Distress in Halifax.
HALIFAX, N. s., October 1.-THE an
nouncement made here today that the
Volturno had been burned at sea, with
a possible heavy loss of life, created
CONSERVATION and deep distress among
relatives and friends of passengers
and crew. The Volturno was due to
stop at Halifax on her way to New
York.
One woman who has two sons on
the vessel coming from Holland in
sisted Historically that the local
agents of the line tell her whether
her boys We're safe. She had to be
quieted by assurances that the young
men were all right. The officials We're
afraid to tell her there was any doubt
of their safety for fear that she might
lose her reason.
According to advices received by the
local agents of the Furness line, the
steamer Rappahannock which picked up
some of the Volturnos passengers Will
reach here next Wednesday.
Fire on Sister Ship.
The Volturno had been running there
for seven years for different owners. On
a recent trip. about six weeks ago. her
sister ship, the Uranium, put into Hall

The Volturno had a somewhat noted
career. On her first "Trip to this port she
brought in the crew of a French bark,
La Champagne, whom she rescued in mid
Atlantic during a storm as violent as
that in which the Volturno was destroyed.
The Volturno, then commanded by Capt.
Harrison. stayed by the sinking vessel for
| four days until the seas moderated suffi-
GENTLY to launch lifeboat.

Lack of Able Seamen
Responsible for Loss
of Life, He Declares

Inc Folturno disaster Is but repe-
tition of the Titanic catastrophe on
smaller scale. In both instances the
loss of life was made greater by the
acknowledgement of the lifeboats by
unskilled crews. During the past
twenty years hundreds of lives have
been lost because Of the lack of skilled
seamen on ocean liners and yet Con-
gress has done nothing to remedy this
state of affairs
Such was the statement made yes
terday afternoon by Andrew Furuseth,
president of the International Seamens
Union, following the reading of the
reports of the Volturno disaster Mr..
Furuseth said he was sure the Vol
turno's boats were manned by un-
skilled seamen.
Comparison Is Drawn.
This is clearly indicated by the fact
that while four or more of the Vol
turno's boats were dashed against the
side of the ship after they had been
filled with passengers and lowered.
the Carmania, which was standing by
to render assistance, lowered boat
and afterward raised 1t again without
a mishap. The reports of the disaster
state that a high wind was blowing
and that there was a rough sea, but
this cannot be held responsible for the
wrecking of the burning ships life
boats. Had they been manned by
skilled seamen they would have been
kept away from the ships side. II the
Carmania's boat could live in the
waves there's no reason why those of
the Volturno could not have done so
had they been properly handled.
Champion Of Legislation.
For many years Mr.. FurUseth mas
made his headquarters in washington
good part of the time in order TO look
after legislation in Congress anecting
seamen. For ten years or more he has
been working for the enactment or a
seaman's bill which Will SET standard
in seamanship The seaman'S bill will
again come up for consideration in the
Senate next Thursday. 1t provides that
an able seaman shall nave served at
least three years on the deck Of ocean

Insured for $500, 900.

TORONTO, Ont. October I'D. B.
Hanna, vice president of the Canadian
Northern Railway, owners of the Vol
turno said today that the hull of the
Volturno was valued at 1000, and that
she was insured for 100000.

them to Warsaw, Poland, thence to
Antwerp, where they were to have
boarded the Volturno for New York.
No word has been received to indicate
that Mrs. Greilech had changed her
plans
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1913-10-12
Change of Conditions.

Limited liability laws and the fact that
1t Is possible to insure a ship for almost
any amount, provided the owner is will
ing to pay the premium. have brought
about great changes in ships crews, ac-
cording to the president Of the Seamens
Union. The skilled seaman, who thor
oughly understands his business, has
disappeared. and in his place an inferior
type of so-called seaman now mans the
ocean liners, according to Mr.. Furuseth.
The shipowner no longer fears disaster.
because he is protected by insurance and
limited liability laws. and as the result
he considers the cheapest seaman the best
for his purposes. Mr.. Furuseth declares.
Until Congress takes a hand nothing
will be done to raise the standard of
seamanship, and other disasters such as
befell the Titanic and Volturno may be
expected, he maintains.

CONV|NCES THE POLICE
HE MURDERED SEVERAL
Spencer Visits Scenes of His
Crimes and Satisfies
Chicago Officials.

CHICAGO, October Hilary Spencer
slayer OF Mrs. Mildred Allison Rexroat,
| convicted himself of another murder to-
day
Spencer. whose confession last SUM-
day to the commission of twenty murders
failed to convince the police after inves-
tigation, today found himself in the UNI
usual position of being called upon to
prove some of the crimes which he had
admitted and to that end was taken out
in an automobile by Capt. Halpin of the
detective bureau.
After pointing out the scenes of a few
of his minor crimes Spencer said: Now
drive to Goth and Washington"
Arriving at this spot Spencer pointed
out to the ruins of the Ingram flats. Us
of which were destroyed by fire last
February.
Il got sore when couldn't rent fiat
in the place and set fire TO the elevator
shaft" explained the prisoner
In this confiagration "Old Dad" Ben
ham. janitor OF the building, was burned
to death.
Spencer's confession to the murder OF
an old man in Jackson Park two months
ago and throwing his body into the
lake received partial confirmation at the
Jackson Park life-saving station. Men,
bers of the crew recovered body from
the lake at that time. The skull had
been crushed.
Wight Confession Confirmed.
Confirmation of Spencers assertion that
it was he who murdered Mrs. Annabel
Wight was given to the satisfaction of the
detectives when Spencer was taken to the
house where the woman was fatally
beaten with hammer. Before entering,
Spencer was required to describe the in
terror This he did accurately. and then
guided the detectives about the premises
The murderer was then taken back TO
the detective bureau and locked up. The
will be resumed Monday.
II am certain that Spencer killed Mrs.
Wight, and all essential facts concerning
the Jackson Park murder fit his confess
sion," said Capt. Halpin. I'VE will go
over more Of his trail of holdups and al
lodged killings Monday. There is no
doubt that this man was guilty of many
of the saloon and restaurant holdups in
last winters crime wave"

Test of Seamanship.

Mr.. Furuseth declares that the lower
ing of lifeboats and getting them away
from a ships side, no matter how rough
the sea may be, is the real test for sea-
manship. No matter how adept he may
be in other matters, the able seaman
should be judged only on his ability
to handle lifeboat
The present insurance system is re-
sponsible for the inefffciency which char
acterlzes the crews of the ocean liner
of today, according to Mr.. Furuseth. Up
until seventy-five years ago shipowners
made 1t az point to select only skilled
seamen for their crews. he said, for
they realized that the fate of their craft
rested with them. In those days ships
could not be insured as they are today,
he said. The shipowner also was held
