SUES TO RECOVER FOR
DAMAGES TO STEAMSHIP
Owners of White Star Liner Republic
Ask Court TO Order Payment of
100000 for Wrecked
Vessel

NEW YORK, Jan. 2S.-Ceunsel for
the Oceanic Steam Navigation COM
pany, owners of the White Star line
steamer Republic, filed a libel in the
United States district court today
against the steamer Florida of the
Lloyd-Italiano line. which ran down
and sunk the Republic off Nantucket,
Mass, lightship. Damages of 81. $780,
900 for the loss of the ship and $780,
900 for the loss of cargo and effects of
the passengers and crew were claimed.
1t is asserted in the libel the COLI
sion was due to no fault on the part
of Captain Sealby of the Republic,
but wholly to the fault of the Florida,
which, it was alleged, did not keep a
proper course, had no sufficient look
out, did not give proper whistles nor
pay heed to the whistles of the Repub-
lie; that the Florida failed to indicate
her changes of helm; that she was
proceeding at an immoderate speed and
did not stop or back her engines; that
the Republic was running at regulated
speed; that the captain, two officers,
a quartermaster and seaman were
on the bridge with two lookouts.
The court is asked to condemn the
Florida and order the payment of
100000 damages to the owners of the
Republic.

SENSATIONAL STORY

Mystery
Especial to The Herald,

SANTA MONICA. JAM 2s.-Horrible mys-
terry vexes the nervous spirits of this quiet
town. Police vigilance Is doubted, excitement
is trebled and then some.
Respectable bankers, whose gray hairs at
test lives of virtue ana responsibility, have
armed all their employees and members of
their families and take turns during the
night watches, keeping a wakeful eye on the
treasure cqpnding public has entrusted to
their charge.
Sedate citizens have placed their wife S
grandmothers solid silver ring and what
stray dollars they possess down the cellar,
back of the cider barrel, and may be found
standing guard the family heirlooms in
wild-eyed alarm, apprehensive to what
terrible act of piracy the next few hours Will
bring forth.
And all this because some unthinking fisher
man mentioned to the correspondent of a
morning paper that twenty pounds of wilted,
water-soaked dynamite had been discovered in
the cellar of old, abandoned fish house on
Arcadia Beach, where, in all probability, it
had lain for years.

Imagination fired by stories of dark deeds

As a matter of fact, Chief of Police Bar

AS for the burglars kit mentioned in the
story, the chief said the nearest approach to
anything of the kind he could find a
can opener and a choice assortment of fish
hooks.

WORKMAN IS BURIED
UNDER MASS OF DIRT
Caught by CaVe-in That Buries Head
and Shoulders, Laborer Owes
His Life to Chill
dren

PASADENA. Jan. 2S.-Buried under a
mass Of earth which fell upon his head
and shoulders, pinning him down, Hen
ry Giswein, aged SO, would undoubtedly
have suffocated had it not been for the
efforts of two Mexican boys of about IL
years, who dug away the earth until
the man was able to struggle free.
Giswein was working alone, digging q
trench in South Raymond avenue, near
Bellevue street. The cave-in occurred
without warning, the earth catching
him as he bent over to lift a fresh
shovelful Of dirt. His cry attracted the
attention of the boys, who, finding they
could not drag him free, seized the
shovel lying by the trench and scooped
away the weight from the imprisoned
mans shoulders.
They did not stop to receive his
thanks, but ran away laughing as Gis-
vein arose. At the emergency hospital,
to which place the laborer walked, it
was found that he had sustained a
fracture of the right shoulder blade.
This was reduced by DR.. A. D. S.

LIBEL SUIT OF PRESIDENT

NEW YORK, Jan. Uncertainty
as to what action would be taken on

the New York World for libel that the
federal authorities permit HIM to pro-

removed today by the signing of an

proposition to appear as a complainant
and the county grand jury is preparing
to take the matter in hand.
Mr.. Jerome declared, however, that
he had received no reply from either
