October for New York According

Helpless for Hours
The rescue ships reached the sceen
of the disaster in plenty of time to
save all, but for hours stood by the
blazing vessel, impotent because of
the storm to reach the agonized men,
women and children crowding the at
terpart of the ship and within a
stones throw.
All night Thursday the life boats
made a desperate effort to get along
side the Volturno, but the waves beat
them back again and again, and not
Friday did the rescuers succeed in re-
moving the survivors from the doomed
ship.
Liners Race to Rescue.
The steamer Carmania, bound from
New York for Liverpool, was seventy
eight miles away when the call for
help sounded. Captain Barr, ordering
full steam, in spite of the gale, drove
through the seas at twenty knots an
hour and was first of the fleet to reach
the burning vessel. She was followed
by the La Touraine, Minneapolis, RAPE
pahannock, Car, Narragansett, De-
vonian, Kroonland, Grosser kurfurest
and Seydlitz at various hours through
out the day. But try as they might.
the rescuing vessels could get neither
line nor lifeboat to the Volturno, the
forward part of which was almost
hidden by a dense cloud of smoke
when the Carmania arriced.
The latest accounts of the disaster
to the steamship Volturno, burned and
abandoned in midocean, confirm that
the loss of life will be limited to
about 1876. The Carmania, first of the
rescuing ships to reach the burning
steamer, arrived off Queenstown, but
owing to the gale proceeded to Fish
guard
A graphic story by the solitary
survivor aboard the Carmania was
received by wireless and presents
a terrible picture of the horror, the
panic and confusion aboard the burn
ing liner. Walter Trintepohl, a Ger
man, who tells the story, however, is
clearly suffering from the stress of
illness and awful experiences and his
story is too incoherent to be accepted
in every detail.
Crew Panic Stricken.
The crew of the Volturno. mostly
Delgians and Germans, stampeded to
put into effect the primitive law of
the survival of the attest when that
liner, burning in midocean, became
doomed late last Thursday night.

AGAINST
HANDBOOKING
BADLY NEEDED
BY Percy II. Whiting.

THE attention Of the men who
have gathered for the purpose
of making new laws for Geor-
gia is called to the fact that this
State needs a law against gambling.
Yes. it has one, but it is not ade-
quate to prevent handbook gambling.
Under the present law, so we are
informed by attorneys of great prom
inence, a man could parade up and
down Peaehtree Street offering bets
on ,aseoaI games and horse races,
and not be liable TO arrest.
So long as he had no fixed place
Of business and could not be arrest
ed for conducting a gambling house
he is immune.
HIS is a wretched state of affairs.
Handbook gambling ought to be
prohibited by law. 1t leads to more
serious gambling, it gets boys and
young men. started in the wrong way,
1t results in petty thievery, wasted
money 1t lines the purses of the
gambling gentry. often at the expense
of mothers and children who would
have had the benefit of the money
except for a foolish flyer on a ball
game or a horse race.
THE worst lecture of the handbook
gambling, perhaps, is its wretch
ed influence on the sports themselves.
OF course racing isn't worth saw
ing.
No sports that exists for gambling
alone is.
But baseball is. That is the great
national sport, and thus far it has
been kept practically above sus-
picion.
II gambling on the games contin-
ues long it will not escape suspicion
and 1t will doubtless deserve sus-
picion and worse.
If only to save the greatest of
American sports handbook gambling
should be stopped.
TT is not presumed that a mere law
will prevent betting. But it will
at least drive 1t to cover and yank
off the mask Of respectability. If
it isn't against the law to run a
handbook why shouldn't anybody do
it? That is what lot of them ask.
And 1t is a hard question to answer.
If a measure to prevent handbook
gambling could be put before the
Legislature it would go through fly
ing.
There isn't a man who would vote
against it. They would all realize
that such a law ought to be on the
books
But will anybody bring such a law
before them and see that it comes
to a vote?
It would do more good for the
State of Georgia than many a law
, that will be passed.

slump. Even the best of them
slump, Cleveland has kept the
Athletics within hailing distance
while crusading through the
East, which was good deal of
a trick considering the speed at
which the Athletics were NOV
ing. That about sums up the sit
uation in the two leagues.
THE Giants case at this time per-
L haps deserves a little consider
alton. The club had a wonderful
road trip through the West gaining
on the Phillies and winning twelve
games and losing only four.
The silver lining in the showing of
the Giants on the road during this
last trip can be found by a glance at
the schedule The New York club
winds up its season with a swing
through the West this year, and, if
the final dispute comes down to a
battle between the Giants and Phil

GEORGIA WOMEN
PROTECT BIRDS
OPPOSE AMENDMENT TO BILL
AFFECTING FEATHERED
TRIBES.

There is one section of the tariff
bill now pending before the senate
that has aroused deep interest among
women. That is the one which would
prohibit the Importation of aigrettes,
ai8ret plumes or osprey" plumes,
and the feathers or any parts of the
skins of wild birds, for any other than
scientific or educational purposes,
with the exception of feathers and
plumes of ostriches or the feathers
OF domestic fowls.
AS originally drawn the section
seems to have the approval of the
women of America. and that real in
terest is felt is evidenced by the op-
position TO an amendment proposed
by Senator lClapp, of Minnesota,
which would allow the importation
jf feathers and piumes of game
birds usually killed for food purpos-
es and birds which are killed as
pests, in addition to the plumes of
ostriches and domestic fowls. Some
Of the women OF Georgia, one of
""Ohi 70 Nhioo ANihd ilOI llduy, Vi Al

support of the original measure and
against the amendment proposed by
Senator Clapp. 1t is claimed that
if the amendment were adopted it
would mean the determination of
many of the beautiful wild birds.
The senators will be asked to favor
the original measure and every effort
will be made to save the birds.
