ROASTED ALIVE
SEEMED HIS DOOM
Uncle Jeff Sanders Starts
Something In Jail.
Mattress Was Blazing Furiously
When Another Prisoner Saw
the Flames.
BUCKET BRIGADE GOT BUSY

Uncle Jen Sanders, an alleged
demented negro, set fire to his mat
tress in the negro quarters of the
city jail this morning at o'clock
and settled down calmly to enjoy
the sensation of being roasted alive.
This was his position when Derby"
a negro prisoner smelled the smoke
and ran to Sanders cell TO investl-
gate.
Sanders had kicked his mattress
on the floor. There were four other
mattresses in the ward and he had
pulled these down. They are made of
excelsior and one was burning
briskly.
"Derby's" shout for help brought
other prisoners and the turnkey to
the scene. Buckets of water were
procured and Uncle JEFF got "his"
with the flames. He was wet from
head to foot when the deluge was
over, but did not seem to mind IL.
Last night Patroman Albert SEN
ser found Sanders lying in the gutter
at Tenth and Caldwell streets. He
seemed to be crazy. He had been
drinking and refused to talk. At the
station he remained silent and was
locked up without the officers know
ing his name. This morning Ben
Boyd recognized him. He is JEFF
Sanders. He was a slave in the San
ders' family, owned by the grand
father of the late Judge d. l.. San
ders. Judge Sanders and others gave
the darkey home near Sixth ana
Tennessee streets where he still
lives. He is being held pending de-
velopments. Some say he is not in
sane. but merely nervous from eX-
cessive drinking.
Sanders failed to explain how the
mattress was set afire. Prisoners say
he tried to smoke.

NEVERMORE
WILL SUBMARINE BOAT LEUTEN
COME TO SURFACE.
Record of Distressing Disasters e.
Submarine Boats in Last Two
Years.

Paris, Oct. IS The French naval
authorities have practically abandon
ed all hope of rescuing the crew OF
the submarine boat Leuten, and even
doubt the possibility Of ever raising
the vessel.
Here is the tragic story of subma-
rine boat disasters during the last
two years:
February 10, 1905--British sub
marine AS sunk off Queenstown. All
on board killed or hurt.
March Is. 19O5-British subma-
rine Al sunk off Portsmouth. Four
teen lives lost.
June s, l905-British submarine
AS sunk off Plymouth Fourteeen
lives lost.
July g, 1905-French submarine
Farfadet sunk off Biserta, Tunis.
Thirteen lives lost.
Ocober 1G 19OG-French subma-
rlne Leuten sunk off Biserta. Four
teen lives lost
There is a peculiar horror usu-
ally attached . the wreckipg of the
submarine. Unlike a disaster to a
craft sailing on the surface of the
water, the crew of the submarine
are invariably sealed in their vessel
and unable to free themselves when
disaster oyertakes them.
