SEALERS PERISH
ON ICE FL0Es
Death Travelled in a Terrific
Blizzard.
OVER 1000 MEN ESCAPE
Fur Hunters OF New Foundland Miles
Away From Vessel When Storm
Struck Them Survivors
Reached Just In Time.

st. Johns, N. F.-Death travelled in
gale that overlook the sealing fleets
about here. The steamer Newfound-
land lost 64 of her crew, 81 being
rescued by the steamers Ballaventure
and the Florizel, which were sent out
to search for the men.
Great alarm was felt for the steamer
Southern Cross, with a crew of ITO
men, which has not been reported
since she passed Cape Pine, bound in,
but which it was learned from WIRE
less messages, to be safe at Channel,
Newfoundland.
The men lost were far from their
ships killing seals when the storm,
with binding snow, swooped down
upon them. They were exposed for
48 hours before assistance arrived, and
in that time many succumbed.
The Newfoundland was one of a
fleet of Is ships, carrying more than
1000 men, scattered among the ice
foes near Belle Isle Strait. The
crews were on the foes hunting seals,
which have their homes on these
crystal plains, and the hunt had taken
them from four to six miles from their
ships.

BURNS REPORT
CLEARS FRANK
Detective Says He Knows Who
Killed Mary Phagan.
DECLARES FRANK NORMAL
Investigator Does Not So. Definitely
That Convicted Man Is Not
Factory Employees
Slayer.

Chicago, Ill.-William ]. Burns, the
detective, declared here that he knew
who murdered Mary Phagan, the At
lanta (Ca.) girl for whose death Leo
M. Frank is under sentence of death.
Whether the murderer was Frank or
someone else, in his opinion, Burns
would not say, but he intimated that
from his Investigations and comparing
their results with the results of the
coroner's jury, he did not think Frank
the sort of man capable of making the
attack on the girl alleged to have pre-
ceded her murder.
Burns, on his arrival from Kansas
City, related this of his investigation.
He said his attention had first been
called to the case by young man from
Atlanta who was a passenger on a
steamer on which Burns was return
ing from Europe. The young man ex-
pressed his regret that Burns had not
become interested in the case before
the arrest and conviction of Frank.
Through him Burns read in newspa-
pers of the trial and concluded, from
the accounts he saw. that Frank was
guilty. Later, while he was in Key
West, three citizens of Atlanta, includ-
ing two personal friends of Frank, saw
the detective and asked him to under
take an investigation of the case.
Frank Not Abnormal.
At first, Burns said, he refused on
the ground that if Frank were guilty
his investigation and final conclusion
to that effect could only hurt the de-
fendant, while if the investigation
tended to show doubt of Franks guilt,
it might serve to thwart justice.
Franks friends here declared that they
believed he had not been given fair
trial; that he was innocent of the
crime, but that if guilty they wanted
indisputable evidence of his guilt.
Burns then took the case. His in
vestigations soon showed him, he said,
first, that public clamor, after crime
wave, had resulted in the police max
ing extraordinary efforts to adduce evi-
dence tending to convict Frank, and
second. that a report making out
Frank a man of abnormal character
istics was commonly circulated
through the city, putting public opin-
ion strongly against him.
His inquiries then convinced Burns
that Frank was perfectly normal
man. On the other hand, the testi-
mony of physicians was to the effect
that the one who attacked Mary
Phagan was abnormal.

THE LEGISLATURE
ADJOURNS SINE DIE
Floors and Galleries of Senate
and House Thronged.
SILVER FOR THE OFFICERS
Handsome Tokens OF Esteem Pre-
sented To President Price
and Speaker
Tr:ppe.

State House.-The Maryland legisla-
day morning. The closing scenes at
tending the dissolution of the legisla-
ture session of 1914 were not unlike
those witnessed in previous years.
Both houses were packed to overflow
ing early in the evening, the fair sex
being largely in evidence on the floor
and in the galleries. A number of the
senators and delegates had their wives
and daughters in attendance and these
were reinforced by the ladies Of An
napolis, so that the feminine represen-
tation was all that could be desired.
In the committees there was the
usual hurrying and scurrying by the
many interested in measures that re-
manned to be disposed of, and which
were either awaiting action or hanging
fire. A corps of policemen, headed by
Lieutenant Sam House, arrived early
and was stationed in the corridors,
where they preserved order and pre-
vented a rush. In the Executive Cham
Der above crowds were coming and 60
ing, the Governor, affable as usual, re-
ceiving all callers.
So dense was the throng that it was
nearly 10 o'clock before the Senate be-
gan to wind up the business in hand,
and the wheels OF legislation were soon
hammering and continued to move
until the end, interrupted by the cere-
monies attending the presentations of
silver to the presiding officer and the
floor leaders In the Senate.
Beautiful Presents.
The silver sets presented to the
Speaker of the House and the Presi-
dent of the Senate were manufactured
by Jenkins & Jenkins, silversmiths, S38
North Charles street, Baltimore, and
every piece was made in Baltimore.
The orders for the sets were secured
by Mr.. J. B. Joyner, member of the
Arm of Jenkins G. Jenkins, and this
marks the first time that one concern
secured both orders for silver for the
officers of the two branches of the leg
lslature. In workmanship, the sets are
second to none, each and every piece
showing the most exquisite chasing
and finish. The pattern of both sets is
rose and daisy, and it is of Old Balti-
more repousse silver.

TARIFF FORECAST CORRECT.
May Not Reduce Customs Revenue
Any More Than Expected.

