LINER. FARRACUT
SINKS THE MERIDA
Steamships in Collision OFT
Cape Charles, Va.
PROMPT WORK SAVES ALL
Wireless Call Brings Warship and
Other Craft to Aid Liner Just Be-
fore She Goes Down In Deep Water.

Philadelphia, May 13.-The United
Fruit company's steamship Admiral
Farragut, which left this port for Port
Antonio, Jamaica, and the Ward line
steamship Merida, from Havana for
New York, collided off the Cape
Charles lightship. The Merida was
sunk and the Farragut badly dam
aged, but as far as known no loss OF
life occurred.
The Merida's passengers and crew
were transferred to the Admiral Far
ragut.
Water poured through the gaping
wound in the Merida's side, and five
hours after the collision the steam
ship settled beneath the waves, sink
ing in thirty-four fathoms of water.
Some doubt exists as to how seri-
ously the Admiral Farragut was DAM
aged Shortly after the Merida's pas
sengers were transhipped the Old Do
minion line steamship Hamilton came
alongside of the. Admiral Farragut,
and the Merida's survivors were again
transhipped, this time to the Hamil-
ton, which then started for Norfolk to
land them.
A wireless message received at Fire
Island from Captain Nader, of the Ad-
miral Farragut, reads as follows:
Farragut Making For Port.

The shock of the collision brought
the passengers of both steamships to
the decks. The transfer of passengers
to the Admiral Farragut was effected
in lifeboats.
The Merida's passengers lost all OF
their baggage and many reached the
Farragut only partially dressed.
Wireless distress signals were fash
ed in every direction and the United
States battleship Iowa hurried to the
Nerida's assistance. Officers of the
Merida went among the passengers
and assured them that there was no
danger
Passengers Watch Her Sink.
As the night wore on it became ap-
parent that the Merida was sinking.
Dawn revealed her as settling rapidly,
her decks awash and her hull well
nigh submerged, her stern lifted far
above the water, gaping holes torn in
her waist
Crowding the decks of the Admiral
Earragut, the passengers of the i'll
fated vessel watched the Merida sink
ing. Nearly all:of them were but part
" clothed, all of their effects being
on the abandoned ship.
At daylight the Merida sank. By
that time the Hamilton was in sight,
rapidly bearing down on the Admiral
FArragut. Her lines were made fast
and the work of transshipping the
wrecked passengers was again under
taken, this time with less danger of
accident, since the boats were lying
side by side.
The sea was calm. Long, rolling
swells caused but slight uneasiness
among the passengers, and the trans
fer was soon effected
The Hamilton then cast off, proceed
ing on her way to Norfolk, the port

ANew Edition of Vanished Arizona.

NEW VI WaUtSVCQ Nt'GSH0s
 In these days of brass band enterprise in promoting the sales of books, it is unusual to hear of a book that succeeds andquietly gets tout of print" within a twelfth month of the time it was issued, without advertising or publicity to aid in any way.
 But when that book refers to Arizona, it is something to cause every resident of the State to sit up and take some notice.
 Two years ago Mrs. Martha Summerhayes, who had spent several years with the U. s. troops in Arizona and the West decided to write a book telling of her life as the wife of an army officer. Which she did.
 When the book was out she had some little slips printed, and sent them to her friends and old ac- quaintances in the army: besides she sent copies to a few news papers to review. The title Of 1t was "Vanished Arizona"
 After 100 copies were sold in this way, there followed long days when only an occasional order came in; but gradually as time passed on she began to receive orders for the book from strangers and then came letters from presi dents of railroads whose lines ran through the country she had traversed in the army ''ambulance," ," and from bankers and politicians and business men came photo graphs showing shady roads and streets, where once all was glare and a sandy waste: Letters from mining men who knew every foot of the roads she had gone over: and letters of heart felt thanks from enlisteed men and officers iU the army. These letters told of the wonderful contrast presented by her story to the Arizona of to. day besides there came other let ters from strangers lu the East, among them college professors, who explained how they read every word of the book before they laid it down, and what a joy and pleasure it was A letter from Wm. Lyon Phelphs, Professor of English Literature at Yale, said; "I have read eveay word of your book Vanished Arizona with in tense interest. Nobody can resist the truthfulness and reality of your narrative. The book is real contribution to American history"
 And, lol the edition of 1000 copies was soon gone, and she had to begin writing letters to explain that it was out of print. Finally with over a hundred letters ac- eumulated asking for the book, 1t was decided to print a new edition.
 The new book is out with 8 total of twenty-five invaluable photo graphs of scenes in the Arizona of thirty-fve years ago, and some new chapters and additions.
 Published by the Salem Press Co.,, Salem, Mass. It can be ord cred through local booksellers, or it will be sent direct from the pub fishers by mail in time for Christ mas, for $1 60 postpaid.

Satisfied With Present Methods

Our neighbor down the street. last week expressed disappoint-
nent because the Republican contained an editorial pointing out a
possible menace to western states consequent to the direct election of
senators. Nothing strange about that. We expect the demo-
cratic organs to be disappointed. The democratic party and their
representatives have been disappointed 80 much the past decade or
two that it is really a habit.
On the other hand the republicans are optomists. We are not
disappointed with u present system of oecing senators. If we
annst elect Legislators who can be trusted to elect our senators it is
hardly possible that W could elect senators direct with any more
nance off being satisfied. Wyoming is ably represented in the sen
tie and occupies a position in national affairs that is the envy of half
he older states-Basin Republican

Must Alter Their Constitutions

The Sun is pleased to note that Congress has amended the state
constitutions of both New Mexico and Arizona, which amendments
will be submitted to a vote of those territories at the next general
election. The most important amendment applies to the constitu-
ton of Arizona, which is to the effect that the recall provision of the
constitution of elective officers shall be voted on only after 25 per
cent of the voters have signed such petition and that such provision
shall not apply to judges of courts. This is certainly a wise amend
ment, The Sun has no faith in these new-fanged provisions, such
IS the election of senators by direct vote of the people, the Primary
Election law, the Initiative and Referendum and the Recall. They
may be all right, but 1t seems to us that they are all the outgrowth of
"A diseased condition of brain, like popuGsm, greenbackism and the
