Rotterdam, Feb. 21-A disastrous
wreck. attended with great loss of
life occurred this morning, during a
terrific southwesterly gale of the

Northern Railway Company's steam
ship Berlin. bound from Harwich to
the Hook of Holland, was lost. All

81 were passengers, were drowned.
except one Eaglshman. The wreck
occurred of the north pier of the
Hook The steamer struck the north
jetty while trying to enter the water
way. She broke DIN two, the forward
part sinking Immediately, while the
passengers and crew gathered on the
stern where they vadnly attempted
to launch life boats.
Bodies to the number of 25 have
already washed ashore. The one man
saved was unconscious when drawn
from the water, and had not regain
ed consciousness when carried to
hotel in the neighborhood
luSS ana ME DOtlLS, WHEN C1S
alarm sounded, promptly went to the
assistance of the Berlin, but the vio-
lence of the gale and heavy seas
made 1t impossible to approach the
wreck, and the would-be life savers
saw the steamer break up and the
crew and passengers washed away,
without being able to render the
slightest assistance.
Later. the agents of the wrecked
they were not positive regarding the
numbers, they believe the vessel car
ried 120 passengers and a crew of
sixty officers and men
(12:30 p. m.) The after part of the
wrecked steamer Berlin did not slip
into deep water as first reported, but
seems nearly all bedded in a sand

WILL BUILD
THE CARLSBAD SHORT LINE

That Carlsbad short line railroad will
surely be built. by somebody. within
a few years. 1t is absolutely neces-
sary. No other road is ia a position
to handle the traffic of the section
to be served by the proposed road.
To Ell Paso, the new road would
mean that the rich, progressive, and
within about 155 miles of this CITY,,
which, as distances go in this region
is right in the next block. We should
be able to buy the products of the val
ley at much advantage to ourselves
we should be the central market for
Pecos Valley products offered for
sale to California. Arizona and Mexi-
co, and on the other hand Ell Paso
would be the natural wholesale center
for the Pecos Valley merchants; no
cessible at anything like the favorable
terms that would be had here.
The Kansas City, Lawton & Pacific
road, which last year sold $7,50O,000
worth of bonds for construction pur-
poses and has been working on the
eastern end of the projected through
line, is very much interested in the
activity of the Carlsbad and Ell Paso
people, and has started surveying par
ties over the line. The reports of the
recent reconnaissance were called fo-
by the promoters of the Lawton road,
and it is probable that a few months
will reveal the presence of strong
interests IN the field.
The new road will offer opportuni-
ties for very profitable land specula-
tion throughout the territory drawers
ed, and the construction company
ought to make lot of money while
at the same time contributing meas
ureless wealth to the country chosen
for the location of the road.-El Pa

In conversation with George NJ.
Slaughter, chairman OF the executive

April. he reports that elaborate ar
rangements are being made for the
pulling on of this occasion in a man

