STEAMER BURNED:
HUNDREDS DEAD
Awful Holocaust on the Hankow at
at Hong Kong, China
FRIGHTFUL PANIC ENSUED

Hong Ksns, Oct. Is. - The British
steamer Hankow, from Canton, was
burned Sunday morning while lying
alongside her wharf. Hundreds of
Chinese passengers were burned 70
death and a valuable cargo was de-
stroyed. All the European passengers
and crew were saved.
The Hankow, with 1000 passengers
men, women and children and seven
Europeans|a cargo, including 300 bales
of mating, $50 bales Of raw silk and
400 bales waste silk, arrived from Can
ton at o'clock in the morning, and
was shortly afterward moored at the
wharf.
Her chief officer reported to Captain
Branch that the ship was afire. The
captain then directed the chief engi-
neer to turn on the water through
the fire hose. This was impossible for
the reason that within five minutes
after the alarm was given the Hankow
was ablaze fore and aft. Captain Branch
then awakened the European passen-
gers, who rushed down the gangway,
The crew was compelled to leave the
ship, which by this tins was verit-
able furnace. The Chinese steerage
passengers were thrown into fright
full panic. HorrifyinE shrieks and cries
to save their lives were heard, but es-
cape was impossible, owing to the in
fiammable nature of the cargo. Hun
dreds were burned to death and many
others jumped irto the harbor and
were drowned
Responding to signals from the Han
kow, the British cruiser Flora and the
naval dockyard dispatched contingents
of engines and assistance. The land
herculean efforts to extinguish the
flames, which leaped to a height OF
over so feet.
The British steamer Pow An, which
was berthed at the same wharf, was
towed out to save her from destruction.
A neishboring pier 100 yards distant
was burned to the waters edge. Gov
ernor Nathan suggested scuttling the
ship, but the suggestion was found to
be impracticable.
The fire was brought under control
at o'clock a. m, at which time the
shell and hull of the Hankow remain
ed. The gruesome work of recovering
the dead was thsn begun.
The fire fighters have already recov-
cred rs corpses. Many of them were
huddled together and only singed, while
others were incinsratsd beyond recog-
milton. OF the cargo 200 bales of raw
silk were saved, but badly damaged by
water. The remainder was totally de-
stroyed.
There are many theories as to the
cause of the fire. The first is that the
fire was caused by the overturning Of
the lantern of a Chinese boarding.
house runner, who came aboard seek
ing customers. The second was thai
an opium smoker accidentally set fire
to the mating; the third is that il
was caused by the crossing of electri'
wires. A fourth theory, and one tina
is considered the most probable, i!
that the fire was inccndiary, and wa.
an outgrowth of boycott against Brit
ish river beats.
A majority of the victims were wo
men. The company owning the Han
kow lost three other steamers during
the recent typhoon.

John L., who is playing at a theater here,

in fact I believe it helps to convince the public
that the promoters will not stand for 1t. How
ever, in this case 1t seems that Tom O. Rourke
knew all about it-that is If there was any

any one Of them would mix UP in fake fight,
and If it should be proven true then they should
be ignored entirely by true sporting people. a.
People who will mix in fake are not
friends Of sport Of any Kind, and they should
be driven out Of the business. j.. They are like
snakes in the grass. I was sorry to hear that
old Bob should be mixed in such an affair, and
trust it Is not true. Jack o Brien is, 9

he would be foolish enough to lend his hand

EVERYTHING WORTH WHILE IN SPORT GATHERED HERE
BILLY PHYLE NOW
In GOOD STANDING

indianapolis May Manager James Burke
Of the Kansas City club has received tele
gram from Secretary j. H. Farrell of the Ma
tielal association. notifying him that Player
William Phyle had been reinstated by the
commission and National association
and therefore was eligible to participate In
games, played with any teams working under
the national agreement It is hardly necessary
to say that Manager Burke was highly pleased
to receive this welcome notification, as the
Kansas City team has been broken up by the
absence OF such a good player as Phyle, and
will be able to present much stronger line up
today with Phyle In the game than the blues
were able to do yesterday.
The Phyle case was brought about by that
player being reported as making a statement
in the fall of 1903 that the Memphis club with
which he had been playing and which team won
the pennant that season in the Southern league
by Just few points, had been able to do this
by having some of the other Southern league
clubs throw games to them. .Phyle was called
upon to prove these charges, and. failing to
appear at any time to do o,~he disquaE
fed by the Southern league, which action was
approved by the national association and national
commission. which made him ineligible to play
with any club working under the national agree
mept. II. s...
AT the spring meeting of the Southern league
PhEle made an apology for his charges and

would have to make formal application to tina

Rich in Nutrition,

Malta Vita Is the Perfect Food fol
Children and Grown Folks.

We know of no other food so rich in
nutrition and so easy to digest as Malta
Vita. the perfect whole-wheat food.
One of the foremost educators in Ohio
recently said: For ten years 1 suffered
almost everything in the way of pain
and misery and was unfit for business
from the worst form of indigestion and
constipa ton I suffered agony from sick
headache, lasting sometimes two or three
days. There were but few weeks during
the ten years past that 1 did not have
an attack of sick headache. A year ago
tried Malta-Vita and have eaten it
almost every day since-sometimes three
| times a day. My constipation is almost
wholly removed If I have light attack
of sick headache once in two months I
count it frequent. 1 am constrained to
give my diet the credit"
Malta-Vita is appetiZing in the MORN
ing, at noon and at night. 1t puts the
tingle of new life into sluggish blood,
builds up bone and muscle, refreshes the
| brain and nerves.
And MaltaVita is so good to eat! One
dish of it. with a little milk, cream or
| fruit starts the day just right.
i All grocers sell Malta Vita-so delicious

| ing, so satisfying that no other food can
take its place. Always ready to eat. Now

Its True Worth
Progressive Men and Women Consider
It "a Means to National Temperance.

We have recently published a mum:
Der of articles on the food value OF
beer, the Importance of the brewing
industries as a factor in our national
wealth, our national revenues, and the
use of beer itself as a means to tenn
perance and sobriety.
We believe that sooner or later beer
will be recognized at its true worth,
as a food beverage of splendid tonic
effect and high nourishing value. Noted
men and women of this country are
already alive to the situation and be-
sides Miss Phoebe Cousins and DIR.
Joseph Feisler Of Northwestern Uni
versity, many others of note give their
Endorsement to beer as means to ma
tional temperance.
Miss Cousins. for quarter of cen.
fury the most eminent woman suf-
frage advocate in the West, said in
recent interview: There never will be
a law that will compel prohibition, and
Christian Temperance Union to do Is
to aid in the substitution of mild, nour-
ishing drinks like beer, which seldom
produce drunkenness. A prominent
army officer who served in the South
west, operated canteens at three diff
| ferent posts. He made the canteens
so acceptable to the soldiers, who
that he actually ran all the low dives
of the surrounding neighborhood out
of business. -
Pabst Beer meets all the demands
for mild, healthful. refreshing bever-
age such as Miss Cousins suggests: 1t
is made of the exclusive Pabst eight
day malt, choicest hops and pure
water. Eight-day malt, which is the
only perfect malt. gives Pabst Beer its
. superior food value and richness. Strong
in nourishment the body requires, it liz
refreshing and satisfying.
Perfect in age, purity and strength
absolutely clean and containing only
three and one-half per cent of alcohol
Pabst Beer is the ideal temperance
beverage. No other is so healthful.
