i FORTY-NINE LOSE LIVES Steamers Crash 0ff Virginia Coast, ONE GOES T0 BOTTOM Elghty-six Survivors Rescued From tha Sea After lll Fated Vessalr Founders. Norfolk, Va., Jan. 81.—Forty-nine lives were ‘lost in the icy waters of the Atlantic when the Old Dominion liner Monroe was rammed adimships practically cut in two and sunk with- in ten minutes, twenty miles south- east of Hog island, by the Merchants and Miners’ liner Nantucket. The forty-nine lost comprised twen- ty-five passengers and twenty-four members of the crew, according to official wireless reports to the Old Dominion line here. Thirty passen- gers and fifty-five of the crew were saved, making the list of rescued eighty-five. Captain Johngon of the sunken Mon- roe and all his officers but one were among the saved. The lost officer was Second Engineer Dateley. The collision of the two vessels— one bound north the other bound south—occurred near the Winter Quarter Shoal lightship. While the Nantucket backed off, lowered boats and began sweeping the misty sea with her searchlights, the Monroe, her passengers pitched out of berths in night clothes, sank like a plummet. Goes Down in Few Moments. In the swirling vortex of the sink- ing ship men shouted and women screamed through the mist. The Mon- roe went down 80 quickly that there ‘was little time for launching boats and it 1s believed that the only refu- Bees were those saved at once by the antucket. The lost had scarcely a chance to realize that death was upon them be- fore they were struggling in the sea. The doomed passengers of the Mon- roe, fast asleep in their cabins when the two vessels came together, went down to death with only time for a shriek of dispair. Only those kept awake by the snort- ing sirens that wailed their useless warnings through the fog knew when the vessels struck. The rest, thrown from their berths by the force of the collision, heavy with sleep, had bare- 13 time to struggle to the deck of the sinking vessel before they were plunged into the water. Not ten minutes intervened between the time the blunt bow of the lumber- ing Nantucket crashed its way into the side of the Dorwinion liner and the time the latter slid under the waves. The eighty-six rescued were lifted from the icy water after thelr vessel had gone down, FEAR FOR SAFETY EXPRESSED Two Americans Probably Executed by Mexicans. San Diego, Cal, Jan. 31.—That P, ‘W. Harwood and Mortimer Miller have been slain in the mountains south of Tia Juana, Mex., by Mexican federal soldiers under the notorious “fugitive law” was the fear expressed here. . They were taken from Tia Juana ‘Wednesday by a squad of federals and have not been seen since. Mex- fcan officials assert they are en route to Ensenada for trial on charge of smuggling, but the fact that their guards carried no supplies for a long march raised doubts in the minds of officials here. Harwood is a mnewspaper reporter from Oakland. ESTATE OF OVER $100,000 Senator Cullom’s Fortune Surprises Friends. ‘Washington, Jan. 31.—Instead of dy- ing a poor man as his friends believed him to have been, the late Senator Shelby M. Cullom of Illlinois left an estate valued at more than $100,000. The senator’s will, which will be probated in Springfield,” Ill, " makes three large bequests. Miss Victoria Fisher, the former senator’s sister-in- law, who lived- with him, is left $20,- 000 and all household effects. Mrs. Eleanor 'Ridgeley Parker, granddaugh- ter, 1s given $40,000, while her sister, Mrs. Phelps Brown, is left a similar amount. LITTLE INTEREST IS SHOWN No Requests for Hearings on Anti- Trust Bills. ‘Washington, Jan. 31.—Unless there 18 a change of front on the part of the business world the administration antl-trust bills may be reported to the house practically without hear- ings. Chairman Adamson of the inter- state commerce committee said that he had no requests for a hearing on either the bill proposing the creation ‘of an interstate trade commission or the bill providing for governmental supervision over the issuance of rail- way securities. The same state of affairs obtains in the judiclary .ecommittee, which has before it the trade relations bill and the bill almed at interlocking direc- MISSOURI WINS BIG RATE CASE Shippers May ‘Recover Ex- cess Charges Paid. INJUNCTION IS DISSOLVED Court Permits Claimants of $24,000,- 000 Due From Railroads to Bring Action in Either the State or Fed- eral Courts. Kansas City, Jan. 81.—Injunctions against John T. Barker, attorney gen- eral of Missouri, preventing him-from proceeding with suits to recover $24,- 000,000 excess freight and passenger charges made by railroads while the Missouri rate cases were in litigation were digsolved in an opinion by Judge Smith McPherson filed in federal court here. i The original injunction breught by the railroads to prevent enforcement of Missourl’s 2-<ent passenger and maximum freight rate laws also was dismissed in accordance with the re- cent decision of the United States supreme court upholding the laws. In addition the court held the $10,- 000 bond put up by each railroad in 1905 when the state rate laws were enjoined has no reference to those persons who have paid excess rates or passenger fares and they can re- cover whatever is due them. “The injunction bond,” declared Judge Smith McPherson, “does not limit any person as to his recovery of overcharges.” Judge McPherson appointed Nash Adams, an attorney of this city, a master to adjudicate all . claims brought in the federal court for ex- cess charges, declaring, however, that claimants might sue for recovery of overcharges in any court they chose —state or national. The court declared it would retain Jurisdiction over only such claims as might be filed before the master for adjudication. CONVENTION IN AN UPROAR Delegate to Miners’ Meeting Calls Gompers “Booze Fighter.” - Indianapolis, Jan. 81.—“Booze fight- er” was the charge Duncan McDon- ald of Illinois hurled at Samuel Gom- pers, president of the American Fed- eration of Labor, in the miners’ con vention here. “It’s a lie!” roared Gompers, rising and shaking his fist at the Illinois delegate. That Gompers was “howling drunk” at the recent Seattle convention of the American Fuderation of Labor was McDonald's charge. Countering Gompers’ denial, made in a dramatic personal defense before the convention Thursday, McDonald, a big, fearless Scotchman, repeated his charges that Gompers and the ex- ecutive council of the American Fed- eration of Labor were “booze fighters, reactionary, fossilized and dead.” Gompers said eight of the eleven council members were total abstain- ers and admitted that he himself took & “glass of beer when the day's work was over.” Port au Prince, Hayti, Jan. 31.—The population of the capital maintained its customary calm in spite of the advance of the revolutionary army from the north and the flight of the president and his ministers. The citizens’ committee of public safety decided that the best solution of the quarrel between it and Gen- eral Vioux, chief of the port, who refused to accept dismissal from office by the committee, was to allow him to continue in his post.
