Seaman Walsh the Ninth to Succumb-Tw0 More Hopeless Cases = Six Bodies Sent Home to Rel atives.
THEIR EXPERIENCES
Rescuers Could Not Enter Place Un-
 til They Had Poured in Water
 Were Making Good Gun Records Story of Tragedy.

' Boston, Mass, July 17.-The bodies of six of the victims of the explosion on board the battleship Georgia Monday. have been claimed by relatives and sent home from the United States naval hospital at Chelsea and two more bodies will be sent tomorrow. The body of the ninth victim of the disaster, Sea- man Edward F. Walsh of Lynn, who died this afternoon, still lies on cot in the naval hospital. Walsh's mother, Mrs. M. Walsh, and a brother were with him when he died. Tomorrow his body will be t an ketLoETAOruffffff vbgkqj bgk taken to Lynn for interment.
 Of the twelve other young men who faced death in the turret of the battleship, and who now lie m the naval hospital, it is possible that two, Seaman James P. Thomas of Brooklyn, N. Y., and Louis Mees of Cincinnatti, may not survive the night. Five others are in serious condition, with strong hopes that three of them may recover, while the rest of the injured are we'll on the way to recovery. No word o1 complaint or of pain or criticism comes from a one of the sufferers but frequently from the burned ana aWollen lips is whispered question as to how "the other fellows are eetting along" At the head o1 each cot in the naval hospltai stands a boquet of flowers sent oy XdmirarYamamoto of the Japanese nayy through his aide, Lieutenant x sCommander Taniguchi.

Advertiser!


Trade that is worth having is worth asking for, and the merchant who sits down and waits for business to come to him without making any ef- fort for it will have a long time to wait. This is no age for slug gards in the business world. The man who succeeds nowa- days must be up and doing early in the morning. or he will find out when it is too late that success does not come without hard work and plenty of it. The merchant who is satisfied to accept whatever portion of trade comes his way without trying for a larger share is de- cidedly out of touch with the spirit of the times.

BATTLESHIP GEORGIA
 VICTIMS STILL DYING

Battleship Georgia, which cost eight
 lives and caused injury to thirteen
 other men in Cape Cod bay yes terday. MT. Hansel said:
 None of us knew much about it until it was over, it was so quick. When l saw the first flash instinct told me what was up, and I kept presence of mind enough to dodge back from the sheet of flame that
 began to envelope the turret l got
 down to the floor. crawled und the gun and crawled out of the bort holes as far as I could get Here I could get some air, and I was so low down that the fumes could not hurt me seriously. Kimball was with me and he did not get a burn. My hand was burned when l held an iron rod and got burned around the head, but I guess it is not very bad.
 
 'The instant the first flash came Lieutenant Goodrich, who was in charge of the work in the turret, rushed to the hatchway on top of the turret, thinking to get out be- fore the turret filled with smoke and gas, but the powder was too thick for him and he was horribly
 burned before he could get to the
 air and safety. Seaman Maleek was
 sitting on top of the turret, where he was stationed to take messages, with his legs hanging down the hatchway. Influenced probably by Lieutenant Goodrich, who, madden
 en by his sufferings, plunged into the sea, he threw himself overheard too.
 "The first flash was followed quickly by a second from the bag pow der. each containing about 106 pounds
 of smokeless powder. There was

But living men could not enter the turret until the heat had been overcome by pouring ln water, which also settled the smoke and drove out the gases to some ex- tent. Those poor fellows were ter ribly burned, some so as to be unrec- oenizable. Eyes were burned out; faces, bodies and arIls and legs black ened. and there were no features left on some Of the charred faces. Great Target Record. "Midshipman Cruse was pointing the gun when the flash came, and was by his side. He did not move away from the sheet Of name as
 quickly as I did, and was fearfully burned. We were making a record, all right. Lieutenant Goodrich took 1 great pride in. tEe work and had all the men worked up to enthusiasm.

CAUSE OF MONEY PANIC

President Wylie OF the National City
Bank Of Grand Rapids has the following
to say Of the present panic in the Grand
Rapids Herald:
mot every body knows the causes Of
the present stringency The money is in
the country and in addition to the usual
supply are the millions Of gold imported
from Europe, the millions of new coinage
from the mints and the millions Of new
taken out by the national banks
We probably have more money in tbs
country than ever before The trouble j.
that instead Of circulating freely and nor
mally the money is being locked up OF
boarded. AZ first the money was fright
ened into etlrement. but the later phases
indicate a speculative spirit, the money
being gathered up to be sold at premium
to those who need il for pay rolls and
other purposes

passed through the thinner part Of the
fish near the fin and secured on the
under side By a small bone button.
The FISH do not appear to suffer incon-
venience and their growth is not in.

The thoroughness with which the
North sea is swept by the nets of the
fishing fleets is demonstrated by the
fact that out Of 5000 marked place
OF all sizes 992 We're recaptured with
in year. This represents 1917 per
cent, or nearly one-ffth, but fbf the
mediumsized fish the figures a}e far
higher ranging from 2S.4 to 80 per
cent for the whole OF the NORM sea
and to 43 per cent. in the more north
ern portions.
The men of the regular fishing fleet
cooperate by forwarding to the labor
atory of the association at Lowestoft
all the marked'fish they catch. Az the
laboratory reference to the records
easily establishes how much the fish
have gained in size and weight since
the previous catching Moreover the
distance between the spot where IL
was released and the place where it
was again caught gives an idea as to
its movements.
