covered. 1t was stated today that
twenty-five men lost their lives.
Pittsburg, Pa, May IL. Twenty
persons are missing and all are be-
lleved to have been drowned when
gasoline launch sank in the middle of
the Ohio river near Schonville, four
mics below here last night. OF thirty
occupants of the boat only ten are
known to have escaped.
The missing are: Albert Graham,
pilot; George Thompson, Boots"
O'Neil James Connor, Walter Low,
Thomas Kennedy, William Guthrie,
Henry Vigelei, Dennis Murphy, Tony
Bole, Louis Golstein, William Davis.
Joseph Lyle, VIII Burke, two brothers
named Bolts and Ruskey and three
others whose names are unknown.
Launch Overcrowded.
All the men were employees of the
Pressed Steel Car company at Nc,
Kees Rocks plant. The men had been
working overtime until o'clock and
left the works to cross the river in the
launch about fifteen minutes later. The
boat is said to have been intended for
not over twenty persons and it is said
it was dangerous to attempt to carry
as many as twenty-five in it. But all
men wanted to get across on the first
trip and thirty crowded in. When the
boat reached the middle of the stream
where the water is perhaps twent!
feet deep, the boat suddenly sank. Al
it sank, it caused suction which tool
many men down with it. The Others
attempted to swim ashore, but were
chilled by the. cold water and became
exhausted before reaching the shores
AS far as it is known, only ten reached
shore.
List May be Twenty-one.
BY midnight it was certain that al
the missing men were drowned, ant
it is believed the list to be twenty-on'
instead of twenty as first stated.
John Deer, who lived on the rive
bank and heard the cries for help
went out in skiff and saved eigh
lives. One man swan to the bank ant
was saved. 1t is thought that not an
other Of the thirty reached shore.

William A. Sorsby for the assassina-

was: 1--WE, the jury, find the defend
ant guilty, and fix his punishment at
life Imprisonment in the penitentiary.
Attorneys for the defense have filed
a motion for a new trial, which Of
course will be overruled; they will
then appeal to the supreme court.
Meantime Sorsby will remain in the
Kinds county Jail until his case is
finally disposed of, when he will be
sent to the penitentiary, where he
will remain for a few years, until the
atrocity of his crime has been forgot

same maudlin sentiment which saved
his forfeited life at the trial will
prompt people to sign a petition for
pardon, and some future governor will

,sErTAs~-3usINEss.

Conservative business men every
where are agreed that business condi-
tons are improving; that confidence
is being restored, and that the panic
of last year will soon be matter of
memory. This is not because, of the
election of Republican PRESENT. Not
as the result of any legislation that
has been passed by Congress. But
rather in spite of these things.
Granting that general business
conditions are gradually improving"
says the Wall Street Journal in a re-
cent article as all hands seem to
agree, the fact remains that the i'm
provement is taking place, not be-
cause of the attitude of congress, but
in spite of it. The statesmen assembl-
ed in Washington are not helping
the situation in the least. Their
treatment of the tariff question is
evasive, timid and open to the sus-
picion of downright selfishness. The
average uemDeI VI COnSISSS lutCl-
prets tariff revision as meaning lower
duties on all commodities except those
produced by his own district"
The retention of the present tariff
duty on Canadian lumber will be felt
perceptibly in this immediate district.
But the time will come when the pros
perity of this section will be indie
pendent of congressional legislation.
The opening of the Panama Canal will
bring to our doors the markets of the
world and trade and commerce will
assume basis of international stabil-
ity.
AS the Wall Street Journal points
out, the tariff question is largely To-
cal What is good for one section of
the country is usually bad for some
other section-and vice versa. For
this reason it occurs to The News that
if this country would devote half the
time and attention to the matter of
creating a market for American goods
abroad that it does to the prevention
of foreign competition at home, the
country would profit thereby.
