LAUNCH oyERTuRNS. MANY LIVES LOST.

Nineteen persons are known to
be drowned, while rescue parties,
aided by powerful searchlights,
were Sunday night dragging the
Warrior river near Tuscaloosa, Ala,
for the bodies of twelve others who
were missing from a pleasure party
Of iifty-three who wre cast into the
water at 5:45 Sunday afternoon
when a gasoline launch turned over
in midstream near the manufacture
ing suburb of Holt.
The boat, the "Mary Francis"
was owned by Sam Aston, a Tus-
caloosa capitalist, who had been
giving weekly boat rides to the
children of the city. Aston was
saved after he had exhausted him
self in the water endeavoring to
save his guests. Physicians declared
Monday that he was in a serious
mental condition as a result of the
tragedy.
Most of the victims were women
and children, as are practically all
the missing. An over-crowding of
the launch is given as the cause of
the accident though the boat was
supposed to have passenger car
rying capacity of sixty,
