SAVED AFTER 40
HOURS In STORM
Fourteen Starving Sailors
of the Lost Ramos Are
Picked Up at Sea.

Philadelphia. July 10 Stories of
privation, forty hours battle in open
boats against gales and mountainous
waves, the loss of two men, and, when
all hands had nearly given up hope, of
rescue by the United Fruit Company 5
steamer Jose, were brought here to-
night by fourteen members of the crew
Of the freighter Ramos, which sank
last Wednesday $40 miles northwest of
Waiting Island.
The steward and one sailor of the
Ramos were drowned while leaving the
ship, and fears are expressed for the
safety of Captain McGoldrick and eight
Of his crew. who put off in small
boat. but who could not be found by
The Jose. They may have been picked
up by some other ship.
The Jose, bound from Santa Marta
for Philadelphia, rescued tie men after
midnight on Friday off the North
Carolina coast, when Captain Ander-
sen sighted them in two small boats.
The seas were running high, but he
picked them up without accident
The Ramos sailed from Philadelphia
on July with a cargo of bituminous
coal for Cartagena. Colombia. Two
days later she ran into a tropical
storm. The ship rode the waves in
safety until nearly daylight, when she
sprang a leak and went down in few
hours.
Meanwhile signals Of distress were
flashed and the lfeboats were
launched. Two men were los in this
work. Finally three boats were got
off and the crew pulled away. Time
was too precious 10 take any supplies.
Ten minutes after the last man left
the Ramos went to the bottom.
Although the seas ran high for
twenty-four hours, the hardest fight
was against hunger and thirst. When
the Jose hove in sight most Of the men
were almost famished, but on their
arrival here they were little the worse
for their experience.

offered by the manufacturers yesterday
the members Of their unions would
not consent.
Gompers Speaks for Union.
"The union will never make any
settlement which does not provide Tor
the union men. The manufacturers
may be able to stsrve the workers so
that they might go back Temporarily,
but that would not be settlement, ana
they would only strike again for their

BENJAMIN Schlesinger, president OF
the union, said that additional efforts

the personal direction of Acting Police
Commissioner Cooley, have been as
signed to run down the thieves who
robbed the apartments of Samuel Lewis
Martin. executive secretary to Mayor
Mitchell, and Francis Stone Marbury'
treasurer of the Communipaw Steel

Although the double robbery oc-
Cured two weeks ago, it was concealed
until yesterday. From the Marbury
apartment. on the top floor OF l3 west
Eighty-eighth Street, several hundred
dollars worth of jewelry and silver
ware was taken. The robbers ignored
iewelry and silver in Mr.. Martins suite,
on the top floor OF 1S West Eighty
eighth Street. but took $50 in cash.
Commissioner Cooley made per-
sonal visit to the scene of the theft I'M
mediately after il had been reported
but thus far there have been no ar
rests, nor has any of the stolen prop
erty been recovered. Finger prints
were discovered on the window slils
near the fire escapes across when the
burglars made their entrance IN ooth
cases, but they were too blurred to be
used as clews.
Much of the Marbury jewelry was
the property of Mrs. Marburys mother,
who lives in Chicago. Mrs. charles
Leavitt, secretary to Mrs. Norman Dek.
Wbitehouse. was a. guest of Mrs. Mar.
tin on the night of the robbery, and
lost a small amount of cash. Her rings
and a handsome diamond pin. lying un-
concealed on her dressing table, were
not touched.
Mrs. Martin asserted yesterday that
both robberies had occurred after the
families retired.

"For years." says the latter. the
Fifth Avenue Coach Company has en-.
