sea seen by any Of the rescuing crews ne

Thinks Chemicals Caused Fire.
Walter Dussclman. third officer OF the
Volturno. who was among those saved
by the GrOsser kurfurst. said that the
fire on his vessel was probably caused BY
an explosion among drums OF chemicals
stored in hold No. /. The heavy rolling
OF the ship. ne said. caused the drums TO
strike against the sides Of the vessel and
other objects I'm the hold. and the concus-
sion which resulted brought about the eX-
plosion and the fire. II was impossible,
he said. that the fire should have been
caused by "A cigarette dropped by a steer
age passenger
lie also denied that Captain Inch had
used pistol 90 drive men away from
the boats or 10 compel stokers TO return
TO the engine room Pintsch. the third
engineer. was compelled in one case TO
seize man by the scruf Of the neck and
drag him to his post in the stokehold. but
this man was the single rebelious member
OF the crew.

said Dusselman. but by 1890 in the
morning ne had made good progress in
fighting the fire Captain Inch said he
thought we would get through. He said
he would turn about and steam for an
English port.
Something happened then which gave
the fire fresh start. II got into in
fiammable stuff and began to get away
from us. It ate its way into hold No. 2.
We saw then that it would get the better
OF US. The captain did not tell the pas
sengers, who were already much fright
ened.
After we had tried to lower boats we
got word from the Carmania. We made
the captain go to his cabin. His eyes
were painful from the effects Of the fire
and he had not eaten anything for many
hours. Most Of the sailors were lost when
the boats sank Soon we could get no
more water. The flames got to the bridge.
and there were many explosions when
they ate through the ammunition box and
set off the skyrockets

US first. We threw lines to her, but they
l'did not reach. Then we tried to shoot a
rocket. The fuse was damp. IT would
rot work. Five or six OF the passengers
Jumped overheard. The sea was setting
against them, and they were washed back.
Four we threw lines TO and pulled them

"A boat from the Grosser kurfurst
came no quite close. They picked up
many OF the passengers who jumped. |
went to the passengers and told them to
keep clear of the vessels sides when they
jumped and not to jump until they saw a
boat near.
MANY boats came then. but soon no
more passengers would jump. They had
seen men i'm the water drown. None OF
the women jumped"

Feeding the Worst Evil.

But the element OF hell Ia In the
feeding. There has never a man gone
into that prison but has undergone
steady deterioration maybe slow, but
always sure. Or. Morton will tell you
that"
Men are sentenced for infringement
or the law" said DR.. Morton, but they
are not sentenced for the purpose OF
having their digestions ruined and
their health broken down, and with the
kind Of food given by the government
that is what happens to many. l have
been a member Of the prison medical
staff. and from my own experience as
a prisoner and from what | have OBJ
served know that proper food is not
served.
Things are better now since an up
rising in the prison about four weeks
ago, when the men demanded better
food on the day in question they
were given "A bowl Of rice for dinner,
and that was all they had. Many OF
them had been hard at work breaking
stone, and all needed food sufficient for
a days work, and they protested vigor-
ously and refused TO work unless they
got more to eat.
Men are put in prison TO be cared
for. not TO be subjected to slow muir
dor"

Passengers Afraid to Jump.

II IIetermann Won Sonnenberg, third
officer of the Grosser Kurfurst. was in
charge of the second boat which went
from the German liner to the Nolturno
on Thursday night He picked eleven
men out of the sea.
I'VE kept calling TO the passengers 10
iump." he said. Most Of them could not
understand us, but we made signs. too.
When men did jump we fished them IN
with boat hooks. 1t was hard work TO
keen our position. Bits Of flaming timber
fell around US. The smoke was poisonous.
". SAW both men and women at the
rails saw one man push another into
the water when he refused to jump. We
picked up the man.
mo one who jumped near our boat was
drowned. There were other boats near
us but | am not sure what vessels they
were from. | heard one man shouting to
his crew in German. so / judged he must
have been from the Kroonland. | saw
no boat from the Carmania.
Coming back we managed to rig up a
sail and then our boat made good prog
ress. although the waves kept breaking
over us The searchlight from the Car
mania helped US to find our ship. MY
crew behaved splendidly. So far as
could tell there was no disorder among
the crew of the Volturno
Enrich Rogge. fourth officer of the Gros-
ser Kurfirst. who took the third lifeboat
70 the Volturno through the heavy seas
was probably the saddest man on the big
liner when he returned from his battle
with the waves. His disappointment was
that Of a daring sportsman who had come
back empty handed. Though he kept his
little craft within q few yards OF the

Survivors Accuse Crew.

