FISHGUARD. WALES, oct. 18.-
All the passengers of the burned IRA
mum liner volturno could have been
saved but for the cowardice of her
crew.
That more than 500 persons, the
bulk of the passengers, We're saved
vas due alone to the heroic behavior
of the Volturno's captain, Captain
Thomas Inch
These facts were learned here this
afternoon on the arrival OF the Cunard
liner Carmania. the first ship to pick
40 the VOlturno's call and rush to
her assistance. The Carmania was
delayed several hours because OF a
storm that was raging in the Atlantic,
The charge of Walter Trintepohl, a
leerage passenger who was PICKED
~ by the Carmania. that members
Ut the crew fought for places in the
ufeboats until Captain Inch drew his
evolver was borne out by other facts.
Twenty five members of the crew OF
% were saved, Thus, OF those VINO
~eItshed 6S were seamen. According
o Trintepohl six sailors were killed
while fighting the flames. The rest
lied as a result of their own cow
aTdice.
Sailors in Wild Panic.
Most of the seamen on the Volturno
We're Germans and Belgians. When
they saw that the ship was doomed,
they became pani.-stricken. After
Captain Inch had given orders to low
er the boats and had instructed his
officers to see that women and chill
iren were cared for first, the COW
ardly seamen made dash for the
boats and scrambled in. The officers
used their fists, but were OverpoW-
red. When Captain Inch saw the per
formance repeated in the second
boat, he drew his revolver and threat
aned to kill the first sailor who inter
cred with the passengers.
Sailors were needed. however, to
nan the oars, and when the call was
given for men to take charge Of the
fourth and fifth boats there was a
rush forward which overwhelmed the
officers in charge.
The hull of the Volturno was steel
and this held and intensified the heat
II the fire. The hull became red hot
from stem to stern above the water
Inc and after deck. and was so hot
hat all the survivors suffered from
BADLY burned feet
The waves dashed on the heated
hull caused clouds Of steam TO arise.
which made the passengers fear they
would be scalded.
Captain Barr. commander Of the
Narmania. which served as the flag
ship of the rescue squadron, said
there was no hope that either Of the
Ifeboats that left the Nolturno be
fore he arrived could nave escaped.

On the day his wife was burledt
he drove TO Conyers in an auto
mobile and asked Miss Wheeler
to be his wife, and she consented.
He had the ceremony per-
formed the next day. he said, for
the simple reason that he wanted
new mother for his four little
children. and because he wished
to continue them under his care
without even temporary break.
His statement follows:
Il am innocent of the charge Of
poisoning my wife. I'm satisfied that
no poison will be found, and that
I'll be indicated and restored to my
second wife and my darling children.
I'm simply a victim of strange cir
cumstances
81 loved my wife better than any
thing in the world. and would not
have harmed her for my life. she
died of natural causes Her illness
started with congestion Of the stom-
ach and liver. and then developed
complications that resulted in urep3ic
poisoning or kidney trouble

81 did all I could to save her life
and relieve her suffering. / had no
reason to kill her-I had all the rea-
son to wish her to live and care for
my little children. My father, DR.. J.
NJ +. Barron, and Dr. Smith. Of Nc
Donough, were present and could
have detected it If had been poison
ing my wife.
AS to Miss Wheeler. l met her o
short time ago, about the first of Sep
TENDER at Kelly's Church, near my
home at White House. I paid her
no attention at taht time, and saw
her only once or twice afterward.
Il never spoke one word Of love 10
her OF course. I liked her, as she
seemed to be such nice girl, out
this was all.
when my wife died l thought If

cided to marry again If I could. IN
order that they might have a mother
and might be under my direct care.
I didn't want anyone else to have

CROSS TO SPEAK
IN SULLIVAN
bUiibfNG -
why Was | Born?" be Theme;
viii Speak to Men Tomorrow
Afternoon on "SeIIing The
birthright.

