tavius Bacon, United States senator
from Georgia for nearly 10 years and
chairman of the foreign relations COM
mittee SINCE the ascendancy of the
Democratic party March 4, 1913, died
in hospital here Saturday, after an
illness of 10 days.
Though Senator Bacon had been Sc
riously i'll with kidney trouble and
complications, developing from a
broken rib, his death was unexpected.
1t came suddenly at 2 o'clock in the
afternoon, and news Of the end fell
upon the Senate as a shock while it
was in executive session.
The immediate cause of the senator's
death was diagnosed as blood clot in
the heart. Throughout the morning he
had been in good spirits and it was
announced to colleagues that he was
feeling better than for several days.
Halt an hour before his death the
senator talked with his daughter Mrs.
w. B. Sparkes of Georgia. She had just
left the room when he raised himself

New York, Feb. 15.-Long distance
telephone messages from Orient Point,

today of the safety of IL persons, in
Guiding four women and two children,
who were on the four barges which
were cut loose from the tow of the
tug Pliny Fisk on their trip up Long

night.
The mystery of the targes fate was
cleared up also. For many hours they
drifted about in the wintry gale that

began to break up and made their way
to the other pair, the Katie Woods
and the Rose Marie Feeney. These
also soon began to give way under the
pounding of the storm and the whole
party then took to the dery.
1t was o'clock Saturday morning
when the barges broke away from the
tug near Bartlett's reef. 1t was "A
hours later when the last of the four
boats began to sink. Meanwhile they

Captain Edward A. Gillgan of the
tug Pliny Fisk, which was towing the

storm was one of the worst he had

he did not think it possible for the
helpless coal laden craft to weather

Storm "5reaks" at Noon.
During its early hours the storm
bore no marked features which would
distinguish it from the average snow
storm of the winter. Flakes began
falling at about o'clock in the morn

snow gained but little in depth. Some
