He was born on Nov. II, 1874, at

service as a cabin boy. BY dint of
hard work and close application to
whatever duty was assigned him he
rose 1tep by step in the service OF

boat and later superintendent OF the
entire line of steamers.
Captain Grammer has warm
place in his heart for Cairo. He re-
members this city when the river

and Mississippi rivers.

In order that his fight against un'
| licensed gasoline boats might be made
the more effective, Rear Admiral Sy-
monds is starting a movement TO Sc
cure substantial support from the
prominent river men in this and other
sections Of the country, says the Mem
phis Commercial-Appeal. He has mott
fed Capt. Waltz and Capt. Brace. the
local steamboat inspectors, 70 secure
az many LET ers as possible from riv.
er officials advocating the scheme of
including all gasoline craft under the
present statutes.
As soon as he has secured sufficient
support from this source to justify
him in beginning the fight, Admiral
Symonds will appear before the board
Of supervising inspectors, now in SEES
sion at Washing on He will advocate
that the board recommend the amend
ment of the present statutes SO that
gasoline boats will be in the same
class as steam vessels. Immediate
action on the matter will be asked
by Admiral Symonds.
The fight against unlicensed gaso-
line boats was inaugurated a year or
two ago by Capt Waltz ard Capt. Bra
zee, the local inspectors. These off
clals saw the evil of a discrimination
in favor of The gasoline craft. All
steam vessels, of no matter what ton
mage, are required to employ licensed
pilots and engineers, while gasoline
boats under fifteen tons are exempted
from the working of this statute.
As a result the construction of the
gasoline Graf, have been made with
such precision as to leave them bare
ly outside the workings of the stat
utes. Powerful machinery has been
placed ON these boats, so that they
may be able to carry as much freight
rs much larger and heavier steam ives
sells The gasoline boats have been
brought into competition with Steam
| vessels and have succeeded in making
considerable inroads upon the bust
ness of the latter boats.

ma ter was shelved. Several weeks
ago Admiral Symonds came to this
city as the special representative OF
/ the government TO make an investiga
lion of navigation along the Mississip
pi river He conferred with the local
inspectors relative TO proposed inn
pFovements.
Admiral Symonds was convinced by
the local inspectors of the necessity
of having these gasoline boats brought
under the statutes. and he left this
city promising that he would continue

Jury In the Case of the Train
Wrecker Finds Verdict
of Guilty
IMPOSES a LIFE SENTENCE
Alleged German Baron Who Caused
the Wreck Of the Rock Island Linn

Which Declares He Wa. Sane When
He Committed the Crime.
Special to Times-Republicar,

Special to TimeS-RepublicaE,
Marengo, Ia, Nov. 9.-Baron Eric
Won Kutzleben must spend the re-
mainder of his life in prison as pun
ishment for wrecking the Rock Island
limited at Homestead, which resulted
in the death Of Engineer Hotchkiss
and serious injuries to many others.
The case went to the jury last night
and verdict was returned early this
morning, finding the prisoner guilty
as charged and fixing the penalty at
life Imprisonment.
The case has attracted much atten-
ton, and hard fight was made to
prove that Kutzleben was not mentally
responsible. The experts for the de-
Tense claimed that he was the victim
Of disorder Of the brain and that he
had no means Of resisting impulses to
do wrong. Experts for the state, how
ever. gave it as their opinion that he
was sane and knew perfectly well the
lfdluTe diIu CONSEQUENCES VI tIae CTltHe
which he committed. One expert from
the State University declared he was
shamming. There was a dramatic
scene in court when the verdict was
read this morning. The mother of the
defendant, who sold her estate in Ger
many. where she was member Of the
aristocracy, came to America in
an effort to save her son from prison.
Last night she tainted in court and 1t
took half an hour to revive her. To-
day she is seriously i'll.
The defense Immediately filed a mo-
ton for a new trial and the court gave
until the 18th for the hearing. II a
new trial is denied the defendant will
no doubt appeal
