ROTTEN LIFE BOATS

Continued from page ~

The chief officer, the purser and
their assistants began to prepare boats
for lowering, and drove all the $40
steerage passengers aft.
There was no panic but much
weeping and the cries of women and
children We're very touching. None of
us at that time thought there was any
danger.
Until the engines were abandoned

not see Captain Inch draw his pistol
and think that story is fabrication,
because there was no occasion for the
display of force. Nobody tried to quit
work
When the first boat was lowered
late Thursday after the engines stop
ped and the fire fighting had to be
abandoned, the first mate took charge
and several men found their way into
the boat. When it and three others
were smashed, drowning all, Captain
Inch ordered no more boats lowered
and encouraged his order by cutting
the ropes.

The passengers were treasured
from time to time by Captain Inch who
told them the fire was being controlled

kuk Industrial Association and the
moving machine will be furnished at
once. Although always very gener.
GUS, the members of the Industrial
Association do not usually make
habit OF supplying farmers with ma
chimes to harvest their crops. The
reason the organization Is playing the
role of Santa Claus in this case is
that they wish to make a thorough
test OF a moving machine recently in
vented by man who is attempting to
get the Industrial Association to CO.
on crate with him in establishing a
factory to manufacture them in this
city In order to test the machines 1t
Is Necessary to place them under ac-
tual operating conditions. Ilis with
this object in view that the Industrial
Association is looking for farmers who
Will use the machines in their fields
this fall
The inventor of the machine, Mr..
Ads Morris, was until recently farm
er living near Indianola, Iowa. Mr..
Morris found that even the best NOW
ing machine he could buy proved to be
very inefficient, and it was this facy
that started him in the path of the in
ventor. He has invented a machine
that he claims eliminates the weak
points of the ordinary mower. Farm
ers who have inspected the machine
have all been enthusiastic in it's praise
and there remains now only the final
test of actual service to determine
whether or not the Industrial Associa-
tion will assist Mr.. Morris In establish
ing factory.
In construction, the machine differs
from the ordinary machine in several
ways. All lost motion between the
drive wheels and the sickle, ordinarily
a very objectionable feature of now
ers, has been eliminated. The pitman
rod, cog wheels and all important NOV
| ing parts of the machine ruin in oil,
and require practically no attention
from the operator, while the percent
age of chances of any part breaking
] have ben reduced to minimum,
The machines are on exhibition at
| the Hydraulic Tire Setter company's
plant at Ninth and Johnson streets
and anyone wishing to do SO may in
spect them at that place. The machine
weighs about fifty pounds more than
the ordinary mower but on account of
/ its smoothness of operation it pulls
easier than other mowers. the s-gentor
/ claims.
The Industrial Association is very
anxious to test out the machine and
any farmer who will use one of them
this fall will receive the hearty thanks
of the organization. The use of the
machine will be given to any farmer
who has a field of ten acres or more to
use it in, and the larger the field. the
rougher the usage, the more the asso-
citation will be pleased
