STEAMER VATERLAND
SANK TWO BARGES
Giant Liner Had Hard Time Getting
Out of Her Berth Today-Morgan
Liners Damaged.

NEW YORK, May %. - The great
steamship, Vaterland, which took near
ly four hours to dock when she came
to this port on her maiden voyage last
Thursday, sank two coal barges as she
steamed out of her berth today. Back
ing out under her own steam, her
momentum carried her across the Hud-
son and she slipped in between two
piers, where the coal barges, carrying
500 tons of coal each, were tied. Both
bargcs went down almost at once, but
no lives were lost.
The Naterland cut her way into the
slip almost to the shore and in backing
cut the water churued by her screws
snapped the lines which held two Nor
gan liners. These vessels crashed
against the side of the pier, damaging
their rails and woodwork.

JACOB A. RIIS DIED
TO-DAY AT BARRE HOME
Noted Author and Social Workes Had
Been Ill for Several Months
His Life.

Riis, author and social worker, died at
his summer home here today after a lin |
gering illness. Mrs. Riis and son were
st Mr.. Riis's bedside when the end came
at $50 this afternoon. Mr. Riis came
here about two weeks ago from sanato-
rum at Battle Greek, Mich, where he
had been a patient several months He
was suffering from heart trouble of long
standing. The journey proved too great
strain on the weakened heart and Mr..
Rlls collapsed in an automobile not far
from his summer home He rallied next
day, but soon became weak again. At first
he declined gradually but during the past
few days he grew worse rapidly and it was
thought yesterday that he might not live
through the night
Jacob August Riis became, through his
work IN behalf OF the poorer people of
New York, the most useful citizen of
the metropolis, according to tribute
once paid to him by Theodore Roosevelt,
his intimate friend.
As an almost penniIcss immigrant he
obtained knowledge of the slums at first
hand and found conditions there so repcl-
liant that he consecrated his whole life to
warfare against wretcheduess.
Rs was the 18th child of Latin
teacher ia Ribe, ,JutIand, Denmark He
was born IN 1919. Protesting at the lit
erary career which his father had cut out
for him, young Riis decided to work with
| bis hands and became a carpenters APP
prentice. The vocation he had chosen did
not prevent him, however, from FILLING
