SEVENTEEN OF
 CREW RESCUED
Five More of Sailors From Tank Steamer OaklahOma Brought 10
 New York.

New York, Jan. 6.-FNe O; the missing 27 of the crew of the oi' ta(rk steamer Oklahoma, which broke in two off Sandy Hook early Sunday, were brought into port alive today. They were picked up in d lifeboat Sunday afternoon by the Booth Line steamer Gregory, artec having been adrift six hours.
 The rescue of these men accounts for 1G of the Oklahoma's crew of 3S. eight having been rescued by the liner Bavaria and three found dead ia a lifeboat by the revenue cutter Seneca.
 The five sailors brought ill today confirm the story that the big tanke: parted amidship without warning. The weather was exceedingly stormy and enormous seas were breaking aboard when the vessel buckled, ap- parently suspended on two huge waves at stem and stern. Could Not Stop Engines
 Wilji Haaht, one of the rescued sailors was on deck at the time, hav- ing just come on watch. The engines could not be stopped. All the engine room force and those o1 the crew aft who were able, rushed to the decks.
 Two boats were gotten away. One was crammed full. Th.s presum- ably was the boat in which the reve- nue cutter cutter Seneca found three dead and none alive. The other boat the one in which the five were pick cd up continued eleven when it got away. Six were drowned after the craft had repeatedly capsized. When the five finally were taken aboard the Gregory their condition was pitiable.

The tribes of central Australia, the most primitive people in contact with modern civilization, have in a mythical serpent of gigantic size and magical attributes their nearest ap' proach to a deity.

 Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets furnish just those elements-pepsin and other ~ingredients-that the normal stomach secrets for the digestion or food.

 Prudent men always have box of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets on nanc. They make digestion certain no mat ter what or how much is eaten.

A Glorious Game

Mr. Snyder had just taken his seat when

agog with interest. says Tit-Bits. Five
minutes passed, and then he saw one
of the players lying on the ground. and
he rushed forward to see what had hap
pened.
Keep back, therel" shouted a police
man at him. "a
But man has been hurt,'
TITS only two broken ribs"
Ten minutes later another player was
left stranded. The cop had his eye on
Mr.. Synder. and said:
Keep right where Won are. He's simply
got his kneecap kicked off"
When the third man fell out Mr.. Snyder
rose up in his excitement, but the Of
ficer shook his fist at him and said:
only a broken leg. and he's proud
of it. You seem to be as nervous as a
woman"
But they are being hurt! There's an.

PROPOSED RADIUM
BILL is ATTACKED

Washington. February 16-Federal in
reference in the radium industry as
proposed in pending bills was attacked
today as 'paternalistic government Of
fensive to 80 per cent Of the people of the
west" by William II. King. former mem
ber of Congress from Utah. before the
Senate mines committee. Mr.. King ap-
peared for the American Radium company
of Pennsylvania. which, he said, had
solved the problem of radlum production
within the last few months and would put
II to 10 grams OF the precious substance
ON the market this year. Other companies
were forming and would form, he said,
il the government kept its hands off. and
the price of radium be fixed at close to
its actual value by natural competition.
Thomas Curran, a Colorado mining op-
orator. told the committee that monopoly
of radium lands was Il physical impossl-
bility because of their extent. He said
he was selling abroad the output of his
mines at a better price than 1t would
bring in the United States, and that Euro
pean factories would be forced to close
down il the American ore supply were
cut off At present he added, the indus
try was In state of suspended anima-
tion because of the threat of federal in
reference.
The hearing will continue tomorrow

Where Il Rains Some

From the chicago Evening Post.
For nine months of the year II rains
some" on the Isthmus Of Panama. The
precipitation of one month not long ago
was 50 inches. This broke even the Pan
anna rainy season record and nothing like
it has occurred since. but with sometime,
like an average of - feet of rainfall IN
nine months the isthmus can keep up a.
showing of dampness without being wor-
ried about an ability to live up to soak
ing records.
Gatun lake, the artificial body of water
created by Lieut. Col. william L. Sibert
by the hard process of danming the I'M
ruly Chagres river, is now. at the close
of the rainy season, at the high level
which the army officer predicted 1t would
reach. The Chagres pouring into the val
ley loads the lake, but the rains made
the Chagres. For the next three months
ling rill, but enough water has been stored
to keep the lake level as It Is until the
rains descend and the floods come once
more as they have descended and come
uninterruptedly ever since the day of
Balboa, and since how long before no.
body knows.
The United States government has built
a lock canal across the Istnmus of Pam
anna. A sea-leyel waterway would have
been imperative If the skies above the
isthmus were not in the habit of weep
ing day in and day out for nine-tenths of
the year. Some of the Pana1nanians
through the years probably looked upon
the drenchings as curse, but commerce
must look upon them as a Dressing. Every
mile of the way through the canal ex-
cept for the comparatively short dis.
tances of the ocean approaches, the trad
Ing ships of the world will sail through
fresh rain water All water is rain water.

1t seems as II liquid differentiation

While the district attorneys office
would neither confirm nor deny that
Schmidt had made such confession, II
was in effect admitted that a member
of District Attorney Whitman's staff had

district attorney that his story could be

When the Aumuller woman died, the ex-
priest is alleged to have said, those al

acts of insanity were stimulated