Washington, D. C.-The Underwood
Simmons tariff act went into effect six
months ago and present indications are
that 1t will not reduce customs revenue
any more than was estimated in Con-
gress at the time of passage. Accord
ing to the Treasury's March statement
customs revenues amounted to about
$26,000,000, which is about $1,500,000
less than the Payne-Aldrich law pro-
duced in March, 1918. That was
marked increase over February, when
revenues fell over S10,000,000 COM
pared to the same month of 1913.

ONLY ONE NURSE REMAINS.
Villa Declared To Have Been the
Spirit OF the Battle-How He
Buoyed Up the Courage
OF His Men.

Torreon, Mex. - This city, from
which Gen. Refugio Velasco and most
of the uninjured of his command fed
was occupied by the rebels in force
and the work of burning the bodies of
the dead, clearing away the wreckage
of shell-shattered abode walls, street
barricades and barbed wire entangle-
ments was begun.
When Villa took considerable num-
ber of prisoners Velasco escaped from
the Canyon de Huarche with con-
siderable proportion of his force. He
was pursued by Gen. Hernandez, who
reported that he had fought small
mar guard engagement with the re-
treating force, and later Gen. Villa
with re-enforcements left here to make
un attempt to capture or annihilate 1t.
Non-combatants here, estimated
Velasco's garrison did not number
more than FIVE thousand men, of whom
1900 were killed or wounded When
velasco fled he left behind in the mill
tary hospital two hundred wounded.
When the rebels entered the place
they found only one nurse, Dorothea
de la Cruz, in attendance. She said
that the other nurses followed the
army.
Wounded Cheer Villa.
The patients were in high state of
anxiety, for they had been told that
Villa took no prisoners. They were
reassured by IS. Cunard Cummings,
the British Consul, at Gomez Palacio,
who entered the hospital first, climbing
over the bodies of the wounded who
had died there. The air was foul with
the odor CT dried blood. The British
official announced that Villa had as
sured him Lone of the wounded would
be harmed. Those who had the
strength raised themselves on their
elbows from pallets on the floor and
from their cots and cried feeble
"Viva Villa"
The nurse was soothing dying pa
tient, when with Ills last breath, joined
the cheering and then sank back dead.
Persons who say they were eye-wit-
nesses declare that Velasco summarily
executed three Spanlards whom he ac-
cused of firing on his troops. The wife
of one of these, Lotero Lopez, at
tempted to shield her husband and
the same bullet killed both.
Three hundred and fifty Spaniards,
including women and children, took
refuge in a bank building under the
protection of American Consul Ulmer,
who remained in town throughout the
battle. The insurgents have shown
no disposition to harm those Spaniards
who are known to have remained
neutral Other foreigners, including
ffty-five Chinese, SyTians and
Austrians and 100 Americans were un-
harmed so far as could be learned.
1t was reported that Gen. Velasco
himself was wounded, but this report,
like the one that he went insane in
the trenches, could not be confirmed
and the impression prevails that he is
still at the head of his troops. Two
federal generals were killed and three
wounded.
On Verge OF Mutiny.
It is said here that Velasco's re-
treat was brought about by his losses

BARRED
FROM THE NAVY
Sweeping Order Issued by
Secretary Daniels.
WINE MESS is ABOLISHED.
One Rule For Officers and Men-Be-
Iieves Restrictions viii Decrease.
Number Of Courts-Martial
For Drunkenness.

Washington, D. C.-Absolute prohi-
bition will prevail in the United States
Navy after July next.
Secretary Daniels made public a
sweeping order, which not only will
abolish the traditional wine mess" of
the officers, but will bar all alcoholic
drinks from every ship and shore sta
tion of the navy.
This order, constituting one of the
most notable victories won by the pro-
hibition forces, was issued upon the
recommendation of Surgeon General
Braisted.
After July / the officers, young and
old, will either have to learn to like
grape juice or go thirsty. The tradi-
tions of more than a century are to
dry up in the drought. The order reads
as follows:
"The use or introduction for drinking
purposes of alcoholic liquors on board
any naval vessel or within any navy
yard or station is strictly prohibited,
and commanding officers will be held
directly responsible for the enforce
ment of this order.".
Before announcing the new rule Sec
retary Daniels asked for an opinion
from Surgeon-General Braisted. The
latter strongly urged the putting into
effect of such an order, calling atten-
tion to the numerous courts-martial of
officers for drunkenness and the effects
of alcohol, which, in the opinion Of the
Surgeon-General, have been destructive
of discipline and morale.
Wants Same Rule For All.
In making public the order SECRETARY
Daniels said:
81 am in hearty agreement with the
views expressed by the Surgeon-Gen-
eral in his paper accompanying the
recommendation. There should not be
on shipboard, with reference to intoxi-
cants, one rule for officers and another
and a different rule for the enlisted
personnel. The saddest hour in my off,
cial life is when an officer or enlisted
man must be punished for intoxication.
During the last week it has been my
painful duty to approve court-martial
for dismissal from the service of an
officer for intoxication.
HE told me that he had never tasted
Intoxicating drink until he did so in the
wine mess on his cruises. Others who
have been disciplined for drinking to
excess have made similar statements
to me.
VIII Remove Temptation.
"Oficers are now commissioned at
the early age of % years. Has the
Government a right to permit this
temptation, which too often destroys
the highest usefulness of young Off
GERS? / think not. If there is one pro
fession more than any other that calls
for clear head and steady hand, il
is the naval profession. Experience has
shown the wisdom of having no intoxi
cants on our ships for the young men
who enlist. l believe that experience
has demonstrated that uniform rule
should prevail in the navy for all who
enlist in the service from the highest
rank to the youngest enlisted man OF
officer who comes into the service and
that the abolition of the wine mess will
be justified"
