LARGEST SHIP AFl0A1 CATCHES FIRE AT

FIRE STARTED IN PROVISION ROOM.

New York, N. Y, Aug. 2S.-The
steamship lmperiator, the largest yes

day as she lay at her dock in Hoboken
with her crew and 1131 steerage pas
sengers aboard.
Second Officer Gobrecht who led the
crew into the hold to fight the flames
was cut off from his men and suffo-
Gated His body was found an hour
afterwards, untouched by fire, and
brought ashore.
Seaman Otto Stumps, one of the
party who went down with Gobrecht
into the bow of the vessel was serious
ly injured.
A fleet of fire fighting craft, aug.
mented by apparatus on shore. sur
rounded the ship and poured tons OF
water into her hold When the fire
was checked at o'clock the great
vessel had listed fifteen degrees.
The small army in the steerage,

ling of flames, rushed, panic stricken,
for the pier Most of them spent the
remainder of the night, huddled in dis
comfort, at the shore end on the pier.
None of the steerage passengers
had been inspected by the customs or
health authorities Because of this,
armed guards surrounded them. The
immigration authorities rushed them
to Ellis Island this forenoon.
The great ship was dark with all
on board asleep, when smoke, ascend
ing from the provision room, was dis
covered simultaneously by a seaman
on deck and petty officer on the
bridge. Almost at the same moment
the cracking of flames was heard in
the steerage quarters.

the bids submitted previously for the
Pennsylvania. now building.
Secretary Daniels held up all tht
bids and asked the officials of the
Midvale. Bethlehem and Carnegie
companies to confer with him.
THE secretary is desirous of learn

figures in their bids 1t looks like

These gentlemen profess that no

engaged in any such combination

standing as is prohibited by the naval

Without delving at this time into the
cause of this surprising coincidence
in uniformity of bids, the department
