For Crew Of Schr. City Of
Georgetown, Bath, Me.
Struck by Steamer Prinz Oscar
Beyond Delaware BreakWaier.
Large Hole In Steamers Bow.-Schr
Sank Immediately --crew Safe.

Philadelphia, Feb 1.-The Hamburg
American liner PrinZ Oscar. which
sailed from this port, yesterday, for
Hamburg, has a large hole stove in
her port bow and the four masted
schooner City of Georgetown is at the
bottom of the sea as a result of d
collision, early this morning, near Five
Fathom Bank light, beyond the Della
ware breakwater The schooner laden
with a cargo of salt from New York
for Savannah, rammed the steamer
and sank within eight minutes.
Capt. A.. j. Slocum and his crew of
seven men succeeded in lowering a
boat and left the schooner, just be-
fore she sank. They were taken
aboard the Prinz Oscar, which re-
turned to this city.
When the Prinz Oscar arrived here two
anchors and much of the forward rigging
of the schooner were wedged in the hole
caused by the collision.
The big light from Five Fathom bank
lightship is said to have been responsible
for the accident. The City of George
town was heading toward Cape Hatteras
lightship in the southeast while the
steamers course was set towards the
northeast in great circle towards the
transatlantic steamship route. The
light shone between the two approaching
vessels and when the lookouts perceived
each other it was too late to avoid the
collision.
Fortunately the wind was from the
shore and the sea was unusually calm,
enabling the schooner's crew to launch
their boat and escape in record breaking
time.
The IS passengers on the steamer were
in their hunks when they were startled
by the impact and many rushed to the
decks clothed only in their sleeping garr
ments. They were speedily assured, how
ever. by the officers and crew.
The City of Georgetown was built at
Bath, Me-, in 1902, and hailed. from New
Bedford. She was 1z0 feet long. 10 feet
beam and had a capacity of 1850 tons.

WILDE Whipped into Some
Shape, This Week.
Democrats Must Provide for
Nearly S35O,0OO,0OO Revenue.
And They Stand Pledged to Reduce
Tariff on the Necessities.

Washington, Feb. 2.-fhe framing
of the tentative basis of the entire
tariff legislation of the coming extra
session of Congress will begin, tomor-
row. in the House committee on ways
and means. The II Democrats of the
committee constitute its majority and
they will meet in executive session
daily from now until they have revised
all of the IA schedules of the present
law and the free list and administra-
tive provisions as well. They will
take up the tariff law schedule in the
regular sequence of the Payne Aldrich
act.
Democratic leader Underwood. on
whom as committee chairman the
tariff making burden falls the heavi-
est, believes the committees progress
Will depend the date of the extra ses-
sion of Congress. In the first week
of that session the House Democrats
in caucus will determine whether the
revision shall be schedule by schedule,
or by single sweeping measure.
The committee is confronted with the
problem of raising from 1926, 900 coo 10
$780, 600 from customs duties, cou-
pied with a pledge of lowering the
tariff bars on necessities. Of this
total figure the plan is to provide be-
tween $S5,o00,000 and 100 000, 600 by an
income tax, now lacking but one state
for ratification of the proposed Con-
stitutional amendment The income
tax in turn would embrace the cor
poration tax. which bids fair TO yield
s30.000,000 revenue during this year
A fairly well determined program is
already indicated. In the main, ac-
cording to the Democrats, the chemi-
cal. iron and steel, wool, cotton, and
free list bills will be like the previous
ones. but there will be numerous
changes dictated by new light thrown
on individual articles The Demo-
cratic majority already Is strongly
committed to an income tax and its
partial offset, the free sugar plan It
is estimated that free sugar would de
plete the revenues by $4,000, 600 and
that the free list would cut out APP

Will be reductions in the cotton, wool
and other schedules that may cause
a material loss. though in some of the
cases the Democrats count upon in
creased importations to offset the cuts

SPARKS FROM MAINE WIRES.

Lobster fishermen Of Monhegan Is
land are greatly pleased by the act of
the legislative committee, which
voted against the petition for a re-
duction of the close time on lobster
fishing for a two-mile radius about the
island. For several years there has
been a special law providing for a
close time on Holsters within a two
mile radius from June rs to Jan. Is.
This was passed upon the petition of
Monhegan lobstermen. who felt that it
would have tendency to check the
scarcity of Holsters during the sum-
mer. Since the law had been in force
it has been strictly lived up to by the
island fishermen and they report i'm
provement in the size and quantity
which they catch.

who appeared In court last Saturday
to make a complaint against man
who entered his office, used his tele-
phone without permission to call Chi
cago and talked $12 worth. for which
amount Poole got a bill from the tele-
phone company later.
Mr.. Feldman held that because it
was moral theft 1t should be stealing
legally and, therefore, applied to the
court to have Judge Hahn accept a
complaint of larceny.
"But is IT larceny" asked the court
And it was this question that puz-
zled not alone persons who happened
to be present In court to hear the ar
gument, but also lawyers throughout