Tonight at 1880 Evangelist Percy
G. Cross will lecture in the Sullivan
building, $40 Main street, ON why
Was l Born?" This lecture will be
free to all. and will be of interest to
men, women and children alike. Sun
day afternoon at 8 O'Clock the evan
gelist will deliver his celebrated lee
ture Selling the Birthright," to men
only at the same place. All the rest
of the services for Sunday and the
remainder of the week will be held
in the Christian church, Eighth street
and White avenue. The Sunday
morning sermon at the church will
be on The knowledge of Jesus. q"
The sermon at 7:30 p. m. will be on
the subject, what Does 1t Take to
degenerate a Sinner?"
That Percy G. Cross knows how to
talk to men was thoroughly demon
strated yesterday noon at the ID. &
r. G.. machine shops. Beginning at
l2:45 the evangelist talked for Is
minutes to about rs men gathered
in the shop. winning their hearty ap-
plause and favor by his earnest,
straightforward words on the needs
of the hour in religion and in life
Just 20 years ago Percy Cross was
firing a narrow gauge engine in east
ern Texas. and prior to that he had
served for some time as machin-
ist. He owes much of his iron
strength of body to the fact that he
has never ceased to keep in physical
trim from that day to this, no mat
ter how exacting have been his stud
les or his ministerial duties. The
evangelist carries with him today in
his suitcase the same 10-pound
sledge hammer that he used as a
machinist's helper some 20 years
ago. Each morning he exercises with
this heavy hammer, throwing it
about as easily as il 1t were an ordi-
nary Indian club.
Last night at the Christian church
Rev. Cross finished the latter part
of his sermon on The Growth of the
Gospel" He maintained that the
gospel consisted of four things:
Truths to be accepted. facts to be be-
lieyed. commands to be .obeyed and
promises to be received. He made
his hearers gasp for a moment by
stating positively that he did not be-
lieve in baptism. 81 believe in
Christ" said the evangelist. "and
since he commanded baptism. l must
obey, as must we all. But l place
no faith in the water. 1t does not
save us. 1t is an act of obedience
to Christ that demonstrates our
faith in him and our desire to obey
him in every particular"
The attendance last night was
large and the music was particularly
good. Mrs. NJ. H. Loeffler and Miss
Agnes Gigax sang duett that was
most beautifully rendered. The work
of the church orchestra under the
direction of Luther Brown is winning
much favorable comment and adding
to the interest of the meetings.

STARTLING REPORT made
BY GRAND JURY At LATE

The grand jury reported at $40,
and issued their report, which was
substantially as follows:
That county business is and has
been transacted in a loose and GRIM
inal manner.
That monies have been Illegally
paid the county's clerks deputy as
purchasing agent" and should be
recovered.
That John F. Halderman, county
attorney. is incompetent, and should
be fired and n new and competent
attorney and legal adviser employed.
That the action started by John b.
Hunter and others against the eoun-
ty Judge and former clerk of the dis
trict court should be sanctioned.
That the bids for the construction
of the Main street bridge were farci-
cal and eliminated competition.
That the action to prevent the
payment of bridge warrants should
be approved.
That the voting machine certifi-
Gates of Indebtedness We're probably
illegal and action should be COM
menced to stop their payment.
That the actions of the present
board of county commissioners is, to
say the least, reprehensible.
That James II. Fisk is either in
competent or connived at fraud with
other guilty parties.
That the work in reconstructing
Pier b. should not be paid for.
The grand jury did not finish its
probe into county affairs, but was
adjourned until January 10, 1914,
when it will again take up its work.

and it is felt it should be a concerted
policy on the part of the United
and Europe.
1t is said that they will be smooth
ed out when all the facts are made
known by Washington officials. A
regret exists that any signs of i'll
feeling should have been displayed.
The officials hold that England
and other powers recognized Huerta
because they believed he was the
best man to handle the critical situa-
ton. Should President Wilson, af-
ter the elections, present as he is ex-
peuted to, a more practical solution
of the difficulty, it would be sympa-
thetically considered by England and
it is argued the divergence of the
view between the two countries is a
matter of methods and not aims.

Dawson. Oct. 25.-The recurrence
of large quantities of carbon dioxide
in No. . of the Stag Canon mine,
wrecked by the explosion on We'd

progress of the helmet men in the
exploration of the workings. At 4
o'clock an effort to bring out the

the rescue forces turning their at
tention to securing better ventila-
tion. At that hour 73 bodies had
been recovered. Twenty-three still
remained the number that were alive.
The hope of finding more of them
alive was abandoned.
The presence of the gas unnerved
the less experienced helmet men
since yesterdays fatal accident. They
were kept to work by presence OF
government experts who headed each
crew. The second government res
cue car arrived early today and eXpe-
d!ted the work The government eX-
perts are working on what is believed
to be the gas generating pocket be-
tween chambers Is and 10. Other
crews turned their attention to the
exploration of the west high line and
are reporting bodies in chambers 20
and 81.
This afternoon the funerals of the
second group of the explosion victims
was held. Business was suspended
for two hours during the services and
hundreds of persons followed the
bodies to the cemetery.
The persistent efforts of the gov
ernment experts materially improved
the quality of the air in the mine by
noon and the relief work is going
