Ellen was reversing its wheels, had
carried the entire fleet north.
Eye witnesses were panic stricken
and a huge cry went up. The score OF
men on the Ellen. each experienced on
the river, remained calm I'm the face OF
the crash they knew was impending
and did everything they could to les
sen the force of the collision.
But the weight of the feet was
great. Estimates could not be secured
today Suffice to say the boats are
all of the large type The dredge is
100 feet long, the Ellen is 125 feet
long and % feet wide. and the quarter
boat is so feet long. The fuel flats each
are 120 feet long, and each of the pom
toons is 80 feet long. All of the boats
were heavily loaded.
Ellen Remains AflOat.
The Ellen is seriously damaged.
There is a broken guard in the side OF
the vessel although it leaked a little
last night where it was stove in. 1t
is thought that there are other tim
bers in the vessel which are IOosened
and broken and a general Overhauling
will be necessary to make the boat
safe, despite the fact that it is Still
aflOat.
The stacks of the dredge were
smashed. Other boats in the feet
were damaged some. The extent of
the damage in dollars and cents could
not be estimated today as a careful in
spectiOn will be made before the
amount of loss is reported.
AS darkness settled over the river
no attempts were made to move the
fleet last night 1t was thought mad
visable to attempt to remove the boats
| in the darkness, as it was feared that
/ further damage might result.
| Work began bright and early today
| in righting matters and it is expected
! by evening the feet will be cleared.
/ The Ellen will be unable to move from
! her present position under her own
| power. A tug will be used to tow each
| boat separately.
| One of the fuel flats broke loose or
was cut loose from the tow when the
| accident occurred. 1t floated down the
river, but was rescued by the ferry
and taken ashore.

BARRETT COMING
ON VISIT TO CITY
Man Who Conceived and Carried Out
Worlds craftsmanship Congress
Accepts Local Invitation.
DATE NOT YET DETERMINED
Case of One Young Man Illustrates Ex-
celIent Work Y. VI. {. A. Is Doing
for Those in Need of HELD,

D. NJ. Barrett of Detroit, who con-
ceived and carried out the great
worlds craftsmanship congress which
has just closed in Detroit, has written
the Rock Island Y. NJ. c. A, accepting
its invitation to visit the tri-cities some
time next fall. Some conception of the
magnitude Of this worlds salesman
ship congress may be gathered from the
fact that it was considered OF so much
Importance that Sir Thomas Upton
and Gordon SeIfridge came from Lon
| don, England President Wilson came
from Washington to deliver the open
ing address.
1t was by far the most constructive
piece of craftsmanship work ever con-
| ceived. The tri-cities will enjoy real
treat in having Mr.. Barrett spend some
time in their midst.
Wanted HandOut.
Here is a true story: He came in
for a handout and he got it. but not in
just the way he had expected The
handOut which he did get was the hand
outstretched in welcome The hand
out he had asked for was his supper
His story was little different from that
of many young men who, following the
leadings of a wanderlust, find them
selves in front of the Rock Island Y NJ
c. A, without money and without
friends. He was a university grad
uate, but had developed habits while
in college that had undermined his
manhood so that he was not ashamed
to walk in and boldly ask for a hand
out
After telling his story, which he had
no intention of telling when he came
in, he was ready to admit that up to
the present time his life had been
largely a failure. He had few quail
fcations to recommend him for any
position, as he had not had to work
before he went to college, and had had
no. inclination TO work since leaving
college. The heart TO heart talk had
disclosed TO this young man that he
was his own worst enemy and it had
also brought him to a repentant mood.
In fact he gave evidence of having
reached the point where he was truly
repentant, not only sorry for his sins,
but sorry enough to quit
Works Every Day NoE.
He agreed to accept such employ
ment as he could get until he could
discover himself and likewise give his
employers a chance to discover what
was in him. He is working in Rock
Island today and has been every day
since he called at the association, so
that in truth he got what he asked for,
and what he needed, although it was
not at the time what he wanted.

