FEAR MANY LOST

STEAMSHIP At SEA
Wireless Tells of Only Sixteen
Saved from West Point
by DevOnian.
HAD BIG PASSENGER LIST, q
NUMBERING MANY WOMEN
Young Women School Teachers
Returning from European
Tour Were Aboard.

BOSTON, Sept 3.-Sixteen members
of the crew of the British steamer
West Point have been rescued at sea
by the steamer Devonian, due here
from Liverpool on Monday. The West
Point which was bound from Glasgow
for Charleston, S. c., caught fire at
sea and afterwards foundered. The
news of the loss of the West Point and
the rescue of her crew was received
here by wireless.
The message received by the White
Star line office from Captain Trant of
the Devonian did not give any par
ticulars of the rescue. Neither time
nor position was mentioned. 1t is not
known whether all of the crew of the
West Point were saved, nor whether
they were taken from the burning
steamer or from the ships lifeboats.
The West Point, Captain Pinkham in
command, sailed from Glasgow for
Charleston on August Is.
The West Point registered 4,S12 tons
gross and 3,074 net She was built at
Newcastle-on-Tyne in 1899, was 376
feet long, so feet beam and 27 feet
depth of hold. She hailed from Liver
pool, her owners being the Norfolk and
North American Shipping Company.
Limited, of that city.
Fear Many Lives Were Lost.
1t is known that the sixteen men
rescued from the West Point were not
all of the steamers complement of Of
flcers and men. A steamer of the size
of the West Point generally carries
from thirty to forty officers and men.
The Devonian, with the rescued men
on board, although due to arrive on
Monday, is not expected by the Off
GERS of the Leyland line, to whose fleet
she belongs, to make port before Tues
day morning. The Devonian was some
what delayed in leaving Liverpool, and
there will be further delay as a result
of the halting in midocean to render
assistance to the survivors of the West

WILL NOT TALK ABOUT
DR.. SPITZER'S RESIGNATION.
City Hospital Superintendent
Silent, Regardless of Rum0rs.

The resignation of DIR. Henry Spitzer
from the house staff of internes at the
City Hospital has given rise to all sorts
of stories to the effect that his reports
of blood cultures of patients were made
hurriedly and carelessly. His resigna-
ton has not been acted on by the
Board of Health.
"Dr. Spitzer came to me last Tues
day." said Superintendent Talbot, land
said that he was going to quit. 1 noti-
fled the hospital committee of the
Board of Health and that committee
will act on the resignation when it
meets.
IT cannot say that DIR. Splitter delib-
erately falsifed reports of blood cul-
lures. He may have been careless in
taking pulsations of patients. All that
he can be charged with is carelessness,
and l do not care to even make that
charge. All that 1 know is that he has
resigned"

sCR0FULA


Scrofula is a disease manifested
usually by swelling and liberation
OF the glands, especially about the
neck. It is almost entirely hereditary
in its origin, being the dregs or re-
mains of some specific blood poison.
Where the blood is greatly weakened
with the scrolulous poison, the disease
attacks other portions OF the system
besides the glands, and then we see its
effects IN weak eyes. poorly developed
bodies, running sores and ulcers, skin
diseases. especially OIL the scalp, ca
arrhal troubles, etc. Scrnfula usually
makes its appearance in childhood,

AWAITS DEATH sToIcALLY.
Henry Hardin Will Be Hanged Next
 Friday at Wynne.

Wynne.-While workmen are erect ing a scaffold upon which Henry liar din is to be hanged at the county farm three miles south of here on May 6, the condemned prisoner is in jail at Forrest City, to all appear ances indifferent to his fate. Owing to the prominence of Hardin and his victim. the coming execution has aroused the widest interest through out this section of the state. It is likely that the largest crowd that ever witnessed a legal hanging in Arkansas will gaze at Hardin when he goes to his death. Hardin's friends are making heroic efforts to save him from felon's death and have not vet given up hope that Governor Donaghey will commute the sentence to life Imprisonment. One of their strongest arguments is that the man whom Hardin slew-J. T. Patterson was q ss9ong opponent of capital r,'~ iehment and had made a speech before the legislature advocating its abolition in this state.
