was captured by the Germans when
the French army surrendered at Sedan
and was taken to Germany as pris-
oner, but escaped and served with dis
tinction in the army Of the Loire in
the late campaign.
M. De Roulede was lover of all
kinds of sports and was much feared
as an opponent in personal combats.

the duelling pistol.

DO you know the ward in which you

voter who has recently moved here
where he should 90 to vote? This
question occurs to many after chang
Ing residence to another ward.
The manner in which the ward
limits of Ottumwa are cut up often
leads to perplexity on the part OF the
new resident at election time. There
Is also great many of the long time
residents who are unable to define the
boundaries Of the wards and even they
too when changing residence from one
ward into another are sometimes at
loss to know just where they should
vote While there Is no record of any
great number of Instances where any
one has voted in the wrong ward, 1t
Is nevertheless true that election
judges and registration boards have
often to set the voter right.
There is no guide for the voter to
direct him as to the ward limits and
the political parties in canvassing the
voters Of the various wards are gem

PROTEST is LODGED
AGAINST NEW RATE

Washington, d. c.. Jan. 3O.--Protest
Of -four shippers against the proposed
general five per cent freight rate In
crease were laid today before the in
terstate commerce commission.
Several protestants have taken the
position that the carriers disclosed
nothing as to each particular commod-
ity to justify an advance. Since the
statutes place the burden of proof, on
the carriers, the protestants refused
to present any evidence. reserving the
right to attack the specific rates later,
should any advance be granted.

Wireless Telegraph Brings
Full Story Of Another
Disaster at Sea
LARGE STEAMER is
RAMMED AMIDSHIPS
Smaller Vessel, Damaged.
Stands BY and Saves as
Many as Possible

Norfolk, Va, Jan. 30.-Bearing eigh
ty-five survivors Of the Old Dominion
liner Monroe, and the death story o1
forty-eight more, the Merchants anG
Miners steamship Nantucket came into
port here late today. The eighty.five
survivors brought a story of suffering
and sudden death from the sea-
With a heavy canvas covering hel
crumpled bow, and with partially
shifted cargo, causing a list to star
board, the Nantucket docked while
several thousand persons waited fol
the survivors. Many of the rescued
stood on the deck wrapped in blank
cts. Two died on board after being
rescued. They were Mrs. Thomas Har
rington, daughter Of J. Kelly of Nor
walk, Conn.,, and Lieut.. Legrand b
Curtis of the Second coast artillery.
Mrs. Harrington's body had been plac.
ed in temporary coffin and was borne
from the Nantucket.
Her husband refused to leave until
the body had been brought ashore.
Thomas Harrington Of Bridge port,
Conn, the woman's husband, told a
thrilling story of the wreck. Harring-
ton and his wife were long in the wa
ter and the man was swimming with
her when they were picked up. Mrs.
Harrington died from exhaustion. Rep.
resentatives of the press were all bar
red from the Nantucket when she
landed. 1t was explained by e. G.
Law, general agent of the Merchants
and Miners transportation company,
that this was by order of r. E. lamp
ley, local steamboat inspector By
some of the rescued leaning over the
deck rail of the Nantucket, it was told
to the newspaper men on the wharf
that the Nantucket racket and rammed
the Monroe in a dense fog at 2 a. m
today and that the Monroe careened
and turned turtle within ten or twelve
minutes after the impact.
AS the Monroe turned on her side
some of the passengers and crew
crawled over on the upper side of the
vessel and walked on this but were
washed off as the steamer went to the
bottom.
But for the fact that there had been
time to adjust life preservers, many
more lives would have been lost. AS
it was those rescued remained in the
water from half to three-quarters of an
hour before they were rescued.
