day found heroes ready for the heroic
work demanded Of officers, men and

4 believe that every one who read
the accounts OF the collision and the
jeopardy in which occupants of the
two ships were placed and the way in
which news reached the rescuers felt
that there was one silent actor in the
tragedy whose name should be immor-

Announced.
MOST DRAMATIC STORY
TOLD BY SURVIVORS
Revenue Cutter Brings in
Captain Sea|by and Men
Who Stood by Him Until
Ship Sunk.

New York, Jan. 26.-Eugef1e Lynch,
of Boston, who was injured in the
collision of the steamers Republic and
Florida. died today as result of his
injuries. His wifes body went down
with the sinking Republic.
The most dramatic story that has
come from the sea in many a day was
all told when three vessels that play
port.
The Florida of the Italian line,
which rammed the White Star steam
ship Republic in the fog early Satur-
day morning southeast at Nantucket
and took over the Republics passen-
gers until the big Baltic could race
to the rescue, arrived here this af-
ternoon.
The revenue cutter Seneca, carry
ing Capt. William l. Sealby of the
sunken Republic, and the men who
volunteered to stick to the ship with
him when the Baltic turned about for
New York. came in last night.
The Baltic. crowded with happy
people and saluted as a deep sea he
roine all the way up the bay and the
North river to the White Star pier,
arrived early yesterday, although it
could not come up to town until the
early afternoon BECAUSE Of the heavy
fog in the lower bay.
Republic Deep in the Sea.
The Republic lies in thirty-eight
fathoms of water off No Mans Land,
bit of rock and sand in the Atlantic,
not far from the western end of Mar
tha's Vineyard. 1t is not likely that
it can be raised. In it's hold are the
bodies of the only persons that were
killed when the Florida crashed into
it, w. J. Mooney, the banker of Lang
don, N. D.. and Mrs. Eugene Lynch. of
Boston. They were placed in sealed
coffins soon after the accident. The
bodies of the three sailors that were
killed on the Florida were brought
here on that ship.

Camden. O., Jan 26.-This place Is
still excited over the murder and sui
eide occurring here Saturday night.
Developments in the affair in which
Walter Hendricson killed Walter
Jack" Witherby, town marshal, and
then later turned the gun on himself
when Al Dearth came to arrest him,
show that the murderer and suicide
had planned the shooting long before
the tragedy. The coroner, O. Hara is

HENDERSON planned the tragedy
with unusual deliberation. Shortly
after his suspicious were aroused as
to the improper relations between his
wife and Witherby. it was noted that
he seemed exceptionally respondent
and uncommunicative. 1t was clearly
manifest that Hendricson was BROOD
ing over the affair and that tragedy
should eventually ensue was anticipat-
ed 1t seemed that after a period of
some time had elapsed after the picnic
Hendricson positively concluded to
kill Witherby. With this end in view
he made frequent trips up along Seven
Mile creek and practiced shooting with
his rife.
Outlined His Plans.
A few months ago Hendricson
wrote a letter to his wife's brother,
Jacob Hawkey, who lives at Castine,
o., and in this he threatened the life
of Witherby. He stated in the letter
also that he intended to kill his wife
and commit suicide at the same time
and requested that she be buried by
his side. He asked Hawkey to sell
his property in Camden and that he
give some attention to his children
who would be without parental guild

Warns His Congregation That
Saloons Are Evils, But
"Speak-easies" Are Much
Greater Harm.
PRESENT CONDITIONS
ARE TO BE PREFERRED
BY Request, the Pastor of st.
Johns Lutheran Church
Will Deliver the Same Ser
mon in English

Fearing that the elimination of the
saloons in Wayne county with the ap-
parent impossibility to regulate the
blind tigers, would be greater menace
than the existing conditions. the Rev.
A. j. Feeger of ST. Johns Lutheran
church has announced that he favors
the retention of the saloons in this
county for the time being at least.
He thinks that the elimination of
the saloons would have the result of
converting men who are now beer
drinkers into whisky drinkers. These
assertions were made by the Rev. Mr.
Feeger to a Palladium reporter this
morning.
Last Sunday this minister announced
from his pulpit that he favored the re-
tention OF the saloons in this county.
He was asked today for a synopsis of
his sermon but refused to give it. He
said that he would prepare his SER
mon for publication if SO desired, but
would not give out an interview for
fear that he might be misouoted
The Rev. Mr.. Feeger's sermon last
Sunday was delivered in German. It is
stated that his remarks were feceived
with so much approval by his congre-
cation that he has been requested to
deliver the same sermon again, in
English, next Sunday
Quotes From the Bible.
The pastor repeatedly quoted from
the Bible in making his arguments
and emphasized the following verse
from Galatians. fifth chapter:
Stand fast therefore in the liberty
wherewith Christ hath made US free,
and be not entangled again with the
yoke of bondage"
1t is stated that Rev. Feeger in his
sermon said that the saloons were
evils, but the blind tiger was a greater
evil He stated that I'VE Germans"
believed in temperance. but not in
prohibition. 1t is stated he called at
tention to the fact that Gemans are
beer drinkers. but II deprived of this
beverage they might become whisky
drinkers, more easily obtained In pro-
hibition centers than beer is.

BREED THEATER.
sThe Lonely Villa" Thrilling Suburb
80 an Motion Picture.

What is conceded to be one of the
most thrilling and perfect motion pic
lures put out by the Biograph COM
pany was shown at the Breed theater
last evening to a large and demon
strative audience. The wonderful
story of the husband leaving the fam
fly in a beautiful but secluded country
viIYa, on a fake message purporting to
come from his mother, who was said
to have started from the west ON
trip to her sons, give an excellent
opportunity for the burglars, who
have sent this message, to rob the
house. The husband starting for the
train to meet his mother, has a break
down with his auto, and is COM
PEELED to stop at tavern and phone
his family of the accident, and finds
the wife and family huddled in the
library with the burglars breaking
their way in. His machine being un-
available, ne hastily secures a gypsy
wagon and proceeds to his house at
breakneck speed, just in time to en-
ter and find the burglars at their
work, but the husband has brought
neighbors and constables and the cul-
prits are carried off to the Jail.
La Tosca, the magnificent dramatic
triumph Of Sara Bernhardt, is cor
reetly reproduced in one Of the finest
film darts of Pathe; this wonderfully
absorbing and world-famous story is
one of the most beautiful in the art
class, and is in great demand.
Miss Grace Alvin, the popular Bos-
ton soprano, will sing at every per-
fermance, giving only the best grade
of semi-classic numbers, besides her
usual illustrated songs. Critics pres
ent last evening were flattering In
their praise of her work.
