SHIPS HIT IN A FOG
Passenger Liner Crashes Into
British Vessel at Anchor
in Hampton Roads,
OFFICERS PREVENT A PANIC
Most of the 100 Persons on City of
Norfolk Were at Dinner When
Crash Came.

Norfolk. Va, Oct. THE British
steamer Hawkhead, at anchor in
Hampton Roads, off SewalIs Point,
was run down and sunk about 8
o'clock tonight by the Chesapeake
Steamship Company's bay line steam
er City of Norfolk, outward bound
from this port for Baltimore with a
number of passengers. The City Of
Norfolk was badly damaged about the
bow, but there was no loss of life, SO
far as is known. The collision oc-
Cured during heavy fog.
Captain Hand and the crew of the
Hawkhead were taken off by small
boats lowered by the City of Norfolk,
the river steamer Pocahontas and
other craft which were passing. Fiji
teen minutes after being struck the
British ship had settled on the bottom
in thirty feet of water.
Most of the nearly 100 passengers
on the City of Norfolk were at dinner
when the crash came. There was
great excitement for few minutes,
but the officers soon succeeded in re-
storing order. The Pocahontas came
alongside the City of Norfolk and the
passengers were transferred to the
river craft, but they remained there
only a short time, being put aboard a
bay liner of the Baltimore Steam
Packet Company, which took most of
them on to Baltimore. About fifteen
of the passengers elected to return to
Norfolk
Although the City of Norfolk's bow
was carried away for ten feet, the COL
lision bulkheads held and she turned
about and steamed slowly back to this
port, being assisted by tugs. She will
have to go to shipyard for docking
and repairs.
The City of Norfolk was proceeding
to Old Point at a slow rate of speed
because of the fog, but in spite of this
fact she struck the HaWkhead with
great force, tearing a big hole in her
side near the stern. The British ship
filled quickly and went down by the
stern.

THEY CAN'T AGREE

Presence of General Pershing's Force
South OF Border a Stumbling
Block to Mexicans.

Atlantic City, n. J., Oct. 6.-Various
plans for the protection of life and
property along the border again were
discussed by the Mexican-American
joint commission today but without
agreement. Two sessions were held,
the second lasting until night. Both
Mexicans and Americans still hope
that the conferences may be brought
to a satisfactory close by October Is,
but evidence of doubt was apparent
today.
At least four plans for border con-
troll have been suggested, two by the
Americans and two by the Mexicans
all involving the question of with
drawaI of General Pershing's army
from Chihuahua. The Americans have
steadily insisted that Mexico's inter
nal problems, especially the operation
of DEGREES affecting foreigners as well
as the ability of the Carranza govern
ment to afford protection Of foreign
ers and their property, must be con-
sidered as an integral part of any
agreement for border control
Refuse Mexican Request.
The Mexicans have acceded to the
attitude OF the Americans with reluct-
ance. Whether discussions today
brought the commissioners any closer
to an agreement was neither admitted
nor denied. The details were not re-
VeaIed.
That the Americans had served no.
tice on the Mexicans that General
Pershing's force would not be with
drawn until Mexico had demonstrated
its ability to establish order was
again denied tonight by Secretary Of
the Interior Franklin K. Lane, head
of the American commission. He ad-
mitted the attitude Of the Mexicans
remained unchanged but insisted that
from neither side had there come any
suggestion or demand that jeopar-
died the continuance of the confer
ence.

 OMAHA, Dec. 22.-The books of the United States Livestock company charged in federal court here with use of the mails to defraud in sales totaling a million dollars, of wild horses sup posed to have ranged the government reservation in Coconino county, Ari- Zona, were of very little value" C. M. Thompson secretary treasurer of the company, today testified. and in 1912 he packed them in some boxes and put them in the cellar of his house and the mice ate them up." He had been able to find a few scraps of paper the mice had not destroyed, he said, and upon these fragments based his testi- mony concerning the wild horse trans actions. In the purchase and sale Of the mustangs, the witness declared, the United States Livestock company was the victim and not the culprit and actually lost money" in trades for property that was valueless.
 Thompson denied the company was organized as ''get rich quick" scheme. The firm really owned several thous- and head of wild horses, he said, which were mostly traded for real estate,' which was deeded at once to creditors who were pressing for payment" The government witnesses who testified they lost money when they bought mustangs the defendants were alleged to have represented as bred up from imported Percherons' did not buy the horses for the market, Thompson as- serted but admitted they intended to trade them.
