SHIPS FORM BAIT LINE
TO AID LAz|NG VESSEL


I which continued throughout the
night.
All OF the vessels were brilliantly
lighted. but only two searchlghts
were used owing TO the danger Of
| binding the men on the bridges.
These lights were from the Carmania.
One Of these was kept on the Vol
turno while the other played about
over the ocean.
Confer by Wireless.
All through the night the captains
kept up a conference by means OF
tho wireless. While numerous plans
were suggested each calling for a
desperate attempt to reach the burn
ing liner, all Of these were abandoned
and IL was decided that the only hope
lay in the chance that the gale would
abate and the sea subside some
what.
But through each hour of the night
the gale swept over the sea, tossing
great waves at the vessels, causing
them to roll and pitch so that they
were nearly half out Of the ~vater. As
the hurricane swept over the Volturno
gusts of sparks and frequently burn
ing masses would be sent whirling
away over the water. But while the
force of the gale prevented any at
tempt at removing the passengers
and crew from the VolturnO 1t also
caused the waves to drench the decks
Of the burning vessel and made life
on the floating furnace possible.
Shortly before dawn the watchers
on the vessels which formed the
circle were appalled, to see an i'm
mense flame shoot up from about the
middle OF the Nolturno. An instant
later this was followed by a report
which could be heard on al of the
vessels. When the mass Of flame and
burning material had settled down II
was seen that a great rent had been
torn i'm the burning vessel This was
later learned to have been caused by
an explosion Of the boilers.
Passengers Work Pumps.
Up to this time the crew assisted
by many of the male passengers had
put up a steady fight against the
flames. For a long time the steam
pumps had been used to flood the
holds and when the heat in the fire
room became unbearable the hand
pumps were put into action. Many
of'the passengers took their turn at
these pumps and it was by the use
Of these that the flames were pre-
vented from reaching the after-holds

LIVERPOOL. oct. 11.-Captain
Barr, of the Carmania. reported by
wireless tonight that several at
tempts had been made by different
vessels in the rescue fleet TO lduncn
lifeboats during the long vigil around
the Volturno, but all attempts had
been unsuccessful, on ones occasion
a boat from the Carmania was in the
water more than an hour. but the
sailors became exhausted in their ef-

vessel through the rolling sea and
the mate who was in command of the
boat put back TO the Carmania.
on another occasion a boat from
one Of the other vessels was capsize1
a short distance from where II was
launched. Fortunately another llte-
boat was close by and the men were
picked up.
The wireless accounts received
here tonight differ as to how the
1876 lost their lives. Many accounts
state that many persons were either
killed in the eXplosio nor blown from
the deck of the Nolturno and were
drowned.
Saw Bodies in Air.
one captain asserted that he couid
see many bodies flying through the
air following the explosion. The be-
lief that many had been blown from
the ship was so strong at this time
that scores OF lifebuoys with tights
attached were set adrift in the hope
that some OF those who had been
blown from the ship would be able to
reach them in the dark. At the
same time the searchlight from the
Carmanid swept the surrounding wa
ters for trace of any bodies. Several
times objects believed to be bodies
we're seen, but none of these was re-
covered.
About 90 persons climbed into a
lifeboat lashed to the davits near the
stern and ut various times during the
night men and women were seen TO

a pharmacist, who recently came to

aid. If the flyers had been more
expert. am beginning now to
realize more and more the danger
through which Captain Beck passed
during the first days of his flying,
and his relative security now"
Mrs. Beck's pride is great in her
husbands achievements as an army
aviator She maintains a considera-
bic library of newspaper clippings
concerning his flights and expert
ments, and of pamphlets and papers
that he was written. And there are
hundreds of photographs.
Captain Beck really has done much,
and, careful student of aviation, is
working out further plans for expert
ments and for organization. He is
firm in the belief that there should be
a separate corps for aviation, and has
written papers to that end.

MRS. KEEFER
To APPEAL HER
AE|MONY SUIT.
Plaintiff Frankly Admits on Stand
That She Smokes, Drinks
and Swears.

Mrs. Grace Macy Keefer. prom
inent society woman, probably will
take an appeal to the higher courts
from the decision OF Judge Bell denv-
ing her suit against David H Keefar
for alimony.
The decision came Saturday. fol-
lowing sensational testimony from
Mrs. Keefer, her son, Jack Macy and
from her divorced husband.
Mrs. KeefeF was frank, and her
frankness probably was the biggest
factor in the defeat of her own sui,
To questions by her husbands Law
yers she replied that she swears At
times, smokes cigarettes at times and
drinks at times.
Swearing is commonplace" shs
said, frankly. Nearly everybody does
it."
However. she said she did not
swear at her husband except when
he started swearing at her. She said
that sometimes he called her vile
names.
Her husband, on the stand later
denied some of his alleged actions
but admitted that he had slapped Mrs
Keefer after she called him a dirty
turkey buzzard,' because, She
charged, he had listened to her con
versation over the telephone.
Mrs. Keefer said she formed the
cigarette habit through her associa.
ton with Keefer, and that, although
serving wines on her table, she was
never intoxicated until her husband
brought home some cocktails that
were drugged.
Mrs. Keefer's charges that her hus-
band swore at her and at her daugh-
ter, Elinor Macy, were upheld by the
statement of her son when he took
the stand. Jack Macy told of the
fight with his stepfather at a local
club because Keefer cursed his sis
ter.
Mrs. Keefer declared she had prac-
tically supported Keefer and her chill
dren since 1906, from the estate of her
first husband. She said that now her
holdings amount to only about Sly $40
Her suit was for $4,000 a year per-
manent alimony.
Judge Bell, however, held that she
was entitled to neither alimony nor
attorneys fees, and adjudged that
she should pay the costs of litigation
