COnnemara and Retriever
Both Sunk After Colli-
sion in Irish Sea
1T is FEARED DEATH
TOLL is ABOUT 100
Owners of Connemara Unable to Saw
Whether There Were Americans on
Board = Several Bodies Washed
Ashore on County Down Coast

LONDON. Nov. 4.-The London and
Northwestern railway steamship Come
mara, bound from Greenore to Holvhead
with passengers, colhded with the steam
ship Retriever in the Irish channel las,
night. 1t is feared the death roll is about
100. Both vessels were sunk. SO far as
is known there IS only one survivor from
both ships
The railway company says it is unable to
state whether any Americans were aboard
these vessels, They seldom carry saloon
passengers.
a Lloyds' despatch from Belfast says the
collision occurred off Carlingford Lough
an inlet on the Irish coast between the
counties OF Down and Louth. The Re
triever was inward bound. \ few bodies
have been washed ashore on the County
Down coast.
a later despatch says: In one of the
worst gales ever known in the Irish sea
the British steamship Connemara, with
passengers and a cargo of cattle from
Greenore for Holyhead. collided last
night just outside the Collingford bar
with the British steamship Retriever,
laden with coal. Both vessels sank i'm
mediately with an estimated loss of
life Of about 100. OF the 80 passengers
and crew aboard the Connemara there
is only one survivor. The entire crew
of the Retriever was lost. Many bodies
are being washed ashore on the Irish
coast. Numbers of cattle are being
washed up, some alive. The weather
was SO rough that il would have been
impossible to launch any boats, even had
time permitted.

Inquiry Gives Little Thus Far on Which
to Base Criminal Prosecution - More

An inquest, the purpose of which is
to learn if possible who was response

that had been stored in the police sta
tion, which loss was discovered when
Sheriff c. E. Mann went to take in
ventory Of it for the purpose of offer
ing it for sale last Monday, under Of
der of Municipal Judge Frank f. Bar
ber, was begun before Assistant Judge
Fred b. Pier of the Wiadham county
court in the municipal court room yes
terday afternoon
Municipal Judge Barber was rather
III doubt as to his jurisdiction to inves-
tigate the matter, but Attorney Gen
eral Herbert q. Barber decided that
his department had ample authority
and caused the inquest to be started.
He and States Attorney o. B. Hughes
examined yesterday afternoon Police
Chief George Wilson, Policeman Ellis
e. Worden, Policeman Charles H.
Wood, Sheriff Clifford E. Mann and
Deputy Sheriff Chauncey |. Knapp, who
had keys to the lookup. The evidence
| was taken behind closed doors.
State S Attorney Hughes said this
noon that further witnesses would be
| examined this afternoon. The attor-
ney general said that if he could learn
anything tangible he would carry the
matter to the limit in the effort to
have the guilty man punished, but
| there is a tendency for each depart
ment to blame the other, and the at
torney general thinks the prospect of
| securing evidence enough to warrant
a criminal prosecution is not espec-
cially bright thus far.
| The statement By the state s attor
ney that more witnesses will be ex
amined this afternoon apparently
means that there are persons other
than officials who may possibly have
! knowledge that viii help in determin
ing who was responsible.
The subpoeneas in the case are be-
ing served by Deputy Sheriff A. W. J..
Wilkins.
The liquor in question was seized
two weeks ago Thursday at Valley
street and had been bought by Anna
Wilk, now Mrs. Frank Szot, in prepa-
ration for the celebration of her
wedding. She was fined 500 and the
liquor declared contraband by the
court and last Monday was ordered
sold When Sheriff Mann and Dep
uty Sheriff Knapp went to take inven-
tory it became known that about half
of a five gallon jug of whiskey, half
Of a three gallon jug of wine, half of

part of a kcg of ale had been taken
