CAPTAIN BARR GIVES
HIS STORY OF WRECK

LIvERPooL, Oct. 12;-when the
steamship CarmaEia anchored in the
Mersey at l O'Clock this morning. Cap
Tain Barr told newspaper men his story
OF the Folturno rescues. He said that
when he reached the Folturno and saw
that the burning vessel was in sore
straits he lowered a boat, feeling that he
MUST do so, although 1t seemed an al
most hopeless thing TO do He declared
that his other boat crews were anxious
TO make the dangerous attempt to reach
the Volturno, but that he was exceed
lngly glad he did not send them as It
was only through the splendid seaman
ship of the officer in charge that the
one boat launched was gotten on board
again after fruitless effort to reach
the burning vessel.
Captain Barr remarked. as he conclud-
ed his story, that doubtless the point
would arise as TO why the Carmania, al
though arriving first, only rescued one
person,
II give you my narrative in detail" he
said, "in order to show you how l was
employed-1 think very usefully en-
ployed during the night. do not think
| could have done more
'I think In the circumstances" con-
cluded Captain Barr, that Captain Inch
acted very bravely. considering he was
one against SO many terror stricken
people"

NEW YORK. Oct, 13.-The part played
by the steamer Grosser Kurfuerst in the
tragedy of the Voturno is described In
a wireless message received by the
North German Lloyd line today from
Captain Spangenberg.
THE Volturno was found in a total
burning condition" reads the message.
The fire commenced with a heavy eX-
plosion in the bow, resulting in the dea Oh
OF several OF the passengers and crew.
Eleven vessels surrounded the vicinity.
A heavy north northwest storm, high
seas and a swell prevailed,
1.-TWO boats. Of the Grosser Kurfuerst
remained on the water all night but il
was almost impossible to approach the
wreck. During the night thirty-two per-
sons were saved by the two boats, and
at dawn sixty-eight more. One Of the
Volturno's boats. containing five men,
was picked up and the men taken on
board. Their boat sa nix Immediately

Boat Smashed, Occupants Saved.

Meanwhile disaster threatened a boat
crew from the Minneapolis, because Of a
broken rudder. The searchlght of the
Carmana revealed their plight, and a
boat was sent TO their rescue. When
brought alongside the Cunarder, their
boat was smashed against the side. but
the officers and crew were saved. They
had been out for five hours.
This time spent In rescuing the Min
neapois boat affected Captain Barr's
plan of operation. He had four boats
ready to launch, but now was farthest
from the scene. Captain Barr then sig
nailed the other captains that his ship
was difficult to maneuver and If they
could do the work lie would stand aside
"At daybreak the gale moderated and
then occurred a happening that resulted
in the salvation OF the Volturno's crew
and passengers, When Captain Barr sent
out call for a tank steamer there came
back reply from the Narragansett;
We will be there with the mils'-the sea
name for oil.
"On arrival of the tanker huge quanti-
ties OF oil were pumped around the Vol
turno. making 1t safe for the lifeboats
to approach. II was a stirring spectacle
when the great liners put off their boats,
which danced over the shimmerlng, OIL
filmed waters to the work OF rescue. And
soon the Volturno was left derelict."

CHINESE HERBAL|ST
IS WINNER IN COURT
Board of Medical Examiners
Fails to Obtain lnjunc-
ton Against Him.

Because. there Is no legal definition as
TO what constitutes domestic family
remedies" Judge G. w. Morse of the dis
trict court yesterday decided against the
state board OF medical examiners In its
attempt TO obtain a permanent inJunc
tlon restraining Yee Foo Lun, a Chinese
herbalist, from practlcing without a IL
cense
The state law on medical practice
makes an exception OF, domestic family
remedies" providing that they can be
sold without q license. In the fight that
has been waged against Yce Foo Lun
the question Of what constitutes family
remedies in the meaning OF the law. And
inasmuch as no court has ever passed
on the point and the medical fraternity
has never agreed upon a definition, the
court held that the action against Yee
Foo Lun must, from legal standpoint,
fall.
1--WE were unable to furnish the court
with definition, and hence we could
not show that the material sold By Yee
Foo Lun was not a domestic family rem
edy." said l. T.. Wiley, county attorney,
who brought the Injunction suit on be-
half OF the state board.
There are now pending against Lun
FIVE criminal charges OF practicing with
out license. The county attorney will
not dismiss these until he Is convinced
that in view Of the decision IN the civil
suit, conviction Is Impossible.
The whole trouble, according to the
county attorney, lies in the phraseology
OF the state medical law, which should
be amended IN many ways. he thinks.

as a fair average price paid the band

In checking up the alleged confes.

position to charge the gang with sixty
eight bomb setting jobs. In addition
they will accuse them with extortion,
burglary. felonious assault, arson and

Carmania Starts Back.

The first lntimation received by the
passengers of the Carmania that any
thing unusual had happened was while
they were at breakfast on Thursday
when the continuous breaking OF the
green seas on the decks above them and
the plunging Of the vessel indicated that
the Carmana's course had been changed
and that she was speeding in the face
of the gale.
Immediately on receipt of the s. o. S
signal Captain Barr double manned the
stokeholds and the Carmania was soon
travelling at a speed such as she had
seldom attained since her trial trips.
The first lifeboat launched by the Car
mania after she arrived In the vicinity
of the Volturno fought the seas for three
and a half hours. According to specta-
tors, only the use Of sea anchors and the
magnificent seama nship Of First Officer
Gardiner saved the craft and It's crew
from destruction,
