BATTLE FOR LIVES
ON FROZEN DECKS
FOR SEVEN DAYS
Seamen Rescued After
Valiant Struggle in
Wintry Seas.

BOSTON, Jan. 25-One OF the most
narrowing tales Of shipwreck and suf-
fering ever heard at this port was told
by the crew of the barkentine sun
beam, who we're rescued from death
at sea ann brought here tonight by the
Leyland liner Canadian.
Beside Captain Newhook, the rescued
men, all haiIing from Newfoundland.
are James james, mate; Patrick Muir
ply, second mate; John Reardon. stew
ard; James Manning. Bonnie Mario,
Patrick Carey. and Maurice Hansen,
seamen.
For seven days and nights these men
battled for life and just as they were
about ready to give up their valiant
struggle they were sighted and rescued.
Lashed TO the ice-covered decks. while
mountainous waves swept their dis
mantled vessel from bow to stern, the
seamen worked necessarily at the
pumps to keep their waterlogged vessel
afioat until the sand ballast clogged the
pumps.
With buckets they sought TO do the
work OF the useless pumps and it re-
quired the best efforts of every man, in
Guiding Captain Newhook, TO prevent
their leaking vessel from going to the
bottom.
Only once while they were about
forty miles off the Cape Race Light,
did they believe that they would ever
reach land again. The thought OF be-
ing so near their home port gave them
renewed courage. Then a northerly
sale, which soon became a hurricane in
proportions, stripped them of the few
sails they had left and blew them
eighty miles TO the south.

disheartened. hungry, thirsty, and ex-
hausted, was ready TO lay down his
life, believing that further effort was

difficulty rescued them from sinking

The lOng-eXpected announcement
By the Department of Justice of its
plans for the prosecution of the
Hartman combination Of railroads
was issued last night.
The statement was prepared by
Assistant Attorney General Purdv
and c. A. Severance, special counsel
for the Government in this case. Il
sets forth the grounds on which
prosecution will be based.
Besides the Union Pacific and its
subsidiary corporations, the San
Pedro or Clark road, the Southern
Pacific, the Santa Fe. and the Hill
lines are involved. It Is proposed
in the equity suit, which will forth
with be filed, TO attack the combina-
ton of these interests.
Not only are a long list Of cor
porations involved, but the follow
ing individual defendants are
brought into the case by reason of
their alleged completely in a con-
spiraey for control of the San Pedro
road by E. H Hartman and Senator
Clark: E. H. Hartman, Jacob H,
Schiff, Otto H. Kahn, Henry H.
Rogers. James SdIlman, Henry c,
Frick, and William A. Clark.
Governments Statement.
The Governments statement of its
case bears out the announcement,
heretofore made first by The Times,
that the contract for control of the
San Pedro road by the Hartman
and Clark interests, acting in con-
junction, will be the chief reliance
Of the Government in its effort to
secure convictions. The statement
opens as follows:
The Attorney General has directed
that bill in equity be fled 70 set
aside the control by the Union Pacific
Railroad Company and its subsidiary
corporations OF the Southern Pacific and
the San Pedro, Los Angeles and Salt
Lake road; also &c have declared Illegal
tie ownership by the Union Pacific or
the Oregon Short Line Of stock in the
Santa Fe, the Great Northern. and
Northern Pacific, all of said lines being
OF the Union Pacific
The department has arrived at the
conclusion that the stock holdings OF
the Union Pacific and its subsidiary
company in the other corporations men
toned above is in direct violation Of the
Sherman act.
1t appears that a combination was
formed in 1901 by p. IT. Hartman and
certain Of his associates. for the pur-
pose Of obtaining monopoly Of all
,ranscontinentaI transportation busI-
ness"

ROME. Jan. 25-AIiss Louisa de la
Rance, "Oulda," famous novelist. died
last night in the home of her faithful
maid, IsOlina CerveIu near Florence.
Italy. after a brief illness.
Her death was due mainly to old age,
although it was FASTENED by the pri-
vations which she had been compelled
20 undergo in recent years and which
had brought on heart disease Until
the very end she shared her food with
her faithful dogs, and refused to ac-
cept any financial assistance from the
many friends who desired To aid her
when they learned of her distress.
She is reported that in the delirium
preceding her demise. the aged writer
repeated again and again, the second
last chapter Of her masterpiece, Under
Two Flags"
Dreams of Realization.
"Ouidat' who took the celg1rated
nom de plume from her own babyhood

have lived the whole of her later life
in dreams Of personal realization of
the events she transcribed from her
own early days TO incorporate in I'm
der Two Flags"
Her early life is enveIoped I'm much
mystery. 1t is known. however. that
she was born in England in the early
forties, the daughter OF a wandering
Clergy man, who took her with him upon
all his journeys into strange countries,
particularly Northern Africa.
There, it is said, she met the MARQUIS
of Tuscany, who fell IN love with her
under circumstances which she coIo~ed
into the wooing of the outcast English
lord, BERTHE Cecil" and the English
woman in Africa

sorry termination. She fled from the
marquis, went 10 England, and begai.

Her first book. Held in Bondage"
created a stir in England, but when

brought it to America II fell fiat. be-
cause its title and theme came upon a

shed and carnage of the civil war.
Later, its name changed TO Gran

for years as best seller on American
stands. In quick succession following
came "Chandos," "Strathmore." Under

In the prime Of life Ouida thus found
herself with an income Of several hun

spent IL riotously. framing for herself
in Venice and Florence the scenario Of
her mOst voluptuous iictions
In her declining years, however she
spent SO much upon the poor and her
mum srOus horses and thirty blooded
dogs that all her funds became ex-
hausted. For the past five years she
lived in poverty. For more than two
years Her only subsistence, in a poor
villa near Rome came from an an
nuity of $3.50 donated 10 her support by
the British government.
