BELIEVE AIRSHIPS
CAN AID WIRELESS
Aero Enthusiasts Point Out
Possible Value in Many
Wrecks.

The wonderful part played by wire
less telegraphy IN the rescue of passen-
gers Of the White Star liner Republic,
when it was wrecked of Nantucket, is
today causing keen speculation among
aero enthusiasts as 10 the possibilities
Of the airship under similar conditions.
Vice President Thomas Nelson Page,
of the Washington Aero club. and Brig.
Gen. James Allen, chief signal officer OF
the navy. both expressed the belief to-
day that in the not distant future the
dirisible balloon OF aeroplane viii form
part OF the equipment of coast life
saving stations or in other ways DE
utilized TO succor individuals in ship
wrecks.
Tt is pointed out in support Of their
belief that it is "a comparatively short
time since that wireless biography was
Ia the same early stage Of development
that has been reached by eNperimenters
IN aerial navigation.

800 LOST At SEA
ON THE BOUR1OYNE
Without Wireless Calls for
Help-Passengers Fought
Desperately.

Nearly eleven yearg ago. before the
days of the wireless, the French steam
er BouTgOyne ramued. much as the Re
public was yesterday, went down off
Sable Islands, as 500 doomed souls
fought and prayed for life.
The horror of the Bourgoyne, intensi-
fed because men and women forgot all
save self in the shadow Of the death
that overlook them, stands without
parallel in the history OF more recent
tragedies on the sea. That the passen-
gers and crew Of the Republic escaped
is due TO the nerve and discipline of her
officers and to the wizardy of wireless
biography, which has again proven it's
practicability and has as a testimonial
perhaps 1900 saved lives.
Struck by Steamship.
Early in the morning Of July 4, 1898
the Bourgoyne was crashed into by the
British iron steamship Cromartyshire.
All in the first cabin were lost. OF
the 300 women aboard, one was saved.
The others met death by drowning or
at the hands Of frenzied man, some Of
them italian immigrants. who trampied
and fought their way to the ships
sides.
But a few moments elapsed from the
time the ship was rammed until she
sank. the hiss of the waters as they
closed over her blotting out forever one
Of the most awful sights ever witnessed
upon the high seas.
The officers were yOWeTless TO CurD
. the frightened men and women who
within the moment had turned the
ships decks into bedlam.
Forty women were placed Upon a
raft which was tied to the ships SIDE
but not a passenger had The presence OF
mind nor the time to cut the rope JhaJ
held IL and with all on board II sank
i'm the Whirlpool thai enveloped the
larger vessel AS the ship sank, men
who struggled to keep heads above water
bv C.lutchiug the guuWales, were beaten
back bv freuZled companions who could
not live themselves and would not let
others live.
Other Vessel Aided.
The British ship that had been the
cause OF it all stood by for hours and
assisted as best she could in rhe work
Of rescue Five officers of the Bour-
gone were snatched from the waves.
The collision was similar in many re-
spects to that Of the Republic and
Florida. A dense fog hung over it all;
the less disabled ship assisted in the
rescue; there was the same mixture Of
/ Immigrant and hTst-Class passenger, the
same confusion and babble Of tongues
only then the wireless was missing
An echo Of the BourgOyne tragedy
was heard all over this country. for
almost every large city had inhabi-
tauJs aboard.

AMENDMENT IS VALID.
Supreme Court Holds Amendment
Providing Clerical Help for As
SCISSORS Is Valid.

I The constitutional amendment pro-
viding clerical assistance for county
assessors is held valid by the supreme
court and in accordance with an opin-
ion handed down Wednesday writ of
mandate was issued. directing the
board of commissioners of Ada county
to hear evidence fot the purpose of de-
termining the necessity for deputies and
other clerical assistance in the Office of
the assessor.
The court in reviewing the case care
fully defines the difference in the two
constitutional amendments submitted
at the last general election and of which
the amendment abolishing the probate
courts was declared to be invalid The
court in touching upon the two amend
ments cites that the probate court
amendment was not regularly submitted
to the people as provided by the eonsti-
tuition and therefore would have no
force and effect even though receiving
majority vote at the general election.
OF the assessors amendment the court
holds that it was regularly submitted TO
the people and adopted as part of tho
constitution.
