Burning life preservers were torn

This added greatly to the loss OF life
as It was afterwards found that the
bodies recovered from the water had no

full speed and headed for the rock

Meantime the scenes aboard were
frightful. the names spreading with
terrible rapidity and men. women ana
children were running about wild with
fear. shrieking and In tears seeking Z
haven OF safety. Mothers gathered their
children In their arms and leaped into
the water. Others seemed too dased to
move and flames licked up about them
and burned them to death. The great
bulk stood by the boat until she neared
the shores Of the island where the
water was shoaler thinking here they
might find chance for life. Eye wit
nesses say that as the boat neared the
shore she was surrounded on all sides
by the floating bodies Of passengers
who had Jumped. On the north Of

The closing event of weeks pro-
gram of commencement exercises oc-
CURED at the Normal Auditorium this
morning when the class Of 1904 were
passed for graduation and received
their diplomas from the board Of
trustees The normal auditorium was
filled with people long before the hour
for the exercises began and a profusion
OF flowers and other presents were piled
high on the table in the reception room.
The main feature OF the program was
the address to the class by Supt. ]. A.
Tormey of the Spokane schools. SUI
address along practical lines. happily
illustrated by flashes of wit and homely
SMILES which brought out the force OF
the truths he wished to illustrate in
such a manner as to win for the speak
er the hearty applause OF his auditors.
Superintendent Tormeys central idea
was the need OF specialization in this
age of the complexity OF modern civili-
zation. He dealt with the falseness OF
many of our ideals where our boasted
success was rather the accumulation of
wealth. tnan the ueNelOpment OF the
man with high ideals and forceful aims.
The place OF the teacher in the school
was to correct the false and emphasize
the true. The address was one OF the
best ever delivered in the school and
was heartily received by the audience.
The program of the morning opened
BY an invocation by Rev. F. V. Baer Of
the Episcopal church, followed by a
| vocal duet by Mrs. Kettenbach and
| Mrs. Durbin. After the address Presi-
dent Black directed a few words to the
| audience on the true development OF the
normal idea and the correlation of the
normal schools with the universities
| and presented the class for graduation.
In behalf Of the normal board c. A..
Foresman accepted the class and after
presenting the diplomas said In part:
