80 to $50 Now Reported Lost
I'm Wreck of the Hammonia

SOUTHAMPTON, Sept. 12 by The
Associated Press. There was a con-
siderable loss of life when the German
steamship Hammonia foundered off
vigo Saturday. Confirmation of this
was obtained at / :15 o'clock this morn
ing when the British steamship Kim
fauns Castle docked here with 2s5 of
the rescued passengers on board.
Captain Day, commander of the Kin
fauns Castle, said the loss Of life pos
sibIy would reach eighty. Others on
board estimated the dead at $50.
Captain Alfred Hoefer, commander of
the Hammonia, said the first two boats
launched over the side of the ship
capsized and that possibly fifty of the
occupants were drowned. Almost ali
Of them were Spaniards of the work
ing class, who were on their way to
Cuba
Captain Hoefer ascribes the loss of
the Harmonic, which was bound for
Cuba and Mexico, chiefly to shipping
water during the violent gale into
which the vessel ran when about
seventy five or eighty miles off Vige.
The water gained steadily for twenty

Z. S. Wins 10 Day Continuation
Of Order Against Shopmen

CHICAGO, Sept, Ii (By The Asso-
ciated Pressl.The temporary re-
straining order granted the government
September 1 against the striking RAJ
road shcpcrafts ard their leaders to-
day was continued in effect for not to
exceed Ten days. The original order
would nave expired at midnight to-
night.
Federal Judge James H. Wilke-son
ordered the continuance of the govarn-
ment's motion at the close Of the first
days hearing on the petition of Attor-
ney General H, M. Daugherty for Il
temporary injunction to replace it..
The continuance, the court stipulated
will terminate on the decision in the
injunction hearing
AS result of the continuance the
injunction hearing will be halted to-
morrow morning, while attorney for B.
NJ. Jewell, president, and John Scott,
secretary-treasurer, of the federated
shopcrafts, argue for modification of
its penalties. Donald r. Richberg, rep
resenting the strike leaders, served
notice on counsel for the government
that he would move some notifications
when court convenes tomorrow.
Jewell and Scott were the only two
of the more than 240 strike leaders and
100000 strikers affected by the restrain
ing order represented in court by coun-
sci.

that powerful pumps were working,
discharging thousands of tons of water
hourly.
Finally the ship began to list, and
she took her plunge to the bottom at
8:25 o'clock Saturday evening Just
before the steamship sank the captain
and nineteen men of the crew who had
remained aboard put out from her in
a boat. The boat had not gone more
than 100 feet from the vessel when
the Hammonia sank by the stern, send
ing up a wave 100 feet into the air.
Captain Day said that when the Kim
fauns Castle reached within few
hundred yards of the Hammonia she
launched ten boats. The sea was covered
with RATS and overturned lifeboats
and also the bodies of drowned women
and children. The saving Of the pas
sengers and crew still alive occupied
three hours.
1t was a terrible experience. Captain
Day added He said he was unable to
sleep afterwards, owing to the scenes
Of horror he had witnessed. None OF
the members of the crew of the Kin
fauns Castle were lost during the res
cue work.

ssid, and ordered Blackburn Esterline

governments case.
In the argument over the continu-
ance of the restraining order, how
ever, the Court pointed out the differ
ence between the charges of "unlaw-

alton to do unlawful acts" ard indicat-
ed that if the defense can show only

yesterday by three of the principal
anthracite carrying railroads to free

tically all freight except foodstuffs
originating beyond their own lines
would be held at connection points to
provide all possible equipment for an

Fearing that freight thus held up
would be diverted to it's lines in such
quantities as to cause hopeless conges-
tion, the New York Central announced
a similar embargo last night. New
York Central officials explained that
the road was now carrying record guam

The situation of the railroads, faced
as they are by record rush of coal
shipments and a strike of repairmen
in the shops, wasAfurther complicated
by q threatened Strike of the clerks
and freight handlers on the Pennsyl-
vania Railroad. Refusal of Pennsyl-
vania officials to give an audience yes
terday to representatives of the union
brought the charge from union leaders
that the company was attempting to
throttle their organisation and that
strike ballots would go out in forty
eight hours to the $4,000 members on
the system. This is the second time
within two months that the Pennsyl-
vania clerks have threatened to strike.
Facing Difficult Situation
Since the strike of the railroad shop
crafts unions on July i, and the re-
sultant difficulty of keeping their roll
ing stock 100 per cent Efficient, the
railroads necessarily have been facing
difficult situation. The resumption
of mining in the soft coal districts

Three anthracite carrying railroads
declared an embargo on all

These roads were the Erie, Eacka-

embargo to prevent overlooking of

Smoke from fire which started in

were as dense on the top story as they
were on the lower floors.
