Woman Visiting in Barre Tells Interest
ing Story.


One of the passengers who raced into
port on the White Star liner Canopic
was Mrs. Il. Lange, who arrived in the
city from Boston yesterday to visit her
sister, Mrs. Edward Dungh, whose hus-
band is member of the firm Of Ossola
& Dunghi, granite manufacturers. Mrs.
LANCE is able to Join with the 1862 other
passengers in telling stories of the sui
fering occasioned by the European strlfe
and she bore her share OF the worry
while the great boat, shrouded as all
steamships are nowadays, picked its way
from Gibraltar across the Atlantic under
forced draught and entered the port OF
Boston Sunday, two days ahead OF time.
At her sisters home. 53l North Main
street, Mrs. LANCE was still recovering
from the excitement of the voyage when
a reporter got her story.
1--WE left Genoa Aug. | with "a pas
sengers," Mrs. LANCE began, and sailed
from Naples three days later with 9S9
additional who had engaged berths at
the last minute. The passengers were IN
fear of capture from the moment they
left the Italian port, as there were re-
ports of the activities of German cruisers
in the vicinity, and one OF the passen-
gers, sailing on another vessel few
DAYS before, had been brought to a coast
town as a prisoner on a cruiser OF the
enemy. For few hundred miles after
leaving Gibraltar. the Canopic was con-
vowed by British cruiser. The captain,
J. B. Kelk. was warned to keep away
from the Azores, and in following these
instructions detour of 800 miles was
made around the islands. Once the OPP
orator heard wireless message from

What proved to be the most successful
picnic ever held by the mission Sunday
school of this place was held yesterday
afternoon Nearly l25 persons, inelud-

parents, were conveyed TO the grounds

ing the afternoon the following girls
won prizes for racing; Ruth Iawiss,
Mildred Dudley, Agnes Fleetwood, Silvia

the following captured the prizes: Alex

one of the islands to a German cruiser
asking for the whereabouts of the Brit
ish steamer"
In her own way, Mrs. LANCE tells OF
the precautions taken to avoid discovery.
From the day Gibraltar was passed, the
sides of the ship were covered with can
vas to keep the light IN by night. Sucn
a precaution was hardly necessary, how
ever, for the electric bulbs in all the
outer staterooms were removed to pre-
vent the passengers from showing light
at any time. The captain, it was re-
ported, feared a sympathizer OF the en-
envy might be aboard and show light
which could be seen from distance,
were it not for the side of the canvas
Wireless reports were received daily CIV
ing the positions of the German cruisers.
The passengers were not advised of the
war developments until three days before
reaching port, and consequently much un-
certainty resulted. On the Wednesday
night before the arrival in Boston, the
passengers held meeting to consider
the war situation and 10 ask the United
States government to relieve Americans
abroad. A letter with many signatures
was forwarded TO President Wilson lat
err.
In sharp contrast to the pecuniary
condition in which many OF the
messengers found themselves, Mrs. LANCE
was we'll supplied with funds and en-
tered upon the voyage with the knowl-
edge that she might have trouble IN
reaching America She was anxious TO
be with her sister, however, and now
that she is here she plans to stay, at
least until the war is ended.

