WRECKED ONTARIO FLoATED.
Steamer Will Be lowed to New
London for Reconstruction

According to reports, the Merchants and
Miners line steamer Ontario, which
caught fire at sea several weeks ago
while on her way to Boston, and was
beached at Montauk point. has been
floated by wreckers and is to be taken
into New London as soon as she can be
made ready to be lowed to that point.
Since the Ontario was beached heavy
weather prevented the wreckers from
working on the vessel. When fioated
last Monday the hull was badly dam
aged, and apparently the entire interior
will have to be reconstructed. A sur
vey of the vessel by underwriters will
determine when and where the rebuild
ing of the steamer will be made.
The hull of the schooner Maxwell.
which sunk in a collision with a steam
ship in Chesapeake bay about a month
ago, is lying where ii sunk, but. the New
York Wrecking Company. which has the
contract for raising the vessel. 1t is
stated, is now perfecting plans for bring
ing the hull to the surface and for taking
1t into port for repairs. Work on the
vessel will be started in few days.

STARVATION IN CHINA
REACHES ACUTE STAGE
Reports From Red Cross
Agents Show $500, 900 Is
Necessary in Its Work.

Reports from China. received by Ernest
P. Bicknell. national director Of the
American Red Cross, at the headquarters
in Washington, indicate the famine that
prevails has reached a most acute stage.
According to Director Bicknells advices,
the next six weeks will bring increased
! urgent need for relief measures, as the
starving people of China will be in a
deplorable plight until the new crops
ripen.
Mr.. Bicknell states the relief committee
in China at the present time has an
army of about 10000 men engaged in
relief work, their efforts saving probably
100000 persons from starvation and
death. Reliable and conservative reports
show that the famine sufferers number
at least 100000 individuals, many of
whom will starve to death unless the
relief measures are greatly extended
Charles w. Harvey of the Y. NJ c. A.
of Tientsin made recent journey
through the famine districts and at the
request Of United States Minister Cal
houn. at Picking, prepared report of his
observations. The character of this re-
port. which has been forwarded to the
State Department and is now in the
nanos OF Red Cross, may be indicated
by quoting briefly from its contents
No Grain or Meat.
NO children were seen at play. No
grain, meat, vegetables or foodstuffs of
any kind except the bark Of trees, dried
grass, wild garlic and roots were seen.
We found no sign of clothing anywhere,
except the rags on the backs of the peo-
pie. no bedding, few farming i'm
PIGMENTS, nothing that could possibly be
turned into money except an occasional
piece of furniture and the doors of the
houses or rafters in the matched roofs.
In many places we noted the absence of
doors in the homes and saw the mud
walls of houses stripped Of roots, which
We soon found had been used for fuel
or exchanged for food.
'On our first morning out of Ching
kiangpu We met man pushing wheel
barrow containing a low fiat basket in
which was hudded the starving forms of
his wife and child, and beside them a
few carried pieces of wood which he
hoped to exchange in the city for food
The American Red Cross has already
forwarded more than $4,000 to be used
in famine relief work in China, and Mr..
Bicknell declares that at least 100000
additional will be necessary if the work is
carried on until the new crops are avail
able to feed the sufferers.

DORSEY FOULTz STUNT
R|VALEDtBY M'NE|LL
CoIored Man Indicted Last
Week for Staying Wife
Disappears Completely.

Ernest MCNEIL, colored, who was in
dicted last week for the murder of his
wife February ., at their home on I'd
street southwest. has disappeared as COM
pletely as If the earth had swallowed him.
Not since the disappearance of Dorsey
Fouhz. slayer Of James Robinson, have
the police been SO completely baffied in
a case where the identity Of the slayer
as known as in the McNein case.
Dorsey Foultz was reported to have
killed his victim. He was pursued about
ported to have sought refuge in a sewer.
The police gave the sewer a thorough
search, but the elusive Dorsey was not
found.
Not the slightest clue to the where
abouts of McNeill has been obtained by
the police. He has not been seen at his
former home or at any other place where
he was known and the police are COM
pletely at sea so far as his whereabouts
is concerned.
Has Temperate Habits.
McNeilFs chances Of escape, the police
think. are better than those Of the av-
erage murderer. Many such persons.
they say, are addicted to drink, and they
seek comfort about drinking places,
sometimes confiding to new acquaintance
the reason for having left their homes
The fugitive now sought is not a victim
of strong drink, and the police are GER
tain he will not be found about drinking
places. Several thousand cards bearing
a likeness of him have been distributed
by the police, but only one response to
them has been obtained and that one
proved fruitless
1t is stated in the circular that the al
legged murderer is twenty-five years old
and very black. He is not more than
five feet six inches tall and weighs about
$50 pounds. His gold-capped or gold
filled front teeth are calculated to attract
attention. The police say he always pre-
sented a neat appearance. and that he
worked as laborer on railroads
McNeill was more prosperous than the
average laborer. the police say, and when
he went away he had a family bank ac-
count. 1t is said he is well known in
West Philadelphia, and that he has
friends in Charleston. W. Va. His home
was at Cameron, n. c.. and he has rela-
tives in several sections of that state A
reward Of s1OO has been offered for his
arrest.
