Senator Lodge Warns U. S. OF

Attributing to the administration an

Lodge of Massachusetts today attacked
that measure. He warned the demo-
Gratis that the purchase by the govern

bring the United States within nea-
surable distance of war, not only with
England. but with France. Russia and

Let me first call attention to the

Therefore, to buy these ships and

Senator Lodge pointed to the case OF

protesting against the action.
And yet, despite all this. We are
apparently not to be permitted to put

at once guard us against any such

STEAMER MARYLAND
DESTROYED BY FIRE
Burns Off Magothy River in Chesa.
peake Bay-No Loss of
Life Reported.

BALTIMORE. Md. January 22.-The
Chesapeake bay steamer Maryland,
bound to Baltimore from Pocomoke
river points. caught fire off the Mago-
thy river early today and burned to the
waters edge after having been
beached.
So far as known no lives were lost
and no one was severely injured, al
though some of the passengers had
narrow escapes. many of them losing
all their personal effects.
Capt. Howard was quoted as saying
he believed everybody escaped. but he
could not be positive. owing to the rap
i'd spread of the flames.
All Aboard Reported Saved.
Engineer startt, who said he and the
captain were the last to leave the ves-
sci. declared. however, that he was pos
tive everybody was taken off.
When it was seen that the fire had
got beyond control the steamer was
headed for the beach. about a mile
away, and the vessel stranded quar-
ter of a mile Off shore. Meanwhile
preparations had been made for disem-
barking the passengers and as soon as
the vessel grounded they were handed
into the steamers boats and taken
ashore. In their excitement three OF
the passengers jumped overheard and
swan ashore, according to one re-
port.
Carries Seventy-Six Passengers.
The sea was quiet and the night clear
Attracted by the light of the blazing
craft, two boats of the Chesapeake bay
Steamship Company hurried to the
scene and the passengers were re-em-
barked and brought to Baltimore.
The impossibility of being absolutely
certain as to whether all escaped was
due to the fact that the people landed
here without any one being able to
check them up against the passenger
list of the burned steamer.
The Maryland carried seventy-six pas
sengers. many of them women. and a
crew Of thirty-four. She was owned by
the Baltimore, Chesapeake and Allan
tic railway and was valued at $4,000

way Coach While Guard Was
Busy Getting Supper.
Correspondence of the Associated Press

| PETROGR-iD. January 2. - Lric
Carlson, a Finnish skipper. arriving in
Petrograd. gives the following strange
account of his escape from the Ger
mans:
Il was taken prisoner Of war at the
same time that my small schooner,
which carried granite out of Abo, was
| confiscated by the Germans in Vismar
My crew and myself were told that we
might have the privilege Of choosing
any town in Germany wherein to spend
our captivity. provided 1t was sixty kilo-
meters away from the sea. I chose a
| town further inland than any of my
sailors. figuring that would throw the
Germans off their guard and give me a
| better chance to escape.
LAS soon as was taken into the reg
ular night train leaving Vismar a very
simple plan of escape occurred to me.

the windows of the train by some
friendly peasants at the first stop out
side Vismar, 1 crawled through the op-
posite window and ran perhaps two
miles back to the docks The night was
dark, and, although I heard voices. l
saw no one and no one noticed me.
Hid Under Pile of Granite.
"on the docks 1 found that a pile of
my own granite had been dumped, and
finding a rude sort of tunnel under this
squeezed myself into 1t. where 1 was
cramped and uncomfortable, but where
I was safe for tho time. at least.
LAS soon as it was light 1 jumped
into the water. 1t was cold as Ice. but
1 managed to pull myself out and roost-
ed for an hour or two on a beam under
the dock. Then I saw Swedish ferry
from Trelleborg coming toward the
nier. L swan out to meet her. 1 was
seen by a Swedish steward who was
dumping a pan of ashes overheard. He
threw me a rope, to which ! clung. 1
toId him who | was and asked him to
let me hide under a tarpaulin that COW

haIned me to get on board. l lay in the

oSuloSA uIo AsSPoAe 70 SS''
At a fourth party caucus on the ship
purchase bill last night the democrats
made some progress. However, II did
not complete its work and will meet
again tonight.
An amendment changing the form of
the proposed shipping board was
adopted after considerable discussion.
1t Was agreed that the board should
consist of five members, the Secretary
of the Treasury, the Secretary of Com
merce and three civilian members. to
be appointed by the President, who
should be experienced in the business
of overseas transportation.
Several rogressive-republican sena-
tors have suggested to the President
that they might support the bill if the
shipping board was non-partisan one.
Salaries of the civilian members of the
board, it was agreed, should be $4,000 a
year and the time of service four years.
1t was agreed that the proposed ship
ping corporation should be incorporat-
ed under the laws of the District of
Columbia.
The caucus also adopted a recon-
mendation of the commerce committee
to provide that the government might
increase the original capital stock of
the proposed shipping corporation at
some future time by not more than
$4,000. The original capital stock,
under the bill. would be $1O,O0O,000.
Left undetermined was the question
Of termination of the proposed govern
ment shipping venture. In this is in
volved the government ownership dis
pute.
