ADVICES TO INTERNATIONAL
MERCANTILE MARINE COMPANY

New York March 5.-Officers of the
International Mercantile Marine Co.
received advices through the Cunard
Line of the message the Franconia had
sent regarding the Columbian, but
had no other information regarding
the fate of the Leyland liner or the
remainder of her crew. The Columbian
had no passengers on board. the lines
representative said. AS the records
were not available tonight, the exact
number of her crew could not be Civ
en- Officials estimated, however. that
she carried from 60 to 10 men. OF
these the Franeonia reported having
saved 13 alive and the body of another,
while 10 were said to be in the boat
still adrift, making a total of 80.
The Columbian carried a general as
sortment of cargo. Nothing definite
as to it's makeup was known TO the
officials here nor had they any idea of
what might have caused the explosion
reported in the Franconian's message.

Antwerp to New York.
The death of Chief Steward Mat
thews, whose body the survivors had
in charge and the disappearance of
a second boat in which were 10 men,
including the chief and second off,
GERS, were also reported in the radio
grams from the Franconia.
Whether the number of missing was
represented by those said to be in the
second boat was still uncertain to-
night. Estimates by officials of the
Leyland and Phoenix Lines placed the
number of the crew at between As
and so.
The messages from the Franconia
told of only SO men. represented by
the occupants of the two boats. 1t
was thought possible that there was
a third boat, commanded by Capt. Nc
Donald of the Columbian.

Survivors Exhausted

The survivors were so exhausted by
their experiences that they could tell
little of what happened and steam
ship officials expressed the opinion
that the omission in the wireless mes
sages of mention of the captain and
other seamen might be laid to this
fact.
After rescuing the occupants of the
first boat today. the Franconia search
ed until nightfall for the rest of the
crew, but without avail.
Search for the missing men of the
Columbian has not been given up,
however. Before turning for his des-
tination, Capt. Miller had notified the
steamers Manhattan and Hayerford,
both eastbound, of the missing boats
and they sent word that they had
changed their courses an were head
ing toward the burning steamer.
Latest word of the Columbian came
today from the North German Lloyd
steamer Seydlitz, which had stood by
for "a hours. saying that the vessel
was aflame throughout. There is lit
tie doubt that the Columbian central
figure in several incidents of the sea
will be burned beyond salvage, and
probably will sink.

Franconia Stops Search

The Franeonia stopped searching for
the Columbian's missing lifeboat early
tonight, and is on her way to Boston,
where she expects to arrive at mid
night Wednesday, according :" wire
less message which reached the offices
of the Cunard Line at New York. Tho
message came from the Franconia and
was signed by Capt. Miller. 1t was
timed at o'clock tonight when the
F'ranconia reported she was 465 miles
east of the Boston lightship. 1t read
as follows:
Expect to arrive at Boston light
ship at midnight Wednesday. Search
ed but could not trace other boats.

1t was assumed here that the Fran
COMA communicated by wireless with
other ships asking them to take up
the search where the Franconia was
about to leave off.
The Haverford is an American Line
vessel which left Philadelphia for
Liverpool May 2. The Manhattan of the

The FRANCONIA
AND COLUMBIAN

Boston. Nav 5.-The Franconia was
about 600 miles east of Boston light
ship when she reported. She was ex-
pected to dock tomorrow afternoon.
Her captain is David S. Miller OF
Liverpool, a commander in the Royal
Navy Reserve. On board the Fran
coma are 1888 passengers, including
65 in the first cabin, 394 in the second
cabin and 1874 in the third cabin.
The Columbian
The steamer Columbian sailed from
London on April 16 for Antwerp and
thence on April 20 for New York. She
was last reported by wireless $40
miles east of Sandy Hook at 10 o'clock
Sunday morning.
The Columbian was a cargo vessel
and is not believed to have had any
passengers on board. She was or 5oSS
tons gross registery, 442 feet long, 40
feet beam and 81 feet depth. She was
built by Harland 6, Wolff at Belfast

Long Debate Tuesday
Over Giving of the
Parliamentary
Franchise
Opposition Declares MiIItanCy
Work Of Great Organization

