126 SAVED FROM
WRECKED STEAMER
The Olympia, Sheathed in Ice, Is
Abandoned on the Rocks
with Hull Stove In
VESSEL MAY BE TOTAL LOSS
Boat Carrying Salvage from Her
Sister Ship, Northwestern,
That Met Similar Fate
[Associated Press]
VALDE%. Alaska, Dec. 12.—Com
pletely sheathed in ice, with a great
hole torn in her hull amidships and
■wtih from twenty-live to twenty-eight
feet of water in all her compartments,
the Alaska Steamship company's liner
Olympia lies like a stranded Iceberg
on the reef of dreary BUgh island.
Prince William sound, and is expected
to become a total loss with her cargo,
part of which had been salved from
the same company's Northwestern
•when she was sunk at False bay, Puget
sound, recently.
Of the 1:16 persons on board the
Olympia when she struck all were
saved and taken to Valdez and Kile
mar, with the exception of three mem
bers of the crew, who are standing by
the ship.
"When the Olympia left Cordova Sat
urday night after emptying her hold
of coal her stern war, high out of the
■water. Soon a furious gale hit the
steamship and her propeller revolved
in the air with every wave and her
rudder was useless. The captain saw
■what was destined to follow, but could
only wait for it. When the staunch
Glasgow-built boat struck on the reef
the hull was not injured, and the un
tiring waves hammered the Olympta
against the rocks for nearly three
hours before the steel was stove in and
the hold flooded.
Had the boat been of slighter con
struction she must have been broken
up and all her people drowned.
! OPKKATOR STICKS TO LAST
The wireless operator, George I>.
Hayes of Seattle, 24 years old, a native
of Minneapolis, sent distress messages
until the water deprived him of his
battery. After that he lay down, con
necting his receiver over his ears. At
11 a. m. Sunday he heard a message
from Cordova which said, "Two boats
leaving "Valdez. Arrive about 3."
This news revived the spirits of the
people on the ship, who noted subsi
dence of the storm hut were not sure
that relief had started to them. One
of the woman passengers, who had
been on the Northwestern when It was
stranded recently, almost collapsed
when she learned of her new misfor
tune, hut soon regained her spirits and
became as cheerful as any of her com
panions.
All the records of the United States
court which had just concluded Its
sitting at Cordova were on the Olym
pia but were saved.
The wreck was only thirty-five miles
from Valdez, which was the natural
relief point.

LOS ANGELES HERALD: TUESDAY MORNING. DECEMBER 13, 1910,
RIO UNDER SIEGE;
SHIPS SENT AWAY
Naval Guns Made Useless Before
Vessels Sail Under Se
cret Orders
[Associated Press]
RIO JANEIRO, Dec. 12.—8y order
of the government the cruiser Barroso
and the scouting ship Rio Grande do
Sul quit the harbor today for a destina
tion not announced. It is said, how
ever, that the scout ship proceeded to
Santos. ,
The Rio Grande do Sul was the only
vessel which took part In the mutiny
which began Friday night and con
tinued until the rebels were dislodged
from the barracks on Conras Island.
When the government troops occu
pied the island they met with no re
sistance, the few mutinous marines re
maining there promptly surrendering.
The larger number had been killed or
wounded or placed under arrest while
attempting to swim to the mainland.
The exact number of casualties has
not been made known. It is thought,
however, 200 rebels were killed and
twenty citizens were Injured fatally
during the scout ship's bombardment
of the city.
Late today the other vessels of the
fleet with the exception of the dread
naughts Minns Geraes -and San Paula
put to sea under sealed orders and
with government officers In command.
It is reported that the breechblocks of
the guns of the dreadnaughts are in
possession of government officials.
The chamber of deputies met today
and voted to hold the city in a state
of siege for thirty days. Member:; of
parliament, however, are immune from
the provision of the special act. The
city Is quiet tonight, but disquieting
rumors are afloat, and the fact that tho
government Is enforcing energetic 1
measures gives rise to fear in the
popular mind that the rebellious agita
tion has not been wholly stamped out.
The crews of the dreadnaughts Sao
Paulo and Minus Geraes consented to
leave the ships with their officers and
have been placed on the Island of Vll
logalnon.
The banks were opened today and
foreign exchange was stationary.
British warships are in the harbor, but
they have made no official recognition
of the trouble.
BRAZILIAN EMBASSY DENIES
THAT 7 VESSELS MUTINIED
Foreign Minister Sends a Cable
gram to Correct Reports
WASHINGTON, Dec 12— To correct
conflicting reports regarding the recent
mutiny In Rio de Janeiro, the Rrazllian
embassy here today furnished the [
press the text of a cablegram from Rio •
Branco, Brazilian minister of foreign
affairs.
In substance this denies the accuracy
of statements published In London
that the mutiny involved the crews of
all the seven men-of-war in the harbor.
As a mnttrr 'if fact, the table says.
It affected only the soldiers of tho
marine barracks in the- fortress (in the
island of Cobra and several sailors of
tho scout cruiser Rio Grande.

