After Long Battle with Sea Seventy

NEW YORK, May S.-Seventy-twc
men, who for more than twenty-foul
hours had been facing death in the
raging sea near Fire island, were res
cued from the crumbling hulk of the
big German ship, Peter Rickmers, early
today.
The rescue was effected after one ol
the most trying sieges the life savers
on the coast have ever been calleC
upon to face.
/ No less than a dozen times hope o.
saving the men on the doomed shiI
was all but abandoned, and it was only
the easing of the gale and terrific sea
that made the rescue possible. For
tunately not man lost his life, and il
is believed no one of them suffered
any permanent harm as a result OF
their long fight against DEATH
The great steel ship, one of the finest
sailing vessels that ever rode the sea
is a total wreck. Her bow and stern
are completely torn off by the waves
her masts were ripped out, her deck
houses and bridges swept away and
she is full of water. She is lying far
back on the bar and it is unlikely
even that any effort will be made to
tow her to deep water again.

At first it was believed she would
be f1oated without difficulty, but as the
wind continued and she drove farther
and farther on the shelving bar her
position became serious.
Even then, when the wind decreased
it was believed she would be foated
without serious damage after a portion

tisoned.
A large force of WreckerS was set at
the task and excellent progress was
being made up to last Tuesday night,
when a great storm broken on the
coast.
The wind increased so rapidly and
the sea assumed such proportions that
the wrecking tugs standing by were
forced to flee for their own safety, leav-
ing behind on the ship thirty-nine
salvagers, who had been working on
the cargo, and thirty-three of the crew
of the Rickmers.
AS the storm increased the waves
drove the big vessel steadily back on
the sand bar. One by one her masts
went by the board and, surging over
the crumbling hulk, threatened to
the sea. Life savers on the beach sent
life lines to the Rickmers, but before
single man could be hauled ashore
the ropes parted.
The storm continued to grow in in
tensity, and the plight of the men of
the wrecked ship became more des-
perate.
Five crews from life saving stations
We're on the beach, but their boats were
useless in the sea, and the one hope
was In the subsistence of the storm or
the shooting of lines over the ship.
Early this morning the storm had
subsidized sufficiently to permit the
wreckers on board the ship to launch
their boats, and they landed unaided.
Then a line was sent to the wrecked
ship and the crew of the vessel was
brought ashore.

BALTIMORE, May S.-Giving ad-
vancing years as his reason. Rev. DR.
]. NJ. Thoburn, missionary bishop OF
Bombay, India, today asked the gen.
eral conference of the Methodist Epis-
copal church to retire him from active
service. His request, which was re-
ferred to the commission on episcopacy
created a deep impression among the
delegates. who testified their regard
for him by rising and applauding him
Bishop GoodseH presided today. A
large number of memorials were hand
ed up from the various conferences.
Mrs. Florence D. Richards of the
Central Ohio conference secured the
unanimous adoption of a resolution
appealing to congress to submit to the
states an amendment to the constitu-
tion prohibiting polygamy.
The resolution points out that two
such propositions are before the
United States senate.
Bishop William F. Oldham of Singa-
pore read the report Of the missionary
bishops of southern Asia.
The effect of the victory of Japan
over Russia in their war, the report
said, is registered in the thinking of
every Asiatic. National and racial self
consciousness everywhere has been
quickened.
In the Malay archipelago, the report
continued, the increased power of ia
pan is dimly felt to be a threat rather
than an incitement, and reported ex-
periences of Formosa and Korea lend
stability to European rule.
In the Philippines at first the Japan
ese success produced some wild talk,
but the American concession of a

mated people in the history of nations.

may fare at the hands of other Asiatics
has made for a degree of contentment
with the American program that could
scarcely have been looked for at the
beginning of the quadrennial. There
was a larger stride toward democracy
in the far east during the quadrennium
than any half century possible in any
century in the past.
Something of a sensation and not a
little amusement was created when
Delegate B. Lee Pagett of Portland,
Ore, arose and denounced as "obscene
and obnoxious some literature that
has been distributed among the dele
gates.
The offending matter proved to be
of certain whiskies
contained in a pamphlet issued as a
souvenir Of the jamestown exposition
and setting forth the resources of
Maryland and industries of Baltimore.
The books were stamped with the
compliments of a leading business man
of this city who was formerly a Metho-
dist minister. Bishop Goodsell, in the
chair, cut off discussion by saying that
the hour of adjournment had arrived.

Technically MAY FREE
THAW FROM ASYLUM
Counsel for Young Millionaire Asserts
That Order of Commitment
to Institution Was
Illegal
Nv Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
POUGHKEEPSIE n. Y, May s.
Counsel for Harry K. Thaw today filed
a traverse to the return on Thaw's writ
OF habeas corpus.
The chief question raised by the
traverse is the eonstitutionality OF
Thaws commitment to the Matteawan
state hospital. 1t is alleged that the re-
turn made by DR.. Amos T. Baker is
invalid. null and void. 1t is claimed the
commitment is insufficient for Thaws
further detention because 1t does not
show that Thaw was ever arrafgned
before Justice Dowling. who made the
commitment or that any witnesses
were produced or examined in his
presence; or that Thaw had any oppor-
tunity to deny the charge of insanity;
or that his going at large would be
dangerous to public safety.
Should Justice Morsehauser decide
Thaw was not constitutionally COM
mitted to Matteawan he probably would
order Thaw discharged without any in
quiry as to his sanity.
