OTRANT0 SINKS
 366 AMERICAN SOLDIERS DROWN Armed Mercantile Cruiser in Collision With Trans port Kashmir. SHIPS SMASHED
 IN HEAVY STORM Number of Troops From In terior of us. and Could
 Not Swim.

An Irish Port, Oct. 12-(By the Associated Press)-Amer1can soldiers numbering 364 or 366 perished when the British armed mercantile cruiser Otranto and the transport Kashrnir collided in the north channel, between Scotland and Ireland, last Sunday.
 Three hundred American soldiers and 30 French sailors and 266 mem bers of the crew of the Otranto have beenI anded at a port In northern Ireland. Sixteen other survivors have been picked up at Islay.
 More than 200 bodies had been re- covered this morning and many of them have been buried.
 The Otranto is a total wreck on the Island of Islay. The Kashmir landed it's troops at a Scottish part without loss of life.
 The troopships collided while a heavy storm was raging and the Otranto, with a gaping hole in her side then drifted helplessly towards the rocky coast. A number of troops on board were from the interior of the United States and were without experience at sea. They had preferred to remain on the bigger ship rather than risk jumping to the small destroyer Noun sey, and they seemed to be cheered by the sight of land.
 The hopes of the men that they would be able to make a safe landing, however, were dispelled by the Otran- to's captain when he shouted from the bridge:
 Well, boys, we will have to swim for it''
 About that time the troopship slid with hardly jar onto shelving rock, which, as a wave receded, held the vessel in viselike grip.
 The vicious sea began to rend the ship to pieces. The steel deckhouse was wrenched bodily from its fasten- ings by the enormous waves and hurl- ed into the breakers, sweeping many men away with it.
 The ship had struck about a mile from shore and on the cliffs stood groups of islanders eager to send aid, but which it was impossible even to attempt. Owing to the terrific wind there was no chance of getting a line to the ship, which now was fast breaking up.
 Scores of men began to jump and many immediately were seized by the waves and hurled against the sides of the ship.
 About noon the Otranto was lying on the crest of high comber and dashed back to the rock so heavily that the vessel broke squarely in two (Continued on Page 3.)

DOES NOT THINK
 CONNECTICUT co.
 WILL RAISE FARE

Hartford, Oct. 12-Concerning a report that the Connecticut company was considering the advisa bility of advancing the trolley fares to seven
 cents with an additional cent for a transfer, Richard T. Higgins, chair man of the Public Utilities commits sion said today that the commission had not received any intimation from the company of such intention, but he did not suppose the company would increase the rates without first conferring with the commission and he did not think it was likely the company would fix a transfer charge of any sum. Chairman Higgins said he appreciated the fact that company was in need of a greater income and that it could not get the increase from any source except the fares of passengers but there was the danger of making this source less productive of revenue by the establishment of rates that would give encouragement to competing means of transportation.

HAIGHT SHOOTS SELF SADDENED BY LOVE AFFAIR With Two Bullet Wounds in Lung Life is in Serious
 Danger. CONSIGNED LOVE
 TO THE FLAMES Body Found Unconscious in Lot Near W. E. Seeley's
 Home.

The unconscious form of Oakley Haight, 19, of s56 Fairfield avenue, was found at o'clock this morning in vacant lot near the residence of William B. seeley 306 Brooklawn ave- nue, with two bullet wounds in his left lung just above the heart He was removed to St. Vincent's hospital, where he later stated he had been held up by an unidentified man. The po- lice say 1t was a plain cast of at tempted suicide. He is not expected to live.
 Many persons in the neighborhood were startled at the sound of the shots and James Stafford of 791 Cleve- land avenue with Ivan Ward of 130 Hillside avenue were the first to reach the prostrate form of the wounded man. They summoned Patrolman | Dellaco of the Third Precinct who was hurrying in the direction of the shooting. A call was sent to the | Emergency hospital, responded to by Dr. Frank E. Gavlas, who had the wounded man removed to St. Vim cents hospital.
 A .22-calibre Colts automatic pistol was found in the lot by Harold See | ley. Two cartridges had been dis charged
 | According to information gleaned from a. number of letters found in the young mans room, he was engaged to be married, but had a disagreement with his fiance. He asked his land lady, Mrs. Futile, last evening, if he could burn bundle of letters. This request was granted. Mrs. Futile stated today that she believed the let ters were from the sweetheart.
 Among the papers found in his room was an envelope upon which had been library book; Gordon, the tailor on State street, has a pair of creamers; Knapp, the government inspector owes me $2.5O; I have government check coming the 22nd pf this month Address as below or it is apt to go astray. Mother in haste"
 Then follows this address: Oakley V. Haight. Corner Magnolia and First street, Highland Park, New Brunswick, New Jersey, care of c. A Waterbury, Jr.'
 The only description which Haight seems able to give of his assailant is that the man was a stranger to him was about five feet ten in height and was exceedingly dirty looking He does not say what amount of money was stolen from him, nor does he give any account of other valuables miss. ing.
 His financial affairs must have beer at a rather low ebb for among the pa pers found in his room were two pawr
 tickets, one for a cigarette case anc the other for a ring. He has saic
 nothing of his troubles, if he had any
 but friends have noticed that within
 the last few days he has been melan IcEoly.
