AMERICANS MAY BE AMONG BIC
 DEATH LIST IN ANC0NA TRAGEDY

sinking they cabled the home office at Naples for a complete passenger list At present nothing is known here concerning the personnel of the passengers but MT. Solari thought the number of first cabin passengers. s3, as given in a. cable report today, was too high, as the Ancona had accom- modations for only 50 first cabin pass engers,
 On the past three trips from Naples to New York, MT. Solari said. more than half of the Anconas 8 passengers have been women and children, ow- ing to the fact that few men of mil itary age are leaving Italy.
 The Ancona has not been used as a transport dGring the present war. the agent said, nor has she carried any munitions. The Ancona has been a fav0rite steamer with opera singers and musicians coming to This coun- try Titta Ruffo. the baritone, was reported aboard the steamer. but this was denied by his brother in Chi cago.
 Among those inquired for were Mir and Mrs. Garfield Jones, of Philadel- phia, and Mrs. Sissoli, of Washington. At noon the line had not received any definite information, however. regard ing passen gers.

BRIDGEPORT BOY
 AND HIS SISTER
 SAVE 8 FISHERS
Hilda Johnson at Wheel and Herbert As Skipper Ac-
 complish Great Feat.

A thrilling episode of the far north ern seas, that will go down in the his tory of sailormen to become a legend of the forecastle, is being related in maritime circles of New York through the log of the schooner Oriental Capt. Peter Randall. of Nova Scotia, with a Bridgeport boy and girl as the princi- pal actors in the parts of hero and heroine.
 Herbert Johnson and his sister HiIda, aged A and IS, residing at 34 Bishop avenue, are the modest pair to whom the lives of eight men are indebted. Though they refuse to dis cuss the affair beyond admitting the facts as recorded in the log of the Oriental, a 58-ton fishing schooner which sailed from Trinity Bay. New foundland, Oct 19, in search of cod fish, the narrative has been told in New York as follows:
 When in far northern waters a school of fish was sighted and Captain Randall with six sailors put off in small boats to lay the nets. Left on the schooner then riding at anchor were Herbert Johnson, shipped as a fishcutter, and his sister, Hilda, cook. A sudden fog, later learned to be due to an ice pack, surrounded the boats which lost their bearings. The flow d descended until it had caught the Oriental in it's grinding mass. The anchor chain parted and ship and flow were being swept away when the pres ence of mind of young Johnson saved both ship and men. [
 Calling his sister from the galley he lashed her to the wheel. while with the use of a gasoline engine he man. aged to rig the forward jib and main sail. By clever manouevering he es- capped the ice and sailed to an approxi- mate point where his shipnates had last been seen. Two days later; after extreme hardships the crew were taken on board suffering greatly from exposure and lack of food. Arriving at New York last week, the young cou- pie, although inured to the sea from long years of experience with their father, a former Massachusetts sea captain who took them with him on many voyages about the world, have temporarily given up the life the bounding main.
 Herbert is employed in the Weidlich Brothers Manufacturing Co. on Com necticut avenue. while his sister cares for the home on Bishop avenue.

New York. Nov. s1e@No word con- corning the sinking of the Ancona had been received early today by Hart field, Solari & Co.,, local agents for the Italian line, and it is thought in steamship circles that the rigid Italian censorship had causea numer- ous private and press dispatches to be held back.
 A message from Rome today said that there were e482 passengers on the Ancona instead of 422 as given In previous messages.
 The Ancona, according to the local agents, was scheduled to sail from Naples yesterday. After leaving Ma pIes the, steamer would pass through the Tyrrhenian Sea and enter the Mediterranean Sea between Sardinia and Sicily. The meagre despatches in djcate that the Ancona was sunk with in a comparatively small triangle, the points of which are the southern end of Sardinia, the western end of Sicily and Bizerta, Tunis. The Austrian suo- marine reported to have torpedoed here, probably was lying in wait for the Ancona at or near the entrance to the Malta. channel, which is a narrow strip of the Mediterranean between Sicily and the coast of Africa. Aus trian and German submarines have been active in this region of fate, ac- Ncording to cable reports.
 War vessels and transports of the allies, en route to the scene of opera tiofls at the Dardanelles as well as the forces sent to >Salonil<i, all passed through the Malta channel. As soon as the local agents learned of the

LIQUOR DEALERS OF #DANBURY STRIKE AT CLUBS IN BAD ODOR
Organization For Drinking Persons Protested By
 Legitimate Sellers.

Liquor dealers of Danbury and Nor walk have protested to the county commissioners against the granting of licenses to clubs of doubtful character. During their recent visit to Danbury the commissioners had conferences with many dealers. They told the commissioners if they had evidence against any particular clubs to file it. The Norwalk dealers want the com nissioners to investigate several clubs in that city which have been organized since the law allowing club licenses was passed.
 Although local dealers have made no formal protest to the commission CTS various men engaged in the busi- ness have talked with the commission, CTS and have expressed themselves as opposed to granting licenses to organi- zations formed solely for the purpose of dispensing liquor
 The commissioners will not hear the renonstrances against the local clubs until December.
