"If the mine owners can work the con- victs to an advantage and profit as q great many of them are doing, see no reason why this county and state could not do so.

pr. Burr Fereuson

T am very much in favor of working oonvicts on the roads, said pr. Burr ficials have tried them out and they have demonstrated their efficiency when it comes to that class of work. There has been more accomplished in good road work since the convicts have been placed at this task than ever before in the his- tory of this county. I am convinced that else the county officials would not have continued the work this far. There Is one thing indisputable and that 10 tho few convicts that have been worked have been able to do more with our roads to- wards new construction and maintenance than was ever done before. Even if they are a little more expensive than common labor as some maintain there is no dis putting the fact that the convicts have done something and have accomplished good results.

Barons Score Two

After holding the Browns well in check during the first part of the second. the Barons resumed their attack on Hamil ton and by consistent work touched him for three hits and two runs.
 Clyde Mcbride inaugurated the attack with single to center, coming home on a hit by Edwards over second base. Ed wards took third, when Hamilton inter- fered at first base with an attempt to catch Tragesser, and came home on an error by Third Baseman Austin.
 On the play Tragesser succeeded in reaching second, only to be caught off the base moment later and run down by Austin and Hollander. Ellam fol- lowed with hit to right but Johnson struck out and Marcan rolled slow one to Hamilton on the mound, bringing the uprising to a conclusion.
 Johnson held the Browns well in hand until the fifth, allowing only two hits but here Dame Fortune deserted him and tEe Browns fell on hss delivery without reercy. Successive three-baggers by Ham ilton and Messenger, two-bagger by Williams and singles by Austin and Cov- ington netted four runs.

Opening the game with a hot drive through the pitchers box into center field, Bob Messenger started the Baron mounds man the downward grade and before the excitement subsided two counters had been showed across. Pilfering the key stone bag in a handy fashion, the ex- Baron romped home on a terrific smash into center for three bags by Ernest Walker, another ex-Southerner Williams. who also owes allegiance to the circuit presided over by Judge Kavanaugh, was given his base by Johnson, but not be- ing satisfied copped second and opened the way for a second run.

 Taking advantage of the precarious situation Williams annexed third base also, but the pleasure Of crossing the plate was denied him as Johnson pulled himself together and struckout both Der Till Pratt and Austin, two of the most dangerous hitters on the Brown team, in rapid succession. Covington ended the inning by grounding out to Marcan.
 The hopes of the BArons to overhaul the Browns went skyward in thel first, when Marean, first up, reached first on an error by Walker but Herndon Magee and Knisely were retired in order and the diminutive Baron keystone guardian was left stranded on base.

STEFANSSON'S CREW
 SAVED INSTRUMENTS
Exploring Ship Karluk Crushed in
 Arctic Near Harald Island.- Men Marooned on Island

Seattle, Wash, June 1.-CabIe dis patches from St. Michael and Nome, Alaska, indicate that when Vilhjalmar Stefansson's exploring ship Karluk was crushed in the Arctic near Har- aid Island, northeast of Siberia, Jan. 16 last, the men saved all their in struments, supplies, dogs and food and left only the crushed hulk and its coal cargo when they headed east over the ice to camp on Wrangel Island. Er. ..s
 The experience of the Karluk proves that the drift of the ice sheet from Point Barrow is not northerly Both Stefansson and Amundsen had believed that a ship entering the pack at Point Barrow would be carried across the pole and to Greenland. Probably the shipwrecked men passeo the winter In comfort, having dogs to carry them on hunting expeditions.
 It is expected that the Canadian government will authorize Robert A. Bartlett, who is at St. Michael where he arrived after dog team and sea journey from Wrangel Island, to en- gage ship to go to the island and bring off the eighteen men marooneo there. Boring sea is now navigable over it's whole area and the whaler Herman, the relief ship most avail- able, should be able to enter the Arc- tic soon.

 BY GAS EXPLOSION
Seven Other Workmen Injured by Tragedy at Boston Sewage
 . Pumping Station.

Boston, June 1.-Two men were killed and seven others dangerously injured by an explosion of sewer gas at a sewage pumping station in East Boston today.
 The men killed were Martin Dever- eux of Roxbury and Thomas Butler of East Boston, -...a
 Cornelius Sullivan of Brooklyn and James McGovern of East Boston were probably fatally hurt and less serious injuries were received by Henry D. Wright of Winthrop, Michael Byrne and James Grouk of Roxbury and Philip Haley and Elmer c. Clifford of East Boston.
 The scene of the accident is on the bank of Chelsea Creek, near the bridge connecting East Boston and Chelsea. The explosion occurred in the screen house. an annex to the main building and is believed to have been due to escaping sewer gas being ignited by a gasoline torch which the workmen were using. The force of the explosion was terrific. The screen house was demolished and por- tions of the machinery, door and win-. dow castings and other debris was blown more than 200 yards. The main building was badly damaged.

 .a,1.- and l.. F. & c.

