SHIP ISANCHOREO

The Indrakuala Forced to Dis
charge Part OF Her
~ Cargo.

Admiralty Suits Aggregating

Especial to The Times Dispatch ]


Newport News. Va. January 9.--Cap-
tain Smith, master of the British
stoamsr Indrakuala, which sank the
Julia Luckenbach in Chesapeake Bay
last week. sending fifteen people 10
death. to-day telegraphed the United
states Shipping Company here that
his ship will not reach this port be-
fore late Friday afternoon or Satur-
day morning. even il clear weather is
had in the meantime. The captain re-
ports that he is anchored near Weems
Wharf. in the Rappahannock, and that
he Is dlscharging part OF his 5000 tons
OF cargo. This is made necessary By
reason OF the fact that the Indrakuala
is hard down by the bow. and with a
heavy cargo aboard, she is almost un-
manageable. II 10 expected that the
transferring OF a part Of the cargo
win be completed tomorrow morning
and then, II weather conditions are
favorable. the three tugs will take
tn. ship in tow for this port There
was a strong wind blowing over the
bay today. and even had she not been
discharging, the .Indrakuala could not
have continued her voyage. weather
conditions being entirely unfavorable
There will be two events Of interest
when the Indrakuala arrives here
=
ing of the Federal investigation into
the collision with the Luckenbacn.
and the second VIII be the admiralty
suits which Will be brought against
the steamer. II is announced that the
Luckenbach company Will bring ac-
tiln for 100000. The Merritt-Chap-
man Wrecking Company. the Clarke
Towboat Company and the ship ard
also will bring admiralty actions. II Is
said. TO recover salvage for floating
the disabled steamer and towing her
20 this port.
The amount of the damages claimed
in those suits will not be known
until the actions are brought. but the
opinion in shipping circles is that II
will reach 100000 on ship and cargo.
That all LSat stands between the
damaged British steamer lndrakuala
and sinking is a leaking forward bulk
head was the statement made bv men
arriving here to-day from the disabled
ship in the Rappahannock River on a
barg loaded with 100000 worth OF
cargo. which was taken from the dis
sbled craft yesterday. Thus far the
forward bulkhead has held up well.
but the fact that IL is leaking shows
that the pressure Of water against II
IS beginning to tell. and there is no
saying when IL Will give way. In
order 10 keep ali possible pressure of
the buIkhcad. the Indrakuala VIII be
towed here stern first The tugs Rescue
and Edna V. Crew will do the towing
and the Apache will follow behind the
disabled ship with line from her 70
keep the Indrakuals straight on her
course

inquiry next week by 8. special agent

Richmond for that purpose. A dis
patch from Washington last night
states that an official from the depart
ment has been detailed to this assign
ment.
Despite strenuous opposition on the
part OF the cities that stand to lose
their collectors as result OF the pro-
posed merger OF customs districts IN
Virginia, there appears ground for the
belief that the Treasury Department
will insist on the pruning. Tho re-
trenchment program mapped out TOT
the customs department. last summer
by the Democrats calls for a reduction
of ss5O.000 in the annual appropria-
tion. and the fall OF the axe appears to
be Inevitable

HE WAS TOO TIRED TO LIVE
LATEST Man in the Country Dies; Was
in Bed for Fifteen
Years.

Jerseyville, 1ll.-After fifteen years
Of complete rest, during which time
he refused to get out of bed on any
account, even to get his meals or be
shaved, John Muncray, the most tired
farmer in Illinois, died at the county
home here. Muncray was seventy
years old, but since his retirement
from action of any sort at the age Of
fifty-five the physicians attending him
could find no trace of physical dis
ability to explain his utter laziness.
He died. apparently, because he was
weary of breathing.
Soon after his arrival at the county
farm fifteen years ago Muncray was
set to work doing chores about the
barns of the institution. He yawned
continually and groaned occasionally.
The men who worked near him used
10 say that for his age he was about
as agile at ducking work as anyone
they had ever encountered.
Finally, one blustery March day
Muncray lay right down next to some
work he was doing and refused to get
up. Physicians were called and he
was put to bed. but examination
showed that there was nothing the
matter with him. He, however, pro-
tested that he was i'll beyond words
and refused to get out of bed. He lay
contentedly until summer, rolled over
during The fall and lay fat on his back
the following winter; ditto the next
four seasons and ditto the next four
teen years.
