BURNING VESSEL
SANK IN HARBOR
Water Poured into Hold to
Quench Fire Cause
of Sinking.

Baltimore, Nd, Sept. 3.-Fire was
discovered late yesterday in the low
er forward hold Of the steamer Nam
tucket OF the Merchants and Miners
Transportation company as she was
discharging freight at a railroad pier
at Locust Point. The water that was
poured into her by the fire fighters
caused her cargo to list and she turn
ed over and sank to the bottom of
the harbor. Two sailors are missing,

by smoke in an effort to save some
of their effects and lost their lives.
They are Joseph Wroton Of Norfolk,
Va, and Harry Wharton, supposedly
Of Boston.
The damage to the vessel is esti-
mated at $4,000.
Several firemen. including Chief
Emerich, were on the boat as she
went over, but they climbed to places

She was then taken to Locust Point
to discharge the remainder Of her
cargo for out of town points. 1t was
when the forward matches were lifted
to get at this portion of the freight
that the fire was found.
Tho Nantucket was built at Will
mington, Del. in 1899. She has a
gross tonnage Of $3.50 tons and a net
tonnage Of 1,767 tons. She is 274
feet in length with a 42-foot beam,

leaders were confident of polling the
full party strength for Harlan Howe.
The followers Of the prohibition and
socialist parties looked for the Gus
tomary vote for their ticket leaders,
Clement F. Smith for the former. and
Fred w. Suiter for the socialists.
Many politicians pointed out today
that while the total registration in
the state at each election in the last
it was seldom that fifty-five or sixty
per cent of those enrolled to vote
have gone to the polls. No political
apathy is expected today. but to guard
against 1t nearly every voting place
was well equipped with cabs and
cars to bring the aged and inflrm to
the polls. The regular Australian
voting system obtains in Vermont. SO
the chances for repeating are said to
be minimized. for nearly all the bal

senate: and the testimony against him
is direct. Apparently. however. the
committee is investigating not this
charge against Mr.. Penrose, which was
sustained by direct evidence. but Mr..
Penroses countercharge which was
sustained by no evidence at all and
only by the repetition Of secondhand
gossip.
"As regards the statement of Mr..
Penrose and Mr.. Archbold that with
my consent or knowledge Mr.. Bliss
asked the Standard OIL people for
100000. or other sum. or received
such sum from them, 1t is an unquai-
