DROWNED LIKE
RATS IN CAGE
Thrilling Stories Of Survivors
of Accident in Which
Twenty Died

Pittsburg, May 1.-THE survivors of
last nights accident in which twenty
men were drowned. tell thrilling
stories of their experiences. When
the gasoline launch in which the men
were crossing the river to their home S
after ohnlpleting tl(4ir days work,
left the shore. it had thirty men
crowded in the space that was not
meant to hold more than twenty. One
man weighing 200 pounds swan to
the shore, about mile distant, clad
in heavy underwear, working vlothes
and shoes.
All the men were employees OF the
Pressed Steel company at the McKees
| Rocks plant. The men had been
working overtime until s o'clock and
left the works TO cross the river in
the launch. The boat is said to have
been intended for not more than
twenty persons. and it is said it was
dangerous to attemopt to carry as
many I"ShlS 11uI lAlll AACh
crowded in. Albert Graham. the pi-
lot. one of those who is missing, is
said to have stated that it was safe
as he had had twenty-seven persons
in it last night. When the boat
reached the middle Of the stream,
where the water is twenty feet Deep
the boat suddenly sank.
There was no explosion and no leak
was sprung. but the beat simply sank
beneath the weight. AS it sank. it
caused suction which took many of
the men down with it. Others at
tempted to swim ashore but were
chilled by the cold water and became
exhausted. So far as is known, only
ten men reached the shore.
The region is sparsely settled where
the accident occurred. One of the
men who succeeded in swimming
ashore, ran to telephone.

HAMS FACES A
LONG PEN TERM
Conviction Yesterday Means
From One to Twenty Years
in Prison

Flushing. N. Y. May 12.-Captain
Peter c. Hams, Jr., faces a prison
term of from one to twenty years.
Despite testimony submitted by the
defense as tending to show insanity.
he was convicted late yesterday of
manslaughter in the first degree for
killing William f. Annis at the Bay
side Yacht club last August.
Quickly following the army officers
conviction, his counsil announced that
they would produce aftldavits to show
that the jury had not been properly
guarded in the trial and upon this
allegation will urge that new trial
be granted. These aff1davits will be
submitted on Monday. the time set for
passing sentence. and for any motions
that the defendants counsel desire to
make. There will. of course, be the
usual motions to set aside the verdict
as against the weight of evidence and
contrary to law. but the unguarded
jury feature is the only departure from
the stereotyped procedure looking to
a new trial.

TO FORT OMAHA
Balloon Tests Will Be Conducted
From Another Army Post.

Washington, May 12.--Owing to the
failure Of congress to provide funds
for the construction of a gas plant
and balloon house at the Fort Myer
aerodrome, Gen. James Allen, chief
officer of the signal corps. has been
forced to change his plans for the
aeronautical trials and tests at Fort
Myer this summer.
The army motor balloon No. 1, pur-
chased last fall, has been inflated and
ready to make flight at Fort Myer
for the last week, but the circus tent
in which it is housed over night when
flights are being made is not regarded
as safe and the officers were not will
ing to risk removing it from its win
ter shed.
The motor balloon will be shipped
Immediately to Fort Omaha, where a
modern hydrogen gas plant and a
balloon house have been erected.
Within ten days the balloon detach-
ment and Lieutenants Lahm. Foulois.
Winter, Bamberger and Dickenson, of
the aeronautical division, will go to
Fort Omaha. In the meantime free
flights will be made in the signal
corps spherical balloon No. II, which
has a capacity of $4,000 cubic feet of
gas and can carry three men. Lieu
tenants Lahm and Foulois will return
to Washington for the aeroplane
trials after instructing other officers
IN the handling of the dirigible.
Gen. Allen had planned to conduct
numerous experiments with the diri-
gible at Fort Myer, including exhaus-
tive tests with wireless, telephone and
telegraph. He had also planned to
cooperate with the artillery corps in
conducting various tests to demon
strate the feasibility of using diri.
gible for purposes of attack. The
change in the program for the bal
loon flights will mot interfere in plans
for the Wright Brothers and Herring
aeroplane trials at Fort Myer.

23-YEAR-OLD BABY
Cndeveloped Child Begins Transform.
alton Under Thyroid Treatment,

London, May 12-Dispatches on
various occasions have referred to the
extraordinary case of Mildred Hart,
now % years old, who since the age
of five until few months ago had not
developed, either physically or men,
tally. and was in all respects baby.
Last September treatment Of the girl
by the administration of thyroid ex-
tract was begun, and has been pur-
sued with results, and has been fully
described by a special correspondent
Of the London Daily Mail, who tele-
graphs from Devonshire as follows:
Il drove from the railway station
to the cottage in which Mildred's par
ents live, and just as l arrived there
the girl and her mother were return
ing home. Mildred was in a pream-
bulator wheeled by Mrs. Hart. What
found was astonishing. The little
creature, who looked at me. smiled,
and pointed a finger at me from the
preambulator. was just an ordinary
child of or years. There was no
conspicuous sign of deformity or ar
rested development. There were
none of the painful symptoms common
to cretonism. The child's eyes were
clear and bright. her cheeks rounded
and her entire appearance healthy. 1t
seemed incredible that she was born
% years ago.
DefOrmed and Stunted.
I'VE went into the house. and Mrs.
Hart produced large photograph of
Mildred taken before the thyroid
treatment was begun. The photo
graph showed little girl with all the
pitiful and very dreadful signs of
cretinism, a creature with all human
ity lacking. wretched, stunted. de-
formed body, and face more than
simfan In idiocy, surrounded with
hair like wire. turned from the
photograph to Mildred. and wonder
grew at the transformation of her
rible half-human being into child
selfish-looking. but not unattractive.
1T seems a veritable miracle, but
apart from the marvellous physical de-
velopmen of Mildred Hart there is an
ether and very strange feature of
the story. an extraordinary physical
side of the case. To all outward
seeming Mildred was an idiot from
birth until few weeks back How
then can one explain the fact she re-
members and explains things that
happened long ago?
1T is eighteen years since one Of
her brothers broke his les. Mildred.
a few days ago, spoke of this. Poor
Bert has got bad leg. she exclaim-
ed. At the time of the accident Mil
dred was seemingly insensible to ev-
erything that went on around her.

family had almost forgotten. She
lisps tunes that she heard i'll 1890.

Where was the child's individuality.
her soul. at that time?

Where was the child's individuality,
her soul, at that time?
Mildred has grown couple of
inches since the thyroid treatment
was begun. She is now a little over
three feet tall. Outwardly there is
no difference between her and the or
dinary child just gaining conscious
ness of its surroundings. She has
the smile of baby. Formerly she
never smiled at all. Just like nor
NAL child, she delights in mimicking
the cries of animals While l was
with her some sheep-'silly sheep
she called them-passed the cottage,
and Mildred clapped her hands and
'baad.' l gave her my watch to play
with and she listened to the ticking
with an ordinary child's fascinated
interest. She is enormously proud of
any new dress and confided to me
that she was going to have a cream
colored gown. She also informed me
her molly dolly had been broken
to pieces. She doesn't like the post
man and shook her fist when she
spoke of him, all this with the clear
confidence the captivating simplicity
and the sparkling eyes of an average
intelligent child"
