Three Drowned as Ship
Turns Turtle at Sea

The story of the mysterious capsz-
ing and sinking Of the cargo carrier
Clan Gordon 1876 miles off Cape Hat
teras on July 80 at p. m. in smooth
sea was told yesterday by passengers
arriving on the Abangarez, Of the
United Fruit Company, from Kingston,
Jamaica.
According to Captain C. r. Glenn of
the Abangarez, the Clan Gordon was
first seen about two miles distant, with
n heavy list to starboard. Believing
she might need assistance, he changed
his course, and while three-quarters of
Il mile still separated them the Clan
Gordon was seen to roll completely
over to starboard, while all the crew
were thrown into the sea.
Captain Glen lowered five lifeboats
and rescued eleven white officers and
forty-one men of the Lascar crew, who
were landed here yesterday. The junior
wireless operator, John Nixon, of Buff
falo, and two of the Lascar crew were
drowned.
Captain J. C. Mclean of the lost yes
sci refused to discuss the sinking. The
crew were also silent. The Clan Cor
don was loaded with case oil and 1884
bags Of paraffine wax cakes and was
bound for Chnas She was a turret
type freighter, built in Glasgow in
1900 She was a 3.600-ton vessel, 355
feet in length and 45 feet beam. Her
owners are Cayter e. Irvine, Ltd, of
Glasgow.

unexpurgated Joy! BY those nights
Hammerstein pulled grand opera in
New York from the marshes of routine
and carried it into an atmosphere,
vibrant and alive. Those white
nights" brought Arturo ,Toscanini to
the Metropolitan and put to flight the
dulness of routine performances.
The Hammerstein Family
Under the terms Of the contract
which Oscar Hammerstein and Arthur,
his son, made with the Metropolitan
Opera Company on April 26, 1910,
both were enjoined not to produce
grand opera in any language in New
York, Chicago, Boston or Philadelphia
within q period of ten years. That
period would have expired next year,
and Mr.. Hammcrstein had been making
arrangements to enter the field once
more.
Arthur Hammcrsten's son is a
theatrical producer in this city. His
daughter, Stella Hammerstein, ap-
peared on The stage for a short time.
His granddaughter, Elaine Hammer
stein, acted on the stage and played In
motion pictures. She eloped with the
son Of Victor Herbert. Oscars grand
son, Oscar Hammerstein, I'd, is also an
actor. Oscar Hammerstein's eldest
son, William, who was placed in charge
of the Victoria Theatre by his father
when the latter built it, died in June
1914.
Oscar Hammerstein once said to a
friend: "Im curious man. l live only
for tomorrow. l don't drink. / have
never played a game of cards in my
life. When | find | have no money in
my pocket | go to the box Office and
draw three dollars, and it lasts me sc
long that it really makes me feel
ashamed of myself. But l have made
and lost a lot of money. ! couldn't
possibly tell you how many fortunes
have amassed and spent in the last
thrty-fvc years.

Press i'm South Says
Wilson Can Win if
He Asks Nomination
But Only 80 Per Cent of
Newspapers Think He Can
Beat Republican,; Taft

Special Correspondence
NASHVILLE, Tenn, Aug. with
a view Of determining the trend Of
Southern opinion regarding the wisdom
OF the nomination of Woodrow Wilson

questions to leading newspapers of the
South.
"In your opinion should President
Wilson be nominated in 1920?
could President Wilson be nom
mated if he became a candidate?
Gould President Wilson be re-
elected if nominated" ?"
Only 20 per cent of the newspapers
express the belief that the President
should be renominated, about per
cent basing their opinion on the general
antipathy to third term. Yet 50 per
cent believe that he could be renom-
mated if candidate, and 80 per cent
that he could be reelected.
View of Southern Press
The following is tabulation of the
replies represented in percentages:
Should President Wilson be nom
mated in 1920?
Yes, 20 per cent; no, 60 per cent;
doubtful, S per cent; no expression,

Double Shooting in Hobo
ken Thought Work of
Friends Seeking toAvenge
Death of Stevedore
Five Held as Witnesses
One Is Widow of Lewis,
Married Three Days Be-
fore Husband Lost Life

