STEAMER SUNK BY MINE.
Many Lives Lost--Rescue Steamer
is Also Sunk.

Dover, Eng, Feb. 27.-The pas
senger steamship Maloja, a 12,431-
ton vessel, belonging to the PENN
sula and Oriental Line, struck mine
and sank within half an hour two
miles off Dover to-day. More than
40 persons were drowned or killed.
The Maloja left Tilbury yesterday
from Bombay with mails, 119 pas
sengers Of all classes aboard and a
crew numbering about 200, most OF
them Lasca1s. Other passengers
were to board the ship at Marseilles.
The steamer was opposite Shake
speare Cliff when an explosion shook
her from end to end. She listed I'M
.mediately to port. High seas were
running and the captain tried to run
her aground, but the engine room
was swamped and the ship became
unmanageable.
The plight of the vessel was OBJ
served and dozens of craft went at
full speed to her rescue. One of
them, the British tanker Empress OF
Fort William, Of 2,1S1 tons. struck
another mine and sank nearby.
Aboard the Maloja everything pos
sible was done to get the passengers
and crew Off. All the boats had al
ready been swung out before she
struck, as precaution against the
accident, and all those aboard had
sufficient time to put on lifebelts, in
structOns In the use Of which had
been given the previous evening.
Boat after boat and number of
RATS were sent away, but several
persons leaped into the water and
were picked up by the surrounding
craft. 1t was at first thought all
had been saved, but later bodies
were washed ashore, and their num-
ber was gradually added to during
the day.
Owing to the fact that Dover is
under strict military law it was pos
sible to obtain only details from
those rescued. The captain said the
passengers and crew behaved splen-
didly.
The passengers we're for the most
part British officials in the Indian
service, the most prominent being
Judge Oldfield, Of the Indian High
Court. Only one of the crew Of the
steamer was drowned.
Up to midnight the bodies landed
from the Maloja included 18 men,
II women, children, in addition to
II Lascars. Among the dead is
Mrs. Mcleod, wife Of Gen. Mcleod.
Dutch Steamer Also Sunk.
Flushing, Holland, Feb. 27.-The
mail steamer Mecklemburg, Of the
iceland Line, struck mine while
on a voyage from Tilbury to Flush
ing and was lost. Officials of the
line state that the passengers and
crew and the mails were saved.

BABY WEEK AT SENECA.
Dr. Hines Will Address Mothers
Meeting To-NoTow, March 2.

Seneca, Feb. 29.-Special: One Of
the developments, OF the profound
and growing int ,rest in the welfare
Of babies during the past few years
is the "Bhby Week." The baby
week campaigns. which have been
held in many cities are primarily ed
ucational; their purpose is two
fold First, to give to the parents
Of the community the opportunity Of
learning the facts with regard to tho
care Of their babies; second, to
make known to the community the
Importance Of It's babies, the special
facts relating to the babies Of the
community, and need of permanent
work for their welfare.
Health authorities unite in saving
that public interest Is now needed to
put into operation methods for III
fant welfare which are we'll ascer-
tanned and tested. The observance
of Baby Week" is an expedient for
securing attention to the facts about
the needs OF babies which are we'll
known by scientific authorities, and
which, If popularized, viii greatly
reduce the loss of Infant life through
out the country
The plan for the nationwide
Baby Week. was proposed by the
General Federation Of Women's
Clubs, and with the cooperation of
the Child's Bureau OF the U. s. De-
partment of Labor, State Board of
Health and other voluntary agencies
the success of this movement Is as
Sured..
Seneca will take part in the ma
tion-wide Baby Week campaign. The
program for the week will be on a
simple scale, for plans are being
made for a child-welfare conference
to be held during the chautauqua
next summer and at the same time
to have child-welfare exhibit; for
it is believed that conference held
at that time can be more successfully
conducted and more far-reaching
than at the present.
On Thursday afternoon, March Q,
at o'clock a mothers meeting will
be held in the school auditorium.
All the ladies Of the community are
cordially invited to attend The
principal address Of the afternoon
will be delivered by DR.. e. A. Hines.
1t is earnestly hoped that every mo-
ther in the community will take ad-
vantage Of the opportunity to hear
this splendid address, for DR.. Hines
has made special study of infants
and children, and being physician
of wide experience, will have much
to say that mothers cannot afford
to miss. Several other short talks
will be made, followed by general
discussion, and a short musical pro-
gram
The other features Of the weeks
campaign will be appropriate SER
mons by the local pastors on Sunday,
and special exercises bearing on the
subject will be conducted by the
teachers in the public school. The
county papers will be asked to CO.
operate by printing articles on the
subject.

