|ALl PASSENGERS
SAFELY LANDED
| FROM BIG Liner
But Princess Irene, Firmly
Embedded in the Sand,
May Not Be Floated for
Week Yet.

Hoboken, N. j., April S--All Of the
passengers from the big ocean liner
Princess Irene were safely landed at
the North German Lloyd pier early
today. They were brought up from
Fire Island on the Prinz Frederick
Wilhelm, which also brought along
their personal belongings. The passen-
gers were enthusiastic in praise OF
Captain Petersen and crew of the
Irene and they all said they had en-
joyed the experience of being strand
ed.
First cabin passengers sent mes
sages to the North German Lloyd line
praising the work Of the ships COM
pany.
Today, the ships position is grave.
She Is firmly imbedded in the sand
and the big wrecking officials who
have assumed charge of the work of
floating her, say that it may take
a week. Her cargo is being put in
shape to lightered.
Her water ballast tanks have all
been emptied. Captain Petersen, his
crew of $50 men and his subordinate
officers will stand by the vessel until
she Is floated or breaks up.
Captain Petersen has reported to the
North German Lloyd officials that he
had been sailing since Tuesday by
dead reckoning. When his ship took
the bottom, he said, he thought he
was about seven miles offshore 1t is
that prevail off Fire Island, forced
the stranded liner off her course.
The transfer of passengers from
| the Irene to the Wilhelm was COM
pleted shortly after o'clock, last
night, but it was midnight before the
| mel. The cabin passengers had hoped
| to be landed at once but 1t was
deemed best to anchor in the upper
| bay until daylight when the vessel
| came up to her pier. !
Almost all of the baggage on board
was examined by the customs in
spectors and there was no delay in
| landing the cabin passengers. Most
| of them hurried away at once, leaV-
| ing their heavy baggage to be claim
ed later in the day, customs reguia-
tions having been somewhat relaxed
on account Of the accident to the
| Irene.
Until early, today, the passengers
| remained in the saloon of the VIII
| helm making speeches and singing
joyously. "a wreck de luxe" was
given by Miss Helen Freeman, of st.
Louis, after landing.

All the passengers of the Princess
Irene were loud in their praise OF
| Captain Won Letten-Peterssen and
his men for the splendid discipline
maintained after the ship went on

| When the rescued passengers APP
peared for breakfast, today, aboard

surprised to find pictures of their
rescued being offered to them as

pictures had been taken by one OF

One of the spectacular features OF
the rescue was the removal Of the
children and babies up the big side

stood the ordeal bravely but there
were several who shrieked in terror

What Nebraska Editors Think
 Of Pres. Taft

The Nebraska State Journal, a Re
 publican newspaper published at Lin
 coin, Neb., is making a poll of the Re
 publican editors of the State on the Presidential outlook for 1912. The fol. lowing questions were submitted tc every Republican editor:
 1. Is it your judgment that Presi- dent Taft can carry Nebraska?
 2 Can he be elected?
 3. Do you believe a stronger man than Taft can be nominated by the Republicans next year?
 Tn it's issue of June 1s the state Journal prints the first batch of re- plies received. They follow:
 Fender, Neb., June 16-As between Taft and Wilson do not believe Taft could carry Nebra ska, nor do I believe he could be elected. He is probably as strong a candidate as the Republicans can name, taking the country over. because what La Toilette would gain over him in the West he would lose in the East. However, Taft is stronger today than he was a year ago and if he will use the next year to right ad- vantage could make himself a formid- able candidate. If he does not and the Democrats nominate Wilson he will get licked to frazzle. As be- tween Taft and Harmon the chances are about even.-C. s. Hughes, Editor Republic

 FROM BOSTON" MAKES FEM LAUGH
John Ince, As a Harvard Hero, Assisted By a Charming Chorus, Does Some New Work.

Really a cool weather show is Eff | ty Miles from Boston, a Conan suc-
 cess, which had it's two initial per- | formances, yesterday at Poli's The
 house was about the one cool place
 in Bridgeport. Whizzing fans kept the
 air moving and the players kept the
 interest moving, so that everybody
 had a good time. if it was in the
 midst of a heat wave. John Ince has a role to which he brings some of his best work. He takes the part of champion pitcher of a Harvard base ball team after a winning game. It is needless to say that when he gets back to the home town he is some hero. The play contains an excellent chorus and some strong musical num- bers. Larry Dowd sang between the acts, two acceptable songs.
 The play though built along the lines of a comic opera has a plot that is well put together and the heart interest never flags. John Junior is seen as Jed Woodis, the boy who em- bezzles $100 from the postoffice to bet against Harvard; Joseph Eggenton as Dave Harrigan, son of a wealthy grocer in the village; Tom Reynolds as Harrigan, made famous in song; Anne Hollinger as Sadie Woodis, the village postmistress and Freda Sle- 1 mons as Mrs. Tilford, the town gos- l sip.
