smashed by the Hamburg-Americanc col
lier Etruria in a night fog in the
English channel, the British coaster
Copsewood arrived here early today.
The captain of the coaster said his
vessel was proceeding through the fog
at half speed when the liner suddenly
loomed over her in the murk, and be-
fore it was possible to reverse engines
the two came together with a resound-
ing crash.
big hole was torn in the Copse-
woods hull and much of her bulwark
was carried away. The Copsewood's s
captain did not know to what extent
the collier was injured.
The Copsewood, which was laden
with iron, from Grimsby to Newport,
was smashed on the port side. The
hole in her hull was almost entirely
above the water line. The collision
occurred near the Overs lightship.
The Copsew4pd is a small vessel hav-
ing a register of only about 500 tons,
and il is doubted IL impact with her

POLICE ADMIT THEY
CANNOT TRACE BOY
Authorities Have Run Down
Every Clue to lack FanciuIIi
Without Success.

After following out a score or more
clues, the police acknowledge they are
as much at sea as ever concerning the
disappearance of Jack Faniculli, the
fifteen-year-old son of Mr.. and Mrs.
Jerome Fanciulli, Of 1870 L street north
west, who has been missing for the last
twelve days.
Cooperation with the Atlantic City
authorities, who conducted a search. has
UP to this time failed to throw any light
on the case
Renewed efforts to find some trace of
the youth along the shores of the upper
Potomac, where he was wont to spend
a great deal of his time, also have prov
en- futile.
1t is now thought the boy may have
taken passage on one of the barges
plying the Chesapeake and Ohio canal
for Cumberland, Md. The police have
already communicated with the
authorities of that place to hold the
boy in case he should arrive. In the
meantime hundreds of circulars con-
tanning a description and pictures of
the missing boy are being sent out by
the Police Department
The summer resorts all along the
river and bay are being canvassed In
