BURNED IN M|D[AKE'
Steamer Naomi Destroyed by Fire
Off Grand Rapids, Mich.
BARE HULK ALONE SAVED

'.a.L ~ 2aEsH-EH
Four Of the Crew and One Passenger
Perish In Flames, the Others on
Board the III Fated Vessel Mirac-
uIousIy Escaping a Terrible Death.
Grand Rapids, Mich, May 22.-Four
soal passers were burned to death
and one passenger, J.. M. Rhoades OF
Detroit, was fatally burned when the
Crosby line steamer Naomi, formerly
the Wisconsin, was burned to the wa
ter's edge early in the day in the
middle of Lake Michigan. Fifty pas
sengers and all of the except the
iour coal passers were taken off in
small boats by the steamer Kerr
and the Naomi's sister ship, the Kan
sas, which was en- route from Mtlwau-
kee to Grand Haven. The loss on the
Naomi is estimated at $225,000. After
the passengers and crew were rescued
q barge which had been attracted to
the scene by the fire put a line on
the burning hulk and is now towing
her into port.
The fire started in the vicinity of
the kitchen, between decks, and
spread so rapidly that the whole ship
was a seething furnace before the
crew could get the fire apparatus
working.
Escape Of Passengers Miraculous.
The flames swept the whole
length of the ship and the upper works
burned like finder. 1t is considered
miraculous that the passengers all
escaped. Many of them were taken
off in their night clothes, while scarce
ly any one was more than partially
clad.
The fire was not discovered by any
of the Naomi's crew, but was first
seer by the lookout on the steamer
Kansas, which was proceeding In the
opposite direction from Milwaukee to
Grand Haven. The Kansas made d.
rectly for the Naomi and in the mean
time the passengers Of the Ill fated
boat were being awakened.
Captain Thomas Trail was the last
man to leave the steamer alive and
his clothing was almost burned off
from his body.
The four coal passers who persisted
were below in their hunks and are
believed to have been penned down
there by the flames. They are be-
lieved to have shipped from Milwau-
kee. It is said by the passengers that
the screams of the dying men in the
hold were heard, but that 1t was i'm
possible to reach them.

by UNANIMOUS VOTE
Irish Nationalist Convention Re-
iects Government Bill.
Meeting LARGELY ATTENDED
Resolution Adopted Declaring That
the Proposed Measure els Utterly
Inadequate in It's Scope and Unsat-
isfactory in Its Details"
Dublin, May 22.-The Nationalist
convention called to decide whether
the Irish bill introduced in the house
Of commons May z by the chief secre-
tary for Ireland, Mr.. Birrell, was ac-
ceptable to the people of Ireland unan-
lmously adopted John Redmond's res
olution rejecting the measure. The
resolution declares that the. bill lis
utterly inadequate in It's scope and
unsatisfactory in its details and should
be rejected by the Irish nation; and
we regard the introduction of such a
measure by & British government
pledged to home rule as confirmation
of the position we have always taken
that any attempt to settle the Irish
problem by half measures would be
entirely unsuccessful and wei call upon
the Irish party to oppose the bill in
the house of commons and press upon
the government with all their strength
and power to Introduce q measure for
the establishment of a native parlta-
ment with a responsible executive
power over all purely Irish affairs
and at this crisis in the fortunes of
Ireland we invite all the Nationalist
forces Of the country to unite In sup
port of our representatives In par
lament and enable them to effectively
press for the speedy and genuine set
Element of the Irish question"
The convention was held in the
roundroom of the historic Mansion
House and the floor of the -rotunda
was packed with delegates from many
societies and constituencies represent
ing every part Of Ireland. The Irish
members Of parliament were present
in full force and many of the Catholic
clergy were conspicuous on the plat
form.
Redmond Condemns Measure.
In his speech advocating the rejec.
ton OF. the Birrell bill MI. Redmond
first denied the claim that he and his
colleagues were committed to the bill.
On the contrary, he declared, the
trainers Of the measure had refused
his advice as to the only safe basis
on which the proposed council could
be founded. The Irish members OF
parliament were not committed to any
part Of the bill or to the government.
They had voted for it's introduction
in order to fulfill their promises and
SO that the governments proposals
might be submitted to q convention.
Summarizing his views MI. Red
mond asserted that the Birrell bill
was not workable and therefore would.
end in disgrace and disaster; It's fail
ure would be used as an argument
against Ireland's capacity for self
government and It's operation would
result In the Generalization Of the
Nationalist party and the existing
unity, which was Ireland's strongest
weapon.
Mr.. Redmond criticised the details.
Of the financial and other features Of
the bill as being Inadequate when.
compared with the great powers given
to the lord lieutenant. Government
