VICTIMS OF The SEA
g men ON BARGE Persisted
IN HUDSON RIVER.
Sailors and Marines Were Returning to
Battleship New Hampshire-Heavy
Swells From Passing steamer With
Rough Sea Causes Disaster-Many
Heroic Acts Noted.

New York, Oct. 3.-There was given
out from the battleship New Hampshire
a list of 20 men who were supposed to
have persisted by the swapping OF a
barge being towed to the vessel at an
chor in the Hudson river Saturday
night. Appended to this list are the
names of IL men who are still aDent,
but who were not recognized as having
been in the swamped boat.
Mother With Heroic Son.
The mother of Midshipman Chevalier,
who was in charge of the swamped boat
and who collapsed after saving II men
himself, has arrived in New York from
New Bedford, Mass, and spent most OF
the day with her son. He is still shaken
after the extreme mental and physical
strain.
R. Kart, one of the men supposed to
be drowned, is credited with having
saved four men. Kart was a big fellow
and a good swimmer. In the water he
held up two men until two life preserV-
ers came his way. He gave these to the
two and Their swan around and found
two other men who were exhausted and
sinking. These he held up until they
were picked up by a boat.
Still regardless Of his own safety, he
did not attempt to get aboard for fear
of overlooking it. Nobody seems to have
seen him afterward. The account of his
bravery was given by his shipmates.
When the accident occurred the tide
was running out like a mill race. 1t
probably will be several days before any
more bodies are found.
Various versions of how the accident
occurred were circulated. The generally
accepted one, however, was that the
barge, heavily loaded with sailors and
marines returning from shore leave, was
towed into the heavy swells of a pass
ing steamer. Rising for a moment like
a cork, the barge then plunged into the
trough between two waves, one of which
broke over the side and swamped it.
Instantly the choppy water became
dotted with struggling, shouting men
intermingled with floating packages
suitcases and personal belongings. The
whistle of the little steam launch that
was towing the barge rent the air will
sharp calls for assistance.
Few boats were in the vicinity, how
ever, for the river was running higl
in whitecaps, kicked up by the strong
wind. What few there were put quick
ly across the 200 yards that separated
the distressed craft and the shore. Man.
of the sailors and marines were pulled
aboard these boats; others held tightly
to the swamped boat. Still others, un
equal to the battle with the heavy tide
disappeared.

MADE ADDRESS
IN new YORK CITY TO LARGE
Audience SATURDAY.
Was Marked by an Unusually Con-
ciliatory Tone Toward Insurgent
Wing of Party-Gives All Factions
Share Of Credit-Defnes a PRO
gressive'-No Tariff Report Yet.

New York, Oct. 2.-President Taft
delivered what will probably be his
only public address of the present cam
paign at the banquet of the National
Republican league at the Hotel Astor
Saturday. His speech was marked by
an unusually conciliatory tone toward
the insurgent wing of the party. He
gave "all factions of the party" due
credit for their share in helping to put
through congress the legislative pro
gram which the president took occasion
to outline in some detail.
The record of the last IS months, he
declared, was an earnest desire of the
party to fulfill its platform promises
and obligations, and he promised that
if the republican majority in congress
should be continued at the coming
elections, the work thus far left un'
done would be carried through to com
p%letiOn.
