PIER pLuNGEs INTO THE HAReoR
Eight Lives Lost When Big New
Structure Tumbies Into Water.

Baltimore. April 30. - With roar
that terrified thousands and with a rush
that drove a wave six feet high to dis
tant parts of the inner harbor of Bal
timore, nearly half of a new pier I'M
der construction at Locust Point
broke away from the shore end and
plunged into the water.
Out OF the wreckage three dead bod
les have been taken, five men are miss
ing and their bodies are almost GER
tainly beneath the ruins. and eighteen
men are suffering from injuries more
or less severe.
Ships Torn Loose.
A remarkable fleet of the disaster
was seen in the shipping in the har-
Dor. At the pier adjoining the wreck
ed structure the North German Lloyd
steamer Cassel was moored and on
board were a large number of immi-
grants. The immense wave that fol-
lowed the plunge Of the new pier into
the water lifted the big Cassel in the
air. dashed her against the pier and
crushed it badly, at the same time
tearing the steamer from her moorings
and casting her adrift. The immigrants
were for a short time in a state Dor
dering on panic, and two of them jump
ed overheard, but were rescued.
Snapped Like Irvine.
The Neptune line steamer Ripon
was also torn from the dock where she
was mOored, as also was the Norwe-
gian steamer Fortuna, loaded with
steel rails. Her wire hawsers We're
snapped like Irvine. The harbor is
narrow where the accident occurred
and the initial wave and its rebound
from the opposite shore cast number
of smaller vessels adrift and caused
much confusion for a time.

PfARY IS SHORT OF FUNDS
EXPLORER MAY HAVE TO ADAM
DON HIS DASH TO THE
POLE.

New York, April 30.--I.ack Of money
ton. may mean the abandonment of
the dash to the north pole which Com
mander Robert f. Peary has planned
for this summer. The explorer, who
has earned the distinction of having
reached the farthest north" and who
may truly be said to live for the pur-
pose of revealing to the world the
mysteries of The pole itself, is deeply
downcast at the possibility that he
may, not be able to try again.
This is work which | must do, a
work, great work. for which ] was in
tended said Commander Peary yes
terday to a representative of the Asso-
ciated Press. He was not boastful, but
modest in manner and with the sim
plicity of speech of a man convinced
that he was born for this great pur-
pose and that he must accomplish it.
And with a confidence that his work
must be helped from somewhere he
added:
THE money will come; somehow I
feel certain of that. But if | was only
assured now, what relief it would
be and how ] could concentrate all my
energies on the details of the expedi-
ton
Remember we were but ia nauti-
cal miles from the goal on our last
trip. 1t would be a pity, indeed, If we
could not try again"

MAY BRING SUIT TO
TEST 2-CENT LAW
TO RESTRAIN NORTHERN PACIFIC
OFFICERS FROM ACCEPT
ING BILL.
STOCKHOLDERS TAKE ACTION
PURPOSE is SIMPLY TO AScER-
TAIN LEGALITY OF NEW
MEASURE.

New York, April 80. - 1t is under
stood that certain large stockholders
will soon bring suit against the Off
GERS of the Northern Pacific Railway
company to restrain them from accept
ing for the company the 2-cent passen-
ger fare bill recently passed by the
Minnesota state Legislature.
This of course would be a friendly
action so far as the attitude OF the
stockholders toward the Northern Pa
Cific officials is concerned, and would
be for the purpose of testing the le-
gality of the new measure
Action Is important.
The state could not be sued. so the
only possible defendant is the railroad
company.
1t is understood that the bill under
consideration by the stockholders who
are to be the plaintiffs will also cover
any perpendicular reductions in
freight rates that may be ordered by
the state authorities.
Great Importance will be attached to
this action If it is actually brought
If it We're carried to the highest courts
the final decision would of course
have a bearing upon the railroads of
the United States, as it would define
the authority Of state authorities TO
take summary action on the question
of rates.
