NEARLY zoo ARE LOST
WHEN STEAMER BURNS
Ocean Liner Going TO Egypt De-
stroyed and Passengers Die in
Mad Panic Aboard.
SCORES JUMP TO DEATH IN SEA.
Tugs Hasten to Rescue, but Fail to
Lend Aid Because of Furious
Gale Raging.

Nearly 200 persons, passengers and
crew of the Ellerman line steamer Sar-
DINA. are reported to have perished
when the steamer was destroyed by fire
Just after she had sailed for Alexan-
dria. Egypt, from Valetta, Island of
Malta. The Sardinia was scarcely a
mile off Grand harbor when the first
sign of fire appeared, but with a strong
wind TO fan the flames the whole ship
was soon ablaze and the passengers
and crew had scarcely a chance for
their lives.
There was wild scene of panic on
board as the rapidly spreading flames
drove the passengers to the rails and
many of the excited ones, not even
waiting for the boats to be lowered.
plunged into the sea Scores are be-
lieved to have been drowned Others,
trapped by the fire, were literally roast
ed to death or smothered without a
chance for life
There were many craft In the harbor
at the time of the disaster and several
tugs and other swift small vessels rush
ed to the assistance OF the imperiled
liner. The high sea and strong gale
which prevailed at the time, however,
made it impossible for them even to
approach the Sardinia. and they could
do little in the way of aid.
The Sardinia left Liverpool Nov Il
with cargo of general merchandise
for Mediterranean ports. Her crew
numbered forty-four, and about twenty
first-class and six second-class passen-
gers embarked at Liverpool. Most of
her other passengers undoubtedly were
Levantines, Maltese and Egyptians.
Many of these people cross on the
steamers of this line from Malta to
Alexandria. 1t is their custom to pitch
their tents on decks for shelter during
the four days trip. The decks are clut-
tered and this condition undoubtedly
made the orderly clearing of the ship
difficult

LAMPHERE GUILTY OF ARSON.
Jury Ignores Murder Charge-Sen-
tence from 2 to 81 Years.

Ray Lamphere was found guilty Of
arson after the jury had been out twen-
ty-six hours in Laporte. Ind. Judge
John G. Richter Immediately sentenced
him to the penitentiary for an indeter-
inmate term Of from two to twenty
one years and assessed fine of $1,000.
The verdict was in the nature of a
compromise, ten of the jurors having
held out from the first for verdict
of murder in the second degree, with a
penalty of life Imprisonment. Two
stubborn members all day contended
for verdict of arson and not guilty,
respectively.
Following the sentencing of Lam
phere all the jurors signed a statement
that they were convinced by the evil
dence at the trial that the adult body
found in the ruins with the bodies of
the three children was that of Mrs.
Guinness.
Lamphere expressed a similar belief
in the first extended statement he has
made to other than his attorneys since

pressed such intention, but in view of

another jury might bring in were the
