Washington, Oct. 22.--Relayed wire
less dispatches from the revenue cut
ter Seminole, fighting the fire aboard
the steamer Berkshire at Lookout
Cove n. C., reported the fire appar-
emily under control, early today, but
Captain Garden of the cutter did not
think it safe to leave the ship long
enough to take the landed passengers
from Cape Lookout life saving station
to Beaufort to continue their journey
by rail.
Captain Garden sent by wieless n
list of passengers rescued and landed
at the life saving station where they
passed last night
They include j. f. Spaulding, Au
gusta, Maine, and H. A Hunter, Meri-
den, Conn.
Early today. Captain Garden re-
ported the Seminole still was pour
ing water into the Berkshire's hold
through five streams and it was I'M
possible to tell how badly damaged
the ship or cargo would be.
The wireless advices indicated that
the passengers were taken off the
burning ship with little difficulty al
though a strong wind and a heavy
sea had been running.
Beaufort. y. C.. Oct. 22.-The steam
er Berkshire touched bottom in Look
old Cove. early today, in about three
and a half fathoms Of water. The rev.
is still pumping water into her hold.
The steamer Frederick. of the same
line, which left Savannah. Sunday.
for Philadelphia, arrived in Lookout
Cove. today, and may take the Berk-
shire's passengers from the Lookout
life saving station.
Late tonight, the revenue cutter Sem
inoe and the Frederick were still pump
ing water into the Berkshire's fore hold
and smoke was pouring from the burn
ing ships ventilators. The forward deck
load of the Berkshire has been transferr-
ed TO the Frederick II is probable that
all of the ships cargo will be damaged
before the fire finally is extingushed.
John Il. SpauIding of 46 Quimby
street. Augusta. has been for a num-
Der of years engaged in the real es-
tate business in this city and was for
several overseer of the poor. He was
also mentioned prominently as can
didate for state labor commissioner
when the law creating the new de
partmcnt went into effect in 1911.
Mr. Spaulding left Augusta, the last
of June, on business trip To Florldl
and other points South and was on his
WAY home on the Berkshire, His wife

WEST WILL TRY
TO REVIVE BILL
NORFOLK. PORTSMOUTH AND
SUFFOLK WATER BILL
PASSED BY SENATE.

Prepared yesterday to resume his
fight on the Lesner water bill unless
Suffolk was protected. Colonel J. y.
West marched over to the other side
and worked for the measure after
the Norfolk senator agreed to an
amendment putting Suffolk on the
same basis as Portsmouth. Opposi-
ton which at first came from Ports
mouth and Suffolk was found in an
other quarter yesterday. The piii
passed by a good majority.
A sigh of relief escaped from many
breasts when the final vote was taken.
Hart. OF Roanoke, was not OF the
number. He was against the bill,
because an amendment was adopted
allowing cities Of more than 10000
to condemn water supplies. This
brought Roanoke under the bill. all
though the provision was added to
protect Portsmouth.
The Walker amendment opening
the gates and allowing all munich
palities. regardless OF population, 10
down. Lesner declared Ii the amend
ment were adopted II would kill the
bill.
BY far the strongest opposition
came from Hart. He declared 1t was
wrong to drag" Roanoke in the deal
Just to apply a remedy 10 conditions
In Portsmouth. The bill. he thought,
should 60 through as 1t was drawn,
permitting only towns of more than
$4,000 to condemn supplies This,
he said, would affect only Richmond
and Norfolk and would meet no OBJ
lection upon the part of other cities.
Mr.. Montague said 1t was regret
table that Roanoke was touched in
the measure, but that it could not
be helped. He said Portsmouth was
different from any city In the State
and that Roanoke had no Norfolk.
Portsmouth. he declared. TO be the
under dog.
Walker and Mapp said the prin-
ciple OF local legislation was all wrong
and that the bars should be thrown
down. Mapp declared he was not In
terested in the three-cornered fight
OF Norfolk. Portsmouth and Suffolk
and believed the best thing to do
would be to allow all cities to con-
denim supplies n they wished.
The vote against the bin on the
final roll call was small.
After the bill had finally passed
Lesner declared II was one OF the
hardest fights he had ever experienced
In putting through local legislation.
For two days he was one OF the
busiest men in the Senate rounding
up votes.
