The Rescue Story

Havre, Oct 14.-La Touraine Of the
French line, second of the rescue
ships which figured in the volturno
disaster to reach port, arrived at
Havre this morning. la Fouraine had
AZ survivors on board
On the forward deck Of La Touraine
when she arrived at the quay was
a group Of eight children from to
70 years old who had been rescued
from the volturno and whose parents
either had perished Or were aboard
other rescuing steamers.
First Lieutenant Izenic Of La Tour
aine told Of the work Of rescue.
eIt was half past 5 o'clock on Thurs
day morning, he said, when we re
ceived the first wireless message that
the Voluturno was burning. At that
time we were 200 miles away.
I'VE reached the Volturno at 3
O'Clock in the evening and found 10
other steamers already on the scene,
Heavy smoke was streaming away
from the forward hatches Of the Vol
turno. whose passengers had assem-
bled in the after part Of the ship. The
women and children had been placed
farthest from the fire, while the men
formed a line nearest to the point Of
danger"
What followed after tiie arrival oi
La Touraine in the viclility Of the
Volturno is related in a detailed re-
port sent by Captain CaussiA to the
French Transatlantic company ne
says;
~The forward part Of the Voltnrno
looked to me like an incandescent bra
zier. AS the sea was beginning to
moderate, I thought OF putting out
boats, but the opinion Of all my offi-
GERS was against the lowering Of life

amidships she was nothing but a

offeers Were Brave Men

Liverpool, Oct. According tc
Captain Trant Of the Devonian there
was some attempt on the part Of the
male passengers Of the Volturno to
rush to the rescuing boats when they
reached the vessers side, and the cap
tain and officers Of the Volturno did
good work in keeping them under
control.
When the Devonian departed from
the scene Captain Trant says the fire
on the yoIturno was making progress
toward the after part Of the vessel.
Captain Trant says the pitffu1 screams
for help uttered by the passengers
OF the voIturno made ethe night hide
ous' to the would-be rescuers, who
were unable to reach them.
The first survivor to reach the De-
vonian was man who had jumped the
to the boiling sea and had managed
to get near the liner. He was taken
out Of the water unconscious. AS
soon as it was possible for the Deyo-
nian to launch boats and proceed to-
the volturno, the women and children
were removed first. They we're
swung along in coal baskets and low
cred to the boats.

VERDICT IN SULlER
TRIAL Is DELAYED
PROSECUTION ATTEMPTS TO
HAVE IMPEACHMENT AR.
TiCLEs AMENDED

Albany, N. T., Oct. l4-A motion
to amend Article 4 OF the impeach-
ment charges against Governor sui
zer so as to include the testimony Of
Ambassador Henry Morgenthau and
Superintendent Of Public works Dun
can W. Peck, was presented by the
impeachment managers at the reopen
ing of the trial Of the governor today.
No action was suggested in regard to
the testimony Of Allan A. Ryan.
It was explained tlf the evidence
winch he gave only couldf be consid-
cred as corroborative Of other testi-
mony IN the impeachment articles i'm.
less a new article should be added.
This would have to be done by the
assembly.
The proposed amendment sets forth
that William Sulzer "wrongfully and
wilfully attempted to incite and pro
cure Louis A. Sarecky, Frederick L.
Colwell, Melville D. Fuller, Duncan
w. Peck and Henry Morgenthau to
commit perjury and to give false tes
timony' before the F'rawley investi
eating commission.
Article 4 as it now stands does not
mention either Peck or Morgenthau
and merely sets forth that Sulzer
practiced deceit and fraud and used
threats and menaces with intent tc
prevent said committee from procur
ing the attendance and testimony" ol
Sareeky, Colwell and Fuller.
The proposed amendment was pre-
sented by Attorney John B. stanch
field, who argued for an hour thai
the court had right to so amend the
article. Judge D. Cady Kerrick, fol
/ the defense, opposed this argument
at the afternoon session.
There seemed little possibility, Il
was said, that the assembly would
attempt to bring a new charge cover
ing the Ryan testimony at this late
date This testimony was that Gov
fernor SuIzer had sought to obtain the
/ influence OF Charles F. Murphy an6
William Barnes to stop the trial Ac
cordfng to the attorneys for the i'm
parchment managers, this constitutes
4tampering with the court" and coulC
not be fitted into ArtiCie q or any

that the governor is unit to hold Of
