THE sARANAc STRUCK TWICE.
Came Within an ace Of Going to the Bottom
Panic on Board.
(By the Associated Press.)

Chicago, April 1S.-With a fifty mile
gale driving her up Lake Michigan and
three miles of roaring water between her
and the shore, the big steel steamer Sa-
ranac of the Lehigh Valley came near
figuring in the greatest marine disaster
the lake has seen in years. Twice the
big freighter struck a sunken obstrue-
ton. Naval architects today declared II
a miracle that the vessel did not break
in two and sink with all hands.
Not until the hull of the vessel was
barred at a dry dock in the river today
was the full extent of the damage known.
The survey showed twenty frames and
stranchions broken, three immense deck
beams shattered and bolts and rivets
started in all portions of the ship. So
near did the boat come to dividing that
for seventy feet along her week the heavy
steel plates are bent and twisted. Re-
pairs will take several weeks and will
cost $4,000.
The accident to the Saranac came at
midnight Thursday with the boat headed
for Chicago, a short distance north of
Racine. Following the collision Captain
Charles A. Potter, despite the heavy gale
went about in an effort to reach Mil
waukee.
When the boat struck, her firemen de-
serted the stokehold but were driven be-
low decks again by the engineers. Their
temporary desertion caused a drop in the
steam pressure. The boat was hardly
Ible to get her head into the and in
going about was boarded by immense
waves, which swept everything movable
rom the decks and wrecked her after
abins.
All the firemen on the vessel were new
on the water and they were panic-strick-
en-. Only the presence of sailors among
them prevented their leaving the stoke
hold. So frightened did two of them be-
come that they tainted and another, Rich
ard Saurs. lost his mind before the ship
reached Milwaukee.

Tom Bailey's Joke.

A joke of Postmaster Tom Bailey's
making is being taken seriously by some
people and some newspaper folks. 1t is
stated that he applied for registration
here, and on saying that he was a Fed
eral office holder the matter was held up
and his name was starred on the books so
that if Democratic Chairman Jones said
he was disfranchised the name might
come off.
But Postmaster Bailey started the
joke. He told the registrar that perhaps
as he was a Federal office holder he
might not be eligible. The registrar was
a new one and heard legal advice. That's
all there is in Tom Bailey being refused
registration.
