not So bad. but il gave the ship ter
rible list. The schooner hit us so hard
that she simply drove both OF her an
chors deep into the Columbia's side, and
then the two ships drew apart, and |
heard water pouring in. We got to
the deck, but by that time the ship had
listed so far to starboard that the port
boats could not be lowered, That ae-
counts for lot of the deaths, for what
boats we had were launched in pretty
fair shape, and with the Others we could
have done more. Ii was bad wreck,
the kind that takes the nerve out of
man, coming so sudden, and making you
feel at once that there was no hope
for the ship at all. She was simply
ripped open from deck to keel"

The Boilers Did Not Explode.

Willie Lewis, a young oiler, who was
making his first trip on the Columbia,
tells the following story of his COM
rades:
"There was no explosion on the ship,
as has been printed, and the reason is
that three men stayed below and
drowned, as the seas poured into the
scalding steam around them, while they
opened the valves of the boilers and
struggling with the pumps, hoping vain
ly to keep the Columbia above water a
few minutes longer, All three died
down there, after almost everybody else
was above. They were: Nose Burpee,
assistant engineer; AL Anderson, an
oiler, and man named Mccoy.
"John Porter, a water-tender, was
below with me when the crash came,

New Copyright Law Is Said
10 BE an Extremely Radical One

of Mr.. Thomas A. Edison, and ]. j.
O'Connell, Of New York who pre-
sented their conclusions as to the
proper bill to be reported. Mi.
Currier. OF New Hampshire, chair
man of the house committee
on patents, reported bill elimi-
mating the extremely radical and OBJ
jectionable features OF the original
bill, and giving the right to the repro
duction OF music by mechanical de-
vices except as to public performances
for profit. This new bill received the
unanimous support of the house COM
mittee and was reported by Mr.. Cur
rier and printed and placed in the
privileged status class, which means
that it can be called up at any time
that the appropriation bills are di-
vided. Senator Latimer. kittredge and
Clapp favored the radical features of
the bill. while Senator Foster, Mallo-
roy, and Smoot disagreed with their as
.scciate, Senator Knox, who had not at
tended the hearings permitted the
chairman. it is understood, to cast
his vote in favor of the report. Sena-
tor Foster, Malloroy and Smoot made
minority report to the senate in
which they arraign the provisions of
the majority report. The effect of the
kittredge bill, if passed, would be to
absolutely drive out of business all
the Independent manufactures of me-
chanical musical instruments in the
country. The history of this attempted
legislation and the reason why of it
is as follows: 1t is and has always
been the law Of the land that a COM
poser's copyright on piece of music
did not follow and attach to that melo-
dy when reproduced by mechanical
or automatic devices. as for instance,
the photograph, electric piano self
player, music box, etc. The earliest
leading case upon the subject is the
McTammany case, so called, in which
this principle was laid down, and
which in effect has been followed by
every decision since-the last case be-

warehouses. This means that at CEN
trail points throughout the United
States there may be established de-
naturizing plants under the supervi-
sion of treasury inspectors in order
that the consumer may be brought
close to the point of manufacture.
Judging from the experience of other
countries where the right to use de-
natured alcohol freely has been con-
coded for from twenty-five to fifty
years, probably two-thirds of the
entire consumption will be of what
is known las completely denatured"
spirit. This is what is used for
domestic purposes, for heating, cook
ing, lighting, for all kinds of in
ternal explosion engines and for many
manufacturing uses.
1t follows, therefore, that with the
great area of the United States and
the distances between the natural
points of production, the cost of trans
portation, or assembling the ingredi-
ents will be one of the largest items
of expense. The wood alcohol indus
try is largely conferred today in the
states of New York, Pennsylvania and
Michigan. The cheapest ethyl alco-
hol will be made from West India
molasses on the Atlantic coast, from
corn in the corn belt; from potatoes
in Maine and in the northwest and
from waste of sugar production in
Hawaii, louisiana and the beet sugar
states.
In this connection it is interesting
to know that the bill which passed the
house on Thursday is compromise
measure growing out of bills intro
duced by Representative Hill, of Con-
necticut who provided for the appli-
cation of the law to the manufacture
OF ether, chloroform and other defin-
tie chemical substances where the al
cohol is changed into some other
chemical substance and does not ap-
pear in the finished product; by Mr..
Marshall, of North Dakota, who want
ed a practical adoption of the German
locked still and tank system for agri-
cultural distilleries; by Mr.. Volstead
of Minnesota and by Mr.. Gronna OF
North Dakota, the former favoring a
still with a capacity of thirty gallons
output per day and the latter limiting
the output to fifteen gallons.

(Dy e. C. SNYDER,

Washington, D. c., Feb. 1S.-One of
the most important measures now
pending before congress and which
has attracted wide attention and dis
cussion in the proposed new copyright
law. The measure had its inception in
series of conferences called by Her.
bert Putnam, librarian of the con-
gressional library and the subsequent
framing of a bill by him and his con-
ference associates. Mr.. George w.
Pound. OF Buffalo, counsel for large
interests opposed to the bill is here.
In an interview today Mr.. Pound gave
your correspondent this interesting
summary of the situation:
The proposed legislation is radical
in several respects and an entirely
new departure in copyright law. The
manufacturers of automatic and me-
chanical musical instruments and de-
vices were not included in the invita-
tons sent out by Mr.. Putnam. This
conference prepared bill which was
introduced in the senate by Senator
Kittredge. of South Dakota. For the
first time in the history of legislation
in this country, the reproduction of
music by automatic or mechanical
means was brought within the realm
of the copyright law. On the hearings
before the patent committees of the
house and senate the manufacturers
for the first time had an opportunity
to be heard. They were not repre-
sented in the preliminary conferences,
nor did they have knowledge OF them.
The result of this was that adverse
interests framed the bill and it was
radically and wholly antagonistic to
all interests except those at the star
chamber conferences-manufacturing
interests representing almost seventy
million dollars of invested capital
were represented at the committee
hearings in opposition to the bills by
Prof. Walker, the noted patent au-
thority; Paul Cromelin, Photographic
expert; Mr.. Uryer, personal attorney
