LlFE-SAvERS UNABLE TO HELP
Rotterdam Steamer Berlin, With 141
Passengers and Crew of SO. Wreck
ed OFF the Hook Of Holland, Every
Soul Aboard With One Exception
Disappearing in Mountainous
Waves.

London, By Cable.-The Rotterdam
mail steamer Berlin, from England,
with 141 passengers and crew, was
wrecked off the Hook Of Holland, at
the entrance of the River Maas, lead,
ing to Rotterdam, shortly before 9
O'Clock Friday morning, and with one
exception all Oh board persisted.
A terrific southwesterly gale was
blowing right in shore and drove
the Berlin on a sand bank close to
the northern jetty as she was trying
to enter the new waterway. Heavy
seas quickly pounded the vessel TO-
pieces. She broke in two, her fore
part sinking Immediately, while the
doomed passengers and crew could
be seen for brief space OF time
clustered on the afterpart: Then tho
afterpart slipped off the ledge and dis
appeared in the mountainous waves
Tugs and life boats, when the alarm
was first sounded, promptly put ont
to the assistance Of the Berlin, bntl
the violence of the gale and the
heavy seas made it impossible to apr
proach the wreck, and, the helpless
would-be life savers saw the steamer
break up and the crew and passcng-
ers washed away without being able
to render the slightest assistance.
The Berlin left Harwich at ~
O'Clock Thursday night, upoa the arr
rival there of the London tain with
the greatest number of passengers
who subsequently lest their lives. The
steamer should have reached the Hook
of Holland at 6 'clock Friday morn
ing and would have then proceeded
for Rotterdam. -.
All or Board Drowned. Y
As the Berlin was entering the
waterway at the entrance Of the river
Mas, she apparently became unnian-
agable on account Of the force Of that
wind and was driven ashore. The
alarm was given and life boats from
the shore went to the assistance OF
the steamer, but the seas were so high
that the boats were unable ito APP
proach the Berlin close enough to-
take off any of the passengers or
crew and the life boat men had TO !
sit helpless while the steamer pound
ed until She broke an two and every
soul on board was carried down The
steamer apparently struck of and
sank Immediately, while her aftcr-
part could be seen for o considerable
period of time afterwards. s.
The waterway in which the disas-
ter occurred is new one on the north
side Of which is the pier and railroad
station. The steamer must have been
within few miles Of tying up after
her rough passage across the North
Sea when she was overtaken by the I
disaster. Land was but q few yards
away, and except in N$he roughest
weather those on board tbs 1ac2in
could have been rescued without difs
fculty especially as the waterway is :
navigable at all tides. ri :. s.

COMPROMISE FOR BELGIUM.
Retirement of Belgian Delegate
Averted at the Last Moment.

BRUSSELS, September 16.-The retire.

Their participation in the work of the peace
conference at The Hague has been averted
by compromise effected at the last mo-
ment, by which the Belgian representative
is to be absolved from voting against the
proposal for compulsory arbitration.
Instructions sent M. Beernaert by his gov
eminent to cast the vote of the Belgian
delegation against the arbitration proposal
brought out Immediately from Belgium s
first representative notification of his in
tention to resign from the delegation, and
the statement that as a lifelong supporter
of the cause of arbitration he unequivocally
refused to vote against the measure.
The resignation of NJ. Beernaert would
have meant the practical extinction of Bel
GUM as factor in the conference, and So
in order to overcome this ,.fficulty, the
government has arranged that on the ques-
ton Of arbitration NJ. van den Heuvel and
Baron Guillaume shall be considered Bel
GUMS sole representatives.
In order that there be no misunderstand-
ing in the future regarding his attitude NJ
Beernaert has insisted that mention of this
arrangement be made in the minutes of the
conference, and this will be done.

There was no one else at hand at the
time OF the accident. at 2:30 o'clock, and IT
was some time before Mr.. Jaffe could get
help. Policeman Hale sent q call for an
ambulance to Bellevue. Mr. Bacon died

At that time Mr.. Jafre knew only that his
restaurant acquaintance had said that his
name was Bacon, but knew nothing else of
him. Detectives were sent out to find what
company had sent automobile ont at tina
hour of the morning, but last night still
were in ignorance.

Bishop Says President Ordered Drinks
for Vice President.

