SATURDAY.
She Was Bound From New York to

Can Be Found Of Her Along the
Coast.

New York, Feb. 1.-The mysterious
steamer which went down oyer Dia-
mond Shoals early Saturday morning.
the identity OF which cannot be estab
lished, though every effort has been
made, is now believed to be the steam
ship Alamo, of the Mallory line
which was bound from New York to
Galveston, and it is thought that the
entire crew and all the passengers
lost their lives.
Several steamers have been men
toned in connection with the disas-
ter, but all of them have been re-
ported except the Alamo. She sailed
from this port several days ago ana
was bound TO Galveston, Texas. She
should have arrived in Key West yes
terday. but reports from that port to,
day stated that she had not as yet
arrived kilograms were today sent
to a number of ports along the south
Atlantic and Gulf coasts, asking if the
Alamo had put in, but in each instance
came the reply that nothing was
known of her.
Tonight the wireless telegraph peo-
pie claim that it is the Mallory line
steamer Alamo, and, inasmuch as no
report from her whatever can be Sc
cured, it is believed here thq4 she Is
the steamer which went down.
Reports from the life saving station
at Hatteras, North Carolina, states
that no wreckage whatever has been
seen drifting and that none has been
seen from tttie shore, and there was no
way of ascertaining the identity Of
the reported wrecked steamer
The Mallory steamer Alamo is we'll
known in this port, she having been
one of the boats on the run between

years when the Mallory line made

WANT ASYLUM FOR
WHITE PLAGUE WAR
To Ask Freeholders to Give For.
met County Home for Insane
for tuberculosis Hospital.

A special committee, consisting of
Supreme Court Justice Francis ].
Swayze, Louis Hood. Charles G. Tits
worth and former Judge Skinner, Is
busy formulating a petition to be pre-
scented to the Board of Freeholders at
its next meeting. Thursday afternoon,
August IL, asking that the board turn
over to the Committee of One Hundred
the former County Insane Asylum, in
South Orange avenue, and devote the
$50, 900 voted by the freeholders for the
war on tuberculosis TO the maintenance
of the building as a hospital for the
care of advanced cases of the disease.
The committee estimate that the cost
of maintenance for 100 or $50 patients
would, at the lowest, be s. a week for
eoch. and that a fair start for a county
tuberculosis hospital would be 109
patients.
Whether the Board of Freeholders
will consent to this is a question. In
answer to the committee of one hun
dred's request for the use of part of the
building as a winter shelter for the
open-air patients, as put up TO the free
holders at their last meeting, the gen
era sentiment among the ~freeholders
seemed to be that they had no author
lty to devote the county's buildings to
any special cause, however worthy.
The asking for the use of the building
n the devotion of the appropriation
to its maintenance as a county hos
pital, however, puts a different light
on the matter. The f~reeholders would
then be devoting the county's money
to the county's use, and the tubercu-
losis fighters are hopeful that their re-
quest will be granted.
When it is considered that there are
approximately 1000 deaths from con-
sumption every year in the county, the
~freeholders would seemingly be JUST
fed in taking measures for the proven
ton of at least a part of these deaths
The management of the hospitar
would be in the hands of the executive
branch of the committee of one hun.
dred, but would be a county, and not
a special institutions. enterprise.
