SHIPS FOUNDER IN
WILD HURRICANE
ON EASTERN COAST.
Storm Grips Newfoundland
Waters, and Loss of Ship

TWO BIG STEAMERS MISSING

TWO BIG STEAMERS MISSING
ASSOCIATED Press1

BOSTON, Dec. 20.-Newfoundland is
reported in the grip of a hurricane
said to be the worst in many years.
The storm has been raging 4S hours
and shows no signs of cessation. Fears
are expressed that many shipping dis
asters will be recorded before the
storm blows itself out.
Tho Norwegian bark Petra, 119S tons,
Rio Janeiro for Halifax, is reported
total wreck at Penhant point, near
Cape Sabre. N. S. Her crew of six
teen men were saved with great diff
ficulty.
The schooner Preference of Windsor,
n. s., bound from EliZabethport, N. j..
for St. John, was abandoned in sink
ing condition off Georges bank, sun
day Capt. Gale and his crew were
rescued by fishermen. The Preference
was caught with several other coast
ers off Cape Cod last Thursday night
when the wind suddenly shifted off the
northward. The Preference was blown
off shore, had nearly all her sails car
ried away, both top masts cut off and
bowsprit broken. In addition she
sprang leak. All hands took turn
at the pumps for the next go hours,
the schooner drifting steadily off shore
without sighting a sail The fishing
schooner Fannie Bell Atwood of this
port hove in sight Sunday and the
fishermen took off the crew In dories.
Captain Gale said today there was lit
tie chance of the schooner keeping
afloat after her pumps stopped, as she
was deeply laden with coal.
Some anxiety is felt here over re-
ports concerning the safety of the
Woermann steamships Ingerbert and
Irma Woermann. The latter vessel
started from Las Palmas, Canary
islands, yesterday in the teeth of a
terrific gale to succor her sister ship,
which had been sighted 72 miles off
the coast displaying signals of dis
tress, and indicating that her engines
had been broken down.
Since then no word has come to Las
Palmas from either of the ships, and
they have not been sighted by incom-
ing vessels. 1t is believed they were
driven northward by the storm. The
German consul at Las Palmas is
aboard the Irma. Both of the steamers
ply between Hamburg, Rotterdam and
West African ports.

TITLED PAIR DENY
100000 SW|NDLE
Count and Countess de GaIigny
Involve Prominent People
in Their Defense

TOURS, France, Dec. 20.-The trial of
the self-styled Count and Countess de
Galigny, who are charged with having
swindled the Duchess de Choiseul out
Of 5000, 900 In the sale of spurious paint
ings. was begun before Judge Roberts
in the correctional court today.
The complainant was the widow of
Charles Hamilton Paine of Boston, and
recently married the Duke de Choiseul.
whose mother was Mary, daughter of
Malcolm Forbes of Boston.
A number of letters, which the de-
fendant claimed to have received from
the complainant, involved Alexandra
Tscherniedieff, who recently was ar
rested in London, charged with conspir-
acy to blackmail the duchess. Tscher-
niedieff was named as correspondent in
suit for divorce brought by the late
John W. Hunt.
BLAMES THE WOMAN
D'Aulby, or Galigny, was subjected
to a severe cross examination by the
Judge concerning his various titles and
an alleged newspaper campaign carried
on by him in America in connection
with the ownership Of old pictures. The
Judge also sought to ascertain under
what circumstances D'Aulby first met
his wife.
The defendant declared the object of
his life was to build up a reputation as
a musical composer. He said he was
the close friend Of Prince Philip OF
Bourbon, who wanted to adopt him.
He maintained that he had sold pic
lures, furniture and wine to Mrs. Paine
at her insistence, and had never guar
anteed the authenticity of the pictures.
She invaded his house, he added, and
eventually their relations became very
friendly.
They were broken off. however, for
personal reasons. D'Aulby was handt-
capped in his battle with the judge be-
cause of his feeble command of French.
The defense scored a point in Its at
tempt to prove that D'Aulby was a
reputable artist, pointing out that a
Paris newspaper gave musicale con-
sisting Of D'Aulby's works.
Neither the duke nor the duchess de
Choiseul was in court today, although
they are in the city.

LIFE SAVERS DIE IN
BATTLE WITH BIG WAVES
Two Men Drown When Boat Is
Upset by Surf

NEW YORK, Dec. 2o-Two members
of the volunteer life saving crew at
Rockaway Beach, l.. I.-Bruce Bond
and David Jamison-are missing and
are believed to have perished today
when the new boat they were trying
out with three other members of the
crew, upset in the surf. William Cas-
sidy was taken from the water eX-
hausted, while Fred Voltmer and Will
liam Philips made their way to shore.
Despite the heavy sea, the five men
insisted upon setting out to try the
new boat, an eighreen-foot six-oared
craft. They were 200 yards off the
beach when a heavy squall struck them
and the boat turned turtle. The water
was Icy cold and it is believed the
missing men were seized with cramps
and went down almost at once.

WASHINGTON, May 2S.--Oscar

JUNKMEN FALL in
FINANCIAL TRAP
High Bids Must Be Paid in
Spite of Ancient Traditions
Saying Otherwise

Bidding was high, very high. and the
air was electric with excitement yes
terday afternoon when the city's Junk
was auctioned in the corporation yard
at seventeenth and Harrison streets
For many years it has been the ira
dition that -sunkmen buy the city's
junk, bidding far beyond any reason
able selling price. The answer is easy.
twenty-five per cent deposit is re-
CURED and the rest Is paid according
to the Weighing receipts as the junk
is hauled away. The junkman hauIs
when he pleases, generally in the dead
of night, when no prying eyes may
see him weigh. When final reports are
turned in to the treasury there seems
to be something lacking.
q. c. Leff1ngweil. mayors secretary.
has spent some time investigating the
matter. Yesterday he smiled rs the
bids scared. Iron worth $3.50 per ton
was sold for $15.75- Brass worth 7
cents pound was sold for 1905 cents
a pound. Sacks worth ? cents apiece
were sold for 80 cents. Unaware of
the fact that they were affording Lef-
f1pgwelI considerable amusement the
junkmen bid on and paid their de-
posits, confident OF their bargain All
that is left is the hauling-and a little
surprise.
Lefangwell aud Secretary Mcdonald
of the fire commission have made some
private arrangements with the firemen
of engine No. 10, which overlooks the
junk piles in the corporation yard.
When the junkman comes, whether it
be day or night, he will be assisted by
a fireman. In fact the fireman will
obiigingly ride with him to the scales,
which are two blocks from the junk
If the night is dark the junkman will
not have to strain his eyes in reading
the scales The fireman will kindly
attend to such details. All that the
junkman will have to do will be to
sign his name to the weighing receipt
and pay.
Leff1ngwell has an idea that when
final reports are made to the treasury
under the new plan there will be a
difference, satisfying one.