A gang murder, paid for by the vic
TINS business rivals, with ramifications
greater than those of the famous Baff
case, will be uncovered with the sov-
ing Of the killing of Thomas ("Tan-
ner") Smith, reformed gangster, and
it's sequel in Hoboken, where George
C"Chicky"D Lewis. and Robert Shaw,
alias Rubber" were shot Thursday
night, the police said yesterday
The police Of New York and Hobo
ken and Assistant District Attorney
in the Marginal Club last Saturday
night by gangsters hired by rival beef
stevedores, jealous of Smiths rising
power among workers at the New York
piers and railroad depots.
The police say that Shaw, who was
killed in the Hoboken shooting. was
party to the Smith murder, and that
Lewis, who was wounded but expected
to recover, was another.
Shortly after noon yesterday Judge
Mcintyre issued a warrant charging
Lewis with the murder of Smith. 1t
was served on Lewis in ST. Mary's
Hospital, Hoboken.
Assistant District Attorney Joyce
announced that he would ask the in
dictment of Lewis for murder in the
first degree.
i "Now that Rubber Shaw is dead I
might as we'll CO." Lewis told Mr.
Joyce.
Mr.. Joyce said that Lewis gave him
information which will help reveal The
identity of the men who inspired the
murder of Smith
Joyce summoned several men who, he
believes, have knowledge of the Smith
shooting.
Judge Mcintyre held four men under
$4,000 bail each, as material witnesses
to the Smith murder. They are Edward
Nolan, Frank Maher, Henry Benson
and Tom Curran.
Since the Smith murder, Mr.. Joyce
said, the police have been looking for
Shaw and others, and detectives were
In HobOken searching for the men at
the time of the shooting in New York.
Mr.. Joyce declared that he wanted
to question a friend of Smiths for
whom the police are looking, and who
was recently accused of the theft of
$4,000 worth of Liberty bonds, and
Smith went his bail
"This case becomes more sensation
al the further we deve into it," said
Mr.. Joyce. at shows that the old
gangs are still ready to take the law
into their own hands. There is no
doubt in our minds that the Hoboken
shootings were staged by persons who
ware mighty hard hit by Tanner
Smiths death and made up their
mind to avenge it,"

Grand Opera I1npresario
Reached Heights Only
After Overcoming Long
: Series of Misfortlmes
Built Eleven Theatres
Made and Lost Thousands,
Sacrificing Everything to
His One Aim i'm Life
,s

From little emigrant Jew making
cigars on the East Side for 70 cents
a day to grand opera impresario han
ding receipts of 100000 week-such
was the romance in the life of Oscar
Hammersten, who died last night
inventor. editor, real estate specu-
lator, composer, vaudeville mana
ger, shrewd business man, reck
less plunger, humorist, builder of
eleven threatres besides opera houses
in New York, Philadelphia and London,
ne was one of New York's picturesque
figures for half century.
Whimsical, temperamental, fearless,
lrascible, berating his audiences, con-
demning his critics, assailing his foes,
ca1oling his singers, Mr.. Hammerstein
was ever jn the limelight and often on
the first page. AS a Snowman he had
few peers. Whether he dscoursed on
divas or duchesses, his remarks bristled.
with epigrams. He was constantly in
the courts, suing and being sued. He
summoned fortunes out of nothing and
dissipated them as he indulged in his
uncomfortable passion for grand opera.
Time and again he was pennless only
to rise again.
Long before he ecame the stormy
petrol in the path of the arstocratic
Metropolitan-befo the voices of
famous singers were heard at the
Manhattan and salaries began to soar
under the pressure of competition
Hammerstein had made name for
himself
Prospered as an Inventor
he had invented machine for wrap
ping cigars which brought him 100000
and another for sterlming the leaves
which was equally profitable. He had
bought and edited a tobacco trade
journal. He had ventured in real es-
tate before there was building on
the West Side above 10th Street, con-
structing some forty or fifty houses.
Then he entered the theatrical bust
