Passengers of Steamer Presi
dent Say Loss of Four Lives
Was Unnecessary
How Passenger Was Lost
F. H. Koolberger. a passenger,
describe* aa follows bow I.ea
i hum met hla death:
-He was standing at the bow
and waa washed off the star
board aide by a comber. The
steamer stopped quick, then
backed. We then, hrard his
cries on the port side. He was
near enough to throw a biscuit
to him. There were no lines or
life preservers on deck. Finally
.somebody found a bis;, heavy
hawser, but it fell short. He
waa then astern. Somebody oa
the bridge gave the order to
hack. The propeller churned
and he must have been draws
into the vortex and chopped to
pieces."
< ■•ntinued From Pace I
Uient manned the light on the bridge.
With it he located the fourth officer.
He had donned some of the life buoys
thrown to him and was floating well
cut of the water. After considerable
difficulty another boat with five men
was lowered.
ucrm went oi't
; "They started after the officer. Just
as they were well under * way the
Hunt went out. It refused to work.
The boat blundered about in the dark
ness for about 15 minutes and then
returned to the ship. I never in all
toy travels have seen such lack of
seamanship. A few handy lifelines or
bowlines and Leacham would have
been saved. Defective handling of
the small boat was responsible for its
Upsetting."
TIT TO PIECES
"When the alarm was sounded that
there was a man overboard all the
passengers were allowed to come up
on deck." said C. S. Crawford, a chem.
ical engineer, who says he will file
charges with the United States in
spectors at once. "There was great
confusion and no officer seemed to be
In charge. We searched all over for
life preservers or lines, but none could
be found.
"The steamer backed up until the
rtera nearly touched the drowning
passenger. AH the while the pro
peller was allowed to churn. (He must
have been cut to pieces.
"Then the lifeboat was lowered. The
ropes were far too short for It to
reach the water and some person cut
them. When it fell into the sea it
came down on the passenger in the
water, it Immediately overturned,
throwing all those in it into the surg
ing waters. There were seven men in
this boat. One of them disappeared
immediately, four were rescued, while
the other two floated on the water.
PASSENGER VOLI XTEERED
"These two kept calling for help to
those on the ship. We were helpless,
owing to the lack of lines or life pre
servers. Several of the passengers
shouted to lower another boat, but
those who by this time assumed
authority appeared to be unable to se
cure enough of the crew to man it.
One of the passengers volunteered.
"It was a half hour before this sec
rnd lifeboat was lowered into the
water. This was explained because no
plug could be found for the boat. All
this while we could hear the pitiful
rries of the two men in the water. By
this time they had drifted out of the
weak rays of the small searchlight
and had become lost in the darkness
of the stormy sea.
"After making an attempt to circle
the vicinity of the accident, the life
boat returned. The boat could not be
taken aboard the vessel, owing to the
Bea, and was set adrift. Had another
accident or a wreck occurred, we
■would have, been short two lifeboats,
each capable of caring for 20 passen
gers.
"I have traveled the seas for many
years, but this is the first time I have
ever witnessed such gross carelessness
on the part of the officers of a steamer.
I intend making these charges to the
Xederal authorities."
PASSEXGER OJfXY SAILOR
Van Koolberger and Crawford's
stories are substantiated by other
passengers.
"I've been to sea, so I know what
I'm talking about." said William A.
Barnes of Bellingham. "I never saw
so little preparedness. There wasn't
a real seaman aboard, with the pos
sible exception of J. Johnson, one of
the passengers. Johnson is a quarter
master, and was one of the few who
maintained his coolness. It was owing
to his presence of mind In finding
lines and throwing them to the sailors
who fell out of the first boat that
mere lives were not lost."
Dr. Ida Rosencranx, from Seattle,
was bitter in her condemnation of the
events leading up to and following
the tragedy. "I had planned to con
tinue south by water, but nothing
could make me adhere to that plan."