sanctions to any regiment or athletic
organization that does not allow com

BanSai Beaten
by The Alice
at GraVeSend

The "at home" week of the Benson
hurst Yacht Club came to an end yes
terday with an open regatta for all
classes on Gravesend Bay. An excel
lent feet started, including many of
the Long Island Sound yachts that have
been sailing in the annual race week
of the Atlantic Yacht Club. To make
matters easier for all hands, the race
committee of the Bensonhurst CLUB,
consisting of C. V. Byram, c. H. Mer-
rift and w. II. n. Bostleman, crossed
the bay to Sea Gate and started the
various divisions from the Atlantic
dock.
Interest centred in the thirtyfoot
division Of the New York Yacht Club
and in the popular Star Glass. Two
of the former yachts were sent across
the starting line. Alice, the property
of Gherardi Davis, was the first away,
and led in race that was made up
of a reach, a run, a beat and another
reach home. The course was covered
twice. Alice winning from BanZal by
. minutes and 30 seconds.
Thirteen of the little Stars started.
To accommodate the shippers who were
anxious to have short race so that
they could tow back to Long Island
Sound last night. the committee gave
the craft a race that took them on
reach from the starting line 70 mark
off Sea Gate, a run to Fort Hamilton
and a beat back to the starting line.
The course as sailed twice. The VIII
ner was the Hydra.
In the first division of the handicap
class. Joy, the property OF lie Savage
and Davis, beat Saginaw on both actual
and corrected time. In the second d.
vision Of the same class, the winner on
corrected time was Wahkan ii. Al
though the three knockabouts all start
ed on the wrong gun, the committee
called it race and awarded the prize
TO Mouse.
In the class, NJ. e. F. II, winner OF
the Childs Perpetual Challenge Cup
scored a sailover. On corrected tune,
Mavourneen won in the third DIVISION
of the handicap class and Viva led the
Star boats home. There also was
race. the winner being Dana

CAMPFIRE WINS
THE HOPEFUL AT
SARATOGA PARK
Three Big Features Mark
Closing of Racing Meet
at the Spa.

Saratoga, n. Y, Aug. 26.-One Of the
most successful race seasons in the
history OF the Saratoga Assoeistioa
was brought to close this afternoon
before q tremendous crowd. All through
the season the sport has been blessed
by almost continuous fine weather, ana
from the opening day to the closing
there never before has been shown
such a lively interest in the thorough
bred horse.
For the closing day the card was
particularly an attractive one, with tho
rich Hopeful Stakes. the Saratoga Cup
and the Beverwyck Steeplechase as the
features.
The Hopeful resulted in another
magnifcently earned victory for Rich
ard T. Wilson's Campfire, winner OF
the Saratoga Special and the Sanford
Memorial earlier in the meeting. To-
day ne took up 1870 pounds, giving away
Jumps of weight to every starter and
standing a stretch drive gamely, and
beat home Omar Khayyam, the i'm
ported colt, that raced for C. X. G.
Billings. Third went to A. X. AacCom-
ber's Star Master.
The race run by Omar Khsyyam was
probably more impressive than that Of
the winner, barring the very important
fact that Campfire was giving the
Billings's colt twenty pounds. Buxton,
who had the mount on Omar, broke a
snail bone in RS wrist yesterday while
cranking his automobile, and when no
other suitable rider could be engaged
he rode with his wrist wrapped with
adhesive tape.
This was a serious handicap, and the
fact that Omar left the barrier slowly
and had TO race around the entire field
made his a wonderfully good perform
ance.
The Hopeful was worth sls,a5o 10
the winner. but it did not cost the
association q penny, as twas a guar
snteed affair, with sl7,500, the gross
amount promised. OF course, under
the rules the excess went to the purse.
The Cup WAS won in handy fashion
by August Belmont's good three-year-
old Friar Rock, when he beat home
Andrew Miller's Roamer and II. c. Hal
lenbeck's The Finn. Weldship, who has
not lost a race through the Saratoga
field in two years, was an added starter
in the Beverwyck, and in a wonderfully
game finish he beat H. ". Ssge's
Marian.
Before the races, Dodge, winner Of
the Latonia and the American Derby,
was sold at public auction, going to A.
X. MacComber for $1,000.

Summons to Men

Princeton, n. j., Aug. 26,-Captain
Frank Trevor Hogg, I'd, of the 1915
Princeton football team, has called his
fellow gridiron warriors to report for
duty on September II, and from pres
ent indications one hundred men will
respond to the first call.
At first glance, Captain Hogg and the
coaches will face a big job this year in
their effort to mould a winning team,
but while the available material is OF
questionable merit, the coaching staff is
recognized as the most expert Prince
ton has had in many years, and all
Princeton has given it full confidence
Eleven first string men, all Of whom
received the varsity letter, have been
lost from last years team, but several
of the substitutes were of talent
equally as great as that Of the first
choices. Candidates from last years
freshman class hold fair promise and
should respond to varsity coaching.
In particular, the weakest points in
the embryo eleven, as evidenced at this
early stage, are quarterback, the ends
and the tackles. The positions of
greatest strength should be the half
backs and fullbacks. for which there
are a number OF candidates Of almost
equal merit. At the guard Dositio rs

to the vital part of the Tiger machine;
Although the university has delayed
its opening until October 10 in order TO
obviate any danger from infantile
paralysis, it is expected that the foot
ball plans will progress according to
schedule. It is assured that the prac-
tice will open September IL, and it is
likely that the first game, with Holy
Cross on September 80, will be taken
care Of There is a game with North
Carolina University scheduled for 0c'
tober 7, and by the time the students
have returned the season will be well
under way.
