TELLS Of RESCUE
FROM LINCOLN
Johansen Was Picked Up al
Sea-Comes Home on Ar
rival at Port.

| Arthur +. Johansen, engineman
first class on the U. s. transport Pres
ident Lincoln which was sunk off the
coast of France by a submarine on
Friday morning, June l, arrived safe
| ly in an Atlantic port yesterday and
visited relatives for q few hours In
| this city last night
| He told a stirring account of his
| escape from the big troop ship after
the Hun undersea craft had dis
! charged a torpedo at his vessel. All
ON board of the vessel with the ex-
| ception of four officers and twenty
men were rescued.
| There has been considerable anxi-
| ETY. for JohanSon's safety among
| relatives in this city as it was not
definitely known whether or not he
had shipped on this vessel on it's fatal
trip across the Atlantic.
| JohanSen had crossed the Atlantic
five times, this being his sixth voyage
on the President Lincoln. 1t was at
first thought possible that he had
| been transferred to another ship and
| communication from the navy de-
partment to his brother gave the in
/ formation that he was one of the
crew and had not been reported
| among the lost.
The local boy. together with other
survivors from the President Lincoln,
was picked up by one OF the rescue
ships which was on it's way to an At
lantic port. The ship landed safely
yesterday and the survivors from the
I President Lincoln were given shore
| leave. As soon as he got ashore
Johansen headed for this city and
last night thrilled his listeners with
his account of the attack on the troop
ship, the quick work done in getting
the wounded soldiers which were be-
ling brought back to this country in
the lifeboats, of the struggle for life
of many who jumped into the water
and the final rescue of the survivors
by vessels sent to their aid following
the wireless call of the President
Lincoln.
! Johansen's home In this city is in
| Brighton avenue. He enlisted in the
navy last summer and after some pre-
| liminary training was assigned to the
! President Lincoln. Upon his last trip
he received the gold stripe. Owing
! to the fact that he had but a short
leave hts visit in this city last nigh,
was brief but it put an end to the un-
| certainty which has existed concerning
! his whereabouts since the sinking OF
the President Lincoln. The name OF
! the ship which did the rescue work
| was not disclosed by him.

CHARITIES BODY
| TOLAUNCH WORK
New State Board for COrrec-
tionaI and Charity Work to
Meet on June ~.
By Special Correspondent

TRENTON, June 13-Final ar
rangements for the launching OF the
plans of the new state board OF CHAR
tiles to take the place of the present
department will be made at a meeting
in the Carteret Club, Jersey City at
one o'clock on June "a.
This was announced here following
q meeting of the new body. The board
takes Office on the first of July and be-
fore that tate it must name SUD.
boards to manage all the duHerent
state institutions under its control.
There are about seventy-fve appoint
ments of this kind to be made, each
institution to be managed by sub
body of five, and it is planned to
make these appointments at the COM
ing Jersey City meeting. A number
of them have practically been de-
cided upon. but inasmuch as they
must be approved by the Governor.
the names have not been announced.
Burdette G.. Lewis. the newly named
Com missioner of Charities and Cor
rections who is to direct the new de-
partment has practically assumed his
duties. 1t is understood that Mr.
Lewis is to receive the sum of $4,000
year. This was the original maxi
mum amount considered when the
legislation was pending re-organizing
the new department, but in the list
of suggestions submitted by Governor
Edge to the new board Tor re-orean-
izing the Department of Charities.
Governor Edge fixed the figure at $s,-
! 600 and expenses Because OF the
| fact that the unofficial meetings OF
the new board held to date have been
behind closed doors, no definite lnfor-
nation has been obtainable on this
part of the re-arrangements OF the
charities work. Ogden HI. Hammond,
of Somerset county, a member OF the
com mission and acting chairman in
| the absence Of Dwight W. Morrow.
said yesterday that he thought Mr..
Lewis would receive the full amount
originally contemplated. Lewis was
formerly Charities Commissioner in
New York city. He practically began
| his duties yesterday at the unofhcial
meeting of the commission and will az
once start on a tour Of inspection OF
all the state institutions.
At the coming Jersey City meeting
| il ia planned also to decide on the
different bureau chiefs who are to
head the different divisions of the de-
| partment, including the Bureau of Pa
| role, Bureau of Statistics, Agriculture
| and Labor Education and others.
| There have been some active candi-
dates for these places. One of the
names most mentioned as a probable
selection Is that of Joseph Thompson,
well known Ocean county Republican.
! These places will probably carry safa-
ries averaging $4,000 a year. Barton
T. Fell, of this city, well known Re-
! publican, who was named as secretary
! to the new board some time ago, was
| present at the meeting here yesterday.
His salary has not been announced.
