MAY BE AN EXTRA SESSION.
President Wants to Get Action on
Santo Domingo Matter.

Washington.--The treaty between
the United States and Santo Domingo,
which has been pending in the United
States senate for ratification since
1905, Is to be displaced by an entirely
new treaty, which will be sent to the
senate soon after February Is.
The Santo Domingo treaty as nego.
dated two years ago now ceases, there
fore, to be possible cause for an ex.
ira session of the senate. The new
treaty, which will be in a greatly SIM
plified form, freed from nearly all the
causes of controversy embodied In the
convention that has been pending, may
be ratified before the expiration of
this congress on March. At this stage
of the session, however. the slightest
resistance would compel postpone
ment of its ratification.

THAW NOT RESPONSIBLE
WHEN he KILLED Whit
Such ls the Conclusion Reached by
the Superintendent of the New
York state Hospital for the
Insane.

New York.-Answering a hypotheti.
cal question covering every detail OF
tho testimony up TO this time in the
Thaw trial, including Mrs. Evelyn Mes
bit Thaw's narration of her life his
tory, DIR. Charles G., Wagner, superin'
tendent of the state hospital for the
insane at Binghamton, N. Y. de.
clared on the witness stand on Mon.
day that in his opinion Harry X. Thaw
did not know that his act was wrong
when he shot and killed Stanford
White.
DR.. Wagner's opinion Of hypotheti.
cal question, the man under considera-
tion being the author of letters which
have been introduced as emanating
from Harry Thaw during his estrange-
ment with Evelyn Nesbit after their
return from Europe in 1908, furnished
a day of legal sparring between Del.
phin M. Delmas, of the defense, and
Mr.. Jerome for the prosecution.
Mr.. Jerome effectually blocked the
completion for the time being Of the
testimony of Mrs. EVELYN Thaw by
insisting that before she should go
further competent testimony as to
Thaw's unsoundness of mind should
be given. Mr.. Delmas tried to carry
forward the young wife's story, but
the district attorney was on his feet
with an objection to every question.

WELL CAVES IN ON DIGGER.
Was Buried For Twenty-Four Hours,
But Suffers Little Injury.

South Omaho, Neb.-After being
imprisoned at the bottom of a forty.
foot well, covered with tons of earth,
for twenty-fo hours and receiving
his air supply through an iron well
pipe, Herman Frankholdt, well dig
ger, was dug out and found unin-
jured. Frankholdt was digging well
near South Omaha Monday morning.
Monday night he failed to return
home Tuesday search was made
for him. The well where he had been
working had caved in Taps were
heard on the gaspipe iron ladder
which he had been using and con
versation was held through the hollow
tube. Frankholdt was protected when
the cavern occurred by the iron lad
der through which supply of fresh
air reached him. He kept up a con
tinual tapping on the ladder, hoping
some one would hear him. After eight
hours digging the man was released.

STEAMER SUNK
BY A SCHOONER
Half Naked Passengers Soon
Succumb to Cold and Sink
Beneath Icy Waves.
or the Two Hundred People on Board
the Vessel When She Sailed, Only
Nineteen Appear to Have Sur
vived Disaster off Rhode
Island Coast.

Rock Island r. About $50 per
sons went to their death In Block Is
land sound as result of collision
of the three-masted schooner Harry
Knowleton and the Joy line steamer
Larchmont, bound from Providence to
New York. 1t Is estimated that, includ-
ing the crew, there were nearly 200
persons on board the steamer when
she sailed from Providence. OF these,
only nineteen appear to have survived
the disaster ten members of the crew
and nine passengers. Forty-eight
bodies have been recovered.
Awakened from their slumbers in
their staterooms, the unfortunate pas
sengers were at the mercy of the
fates. Many it is believed, went down
with the ship. Others, temporarily
thankful that they had escaped drown.
Ing prayed that they might be re-
lieved of the terrible pain caused by
their frozen bodies, and one unknown
passenger plunged knife into his
throat and ended his sufferings.
The few who survived were in pitt
full condition. In almost every case
their arms and legs hung helplessly
as they were lifted out of the boats
in which they reached shore. During
the day forty-elght bodies came ashore,
either in boats or thrown up by the
sea.
The cause of the accident has not
been satisfactorily explained, 1t oc-
Cured just off Watch Hill about Ii
o'clock at night, when the three-mast-
ed schooner Harry Knowleton, bound
from South Amboy for Boston with a
! cargo of coal, crashed into the steam.
I er's port side amidships. Captain
/ George McVey of the Larchmont de-
clares that the Knowleton suddenly
swerved from her course, luffed up
into the wind aud crashed into his
vessel.
| Captain Haley, of the Knowleton,
} asserts that the steamer did not give
his vessel sufficient sea room.
The steamer, with huge hole torn
In her side, was so seriously dam
aged that no attempt was made to
run for shore, and she sank to the
bottom in less than half an hour. The
! Knowleton, after she had backed
away from the wreck, began to fill
rapidly, but her crew manned the
pumps and kept her afloat until she
reached point off Quonochontaug,
where they put out in the lifeboat and
rowed ashore. There were no fatali.
ties on the schooner.
A majority of those aboard the
: Larchmont had retired for the night,
and when the collision occurred there
were few, with the exception of the
crew, prepared for the weather which
prevailed. They hurried from the
warm staterooms to the deck of the
steamer and into zero atmosphere.
Chilled to the bone, Inany rushed
headlong below to secure more cloth
ing; while others, barefooted, bare.
headed and clad only in nightgowns,
stood on the deck fearing that to go
below would mean certain death.

CAPTAIN SAVED HIMSELF
LEFT WOMEN TO DROWN
Survivors Tell Thrilling Tales Of the
Wreck OF the Steamer Larchmont.
Grave Charges Against
Captain,

Providence, Il. Terrible tales of
suffering were brought here by some
of the survivors of the steamer Larch-
mont, which went to the bottom in
Block Island sound Monday night, and
some of the passengers assert that In
the hour of peril helpless women
were thrust aside by men who cared
only for their own, safety.
The charge of cowardice was made
by Fred Heirgesell, an lSyear-old lad
of Brooklyn, n Y. He said that not
only were women left 10 their fate,
but that Captain McVey left the sink
ing ship in the very first life boat;
that some of the ships crew fiiled the
boats to the exclusion of the passen
gers, and that at least one boat was
without oars when It was put over the
side.
A careful compilation of figures in
this city early Wednesday shows that
1873 lives are known to have been
lost in the disaster. 1t is known
that there were not less than 157 per-
sons on board. OF that number only
nineteen survived. Seventy-one bod
les have been recovered thirty-eight
of them having been identified. There
are still 100 passengers who are
either missing or unidentified.
A thrilling story of the disaster is
told by Harris Feldman, of New York
who with his wife WAS saved. After
dressing. Feldman and his wife ran to
the hurricane deck A wave struck
the top OF the steamer and riped off
huge piece of the superstructure
upon which they and many other pas
sengers were standing. AS the wreck
age slipped off into the sea many OF
the passenger either fell backward
into the saloon of the steamer, or
were thrown into the water. After
the wreckage, which was in effect
an immense raft had been away from
the ship a few moments, Mr.. Field
man counted his companions. Be-
sides himself and his wife there were
thirty-three on board, but they were
crowded so badly that one by one
they began to drop off into the sea.
Some, crazed by the cold, jumped
from the raft and were drowned. 9th
ers sitting near the edge, were
swept away, and still others, frozeb
to death. dropped into the water. AL
hour after the raft had been swept
from the steamer there were but six
teen persons on it, and of these only
eight were alive.
