BOAT Sinks;
TWENTY LOST
ovERcRowED GASOLINE LAUNCH
SINKS IN OHIO RIVER.
Men Were Crossing the River On
Their Way Home From Work.
Were In a Hurry.

PITTSBURG, May 12.-Twenty per-
sons are missing, and all OF them are
believed to have been drowned, when
a gasoline launch sank in the middle
of the Ohio river near Schoenville,
four miles below Pittsburg last night.
OF the thirty occupants of the boat,
only ten are known to have escaped.
All of the men were employees of the
Pressed Steel Car Company at the Nc
Keesrock plant. The men had been
working overtime at o'clock. and left
the works to cross the river in the
aunch abotu fifteen minutes later. The
boat is said to have been intended for
not over 20 passengers, and it is said
it was dangerous to attempt to carry
as many as %. But all the men
wanted to get across the river on the
first trip of the boat, and 80 of them
crowded in.
When the boat reached the middle
of the stream, where the water is 20
feet deep, it suddenly sank.
There was no explosion, no leak was
sprung, but the boat simply sank be-
meath the weight it had been bearing,
and went to the bottom. AS it sank it
caused a suction which took many of
the men down with it. Others attemp-
ed to swim ashore, but were chilled
by the cold water and became exhaust
ed before reaching the shore.
The river banks are sparsely settled
in the vicinity where the accident oc-
Cured, and it was sometime before the
news had spread. One of the men who
succeeded in swimming ashore ran to
a telephone and gave the alarm. Boats
were at once put out in the hope of
rescuing some of the struggling swim
mers, but the task seemed hopeless,
as so much time had elapsed before
help was secured. Two of the men
were brothers of Henry Vogelie, who
was drowned.
By midnight it was certain that all
| the missing men were drowned, and
1t is believed the.list will reach 81, in
stead of 20.
John Deere who lived on the river
bank and heard cries for help went out
in skiff and saved eight lives. Some
OF the men he got into his boat and
others held to it and were rowed
ashore. One man swan to the bank
1t is believed that not another of the
thirty reached shore.

A VERY GRAVE

Government Will Not concede Right

ernnnent.

PARIS, May 12.-The chamber Of
deputies after a stormy session of four
hours yesterday adjourned the debate
on the Interpolation on the postal sit
uation until May 13. The response of
the postal employees was quick and de-
cisive. Within half an hour the federal
committee had issued an order for a
general strike and the railway mail
clerks walked out in a body. An hour
later a meeting of six thousand postal
employees at the hoppodrome took up
the battle and unanimously voted to
strike. There was no great en-
thusiasm shown but the resolution
to force the hand of the government
was apparent.
The government is playing for
time; we must not be caught mapping ''
was the spirit of the meeting as ex-
pressed by Pauron, a dismissed post
man and one of the most active or
ganizers of the movement
In debate in the chamber NJ
Sebat and Willm, Socialists, defended
the position of the strikers, affirming
their right to organize themselves in
to a syndicate as the only way Of re-
dressing their grievances and charging
the government with failure TO keep
its promises at the conclusion of the
previous strike, especially with regard
to the retirement of NJ. Simvan, under
secretary of posts and telegraphs,
NJ. Deschat considered the crisis
very grave. He laid the responsibility
for the present situation largely on
parliamentarism,' which he said was
working in a vicious circle, and he
considered that the only remedy would
be the introduction of real civil service
based on merit to end favoritism and
the spoils system.
NJ. Barthou, minister of public works
the governments only spokesman. in
sisted that neither he nor Premier
Clemenceau had promised Secrtary
Simyan's dismissal. He produced the
official journal as proof of what he
had said
The minister reaffirmed the govern
ments unalterable opposition to con.
ceding the right of state employees TO
form a syndicate, as there was no
analogy between their case and that
of the ordinary workmen who are not
protected against stoppage of work
and are not guaranteed promotion and
pensions in old age.
IF parliament asks us to reverse
our attitude continued NJ. Barthou,
1--WE will retire and leave to others
the abdictation, which would be a
mortal blow to tho imprescriptable
rights that parliament holds from the
nation and to the essential, vital and
permanent interests of the nation it.

Another statement has been made
by G.. l.. Crosby and his wife Minnie
Crosby in the matter Of the shooting
of J. R. McShan.
In this statement both agree and it
was made under conditions in which
there could be no communication be-
tween them.
Mr. Jones, of Soso, Jones county,
the father of Minnie Crosby, with
another daughter, Mrs. Baxter Bolin,
went to see Minnie Crosby in her cell.
While in the cell the old father,
who is a fine type of religious truth
fulness asked his daughter Minnie to
tell him the truth about the shooting
and asked her:
What did you have to do with the
shooting, Minnie?"
The young woman replied;
Father, had nothing to do with
the shooting"

there has been great depression all
over the country in all lines of bus

suffered the same or more, and as
business conditions are beginning to

A monument to Captain Wirz. COM
mander of the Andersonville prison
was unveiled here today. Mrs. Perrin
of Natchez, Miss, Captain Wirz' S
daughter pulled the cord that unveiled

Captain Wirz was hanged at Wash

that he had been cruel to the Northern
prisoners. He was offered a commu-
tation if he would implicate President
Davis but this he refused to do and
the South conscious that he did his
duty as a Confederate soldier and
man, and that any suffering of prison
ers was not greater than that in the
Northern prisons and was not his
fault, today honored his memory with
a monument that will last forever
