STEAMER RAMS TRANSPORT
American Ship Awaiting Orders To
sci! When Hit-AIl on Board YES
sci Are Taken Off Safely.

An Atlantic Port-The Saratoga, an
American transport, at anchor walt
ing sailing orders, was rammed by the
Panama, an inbound American steam
ship. The Saratoga headed toward
the beach in sinking condition, but
was kept afoat and finally was warped
in to a dock and made fast. Mean
while those on board were safely
taken off in lifeboats or by tugs and
other craft in the harbor, which re-
sponded to distress signals. So far as
is known no one was injured. A deep
hole in the transports port quarter,
extending from below the water line
to the rail, resulted from the collision.
The Captain of the steamer which did
the damage held the bow of his ship
tight against the transport, effectually
blocking the wound. In this position
he kept his vessel until all on board
the transport were taken off. More
than a dozen vessels, including an
American cruiser, were in the rescuing
fleet. A number of them surrounded
the transport after the other steam
ship drew away and supported her I'M
til she. reached shallow waters, two
miles distant. The Saratoga is for
mer Ward Line steamer. The Panama
belongs to the Panama Railroad
Steamship Line.

GIBSON FREIGHT YARDS BURN
Destroying 100000 in Coal, Wheat,
Lumber and Railway Property
Serious Delay Feared.

Chicago, Ill.-A million-dollar fire
swept the Chicago, Indiana and South
ern freight transfer yards at Gibson,
Ind. Nearly 200 cars, half of which
were loaded with coal, wheat and lum.
Der, were destroyed. Two miles of
switching tracks were devastated and
three freight transfer buildings were
reduced to ashes. A four-story office
building, containing freight records of
the affiliated New York Central Lines,
which operate the, yards, was saved.
The fire is believed to have been due
to a leaking carboy of sulphuric acid,
which was part of a carload of chemi.
Gals. The loss of the Gibson yards,
in which much of Chicago freight for
the East is handled, is expected to
cause a serious delay in freight trans
mission.

Washington.-A resolution for sub
mission to the states of a prohibition
amendment to the Federal Constitu'
ton was adopted by the Senate. The
vote was IS to 20, eight more than
the necessary two-thirds. AS adopted
the resolution contains provision that
the states must be asked to ratify the
amendment within six years. The
House still must act on the resolu-
ton. Senator Sheppard, of Texas, au-
thor of the amendment, was delighted.
But it was no more than l expected"
he said I'VE will push it in the
House Immediately and I am confident
it will be passed there, too" The
enactment, as adopted by the Senate,
reads:
"The manufacture, sale or transpor
tation of intoxicating liquors, within,
the Importation thereofsinto, or the ex-
portation thereof, from the United
States and all territory subject to the
jurisdiction thereof for. beverage pEr-
poses is hereby prohibited" -,--
This article shall De imperative I'M
less it shall have been ratified as an
amendment 10 the constitution by the
Legislatures of the several states as
provided in the constitution within six
years from the date of the submission
here to the states by Congress. The
Congress shall have the power to en-
force this article by appropriate leg
islation."
The Sheppard amendment applies
not only to distilled spirits, but to beer
and wine. Attempts to change this
were defeated. So was an attempt by
Senator Hardwick, of Georgia, to pre-
vent the purchase or sale" OF intoxi-
cants as we'll as the manufacture, sale
or transportation" set forth in the bill.
Only Hardwick, Broussard, Reed and
Harding voted for this idea. Sixty-two
Senators voted against it. Senator
Harding inserted the proviso that the
amendment should be null and void If
the states did not ratify it within six
years. Senator Borah held that to at
tach this would impair the constitu-
tionality of the measure.
