MISSING SEAMEN SAYED.
Lust of the Steamer William LnSvrence's
Crew Brought In

Savannah, Ca, Feb. 15.-Every men,
ber of the crew of the wrecked steam
ship William Lawrence was saved, but
only after the greater number Of them
had suffered terrible hardships. The
tugs Cambria and Cynthia came in this
evening from the Sea islands of South
Carolina, bringing with them Captain
A. L. Willis and thirteen men, consti-
tuting those who had been missing since
Sunday morning when the ship was
abandoned in the breakers off Port
Royal bar. With Captain Willis were
First officer L. E. Hooper, First AS
sistant Engineer Horace Hooper, Quar-
termaster A. Bergenson and Seamen
Paul Quintz, William Hauntz, Michael
Hayes Thomas Holm, Jake Vawdry,
Frank White, Jean Baptiste, Charles q.

Vleechouwer, a stowaway from Balti-
more. The tugs left the city this morn
ing and searched every island and in
let northward until the castaways were
found. At 9 o'clock the party was dis
on board the Cambria.
Captain Willis and his men suffered
but little less than the crew in the first
boat They left the ship on Sunday at
o'clock. After two hours at sea in
binding gale the two boats under the
captain and the first officer made land
on Capers island, desolate and little
sand spot. In beaching both boats
which were made of iron, were smashed
and the men were thrown into the sea.
Although almost exhausted they man
aged to scramble beyond the reach of
the waves. What little drinking water
they had was lost together with the bis
cults. There was no frssh water and ex-
tremely little fuel on the island and no
shelter The captain had few matches
in metallic box. Tearing the seats out
of the wrecked boats fire was made
under the lee of "a sand dune This
saved the men from freezing to death.
The men hovered over the blaze during
the seet and snow storm of Sunday
night and Monday when the mercury
was marking eight to ten above zero.
On Tuesday morning one of the boats 1
was patched up and both crews got into
1t to reach Port Royal They had been
without food since leaving the Lawrence
Sunday morning and without water
since Sunday afternoon. After painful
efforts they reached Hunting island
Some soldiers stationed there fed and
warmed them. Captain Willis says that
at the time the ship struck the weather
was so thick that he could not see half
the length of the ship He saws 1sp
that something was wrong with his
and that the ship was some

SIX DAYS, BICYCLE RACE.
Earl Stevens Causes Sensation by
QuItttng-B breaking Records.

San Francisco, Feb. 15.-The sensation
of the day in the six day race was the
rank quitting of Earl D. Stevens, the
! Buffalo boy. Stevens withdrew in the
ped him back to the track once. but he
sneaked out again and when examined
sound and In excellent shape to go on,
actually lay down on the floor and
would not be carried out. Stevens
claimed that he was going all to pieces,
but during his stays on the track out
sprinted all the riders, including Miller,
Barnaby and Gimm. The moment his
trainer gave it up Stevens donned his
street clothes and walked from the
building. Another feature of the early
morning was the superb riding OF Bar
naby, who is rapidly becoming II factor
IN the contest. Hannant also quit, ow-
Ing TO poor stomach which would hold
no food. He rode ten hours on All

hearted over his being forced to with
draw on account Of his eyes. The race
is but quarter over, but the present
field Will probably stay to the close.
Gilnm was 3 rs miles ahead of the
worlds record at the end OF the forty
third hour. To this increase the men
have been adding rapidly by regularly
travelling eighteen miles to the hour.
The erason for this is that the track
is the fastest ever constructed. The
men have sprinted again and again to-
day to make up lost space on riders
leaving the track. Whenever Miller left
the others started at great speed. Bar
naby led most of these and is fully the
surprise of the contest. This Boston
rider never finished a race of this char
acter before and was supposed to be one
of those who would finally drop out.
Five are ahead of the record and vet no
one complains. Gimm who heads the
grind has slept but twenty minutes.
Miller does not worry over his inabil-
ity to hold the lead. but counts upon be-
ing in the front at the finish Barnaby

Weather Observer Tarr Has More Com
Ing Tonight,


Weather Observer Tarr has on tan
another snowstorm which he promises
to let loose on New Haven sometime
tonight. He stated last evening that a.
storm had developed in the lower Mis-
sissippi valley, which was accompanied
by both snow and rain and was on the
way up the river. He thought that it
would branch off up the Ohio and strike
eastward to this section. He thinks
that if it reaches Connecticut it will be
a snowstorm by the time it gets here.
The coldest weather in the country
is now in the eastern states. In the
west the mercury is ON the rise and in
this section the coldest part of the wave
has passed. 1t is expected that New
Haven will be in a cloudy area by this
evening. The thermometer at the local

NEW YORK POISON MYSTERY.
Testimony of DIR. Hitchcock Who Was
Called to Attend Mrs. Adams.

New York, Feb 15.-Frederick F.
witnesses examined in the Adams in
quest to-day. DIR. Hitchcock attended
Mrs. Adams after she had taken the
poison. No developments of any note
We're brought to light and the mystery
is as dense as ever. Mr.. Hovey told of
the death of Mrs. Adams. He stated
that he had visited the Adams fiat on
the night of the tragedy, but did not
accompany the party to the theater.
Hovey's examination was so long
drawn out that Cornish, who had been
present all morning. left the room. As
sistant District Attorneys Osborne and
Blumenthal conducted the examination.
They asked so many questions appar-
emily not pertinent to the case that the
spectators thinned out until compare
lively small crowd was present. The
witnesses We're repeatedly led up to
point where 1t was thought something
startling might be evolved, when the
attorneys branched off on different
line Of questioning.
DR.. Hitchcock was on the stand for
nearly two hours this afternoon. He
told of being called to the Adams
apartments on the morning of Decem-
ber %; of the presence Of Cornish on the
stoop of the Adams hoCse when he ar
rived; of Mrs. Adams condition, and
of the efforts that had been made to re-
lieve her pain before his arrival. He
was informed that Mrs Adams had TAX
en- bromo seltzer and soon afterwards
died. He described his treatment of
Cornish, who had also, he said, sWal
lowed some of the bromo seltzer. DIR.
Hitchcock said that he was positive
that Mrs. Adams had not been poisoned
by strychnine. DR.. Potter, DR.. Hitch
cock said had been called in and agreed
with him that the poison was a COM
pound. They decided to get an under
taker and notify the coroner and the
police. After more careful eXamina-
ton of the bromo seltzer, DR.. Hitchcock
stated, he believed that it contained cy-
anide of potassium, with possibly a lit
tie mercury in it. DR.. Hitchcock was
still on the stand when court adjourned
until tomorrow. 1t is now believed
that Mrs Molineux will not be called
to the witness stand before Friday.
