Wife of V0lturnO Officer
on Rescue Ship Sees Her
Husband Go to His Death

NEW YORK, Oct. 13.-Perhaps the
most dramatic of the smaller human
tragedies that made up the great
tragedy of the sea was the subtle play
of Fate that brought face to face in
the presence of death Mr.. and Mrs.
H. P. Miller-he dying on the Vol
turno; she within view of him on
board the Kroonland.
Miller was the Volturnos first off,
GER. The fact of his death in at
tempting to guide lifeboat filled with
people away from the wreck is con-
firmed by wireless dispatches.
Mrs. Miller had been abroad. She
sailed on the Kroonland from Dover
to rejoin her husband in New York.
When the Kroonland reached the
scene of the disaster. she must have

quickly known the identity of the ship
that was burning in the storm.
For eighteen hours the Kroonland
lay by the Volturno, and it Is prob
able that in the dawn the wife saw
the brave husband leap into the life
boat which was smashed against the
ships side
II the torture of the night and day
was terrible for the wife. it was more
grimly terrible for the husband.
He knew that she was on the vessel
that had come to save him and his
hundreds of helpless human charges;
but he could not send to her even a
word of parting before he boarded the
tiny craft that carried him to his
doom. The wireless was destroyed.
The ships were very near to one
another. The rescue ships were
crowding as close as possible while
the desperate attempts to launch
boats were being made.
If it had not been for the strict rule
of the British Board of Trade, Mrs,
Miller would have been on the Vols
turno with her husband The rule
forbids the wife of steamship off,
Ger to accompany him on voyage.

Newark AIl-Year School
a Success; Described
in U. S. Publication

Considerable attention is devoted in
the booklet Special Features in City
School Systems" issued by the
United States Bureau of Education.
to the all-year school which has been
successfully tried in this city under
the direction of Superintendent of
Schools Addison B. Poland The sys-
tenn is-explained in an article by DR..
Poland.
In the article DIR. Poland declares
that the schools were opened to prove
that under proper conditions of disci-
pline and instruction pupils will
suffer no physical or mental injury by
the additional eight weeks of school
attendance and that the continuous
session saves an immense amount of
time and energy
As an experiment. two schools in
gthickly populated sections of the city
were tried. and as a result DIR. Poland
recommended that the classes be con-
tinued in the Belmont Avenue and
Seventh Avenue schools, with the adj
dition of two or more of the best at
tended summer schools. The all-year
plan is now a fixture in the two
schools, and 1t is the intention of Dr.
Poland to increase the scope of the
work, taking in other of the public
schools where the classes are large,
IL the appreciation of the Board of
Education is obtained.

Desertion, Confers With VIII,

Clinton S. Buckley, arrested in New
York several weeks ago charged with
wife desertion and who returned to
this city for trial without extradition,
had a long consultation with his wife
and several friends at the Court
House today following the postpone
ment of his trial on the desertion
charge from today until Wednesday,
October %
The postponement of the trial was
granted by Judge Osborne at the re-
quest of Buckley, and it was init
mated that the case may eventually
be settled by the acceptance of a plea
from him instead of having the case
brought to trial.

The sea was running high at this
time and many of the passengers
stood at the rails looking out over
the water and wondering what chance
they would have in the open boats.
Suddenly there came a great
burst of flames through the forward
hatch and the passengers and many
of the crew rushed to the stern.
Whether anyone was knocked over
board at this time could not tell.
Everyone was screaming and the
wind was bowling through the rig
ging and around the cabins. Every
few minutes a great wave would
dash partially over the vessel and we
would be dreAched.
There seemed to be plenty of
boats but one of the officers told me
that 1 must not get into them yet.
Women and children first he said.
"A few minutes later heard some
one order the boats to be manned.
Then there was a rush for all of the

"All this time the captain behaved
splendidly. So did the officers. But

who were Germans and Belgians, did
not. They continued to fight for the
boats. At last the officers began to
push the sailors back. The first Of

Governor Will
Veto Bill to.
Add Judge?

Word received here today from
Denver from a man who is close to
Governor Ammons gives rise to
strong belief that the executive in
tends to veto the Tobin bill, passed
by the house and senate, which
would give the Seventh judicial dis
trict a new judge. The governor in
his veto message, it is said. will de-
clare that the bill is against his poll
ic yof strict economy. He win ad-
wise that some of the idle judges of
other districts be brought to this dis
trict instead of new and expensive
office being created.
The bill may be repassed over the
governors veto, but it seems doubt
full now.