After failing in his first attempt upon Miss Julia Berlin of Dwight Court, swarthy looking foreigner walked up to Miss Mary Kilduff of 32 Dwight street as she was proceeding to her work along the railroad tracks be- tween Stanley and Elm streets shortly before o'clock this morning, and de- liberately grabbed her by the neck. He was about to throw her to the ground when she screamed to her father, Daniel Kilduff who was walk ing a few paces ahead of her. a f
 A mad chase followed, the foreigner taking refuge in a lumber pile at the rear of the Skinner Chuck company's s plant. It was thought at first that he was hiding upstairs in the Skinner Chuck building for he was seen to run up the stairs. Officer Cosgrove, who had been summoned, and several other men in the vicinity searched the grounds thoroughly, but could find no trace of the offender
 An Italian told the officer that he had seen man answering the descrip- ton of the refugee leap from a lum- Der pile near the factory and run up the tracks in northerly direction. Myer P.s Caplan, manager of the New Britain club of the Pennington Valley league, was walking near the round house on Elm street with a female relative this noon when a foreigner grabbed the girl and att tempted to hug her. Caplan, who used to be a professional boxer, land- ed right to the jaw and the girls assailant went down. He Jumped up again but Caplan stuck to his task and soon had him begging for mercy. Officers Kemmerer and Cosgrove hap pened along and with the help of Cap Ian the hugger was placed in an auto mobile and started for police head quarters On the way to the station he fought and bit and kicked but was finally landed before the desk. He gave his name as Margos Mar gosian He has been in police court several times for assaulting his fam fly. s-
 Margosian's daughter made a rope of stockings several months ago when her father threatened to kill her mother and climbed to the ground from a third story window. Margo- sian is thought to be demented.
 Margosian has a long court record
 On July IA, 1908 he was arrested for assault, being given ten-day jail sentence in addition to fine of ten dollars and costs Later he was brought in as an insane man. At this time, the court turned him over . to his friends. Almost three years elapsed before he was heardA of again; this time for assault, his old game. The judge sent him up for sixty days and charged him costs. March 5. 1914 found him facing the Judge for breach of the peace. The court irn- posed a sentence of fifteen days and suspended judgment. This sentence was revived,, however, when, on March IA of this year he was arr rested for violating his probation.

.STORSTAD'S ANCHOR JAMMED IN BOW
 Sharp Point Projected From Steel Like Great Can Opener.
SPOTTED WITH STAINS OF BLOOD
Twenty Plates Forward of Collier Sprung by Collision, but Aft of Ship Undamaged-Capt. Andersen Deep ly GrieVed over Tragedy.

Montreal June 1.-The sharp point of an anchor projecting from the twisted bow of the Norwegian collier Storstad may explain why that ves- el did such terrible execution when she rammed the Empress of Ireland last Friday morning on the lower St Lawrence. An examination today of the collier's shattered plates revealed the anchor damned in a position where it could have ripped through the hull of the Empress like great can opener. The anchor point and portions of the battereds steel around it bore stains of blood
 Pilot Nault, who nayigated the Storstad up the St. Lawrence from Quebec, said today that Captain An- dersen told him that his first officer and Pilot Lechance, who brought the Storstad from Father Point to Que bee, were on the bridge at the time of the collision. ..s.s.
 Twenty Plates Sprung.
 E On the way up the river" con- tinued Nau1t, "an examination was made to ascertain the extent of the damage done to the Storstad AS far as we could learn twenty plates for ward had been sprung, but aft of that the ship was undamaged. At Quebec the Storstad took in so much water that we were obliged to flood the aft compartments in order to keep the ships bow up. There was no water in the hold of the Storstad.
 Captain Andersen is deeply grieved over the tragedy. Several times during the trip from Quebec I came upon him crying with his face buried in his hands. u& Warned to Be Silent.
 Captain Andersen told me he had been instructed not to talk about the accident But he did say that after picking up the survivors from the water, he, his wife and his crew did everything in their power to make them comfortable" a
 One of the officers of the Storstad said that:
 "At the time of the disaster I was lying in my bunk. I was awakened by a shock and at first thought the ship had struck rock. I ran to the deck and looked over the side. The Storstad was going full speed astern. The water around was filled with struggling men and women shouting for. help. Boats were im- mediately lowered and there was not man on the Storstad who did not do his utmost to help rescue the peo- pie in the water. We in the boats brought the survivors to the deck of the Storstad. From there they were taken into the engine room, the warmest place on board. Some of the survivors had been so numbed by the ice cold water that they leaned up against the cylinders of the en- zines until their flesh was blistered."

WHO CLAIMS THIS
 SUITaOF CLOTHES?
Complete Wardrobe of Some Man Found Beside House on Erwin
 Place-Did Owner Forget?


 Somewhere in this city, somebody is minus a suit of clothes, which he evil denly forgot to put .on after spending a few hours of repose Saturday night alongside of Patrick McCormick's S house on Erwin place. If he happens to be so situated that he can reach the police station conveniently and give a good account of himself, he can re- cover said wardrobe.
 The complete outfit which consists of a coat, trousers, socks, a pair of shoes, stockings, a collar, tie and brown soft hat, was found by H. J. Kane of Sexton street, who happened to run around Mr. McCormiok's house about g o'clock last evening as he was making call. After calling the mat ter to the attention of the family liv- ing in the house, he turned the clothes over to Officer Quirk, who looked like a clothing store as he walked to head quarters to make his report.
 In the pockets were found s3.70 in cash and receipt for SIS, which was signed by Beyer, the tailor.
 Mrs. Mccormick told Officer Quirk that sine heard someone snoring under her window Saturday night and the police are inclined to the opinion that the owner of the clothes undressed in the yard, took a sleep and. upon walk iEg, walked away withoW dressing, either because it was too hot or be- cause of his faulty memory.
