COLLISION MYSTERY IS AT LAST SOLVED Vessel That Crashed With Yo« Semite Proves to Have Been British Freighter HE identity of the mysterious steamer that was in collision April 17 with the steam schooner Yosemite . was es tablished yesterday when a cablegram was received at the Merchants exchange from London an nouncing the arri val at Guaymas of the British steamer Strathtay in a bad ly damaged condi tion. The Strathtay arrived at Guay mas April 23 and, according to the cable from London, me icseraite treated the British tramp pretty roughly. Several of the Strath tay's plates are bent or broken, the bulwarks and 'Jecks are damaged and some of the steamer's boats were crushed. The collision occurred about four miles off Hueneme during a dense fog. The captain of the Yoscmite reported that he had been in collision with the tanker Lansing. The latter proved an alibi, so the blame was transferred to the Roma. Th« Romas innocence was established and the Pectan and Santa Maria likewise showed up with '.un dented hulls. The people on the Yose mite adopted, the alibis" and explana tions, but were still sure that it was an oil tanker with which they were in collision. The cablegram from Lon don solved the mystery and shows that the Britisher suffered to a greater extent than the Yosemite. The identity of| the steamer that ran into the barkentine Kohala April 25, about 12 miles south of the Farallones, has not yet been established. AVI 1 1 Be launched Saturday The first steel steamer ever built in the city of Oakland will be launched Saturday evening when the Coalinga slides from its cradle in Moore '& Scotfs shipyard at the foot of Adeline street into the waters of the estuary. Not only is the Coalinga Oakland's first steel steamer but it was built in record time. The keel was laid just seven months ago. The Coalinga, built by Moore & Scott for the Associated oil company, will be christened by-Miss Elizabeth Orrick. The launching will take place at 6:15 p.m. The Coalinga was built to carry bulk oil and was designed for bay and river service. The new tanker is 200 feet long, 38 feet beam and its molded .lepth is 13 feet 6 inches. It will be able to carry 7,500 barrels of oil with a draft of 10% feet. The Coalinga will be- a single screw vessel and the machinery will be steam driven, the engine (of the compound. inverted cylinder type) working at 160 pounds pressure. In vitations to witness the launching have been issued to about 1,000 guests. Captain nadgrcr Weds Berkeley Girl Walter C. Badger, master of the fctandard oil company's eteamer Atlas, was married Tuesday evening to Miss Ethel B. Metcalf at her aunt's home in Berkeley. Rev. Doctor Eastman of the Berkeley Presbyterian church per formed the ceremony and J. C. Rohlfs, manager of the Standard oil company's marine department in this city, was best man. Captain Badger has "been in the Standard oil service for 16 years and is one of the best known master mariners on the coast. Mr Jainm Mills Cumins This Way Sir James Mills, managing director of the Union steamship company of Australia, will be a passenger on the liner Mariposa, which is due May 13 from Tahiti.

OIL FIELD LINE REDUCES ITS FARE Concession Affects Men Inter* ested in the Developments Reached From Bakersfield [Special Dispatch to The Call] BAKERSFIELD. April 27.— An an nouncement of considerable interest to men interested in the west side oil fields was. made today by the officials of the Sunset Western railroad, who have reduced the passenger fare be tween Bakersfiela and west side towns about 20 per cent. It is not known whether the fact that the t?anta Fe company has closed all of the options it has been holding on the Kern bluffs indicates that the com pany is satisfied with the prospects. In addition to the" properties already secured by the English syndicate sev eral days ago there is the purchase of the Fish land in section 20-28-2 S. The price of this is said to have been $1,500 per acre. Forty acres in the northeast quarter of section 35-32-23 have been sold for $1,500 per acre. The Santa Fe's new well in 25-32-21. which is making about 1,000 barrels a day, is believed to have developed a larger gusher area than was previously thought to exist. An oil company organized by former.- Mayor E. E. Schmitz of San Francisco and other city capitalists was attacked at night by rival claimants and ths rig and buildings reduced to kindling wood." This outfit was located on 33-32-24, which is a railroad section and ad joins the section on which the famous Lakeview gusher is situated. Although the gas flow in the Lake view seems exhausted the oil still pours out of the well in about the same quantity. This is the torty-secoml day of its flow. .-;- Mining has always been the tradi tional Industry* of Mexico because of the rapidity with which fortunes were made. The recent depressions in this industry have brought agriculture to the fore. The megaphone hast been used at some western army posts for the pur pose of amplifying the volume of the bugle, where it is desired that the calls shall , be heard at a distance greater than the sound will carry under ordi nary circumstances.