According to a member of the crew,
no heaving lines could be found. Sev
ereal lines, he said, were burled under
a heavy coil of rope on the stern of
the vessel.
BOAT LOWERED WROXG
"It was rank folly to lower the
boat in the manner they did. It was
lowered on the weather side and not
on the lee side. It was lowered away
aft so that the surge of the water
lifted it under the counter of the
ship. It is a wonder that all of the
crew of the first boat did not lose
their lives. The steamer is lacking in
equipment. There was no way of
suitable communication between the
bridge and the stern of the boat. That
is one reason why the propeller was
started when Leacham was near it.
There was a sad lack of co-operation.
As an illustration, the fire bell in our
quarters has been out of order for
some time. In the event of fire we
■would never hear the alarm."

that some time elapsed between the

the fact that five men were lowered
In the second boat, which went after
the mate, was not to be considered
unusual. He refused to discuss the
alleged inability to find ropes or heav

"I prefer to make my statement at
the proper time," he said.
Another passenger said that more
than 75 life preservers were thrown
overboard. They agree that the sea
was not unusually rough at the time
and that it would have been possible
to have saved all four of the missing
men with co-operation and had the
necessary lines been handy.
SHANE ALIVE, HE SAYS
F. Lamson Smith, on hi sway from
Seattle to Los Angeles, gives a de
tailed and vivid description of the
tragedy:
"I am convinced that Fourth Officer
Shane was alive and floating on the
water when the President sailed off
and left him. I base this belief on the
fact that he had donned two life pre
servers while in the water, and these
kept him floating all the time that the
crew were bungling in lowering a
boat.
"His body from the waist up was
plainly to be distinguished."
rOMPANY DECLARES
CHARGES UNTRUE
The following statement regarding
the drownings on the voyage of the
steamship President was issued by C.
D. Dunann, passenger traffic manager
of the Pacific Coast Steamship com
pany, today:
"I am sure Captain Paulson of the
steamer President did everything in
his power to rescue the passenger and
members of the crew who were unfor
tunately drowned Wednesday evening.
"It must first be remembered that
a terrific sea was running and a gale
was blowing at the rate of 60 miles
an hour. This fact caused the cap
tain to use extra precautions for the
safety of his ship first and rescue of.
a passenger second.
"Everything on board ship was made
secure when .the storm first broke.
Passengers were advised not to go on
deck because of the danger of being
washed overboard, and nets were
spread about for their protection.
"When the cry of 'Man overboard!'
was raised it was very difficult to de
termine from what part of the ship
the accident occurred. Captain Paul
son remained on the bridge, where he
must stay on all occasions, to protect
the vessel, while Fourth Officer Shane
left the wheel to direct the launching
of the boat.
"Shane was In direct charge of the
lifeboat and accompanied It into the
water. Unfortunately, he was lost
Shane was a brave man and one of
the most efficient In our service.
"While the boat was being launched
Captain Paulson backed the vessel, at
the same time protecting it in the
heavy sea and terrific gale. There Is
great danger in this undertaking, and
caution was used.
"I contradict the statement that
there was not enough life preservers
or life lines ready. This is not true.
There was plenty on hand. As far
as again securing the lifeboats for
further precaution is concerned, that
would have been foolhardy. In a sea
and gale such as they were battling
against it would have been next to
Impossible and possiblly would have
cost more lives. The first lifeboat
which was launched was not short
in its drop ropes. This did not cause
it to overturn. It was one of the
monster waves that caused this acci
dent.
"The passenger who took part in
the second rescue crew was allowed
to go into the boat because he was
a former seaman and a call for vol
unteers had been Issued. We were
not short of crew in any manner
whatever.
"When an accident like this occurs,
it always happens that a great many
of the passengers become excited.
They imagine they see defects that
don't exist. They really belonged be
low, but if the officers had insisted
they remained below, we would have
been censured for this action. It is a
most difficult situation to meet.