FIVE AND SIX DOLLAR CLERKS ARE THE ONES
HIT HARD BY THE SIEGEL FAILURE

New York, March 14.-When the
doors of the Fourteenth street store
and the Simpson, Crawford Company
swung open for the last time today,
1900 women, girls and men clerks,
. buyers and managers went to their
work with the realization that tonight
hundreds of them must step up on the
street practically penniless and with
out any immediate prospect OF en-
ployment.
The tragedy of the failure of the
ventures of Henry Siegel and Frank
E. Vogel, the collapse of the great
stores and the wrecking of the pTi-
vate bank which carried away the
savings of hundreds of the employees
stood out in bold relief today.
AS District Attorney Whitman and
his assistants delved in records and
accounts of the Siegel enterprises,
declaring countless indictments
might be returned against the two
men already charged with grand lar
ceny and accepting deposits in de-
funct bank, charitable authorities
were brought face to face with the
problem of what was to become of
the unfortunate employees caught in
the crash
"The failure of the Siegel enter
prises has hit the working people
of New York as hard as any failure in
the city's history" said Whitman to-
day. There seems to be evidence
that Siegel is culpable. The district
attorneys Office will accept no COM
promise. Henry Siegel must pay"
1t was declared today that at least
$50 employees of the Siegel stores lost
their savings through the failure of
the private bank. 1t is not believed
depositors in the bank will receive
more than ten cents on the dollar.
The SIS and $6-a-week clerks who
will step out tonight jobless and with
little hope of early unemployment
have not only lost their savings, but
The day book. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1911-1917, 1914-03-14


loaned" to the Siegel bank. Now it
is gone.
Whitman declared that in this fund
being swallowed up in "the hole
which depositors thought was a
bank" the poor workers of the city
had been ''hit harder through the
Siegel failure than in the collapse of
the Carnegie Trust Company"
1t was this beneficiary fund about
which the majority of the $6-a-week
sales girls and male clerks with fami-
lies to support felt most concern. An
instance of what the deductions
meant to the small pay employees %
was recounted by one woman clerk
today.
"One of the girl clerks, who had
been with Simpson-Crawford for
years and who was supporting an in
valid sister, died after a short illness
a few days after the firm went into
bankruptcy.
with everything running right"
said the informant, this girls sister
should have received $100 from the
beneficiary fund. She got nothing.
The dead girl lies in the Potter's field
and her sister is in a charity hospi-
tai"
Still another instance was related
of one of the wagon-drivers who
broke his leg week ago. The driver,
according to the story vouched for
by two employees, went to charity
ward at Bellevue Hospital He had
absolutely nothing to pay for medi-
cal attention. ---- s..
While many of the 1900 girls and
men who will go out when the stores
close tonight, have secured positions
elsewhere, the majority have nothing
to fall back on. Those who have
been fortunate enough to get other
employment are the older ones who
can command better salaries than the
average.

 Some greedy fish had square meal off your bait and never got the hook in his gullet He'll come back for more, then get caught. It's the same way with human beings"
 Philosopher" laughed Dorcas. She dropped her line again into deep water and waited for her brothers predic- tion, to come true.
 Merry had breakfasted before their return He sat upon the vine-grown piazza, gazing at the sparkle of the ocean, when the two agile figures stepped across his vision.
 Well, Sir Lazy, so you're up!" cried the girl. You should have been with us to find an appetite. See our fish! Here's a dinner for you!"
 'I'm going to turn over a new leaf," said Merry. His eyes were fixed on the girls glowing face, and for mo ment he shared her intense enjoyment of life.
 Will you turn it over tomorrow HUI mug dS 6uAl 6AO uCLdAOCN.
 Even so soon, most gracious lady" He swept her a stage bow, his soft hat trailing the ground as if it had been a cavaliers cap loaded with plumes.
 Matching his grace, the girl turned to him, laughing, with the mock dignity of queen.

 T shall obey, most royal highness," answered Merry solemnly.
 T believe he Is waking up," thought Dorcas as she ran upstairs to dress for the noon dinner. If he does that, I'll believe he has some backbone
 When Dorcas and her brother came down next morning for breakfast, Merry had disappeared.
 Pm glad I'm not your victim," said Wentworth, with note of sympathy in his voice.
 "Enoch," the girl turned to him gravely, T told you he needed waking up, and this is a good start. It won't hurt him a bit"
 Poor Merry! What a sight,"
 They watched him come tramping over the beach. He wore Farmer Hutchins' overalls rolled up to his knees and Tapping cow breakfast hat. He carried clam fork and occa- sionally shifted a heavy basket of clams from one arm to the other.
