COLUMBUS CELEBRATES.

Columbus, o., Feb. l4.-F'lagS were
displayed by many business houses
today as a reminder of the fact that
this was the ninty-fifth birthday of
the City of Columbus. 1t was on Feb.
IA, 1912, that the state legislature
passed an act accepting the PROPOSE
tion of four pioneer settlers to lay
out town on the west bank of the
Scioto river opposite Franklinton, give
to the state two ten-acre tracts, one
for the state officers and the other for
the penitentiary and to erect buildings
for the purpose. The agreement was
carried out and Columbus thus became
the capitol of the state. Plans are now
afoot for a celebration of the city's
centennial five years hence.

New Element Injected Into
Block Island Horror Thro
Captains Confession.
THAT HE LEFT PASSENGERS
10 MEET THEIR FATE
His Boat the First Launched and First
to Leave the Ship Charges Fred
Hurgsell, One of the Survivors,,
Captain McVey Admits Portion Of
the Allegations and Charges Made.

Associated Press to The Evening T1nes.
Providence, R. l., Feb. IA new
element was injected into the horror
attending the loss of the steamer
Larchmont in Block Island Sound
Monday night through collision with
schooner Harry Knowlton, when Capt.
McVey of the steamer, today admitted
that his life boat was one of the first,
II not the first, to leave the sinking
ship. This statement was made In
reply to charges by Fred Hiergsell, an
1S-year-old lad of Brooklyn, one OF
survivors, that the passengers were
left to SHIFT for themselves, that the
ships crew crowded the boats without
attempting to provide for the passen-
gers and that Capt. Mcvey was the
first to desert the ship. The state
ment of young Hiergsell created
sensation, in view of the fact that ten
of the 10 survivors were employees on
the ship, or in other words that while
approximately 20 per cent OF the YES
sells crew was saved, only per cent
of the passengers survived.
Capt. McVey explained that while
his boat may have been the first in the
water, it was because he had a good
crew and that he remained by his ship
until she went down. He said that he
made no move to get into his boat un-
til he had given orders to his men to
lower all boats and clear away the
RATS.
At s o'clock this morning the num-
Der of known lost in the frightful cal
amity stood at 1873. At least 157 per-
sons were known to be on the steamer
and there is every indication that the
number was nearer 200. Seventy-one
bodies had been recovered up to 8
O'Clock and these lie in the morgue
in this city awaiting identification.
The stream of persons that passed
through the morgue looking for miss
ing relatives or friends did not cease
until after midnight and, at that time
thirty-eight of the dead had been
identified. Many persons were on hand
early today and every train brought
more people on their mournful quest.
The survivors at Block Island are
reported, "as we'll as could be ex-
pected." The weather had moderated
and this morning was clear and mild.
