Sailors Swim to Safety When Excar-

TWO MEN SEVERELY BURNED
Steward and Cook Find Flames
Lines Burned, Forced Out
Into Lake by Stiff
Winds

Grand Haven, Mich, June a.
Two men were severely burned and a.
full crew OF sailors escaped death
only after fighting their way
through smoke and flames and
] mping from windows into the
water when the big excursion steam
er Manistee, caught fire while lying
in the johnson repair docks, and
was totally destroyed. The boat was
owned by the Northern Michigan
Transportation company and the loss
Is estimated at more than Y mil
lion dollars, partially covered by in
surance.
The fire started in the stern of
the boat. The crew was ON board
as the craft, which had just been
overhauled and repaired, was to
start at 10 o'clock for Chicago to
resume traffic operations. Bob Lar
son, assistant steward, and William
Elkins, cook, discovered the fire.
Not knowing the seriousness of the
fire they made a tour of inspection
before waking the sailors. When they
gained the deck they found the boat
almost a mass of flames. The lines
had burned and, driven by a stiff
breeze the ship was being forced out
into Spring lake.
Elkins and Larson fought their
way to the cabins and awakened the
sleeping crew. The sailors were
forced to jump through the windows
and into the lake, to save their lives.
By the time Elkins and Larson had
completed their work they were bad
y burned. Sailors carried them
ashore and they were taken to the
marine hospital.
Unnamed and whipped along by
! stiff breeze the vessel was tossed

wells 500 Women Issue Is State, Not
National
STEAMERS QUIZ HIM SHARPLY
Women Leaders Declare President
Initiated Other Legislation
When Party Hasn't
Authorized IL

Washington, July 1.-President
Wilson told a deputation Of more
chan 500 woman suffragists at the
white house that woman suffrage
was state issue and not'a national
one, and for that reason he would
not use his influence for the pass
age of a constitutional amendment
On congress.
Mrs. Rita Childe Dorr and Mrs.
Harvey W. Wiley questioned him
ON his attitude with respect TO other
national issues, and after answer
Eng several OF their queries. the
president declared: II cannot per-
snit myself to be cross-examined."
The president told the women
chat his passion is for local self
government" and that he believed
every state should decide certain
4hings for itself. He told the women
chat the suffrage issue had not been
mentioned in the Baltimore plat
form, and therefore he would be
reluctant to take 1t up even though
his own ideas were different.
The president advised the club
women not to be discouraged, but to
continue the fight in various states.
He added he was deeply interested
In the question.
Mrs. Wiley spoke briefly and In
PRODUCED Mrs. Rorr, who made the
principal plea of the suffragists.
She referred to the presidents dec
aaration when the suffragists visit
I'D him before that he was determin-
I'd never to initiate any important
legislation until the Democratic par
" had given It's approval.
"Since our last visit to the white
house," said she, you have receded
from that position. You have init
lated and carried through congress
nm extremely important piece OF leg
lalation without waiting for party
Instructions. In fact you carried 1t
through in the face of positive in
Btructions to the contrary written in
The platform on which you were
elected. Your justification rested on
the fact that certain situation had
changed and a changed situation
called for a changed policy"
