looked like so much golden grain in
its ripening stage. The leaf was
silky in texture, just right in condi-
ton and was of a color the prettieSt
ever seen lined up for inspection.
While some few baskets of the off
grades sold as low as $12 to Sic, the
great bulk Of the offering went above
$40, then $50, then $50 and as high
as $78.
The manufacturers big four

rear. The sale was the best ever
made on the Paris market and re-
suited in the highest floor average

BRITISH VESSEL
QUITE DESTROYED

An Atlantic Port, April 17.-Thir-

Of tire crew of the o. B. Jen-

All who persisted, with n excep-

They were burned to death by
blazing gas and oil.
Those who survived the flames
on the War Knight were rescued
in the nick of time by destroyers
for soon after, while the blazing
hull was being towed toward shall
low water, it struck a mine and
was blown up.
The destroyers went to the res
cue through a field of blazing oil
and took off all the GREY of the
Jennings. A number of the crew
of the American ship, however,
were badly burned and had to be
removed to hospitals after being
landed.

EXPLOSION INSTANTLY
FOLLOWS COLLISION

An officer of the O. B. Jennings
who told the story of the disaster
supported in his statements by men,
bers of the crew said the collision oc-
CURED after 2 a. m. when they were
within Is miles of their destination.
He added that it was caused by the
necessity of running without lights
owing to submarine danger.
''We had had an exceptionally
rough trip" the officer said, 'as a
result the churning of the bulk oil
we carried had caused a tremendous
amount of gas. When the War
Knight hit us there was an instant
explosion, caused no doubt by a
! spark from the impact of the steel,
| setting the gas on fire. Immediately
there was a roar of flame spouting
out OF the hole in the Jennings side
which all but enveloped the British
er. Thirty-sR of her crew Of about
so were on the deck at the time ana
they must have been almost instant
ly incinerated.
1--WE drifted apart and n of the
destroyers by which we were con-
voyed managed to get a line On her
and was towing her to the beach
when in some manner the burning
ship drifted on to a mine field and
blew up. The case oil with which
she was loaded took fire and com
p,eted her destruction. We had our
own safety to look after.
THE destroyers dashed through
the burning oil and bumped along
side us and we jumped to their
decks. We lost only one man, a sea-
man named Shea.
"The Jennings being a menac to
other ships, the destroyers fired a
number of shots into her. She set.
tied until her decks were level with
the water, e~xtinguishing the flames
and afterward was taken in tow anG
beached.
'"The accident came at the close Of
a rough and exciting voyage which
had set the nerves of our crew on
edge through the previous %unaccount-
ed for disappearance of several ships
of our convoy. They may have been
diverted or they may have been tor-
pedoed. We never knew further than
the fact that they were gone when
we looked for them"
The British War Knight, the e s
sci destroyed through the collision
was of 1891 tons gross register, built
at Alameda, Calf, in 1917. The O..
B. Jennings was owned by the Stand
ard Oil company and was a steamer
of 10,290 tons gross register.

BOL0 PASHA HAS
PAID PENALTY Of
HIS TREACHERY
Rifle Bullets Put End to
Life of Convicted
Traitor Today.
DEATH WITH
OUT STRUGGLE

(By Leased Wire to New Mexican.)
Paris, April 17.-Standing before a
firing squad in the forest of Vim.
cennes early today Paul Bolo Pasha,
condemned traitor, lost entirely the
attitude of indifference he has main
tanned subsequent to and during his
trial. When the order to fire was
given, the rifles spoke and Bolo
crumpled up with several bullets in
his head. Escorted by several guards,
Bolo left the Santa prison, 40 min
utes before his execution. After
leaving the automobile at Vincennes,
he listened to the exhortation of a
prison chaplain. Then his eyes we're
b~andaged and he went without a
struggle to his place before the firing
squad.
so much better; / am delighted
Bolo exclaimed when awakened this
morning by Commandant Julien, of
the Third court martial, who told
him that the hour of expiation had
arrived. These were the only words
spoken by Bolo except for instruc-
lions to the chaplain to take from his
body a silk lace handkerchief which
he placed on hisschest and give 1t to
his brother, Monsignor Bolo. The
condemned man went to his execu-
tion in a new suit of clothes,
brought to the prison by his brother,
and wearing white gloves.