A FEW EXTRACTS FROM
.THAW TESTIMONY,


New York, Feb. 21.-A lew
ents after Justice Fitzgerald had Ia
ken his place on the bench Ia the
Thaw trial this morning 1t was an
nounced that there would be no ses-
sion OF the case tomorrow, Washing
toms birthday. Thaw entered the,
court room Immediately after the ju-
ry without waiting to be formally
called to the bar. His hair was muss-
ed and manner eager and nervous
When Mrs. Thaw was called to the
stand she glanced at her husband
and smiled. She then turned to JUS
tice Fitzgerald and made a little how
to him, but he did not notice her.
Jerome continued continued exam
lining the witness in regard to her
knowledge of right and wrong In the
relations between men and women.
She did no tconsider 1t particularly
wrong to be unchaste until Thaw told
ner. She testified that she wrote to
White after Thaw had proposed to
her, but said she did so because sae
was eoerced into writing to him by
her mother, who said she Tas un-
grateful to White, Tears came TO her
eyes as Jerome continued to question
her about her relations with White.
One newspaper woman left the room
during the examination. Tslaw had
his face in his hands as Jerome at
tackled his wife. Once Jerome offered
to l-S6 IA 4~.a L..
time, but Delmas would not consent.
A genuine sensation was sprung
when Attorney Hartridge, represent
ing Thaw, was called to the stand
by jerome to learn why certain let
ters written by White to Evelyn were
not produced. Hartridge decli7ed to
answer. Jerome argued that Hart
rioge was not counsel Of Mrs. Thaw
and had no right to witahold the in
formation. Delmas said that Mrs.
Thaw had retained him because of
threats against her. He had heard the
district attorney propose to have her
indicted Jerome said no such state
ment had been made. He did not de-
ny the intent. Jerome wanted the tos
tfmony of DIR. Deemar and DR. Bing-
aman taken today. instead OF wait
ing until later. He said they were
about to leave the state. He said that
Mrs. Thaw's cross examination could
not be finished in less than a day
and half. The matter was finally
settled by Justice Fitzgerald aa7ounc
ing that court woud sit tomorrow

Sullivan-Lewis Battle.

| Denver, Col, Feb. 21.-WHat prom
ises to be the classiest bout pulled on
in Denver for many days will take
place at the Coliseum Athletic club
when Mike Twin Sullivan of Cam
bridge faces Harry Lewis of Philadel
phia With the battle now a matter
| of hours the betting is slightly in ia
yor of the ,bald-pated scrapper from
| Cambridge, but it is generally admit
ted by Sullivan's most enthusiastic
| admirers that he will have to put the
fight of his life to win a victory over
the shifty, nifty lad from Quakertown.
Sullivan will weigh in at 142 pounds
vantage in weight, as well as in height
reach and cleverness. Lewis is light
weight and is not so clever as the Sui
livan twin, but he has a wallop that
once landed. makes his opponent see
the milky way.
So far as the records of the two men
are concerned, there is little to choose
between them. Sullivan has defeated
Jimmy Gardner in a lengthy bout, in
which he clearly demonstrated his
superiority. Lewis turned the same
trick in six round bout. Both men
have met Rube Smith, the Colorado
fighter, and by comparison in these
mills Lewis has decidedly the better
of 1T. The Philadelphia boy won
easily from the Rube, while Sullivan
T.
held to a draw. but scored a knockout
in the third. Sullivan's most credita-
BILE performance was his victory over
Jimmy Gardner, while the best record
of Lewis were made in his knockout
of Willie Fitzgerald in less than two
rounds, his knockout of Mike Ward in
nine rounds. his outpointing of Cham
pion Cans in a six round bout and
draw with Joe Thomas when outweigh
ed twenty pounds.
There is every indication that the
betting on the contest will be by far
the heaviest and that more money
will change hands on the result than
on any previous encounter ever held
in this city. Many big wasers have
been made No betting will
be allowed at the rf1gside. according
to an edict issued by Manager Patrick
Gallagher of the Coliseum Athletic
club.
Lewis is being backed by Henry Mel
enbacker, a wealthy Grand Rapida
hotel owner. who has been here for
some time to witness the preparations
for the battle. The monied boniface
first met Lewis when the little fighter
was in trouble over the death of Mike
Ward in a bout at Grand Rapids. The
young Hebrew was unable to raise the
$40, 900 bond for his release until Mel
enbecker came to the rescue with the
cash demanded A fast friendship Inn
mediately sprung up between the two
and Melenbacker declares he will not
return to Grand Rapids until he has
seen the you1gster either win the
light weight championship or is de-
feated I'm trying for it,
There is a general impression among
Denver sports that il Lewis is the win
ner in his bout with the Twin he will
be substituted for Britt in a battle
with Joe Cans at Tonopath next
month. Local sports believe that Lew
is is the logical lightweight candidate
but that a bad match has been made
for him IN meeting Sullivan at the
welter limit.
