Shipping Reported in
Distress as High Tides
Wreck Homes; Storm
\ Moving Inland
*. ' " "J-1" ■■’JT
(»y The Asvciated Press.)
SAN FRANCISCO Calif. Feb. 3-
Wind. rain and snow continued today
I to harrass the entire western coast
from Seattle to San Diego. Many lives
ware at shake much property has been
damaged and shipping is badly disrupt
ed as a result of the furious assaults of
the winds which bore down out of the
Aleutian northwest yesterday.
tAt sea a dozen <?r so large ships were
menaced by the storm. Many smaller
craft were land lathed in gales which
in some places reached a velocity of 8C
miles an hour.
Chief among the ships in danger
early today were the sailing schooner
Ecola b^und from Portland Oregon
to Shanghai with the unlucky number
of 13 persons aboard. These were Cap-
tain Reiner Patterson and his wife and
a crew of 11. Wh^n the ship *vas blown
from its course a tug took it in tow
and got it as far as Fort Bragg about
170 miles north of here last night. The
tow line broke and the motorship Noyc
took the Ecola In tow. The line again
broke and the Noyo and two other
ships at latest advices were standing
by hoping to get another line to the
vessel or save the crew.
Drive Ships to Port
In danger but perhaps less serious-
ly situated was the clipper ship Indi-
ana in distress with a movie company
of fifty aboard off the coast of Sou-
sS them California. Barring higher seas
f og winds it is expected the vessel will
be towed in today. The ship was being
used to make pictures for Metropolitan
Pictures Inc. Among those aboard was
Joseph Schildkraut noted actor.
Another ship in difficulty was the
eteamer Wilhelmina 250 miles out of
JSan Francisco enropte from Honolulu.
J3he radioed last nights he was in a 70-
inile wind with the storm showing no
signs of abating. No call for help was
made.
The pounding winds late yesterday
tore from her moorings the lightship
San Francisco off the Golden Gate and
jdrove back to harbor many other ves-
sels that ventured across the bar.
While winds the highest recorded in
years played havoc at sea wind and
water combined to bring d^truction on
land. Residents of Las Tunas Beach
were mtarking time for fear another
Itigh tide might wash away more horres
to follow the twenty that have gone
into the sea in the last two days. The
storm that took the houses cost the
lives mi two sailors.
) Portland Reports Damage
Storm warnings are posted along the
Southern coast where the heaviest rain
in years has been falling as far as San
Diego. Ships are hovering in San Ped-
ro harbor waiting better weather. Many
small ships were buffeted and driven
to shore at Venice.
Portland reported early today that
the storm in the northwest had moved
inland and that damage from high
winds was reported from the Columbia
river south to the California line. At
Albany Ore. numerous fires broke
out power lines wereg rounded and old
fashioned oil lamps and candles were
used for light.
Three small fires resulted at Salem.
Corvallis and Eugene were plunged in-
to darkness. In the latter place eleven
fire alarms were turned in in a period
of 35 minutes. Windows were blown
in and automobiles turned over at
Grants Pass.
In the higher altitudes snow was
taking place of rain. All the major
peaks of the Sierras and many of those
of the coast ranges were white tipped
today.
The forecast for tomorrow is more
rain and snow inland with some abate-
ment of the wind. The weather man is
not promising but is expecting a letup
after that.

SEEK HIGHWAY
TO MATAMOROS
Toll Road Flans Pre-
sented to Tampico
Business Men
Following reports from Tampico of
plans to start construction work soon
on the toll road from that city to some
point on the Texas border “Hidalgo
or Hataijtqros" representatives of the
Brownsville and Matamoros chambers
of commerce yesterday took immediate
action to assure this road for Mata-
moros.
The secretary of the local chamber
met with members of the Matamoros
chamber in that city yesterday a*„er-
noon and telegrams were sent to the
Chamber of Commerce at Tampico to
Governor Gil and other Mexico offi-
cials and further action will be taken
if necessary. It may be thut a com-
mittee of Brownsville and Matamoros
citizens will go to Mexico City t.o call
on President Calies. and will also call
on former Governor Haskell of Okla-
homa promoter of the toll road project.
The plans for the road and for the
financing of it have been placed before
the Tampico Chamber of Commerce by
former Governor Haskell. These plans
provide for a dirt road from Tampico
to the border of Texas and from Tam-
pico to Pachuca where the road will
join the hard-surfaced highway being
constructed by the federal government
of Mexico.
Where necessary the road will be
hard-surfaced according to the plans
in order to insure a good all-year road
as the tourist and business traffic over
the road is expected to be heavy.
The road is expected to follow more
or less the route of the present road
from Tampico north to the border ac-
cording to the plans.
Contract on the road will probably bo
let as soon as the plans are approved
by the Chamber of Commerce at Tam-
pico it was announced.
The plans call for patrols along the
road to protect travelers and for tele-
phones at frequent intervals service
stations and hotels to occmmodatc
tourists.

ATLANTA NEGRO BARBER
(By The Associated Press)
ATLANTA Ga. Feb. 3.--^Numerous
protests faced Mayor Wgdter Simms
today as he had before him for veto
\ or approval an ordinance passed Mon-
day which would prohibit negro bar-
bers from serving white persons.
The chamber of commerce informed
the mayor if he signed the resolution
they would seek an injunction against
its enforcement. The Methodist lay-
men's regional conference declared in
resolutions it was “unworthy of white
citizens to discriminate against col-
ored people to whom we ought to b<?
just and helpful to the limit of our
| ability in guaranteeing the life
I liberty and pursuit of happiness.”
The Georgia Manufacturers’ associ-
ation also disapproved the measure.

Lewis Says Coal Opera-
tors Have Lock-Out;
Charge is Denied
PHILADELPHIA. Pa. Feb. 3.—Fail-
ure has marked the latest effort to end
the long drawn out anthracite strike.
Hopes of a settlement of the strug-
gle which has caused an unprecedented
shortage of hard coal and idleness and
suffering ambng 158000 miners since
September 1 vanished when a confer-
ence of miners ami operators ended in
disagreement last night. It was the
third conference since the strike began.
Each side blamed the other. John L.
Lewis president of the United Mine
Workers said the situation no longer
was a strike but a lockout. Major W.
W. Inglis chairman of the operators ne-
gotiating committee said that Mr. Lewis
had rejected everything. 'We shall
submit our proposals to our employe?
and to the people of the anthracite re-
gion and ask them to judge of the fair-
ness of our course" Major Inglis added.
He would not elucidate this statement
but referred to the “blind determina-
tion of Mr. Lewis to impose his will on
us our.employes and the people of this
country.”
