SAN FRANCISCO. Aug. 25 - (By
U. P.)—All of the small boats have
put off from the sinking steamer
Canadian Importer, according to a
radiogram to the marine department
of the San Francisco chamber of
commerce, received shortly before
8:30 a. in. today. One boat load is
missing.
The wreck was located 625 milei
southwest of Columbia river,
j No additional details were given.
I The message simply said :
I "There is seventeen feet of water
| in our engine room and we are sink-
committing ^he Cordova steamed full speed
for the sinking vessel. When sh«
arrived one lifeboat had already
pulled away into the darkness and
could not be found. The remainder
of the crew were taken aboard tha
rescue ship.
It is not known here how many
men the Canadian Importer carried.
The missing lifeboat was believed
.j have held about forty. There
were no known passengers on the
vessel.
The Canadian Importer left Van-
couver, B. C., August 9 for Mel-
bourne, Australia. She is believed
to have stopped at several- ports on
Puget Sound to complete her cargo,
which would account for her not be-
ing further along on her Journey.
SEATTLE. Wash.. Aug. 25.--Her
hold filling with water from some
unknown cause, the Canadian gov-

porter sank early today off the Wash-

reports received by the Seattle har-
bor department.
Part of the wrecked vessel's crew
was taken aboard the Seattle steam-
ship Cordova which rushed to the
rescue in response to wireless calls
for help.
One lifeboat loaded with members
of the creW is reported missing and
wireless stations all along the Pac-
ific coast have flashed marines to be
on the lookout for the craft.
At 8 p. m. Wednesday the position

DENISON, Texas. Aug. 26.—No
trace of the two bandits who held
up the Katy Flyer, crack M. K. & T.
train between here and Bells shortly
after midnight today, had been found
early today, according to the sher-
iff's office here.
Varied reports that the loot ob-
tained by bandits In the spectacular
robbery of the Katy Flyer near here
last night ranged from nothing to
$400,(100.
It was Impossible to confirm any
of the reports.
Railroad officials, however, stated
they did not believe that the bnndlta
obtained any big sum. It was
claimed that three or four s«cks of
mall were opened and parts of the
contents dumped into one sack,
which the robbers made away with.
Postofllce Inspectors declared that
the amount of loot would not be
known until a complete check had
been made. This will take several
di\y .
With postofllce authorities refus-
ing to make any statement, it was
not known whether the bandits ob-
tained any loot.
A deputy sheriff declared that the
men, after binding and gagging the
mall clerks, failed to And any valu-
ables and left the train without any
loot.
A report received by the superin-
tendent's office of the railroad here
declared that one bandit who alight-

WASHINGTON. Aug. 25.—(By U.
P.)—An emergency appeal to the war
department for 1,000 federal soldiers
to keep 5,000 armed coal miners from
entering the Mingo and Logan coun-
ty, West Virginia, coal fields, was
made today by Governor Morgan,
West Virginia.
Morgan warned that 5,000 men are
gathered at Marmot. W. Va., 12 miles
from Charleston and that they are
moving on the coal fields in the two
counties.
The miners' army is equipped
with rifles, revolvers and machine
guns, the governor said.
Officers have been disarmed, tele-
phone lines torn down and telephone
repairmen flred upon and traihs have
been commandeered to carry many of
the miners, the governor said.
He declared the state cannot cope
with the situatiou. The legislature
being out of session, the governor
said he found himself powerless to
concentrate the number of men re-
quired to restore and maintain order.
Assistant Secretary of War Wain-
wright said that orders had gone to
the fifth army corps headquarters at
Indianapolis to have troops in readi-
ness to respond to an order from the
president to take charge of the dis-
turbed area in case federal interven-
tion is decided upon.
Upon being informed of the threat-
ened war, Senator Kenyon, Iowa, an-
nounced he would call a meeting of
the senate committee investigating
the Mingo county situation to deter-
mine what action should be taken.
The committee may go to the coal
fields to conduct a first hand inves-
tigation.
Wainwright immediately placed
Morgan's appeal before President
Harding. A proclamation of martial
law is necessary Jiefore federal
troops move.
Plans are also being made by
Wainwright to rush two army officers
to the area of threatened hostilities
to make an Investigation.
Brig. Gen. H. H. Holtz and Col.
Stanley H. Ford have been ordered
to proceed there at once. If the trip
is made by plane, the officers will
reach there late today.
Major C. F. Russell of the Fifth
army corps area, is now in the Mingo
county region, and a report from
him is awaited.
