Big Steamer Lies on

Accident or Design.
Soldiers on Guard.
WAS CRUISER in
THE SPANISH WAR
By the United Press

NEW YORK, April 25.-The
big American liner St. Paul sank
at her dock at the foot Of 21st
street shortly after noon today.
Her seacocks are supposed to
have been left open, either from
accident or design. As far as Is
known there was no loss Of life.
The steamer was coming from
the Brooklyn drydocks, where
she has been undergoing repairs
since her arrival from European
port April IS. As she was warp
ing into her birth alongside pier
81, in the North river, she began
20 sink. She settled slowly into
the ooze Of the river bed and is
now lying on her port side, only
partially submerged.
A heavy guard Of soldiers and
policemen was instantly thrown
about her. The only information
given out was a police statement
that it was believed that her sea-
cocks had been opened.
The government investigation
as to opening of the seacocks was
extended to the Erie basin, where
the big liner had been laid up.
1--WE believe a hole was left IN
her side" said one investigator.
After a checking up Of all
aboard, It was announced this af-
ternoon that two of the worlmen
had been injured.
The ST. Paul was towed from
the drydock by tugs. She start
ed to settle just as she rounded the
end Of the wharf. Every effort
was made to get her into the slip
so she would not go down in deep
water. As she settled and struck
bottom, she csreened over on heI
port side.
Ambulances were rushed to
the pier but il was decided thai
there had been no loss of life
Police and military officials were
checking up the members Of the
crew, however, so that each mem
Der will be accounted for. Nc
one viii be allowed to enter Of
leave the pier until the investiga
ton has been completed.

COMPENSATION FOR
USE OF ROADS TOO
HIGH, SAYS IHORNE

Emphasizing the fact that the
method OF determining the cOmpen-
sation OF the railroads for their use
ythe Government is based on prin-
ciples which Secretary Lane himself
90 a member OF the Interstate Com
mission had branded as unreason-
able ami unjust" Clifford Thorne,
former president of the National As
ISOLATION OF Railway Commissioners,
and now counsel for Western live
stock men, grain shippers and indie
pendent oil refineers, before the SEN
ate Interstate COmmirce Committee
today declared the compensa ton pro-
posede in the Administration bill eX-
cessive and unfair to the public.
Setting forth specific instances OF
what the return TO the roads would be
under the administration measure.
Mr.. Thorne told the committee the
bill would guarantee mere than a 20
per cent return on the capital stock
Of the Burlington. He said that in re-
turn for the per cent stock OF the
Santa Fe, the bill would give ''prac-
ticaily a Government bond for 10 per
cent during the war" Asserting there
was no uniformity in the plan of ccm-
pensation, he pointed out that the
Colorado Midland would get a guar
antse of a ten-million-dollaT deficit
while the Pittsburgh and Lake Erie
would be guaranteed a profit CT over
IL per cent on its property investment.
Cites Business Method.
Mr.. Thorne declared that on top of
guarantees of interest on bonds\snd
guarantees OF dividends on stock It
was proposed in the pending bill ito
guarantee these stockholders a sur
plus above dividends approximately
eight times as large asSthe surplus
guaranteed to British railroad stock
holders on the average"
He also said that the effect of the
bill would be to substitute Govern
ment bonds for railroad securities.
Mr.. Thorne urged as a substitute
that the standard return to any car
rier paying dividends of 8 per Get or
more shall be confined to payment Of
interest and dividend obligations, in
addition to guarantee that the Gov
eminent will keep properties in good
condition and maintain credit.
Expresses Shipper VIewE.
Mr.. Thorne took the position that
the Interstate Commerce Commission
should keep control OF rates. He said
the thousands OF shippers whom he
represented were in sympathy with
Government operation, but that con-
troll of operation should not extend
to uprooting the existing laws as TO
control of rates.
Mr.. Thorne's opposition TO The compen-
sation plan embodied In the pending
railroad bill is a forerunner OF much op-
position to this plan. A number Of Sen
atora. especially those from the West.
will urge that the pay Of the railroads
be cut.
On the other hand. some OF the rail-
road executives are demanding more pay
than the bill would allow. c..
Judge ThOm's TestInOny.
Judge A. P. Thom, as counsel for a
large number OF leading roads, told
the committee that the pay would
be based on earnings about the time
the roads were taken over by the
Government The bill provides that
the compensation shall be based on
the average of the net operating in
come for the three-year period ending
June 80, 1917.