FOURTEEN BOATS
IN FLEET STRIKE
PIERS OF BRIDGE
When the Tug Ellen Loses Con-
troll of Her Tow.
P0NTOoxS SWING TO THE NORTH
Steamer and Dredge are Considerably
Damaged. Although Full Extent
is Not Yet known.

A feet of Il United States boats
crashed into the Rock Island bridge az
SIS o'clock last night, seriously dam
aging the tug Ellen and dredge.
Scores Of persons afoot. in automo-
hiles and on street cars, held back
when the draw span had been lifted,
witnessed the collision A cry went
up as the spectators saw the fleet was
10 strike the bridge.
The Rock Island fire department
was called, the police department
summoned and other officials in Rock
Island notified by persons at the
scene. Authorities were told that the
feet was on fire. but this was not the
case. and the truth was learned in
time to prevent a needless response to
the summons. The story of the acct
dent spread like wild-tire in the tri-
cities. and it was not long before thou
sands crowded the bridge. The bridge
guards were taxed in handling the
traffic and keeping people moving.
The fleet started from the Moline
pool, where it has been for the last
month. early in the evening. 1t was
bound for the boat yards at the mouth
OF Rock river. The intention was to
move the boats from there to Musca-
tine today. Dredging work was to
have been started at Muscatine Mon
day
The Ellen was pushing the dredge
boat ahead Of it. On one side was a
quarter boat used as a sleeping place
for workmen. Attached to the Ellen
in the rear were two coal fat boats
and next, ten pontoon dredge tenders
making Il vessels in all in the fleet.
At a reasonable distance from the
bridge the Ellen sounded the signal
for swinging the draw This was
done John F. Suffer of LeCIaire a
rapids pilot, was master Of the boat
and was at the wheel
Current Swings Tow.
He started swinging the Ellen to-
wards the opened span and general
belief is that the current caught the
tow. swinging the entire fleet to the
north. Pilot Suffer, seeing that the
Ellen had lost control of the tow in
the swift current, and knowing that
he could not hope to swing the whole
fleet back in line to get through the
opened span, started reversing the en-
CINE.
His aim in this was TO back up and
prevent a collision with the bridge.
The current, however, was too swift
Despite the reversing Of the powerful
engine. the current gradually carried
the feet down stream, the rear end
OF the tow swinging around.
There was a resOunding crash when
the Ellen struck the first pier north
of the opened span. The current
catching the tow as it did while the

car struck him. They also recommend
cd that two Mexicans, Andres Con
zales and Manuel Bielma, be held TO
the grand jury, the first of these belng
the one who was seen with castro
shortly before IL o'clock. When TINS
verdict was presented TO me, l told
them that the Mexicans could not be
held to the grand jury unless thelr
verdict held the men responsible for
the death of Castro, and | wrote out
the form of verdict necessary to hold
them. provided that the testimony JUS
tilted it, | explained the matter to
them fully and explained it to them
in the presence of the coroner. They
advised me that was all the informa-
ton they wanted and the coroner told
me he would not need me any more,
so / went home.
Under the evidence the coroner's
jury could do nothing but what they
finally did do. 1t is no criticism what
ever of the police authorities of this
county when we say that they did not
have sufficient evidence to justify the
coroner's jury in holding any person
responsible for Castro's death. So far
as the evidence shows, Castro may
have merely fallen down on the pave
ment and knocked himself uncon-
sciOus without the assistance of the
criminal act of any person.
Il don't make this explanation to
protect myself because l believe the
readers of your paper know that l will
take care of the duties of my office. |
simply want your readers to under
stand that the gentlemen who COM
posed this coroner's jury did their full
duty and did all they could under the
evidence. | want to repeat that the
evidence is a matter of record and
every citizen of this county is entitled
to read it if he sees fit"
