THRILLING NARRATIVE TOLD
BY SOLE SURVIVOR OF WRECK
Awful Experiences of Those on Board
Steamer General Chanzy.

Ciudadela, BaIearic Islands, Feb. IA
Marcel Rode1, the sole survivor OF
the steamer General Chanzy, which
was wrecked Thursday on a reef off
the Island of Minorca, told a thrilling
narrative prior to his departure for
France this evening of the terrible ex-
periences of the steamer and those on
board.
.sWhen the Chanzy left MarseilIes she
encountered a rough sea and a north
erly gale. The passengers were not
apprehensive, however, and all retired
on the night of the 9th in good spirits.
At O'Clock the next morning I was
awakened by a splitting crash, as if
the ships flank had been torn on a
ledge. I dressed partially and hurried
out of the cabin. Sailors were trying
words had no effect on the crowd of
men and women, many of whom were
dragging children
.eThe darkness added terror to the
frightfu1 scene Enormous seas were
breaking over the steamer. One sea
ripped off a railing to which a score of
women and children were clinging
Their sl1rieI5s as they disappeared were
drowned by the roar of the storm.
Il saw it was death to remain, and,
being an excellent swimmer I allowed
myself to be carried off by the next
wave. At the moment the sea swept
me shoreward the air was rent by a
violent explosion, the wreckage shoot
but the General Chanzy had disappear
ed. The horrible confusion was soon
ended and the cries silenced, the beat
ing storm alone remained. Evidently I
lost consciousness, for remembered
no more until / came to on the rocks
Rodel took refuge i'm a grotto at the
base Of a high cliff, where he passed
a day and night. With the wreckage
he built barricade to keep off the seas
and appeased his hunger with raw po-
tatoes which had been cast into the
cavern
On the morning of the nth he scaled
the cliff and wearily dragged himself
to the nearest habitation.
The recovery of bodies continues anu
they are buried as soon as they are
for identi1cation.

NEGRO WITH. AUTOMATIC GUN
BARRIcADED IN A HOUSE.
Fought Two Hours Duel With Toronto
Police Force.

Toronto, Ont, Feb. 14.-Armed with
an automatic revolver with which he
had just mureded two women of his
own race William Witfers, a. negro,
barricaded himself in q house near the
corner of Elliot street and Broadview
avenue today, and fought a. two hours
duel with q force of relicemen- He
nred the Iast shots just as the police
men entered the attic of the place
where he had retreated after receiving
upon the floor, still holding the reyolv-
er. The dead women are Mrs. Davis,
and her daughter-in-law. Mrs. Matilda
Washington, formerly Withers' wife.
Revolver shots were heard by per-
sons on the street, and Officer Morris,
who was SUNNI oned found the doors
locked. When he attempted to climb
through a window Witflers fired at him
and wounded him in the foot Rein
forcem ents were telephoned for and
the front door was battered down.
Withers withheld his fire until the door
fell, and the fusi1ade from the auto
matte was too much for the police
men and they retreated. Taking safe
positions around the house they kept
up a. fire. through the windows until
their ammunition was exhausted.
HVithers returned the fire whenever a
policeman showed himself.
The firing then ceased, and half an
hour later the officers entered the
house. They cautiously examined all
the rooms in the lower part of the
house without finding the negro. but
when the attic door was opened With
ers fired his last shot. The officers
dropped to the floor, and after firing a
volley again retreated to the lower
part of the house When they rushed
into the attic a few minutes later
murder of the two women is not
known

NEW HAVEN ROAD IN CONTROL
OF PITTSFIELD STREET LINE
Outcome of the Collision at Dalton on
February 9.

Pittsfie1d, MASS, Feb. 14-The pass
ing of control of the Pittsfield Street
Railway company to the New York,
New Haven & Hartford Railroad COM
pany was practically consummated at
a conference held in this city late to-
day, according to an unofficial an
nouncement. No official statement was
made at the close of the conference.
It was said that the Pittsfield COM
pany would be taken over by the New
England Investment and Securities
company, the trolley holding company
of the New Haven road, which also
controls the Berkshire company.
Tt is understood that today's negotia-
tions resulted directly from the trolley
car collision on the Pittsf1eld COM
pany's line in Dalton on February g.
when one person was killed and many
were injured This was followed by
the action of the PitGsfeld board of
aldermen in ordering the suspension
of operation of cars on the line where
the accident occurred and another
branch line, which order the company
ignored. Senator Crane was one of the
residents of this section who, after the
accident. severely condemned the
Pittsfield company for it's methods,
and called attention to the fact that
he had made previous complaints. The
hope of securing better and safer serv-
ice is believed to have led to todays
conference.