1910 WORST YEAR
FOR U. S. FRAUDS
Trusts Keep Department of Jus
tice Busiest. Attorney
General Reports
\VASHINOTON. Dec. 12.—The an- 1
nual report of Attorney General Wlck
ersham presented to congress today is
one long story of frauds against the
government.
Trusts, so called and real, their al
leged conspiracies to defeat the law;
land frauds, custom frauds, frauds on
the ..internal revenue, rebates, bucket
shops and fraudulent uses of the malls
have made 1910 the most strenuous
ye;ir in the history of the> department
of justice.
Prosecution for violations of the
anti-trust law were foremost in the
work of the year. Actions, says the
attorney general, are now under way
or pending against the following so
called trusts: Tobacco trust, Standard
Oil company, sugar trust, Harriman
lines, hard coal trust, power trust,
Terminal Railway association of St.
Louis, towing trust on the great lakes,
.Tames A. Patten and others for an al
leged corner in cotton, beef trust,
wholesale grocers' trust, butter and
egg trust, brick trust and bath tub
trust.
Most extensive of all frauds against
the government yet discovered are
those In the undervaluations of im
ports into the United States. The ex
tent of the treasury losses can only
he conjectured. Every step of the in
vestigation shows freah leads.
Prosecutions against the Oregon &
California Railroad company and forty
five other defendants to recover 2,300,
--000 acres of lands valued at $50,000,000
which the government claims am il
legally held, are now pending. There
are also under way twenty-four suits
against the Central Pacific Railway
company and others to recover thou
sands of acres of valuable lands, which
the government contends were illegally
patented, probably with the private
knowledge that they were valuable for
the mineral and oils underneath.

SIXTEEN BILLIONS
PLACED IN BANK
Wonderful Showing of Prosperity
Made in Report of Comp
troller of Currency
[Associated Tress]
WASHINGTON, Dec. Another
year of prosperity and solid growth
for the banks of the United States Is
recorded in the annual report of the
comptroller of the currency, present
ed to congress today. •
Not only the national banks, which
come directly under the control and
supervision of the currency bureau, are
Included in the review of banking con
ditions, ■ but state banks, savings
banks, trust companies and other fi
nancial institutions— 15.000 others
—are represented.
During the fiscal year 1910, the com
bined resources of the 7000 national
banks of the United States grew to
approximately $1.0110,000,000. On Sep
tember 1 last, their loans and dis
counts had reached $5.400,000—an
amount never before equaled In the
history of the national banking sys
tem since its creation In 1864. At the
same time, they were counting nearly
$30,000,000 of overdrafts in their as
sets, a practko which there Is no law
to stop.
FHiIRES SHOW INCREASE
Combining all other banks in the
United States and its possessions, with
those of the national system, and al
lowing an estimate tor those not re- |
ported, it is evident from the comp- |
trotter's report that the banking power j
of the nation has grown in the last i
ten years from 13.977 of all sorts of
hank's, with a capital of $1,150,000,000, j
and individual deposits of $7,658,000,- j
000, to mUre than 27,000 banks with a
cojnblned capital close to $2,000,000,000,
and Individual deposits of nearly $16,
--000,000,000. The deposits have more
than doubled In little more than a dec
ade, and in tho same time the com
bined loans and discounts have grown
to more than $12,000,000,000.
The New York Clearing House as
sociation represented 60 per cent of the
clearings of all associations of the
country and during the current year
has reached $102,00,0.000,000, some $3,
--000.000,000 greater than in 1909.
For those enormous transactions
balances of only little more than $4,
--000.000.000 were used.
Four actual national hank failures
marked the year. Final settlement
of the affairs of eighteen insolvent
banks was made, in which depositors
received nearly 86 per cent. These
administrations were made at an aver
age cost of about 5 per cent on the
collections.
The net earnings of the 7000 na
tional hanks during the year were
more than $154,000,000, from which divi
dends of $105,000,000 were paid—at tho
rate of more than 10 per cent on their
capital.
