PAGE FOUR SINKING SHIP SENDS OUT CALLS FOR HELP TWO REPORTED IN DISTRESS ON Wiy GE UN Liner 200 Miles Away Speeding to Lend Assistance i SEATTLE, Wash., Jan. 4. A message reporting the sending vessel to be sinking but giving no clue to the identity of the vessel was picked up by the Seattle Harbor Radio station today. Tl>e message wan believed to have come from the Kiyosei Mara, or the Steamship Harold Dollar. Tha Kiyosei and the Dollar ar*re •aid to be tn about the tarne posi tion. each in the Pacific ocean about 1.000 mles off tbo coast of Wash ington. and each to l>e in distress. The message caught by the Har bor Radio station follows: “Leaking badly. Rudder chain broken. Sinking condition. In Immediate need help. Empress of Russia 200 miles away. Longitude 174:10 east.” EAN FRANCISCO. Calif.. Jan 4 Two ships are tn distress near the middle of the Pacific ocean, where a storm Is raging, according to radio advices teceived by the Feder al Telegraph company here early today from the Steamship President Cleveland. The Japanese steamer Kiyosei Mara is disabled with a broker, steering engine chain in lat itude 49:41 north, and 171:15 east, and the Harold Do'lar. of the Dol lar steamship lines is adrift with a broken steering gear in ths same vicinity, the adviceu stated. The liner Empress of Russia la 1 rushing to the assistance of the Kiyosei Mara, which la a steel screw • vessel of 3,728 net tons. Details of the accident which ha* 1 disabled the Harold Dollar which has a tonnage of 2.523 and is equip ped Fitb wireless, have not been received. Neither ship carried pas- 1 ■engers. The Kylosei Mara sailed for Van eouver from Kobo, via Yokohama on December 14. The vessel foi xnerly was the Can Robertson, and was constructed in England. The Harold Dollar sailed from Portland, bound for Yokohama or December 13. Both vesaels are freightera p.&HSieer WILL BLMOVED Decision has been made to move the office of the chief engineer of the Producers & Refiners corpora tion here to Denver. The change is to be effected the latter part of next week, according to a statement from the P. & R. There has recently been much talk of concentrating the Producers or ganisation either in Cheyenne ot Denver. The present transfer may be the first move In shifting the ma jor part of the organization. Since the Kasomlng OH company which is controlled by the Prairie Oil A Gas company as is also the Producers & Refiners, has its headquarters In Cheyenne, it was thought that prob ably that city would be selected. However, the going of the chief en g'neer to Denver points toward fur ther transfers to Die same place un less the Prairie can be prevailed upon to keep the Producers organiza tion In Casper.
