New York, Sept. 9.—Vivid descrip- tions of the A marine phenomenon which caused the destruction of the United States armored cruiser Mem- phis with the loss of about forty of her crew, in the harbor of Santo Domingo on August 29, were given today by witnesses of the disaster who had arrived on the steamer Iroquois. The conjecture that the disaster was the result of an undersea eruption was strengthened by assertions that nothing resembling a gale accom- panied the sudden disturbance. The theory that the big seas which tossed the 15,000-ton warship on the rocks w caused by an undersea shock transmitted from a disturbance on the preceding day at Dominica, British West Indies was advanced by Captain De Booy, of the American In- dian Heye Foundation, an eye witness of the catastrophe. This theory, said Captain De Booy, is borne out by the fact that Dominica. lies east-southeast of Santo Domingo and the seas threw the Memphis in a west-northwesterly direction ashore. “The strange he, “was absolutely perience of all cluding the natives customed they are to outbursts of tropical storms. It had been blowing a hurricane from the southeast for two days, but on the morning of Aus. seas were calm and there was no wind. Then the sea became sud- denly turbulent. The roadstead be- came an angry mass of foaming waves in which no small craft could live. “As the fury of the marine distur- bance increased, the Memphis was seen to be dragging her anchor and gradually being driven ashore. Finally a wave that seemed larger than any that had preceded it, lifted up the warship, held her on its summit for a moment and then dashed her down on a submerged reef within 200 yards of dry land. From the after ventila- tors of the cruiser was pouring a cloud of steam. Immense waves were still breaking over her, some of them as high as the tops of her funnels, and the Memphis was shoved ashore un- til she was only fifty yards away. An improvised breaches buoy was put in operation and the men on the wrecked ship were brought ashore, some ot them turribly burned from explosion of her boilers.” phenomenon,” said new to the ex- who beheld it, in- of the island, ac- City Items Attorney D.

PLAN T0 CONTINUE RELIGIOUS SCHOOL | Scope of Training Gourse Here to Be Enlarged way for the winter sessions of the New Britain Training school for religious teachers that opens the second year of its work in the chapel of the First church early next month. The work last year proved successful both from the help it gave to Sunday school teachers and in the number of that enrolled in the courses that offered, that the City Board of Religi- ous Education that has charge of the school plans this year to enlarge the work. Last year, the courses offered covered one year's work out of a three year course. This year the work of- fered will be for years one and two. The courses to be offered this year are follo Old Testament His- tory; a study of the Prohhets; a study of the History of people who lived contemporaneous to the Old Testa- ment people; The geography of the Holy lands; a survey of the New Test- ament with a discussion of some prob- lems involved for the teacher; a gen- study of the human mind and thes processes of religious developmént; a study of the religious experiences and conceptions of the child; fundamental principles of moral and religious edu- cation; apd the principles and meth- ods of learning and teaching. Among the instructors secured are the following: Professor Edward Everett Nourse, of the Hartford School of Religious Pedagogy, Rev, Warren F. Cook, minister of the Methodist church who has had special training in religious education, Rev. Henry W. Maier, pastor of the First church, Rev. Franklin Thompon edu- cational director of the South church, who has taken special work in Colum- bia university in religious education, Rev. G. W. C. Hill, pastor of the South church, and Rev. E. T. Thienes, educa-"' tional director of the First church. It is planned to begin the work of both terms with a rally and popular meeting with a special speaker of prominence and authority in the fields of relgidus education. The speak- er has not been definitely secured for the opening meeting of the fall ala though there are two or three men under consideration. The speaker of the mid-winter rally is Rev. Milton S, Littlefield of New York one of the most versatile and prominent Sunday school workers in the country. Rev. Mr. Littlefleld was in New Britain twa years ago and made such an {mpres. sion that the board has secured hii services for the mid-winter rally. Ths prospects for a successful winter fog the school seem to be very bright. SERGEANT PRIOR IN FORLORN HOPE FIGHT In War Manoeuvers He Leads His Men Into Battle—Few Return Plans are well under fall and people were (Special Correspondence by J. F. Con- ners.) < Fort Huachuca, Arizona, Sept. 2.— News from the outside world to the effect that Secretary of War Baker ig preparing measures to muster the mi- litiamen from the federal service and send them back home has sifted even to this out of the way place. It is re- ceived with mingled feellngs of re- gret and pleasure. There is not one of the men who will be overjoyedat the prospects of returning back to his home and friends, yet when this ccmes there is hardly one but wha will feel a genuine sense of regret af leaving behind the life in camp. The thought that the camp fire, the camp friendships. the free life of the open, and other things that they have grown to enjoy during the past three montHs, will be left forever is one that leaves some fecling of regret. But no offi- cial word to this effect has been res ceived and until the papers, duly signed, scaled and witnessed are re- celved there is no need for us to get unduly excited.