"Everything was done, I am sure,
for the rescue of the passenger and
the members of the crew and I think
that good judgment was used. The
waves and wind made it extremely
difficult."

THE SA3T FRANCISCO CALL; FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 28, 1913
M. D. EXPOSES THE QUACKS
FAKE METHODS ARE SHOWN
A COMPLETE exposure of the
methods employed by "men
only specialists" was given
yesterday by a doctor, who formerly
worked with concerns practicing this
kind of quackery. The name of the
doctor is, for obvious reasons, with
held. The story follows:
Before explaining the working
of these concerns, I will first,
say that most of the so called
specialists have as little concern
for a human life as any man
could have. They care not
whether a man is sick or well.
They will fasten on him some
disease to get his money, and the
number of victims gathered In
during a month's practice in this
state would be astounding.
It is the companies that have
wax figures that draws the larger
number, and it is of tnese that I
shall first deal with.
MUSEUM TO LURE IJTXOCEVT
Tou always find the museum
located in a conspicuous place.
A window display contrived to
attract the attention of the pas
serby is always arranged. A
youth, probably from the country,
probably a foreigner, happens
along. His attention is arrested
by the window display. He goes
in. His eyes are met with wax
figures, depicting some interest
ing event, or of some interesting
criminal, or again of some well
known freak.
He gazes on them and passes
along the line to the show cases.
Gradually he Is shown other
figures a little out of the ordi
nary. Suddenly he is confronted
by some awful monstrosity. His
eyes pop out. so to speak. He
looks at the next figure. He sees
a face marked with the primary
effects of a disease. His mind, by
this time, is off everything else
but the museum. He looks fur
ther and sees the progress of this
disease or that disease.
From the time the youth or
man has entered the museum he
has been watched by a well
dressed or a uniformed attendant.
If at the point where he begins to
scan closely the examples of dis
eases, he pauses longer and shows
more interest than other exhibits
the attendant, who *n the lan
guage of the "business," is called
a "fioorman," approaches and
proceeds to make himself agree
able.
He will shove a card or pam
phlet into the hands of the visitor,
explain the figures and by various
means strike up a conversation.
The visitor is taken In hand and
shown other moftels. He begins
to feel creepy and scared. The
fioorman keeps up a line of talk
dwelling upon the awful results
of certain diseases, showing these
results by the skillfully made wax
figures.
FIND OUT VICTIM'S RESOURCE!
The fioorman recounts symp
toms that appear in the primary
stages of different diseases. if
the victim is "easy," as he is re
ferred to, if he shows interest in
the floorman's advances, the latter
then proceeds to "put" him
"Hutting a victim" is finding
out how much money he has and
getting him ready to shoot up
stairs, where a "specialist" is
waiting. It is surprising how
proficient these floormen get in
finding out how much money a
victim has, or can get, and how
thoroughly scared, than can get a
"prospect." Scaring the prospect
into believing he has something
the matter with him, is referred
to as "feeding."
When the doorman has "fed"
the prospect to a point where he
begins to signify a willingness to
be "put," the victim is taken to
a room upstairs.
"SPECIALISTS"' TESTS PATIENT
It Is but a few steps to the
"doctor s" office. The imagination
of the prospect has been so in
flamed at this point that he can
feel there is something the matter
with him. He is easily led to the
reception room, where a man
called the "case taker" comes.
The case taker and the fioorman
talk with the victim or patient,
as he is now called. The patient
is asked if he does not have pains
in the back, if he sleeps well, if he
eats regularly and has food diges
tion. In fact, he is asked about
everything that might bring to
his mind some simple ailments
from which he has suffered. After
the examination by the fioorman
and casetaker, the former leaves
the room, while the latter, after
getting the name and address,
takes the patient to the specialist.
