Women and Children Struggle
For Life In Water
MEN MAKE HEROIC REScUES
Steamer Loaded With Excursionists
Crashed into Shaky Pier-Distress-
- ina Scene When Bodies Arrive

Vaudeville, La, JuneS.-Ten bodies
have been recovered from the wreck
age of the wharf which collapsed acre
Sunday afternoon just as an excursion
steamer was landing. Nine victims
are still in the water. Fifteen were
seriously injured and forty others
slightly nurt. The grand jury Will
hold special session today to con-
slider indcting officials of the New
Orleans and st. Tammany railroad
which owned the wharf. indictments
may also be asked against the OWL
ers of the steamer Margaret. Per
sons who saw the accident declare the
steamer was coming in full speed and
struck the wharf a terrific blow.
There were 400 passengers on the
wharf when the accident happened.
They were an excursion crowd, who
had been out for days outing.
When the Margaret approached they
crowded down on the flimsy platform
of the wharf waiting for a chance to
board the vessel Those in the back
pressed forward and when the steam
er struck they forced those on the
edge into III water.
AS IN - the nature of the acct
dent was realized the work of rescu
ing began. First those standing on
the wrecked steamer wharf were
helped. More than a hundred We're
in the water. Sixteen hundred life
preservers were thrown to them. Life
boats were lowered from the steamer
and sent out from the shore. I en- min
utes later the work of escue was
nearly over. Seventy-five of those
who had fallen into the lake were
taken out A few others managed to
save themselves.
That so many were drowned is be
lieved to be due to the fact that many
were stunned when the ship crashed
against the wharf and were unable tC
fight for their lives. Four little girls
and one boy were crushed to death in
the collapse of the wharf. Then
bodies were put on the Margaret and
sent to New Orleans. The other vic
tins were drowned.
Most of those who fell into the
water were women and children, ans
this made the work of rescue more
difficult. Many acts of heroism were
performed. Six men standing on the
top deck of the Margaret jumped
overheard without removing coat.

rival of the Margaret at this city with

STAMFORD YOUTH
RES|STS ARREST
AND ESCAPES
Wanted For Fishing During
Closed Trout Season
TOO MUCH FOR CONSTABLE
Young Mans Father Interfered and
Has Been Held for County
Court

There was a lively mix up In STAN
ford Sunday between Constable Will

ky.young man for whose arrest the con
stable had warrant on a charge of
fishing out of season, issued by Coun-
ty Game Warden Harry Chase.
1t is claimed that young Radel
fished the Stamford trout streams be-
fore the law went off. He works In
Clarksburg, however, and 1t was not
until Sunday that the constable sue
ceeded in finding him at the Vermont
nome of his father near the Tudor
mill.
The constable drove to the house &C
companied by his brother. Guy See
gar. Young Radel resisted arrest and
proved too much for both the consta-
BILE and his brother. The younger
Seegar is only boy and was quick
ly disposed of by Radel who then turned
his attention to the constable, threw
him down and cnoked him.
By this time the elder Radel and
one or two other boys in the family
appeared on the scene and constable
Seegar pulled his revolver and the
quarrel ended at once.
A telephone message received this
forenoon by County Warden Chase
stated that Young Radels father, John
Radel. had been arrested for his part
in the ARRAY on charge of breach of
the peace. that he had been brought
before Justice Dunn and been held for
county court.

cheerfulness fixed and permanent.
Those are often raised into the great

though it does not give the mind such
exquisite gladness, prevents us from
falling into any depths of sorrow.
Mirth is like fash of lightning that

VERMoNTERS AT HARVARD
Club Formed Among Students There
Harvard Club in Vermont Next

Cambridge, Mass, June THE stu
dents from Vermont in Harvard uni
versity held meeting recently to take
steps for the organization of a Yer
mont club" TIE gathering was the
outcome of pleasant reception ten
dered to the Vermonters short time
ago by Dean and Mrs. Hurlbut of the
university. Several of those present
at that time conceived the idea of a
permanent association to promote a
close acquaintance among the Yer
mont men at Harvard.
Their plans eliminated in a meet
ing, held in the committee room of
the Harvard union recently. At that
time, committee, composed of Guy
Stevens of Essex Junction, G. H. How
ard of Craftsbury and l.. c. Staples of
Burlington was selected to formulate
plans for permanent association.
This committee later organized with
G. II. Howard chairman and l.. C. Sta
Piles secretary. AS the college year is
now practically over, nothing more
definite was decided but it is intended
TO renew activities early in the aut-
umn and at that time to elect officers
and committee TO frame a suitable
constitution.
At present there are in the different
deDartments of the university 26 Yer
mont men. This seems to be very
fair number and should make the I'M
dertaking feasible in every way. The
fiourishing Vermont association of
Boston, which occupies very pleasant
rooms at Hotel Westminster, is ready
to cooperate with the new movement
and assist in getting the thing start
ed.
A movement is now on foot for the
formation of a. Harvard club in Yer
mont, composed of all those residing
in the state who have attended Har.
ward university. In recent years
many such clubs have been organized
throughout the country and there
seems no reason why the success
which mas attended these associations
in other places should not be repeated
in Vermont where there are over 60
Harvard alumni

place was abandoned owing to inabiI.

was then changed to Pittsfeld and

with the exception of the pews for

The board voted unanimously tC

work was left to the building commit

Gus other interior centers.
1t is further Mr.. Gates view that by
using this supplementary aid in road
Improvement according to the plan
above mentioned, that good roads may
be acquired as matter of steady
growth in a way that taxpayers will
not seriously feel. New Hampshire,
by recent wholesale appropriation has
provided for a number of trunk lines
of highway, that will call for a very
large outlay of money in a period COM
paratively short Mr.. Gates believes
that Vermont may accomplish accep-
table results on the same lines with
out adding naticeable charges upon
taxation.
AS to the watchfui care of roads in
the respective counties referred to
early in this article, Mr.. Gates will is
sue special Instructions and sugges-
tions to local supervisors concerning
that work. These will be based to
some extent on the road mending prac-
tees in several European countries,
which, perhaps, stand most of all on
the adage, "a stitch in time saves
nine" He will also furnish sugges-
ton to autoists and purveyors of heav-
Ter traffic as to the rational use of the
roads, that every interest may coop
crate towards keeping the roads good
after they are made so. I

WAS ORGANIZING NEGROES
Barre Man Driven Out Of the State
Of Georgia.

Atlanta, June S.-Jesse Miller of
Barre, VT, has been driven from the
state for attempting to organize neg
roes into labor unions and to induce
them to strike for higher wages.
Miller came to Georgia about six
weeks ago and began work In the ru-
raj districts. He told the negroes he
represented Northern society which
wanted to better the conditions of the
negroes and the way to do 1t was to
form labor unions and strike on the
planters. He formed several lodges
and collected fee of $40 from each.
Last Friday Miller reached Sparta
and began his work among negroes.
When the planters learned what he
was doing they handled him roughly
and drove him from town. He went
to Milledgeville and was again rough
ly treated by white citizens, who put
MIN on a train and had him accom-
panied from the state.
