ELEVEN DIE WHEN
ship IS CRUSHED
BY FALLING TANK
Steamer Crashes Into Wharf,
Loosening Fifty-Ton Reser-
voir That Falls on Crowd
ed Decks.
tBy Associated Press.)

Milwaukee, July l.-Eleveu per
sons met death and at least ten others
were injured, some seriously, Satur-
day, the result of ffty-ton water
tank, erected on the Milwaukee river
front, topping down on the whale
back steamer Christopher Columbus,
as that vessel was being swung around
preparatory to making its return trip
with about 400 passengers for Chill
cago.
The steamer was in tow of two
tugs when it rammed the East Water
street dock, abutting the warehouse OF
the Yahr & lLange Drug company,
with such force as to cause the steel
supports which held the fifty-ton
water tank to give way, resulting in
the lofty reservoir crashing down
hitting the vessel near the bridge and
not stopping until it had ripped
through two decks, causing panic
and carrying death or injury to all
who were in its path.
Captain Moody, who was on the
bridge at the time Of the accident
gave it as his opinion that the tugs
seemed unable to hold the boat and
that had there been leeway of but
six inches, the accident would not
have happened.
The tank fell on the upper deck
of the vessel, which was crowded with
passengers. Many are said to have
been knocked off the vessel into the

fort WORTH. TEX,
TENTATIVELY AS
CAMP OF N. n. G.
Plan for July rs Call May Be
Changed to August 5; Sec
retary of War Baker to
Decide.

Washington, July 1.-The Ne
braska National Guard will be sent
to camp at Fort Worth, Tex, when
it is drafted into the federal service,
if tentative plans OF the War depart
ment are carried out. '''
In announcing the tentative seiec-
ton of camps for the central states
the War department also reversed its
previously announced decision to hold
the National Guard at local armories
for two or three weeks after it is
drafted into the federal service. In
stead, under plans now proposed, all
the National Guard will be sent di-
rectly to camp Immediately after
mobilization.
The tentative selection OF camps
for. the National Guard Of the CEN
trail states, as announced, is as fol-
lows:
Nebraska, Iowa, Minnesota and
Dakotas Division--Fort Worth, Tex.
Illinois Division-Waco, Tex.
Indiana-Kentucky Division-Anni-
ston, Ala.
Michigan-Wisconsin Division -
Houston, Tex.
These selections are not final, as
there are two camps in the southeast
ern department which are yet to be
selected by General Wood. 1t is
hardly likely this will change the To-
cation of the central troops, as the
eastern state troops will be distribut-
ed among the camps in General
Woods department.
The>only change in the plan at pres
ent considered is one delaying until
August the date when all National
Guard units are to be drafted into the
federal service. This plan has been
urged as necessary TO prevent in
equalties in rank, since the relative
rank of officers dates from their draft,
and those called out July IS would
have an advantage over those called
out July Is and August 5.