The specialist places the patient
in a position, where the light
shines full on his face, he keeping
in the shadows as much as pos
sible. The fioorman has tipped
the specialist off to Just what
little things the patient has suf
fered from as well as how much
money he has.
THEY'RE ALWAYS DISEASED
After thumping the patient the
specialist goes through a lot of
mysterious poses and passes and
finally announces to the scared
victim that he has some awful
disease. There is but one cure
for it and he has it. It will cost
$50, a $100 or $200, Just according
to the amount of money the pa
tient has or can get.
The common treatment is a
remedy which has been widely
advertised by these quacks with
out any regard for consequences.
It is given for many ailments,
for which it was never intended.
There are cases where these
specialists hay« been so cold
blooded that they have Inoculated
a patient with live cultures of
diseases that they might get the'
entire bankroll, by making the
patient actually sick.
The treatments that are most
frequently used by these quacks
are harmful and undermine the
health of strong, healthy country
boys and newcomers to this coun
try, to such an extent that they
lose their minds, health and often
die. The specialists follow none
of the sanitary precautions of the
reputable physician or aurgeon
It's get the money, regardless of
the effect of the poor unfortu
nate victim, who has been lured
to their dens.
PRAISES CALL CAMPAIGN
In case a patient gets worse,
and lias any chance of getting
more money a new "discovery"
is sprung upon him and he is
switched to another line of treat
ment. This is called "refeediiiK"
the patient.
Many of these quacks operate
under one name or company and
do their banking and other legi
timate business under another
name.
I worked for these companies
for some time and am glad to be
able to say that while l took lots
of money, I never gave a patient
anything that would <io him any
harm, though it would usually <Jo
him no good.
The Call will have done a grest
service, if in its efforts to assist
the board of medical examiners it
closes up these quack specialists.
Quacks Are Worst
Criminals, Says
Alderson
THE fellow who will take ad
vantage of the credulous
poor and unfortunate nick,
an these quacks do, Is a criminal
of the worst type. He knows
that he la engaged In a rotten
business, and the fact that hla
work Often results In Irrepar
able damage to hla victim's
health makes him doubly a crim
inal,
I am very glad The Call has
taken up this work, and I feel
that great good to the commu
nity will result.
The new medical law gives
the board of medical examiners
full power to prosecute quacks
and Irregulars In general, and
we shall carry on this work
vigorously.—Statement by Dr.
Harry E. Alderson of the state
board of medical examiners.
WESTPHAL AGAIN
FACING DIVORCE
Wife Reopens Suit Against
Scion of Rich Mill
ing Man
The divorce suit of Mrs. Abble A.
Weßtphal against Fred Westphal,
grandson of the late J. C. Westphal,
wealthy milling man, is to be re
opened in the Alameda county courts.
The first suit, filed more than a year
ago, is still pending and will have to
be dismissed before this action is
placed on file. Attorneys Willard and
Farrell of San Francisco, acting for
Mrs. Westphal. today mailed a new
complaint containing new and sensa
tional allegations to the Oakland
county clerk.
The couple were married at Santa
Cruz February 3, 1912. The husband
began beating his wife March 19 the
same year, she said. Mrs. Westphal
filed suit for divorce the following
August, but the action was dropped.
Flirtation May
Cost Man His Life
CHICAGO, Nov. 28.—Flirting with a
saloon keeper's wife may cost Wil
liam Fargo, 21 years old, of 1827 West
Huron street, his life. He was struck
on the head with a rubber hose by
John FahaJ of 1602 West Superior
street. His skull was fractured.
FahaJ was taken to the West North
avenue police station, where he ad
mitted striking Fargo. He is held on
a charge of assault with a deadly
weapon.
Spectators rushed to Fargo's assist
ance and he was carried into a drug
store. He was then taken to the
county hospital by the West Chicago
avenue police.
BURGLARS STEAL CLOTHING
Burglars entered the home of Mrs.
E. T. Reynolds, 630 Seventeenth street,
Oakland, last night and escaped with
$2 and clothing valued at $40.
