Boston, Jan. 15—Thirteen ship- wrecked sallors and a negro steward- ess, the crew of the schodmer Grace Martin, which foundered _yesterday thirty miles off Matinicus Rock, were brought to port here late today b: the steamer A. W. Perry. They were picked up after they had been fossed about in an open boat for twenty-one hours, with the temperature near zero. Covered with ice, unable to direct the movements of the little craft and with but a scanty supply of food and water, the crew were almost exhaust- ed, Four were so badly frostbitten that they had to be taken to hospitals thelr arrival here. Mrs. Lorra Phillips, the stewardess, came through the ordeal in better physical condition than any of her companions, The Grace A, Martin, which left Nor- folk on January 4 with a cargo of ‘west gale off the Malne coast on Tues- day night. Under the strain of the pounding seas she began to leak dan- gerously. By early morning the weight of ice on her decks and of the water in her hold had produced & serious list Vforwud and her captain, Herbert H | Wallace of Portland, finding that she was sinking rapidly, was forced to give the order to abandon her. All the crew were heavily clothed but in the bitter weather conditions | they suffered greatly during the long | hours of their exposure. Their en- | gine had become clogged with ice and | they were trying to thaw it out, sac- | rificing _their little supply of water | in the process, when the A. W.

REPORT TO THE SENATE | Committee Which Investigated Condi- tions in West Virginia Coal District Submits Its Recommendations. ‘Washington, Jan. 135.—Governmont ownership of the great coal mines of the country as a remedy for strike dis- {urbances was recommended by Sen- ator Martine of New Jersey tod: in a report submitted to Chairman Swan- son of the senate committee which in- vestigated the West Virginia coal strike troubles. Semator Martine —charged particularly with the in- quiry regarding interference with the malls and the employment of contract labor—reported that the _evidence fatled to establish either of these con- ditions. The report attributed much of the violence and bloodshed in West Vir- | ginia to the presence of armea guards | hired by the mine operators, and rec- ommended the passage of a bill which | Senator Martine introduced in the Senato last session prohiblting the employment of armed police by pri- vate organizations. Employment of immigrant Labor. “While there was some delay in de- livering mail, owing to the strike and a general disturbed condition existing in this district,” said the senator, “I found no attempt to suppress the gen- eral mail delivery to all legitimate pa- trons of the respective postoffices of this district. The presence of armed guards, however, naturally e ter feelings, and their presence not be too strongly condemned. In many instances was found tha these guards loitered around the coal company stores, which stores consti- tuted in the same building the office of the coal company d the postoffice. “Regarding the employment of im- migrant labor in blocks or on contract from foreign countries, this, t was found impossible to establi: Though the fact was plainly brought oui that labor was hired by agents of the mine owners in the great cities of our coun- try; that the said agen*s did not tell the men so hired the whole truth of the situation at the place of destina- tion; were unable to speak or understand our language, the burden of testimony tended only to prove that the trans- portation of these men was a serious reflection on our boasted civilization. But Little Removed from, Barbarism. “God has blessed West Virginia with profiigate hand. Here, above all sec- tions, should peace, plenty and happi- ness Teign supreme. On the contrary, can- your committee found disorder, riot, Dbitterness and Dbloodshed in their stead. “In'no spirit of malice or batred, but with a view that the country through knowledge of the true conditions may right the wrong, I charge that the hir- ing of armed bodies of men by pri- vale mine owners and other corpora- tions, and the use of steel armored trains, machine guns and bloodhounds on_defenseless men and women and children is but a little way from barbarism. | Government Ownership Only Hope. “A millionaire owner of a great sec- tion of the state of West Virginia calmly admitted on the witness stand that so long as he got his per ton roy- alty he mever inquired further.

This great commodity cannot be in- creased a fraction of a pound, yet our population is multiplying by leaps and bounds each year, thereby increasing the demands for this article. We must have warmth for our bodies and_fuel with which to cook our foods. With this condition existing, and with av- arice as the dominating characteristic in man, I, at the risk of criticism by many friends and countrymen, unhesi- tatingly say that government owner- ship of the mines is the only hope or solution for those who may come after us. “These thoughts are not a dream of today, but the result of many years of thought and congideration.

St John, N. B, Jan, 15.—The light on the buoy that marks Trinity Rock, where the Royal Mall steamer packet liner Cobequid was wrecked, was out, sald her commander, Captaih John H. Hawson, who arrived here tonight on the government steamer Lansdowne, the last man to leave his ship. The fact that this important mark Wwas missing was borne out by the Canadian marine department officers here. G. H.

An announcement of it was made in the newspapers and the shipping { federation at Montreal notified. Captain Shoulders All Responsibility.
