200 LOSE LIVES
IN SEA DISASTER
EXCURSION AND PASSENGER
STEAMERS COLLIDE
North German Lloyd Vessel Runs Into
Pleasure Craft Colombia in Monte
vldeo Harbor and Latter Sinks
Immediately
tBy Associated Press.l

MONTEYIDEO, Aug. .24-BetWeen
$50 and 200 persons were drowned or
otherwise killed when, in a driving rain
storm early today, the Argentine ex-
cursion steamer Colombia and the
North German Lloyd steamer Schle-
sien collided at the entrance of Mon
tevideo harbor. The Colombia was en-
tering port and the Schlesien was out
ward bound for Bremen. The Colom-
bias bow was crushed in and she sank
almost Immediately.
The Colombia carried about 200 pas
sengers and a crew of forty-eight men.
Most of tho passengers were asleep
and panic followed the crash. Small
boats were hurried to the sinking
steamer but rescue was rendered diff
ficult by the high sea. About seventy
persons were brought ashore Most
of the dead were women and children.
A majority of the survivors are men.
The Colombia was carrying eXcur-
sionists from Buenos Ayres to the fes-
tival at Montevideo. The disaster has
caused the keenest emotion. The Uru-
guayan government in consequence
has postponed the fetes arranged for
the celebration of the Inauguration of
the port.
Ihe ScnleSlen was only SllShtly udll-
aged and has been detained here by
the port authorities. Her commander
attributes the collision to the wind and
the high seas, which made both steam
ers almost unmanageable.
The channel is partially obstructed
by the wreck of the Colombia. Most
of the survivors OF that vessel were
taken from the mast5 and many of
them were injured. While great num-
bers of women and children were
drowned, almost every one of the
ships complement was saved. The
Storm continues crippling telegraphic
and telephone communication between
Buenos Ayres and Montevideo.

GET LESSON ON
SHIP SUBSIDY
CONGRESSMEN SEE R0TTlNG
SHIPS IN NORTH
Pennsylvania Representative Makes
Plain Statement Eefore Gathering
of San Francisco Business
Men at Banquet
tBy Associated Press.l

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 2i.-After a
trip around the bay, where scores or
ships are rotting for lack of merchan-
disc to carry at a profit, several OF the
delegation of congressman on their way
TO Hawaii expressed themselves as
favoring a ship subsidy appropriation,
rather than a state of stagnation such
as was shown them yesterday. At
banquet last night Congressman A. j.
Barchfield of Pennsylvania came out
hatfooted in advocacy of a subsidy.
He said In part:
'"The sixty-first congress will write
into the statute books a ship subsidy
that will build for this nation a mer-
chant marine of which it need not be
ashamed"
Richard Bartholdt of Missouri, after
commenting upon the 100000 which
Adolphus Busch had contributed to
San Francisco after the fire, said:-
"I hope to use the treasury of the
United States to contribute more than
Busch did for San Francisco. 1 realize
that it is impossible under present con-
ditions for our merchant marine to
compete with those of other nations
without either government aid or
cheapening of labor"
Among others who expressed them
selves in favor of the subsidy were Po-
lite Evans, George w. Taylor, A. F.
Dawson, Charles F. Scott, w. B. Ellis,
w. A. Rodenberg, w. Aubrey and
Thomas C. Woodward.
After partaking of breakfast. with
members of the Portola festival COM
mittee as hosts, the twenty-five con-
gressmen boarded the liner Siberia,
which sailed today for Honolulu.
The congressman united in sending
message to Secretary of the Navy
Meyer, which, after stating that exten-
slve preparations were being made for
the Portola festival to be held in this
city from October 10 to October %,
says:
'"Under the circumstances we feel
that it would be a gracious act onsthe
part Of our government to detain the
Pacific fleet here until after the cele-
bration, and we strongly and respect
fully urge that this be done"

ROOSEVELT TROPHIES
REACH THE CAPITAL
Ten Large Packages Containing Skins
of African Beasts Arrive at the
Smithsonian Institution In
Washington

WASHINGTON, Aug. 24.-An eX-
press wagon loaded with nine black
barrels and one huge box containing
trophies of the Roosevelt hunting eX-
petition in the jungles of Africa ar
rived at the Smithsonian institution
today.
More will follow.
Secretary Richard Rathbun of the
institute was startled when he saw
the packages were marked with the
initials "T. r." placed there with
white paint and large enough to be
seen a city block away.
Secretary Rathbun had regarded as
a hoax the report that these initials
of the former president were on the
packages. and he at once pronounced
them to be the evidence OF a trick by
newspaper men.
It win be some days before the casks
can be opened and their contents in
spected.
