BURNED TO DEATH
Flaming Gasoline Surrounds Crew
of SWampsd Launch.
Several Prominent Young Men of
New York Meet Horrible Fate
While os Pleasure Trip.

At New York four young men were
drowned and. three others, all from
good families. were so seriously burn
ed in the explosion of a gasoline
launch on Raritan Bay early Thurs
day that they may die.
For three hours after the explosion
the three survivors clung to the rail
of the launch and fought off the
flaming gasoline which surrounded
them in the water.
The dead:
Harry P. Barter, bookkeeper of ;he
First National bank of Perth Amboy.
Floyd McHose, draghtsman,
Perth Amboy.
Edward J. Olsen, bookkeeper,
Perth Amboy.
Charles Wickburg, clerk in the
Perth Amboy Terra Gotta company.
The injured:
Joseph j. Horsby, bookkeeper Ma
tional Fire Proofing company; badly
burned.
Nelson P. Macau, a draughtsman,
Perth Amboy, burns.
Richard Rubedee, draughtsman,
burns.
The seven young men started late
at night from Perth Amboy in a
large gasoline launch owned by Ma
can, for Keyport.
When two miles off Keyport one
of them lighted a match to ignite a
cigar. A spark flew into the drip
pings of gasoline in the bot
tom of the boat and instantly COM
municated the flames to the 50-gallon
tank in the head of the boat. There
was terrific explosion and the seven
men were hurled into the water.
The boat was set aflre and those
who survived the first shock-fve of
them-swam back to the launch. Two
had been drowned at the first INNER
sion. The survivors caught the boat
rail or the same side and tried to
tip it so as to flood it with water and
extinguish the flames. Instead the
first tip of the launch sent many gall
Ions of flaming gasoline on the water
about the swimming men, driving
them away from the boat.
This time only three of the men
returned to the boat, two having been
so blinded by the burning gasoline
that they were drowned.
The three survivors, Hornsby, Ma
eau and Rubedee, held to the boat
for three hours while their hands
were burned to a crisp by the flames
which were shootisg up and making
a bright torch out on the bay. They
were almost dead and ready to drop
off and drown when the freight
steamer st. Michael, plying between
New York and Perth Amboy, came
along and, being attracted by the
torch of burning gasoline. sent help.

WOMAN VICTIM OF CRIME.
Dead Body of Beautiful Woman
Found in New York.

With the discovery of mysterious
boat in the case, t'.ere remained lit
tie doubt that woman at that time
unidentified, whose body was found
lying on the New York Centra! tracks
below the West 11Sth street and
Riverside drive, was the victim OF a
gang that may have killed her at cne
of the resorts on the other side OF
the river from New York.
The woman was ABOUT thirty years
old and of medium height. Her na1r
was dark brown and unusually heavy.
Her face had apparently been pretty
the mouth regular, and teeth espec-
tally good. Her hands were white
and without the appearance of haV-
ing done hard work. She was
dressed entirely in black with a
black shirt waist, black skirt anu
black shoes and stockings.

Lake DISASTER.
TWeuty-0ne Men and a Fine
Freight Steamer Lost.
ONLY ONE MAN SAVED.

The Fine Steel Freighter Cyprus,
Launched August II, Lost-Foun-
ders in Lake Superior and the Only
Survivor is Washed Ashore Lashed
to Raft, Half Dead and Unable
to Tell the Story.
Bound down from the head of the
lakes on the second trip she had
made since being launched at Lorain,
Ohio, on August last, the fine steel
freighter Cyprus, 440 feet long and
owned by the Lackawanna Trapspor-
tation Company, of Cleveland, Ohio,
foundered Saturday night in Lake
Superior, off Deer Park, taking
down with her twenty-five members
Of the crew.
Second Mate C. ]. Pitt, washed
ashore, lashed to rail, is the only
person left alive of the ships crew,
and his condition is SO critical that
since he was found on the beach, he
has only been able to gasp out the
name Of the sunken ship and the
fact that twenty-five lives were lost.
Pitt is suffering from the dreadful
exposure in the icy waters of Lake
Superior, in addition to the buffeting
he received from the breakers. Until
he RECEIVERS sufficiently to talk the
story of the wreck and exact cause
of the stout steel ship founderlng will
not be definitely known.
Deer Park is about thirty miles
south of Grand Marais, on the shore
of Lake Superior. Several bodies
from the wreck have washed ashore,
and two are known to be those of
the first mate and the watchman.
Marine men suggest as possible ex-
plantations of the foundering that the
engines became disabled; that the
plates opened and that the ship
sprang a leak and that the matches
may not have been securely battened,
permitting the steamer to fill with
water from the waves washing over
her decks.

MAN EATERS.
ANIfnl Tales of Cannibalism in
Northeastern Canada.
Editor of Fort Francis Times Brings
Back Terrible Story After Making
Trip of Exploration.

Trip Of Exploration.
a specia. dispatch to The Chicago
Record Herald from Winnipeg, Mani
toba, says:
Tales of cannibalism and famine
among natives of northeastern Can
ada, between the eastern shore of
James Bay and Lamrador, are
brought back by J. A. Osborne, edi-
tor of the Fort Francis Times, who
has just completed trip of eXplora-
ton in that country.
While at Moose factory, the eX-
plorer met young man who fled
thither in terror of his uncle, who he
said had killed and eaten eight hum
an beings. There, too, he saw a
woman who last winter killed and
ate her two children, so great was the
famine. This lack of food primarily
was brough about by the fact that the
woods seemed almost entirely without
the usual number Of deer and rah-
bits, upon which the natives ordinar-
lily subsist.
AS these occurrences did not seem
to cause any stir in that region, Mr..
Oborne come to the conclusion that
cannibalism is practiced openly on
many occasions among the Indians
and half breeds.
One village OH Main river was wip-
ed off the map because Of the great
snow fall last winter. Having no pro-
visions stored up. and with streams
covered solid with ice, the Indians
starved to death with the exception
of party Of young men and women,
who decided to try to make Hudson
bay $50 miles down the stream. At
ter journey marked by great priva-
ticn, they reached the fort more dead
that alive A relief expedition sent
back to the village found nothing
but 13 corpses in the rude huts which
comprised the village.
Osborne says the indians and Es-
kilno population in the region is
diminishing rapidly, due partly to
emigration to the coast of Labrador
and partly to the prevalence of dis
ease and frequent scarcity of food.
He, says many of the natives are fall
ing prey to tuberculosis.