DETROIT, September 16.-That Presi-
dent Roosevelt himself asked for the cock
tails served at Vice President Fairbanks
dinner at indianapolis which got the Vice
President into trouble with his Methodist
brethren is the story told by Bishop Jo-
seph F. Berry on the authority of In
danapolis churchmen.
There probably is no doubt that liquor
of some sort appeared on the Vice Presi-
dents table when he entertained President
Roosevelt in Indianapolis" said the bishop
yesterday, but as 1t is told to me the Vice
President did not order the drinks and did
not even know they were served. Mr.
Fairbanks never touches a drop of any
intoxicant himself but II Is well known
that President Roosevelt likes drink now
and then.
When he came to Indianapolis the
word went from the President to the
caterer, either directly or through his sec
rotary, that he wanted the drinks. ana
the drinks were served. The arrange
ments were entirely in the hands Of the
caterer, and 1t Is credible that Mr. Fair
banks did not even notice that they were
on the table.
Saturday had my first opportunity
really to meet the Vice President. I had
been casually introduced to him before,
but I never was at a place where / hal
the opportunity of visiting with him and
taking his measure. He certainly has
been maligned when they say that he is
Icy. He mixed with the people in the
most democratic manner.
He Is a thoroughly clean man. and one
Of whom the denomination may well be
proud. His church associates in Indianap-
oils are talking of him as lay delegate
to the general conference at Baltimore.
and the so-called cocktail incident is be-
ing used very much against him by GER

DROWNED BRIDE a RUNAWAY.
Mrs John Crost Was Miss Marguerite
Fitzgerald.

NEW YORK, September 16.-The young
girl known as Mrs John Crost, who was
drowned Tuesday night from w. D. Ben
netts yacht in the Delaware river, was iden-
tilted last night Marguerite Fitzgerald OF
242 Icnox avenue, this city. According TO K.
b. Walker, unc,e of the girl 1t seems that
she met John Crost of Hartford, England.
at dinner in this city about five weeks
ago He courted her without the knowledge
OF her parents, and three weeks ago the
pair went to Rhode Island and were mar
ried. At the time of her disappearance On
alarm was sent out by the police and no
efforts were spared to find the girl, who
had failed to leave any word. After the
drowning Crost came TO New York and
told Mr.. Walker the entire story. Mr.. Crost
SAID that while they were sailing a squail
came up, and before Mrs. Crost could
get below the boom jbed and swept her
into the water. The blow from TIE boom
evidently stunned her. for she did not
rise to the surface. Crost went I'm after
her, as did two of the crew, but no trace Of
her body was found until last night when
il was washed ashore near the scene of the
accident.
Mrs. Fitzgerald is said to be seriously Ill.,
suffering from nervous shock due to her
daughters disappearance. She not
notified last night of the girls death.

Pleas for Appearances Are
Now Being Ignored.

Special Cablegram to The Star.
THE HAGUE. September 16.-The proce IS
of formulating the rights Of nations has led
to a diametrically opposite conclusion to
the French revolutionary dictum on the
rights of man. So far from admitting that
all men are equal, the conference Is having
to recognize that no two powers are equal
This vital distinction between the impor-
lance of votes given by the various countries
has reduced the rule of the conference that
opinions should be counted, not weighed to
nullity The powers are, now that the
rapidly in the protection of national in
terests and are largely ignoring pleas for
harmony for the sake of appearances.
The naval prize court threatens to be left
a derelct by this rapid development of the
concern OF the delegates for their countries
interests. The commission which was en-
gagged in framing code which the court
should apply, failed to get into agreement
as to the amount of coal viii III belliger
ent should be allowed to load in a neutral
port, and this week failed again on the
proposition of naming the distance within
which blockaders can enforce their rights
against neutrals. great majority of the
smaller powers wished the distance to be
a hundred miles or less as the limit but
England and Japan refused to assent to
anything under 800 miles, which means the
right to search neutrals approaching
blockaded coast at distance of two days
steaming of a tifteen-knot boat.
CLOSED With Politeness.
The failure to frame rules for guild
ing the prize court leaves the decision in
actual cases to the untrammeled personal
opinion Of the international judges, and
here again the English delegation refuses
blanche to the list of foreign jurists selected
by chance to upset the decisions of her
supreme court. The same difficulty Of
framing rules has relegated the creation Of
permanent bench of arbitrational judges
to the category Of things for future discus
sion between separate governments.
1t is expected here that the all-around
questions will be CLOSED over by an ex-
preston of the hope on the part of the
conference for Wo~k between now and the
next reunion seven years hence
This proposal can only take the form of
a pious aspiration, since the question of
future meetings is not the program of
the conference Several important govern
ments which have refused to instruct their
delegations on the question have expressed
the intention of radically overhauling the
institution before entering the conference
again.
M. Bourgeois and Baron Won Bieberstein,
who are consulting their respective govern
ments at Paris and Berlin, are expected to
return in a few days with instructions to
wind up the proceedings and dispense.
