Nolan Shoots and Kills Himself in Offices of the Mutual Brewing Company of St. Ixniis. St. Louis, Nov. 24. P. II. Nolan, brewer promoter of New York, Pitts burg, Philadelphia, Milwaukee and St. Louis, shot and killed himself in the offices of the Mutual Brewing com pany here last night. This afternoon he was to have tes tified in an involuntary bankruptcy proceeding against the Brewery com r any of which he was chief organizer, vice-president and general manager. Nolan had organized Mutual Brew ing companies in New York and Pitts burg. He also was editor of the Liquor Trades Gazette published at New York. The recent partial loss of his eyesight, friends say, caused a decline in his business ability and thereby led to the financial troubles on account of which they believe he ended his life. 21 9 Asylum St., Hartford inofeums THE BEST OF ILL This is the season for laying linoleums and our advice to you is to have yours laid NOW before it is too cold, before it is impossible to han dle linoleum rTght.

Forty-three survivors and fifteen dead from the wrecked coasting steamer Hanalei which went ashore yesterday on Dux bury Reef near here had been ac counted for at 10 a. m. today. Of these thirty were towed ashore by life lines or struggled through the smother of surf by their own strength and thirteen were carried aboard the revenue cutter McCulloch. The fif teen dead also were on the McCul loch. As the vessel had sixty-two persons aboard, all told, the list of dead and living left but four unaccounted for. Three Variously Reported. These figures did not include, how i er. five men of the Fort Point Liio Saving crew, San Francisco, who were swamped last night. Two of these, were known to have come safe ashore, but the remaining three were various ly reported as aboard the McCulloch and among those cast adrift when the Hanalei broke up. They could not be counted with any certainty among either the dead or the living-. The Hanalei broke up early today after pounding on the reef nearly 24 hours. Some of the fragments washed far enough in shore to en able those clinging to them to make a fight for their lives. The ordinary apparatus of life saving was power less against distance, fog and a break ing sea. Oil from the fuel tanks of the smashed ship coated the sea and made slimy the rocks of the beach, adding to the difficulties of the rescuers. Vessel Struck Yesterday. San Francisco, Nov. 24. The steam schooner Hanalei, ashore on Duxbury Reef, broke in two just before dawn today with fifty-eight souls aboard. Eighteen persons were rescued, in cluding Captain I. I. Carey of the Hanalei. There seemed small hope for any others. Duxbury Reef is , at the end of a deep narrow channel running north from San Francisco harbor along the very edge of the cliffs. Big and little i boats follow it in and out to avoid a big welter of shoal , water known as the "Potato Patch," which begins just beyond the channel and runs for miles to sea. In clear weather it is easily navigated. The hanalei went ashore in a dense fog. Ran Ashore In Fog. The schooner, which had been pounded by the surf since yesterday noon, when she ran ashore in a fog, went all to pieces. Her bow, which hung over the reef and had been twisted to a right angle, slid into the water and drifted to within one hun- j ored yards of the beach. The five persons who first came ashore, swam from this wreckage. A few more hours would have saved every soul aboard. An hour would have saved many. After all hope had been given up ashore and on board the wreck, the sixth line fired by the Gid den Gate Park life saving crew under Captain Norman Nelson went over the vessel. A breeches buoy was rigged, and then the line parted. Almost im mediately thereafter the Hanalei broke apart amid cries which rose above the thunder of the surf. Plfforts to take off the passengers and crew from shore began late yes terday after a dozen vessels had tried to reach her and were prevented by fog and surf. Lines Fell Short. The Fort Point Life Saving crew from the beach fired lines which fell short, until in desperation they double-charged their mortar and it burst. An effort to launch a boat from the Hanalei failed and a passenger was drowned. A sailor tried to swim ashore with a line, and men on the beach could see his arm swing above the waves; but at the line of breakers he sank and his body drifted out tc sea. A passenger, Elwood Schwerin of Berkeley, Cal., took a line and got ashore, but the line became unfastened as he swam. One other man, it was reported, also IF YOU NEED A MEDICINE, YOU SHOULO HAVE THE BEST Although there are hundreds of preparations advei-tised, there is only one that really stands out pre-eminent as a remedy for diseases of the kid neys, liver and bladder.

The captain reached shore and the remaining five men got aboard the Hanalei. Two later were washed off and drowned and there seemed no hope for any rescue. Passengers Become Desperate. At 2 o'clock in the morning the Golden Gate Life Saving crew with a larger mortar appeared. Through the enterprise of a local newspaper it had been ferried across San Fran cisco Bay, loaded on a mortar truck and sent ten miles over mountain roads. It began to shoot lines toward the wreck as the tide rose. After the third shot the water was waist deep on the schooner, and the wire less operator, who was sending with an improvised outfit held in one hand, reported that the passengers were des perate. "We will get ashore as best we can," he reported. "We cannot stay here." But they dared not trust the waves. Ofterator Sends Urgent Appeal. "Try once more. Hurry! Hurry!" called the operator a little later. The Hanalei was a wooden vessel of 666 tons, built for the Hawaiian sugar trade in 1901 and later diverted to coastwise traffic, running between San Francisco and Eureka. She left Eureka Sunday. She was owned by the Independent Steamship company. Night of Heroiic Efforts. The steamer went to pieces after a night spent in heroic but futile efforts by persons on shore to fit up a line to vessel by which the passengers and crew could be removed from danger. Those on board kept up their courage to the last, and it "was not until Ihe hull parted across the rocks, where she had balanced since yesterday morning that they leaped into the wa ter and fought toward the signal tires which burned on the beach. A large portion of the hull, with a spar protruding from it, wallowed toward shore on the combers, and to it many human beings clung desper- ately. Searchlight Rigged Up. A searchlight had been rigged up on top of a bluff and by . its rays swimmers were aided in avoiding the heavy timbers adrift and in heading toward shore. When the hulk Avas within 300 feet pf shore it . struck a :jub mcrged rock and heeled over. All those who had been hanging to the spar or the bits of rigging were washed off. A, few still clung to the hulk, however, as it was wrenched free from the rock and continued to drift shoreward. Finally a wave threw it so high upon the sand that life savers were able to assist the few half drowned men. Picks Up Survivors. The revenue cutter McCulloch, which had been standing by the Hana lei since yesterday sent a wireless message saying she, had picked up a boat load of survivors from the wrecked steamer. Captain Alger of the McCulloch asked that the revenue cutter Golden Gate be sent with doc tors, nurses and emergency hospital equipment as the survivors were in a bad way. C. E.' UNION SOCIAL.

WALKER EL PRATT HIGHLAND COUNTRY CLUB IS BURNED (Continued from First Page.) immediately started to light it," Miss Donahue said to a Herald reporter as she snatched a moment from di recting the disposition of the furnish- ings to tell her story. We did the best we knew how and telephoned for the firemen. But it was no use. The flames got the better of us and we were forced to give up. You ee we first tried to save the building. Then when we saw We could not do that we began to get the furniture out. The neighbors were very kind to us and many joined in our work. At last we were forced out by the heat." Miss Donahue's recital of her part in fighting the fire showed her mod esty and self-depreciation. Ml Don ahue did not tell of how she stayed at the telephone calling for help on everyone within reach until the flames drove her into the open. Financial Ioss $r0,000. It was stated this afternoon that the financial loss will total about $50,000. Several of the club mem bers lived tnere the year round and these lost most of their personal he longings. The loss on the building is partly covered by insurance. The Highland Country club is one of the most exclusive organizations in the state.
