COAL pASSERS
BURN ON SHIP
FLAMES DESTROY STEAMER ON
LAKE MICHIGAN.
MANY LIVES IN DANGER
Crew Works HeroicaIIy and Assist

Men in the Hold Are Unable to Get
Out and Are Overcome by Smoke
and Flames.

Grand Haven, Mich, May 22.-Five
lives were lost and about rs people
had a perilously close escape from
death when the passenger and freight
steamer Naomi of the Crosby Trans
portatiOn company burned yesterday
in the middle Of Lake Michigan while
on her regular night trip from this
port to Milwaukee.
Four Of the victims were coal pass
ers who were penned down in the
fOrecastle by the flames, where many
of the rescued passengers from the
decks of the freighter Kerr and the
steamer Kansas saw them at the port
holes vainly imploring for help. j. M.
RhOadeS of Detroit, a passenger, was
the fifth victim. He was terribly
burned in his berth and died soon
Rapids. The steamer was burned to
the waters edge and has been tOwed
into this harbor, where she lies at
her dock, smoldering hulk.
The fire broke out at 100 o'clock
between decks in the forward end. 1t
spread with tremendous rapidity and
it was apparent almost from the first
that it was vain for the crew to fight
the flames and attention was turned
to arOusing the passengers and get
ting them on deck The crew worked
like heroes to save the people. Sig
nails for help were answered in a few
moments by the steamers Kerr, Kan
sas and Saxonia. Several life RATS
and boats on the Naomi were de-
stroyed before the crew could get
them lowered. By the time the three
steamers had reached the scene the
Naomi's boats were in the water
filled with people, and number of
passengers were still huddled on the
stern of the burning ship. The cap
tain of the Kerr ran his big steel
ship up under the Naomi's stern so
close that the imperilled people
leaped to her deck Then the screams
of the imprisoned coal passeTs were
heard from the bow portfolios. Vainly
they begged for help. The portfolios
were too small for them to pass
through and they we're compelled to
fall back into the smoke and fire,
where they were burned to death.
The Kansas took on board the half
clad and terribly shocked and fright
ened passenger and brought them to
this port. Ali were loud in their
praise of the Naomi's crew and their
bravery and GOODNESS. Stewart Ross
bach and Purser Hanrahan. who res
cued RhOades from his berth when
the cabin was filed with flames, were
especially commended.

Odessa, May 22.-The black nun
dreds took advantage Of the funeral
yesterday of three police officials, as
sassinated at the central police ou-
reau Monday, to renew the attacks on
the Jews. The whole Jewish popula-
ton became terror stricken, all stores
were closed and the streets were al
most deserted Jews and students
were barbarously attacked end beat
en- and Jewish houses were fired
upon.
The signal for the beginning OF the
trouble yesterday was the firing of
shot at the funeral procession from a
window. This wounded a cossack
slightly, whereupon the mans com
rades fired three volleys into the
building whence this shot had come,
SCATTERING all windows. Soldiers sur
rounded the house and 80 persons
were arrested. including the man who
fired the shot He is a member Of

The vast enterprise of the Southern Pacific railroad or Hartman interests on the west coast of Mexico from Guaymas to Guadalaiara, and up the Yaqui valley and to Cananea, which lines in the next two or three years will be connected with the city and state of Chihuahua by means of the Sierra Madre and Pacific and the Kan sas City, Mexico and Orient railroads was due to Colonel ". c. Greene, It was he who got the Southern Pacific to take over the little railroad down to the Cananea copper mines a very few years ago and this was the enter ing wedge, So to speak, from which the Cananea, Yaqui River and Pacific system, now in process of construc. ton at a prodigious rate, has devel- oped The real credit goes back to Mir.
