Bradley Denounces
Wilson's Policy as
Weak and Uncertain

WASHINGTON, May 6.-That all ma
tons will know that the repeal-of the
Panama tolls exemption law will be done
to purchase Immunity for a continuation
of watchful waiting In Mexico" was
charged in the senate today by Senator
Bradley Of Kentucky, opposing the repeal
bill.
III the United States is lacking in in
fluence or standing today" said he, lit is
not on account of the tolls question, but
because OF it's weak vRcillating and I'm
certain policy of 'watchful waiting with
Mexico. II we abandon our sovereignty
over the canal to Great Britain, all ,ther
nations will know we are doing it with
the purpose Of purchasing immunity for
a continuation Of our 'watchtul waiting
policy. under which we accomplish moth
ing, and under which there can be no
peace.
II agree that the president has been
actuated by an honest endeavor to pro-
cure peace and a constitutional govern
ment in Mexico. The trouble, however,
is that his ideals are too exalted to be
realized. There is too much Ignorance,
too much of Unsuitable ambition, too
much rapine, too much Of butchery. You
might as we'll try to establish a Sunday
school In hell as real constitutional gov
ernment in Mexico, by Mexicans."
Senator Bradley declared that the pres-
dents message asking for the repeal was
nothing short OF an insult to the mem
bers Of congress, who voted for the pres
ent law"

SAILORS PICKED UP AT SEA
Twenty-Seven Men from Burning
Steamer Are Saved.
NINETEEN ARE STILL MISSING
Vessel which Was Destroyed of
Cape sable IL the FreiEhter
Columbia of the Ley-
land Line,

SABLE ISLAND, N. s., May 6.--Captain
Mcdonald and thirteen members OF the
crew OF the British, steamer Columbian,
burned at sea. were saved by the steamer
Manhattan. A wireless dispatch to this
effect was received from the Manhattan
by the Marconi station here early today.
The Columbian was owned by the Ley
land line. but was chartered TO the
Phoenix line for voyage from Antwerp
TO New York. IT carried no passengers.
The Manhattan, bound from New York
for Antwerp, had been near the scene OF
the burning OF the Columbian for some
hours and was known to be searching
for boats containing members OF the
Columbians crew. Its success was an
nounced in the following message:
Manhattan picked up one boat Of Co
lumbar, captain and thirteen others.
One engineer killed in explosion and one
man drowned leaving. The Manhattan
still searching for other boats"
The rescue. 1t was added. was made
early this morning in h.1e north latitude
and 59.35 west longitude.
Yesterday the Cunard liner Franconia
picked up one Of the Columbians boats
containing thirteen men and the body of
Chief Steward Matthews. so that twenty
seven in all have been rescued alive. The
other missing boat, for which the Man
haitian and other steamers are still
searching, contains the first and second
officers and seventeen men.
The steamer Columbian, bound from
Antwerp for New York, caught fire at
sea Sunday night. According to the wire
less advices from the Franconia, which
rescued the first boat OF survivors, the
flames spread quickly and were followed
by explosions which necessitated the
hasty abandoning Of the steamer by the
crew. The men got away in three boats.
but in their rush were lily prepared for
a battle with the seas in open boats. The
first survivors when picked up had been
adrift for thirty-siX hours and suffered
severely. Captain McDonald's boat
picked up early today by the Manhattan.
was adrift for more than fifty hours be-
fore help reached them.
