bers of the Eilbeck male choral society.

was crossing the river channel near
Blankenez from the southern into the
northern fairway. According to witnesses
aboard the Hansa, the movement was
made precipitately.

and the Hansa endeavored to push her
ashore. but the tug rounded and the ships
parted. The Primus then sank.
In the interval, however. about fifty OF
her passengers were able to reach the
Hansa by means of ropes and ladders.
Seventy more were picked up BIZ the tug
boats. while others swan ashore.

Captain Sa P.s, of the Hansa, also sur
rendered. The Primus was the Oldest
boat on the Elbe. She was built in Eng
land, in 1914 and had never before met
with an accident.
The Hamburg-American line. which
owned the Hansa, issued a statement to
the effect that the weather was fine. the,
moon was shining and that both vessels
were steering absolutely clear of each
other.
Suddenly the Primus, when about so
feet from the Hansa, put her rudder hard

only possible step for the Hansa to take
namely, to go full speed astern, was carr

minute elapsed between the time the
Primus changed her course and the collis-
ION Boats were Immediately lowered

bill to the opposition of the country
people of England hundred years ago
when the railroad first came into eX-
istence and told of how they had cried
out against it for the reason that it
would scare their cattle and their
horses to death.
Mr.. Buchanan. the author of the bill,
answered this attack by saying that
he was not going back hundred years
but going ahead hundred years.
Cowles of Kossuth was against the
amendment because he said there was
no comparison between the two. Rail
roads bought their own rights of way.
If owners of automobiles wanted to
run their machines at higher rate
OF speed than nfteen miles an hour
they should do the same.
Failing to defeat the bill, there was
a concerted effort to get it referred to
the committee on judiciary because of
the many amendments offered and the
patched up condition of the residue.
This was voted down because of
Clark's known opposition to the meas
ure. Had Clark not taken the floor in
defense of an amendment which Blu
chanan declared was aimed at the
very life of the BILL it is likely that
there would have been little or no op.
position to referring it to this COM
mittee.
A motion to re-refer the bill to the
committee on roads and highways,
where it received an almost unanimous
Endorsement, was defeated in the
same manner.
Whiting of Monona wanted spec
ial committee of three appointed by
the speaker to take up and settle the
matter. The friends of the measure,
however were thoroughly reused and
would brook no opposition, and it
passed.
