II Perish as Explosion
Destroys German Ship

From Burning Vessel

LONDON, Jan. 16 (By The Associ-
ated Press Eleven members OF the
crew of the German steamer Nesta

were killed as the result Of an ex-
plosion on the ship Sunday night fol
lowing fire. Ten survivors Of the
crew were landed at Lowestoft by a
trawier to-day.
Details Of the disaster as related by
the captain OF the Vcsta are that dur
ing heavy weather the deck cargo Of
the vessel, consisting largely OF naph-
tha. shifted. An explosion occurred,
aud few minutes later the whole ves-
sci was IN flames, with tho exception
of the space near the bridge, where
the crew huddled for safety.
A boat was lowered, but it was en-
quilted IN The heavy seas an3 its three
occupants were drowned. The mate.
clasplng his neWly married wife in his
arms. jumped overheard. Both per-
ished. Others Of the ships company
also plunged into the sea from the now
tiercely burning vessel. only to sink
beneath the waves. Finally only the
captain and nine meu were left on
a"d. They were rescued after great
difficulty by trawler after six hours
work and when they had almost aban-
doned hope. Those rescued had been
scorched by the flames and partially
asphyXiated by the naphtha fumes.

plus the sales Of British bonds. Sen
ator McCumber. in fact, has estimated
that 81 100000, 900 would meet the cash
payments under the bonus, but there
is wide variance Of opinion on this
point and many believe more Will be
needed.
In ordering the debt funding bill re-
ported the committee struck out the
provisions calling for semi-annual In
terest payments and making the min
imum interest rate 8 per cent. Sec
retary Mellon objected to both Of these
n the ground they would hand cap the
Treasury in negotiating with foreign
governments. Democratic Senators op-
posed the elimination of these provi-
sions.
Senators Simmons, Of North Caro-
lima, and Jones, Of New Mexico, cspe-
cially opposed striking them out, and
because of their elimination will fight
the bill. It. is the view Of Senator
Simmons that, while interest payments
probably will have to be deferred in
some instances, Congress should not
for that reason fail to stand for semi
annual interest payments. The pro-
vision fixing the life of the bonds to
be accepted from foreign governments
at twenty-five years remains in Tie
bill. Otherwise it is substantially the
House measure and entrusts the fund
ing of the debt to commission head
ed by the Secretary Of the Treasury
Senator McCum5er, chairman Of the
Finance Committee, announced his in
tention Of pushing the funding bill
without waiting for the arms confer

cables in the Pacific, but that ,bev

HARMONY, w. Va, July 22.-Al though blind for more than thirty eight years, Thomas Doolittle has made in that time more than two hun. dred musical instruments ranging from violins to a creation of his own which he has named the "violin-man- dolin."
 Doolittle lost his sight when but nineteen years of age through scro- fulous affection. Despondent as a consequence of the loss of his sight, he tried to forget his misfortune through absorption in his violin, an instrument which he already played well.
 In course of time Thomas became an expert violinist, and in order to two-night concerts in country school houses and churches.
 This idea proved very popular in the rural communities, where good music was not heard often. Doolittle continued these concerts for many years. In this time he played in near Iy every county in the State of West Virginia, following a regular circuit. In giving these concerts he acquired thes concerts he acquired reputation a reputation as musician that has withstood the years.
 DOOLiTTLE WAS CARPENTER
 Prior to the loss of his sight Doo- little had been a carpenter, and he still kept trying to make things" with soft wood and penknife. He found this interesting, and it was not long until he attempted work that required other tools.
 As Doolitt1e became more and more interested in this work he again saw possibilities ahead and decided to try really difficult work. One of the first sincere efforts he made to accomplish something worth while was put into the making of a hope-chest. The re- suit was highly satisfactory, and there came soon afterward a dresser, piano bench, chiffonier and library table. All these were well done, but his in- terest was not in that class of work, and he accordingly turned to the man. ufacture of musical instruments.
 His first attempt in this line was a violin; not such good one, but it would play. The second was better,

and as each succeeding one. In all Doolittle has made one hundred and one violins, fifty-eight guitars, thirty eight mandolins, one ukelele, seven bass viols, five dulcimers and three violin-mandolins
 The ninety-seventh and last violins are still in his possession, the former being considered one of the best he has ever made. This violin is one of exceptional tone, and it has been said by experts that the volume is far be- yond the range of all ordinary violins. All his later instruments are noted for the sweet, mellow tones which their maker brought out.
 QUITS INSTRUMENT MAKING
 Doolittle has not made any instru ments for several months and de- clares that he may never make an other one. He is more content now to remain at home with his two sis ters, with whom he lives, and potter around in his little shop on odd jobs brought him by friends and neigh bors. A great deal of his time is also taken up by repair work. Musical in struments from all over the state are sent to him for repair and he makes them as good as new.
 Loss of sight has only served to in- crease the kindliness of this man and, if possible, make him more apprecia- tive of the more beautiful things in life. He has kindly, humorous spirit that endears him at once to new friends and old.
 Never married, Doolittle gives his affection to his beloved instruments and to the two sweet little old ladies, his sisters, who care for his wants.
 There is no hardness in Fhomas's life-only pleasantness and cheer. Possibly this is because be- in his many years before the public, sent his music deep into so many hearts and left it there, a softening, mellowing influence, and the echo is now repeat ing itself in his own life, softer, sweet CT, grander than before.
