SINGLE STEAMER
RAMS TWO OTHERS

New Orleans, La. March 29.-Dvers
today were making efforts to float the
British steamship Partisan, rammed
by the passenger steamer Heredia, on
the mouth of the Mississippi Saturday
night. The Partisan Is seriously dam
aged and river men say It was only the
fact that she was aground on mud
bank when she was struck that pre-
vented her from sinking.
The Parisian has twenty-five feet
of water that came into the hold
through a hole thirty feet high. eight
wide and ten feet deep, cut by the
Heredia's bow. She has settled deep
into the mud, but as there Is believed
no danger Of her topping over, the
1920 mules aboard, destined for the
British army at Calcutta, will not be
removed.
The Heredia with her bow plate bad
ly sprung is at her dock here. Tho
vessel brought fifty-six passengers and
the crew of the steamship Theodore
Weems, which also was rammed and
sunk by the Heredia within few min
utes after she struck the Partisan. NO
one was hurt in either of the collisions
although the Weems sank in fifteen
minutes. The Heredias passengers
are expected to proceed to Panama
on the Abangarez late today. Among
them is Major General Leonard Wood.

TURKS DENY THE
ATR0C|TY CHARGE
WORD COMES FROM GRAND
VIZlER THAT NO HARM HAS
BEEN DONE CHRISTIANS.

Washington, D. c., March 29.-The
Turkish government denies that there
have been any disorders at Urumiah,
Persia. Ambassador Morgenthau at
Constantinople cabled the state de-
partment today that the grand vizier
had so informed him on the strength
of report made to him by the Turk
ish war office.
Mr. Morgenthau reported that furth-
er instructions that order must be
maintained had been sent to Urumiah
at his request and that regular Turk
ish troops were on their way to the
scene.
News dispatches from Tiflis and re-
ports to the Presbyterian board of
foreign missions in New York have
told atrocities committed on Christ
ians at the American and French mis-
sions at Urumiah by irregular Turk
ish troops and Kurds. In response to
appeals for protection the state de-
partment directed Ambassador Nor
genthau to ask the porte to send
troops.
