Two stewards were killed by the ergsh and two other persons were in- Jured. ‘The killed and injured were asleep im the bow of the ship when she struck. Virtually all the passengers were awake, but, although there were more than 500 women and children, aboard; there was little’ excitement and no panic. That the Grampian did not su‘fer the fate of the Titanic, with consider. able loss of life, is believed to have been: due to the decision of the vap- tain to strike the iceberg bow on, in- stead of taking a glancing blow on the side, The berg, which was very large, was encountered forty-five miles off Gape Race in the early evening. When it was sighted through the fog it was too late to clear it, although the “hip was proceeding slowly. The course was changed and the Grampian struck the ice mountain squarely head on. The entire fore of the ship was smashed in above the water-line, the stem being, driven back nearly forty The vessel was undamagéd below the water-line, however, as the portion of the berg which struck proved to be an over- panging shelf. It was found that the liner was tak- feet. ing no water and she was headed here, steaming through the night against a heavy gale which caused anxiety among those aboard, When the Grampian ayrived mariners said she was the most “berg beaten” ship that’ ever*came to this port.

LAND IN NINE CELLS: eet si te Shocked, but Pacific Coast Beauties Are More So After Arrest. | Nine pretty girls stepped out from! the Parkway Bathhouse at Coney Isi-| and at noon to-day, dressed in mea- gre’ bathing suits, and Coney Island promptly suspended ail} other business. There wasn't much one-piece doing anyhow, Indignant business men, clerks, | trolleymen, landlords, tenants, every | male person within a mile gathered | around the bathing girls, and while shouts of disapproval (such as “O, doy!” “Isn't the little blonde a pip?” | and “O, cutey!") were coming from a hundred angry throats, Supt. Peter J. Mallon of Seaside Park, unable to get near enough to speak his views of such goings-on, telephoned for ‘ne police, Patrolmen Jim Carroll, Jim Papp and Joe Willis of the Coney Island Polige Station clubbed their way through the mob and, shielding their eyes with their caps, ordered the | nine young women to get off the beach immediately. The girls, who had come down from Manhattan by automobilé, refused to do any such @ thing. “One-piece bathing suits are agadnst the law,” warned Carroll. “We bathe in them on the Pacific said one little beauty, “This is the Atjantic,” argied the cop. “It's the United States!" said the spunky one “No argument!" answered the cop. “Into the bath house with you!” Everybody began, to talk: at once and Sol Lesser stepped forward to protest, The upshot was that Lesser and the nine one-piece-suiters were declared to be under arrest, The girls retired to the bath house, donned civilian attire and, with Les- ser, were escorted in their own machines to the Station House, where Lieut, ‘Thurston wrote names, ages addresses as follows: Alice Mason, twenty, Hotel Bilt- mre; Irene Wile, nineteen, Kote!

Ware (Thurston thoyght this one kidding him) twenty-one, Hote} Biltmore; Edna French, twenty- two, Hotel Astor. The young people thought it was all a pretty good joke until the Lieutenant called the matron. “Show these ladies to their rooms" he said. ‘ One or two of the girls paled at this — quite imperceptibly — but’ all finally pulled themselves together and marched away to private rooms, was HE, M.

At the opening of the session, the Conservatives introduced a resolu- tion which would make ratification dependent upon the judgment of recognized authorities in international law as to whether the proposed in- ternational court could institute trial and could, with retroactive furiediction and authority, impose penalties which have not heretofore been prescribed in international law. ‘The resolution was aimed at the en- forcement of Articles 227 to 230, in- elusive of the peace treaty.

After fifteen minutes the Assembly reconvened, and Dr, Schiffer, Na- tional Liberal leader and former Min- ister of Finance, stated that he re- gretted the introduction of the reso- lution, as it would only serve to con- fuse the situation. A Clerical speak- er said the time for reservations was past. The Conservatives defended the resolution, but it was decisively beaten. + be treaty bill was then taken up and quickly passed second and third readings, with the opposition coming from Democrats, National Liberals and Conservatives, Dr, Bernhard Dernburg, former Minister of Fi- nance; Friedrich von Payer, former Imperial Vice Chancellor, and a few other Democrats voted for ratitl- cation fore Magistrate O'Neil.
