Portland, Maine, Sept. 23.-The
Eastern Steamship Corporations
steamer Bay State. bound from Boston
for Portland, went ashore CT Haly

Elizabeth during a heavy fog early
today. The 200 passengers wei e taken

The coast guard cutter Ossipee and
the tug Portland. notified by wire

Bay State, but, as the steam er was
pounding heavily it was thought ad-
visable to have the passengers re-
moved by the crew of the Cape Eliza
beth coast guard station. Socn after
daylight the steamer commenced
blowing out her boilers and it ap-
peared probable that her bottom had
been punctured. 1t was feared she
could not be saved.
Light Ship Off Duty.
The Bay State was sighted ap-
preaching the rocks by one of the
coast guard crew at $50 O'Clock. 1t
was believed the absence of the Cape
Elizabeth light ship which was re-
moved from her station for repairs
three days ago may have caused the
steamer to run off her course. As
the boat struck only 800 feet from
shore and there was little Wind, the
coast guard crew had no difficulty in
getting out to her and the passenge
were removed safely. The sixty MEM
bers of the crew remained aboard.

Little Willie Always Was a Bad
YOungster.
At Age of z, Tried to Put Sis
ter in Hot Oven.

New Orleans, La. Sept 23.-Little
Willie thinner. II, who shot his
mother to death here July IA, will not
be tried for murder. Altho he made
no positive statement. Chandler c.
Gutenberg, district attorney, intimated
today the boy would neither be sent
to the gallows nor imprisoned for life
The plea of thousands of Youngsters
and club women in nearly every state
in the Union has had it's effect. and
life all over again.
Willie killed his mother because she
tried to beat him with broomstick.
Willie's parents are separated. On
the day of the killing he had been
with his father. The father thrashed
him for some trivial offense, so Willie
went to his mothers home for COM
fort. But Mrs. thinner was in no
comforting mood. He offended her
and when she raised a stick to striks.
him he fired bullet into her breast.
She tried to run, but second bullet
lodged in her abdomen She con-
tinued to run and, when she reached
an aileyway fell, crying, willie has

Sister Would ssCut His Head off,
Nearly every page of the history of
Wlllie's life is a thriller. Neighbors
say he has been a bad boy from the
first step. Five years ago he at
tempted to place a younger sister in
bake oven and roast her. When the
boy was arrested for his mothers
murder this little girl begged the
officers for knife.
Please give me knife she
pleaded. "I'll cut his head off and
avenge my mother
These same neighbors said Willie's
favorite pastime was dissecting cats
and many a neighborhood feline met
its fate at the hands of the little Zirn-
mer boy. He was a leader in any
mischievous undertaking the younger
element undertook
Since his arrest Willie has been m
different. Until today he had never
expressed sorrow for his deed.
! At Last He's Sorry.
! I'm sorry I killed my mother he
! said today, but she tried to beat me-
/ and that's why l killed her"
Local club women contend the boy
hasn't had the proper care il, his early
days. which deprived him of an even
break in his battle of life. With
| proper environments they hope to
make a man of the little fellow. Pres
ent plans call for five or six-year
course in some institution other than
: penal.

'4B0NEY" LOST OUT
Hurley Defeated Caddy Phenom
i'm Semi-Finals, 8 and /.
Victory Practically Assured
Him of a Final Triumph.

The advantage of years and super
ior experience were again demonstrate
ed today when Harlow Hurley, state
champion defeated Arthur Bonebrake
in the semi final round of the first
flight of the Country club Invitation
golf tournament today, winning 3 up
ard l to play.
Because of the fact that Onstott and
Payne the other survivals in the first
flight were not conceded chance to
win out in the final round. the match
between Bonebrake and Hurley was
the feature of the tournament and was
followed by a large gallery of onlook-
ers.
Hurley won largely thru luck and
his superior putting At the end of
the first nine holes Bonebrake was
one up. but the champion played a
wonderful game on the second round,
making the eight holes in 81 which is
one under par and seven under bogey.
Starting the match Hurley got the
advantage, taking the first hole to
s. He fell down badly on the second
and after repeated attempts to get out
of a sand pit gave up the hole. The
third was halved and Bonebrake took
the next three. Each player got
five on the seventh and Hurley took
the last two, making him one down on
the nine.
Second Round.
1t was on the SecOGu TOulu lIldt
Hurley began to show his class, altho
little 'tBoney'' played him a fast game
and carried the match to the eighth
hole before giving up. On the first
hole Hurley got in a trap, but holed
out on a long putt.
On the second hole both were on
the green in two and the hole was
halved Long accurate drives put both
close to the green on the third in one.
but neither was able to putt accurately
and this hole was halved in four.
"Boney'' made a poor approach. but
succeeded in laying stymie which
saved him from losing the hole.
On the fourth hole Hurley was half
stymied again, but he went in the
cup after hitting Bonebrake's ball and
took the hole. On the fifth "Boney'
drove into a bush on the branch and
Hurley won again. The sixth and
seventh were halved and the best the
lad could hope for was to win the
| eighth and ninth and force the match
to extra holes. But this he was unable
| to do.
Hurley made very poor drive from
the tee on the eighth while .Boneyi
cleared the branch and had a beauti-
| full second shot. But. on his second
| he went over the green and into the
sand pit and this enabled Hurley to
| hole out in three and beat him.
