 The boat ran into the Peoria shore in fog It backed away and began sinking immediately. water rushing through large hole in the bow
 The boat instantly began sending out signals of distress and several wa ter craft from this city rushed to the scene
 Loss of life Is said to have resulted largely from the panic that followed immediately on the boat as it began to sink, Doctors and nurses were rushed to the scene from Peoria. Some sur. vivors have been taken to Pekin on a relief train.
 The Columbia turned over some dis tance from the bank about F 45 a. III At 3 o'clock railroad men were busy rounding up the survivors in an effort to determine how many were missing althoueh all had not yet been taken off the boat who were alive.

what WIS settled for America In the great age upon whose inspiration We draw today. This Is surely fitting place from which calmly to look ou upon our task, that we may fortify our spirits for its accomplishment. And this Is the appropriate place from which to uyoW, alike to the friends who look on and to the friends with whom we have the happiness to be as sociated In action. the faith and pnF- pose with which We act
 This. then, is our conception of the great struggle in which We are en- gagged. The plot is written plain upon every scene and every act of the Su- preme tragedy. On the one hand stand the peoples of the world-not only the peoples actually engaged, but many others also who suffer under mastery but cannot act; peoples of many races and in every part of the World-the people Of stricken Russia still, among the rest. though they are for the mo ment unorganized and helpless. Op- posed to them, masters of many arm les, stand an isolated, fFiendleSS group of governments who speak no common purpose but only selfish ambitions of their own by which none can profit but themselves, and whose peoples are fuel in their hands; governments which fear their people and yet are for the time their sovereign lords, mak ing every choice for them and dispos- ing of their lives and fortunes as they will. as well as of the lives and for tunes of every people who fall under their power governments clothed with the strange trappings and the primitive authority of an age that is altogether alien and hostile to our own. The past and the present are in deadly grapple and the peoples of the world are being done to death between them.

Van Cortlandt's
100000 Estate
Goes to Columbia
Will Filed Does Not En-
body Decedent's Wishes,
Says Executor

A will of Robert B. Van Cortlandt.
descendant of the Van Cortiandts of
Colonial days, who took his own life
on February l8, has been fled with the
surrogate at White Plains, but there is
some doubt AS to whether it embodies
the Intentions of Mr.. Van Cortlandt at
the time CT his death. 1t was signed
on May 8, 1899, and under it's pro-
VISIONS most of the estate would go to
Columbia University.
The instrument was not offered for
probate, however. 1t was merely filed.
and 1t Is probable tina. if a petition for
Its probate is filed in the immediate
future it will be by Columbia Uni
verslty. The executors of the estate
are still engaged in a search for later
Will more HI accord with the inten-
tions expressed by Mr. Van Cortlandt
shortly before his death. At that time
he made no mention Of Columbia as a
beneficiary.
AS to the possibility of a contest
OF the present document no plans have
yet been made. Any such action would
depend largely upon the attitude taken
by Mrs. John Matthews, the testator's
sister, who is not mentioned in the will
that is on file. She has lived in Eng
land for years and communica ton with
her under war conditions takes some
time.
Great Estate Dwindles
Mr. Van Cortlandt's estate, which
has been estimated at from IS 900 900
to S12, 100000, will not exceed $500 900
according to James B. Ludlow, a life
long friend, an executor of the will
that has been filed, and the attorney
who discussed with Mr.. Van Cortlandt
the provisions of a new will only a week
before the latter's death All the bene-
ficclaries of trust funds esta ablshed BY
the will of 1899 having died, the bulk
of the estate would revert to Columbia
but in the memoranda which Mr.. Van
Cortlandt gave to Mr.. Ludlow on Feb
ruary IL there is no bequest for Colum-
bia.
The estate, Mr.. Ludlow said last
night. consists of personal property
valued at S500,000 and 355 acres near
Mount kisco, for which he paid $4,000
and on which he erected buildings, con-
sisting largely of stock barns, that
cost about $4,000. The real estate, ac-
cording to Mr.. Ludlow's recollection, is
assessed at Sl15,000.
In a statement issued last night by
Columbia University it was said that
that institution would receive between

Satire at Palace
Rooney and Bent Score in
Cover Here"

Ihere was discussion on the stage
OF the Palace yesterday as to who
should be sent to jail and who should
not. 1t occurred in timely satire"
called Over Here" in which Pat
Rooney and Marion Bent did things
which no one ever dared to do before.
The discussion was at white heat, VIII en-
man sitting in front of US saia:
Ahat's easy. Send EN- all. They de-
serve IT.. We don't know what he
meant, but we agree with him Bat
10 quote Bernard Shaw, what is the
opinion Of two against so many 80 or
words to that effect, and the act was
received with prolonged and uproar-
lous applause. Such is vaudeville
sometimes.
And then came Theodore Kosloff with
his Imperial Russian Ballet and MS
Russian orchestra and his fine artistry.
and life was worth living again.
hoslof's programme has not been
changed since he visited the Palace
earlier in the season.
1t opens with Tschaikowsky's "Ro-
nance OF Russian Winter" INTERPRETED i
pT,y Vera tredowa. Koslof and Nataha
Ramoova are seen in a wild and fasci-
and later he appears with Maria Mas
Iowa IN two dances. He is seen alone
IN only one number, a classical varia-
ton.

by Miss Fredowa and S. SalamonoF.
was excellently we'll done, and one of
the prettlest things on the programme
was The Nightingale" done by Miss
fredowa and Rodlon Mendelevitch, vlo-
linist.
The applause which Kosloff received d
proved that while the audience NAV
have preferred comedy, it still was
not averse to melody and the poetry
OF motion.
Ben Welch was on hand, doing his
original Hebrew character sketch,
which has not changed any, with the
possible exception OF bringing some of
the jokes up to date. Another act
billed as 'originaP contained a NOV
city surprise This was Collins and
Hart
Nellie and Sara Kouns are still at the
Palace, but it is their final week. Thew
sang La Serenata' - ''Il Bacio' and the
effective Swiss Echo Song"
The Niol-lnn, with Herman Timberg
and his five dancing violin girls. is
remaining for a second week. The

amusing.
