Torrent of. Water Is Pouring
Through Canada's Ruined
100000 Canal.
ENGINEER IS GIVEN BLAME
Goes Full Speed Ahead on Captains
Order to "Back''-Three Vessels
Damaged; One Sinks.

Sault Ste. Marie, Mihc., June II. -
With all the weight of Lake Superior
behind it, an ungoverned torrent of
water PUSHES through the $4,000, 900
Canadian canal built to carry vessels
around the impossible rapids Of the
st. Mary's river. TIE entire fall of
approximately twenty feet is concen-
trated in the lock which was wrecked
yesterday when the steamer Perry G.
Walker of the Gi!christ fleet ram,ned
her bow through the lower gate. The
canal incased within it's walls pre-
sents a tremendous spectacle, includ-
ing two waterfalls and a giant whirl-.
pool. J
Tremendous Power Let Loose. |
The upper gates were open vhenl
the Walker crashed open the lower,
gates, and the tremendous power off
the rapids was given instant playa
The big steamer Assiniboia, moored
within the lock chamber, was torn
from her mornings. Riding on the
crest of tie food, she jammed the
Walker from hsr path. the Assini-
boia's port anchor ripping a hole in
the Walkers aside. The Assiniboi
swept into the open reaches of the
river below.
The Walker was whirled around
several times and finally landed on a
shoal out of the channel. 1t is said
she is unchanged below the water
line.
Steamer Goes to Bottom.
The o%re-laden steamer Crescent
City, which was Just entering the
locks from Lake Superior when the
accident occurred, was swept down
stream like a feather. She overlook
the A%ssiniboia and struck the latter
two glancing blows after having a
great hole torn in her side as she
swept past the broken lower gate.
Tugs caught her and towed her to
the American side. where she settled
to the bottom.
Engineer Is Blamed.
The loss to the Canadian govern
ment will probably reach $4,000. and
the damage to the Crescent CITY is es-
timated at 800, 900. The damage to
The steamers Walker and A%ssiniboia
was comparatively light.
Capt. Mosher of the steamer Walker
declares that the accident was caused
by his engineer making a mistake and
throwing his lever to "fa;l speed
ahead on the captains signal to
back up"

ROBBERS TAKE BAND STAND.
Palm for UnaduIterated Nerve Must
Go to Merry Burglars at Jersey City.

Jersey City, N. j., June 10. - The
palm of pure, unalloyed and unadul-
terated nerve will have to be award
ed to the merry band of burgling and
housebreaking individuals who de-
scended yesterday upon Mary Benson
Park, in the Italian quarter of Jersey
City and carried off the band stand
which for many years constituted it's
chief ornament.
The deliberateness with which the
work of demolition and later Of trans
portation by truck was accomplished
entirely disarmed suspicion, and the
stand had disappeared several hours
before the authorities could bring
themselves to a realization of what
happened.
The structure was fifteen feet
square, with ornate balustrade steps
and ornamented roof of metal.