TRY TO BURN COLLEGE
NEWPOHT, Kng., Nov. 28.—Suffra
gettes today tried to burn the new
training college, which cost $200,000.
The blaze was extinguished by the
wind.
STATE BOARD
ENDORSED
IN FIGHT
Continued Front Page t >
to go ahead and clear all of the bad
ones out and giving valuable Informa
tion. I want to reiterate my former
statement. The board is in this fight
to stay. We announced 'no quarter"
at the outset, and there will be no
quarter. When the last quack has
folded his tent and disappeared we
may rest, but not until then."
Men prominent in the medical pro
fession in San Francisco have come
forward with words commending the
crusade launched by the state board
of medical examiners against the
quacks in this state, and for the sup
port given the board by The Call.
Following are some of the letters
of approval received from eminent
physicians and surgeons:
* * *
Dr. T. B. W. Leland —Medical quacks
are of two kinds. The ones who lure
the ignorant boys and men to their
"parlors" and, after taking all their
money from them, kick them out, gen
erally much the worse physically for
their experience, and the ones who
prey upon women. The first are bad,
but the latter are worse. All should
be driven out of the country. If It
were possible to eliminate the "women"
specialists, one of the fountain heads
of white slavery would be removed.
In its crusade against these vultures
who rob the poor, simple minded and
distressed men and women. The Call
will have the support of every self
respecting citizen.
Dr. R. Cadwallader, assistant pro
fessor. University of California medi
cal college—There has been no pro
tection for the reputable physician
and surgeon from medical quacks.
The doctor who desires to practice in
this state must pass a stiff examina
tion, one of the severest tests in the
United States. He is taxed a high'fee
before he is admitted to follow his
profession, but, so far, this trouble
and expense have not caused him free
dom from the competition of socalled
"specialists."
County medical societies have un
der taken to free certain communities
from the impostor, but with little suc
cess. It has been demonstrated that
a crusade against these medical pre
tenders should be directed by the state.
The war started by the state board of
medical examiners will be effective.
With the support of a paper like The
Call, it will be but a matter of a short
time before the mysterious offices of
the sham doctor will be closed. They
can not stand the light of publicity.
Let every reputable follower of the
medical profession get behind this
movement to drive the quacks out of
business.
* * *
Dr. J. Y. Bartholomew —One of the
most pressing questions of our civ
ilization of today is, How are we go
ing to rid the country of these para
site specialists? A number of cases
have come to my attention in recent
years here in San Francisco of men
and boys and women who have been
attracted by the outlandish claims of
heartless practitioners and become
victims of their underhaffdedness.
There are a number of these low peo
ple making thousands of dollars in
our own community. If the state
board of medical examiners can clean
California of this blemish, Its record
of accomplishments will be overfull.
Every city of any size has one or more
of these charlatans preying upon it.
The backing of a newspaper will be
Invaluable in this campaign. All rep
utable physicians will enroll with the
board. I predict that within two
weeks the whole state will be alive
to the situation and the climate made
so unendurable for the "specialists"
that there will be an exodus.
# # #
Dr. C. F. Buckley—lf the public
could only realize what a dreadful
amount of human suffering is pro
duced by evil suggestion in medicine
there would be such sweeping laws
enacted as would make it impossible
for quackery to exist. The amount
of money gained by the pretender
from the victim is quite insignificant
compared with the amount expended
by the public for the care of their
dupes.
Dr. Albert Abrants —This condition
has existed for so long and has TTour
ished with such success that it seems
almost like a revelation that a news
paper should back up the board of
medical examiners in an honest effort

There is no man so low and so vile,
in my opinion, as the man who strikes
fear into the heart of a fellow man
and convinces him he has a horrible
disease, then turns his pocketbook
inside out, bleeds him until he is fin
ished and then turns his victim loose.
Quack specialists are common in