EXPLORER PEARY DENOUNCED
BY ARCTIC CLUB PRESIDENT.
Congress May Supply Fupds for the
South Pole Expedition.

Washington, Feb. 14.-Robert E.
Peary, discoverer of the north pole,
being decorated by a foreign scientific
society and vituperated by a fellow
explorer and countryman. Furthermore
it was announced that congress may
supply funds with which the American
who has been farthest north Will lead
an expedition into the Antarctic seas
to lay claim to territory discovered
nearly 100 years ago by another in
trepid American and over which no
flag has yet been flown
The Italian Geographical society is
the organization which has conferred
the decoration on Commander Peary.
Secretary Meyer, on whom the officer
called today, announced that if it was
decided to have Commander Peary
head the expedition which will lay
claim to the Wilkes Land on behalf OF
the United States, President Taft
probably will ask congress to iprovide
sufficient funds for the expedition.
The house committee on naval af-
fairs, a subcommittee of which voted
down the promotion resolution, has re-
ceived a number of letters, condemna-
tory and otherwise, on its action. One
was received today from Captain B. S.
Osbon. president of the Arctic club of
America, which is bitter in the ex-
treme. Captain Osbon, who champion
ed the cause of DR.. Cook in the recent
Peary-Cook controversy, did not mince
words in denOuncing Mr.. Peary and at
tically all the rules of decency and
good taste.
To have given Commander Peary the
rank and pay of a rear admiral, Cap
tain Osbon declared would have been
"a foul blot on the records of congress
and an insult to the navy of the Unit
ed States, and would have diSguSted
millions of our citizens.'
Another letter, from Portland, Me-.
the home of Mr.. Peary. written by an
executive officer in the naval reserve
of that state, says:
1T should be gratifying to all think
ing citizens that there is a, group of
men in Washington who, while ready
suitably and generously to recognize
the distinguished achievement of Mr..
Peary. refused to be actuated or influ-
enced by fanaticaI sentimentalisn.'
Another letter from Boston attacks
the committee for its course and says:
Your amazing statements about
Lieutenant Peary seem incorn prehen-
sib1e All nations are waiting on the
United States by courtesy before show
ering honors on Peary. Herschell was
knighted for finding Uranus. a thou
sand million miles further away from

Fall River, Mass. Feb. 1.-THE un-
rest among the 10000 cotton mill op-
eratives of Fall River may lead to the
abrogation of the sliding scale agree
ment which has been in force for three
years, or a decided modification of it's
terms in favor of the employees Three
of the unions represented in the tex

issue calls tomorrow for special meet

terms of the agreement, the unions
have until Monday, February 2S, to
give notice of a desire to withdraw
from the sliding scale arrangement.
Should the agreement be rescinded,
demand for an advance In wages will
be presented, it is expected. danufac-
turers say that the present condition
of business is far from satisfactory
but that they have kept the machin-

In the event of a movement to de-
clare a strike for higher wages, it is

CHARLES r. HEIKE
MUST STAND TRIAL.
American Sugar Refining Company
Secretary is Not Immune.

New York, Feb. 14.-Charles r.
Heike, secretary of the American
Sugar Refining company, the sugar
trust. is not immune. He must stand
trial, beginning March l, on -indict-
ments charging him with other en-
ployes of the company with conspiring
to defraud the government by under
weighing imports of sugar.
For weeks past counsel for Heike
have attempted to prove before a jury
in the United States circuit court that
Heike should not be prosecuted in view
of the testimony he gave before the
grand jury which returned the indict-
ments. But in this they failed, for
Judge Martin ruled today that in the
courts opinion the defendant was not
entitled TO immunity. Accordingly he
instructed the jury to bring in for
NAL verdict dismissing the plea inter
posed in the secretary's behalf.
In arguing for immunity, counsel for
Hefke admitted his guilt, but main
mony before the grand jury was bar
to prosecution. This led the govern
ment lawyers to the recent announce
ment that If the plea was not sus-
tanned the government would move for
immediate sentence on the ground OF
admission of guilt. No such action was
taken today, however. Heilxes law
yeds changed the plea to not guilty"
and time for trial was fixed
In ruling against Heike today Judge
Martin referred to the danger that
would follow If indiscriminate pleas at
bar were entered or allowed and the
opportunity rich men would have to
avoid the administration of Justice
