THEIR BOATS DEMOLISHED

NEW YORK, November Pillow two
boatloads of pirates were swept from
the ocean and their craft wrecked until
not a splinter could be found. when a
case of dynamite over which they were
fighting exploded, was told in a wireless
dispatch received late last night at the
Herald wireless station.
The message was from the Prinz Jo-
achim of the Hamburg American line,
now stranded off the Bahamas.
wreckers and divers were at work
about the Prinz, Joachim yesterday after.
noon, while off at distance lowered the
boats of the beach combers and lawless
characters that haunt the Bahama Is
lands.
Among the boxes tossed overheard was
one which contained huge quantity Of
the explosive.
Fight for the Prize.
The pirates in three boats all saw the
box at about the same time. They raced
for the prize, two boats reaching 1t al
most simultaneously. Over the edge of
their crafts two crews fought for the box.
Back and forth they swayed in their
struggle, which was watched by those on
the Prinz Joachim
Then there came a flash of flame and a
Duff of smoke that blotted out from the
view of the men on board the steamship
all sight of pirates and their craft. A
moment later there came over the wave
the boom of the explosion.
In the air above the cloud OF smoke
the men on board the stranded vessel
saw flying pieces of timbers, parts OF
bodies and all that q moment before had
gone to make up the two boatioads OF pi.
rates. Then the flying objects dropped
hack into the sea- the white cloud of
smoke drifted way and nothing was left
ON the surface of the water where the
two boats had been.
Complete Annihilation.
The pirates in the third boat had es-
caped deathA After the explosion they
were seen rowing madly for the shore,
and on reaching the land they raced into
the woods and disappeared.
From the Prinz Joachim a lifeboat was
lowered Immediately and a surgeon was
rowed to the spot where the explosion
had occurred. Except for a few splin-

Interview With Rockhill.

I'm view of the above statement and
the promises made by the President and
State Department on numerous occasions,
1T is interesting and important to know
what Ambassador Rockhill said to me
on the passport question.
During our first conversation. May -,
1911, at the American embassy in st.
Petersburg. he said:
:. The passport question Is not an
American question. Too much fuss is
made about the passport question. To be
frank it is bad policy to force this pass
port question on Russia. In time, Russia
will settle it herself.
Parsons and Bennett were wrong
when they said that Russia needs us
more than We need Russia. Parsons
said that our commercial interests here
are insignificant. He Is mistaken We
need Russia more than she needs us.
We who are SO clunsily struggling for
new markets everywhere. need Russia.
We have already great interests involved
mere. and still greater to come.
I'VE have the American Harvester
Company. the Singer Sewing Machine
Company, the Equitable Life Insurance
Company and other American concerns.
and now many new enterprises-we are
interested In improving the cotton fields
here and in building grain elevators. We
have the same interests as Russia has in
Japan. Russia is favorably inclined
also, for the reason that her credit Is
almost exhausted with France-that Is,
not exactly exhausted. but Russia does
not want to tie herself to the European
powers. She has credit and interests in
England and In Germany, but for the
future the interests of Russia are des-
tined to be with the United States.

Politically We need Russia, for our in
terests on the Pacific are the same as
those of Russia. The Panama canal will
make 1t necessary for us to be in closer
relations with Russia. with Siberia. So.
you see, we cannot force the passport
question. That will be settled In time by
Russia herself"
Did you meet Mr.. Hammond when
he was in st. Petersburg" I asked
oh, yes, replied Mr.. Rockhili. My
friend Mr.. Hammond has now two par
ties working here on the project of irri-
eating the transcaspian district for the
purpose of cultivating cotton there; also
q project of building grain elevators.
When these projects, in which he and the
government are interested, go through
il will mean a three-hundred- million dol
lar deal for American interests. We need
Russia also politically.
Personally added Mr.. Rockhiil. I
can't understand why the American Jews
are SO keen on the passport question. 1t
is not an important question. We need
Russia. Therefore 1t would not be wise
to press the matter just now.

HAMMoND's BIG INTERESTS

| NEW YORK. November .7.-Herman
| Bernstein. the author, has issued a state
| ment through the American Jewish COM
nittee in which he makes public for the
| first time he says. the interview he had
with United States Ambassador Rockhill
| at st. Petersburg. 1t was on this inter-
view, the statement says, that Jacob H.
| Schiff based his charges against AM
baSsador Rockhill and John Hays Ham
| mond during a recent speech on the pass
| port question.
Mr. Bernstein says:
about a week ego Mr.. Jacob ii. Schiff
| made statement to the effect that While
President Taft was promising delegation
after delegation that everything would be
done by the Department of State to settle
the passport question, Ambassador Rock
hill had declared that he considered the
matter of no great Importance.
Hammond After Concessions.
Mr.. Schff also stated that Mr.. John
Hays Hammond went to Russia for the
purpose Of securing certain concessions
and commercial contracts in Russia, and
that Wienkin, a Russian financial agent,
told Mr.. Schiff that Mr.. Hammond was
chosen as the head of the syndicate be-
cause he was friend of the President.
Mr.. Hammond was violent, though
not convincing. in his reply, and to prove
his case he published cablegram from
the Russian agent, Wilenkin, and letter
he CHammond) himself had sent to Will
enkin last April.
The charge that Mr.. Hammond SUBJ
mitted to Russia a proposition to irrigate
the TRANSCRIPTION region for the purpose
of growing cotton there and competing
with the United States remains un-
answered by Mr.. Hammond.
Last spring, when I was in St Peters
burg. I had several lengthy conversations
with Ambassador Rockhill, in which he
spoke to me frankly about the passport
question. and in which he showed not
only that he did not take the American
view of the question, but belttled it as
of no consequence. Mr.. Rockhill knew
that I was studying conditions in Russia,
that 1 was interested in the passport
question. and that l wanted to find out
what was actually being done in the mat
ter. Mr.. Rockhill knew that ! had dis
cussed the passport question with some
of the foremost men in Russia. such as
Count Witte, the former prime minister
of Russia; Prof. Maxine Kovalevsky,
member of the council of the empire;
Prof Milukoff, member of the duma; the
present Prime Minister Kokovtsoff and
others.

The ball went back and forth but nei-
Their side was able to carry it across
the line. Near the end of the quarter
the visitors carried the ball to- Earl

for downs. When time was called the
quarter ended with the ball just in

The defense of the Quakers was
hard nut for the visitors. Time after
time the locals broke through their

place KICKS. Inc strength OF the qua
kers defense was largely due to
Stanley, Murray and Guyer. The lar
ter had to leave the game on account
OF weak ankles. The fast work of
Reagan and Bogue was also puzzle TO

Of the Cincinnati university eleven put

he already does not possess the honor,
into the best half back in the state
this season was to be found. In the
last quarter of play, with Cincinnati
within shouting distance of the Earl
ham goal and with the ball in her po-
session, she tried a forward pass. Bo-
que intercepted the ball in its flight
and ran through the Cincinnati team
and ninety yards for a touch down.
His place kick also was a feature OF
the game.
Cincinnati does not possess the
strength this year which it did last.
At least it was not shown yesterday
and the concensus of opinion OF
large crowd of spectators was that
the visitors were outclassed in all de-
partments of the game. Last season
the Earlham eleven was defeated by {.

the game the Quakers were not any
too confident of holding the visitors
to low score, let alone a white-wash.

The second quarter started with a

In a pretty place kick, BOgue sent the
