in a distant state. and while Jones
had no great desire to kiss her good

the matter diplomatically.

STORM SAVED BURNING SHIP
Waves, Breaking Over Abandoned
Craft, Extjnauished the Blazing
Benzine.

strange shipwreck story, unreport-
ed by cable from the Azores, arrived
at New York from Horta, Fayal, by the
Holland-America freighter Zaandyk,
which was forced to put into this port
by heavy weather that reduced her
coal supply. Captain Barendsen says
he learned from the skipper of the
Norwegian tank steamship La Habra,
which arrived at Horta on February Z,
bound from Talara bay, Peru, by way
of the Panama canal, for London, that
her cargo of benzine caused an explo-
sion aboard as she was nearing the
Azores to replenish her bunkers.
La Habra was quickly ablaze from
stem to stern. About half of the crew
were on the forward part of the tank
and the other half aft. Fearing that
the falls and other boat gear would
be burned, the tanks skipper ordered
all hands to leave her in lfeboats and
stand by. The engines had been
stopped and La Habra drifted into the
trough and, as she was deeply laden,
the seas, which were very high, washed
over her.
The chief officer and five men were
in a boat towing astern when the
matches Of the tank were blown off and
cataracts of blazing benzine shot over
her sides and stern. The boats painter
was burned off and the chief officer
and his men went drifting down the
blast, being without oars or sail, and
disappeared. The other boats were
threatened with destruction by the
burning benzine, which spread out all
around La Habra, making her look like
fire ship in lake of flame.
The skipper of the tank expected
her to be destroyed utterly before his
eyes. He was elated when a giant
comber broke around her, dousing the
fire almost completely. Other seas
helped in the work, and all hands ex-
cept the chief officer and those in the
vanished boat went back on their ship.
They found that all charts, books and
instruments of navigation had been de-
stroyed.

Atlanta, Ga, June PA commit
! tee of Atlanta Hebrews, composed OF
men and women, appealed yesterday
! to Solicitor Hugh Dorsey, who pros
ecuted Leo Frank, to assist in check

posed communication for Frank. Ac-
cording to the Atlanta Hebrews let
ters have been sent to Marietta lie
brew residents ordering them to
leave town. Notices also have heen
posted on the stores Of Hebrew mer.
chants warning them they cannot do
business in Marietta. Solicitor Dor
sey got into communication with So
licitor Herbert Clay at Marietta ano

to do what he could to protect the
Marietta Hebrews in event Of any
attempt to molest them
Atlanta was normal on the sur-
face yesterday. Most of the troops
were removed from Gov. Slaton's
country home, only small guard De.
ing left.
Demonstrations against Gov. Sla-
ton continue over Georgia. He was
hanged and burned in effigy at Co.
lumbus in the presence of great
crowd, many of whom were women
and girls. 1t is said three girls were
given pistols by their fathers and
fired into the governors effigy.
No trouble is reported at the State

fined, the number of guards on both
day and night duty have been in
creased and an extra supply Of am
