Hadley was given orders by tug to go

Off for the Superior entry and crashed
directly into the Wilson.
The Wilson went down so quickly that
it did not seem possible to save a life.
One man on the Wilson threw life pre-
servers to those who had jumped in the
water. The crew of the Hadley also
threw out preservers.
AS the Wilson went down the members
of the crew rushed to the stern, jump

themselves from their clothing. The
vessel did not tioat a minute after the
collision. During this interval she
seemed supported entirely by the Had

through her plates.
Women who jumped last were seen
struggling near the hull just before the
plunge and could not be seen afterwards
The Hadley's steering apparatus seem

She swung around in a circle several
times and seemed utterly helpless. In a

the men clambered back on the boat.
The race Of the life saving crew and

The life saving crew picked up the
men in the water. The Hadley had a
hard run for shore and a moment after
her bow struck shore her stern began
filling and went down.

Two Thirds of the Miners Out
(By the Associated Press.)

Bluefeld, w. Va, June 7.-Out of the
forty odd operations in the Pocahontas
field two-thirds of the miners are out.
Some operations shut down and some are
working very few men. Nearly all of the
mines here are shipping some coal today,
but in most instances it is coal that was
loaded on mine cars yesterday or before
the men came out. The miners seem
much better organized on the North Fork
branch and Simmons Creek than in any
other part of the field. and on these
branches there are practically no men
at work. The agitators are fighting hard
to make it a total shut out in the entire
region, and it is stated by persons
familiar with the situation that but few
men will be at work On Tuesday next.
The Headquarters of the strikers are at
keystone, and it is reported they are
marching through the field. with bands
of music, carrying the striking miners
and encouraging others to come out.

Hen. H.. c.. Daniels, Wilson, N G..
Dear Sir: 1 have the honor to acknowl-
edge the receipt of your favor of the
26th, inst, requesting a construction by
me of the provisions in the plan of Or
gapization providing for voting in pre-
cinct meetings. 1t is my opinion that it
was the purpose and intent of the
COMMITTEES that at precinct meeting,
if demand is made. that a vote shall
be taken for the several candidates
whose names are presented in the coun-
ty convention, the vote of that precinct
should he divided between these candi-
dates according to the vote received by
each in the precinct meeting. l have 10
doubt in my own mind that this provis.
ion was intended by the committee to
apply to candidates, not only for county
but for district positions.
Very truly yours,
