WHAT WAS CAUSE
OF FERRY SINKING
No Evidence of Storm, Overload
ing or Machinery Breakdown
in Lake Michigan Disaster.

LUDINGTON, Mich, Sept 10.-That
car ferry No. Is and the loss of twenty
nine lives was not due to a storm, to
overlooking or to breakdown in the
vessels machinery, and that the real
cause of the disaster will never be
fully determined, is the conclusion
reached by General Superintendent w.

vestigate the wreck.
According to the report sent by Mr..
Trump to Pere Marquette headquarters
in Detroit today, Captain Russell, of

that No. Is was sinking and lowered
his lifeboats just before No. IS went to
the bottom.

Cochrane, vice-president of that COM
pany, and corps of extra scrubbers,
carpet layers, etc. who were working
While the boat was moving in order to
save time. Mr. Cochrane was saved,
but his four men were lost.
The first intimation those on board
No. is had that anything vas wrong
was when the wheelsman, about 4
o'clock a. m, found that the vessel was
not responding quickly. Tha Conpart-
ment aft Of the engine room was then
found TO contain d considerable amount
of water, though not enough to disturb
the firemen and deckhands sleeping
there.
Distress signals were given as the
vessel continued to sink and the life
boats on the port side were lowered,
but not cut away from the ship. Cap
tain Kitty continuing to head the
steamer for the west shore of Lake
Michigan. All of the survivors jumped
or were thrown from the boat when
she sank and were picked up by boats
from steamer No. IL.

piOns Woodrow WiIson-"En-
titled to Square Deal" He Says.
"HILFERS'S VIEWS BIASED:
MIND NOT OPEN TO REASON"
Declares State Federation Or
ficer Had No Authority to
Speak for Labor.
EDGAR WILLIAMSON

Edgar Williamson pays his respects
to Henry f. Hilfers, secretary of the
New Jersey State Federation of Labor,
in letter that makes interesting read
ing. Mr.. Williamson is the editor Of
the American Labor Standard. of Or
ange. and recently came prominently
before the public through the publi-
cation of the now famous Woodrow
Wilson labor letter
Mr.. Williamsons retort was evoked
by recent publication from Hilfers.
in which the latter, it Is claimed, as
sumed the right to speak for labor in
its attitude toward Woodrow Wilson.
and because his illusions to the labor
editor were considered unfair. Will
iamson's reply induces various emo
tlons. He resorts to rdicule, sarcasm
and facts. He accuses Mr.. Hlfers OF
being an exaggerated ego who would
emulate the strenuous one" He in
Inmates that Hilfers had no authority
to speak Tor labor in an official ca
pacity, and sums up the situation by
the statement that his activity in this
controversy is not aetuated by malice
or money. but solely to see that labor
is not betrayed by its friends and that
Woodrow Wilson receives that which
every man is entitled to--a square deal.

teaance. and TO prove her marriage 70

James Weagher. rector of Trinity
Episcopal Church, Hobolen, produced
the parish records to show that
Thomas w. Dram and Laura Jane
Tyack were married In the rectory OF
that church on December q, 1895. A
copy of the record of the birth of their
daughter, Anna Marion Dram. on June
Is. 1896, In England, was also put In
evidence.

Port Dram. New Jersey, and a brother
is mayor Of that town.. The orau,

land near Port Dram. The marriages
ceremony In Hoboken was performed.
according to the parish records, by the
Rev. DR.. Houghton, now rector Of athe
Little Church Arosind the Corner in
New York. When Mrs Dram was re-
called today Vice Chancellor Emery

eighty-sfx letters she wrote to Dram
and what she meant when she wrote
she would keep her promise to him.
She said Dram kept urging her to sue
for divorce, and she promised TO dc
so IL he would be good to her a year
Her attorney and the attorney for Mr.
Dram made their arguments today

but let him. pay money for the support
Iof herself and their child. girl Is years
old. in his own way" Asked why
Dram wanted her to sue for divorce
she said: ''I suppose II was because he
wanted to marry another woman"
Mr.. King opened his argument by
in cases similar to the Dram suit. He
told of a man taking young woman
from New Jersey to New York city and
being married by minister in his
house. The woman did not have q
marriage record. could not remember
the name of the minister or the street
he lived in. but she knew it was near
Central Park. Her attorney had the
marriage records Of New York city
searched and got q copy Of the record
OF the marriage. On this record the
court decided for the woman.
Mr.. King said that the parish records
of the church In Hoboken signed by
Dram and his bride and the Rev. DR..
Houghton and a witness was no evi-
dence and proved that the couple were
married as Mrs. Dram had sworn. He
said Dram had nerve, to come into
court, admit he, was the father OF the
child and then deny the marriage.
Benjamin w. Eilicot, of Dover. made
the argument for Dram.
