Steamer Berlin, From Harwich, Eng,
to Rotterdam, Goes Ashore Off the
S Hook Of Holland and Immediately
Breaks in Two-Eighty-four Passen-
gers and Forty-five of the Crew Lose
Their Lives in Disaster.
Rotterdam, Holland, Feb. PA dis
astrous steamship wreck, attended
with great loss of life, occurred during
the day off the Hook of Holland when
the Great Eastern Railway company's
steamer Berlin; bound from Harwich,
Eng, to the Hook of Holland, was lost.
With the exceptions of twelve per-
sons all on board, 141 persons In all,
of whom ninety-one were passengers,
were drowned. The wreck occurred
off the North pier of the Hook of Hol-
land at 5 o'clock a. m. during ter
rifle southwesterly gale. The steamer
struck the north jetty while trying to
enter the new waterway at the Hook
of Holland She broke in two, the
forward part Immediately sinking,
while the passengers and crew gath
cred on the stern, where they vainly
attempted to use the lifeboats.
Of the twelve persons who sue
ceeded in reaching shore eleven were
rescued after thirty hours continuous
work on the part Of the Dutch lifeboat
men. ,-- !.
Victims Mostly Business Men.
With the exception of the members
of the German opera company there
were only four women and two chill
dren among the passengers, the other
travellers being chiefly business men,
many of them natives of Holland re-
turning home after visiting England.
Among the latter were several dia-
poond merchants who doubtless car
ried valuable parcels Of diamonds.
Among the members of the German
opera company known to have been
drowned is Mrs. Bertram, wife of the
we'll known baritone, Theodore Ber-
tram, who sailed for Rotterdam day
previous to the departure of his wife.
The latter was delayed in England on
account of indisposition.
Arthur Herbert, the kings foreign
service messenger, who was drowned,
was a grandson of the third Earl of
Powls and was on mission to the
courts of Copenhagen, st. Petersburg,
Berlin and Teheran, bearing important
dispatches tosthe heads Of the foreign
offices at the capitals. ' e = 5>>gz

DISCUSS MEASURES
LEGISLATIVE COMMITTEE OF
 BANKERS HOLDS MEETING.
Believe Their Bills WilI Be Passed Without Serious Trouble If The Legislature Can Get 10
 Them.

The Legislative Committee of the Alabama Bankers Association met last night at the Exchange National Bank and discussed the many bills before the Legislature affecting the interest of the bankers of the State.
 The committee Is composed of Mi- chaeI Cody of Montgomery Shappell open Cory of Birmingham, and A. E. A .no strone of Marion. All members or tLe committee were present with the eA- ception of MT. Armstrong, wno was detained at home by illness In ms ldii h,lis fly. There are quite number or pitls ,n vending before the Legislature, Tn which the banking interests ok hne state are vftaily interested. It IS Quite improbable that all these pllls can pe nassed in a session of thirteen oayS and the committee last night devoted its attention to the more important 9L these bills which 1t might De feaslple to have passed.

DISCUSS SALOON QUESTION.
Council Committee on Finance to Hold
 Public Meeting.


 The Finance Committee of the City Council will meet Saturday night at o'clock in the Council Chamber at the City Hall in public session, the chief purpose of the meeting being to consider the advisabilitysof increasing the saloon licenses of the city as re- commended by Mayor Teague some time ago. All Montgomertans interested ln the measure are cordially invited 10 attend the committees session and to make whatever suggestion they find proper.
 of the Council, as a majority, are In favor with the Mayors communication. and that they are willing to raise the licenses to $1,000 at the least The communication of the Mayor suggested that the minimum license be $1,6OO, but the prevalent opinion seems to be that the city fathers look upon the smaller sum as the most feasible one at the s What action the Finance Commit tee. will take at its session Saturday committeeman will afterwards make to the city fathers at the regular session on Monday night, are matters for spec ulation. It is currently believed, how ever, that the report will advise a higher rate and that Sl,0OO VIII De the sum required.
 A question that the committee will also work out preparatory to making a report concerns the matter Of wheth- CT or not the same license should be charged to saloon keepers outside of the fire limits as those within these lines The Mayors communication re- commended that the same price be charged all bar proprietors without re- gards to residence, a feature which Is looked upon as one likely to get rid of the suburban dives.
 The ordinance of Alderman HoIIo. way. providing that all saloons should be forced within the fire limits of the city, has not yet been acted upon :. Probably a report will be made on this Monday night and discussion or it might be entered into Saturday night hv tha Finance Committee.

Literary Estate Of Or.
 Meek Willed to tue State

Dr. B. F. Meek was not only one of the leading teachers of the south' but he was writer of note as well. The older students of. the University of Alabama recall with peculiar affection the sympathy and instruction they re- ceived from Dr. Meek. He had when he died a number of manuscript works, some of which had been published. These were left with his wife and on her death she willed them to the State Department of History. They have been turned over to Director owen by her executor, Robert Henphlll. Along with the literary valuables. Mrs. Meek willed to the Department a gold head ed walking cane which was carried by Dr. Meek in his life time.
 Judge s. M. Meek, one of the lead ing lawyers of..Misslssippi In his life time was a brother of A. B. and B, F. Meek. The three brothers had re- markable lives. All were among the early students of the University and all graduated from the institution.

DeE7oU ArriUes With
 Germans For ALabama.

ficials. They were confident notwith- standing his failure to communicate with them that they would hear in due time of him and his work. When they were beginning to get bit restless: the news came that MT. De Holl and his Germans were at Ellis Island.
 The name is absolutely new in the public life of Alabama. When Cover nor Conner announced that he had ap- pointed Mir. De Holl Immigration Agent, under the new immigration law, people asked:
 Who is De Holl? What Is De Holl?"
 It was learned that Mir. De Holl had been previously employed by rhe Ten nesseee Coal and Iron Company as a chemist and it was further learned that he was a native of Holland, although he had lived in this country for a number of years He is a gentleman of wide education and is said to speak several European languages. He is not known at the Capitol, however.
 The preliminary reports indicate that Mir. De Holl has corralled choice lot of Germans for future citi- Zens of Alabama.
The Montgomery advertiser., 1907-06-28

Word has reached Montgomery that Commissioner of Immigration De Holl has reached New York with a choice and assorted lot of German immigrants, 100 In number. Mir. De Holl has been touring Europe looking out for imni- grants for Alabama, and most of the time he has been out of communica- tion with the State officials.
 The pleasing news came yesterday that not only had the Immigration Commissioner not been lost but he had turned up in New Y ork with n nice lot of immigrants. The State officials for some time felt some concern about the Immigration Commissioner. He could not have been any more incommunicado if he. had been exploring Dark est Africa, instead of travelling through Europe.
 He left for Europe directly after his appointment by Governor Conner. He announced that he was going to Alsace- Lorraine on the search for Immigrants to Alabama. Presumably that's where he went. At any rate he dropped out of communication with the State of
