nitrogen and mineral matter. Having
high nutritive ratio, 1t is equal to barley

is to extend the food ration, reduce the

the accumulation of internal fat. The

RIPS HOLE IN IowA's SIDE

Chicago, July 1S.-The steamers
Sheboygan and Iowa, of the Good
rich line of lake steamers, collided
in fog at the mouth of the harbor
here yesterday. The Sheboygan was
little damaged but the Iowa came
to port with a thirty-foot hole on
her bow, and after being assisted by
tugs to her wharf in the river, fin
ally sank. No one was killed or in
jured. The financial loss of the Iowa
and her cargo, 1t is said, will be
heavy. Both ships were heavily Ia
den with freight. The Iowa had
made stops and discharged her pas
sengers and was on her way to an
other wharf to discharge her freight
AS she swung broadside the Sheboy-
gan doomed out of the fog and be-
fore the crew of the Iowa had fair

was upon them.
There was splintering crash as
the Sheboygan struck the starboard
bow of the Iowa, about twenty feet

Hackett, formerly Cook at the Brant-

east Of the Short Line bridge.
Early yesterday morning Mrs.
Hackett gave her husband a drink
of water, when a request was made
for one. An hour later she awoke
and found him missing.
The body was standing upright
when found, the top Of his head Just
above the water. He evidently had
walked into the river until the wat
err was above his head and as there
was little or no current the body
had not moved from perpendicular
position. Mr.. Hackett had been i'll

SOCIALIST QUARTERS ARE
RA|DED BY u. S. SAILORS

sisted that the meetings did not vio-
late the law. IS
During the golden potlatch cele-
bration hundreds of men from the
Pacific reserve fleet were given
shore leave, and yesterday many
soldiers from Fort .Lawton and Fort
Flagler were at liberty. A number
of soldiers and sailors got into a
fight with men attending an Indus
trial Workers meeting on Washing
ton street last night, and three
soldiers were beaten, two Of them
so seriously as to require dressing
of their injuries at the city hospital.
Shortly before midnight last
night, Secretary of the Navy Jose
plus Daniels, addressing a banquet
given at the Rainier club in his hon
or, spoke in tribute to the American
flag and took occasion to praise the
attitude of the mayor Of Boston
who stopped red flag parade.
"The red flag has no place in
this country" he said, "and believ-
ers in it have no place in this coun-
try. A mayor who does not enforce
the law against the red flag is not
fit to hold Office and people who be-
lieve in the red flag should be driv-
en- from the country"
Mr.. Daniels then passed on to an
eulogy of President Wilson and clos
ed his address amid great cheering
1t is believed that Mr.. Daniels had
no knowledge of any Seattle contro-
versy over the red flag.

BIG LAKE STEAMERS
COLLIDE; iowa SUNK

Iowa careened, and as she righted
herself, the battered nose of the
Sheboygan swung clear and disclos-
ed the hole in the side OF the Iowa.
The water rushed into her hold and
the vessel began to sink by the head.
River tugs came to the aid of the
Iowa, threw lines to her, and under
full steam started for a dock in
North Water street, while the crew
strained at the pumps. The Sheboy-
gan. which had also discharged its
passengers, was in better shape and
prepared to stand by and give aid IL
the Iowa sank. The life saving crew
from the mouth of the river came
alongside in a motor lifeboat.
The Iowa kept settling and It was
feared at any moment she would
sink. She was swaying when the
tugs wharfed her into the dock. The
emergency freight handlers waiting
rushed on board to remove as much
=.
of the cargo as possible. The pumps
were powerless against the rush of
the waters, which we're coming into
the vessel by tons. A moment later
the lookout cried in alarm and the
crew and freight handlers made for
the wharf just before the vessel
sank.
William Thorpe, vice president
and general manager of the Good
rich company, said the loss would
be heavy.
The Iowa, which was built in
1896 by the Goodrich Transit Com
pany, was 2o2 feet long, and had a
gross tonnage Of $1.157. The She
boygan is 20s feet in length. but Of
a lighter tonnage.

ing woman who disappeared from
a Rock Island train between Chicago

The woman left Chicago at 1890
on the fast train. She had ticket
to Audubon, la. She talked with
several women passengers. who said
afterward that she appeared very
nervous and almost jumped from her
seat whenever the train lurched.
Some distance beyond Englewood
she told a woman passenger that she
was going to the wash room. After
a long time, when she did not re-
turn, the conductor was notified. She
could not be found.
She left in her seat white straw
hat with yellow ribbons and bag
OF fruit. She had no suit case or
trunk, the train crew say.
Detectives believe there may be
some connection between her and

Chicago. The body had been there
about three days. 1t is that of a

MAN SAVED AT
N|ACARA'S BRINK
Four Men Form Chain and Rescue
Epileptic.

Niagara Falls, N. Y. July 49,
Truman Chapman, % years old, Of
Hamilton, Ont, was rescued from
the brink of the American falls last
night by four men, one of whom
took a desperate chance to reach
him. Chapman was sitting on the
iron railing Just above Prospect
point, and was seen suddenly to top
pie backwards into the stream.
At this point the current is swift,
and the pull toward the brink Of the
falls, fifteen feet away, almost ire
sistible. After striking the water,
Chapman's body lodged against two
projections of rock, and this un-
doubtedly saved him from almost in
slant death.
When the cry went up that a
man was in the water, John Hughes
and Thomas S. Winders of Niagara
Falls, Thomas D. Thomas of Toron-
" dIfu IUuAl III HAL, WuO ulQ not
give his name, leaped over the rail-
ing. The unidentified man waded
several feet but could not reach
Chapman. Winders and Thomas
then formed chain from the iron
fence and clinging to the unknown's
hand, enabled him to reach Chap
man.
Twice the man at the end of the
chain was swept from his feet, but
he clung to his burden and the unit
ed efforts of the men nearest, who
had better footing, finally swung
the two of them out of the grasp of
the current
Chapman was unconscious for an
hour after being taken ashore. Rel
atives said he was subject to fits and
was stricken while sit
ting on the railing.
