seized with a desire to express it.

He knew the newspaper game better
than any man on the boat. Turning
to a man he bluntly inquired what's
your business?" And the man replied
quietly. IL am the editor of the
New York Sun" For a whole moment
he was silent, but only for a moment.
Later in the day Miner remarked: 81
don't dare mention the crucifxion for
fear South America has been there
and got a photograph"
But we got along with South Amer,
lea and had about as much fun out of
him as he did with us.
But | am ahead Of the boat. We left
Sandy Hook light and sailed out into
the unknown on a Saturday at Sis p,

miles on our way. We took the Cap,

some of us were not SO much interest
ed in distance travelled as in distance
yet to come. The weather was rough
and the water rougher.
There are some things about a sea
voyage which might be overlooked,
and these things usually happen on
the first or second day out. l might
as we'll be frank in the matter and say
at once that to me things happened on
both the first and second day. And

To the son of the soil who expects to
find a floor under him when he shakes

thing uncanny in stepping out onto a

when you sink, sink, sink, Ooh the
horror of that word sink) you weigh
about a ton more or less. But before
you have a chance to carry weight, UP
you go again and possibly something
else. It's a toss up whether you go

other plants of equal magnitude are
needed to supply the demand for this
company's product. That Is the truth
Of the matter however. At Kansas
City and at Port Ivory, New York, are
factories that are equally impressive
and, like the Ivorydale plant, they are
taxed to their capacities to supply the
trade in the territory which looks to
them for Ivory Soap.
To paraphrase Lincoln's saysing,
good product like Ivory Soap seems
to please not only some of the people
all the time and all of the people some
of the time but all the people all the

he thought he could carry the rest.
The most interesting part of a boats
cargo is the human cargo. AS we
journey towards this series will find
II they find interest at all, that it pays
to get acquainted with the passengers
as well as the places along the route,
and will take this opportunity to look
over the passenger list. There are
several booked for the cruise" that
is, from New York, sticking to the
boat and landing as occasion permits.
The points they visit will be Santiago,
Cuba; Kingston, jamaica; Colon, Port
Limon, Costa Rico, back to Colon and
home via Kingston, where a cargo of
fruit is taken on. Among the cruisers
we find an editor of one of New York's
large dailies, accompanied by his wife
and daughter. A party from Massa-
chusetts, among them a young lady
from Lynn, who entered a contest to
win. She won it you bet, and caught
in her net, the hearts of all of the men.
Bound for Cuba was a travelling man
from Boston and a young Englishman
who was locating on a large sugar
plantation. For Kingston, a couple of
young men from Pittsburg, on sight
seeing bent, and a couple of tired bust
ness men from Springfield, Mass, on a
rest excursion, which they took play
ing golf under tropic sun, 100 proof.
Also for Kingston was a Hamburg
American marine engineer whose
special hobby was the construction of
dry docks, and a mechanical engineer
from Omaha, whose mission was the
construction of an immense starch
plant in the north part of the island.
This particular starch is derived from
the casva plant. 1t is a new industry
for the island and an experiment. The
starch is used in the calico and cotton
print industry, and the starch hitherto
employed m entirely from the
island of Java. l was interested to
know that l had travelled a thousand
miles to learn of a new industry foster
ed by American dollars, furnished by a
man who lives in my own home county
in New York state.
This ships company which was to
be thrown together into a little COM
munity of close confinement for a
month soon began to make acquaint-
ance. AS Bill often remarked: "a
voyage is just what you make it." and
Bill was some busy little boy in the
"makins."

s STRIKER SHOT
DEAD WITH
own Gun
Killing Accidental Ac.
cording to Witness.
Slayer Has Not
Been Caught

Guisseppi Tortorelli. 20, a striker.
is dead with bullet wound in his
LETT chest and Luigi Rino. 22, anoth-
er striker, is being looked for by the
sheriff's officers as a resu'' of the
fatal shooting of the former at Chill
lii Plaza late yesterday afternoon.
That the shooting was accidental and
occurred when Rino sought to
wrench 80 caliber revolver from
the scabbard worn by the dead man,
is the story that has been told Cor
oner B. B. Sipe, who investigated to-
day and who will conduct an inquest
this afternoon.
Tortorclli is the son of Frank Tor
torelli. a ranchman, and according to
the disclosures made to the coroner
owned the gun which in some way
had become caught in the scabbard
when he sought to take il out to
show the weapon TO Rino. Rino Is
said to have remarked. Let me take
it out" to have grabbed the gun and
pulled it out and to hive discharged
II. The bullet entered the left breast
of Tortorclli and penetrated the lobe
of the lung. Rino made his getaway
from the house and has not been seen
since. The only eyewitness 10 the
shooting was a ten-year-old brother
of the dead man and who was so
badly frightened that his statements
are of little value.
This fact is known. Tortorclli. Il
striker. has been toting a gun and for
some reason Rino sought to take
possession of it, There is no evi
dence of quarrel, although the dis
appearance of Rino would indicate
that some sort of a miX-up may have
taken place.
1t is stated about town that Tor
torelli bore the reputation of being
bad man" and that he was one of
the strikers at Ludlow that partici-
pated In the battle of April 90 when
a number were killed. For som time
he has been livihg With his fatA efset
Chilli
This afternoon an inquest was
held and u jury tdat heard the evil
dence returned a verdict stating that
the death Of Totlorilli was acciden-
tai and that the shot was fired when
Rino sought to pull the gun out of
the scabbafd. The funeral of the
dead man will take place at gao
o'clock tomorrow from the Catholic
church.

According to Central News dis

occurred while ammunition was be-

An eye witness who was on a ship
a short distance from the ill-rated
Bulwark said:
II was at breakfast at about 10
minutes to o'clock this morning
when I heard an explosion and went
on deck. MY first impression was
that the report was produced by the
firing of salute by one of the ships,
but the noise was quite exceptional.
When | got on deck. | soon saw
that omething awful had happened.
The water and the sky were obscured
by dense volumes of smoke. We were
ordered at once to the scene of the
disaster to render what assistance we
could. At first we could see nothing,
but when the smoke cleared we were
mortified to find that the battleship

We had not merely our own

That showed Mr.. Lloyd-George

paper machinery had crashed great
war affecting two-thirds OF the peo-

inevitable. 1t was as if violent
