ing.
An Atlantic Port, April 26.-The
American line steamship st. Paul
overturned while being warped around
her pier
She had just come from a nearby
drydock
At lest six men were drowned and
others are missing, according to work
men who were allowed TO leave the
pier. Five of the dead were laborers.
One was a member of the ships crew.
y statement by the International
Mercantile Marine, owners of the
American line, placed the death toll
tentatively at three men, all missing.
II said it was impossible at present
10 ascertain the cause of the acct
dent" The statement said operations
are under way to raise the vessel.
James Hancock and Evan D. Thorn
as. machiniSts, who had been at work
on the StarbOard propeller shaft, said
they saw two men crushed to death
between the st. Paul and g. scow
which had been attracted by the sue
ton of the overturning vessel.
Hancock and Thomas confirmed the
report that the st. Paul was listing
before she reached her pier. A call
Cor all hands to come to deck was
shouted. LabOrerS and sailors obey
"d About fifteen minutes later the
ship suddenly turned on her port side.
Meanwhile some of the men had
returned to the interior. They We're
.;,i'@ht inside. Those who had re-
- ned on deck either climbed to the
sd" and were rescued or leaped over
board. Some, it is reported, were
drowned.
Observers from the tops of build
in%S overlooking the pier saw rescuers
cutting holes in the part of the hull
above water, letting down ladders and
bringing up the men who had been
imprisoned.
Passengers on a passing vessel said
they could see men at work in en-
posed parts of the hull cutting holes
through the side with gas flame torch
eS
Volunteers who entered through the
holes, have brought out more than
dozen hysterical and injured men. A
search of the holds is continuing.
Police and fire boats prevented the
approach of other craft. 1t was re-
ported that soon after the st. Paul
overturned, fire started in an unsub
merged part of the vessel. The fire
boats fought and eXtinguished the
flames.
According to Hancock and Thomas
the fires aboard which were caused by
the overturning of small rivet furn-
aces were extinguished without caus-
ing damage.
One explanation of the cause of the
accident was that the ST. Paul's coal
ports had been left open, through
which water entered during the nor
NAL list of the vessel as she turned to
enter the pier slip. Another theory is
that some of her seacocks had been
left open or cargo had shifted.
Wrecking tugs arrived quickly and
at once began the task of raising her.

MORE SMOKES MONEY
AS RESULT OF BAKE

About ten days ago, as announced in

ranged and conducted by C. NJ. Mont
gomery, Helen Dugan, Margare'
Thomas and Regina Devlin, all children,
for the benefit Of "Our Boys in France
Tobacco Fund These same children,
with the help Of Miss Myrtle Carter, Of
No. S2i West Sixth street, conducted
another bake sale on Saturday morning
on the same general plan, as a result
of which Our Boys in France Tobacco
Fund" is increased by $3.50.
The good work these children are do
ing undoubtedly will bring a great deal
Of pleasure TO the lucky soldiers who
will receive presents Of tobacco and
cigarettes as a result Of this bake. To-
days contribution is sufficient to sup
ply ii0 soldiers with tobacco and cigar
cites TO last them a week. At the
present time when so many Americans
are engaged in active work at the front
the people at home hardly realize Just
what sufficient smokes means TO
fighting man, often alone in some de
tached position. Through the aid OF
the Red Cross the tobacco and cigar
cites sent over by "Our Boys in France
Tobacco Fund" are distributed where
they will do the most good. There is
urgent need for largely increased con-
tributions as a result Of the increased
number OF troops constantly going TO
France. The government ration is in
sufficient TO supply the soldiers, especi-
ally when they are on active duty.
