LINER IS DISABLED AT SEA
PASSENGERS ON MAURITANIA
HAVE EXCITING TIME.
Panic Follows an Accident and Lightly
Clad Women Flee Their State
rooms.

New York, Sept. 21.-Passengers on
the liner Mauretania, the largest ship
afioat, had a terrifying experience in
m1d-ocean last Thursday, When,
through an accident to one of the pro-
peller shafts and propellers, the vessel
bobbed up and down for nearly five
minutes like a springless wagon on a
corduroy road.
The masts of the ship quivered, as
one of the mates expressed it, like
bamboo fishing poles" Passengers in
the second cabin were lifted out of
their chairs and thrown to the floor
and first cabin passengers in their
berths were bounced up in the air
foot or more and then dropped back,
only to bounce again.
The corridors and gangways were
filled with terrified women, many Of
them in scanty attire. One woman ran
through the main salon attired only in
a chemise and feather boa.
Fourteen firemen, at work in the
coal bunkers, were buried under piles
Of coal, precipitated upon them by the

them sustained broken arm, anoth-
er a broken leg, and the scalp of still
another was so lacerated as to require
% stitches.
There was a terrific gale blowing at
the time of the accident-the same
hurricane all the ships crossing the At
lantic last week encountered. The
storm had been raging for nearly SO
hours and this added to the fear of
the passengers. AS soon as possible
after the vertical Earring of the ship
began the engines were stopped. The
big vessel slashed around on the
waves for half an hour, and when the
engines started again the nerve rack
ing Earring started also.
From the best examination that
could be made Capt. Pritchard decided
one of the blades of the low pressure
starboard propeller had become bent
in such way as to interfere with the
turning of the shaft.
1t is certain that pumps were set
to work in clearing some of the lower
compartments of water Immediately
after the accident, and they were
still at work when the ship reached
it's pier.

YANKEE FLEET PASSES PERTH.
Great Crowds of Australians Bid the
BattIeships Good-By.

Perth Western Austria, Sept. I'll!
The American fleet of battleships
passed this coast Sunday morning on
the long run to Manila The fleet was
proceeding in two columns, the Con-
necticut and Louisiana leading. The
warships turned to the west about one
o'clock and a large number of pleas
ure craft crowded with sightseers fol-
lowed them for some 20 miles to sea.
The trains reaching this city brought
vast numbers of Australians, all bent
on catching a last glimpse of the
American fleet. Many of them trav-
eled hundreds of miles, and the rail-
road stations were thronged with peo-
pie on their way to Fremantle, which
is the chief port of Western Austria
liza, at the mouth of the Swan river,
IL miles south of Perth. From Ere
mantle a score of pleasure boats with
crowds of enthusiasts aboard steamed
out to Rottnest island, which lies sew
eral miles off the coast.
The white ships of the United
States came up slowly about six miles
off the island and were greeted with
a noisy demonstration by the small
steamers and those on board. The
Australian steamship Kanowna sig
nailed to the fleet the particulars of
the wreck of the steamship Aeon,
whose passengers are now on Christ
mas island Rear Admiral Sperry sig
nailed his thanks for the news and
added: Cannot stop; good-by."
The warships were hull down at
three o'clock.
Rome, Sept 21.-The pope Sunday
received in audience 70 sailors from
the American battleships Maine and
Alabama, which are at Naples. The
pontiff, who is always interested in
seagoing men, expressed pleasure at
their smart appearance. Each of the
men kissed the pope's ring and re-
ceived from him medal. The pope,
standing among them, made a most
kindly speech, in which he thanked
them for the visit.

TIE
General Demand

Of the Well Informed of the World has
always been for simple, pleasant and
efficient liquid laxative remedy of known
value; laxative which physicians could
sanction for family use because its COM
ponent parts are known to them TO be
wholesome and truly beneficial in effect,
acceptable to the system and gentle, yet
prompt, in action.
In supplying that demand with its ex-
cellent combination of Syrup of Figs and
Elixir of SIENNA, the California Fig Syrup
Co. proceeds along ethical lines and relies
on the merits Of the laxative for its remark
able success.
That is one of many reasons why
Syrup of Figs and Elixir of SIENNA is given
the preference by the Well-Informed.

a Doctors Disadvantage.

"In one way" said a collector, 1T
is easier to get money from a doctor
than anybody else who is slow pay.
1t is more difficult for him to swear
that he hasn't been able % make any
collections himself since the first OF
the year. A doctors reception room is
open to all possible patients. A col
lector with a grain of ingenuity can
find a way to worm out of the men on
the waiting list information as to the
terms of payment. After an inter
view with three or four persons who
have paid spot cash for treatment and
who have told the collector they paid,
it takes a mighty nerve on the part OF
the doctor to insist that he hasn't
dollar to his name"

JAIL DELIVERY FolLED.
Racine Turkeys Keen Eye Detects
Clever Ruse and Prisoners Fail.

Racine.-Shrewdnes of Turnkey
Patrick of the Racine county Jail pre-
vented what might have been whole
sale Jail delivery. He was aroused by
cries of prisoners who informed him
that Adam Vournice, held on a charge
of assault and intent to kill, was badly
hurt. He was about to open the inner
cell door when he noticed that the
supposed blood stains on the shirt of
the prisoner were made by some chem
ical. After an investigation it was as
certained that Frank. Burket, held on
a charge of highway robbery, had
planned the delivery and that Will
liam Wheeler, negro burglar, had
stained the shirt of Vournice. 1t was
intended, it is believed, to slug and
kill Patrick, the turnkey, when he
came into the Jail and the entire
lot of nine prisoners then to make

CLOSES WINNEcoNNE BANK.
State Commissioner Bergh Takes
Charge of Institution.

Madison.-State Banking Commits
sioner M. G.. Bergh closed the Union
bank of Winneconne, state bank,
and placed Examiners Milo G. Hagen
and Thomas Herried in charge of it.
1t is not believed that the depositors
will lose any of their money, but the
stockholders may be called on to make
good some shortage in excess of the
capital of $4,000 which they have.
Commissioner Bergh said that he was
unable to state the exact condition of
the closed bank owing to the fact that
the examiners had not finished their
investigation of the books of the in
stitution. The trouble was caused by
excessive loans on bad commercial
paper. 1t is said that President w. K.
Rideout, who until recently was also
president of the National Union bank
of Oshkosh, caused the closed bank
to acquire large quantity of CONNER
cial paper which has turned out bad.