Only men and boys were rescued from
the Volturno by the boats OF the Grosser
Kurflrst. There were few who grew
excited when they talked about the scenes
through which they had lived. They raised
their arms and waved eloquent hands as
they told OF their suferings.
Three men-Eremea Cimbaiist' Michael
Glasean and Simon Gawriluk-showed
bruises on their arms which they said
had been inflicted by cook OF the first

Spectacle Thrills Passengers.

No one among the passengers OF the

Company, who was one OF the passengers

but the reflection OF the flames through
the porthoie lighted up my room like

burning liner. They were totally igno-

Mrs Joe" Howard said: "One OF the
men rescued was an American negro. lie

William a. Wolf. OF this city. passen-

Voturno came aboard the life preservers

too soon. They lowered lines and rope

down and assisted us in flashing ourselves

| Flttn avenue WOulu DC iS6o'oS
by the average man as ample.
This week the Gorham Com
PAW has nine. 1t wishes it had
more. It's all in knowing what
to do with elephants.
One of them-or rather his
seamy hide tanned into a beauti-
full fresh brown leather-you may
see in the window of the Fifth
avenue store.
The hides Of the other eight,
made up into all kinds OF at
tractive new bags and cases, you
will find inside.
These elephants have a history.
Up to last April eight of them
were with a circus. At Peru,
Indiana, the big food overlook
them and they persisted Of fright.
About the same time the ninth
elephant incautiously backed on
ferryboat into the Hudson river. !,
Nine elephant hides on the
market at one swoop was the big
gest lot in long while. OfI
course, Gorham's secured all nine. |
Since then the hides, weighing
1000 pounds each, have been IN
the tanneries and the Gorham
shops.
The first consignment OF az
ticles made from those hides
came to the Gorham stores last
week. If you never tried to make
up an elephants hide into bags
and things you'd be astonished
at how many one will make. tx-
perts say that this new lot OF ele-
phant leather suitcases, purses
and the rest are the most perfect
ever offered on Fifth avenue.
One of the choicest items in
the whole lot is a lady's l5-inch
I, travelling bag, fitted with IL
3 pieces of l4-karat gold. This bag
r is lined with gold colored MORE
silk. 1t contains a mirror, brush
and comb, cloth brush, cologne
! bottle, tooth powder bottle, tooth
brush holder, nail file, nail scls-
sors, cuticle scissors and button
hook-all for $40. With the
same articles in silver, SIS.
A mans suitcase of the same
leather and similar fittings is sold
at $500.
Some of the other articles in
this new elephant leather stock
are:
Overnight bag, with removable
trav that fits inside, with the
same pieces of engraved silver as
contained in the travelling bags
referred to above, $40.
Shopping bag, with solid silver
frames. fitted with purse, mirror
and puff, $40 and up.
level boxes for ladies and gen.
tlemen, from SO up.
Aluminium humidor covered
with elephant leather, alright,
with perforations for moistening
the cigars, of which it holds TWEEN
tv-four-S28. 1t is fastened with
a gold clasp in the shape of a
cigar. 1t makes an ideal present
for a man.
Cases for letters, cards and
bills, trimmed with gold, SIS up.
Some of the other elephant
leather goods are motor bags
limousine cases, jewel bags, jewel
boxes, portfolios, purses. shop
ping bags, bill folds, leather cases,
tobacco pouches, cigar cases,
| cigarette cases. They come in
variety of textures and soft dark
brown shades.
And these articles wear almost
lifetime. An elephant leather
purse that has been carried con-
stantly for % years, and is still
