The tragic history OF the Peaked
Hill bars, near Highland Light, Mass.
received a substantial addition when
three coal barges were driven on the
dreaded sands at the Knuckle Of Cape
Cod. and seventeen lives were lost.
The barges were the Treverton,
Captain i. |. Brown. of Lncolnville,

from Philadelphia.
II was from the tug Lykens that the
barges broke adrift just as the dou-

lines snapped and few minutes later
the barges were in the breakers.
In the marine history OF Cape Cod
no large vessel has yet grounded on
Peaked Hill bars and escaped destruc-

up almost Immediately. and by day
light wreckage was coming ashore and

barges remaining. and that one, the

On the beach stood three life saving
crews, powerless to aid the men who
could be seen clinging to the wreck
of the Pine Forest. Stretching out for
500 yards was a seething mass of tum-
bling seas. in which even a lifeboat
could not have lived. while the dis
tance was too far for shot from the
life gun. The tug. which hovered in
the offing. was unable to run in close
for fear of grounding also.
The life savers patrolled the beach
and their watch was soon rewarded by
the discovery of two bodies tossing
about in the breakers. These were
hauled ashore. About each body was
strapped a life belt, on which was
stenciled the word "Treverton."

shore. launched their own lifeboat and
tumbled into 1t.
The second sea that hit the barge.
after the crew left her. swept around
her stern. and those on shore saw the
four men thrown into the surf. This
completed the fatalities of the day,
and the life savers hauled their appa-
ratus back to the houses. but contin.
ued their patrol for bodies.
The bodies from the three wrecks
came ashore quite rapidly after the
tide had turned, and at 9 p. m. twelve
bodies had been recovered and were
taken TO temporary morgue at Prov.

HAS ALBERT BILL A SLEEPER?

SECTIONS SEEM TO CONFLICT
One says Omaha g. Not Included,
while the other includes All

Has the Albert bill a sleeper in IL?
That's what Omaha city officials want to
know. and that Is the main reason why
a resolution was passed by the city coun-
Gil Tuesday night asking that a commit
tee be appointed to confer with like com
mittees from the Commercial club and the
Real Estate exchange.
The bill which provides for the grant
ing Of perpetual franchises to public
service corporations and placing the regu-
lation Of the same in the hands OF the
State Railway commission. seemingly con-
tradicts itself
Section 1 Of the proposed bill says that
the state Railway commission shall be
vested with power and jurisdiction under
the laws of this state with respect to the
subject matter of this act and shall have
power and authority to supervise, appraise
and value the physical property and estab-
fish and regulate the rates and service OF
public service corporations furnishing
heat, gas, electricity and power, sewerage
OF water for public OF private use in the
different municipalities. except cities OF
metropolitan class"
But section Is. in defining the word
municipality says IL means ali cities, in
corporated towns and villages.
Though the distinction is slight, the city
council, through the ordinance drafted in
the city attorneys office, wants TO know
il the two sections conflict.
