Immediately into the kitchen and the

When the frying was nearly com

Springfield, Mo-, Mar. 12.-Spring-

telegraphic and telephone communi-
cation again as result of sheet OF
snow which covers wires, trees and
everything in this section Of the state.
Not for three days, it is said, will COM

on the limbs of trees is between one
inch and one inch and half thick.
Young orchards in this section OF the
state have been greatly damaged.

TWO BIG LINERS
CRASH IN HARBOR
Passenger Steamer Outward Bound
Meets Freigeter.
BOTH VESSELS BADLY DAMAGED
City of Savannah Turns Back to Dry
Dock-Narrowly Missed Going
to Bottom-Passeneer
In a Panic.

New York, Mar. 13-Outward bound
with three score passengers and crew
aboard, the steamer City of Savannah
was crashed into late in the after
noon near the entrance to Ambrose
channel by the inbound Clye freigh'
ter Navahoe. Both ships had close
call from going to the bottom. They
limped into port an hour apart, each
with a jagged hole in her bow and
battered and dented, were wedged in.
to adjoining piers.
The collision was headon and ac-
cording to Capt. T. L. Dreyer OF the
City Of Savannah and his passengers,
the fault lay entirely with the man at
the helm Of the Navahoe Feeling
her way out to sea in the thick fog,
the City of Savannah was moving at
half speed into Ambrose channel, on
the East Side, when the Navahoe
doomed up two ship lengths ahead,
steering a diagonal course as If to
cut across the seaway. 1t was then
close to o'clock. Capt. Dreyer
sounded two blasts of his whistle to
indicate that he would continue In his
course and pass the Navahoe on the
starboard bow of the city of Savan-
nah.
Noise Like Artillery.
The impact sounded through the
fog like a discharge of artillery. Then
followed the shrieking of fog whistles,
the cries of passengers on the liner
and the believing commands Of the
officers on the two ships.
Engines were quickly reversed and
the two ships backed away, the Nava-
hoe showing Jagged wound In
her bow Is feet across, while the City
of Savannah steel bow was curved in
like cardboard and opened in ragged
cut for 20 feet
Fortunately both ships had been
hit above the water line. Both keeled
over from the force of the co4ision
shipping considerable water in the
movement. Panic was stayed among
the passengers on the City Of Savan-
nah by the prompt action Of her Of
flcers.
BIames Navahoe.
In reply to a question as to the
cause Of the collision, Capt. Dreyer
repeated that the Navahoe had disre-
garded his signal and run him down.
81 think it might have been avoided"
he said. The Clyde line captain
would make no statement.
OF the two ships the Navahoe
seemed to have sustained the great
est damage for in addition to the big
gap which was opened in her bow, her
port side was scraped and indented
almost to amidships. The City OF
Savannah, hawever, was so badly
damaged as to be out of commission
for two weeks at least. She will be
taken to dry. dock for repairs. The
City of Columbia will take her place
and sail with the passengers and car
go of the City of Savannah at 3
o'clock.
OF the 10 cabin and 30 steerage pas
sengers of the City of Savannah, only
half a dozen came ashore. The 9TH
ers remained on board and will be
transferred to the City of Columbia.

We fastened to the ground a little

the top Of 1t.
The Norwegian home at the South
pole was called "Polheim."
The distance from our winter quar-
tiers to the pole was about 1,40O kilo.

was Is kilometers.
We started on the return trip on
the 18th of December. Unusually
favorable weather made our way
home considerably easier than the
journey to the pole. We arrived at
our. winter quarters, "Framheim" on
the 25th Of January, 1912, with two
sledges and IL dogs, all well.
The daily average speed on the re-
turn trip was SO kilometers, the low

ling committee, Mr.. Stanley said
THE Severest critic Of Mr. Roose-
welt can hardly conceive that he could
in twenty minutes have commissioned
the steel corporation to crush It's last
COMPETITORS, and he possessed one
tenth of the information which the
commissioner of corporations was
afterwards forced by the investiga-
tions of this committee and the pres
sure of public opinion to publish TO
the world. AS suggested by the COM
missioner of corporations, the investi-
ygation of the harvester trust was
summarily stopped.
The assurances OF Mr.. Perkins that
the far reaching influences OF lhe
Morgan company, the harvester and
steel trusts were not to be sneezed at,
appears to have had great weight
with the chief executive.
"On this occasion" concluded Mr'
Stanley, the colonel assumed the
same relative position toward the
masters from Wall street that tho
Lord assumed toward the devil. The
