv San Hernardlno and Los An-geles were notified and later broughtto tho spot.

Only ono surgeon had made his np-pearanco up to tho tlnm that darknesscame und found the wrecked parties

still trying to aid the injured victims.Later, however, Or.Morrison of Los

Passengers Come to Rescue

Passengers on the local were sentsprawling inall directions amid brokenseats and glass, cut and bruised. They

suffered from all they came in contactWith, and out of the debris there issuedshouts and screams and heartrending

cries. Unfortunate passengers had beenground into the battered coaches.Helpless from shock and fastened bythe weight of fixtures they were re-leased after enduring agonizing mo-ments that seemed likehours.

Glendora is Ina valleyand the pointof impact was near a county road thatleads toward Azusa. The local hadpassed the station after a stop andwas opposite the road and on a curvewhen, with the crashing of steel anilwood and the hiss of escaping steam,

the flyer struck the smaller and Blowertrain.

Like a gigantic catapult the Limitedtelescoped the rear coach of the local,plowing through the trucks and send-ing the last three coaches off . the

tracks in twisted, splintered and brokenhulks into the ditch off the curve.

Strikes With Awful Impact

Conductor Chesbro was caught on aplatform and crushed.

"With steadfast loyalty to his com-pany's interests he notonly refused totell how and where he was hurt, butdeclined oven to give his name. This•same policy of withholding the facts

prevented a general knowledge of who

was hurt from reaching Los Angolesuntil nearly midnight.

None of the railroad employes wouldventure an opinion as to why the lim-ited passed Olendora with another trainso near, but, all agree had not the San

Bernardino train been Inmotion, thussomewhat reducing the force of theimpact, the loss of lifemust have beenfrightful.

The collision was sudden, but notso much so as to prevent EngineerBaldwin and his fireman from Jumping.

the Scotty engine No. 442, whichhauledthe famous miner to Barstow, had R.

Baldwin at the throttle and "V. 11.Chesbro conductor.
