YACHT HITS PIER
8 ARE DROWNED
Occupants are Thrown Into
Ohio Riyer-Only One
is Saved.

WHEELING, W. Va, Oct. IRE.
turning from visit to fishing camp
about 10 miles north of this city, the
pleasure yacht Wilma, owned and
driven by Owen Friery OF Wheeling,
struck piling on the cotfer dam at
Government Dam No. u. building at
Warwood, w. Va, about S o'clock last
night. The launch was crushed and
its four occupants thrown into the
stream. Only Friery was saved. The
drowned we're:
Miss Clara Kemple, % years old.
Harry Stewart. 40 years old, express
clerk.
Mrs. Harry Stewart, 80 years old.
Both OF the men were capable swim.
mers, and they went to the assistance
OF the women. Stewart held his wife
up for some time, and finally sank
with her. The crew OF the Govern.
ment steamer Dorothy Adgate heara
cries for help, and the steamer played
its searchlight over the water and
went down the stream as far as the
railroad bridge at Martins Ferry.
With the aid OF It's searchlight 9
smaller Government launch picked up
Friery about a quarter OF mile be-
low the dam. He was completely ex.
hausted. When he was revived he
stated that 1t was dark and he thought
he was steering the yacht through the
free opening in the river. When he
realized his mistake il was too late
to avert the crash. The current was
swift and the river at high stage.
A search for the bodies of other vic
Tins will be made tomorrow.

A. ]. Hemstreet has returned from
Edmonton, Canada, where he spent
several months looking after his
business matters there. He and his
associates operate a biscuit factory,
and have done well since the opening
of the factory.
In speaking of Canada and the war
Mr. Hemstreet says the Canadians
feel confident that victory will be
with the mother country in the end.
When the Lusitania was sunk, they
expected a declaration of war on the
part of the states. and wnen that was
not done, they were somewhat dis
appointed for a time. Canada's quota
of the troops is a half million, and
there has been no trouble in getting
volunteers. Young men wired from
800 miles away, asking that places be
held for them until they could arrive
He estimates that 250Q1 soldiers
have gone from Alberta and the ad-
joining province, and Edmonton has
$500 men under training now and
Calgary has 5000 men ulder training.
The Princess Pats II giment, of
Toronto, which was said to have
been the crack regiment OF the Do
minion, went to the front III the early
part of the war and reports received
state that only twelve of the Pats
survive. 1t seems that the Canadians
were forced to bear the brunt OF the
fighting where poisonous gases We're
used by the Germans, and the slaugh-
ter of men was terrific.
Mrs. Hemstreet and the children
are in Omaha and they will come
south within a few days.

The expulsion of the German IAN