London, May 5.-Woman suffrage
was the subject of a long discussion
in the House of Lords today when
the Earl of Selborne moved a second
reading of a bill giving the Parlia-
mentary franchise to those women al
ready possessing votes at local gov
eminent elections. He said it was es
timated roughly that one million wo-
men in the British Isles would bench
by the passage of the bill. He assert
ed that the vast majority of women
were opposed to militancy. He express
ed his belief that the idea that men
and women voters would divide on
sex lines was delusion and gave it as
mis- opinion that the demand for votes
made by women who paid taxes was
founded on justice.
Earl Curzon of Kedlestone moved
the rejection of the bill, not merely,
he said because it would introduce
great social revolution, but because it
would be injurious to the interests of
women. Such a measure, he argued,
would have an unfortunate and mis-
chievous effect upon the relations of
the sexes and would weaken the pres
tige and influence of Great Britain
throughout the world
He declared that of the 10000 wo
men voters on the registers in Lon
don, only 30 per cent. had vpteo at the
last local municipal elections, while
in the country % per cent. of the wo-
men entitled to vote had cast their
ballots. He asserted that an lneYvita-
BILE corollary of giving the vote II wo-
men was the grant to them Of the
right to sit in Parliament. Miii.ancy,
he argued, was not confined to n snail
Unbalanced minority, but was the
work of a great organization. He
concluded with the statement that the
majority of women did not want the
vote and lacked the quality and the
temperament to exercise political pow
CT.
Baron Newton argued that militan-
cy was woman's blind revenge upon
society for the manner in which she
had been treated by the Liberal party.
Viscount Haldane said the coun-
try was approaching the time when
it would have to deal with class prob
lens in which the cooperation of wo-
men had become vital. The questions
of the birth and death rates were part
of these problems. Much of the want
of attention to sex problems had been
brought about, he concluded, because
women had no direct means of exer-
cising political power.
The debate was adjourned.

SON GIVES EVIDENCE OF
STARK MADNESS IN CELL

In a cell in a Brooklyn police sta

fired seven bullets into the body of his

the Civil War. killing him instantly,

ing up to the shooting and gave evil
dence of being stark mad. While talk
ing he dug his fngernails into the
palms of his hands until they bled.
He said he shot his father when he
received a spiritual message from
George Washington" In saner,
calmer tone he added:

Seven Shots in
to Body of Hiram
Duryea, Age 81,
On Tuesday
Son, Chester Ouryea, Appears
To Have Gone Mad

: New York, May 5.-Hiram Duryea,
81. retired millionaire starch manufac-
turer and Civil War veteran, was
murdered early today at his home in
the Bay Ridge section OF Brooklyn by
his son. Chester Duryea. Seven shots
were fred by the son into his father
body, causing instant death.
The murder occurred on the porch
at the rear Of the DuTyea nome
where both father and son were in
the habit of sleeping. About l O'Clock
this morning Chester Duryea, who Is
4S years old, slipped from his cot into
the house where he kept number OF
rifles, revolvers and shotguns Tor
hunting purposes. He selected an au-
tomato pistol and magazine rifle,
both of which he loaded and returned
to the open air porch.
Standing within a few feet of ms
sleeping father, he first fired from the
rifle and then emptied the revolver.
Chester Duryea would give no reason
for killing his father when taken into
custody For the past few days ser
wants told the police he had been act
ing strangely and they had feared a
return of a previous breakdown. In
1909 when he showed signs of mental
trouble, his father sought to have
him removed to Bellevue hospital for
observation, but as he was not violent
this request was refused.
At the outbreak of the Civil War,
Hiram Duryea organized the Duryea
Zouaves and became it's colonel He
served throughout the war, retiring
at it's close with the rank Of brigadier
general.
General Duryea's father was the
founder of the National Starch Co,
and the general succeeded to the pres
idency of the company. The. general
retired from active business fife some
time ago.
Chester Duryea was admitted to
practice law and had intended to take
up the legal business of the starch
company of which his father was the
head Domestic troubles that culmi-
mated in his being divorced by his
wife in 1908, discouraged him in this
ambition, trends explained. The divorce
action begun in 1901 is also said to
have been the beginning of trouble
between Chester and General Duryea,
the father taking the side of his
daughter-in-law, against his son.
Mrs. Chester Duryea before her
marriage was Miss Nina Larre Smith,
daughter of Franklin Waldo Smith of
Boston.
For some weeks Chester Duryea has
spent much time at home and after
the shooting it was found that he had
been engaged in writing, a pile Of
manuscripts, the result of his work,
being taken by the police for exam
ination for possible reason for his
act. Although the servants said there
had been no quarrel between General
Duryea and his son before they re-
tired for the night. an overturned ia
BILE, a broken screen and books scat
tered about the floor of the sleeping
porch led the police to believe that
Chester and awakened his father and
that struggle had ensued before the
shots were fired.
