ICE FLOE CRUSHES
BIG LAKE STEAMER
Passengers and Crew Forced
to Abandon Ship and
Walk Across Ice.
(National News Association)


CHICAGO, March 11.-A woman and
two men passengers ON the steamer
Flora NJ. Hill, and a crew of thirty men
left the vessel today when crushed by
ice, it began to sink. The refugees en-
deavored to make their way over five
miles of ice to the mainland. The
Flora NJ. Hill has been ice bound for
a week. Lifesavers and the steamer
Indiana put out in an effort to render
assistance to the refugees.
The Flora NJ. Hill was caught in an
icefloe when it attempted to cross the
lake. Great masses of ice have pre-
vented lake traffic for weeks. Recently
the floes have broken up as the ice,
driven before the wind, has been
piled Is to 20 feet above the surface of
the water. The Flora NJ. Hill was
wedged firmly in the ice, but appar-
emily sustained no damage until today
when the shifting wind carried the
ice against the side of the vessel and
ground a hole in her hull. The water
rushed in SO rapidly that the pumps
were unable to keep her afloat.

the scene Of something new In the line
of court procedure today, when the
question OF whether persons who had
been once tried and acquitted should
be tried . second time was left for .
jury to decide. The case was that Of
Isaac Harris and Max Blanck, owners
OF the Triangle Waist company, In
whose establishment 147 working girls
lost their lives In fire q year ago.
Recently, Harris and Blanck were
tried and acquitted Of charge of man
slaughter in the first and second de-
grees. The District Attorney waa dis
satisfied with the verdict and asked
the Court to set ! date for = second
trial. Counsel for the defense opposed
the motion on the ground that the
question of second Jeopardy w1s rails
ed. To this the District Attorney re-
piled that there were several indict-
ments remaining asainst the two men,
and that different persons were named
In each indictment. A special jury to-
day listened to the arguments Of c0un-
sci on both sides and will later rend-
er its decision in the question of ..

suffering from hallucinaticns, left this

tive.
A Pitiful Scene.
A pitiful scene was enacted when
the mother first caught sight of her
son in his cell at the insane ward at
the Jail. Bush and his mother, who had
not seen each other for more than four
years, were almost overcome with en-
otion. Bush fell to the floor of his cell
when he saw his aged mother enter
the ward. 1t was necessary for sheriff
to assist Bush to the bench in the cell,
he was so overcome. Tears coursed
down the cheeks Of both as they were
locked in each others embrace Mrs.
Bush until recently had thought her
son dead.
Bush seemed perfectly normal while
his. mother and. brother we're at the
Jail. He told them thRt he had been In
that at times he did not know what
he was doing. He said that since that
time he did not known whether his
name was Bush" or "Callihan." He
gave tho latter name when first placed
in Jail, after being brought to this city
from Eaton, where he jumped from a
moving train.
He conversed with his relatives tell
ing them of what he had been doing
for the past two years. When asked
why he had attempted to end his life
on four different occasions since be.
ing confined at the institution he said
that he did not know what he was do
ing
Saturday night Bush tore strips
from the mattress upon which he
slept, presumably with the idea of at
tempting to hang himself, but he did
not succeed in making a moose. When
asked by Sheriff Steen how he tore
the strips, Bush said that he did so
with his teeth, saying he was too weak
to tear the mattress with his hands.
While Bush's relatives were at the
Jail yesterday the sheriff found a piece
of crumpled paper in a corner of the
cell. 1t read They have cut my throat
and thrown me into a sewer. They

han and Joe Bush"
Bush's case is one of the most pecu.
liar with which local authorities have
had to deal Since his daring jump
from the fast moving Pennsylvania
train at Eaton last Tuesday evening,
when he was literally scalped. Bush
has made four or five attempts to end
his life. At times he seemed perfectly
sane while at other times he has been
an almost unmanageable lunatic.

TAFT ENRoUTE EAST.


P1TTSBURG, March 11.-While
speeding back to Washington Presi-
dent Taft today expressed great salts
faction over the result of his invasion
of Ohio and Illinois, two states in
which the Progressive sentiment is
very strong. He also was pleased by
dispatches which came from Washing
ton concerning the national outlook.
and stating that Taft sentiment was
gaining generally. The president re-
CARDS as especially encouraging a mes
sage stating that the Union League
club of Philadelphia has refused to
support a protest against indorsing his
denomination. He expressed his graft
fication at the action of the club, all
but fourteen of whose members, signed
the resolution supporting his candf-
dacy. OF the trip West, Mr.. Taft said:
THE reception accorded me by the
people of Toledo and Chicago puts me
under a deep sense of obligation to
them. The discussion of questions OF
government brough forth many sympa-
thetic assurances and the American
citizens of foreign birth or descent, OF
which some of the great audiences
were made up, were especially inter-
ested and concerned in the outline OF
constitutional problems.
"The spirit of optimism in faith in
our institutions Is as strongly in evi-
dence today as in any time In the his
tory of our country"
