Joseph A. Duran, boiler maker S
helper and civilian, scalded.
With the exception of Lieutenant
Cole, all the killed and injured reside

Heroism of Cole.
Lieutenant Cole received his injuries
in heroic effort to rescue the others.
The accident was caused by the Civ
ing way of d gasket or rubber washer
on boiler on the starbOard side of the
ship.
The Massachusetts has been at the
navy yard for some time, undergoing
extensive repairs. particularly TO the
boilers and machinery. The boiler on
which the accident occurred had re-
Gently been cleaned and thoroughly
tested. and the boiler makers were to-
day at work on another boiler.
Rush of Steam.
Without warning, the gasket be-
tween the boiler plate and the boiler
head gave way and a terrific rush Of
steam and hot water occurred. The
doors of the fire-room were closed at
the time. and the only avenue of es-
cape was safety ladder Only one
man, Bramlet, a ships fireman. thought
Of the ladder, and ne escaped without
a scar.
Few on the upper decks knew what
had happened until the steam came
up from the seething pit be-
low. The work of rescue was prompt,
and to this promptness those who es-
capped death owe their thanks The
first TO enter the fire-hole was Lieuten-
ant Cole. Without hesitating on ac-
count of becoming scalded by the hot
water, he dragged the men from the
place to the door where they were taxi
sn in charge by others. Bub and Ham
lton were dead when found. and Rit-
eel died few minutes after being TAX

HARDING IN CONTEMPT
Chicago Millionaire Must Paw
AlimOny TO the Extent
of $33,401.

Chicago, Dec. 15.-George F. Harding.
Chicago millionaire and clubman has
lest his contest over the payment of
$500 month alimony to his wife. Mrs.
Adelaide NJ. Harding. and i'm an opin-
ion given today Judge Gibbons found
Harding not only responsible for future
Payments. but in contempt Of court for
arfearages to the amount of $3S. 30I.
This amount Harding must pay with
in ten days or he will be lodged in the
county Jail according to the decree.
After bitter contest and an an
peal TO the supreme court Harding
brought suit for absolute divorce in
san Diego Cal, charging desertion.
Harding was granted the decree orig
inally' the decision being sustained by
the supreme court of California
In a decision here today. however
Judge Gibbons holds that the separate
maintenance decree of the Cook county
court is still binding upon the real es-
tate man. notwithstanding the divorce
granted by the San Diego court.
1T IS claimed" said the court .bv
Mr.. Harding that the decree of divorce
granted by the superior court of San
Dlego county ana aff1Ined by the su-
} eme court Of that state. absolutely
severed the relations Of a man and wife
~ tween himself and Mrs. Harding and
that under the federal constitution this
court is bound TO give the same force
and effect to said decree as IL the de-
Gee had been rendered by the circuit
court OF the state of Illinois.
Had the suit in California been for
the recovery Of money or property the
contention would probably be substan-
tally correct. but the California de-
cree cannot abrogate the circuit court
cecree of divorce"
