VESSEL
SANK DURING
STORM
Jersey Captain Commands
S. s. BIuefield Week
Overdue.

PHILADELPHIA, Jan. Silt is
feared hat the steamer Bluetield, of
the Southern Steamship Line. now a
week overdue here, went to the bot
tom during the severe hurricane which
swept the Atlantic coast last Friday
and Saturday.
Captain Higgins, who commands the
vessel, lives at Collingswood, N. j., and
the boat carried a crew of eighteen
men.
The Bluefield sailed from Jackson
vile, Fla, on January q. Unde or
binary circumstances the steamer
should have made tho trip in three
days, but when II failed to put in an
appearance on schedule time the
agents, George r. Dilks Company, of
this city, felt no apprehension until
the Bluefeld was several days out. 1t
is believed that the Bluefield was
caught in the grip of the storm and
disabled or sent to the bottom of the
Atlantic.
The government today sent out the
revenue cutters Onondago and Mo-
hawk with orders to make a search
along the coast for the missing vessel.

Is Too Radical.

WASHINGTON, Jan. s1.-Former Presi-
dent John T.. Hamilton, Of the American
Banking Association, appearing before the
House committee on banking and cur
rency today in the course of a vigorous
statement frequently interrupted by ques-
tons by members of the committee, took
a position squarely behind the Mckinley
financial dill representing the views of the
Chicago Banking Association, and in OPP
position to the bills introduced by Senator
Aldrlch and Representative Fowler.
In the absence OF Chairman Fowler, Of
New Jersey. Representative Prince, OF
Illinois, presided. The Aldrieh bill was de-
noun cod by Mr.. Hamilton as 'imprac-
tieahle. unWise and financially unsound. ="
He asserted it Is "a step backward toward
the condition from which arose the wild
cat currency in use before the Civil War"
He thought that in practical operation lt
would impair the lending power OF tho
banks. The Aldrich bill, he said, is a rem
edy offered after recovery or Of death.
Referring TO the Fowler bill. Mr.. Ham
ilton conceded the inclusion by It OF some
meritorious features, but he condemned
the measure as a whole. Among his rea-
cons was tina Its scope is too broad-thai

through Commissioner Frank J. Book,
president of the Board of Works, that
an understanding will be reached, as

to the burden of the city at the present
time for the furtherance of the dock
project.
Government Engineer Joseph o.

government engineers of his depart
ment, been surveying til meadows with

Zero Filtration.

Much discomfort and suffering was
caused by the cold wave of the past
three days. Last night and early this
morning. in particular. conditions were
extremely severe. The thermometer at
3 o'clock this morning registered but
one degree from the zero mark.
1t took four hours to raise one more
degree of warmth, and at IL o'clock
the mercury only registered 10 degrees
above zero.
Indications. however, point to a ris-

ably fall tonight and tomorrow.

being that the Thermometer stands at

that it registers sixteen degrees below
