STEAMER ON FIRE
RACES TO PIER
Sister Ship of SIocnm, on Which
938 Lost Lives, Damaged
by Blaze

NEW YORK, July 6.-The old wooden
ship of the i'll fated excursion steamer
General Slocum, caught fire this after
noon while passing through the Mar
rows on the way to New York from Far
Rockaway. 1t hurried full steam ahead,
with the whistle blowing continuous
succession of short blasts and a plume
of smoke trailing behind for Brook
lyn pier
The 45 passengers were landed safely
and the fire was extinguished with
$4,000 damage, but there was great
alarm in the city and on the harbor un-
til all details were known. Everybody
remembered how a little more than six
years ago the Slocum caught fire in the
East river when crowded with 800
pleasure seekers. mostly women and
children. and was burned to the waters
edge with 93s drowned crushed or
baked alive.
Today. as then, the fire started in the
galley and spread quickly through the
wooden superstructure. There was no
panic. The women were badly fright
ened, but the crew had no trouble in
keeping them in hand, and the children
were so pleased with the music of the
band, which kept playing, that they
never knew their danger

PLOT TO MURDER
HARRIMANS FAILS
Dynamite Cartridge Hung Over
Road on Estate Would Have
Killed AutOists
Especial Dispatch TO The Call

GOSHEN, n. Y, July 6.-A dynamite
cartridge with percussion cap was
found this morning dangling from a
tree over a road near the Hartman
estate and was in such position that
passing automobile probably would
have struck and exploded it.
Frank McMurtrie, a teamster in the
employ of the Hartman estate, discov-
cred it about 200 yards from the depot
opposite the Ramapo bridge, near the
intersection of the Arden House road
and the state road, which are frequent
IL used by Hartman automobisists
from the Arden house and the Arden
farms and dairy.
McMurtrie called a lumberman on the
estate, who carefully took down the
cartridge, detached the cap and threw
the dynamite into the river G. o.
Bush, chief of police of the Tuxedo,
started an investigation.
Work on the Hartman estate is
going along as usual, and there is no
labor trouble of any kind. The average
monthly payroll is $4,000. A few men
were laid off recently, but their kind of
work was completed and they did not
expect employment longer. The Harri-
man family is now at Arden house, Mr..

PLEA and PRIVATE
Income Win Girl
Navy Department Wires Mid
sIlipman L. Kaufman That
lie May Marry

Before the pleadings of cupid the
stern severity of the .navy department
at washington has melted away. rules
and regulations have been put aside
and the order has gone forth that Mid
shipman James Lawrence Kaufman, u.
S. n, may marry Miss Elsa Draper, the
girl of his choice. telegraphic permis-
sion having been received by the young
officer yesterday
Kaufman, as rnidshipnsn, was not
allowed to marry. the paternal big
wigs in the washington bureaus having
decided that the middle on a salary of
$125 month. minus legitimate ex-
penses, was too frail to venture upon
the rough seas of matrimony Kauff-
man, therefore, decided to marry when
he passed his examinations for en-
sign. He won his girl. announced the
wedding date-and then failed to pass
the exams.
Followed then wall. The wedding
was postponed. Kaufman tore his
hair, and when the first spasm had
passed began to work upon the feel
ings Of the unsentimental navy de-
partment.
He pointed out that he had an inde-
pendent private income, that he had
failed in one subject only, and that
that the girl had purchased her tros-
seau. In the face of this the navy de-
partment bowed and winked its eye,
telling Kaufman to go ahead with the
wedding.
Owing to the i'll health of Morgan
Draper, brother of the bride to be, no
definite date has been set, but the prob
abilities aer that it will take place
quietly in September.

Thrilling Experience
Especial Dispatch to The Call

Especial Dispatch to The Call
YOSEMITE. July s.-After IL days in
the wild and rugged Sierra. lost in a
labyrinth of sheep trails. short of ra-
tions, sore and weary and their horses
just about exhausted. Harvey Ghirar-
delli of San Francisco and Lloyd CreHin
of Oakland reached here this afternoon.
Eleven days ago the boys after spend
ing a few days in Yosemite with Virgil
Jorgensen. classmate in the Univer-
sity of California. started over the
overland route on horseback with an
additional pack animal to make the
trip to Tahoe, taking 10 or II days
rations. The second day out the trail
became mixed with intersecting ones
made by sheep. in the mountain pas
lures, making it impossible to follow
the main path. Soon the boys found
themselves wandering aimlessly about
in an effort to get clear of the sheep
trails. determined to push on toward
Tahoe.
After being lost three days and with
rations running low. they decided dis
cretion was the better part of valor and
laid their plans to get back to Yose-
mite for supplies. In this they were
successful, but were compelled to walk
and led their horses for the last two
days. the animals not being safe to ride
down the steep cliff trails in their
jaded condition.
The boys are taking much needed
rest at the Jorgensen cottage and in
tend to make another attempt to get to
Tahoe by another route in few days.
