Again the wireless played an i'm
portant part in a great sea tragedy.
The first call from the burning
steamer reached the liner Carmania,
which. WAS seventy eight miles
away. She crowded on full steam
and rushed to the doomed Volturno,
Captain Barr of the Carmania, on
his arrival, learned that four of
the six crowded lifeboats, which
had been launched by the Volturno,
had been smashed and the occu.
pants drowned.
The Carmania made splendid ef-
fort to send lifeboats to the hun
drods still aboard the burning ves-
sci, but the terrific sea prevented
The Carmania kept its wireless
working and at four o'clock Thurs
day the liners Crosse, Kurfurst and
Seydlits came in sight Then came
the Kroonland, DeNonian, Rappahan-
mock, Minneapolis, La Turainne and
Asian.
At nine o'clock there was an ex-
plosion on the Volturno. Thous-
ands on the other liners watched
helpless as the Volturno burned. FL
nally the seas quieted enough to al
low a bot, and five hundred were
taken off the blackened hulk
The wireless from the Carmania
said that the Volturno caught fire
in Mid-Atlantic and that the flames
ragged so furiously in the gale that
the steamer was abandoned on
Thursday morning.
The Volturno sailed from Rotter-
dam on October 2nd for New York,
via Halifax, where it was due to
stop next Monday. 1t is believed
that the steamer carried twenty four
cabin passengers, $40 steerage pas
sengers and a crew of ninety three
men
When the Carmania reached the

vicinity of the VOlturno at noon,
she found the forward end of the
distressed vessel burning fiercely.
The flaming ship was at the same
time rolling heavily, While her pro-
pellor was fouled with the boats
tackle used in lowering her six life
boats.
1t was learned by the captain OF
the Carmania, that two only OF the
six liteboats had succeeded in get
ing safely away from the Volturno.
The other four, crowded from stem
to stern with passengers and men,
bers of the crew, had been smashed
against the side Of the vessel and
all their occupants thrown into tho
yea and drowned.
About midnight, a ray of hope
came, for it was seen that the
flames were not making much head
way toward the engine room or
the after bulkhead of the Volturno.
By daybreak, the Volturno was still
floating with her great human cargo
hudded in masses on her top
The sea had moderated consider
ably by this time and a flotilla Of
boats gathered around the stern of
the Volturno.
Indications are that there were no

TEMPER JUSTICE
WITH MERCY
HUNGER JUSTlFlES THEFT OF
FOOD FOR WIFE AND STARVING
BABIES.

Yesterday morning in district court
W. A. Grant who lives near Glenn,
through his attorney entered plea Of
guilty to q charge of burglary and
upon recommendation of the county
attorney who asked for the leniency
of the court, he was sentenced to
serve six months in jail, with the
sentence suspended during good be-
havior
The circumstances in the case re-
veal the picture of a sturdy young
farmer with an invalid wife and four
small children. He, it seems was com
PEELED to neglect his work to take
care of her, and in short time funds
and provisions ran out and he was
compelled to resort to theft of food
in order to keep his wife and children
from starving.
According to his own statement he
entered neighbor's house and took
some lard and meat and information
was filed against him for burglary
He was arraigned and made bond for
his appearance. Some of the best
men in that section of the county in
terceded for him and yesterday, when
passing sentence, the court told him
that as long as he remained a good
citizen he would not be bothered, to
go home and do the best he could for
his family. In passing sentence Judge
Russell said that he hoped the time
would never come when he would be
compelled to resort to theft in order
to appease his or his family's hun
ger but if the time ever did come
he was inclined to believe that he,
too, would steal in order to satisfy
1t.
Yesterday morning the jury in the
case of the state VS.. r. F. Fogle,
charged with assault to kill, returned
a verdict of not guilty. This is the
case wherein the defendant shot at
