Five hundred and forty men have

1913 LIVES WERE LOST.
Only Six Saved in Wreck of Steamer
Off French Coast

In the wreck of the London and South
western Railway Company's steamer Hilda
Off the northern coast of France Satur-
day night 12S persons lost their lives
according to an official estimate given out
in London last night by the officers of the
company. This death roll includes twenty
one saloon passengers, eighty French onion
sellers and twenty-seven of the crew. Five
onion sellers and one member of the crew
were saved.
The railroad company was unable to fur
nish list of the passengers
Owing to the rough sea, together with a
thick snowstorm. the captain of the Hilda
probably took the buoy light of the rocks
for the st. Malo lighthouse He gave Sig
nails, which were not seen by harbor en-
ployes, and then the steamer proceeded
slowly toward the light. When the Hilda
struck the rocks the steamers boilers eX-
ploded and she was cut In two, giving the
passengers no time to save their lives.
The Hilda struck at 10 o'clock Saturday
night. She was going very slowly at the time.
Rockets were sent up. but there was no re-
eponse Seven minutes later the ship broke
amidship and the decks We're swept bare
with the exception of the few survivors,
by the steamer Ada at 10 o'clock Sunday
morning, after having endured the twelve
hours of agony.
In response to the captains appeal. when
launch the boats, all the women and chill
dren were mustered in the main hatch. and
the stewardess fixed life belts around each
of them. the French onion sellers assisting
in the work. Every one was very quiet.
James Gunter, who was the only seaman
saved, says there were about twenty pef-
sons in the rigging when the vessel foun-
dered He described pathetically how the
men gradually dropped off, exhausted by
the terrible cold and says the roar Of the
elements was awful. AS the men fell Off
they CALCULATED:

Gunter himself fought against strong
inclination to sleep, and says that before
his rescue he cared little what became of
him.

ZIONIST MOVEMENT.
Eloquent Address Made Before Young
Peoples Union.

The Young Peoples Union of Zion held q
special meeting on Sunday night in Pythian
Temple. After the opening of the meeting
Mr.. Louis Michel of Baltimore addressed
the club In regard to the anti-Semetic riots
in Russia and urged that contributions DO
made to alleviate the sufferings of the per-
secuted Jews. and to work with moro vigor
for the Zionist cause-to regain Palestine.
Mr.. Mesrop Newton. the secretary OF the
Persian legation, made an eloquent address.
Mr.. Newton expressed his deep sympathy
for the Zionist movement. He stated that
the conditions of the Armenians and the
Jews were very much alike, in that they are
both prosecuted, and therefore one sympa-
thzes with the other. The Jews, he said,
are generally said to be usurers. They are
not more SO than any one else. But why
do they have this love for gain? Every one
loves money. but the Jew needs it most. He
has no home. He is prosecuted wherever
he goes. The Jew has nothing but money
and his religion to fall back on. That is
why in the countries where he is prosecuted
he clings so sigidly to the old-time manners
and customs of his people. He walks about
the streets in cringing manner, as II
afraid his life would be threatened every
moment.
But look at the Jew in America" the
speaker said. He is manly, upright. He
does not walk bent down. He is frank and
open. He does not need to be sly and crafty
and greedy for gold. He has no prosecutors
to bribe Why this change? He Is In
country where there is no persecution. He
is on an equal footing with every one else,
and has the same rights that others enjoy
Mr. Newton added that IT was Gods Will
that the children of Israel regain Palestine
Why should not this beautiful dream be
true? 1t is true that something mas been
done for the movement, but a great deal
more needs to be accomplished At the con-
clusion of his remarks he was accorded q
rising vote of thanks. The organization APP

SENATOR BUTTONS DEFENSE.
Position Outlined by Counsel at St
Louis Yesterday.

Attorney Lehman outlined the position
that will be taken by the defense in the
trial of Senator Burton at st. Louis yes
terday, after The Stars report closed. He
admitted that Senator Burton had been en-
ployed by the Rialto Grain and Securities
Company, but laid stress on the fact that
the president of the company, Major Hugh
c. Dennis, now dead, was at that time
under indictment, and contended that the
principal reason for Senator Burton's en-
ployment was that he was expected to as
sist at Dennis trial That he did not do SO.
Mr.. Lehman said. was due to the fact that
Major Dennis had already sufficient legal
talent In st. Louis.
Mr.. Lehman commended that the visits
Senator Burton paid to the Post Office De-
partment were not to influence action in re-
gard to the Rialto company, but to investf-
gate the case against Major Dennis. Mr..
Lehman explained that while Senator Bur-
ton was employed by the Rialto company,
and yet expected to devote his principal en-
deavors to the case growing out OF the IN
dictment of it's president, there was nothing
unusual in this, as Major Dennis owned al
most all the stock of the Rialto company,
and that he and the company were almost
one.
Attorney Lehman admitted the payment
to Senator Burton Of $500 in the Offices OF
the Rialto company in st. Louis on March
26. 1903 but declared that 1t was simply
the last of the monthly payments agreed
upon when Senator Burton was engaged.
Mr.. Lehman said that when the defense
of Major Dennis was first preached TO
Senator Burton. the latter said he could not
afford to take the case If he was to be en-
ployed only month or so, and made pro-
posal that he was to have a five months
contract at $500 month. This was agreed
to, said Mr.. Lehman

Burton had used his influence while MEM

STA had thought herself immune from this
movement Of the working people, but she

Mr.. Gompers stated that by many the
setting of a mans wages by himself is con-
sidered dictation TO his employer, and he
used a common example to turn the point.
He said:
I'm a store the dealer sets his price on
all articles which he has for sale, and no
one objects. Why, then. is II not proper for
workfngman to place price on the only
thing he has to offer for sale-his labor?'
The speaker defended the walking dele
gate" upheld the demand for an eight-hour
day and made general defense of the
Federation's principles.
