1923 PASSENGERS FROM
LINER H0LSATIA LAND
AT HAVANA IN SAFETY

HAVANA, Cuba, Jan. S.--The S23
passengers who were aboard the
Hamburg-American liner Holsatia
when she struck yesterday on Carys
Fort Reef, south of Mimai. reached
Havana today aboard the Ward liner
Esperanza, and the French steamer
De LaSalle. None could state the
cause of the accident. but declared
that no panic resulted when the ship
struck, and that the transfer was
ordered to avoid any possibility or
an enforced stay of several days
aboard the Holsatia.
Most of $50 first class passengers
are bound for Vera Cruz and will
be forwarded on the first available
steamer IL the Holsatia is not prompt
ly refloated. A majority of those
travelling third class are Spanish
laborers en- route TO the Cuban cane
fields.
Among those destined for Vera
Cruz are three German families who
were rescued from the Hammona, a
sister ship of the Holsatia, when she
sank off Vigo, Spain, last November.

SAYS LIauon Ans REFLECTION

The Senate has declined to appro-
rriate $4,000 for the suppression Of
Peyote. the national drink of the In
dams. One of the reasons for the
lack of action was the representation
that this hootch contributes material
ly to the Christianization of the In
dams.
When the matter was before the
Senate. Senator Harrison Of Missis-
sippi asked for information. Sem
ator Smoot declared that Peyote was
brewed from a small berry of lux
urious growth along the banks of
The Rio Grande. He added that the
effect on the Indian was identical
with the effect OF mean" whisky on
the white man. He added, however.
that the jag was deeper and of
longer duration.
AT that juncture, Senator Jones. of
New Mexico informed the Senate that
Peyote was necessary to the religious
rites of the Indians. He quoted an
American missionary as having said
that under the influence of the liquor,
the Indian becomes possessed of de-
lusions of grandeur, and is easily a
victim of the preachers persuasion.
The same missionary was quoted by
Senator Jones as having said that If
he had sufficient supply of Peyote
he could convert every Indian IN
America.
So the Senate declined to appro-
pirate for the suppression of Peyote.
There was facetious intimation that
the Senate was about to discrim-
mate between the colors but the SEN
ate was obdurate. 1t was taking un-
der consideration the extension of the
Christian religion, 1t developed.

Mr.. Cramton admitted, could have no
effect, he didn't want the poll taken.
Wayne B. Wheeler, general coun-,

the plan of Senator Spencer of Mis-
souri, to raise a federal commission
to ascertain scientifically just what
is Intoxicating liquor. The plan OF
Senator Spencer is denounced by
Wheeler as a" brewers PLAN Wheeler
declares that the scientific ascertain
ment of intoxicating liquor would
have no effect on the prohibition
laws, but he doesn't want the problem
solved.
AS to whether or not the agitation
will have it's effect on the plans of
republicans to organize the new
House cannot as yet be determined.

that Gillette will be reelected speak

STARVES HERSELF I'M
ORDER TO GIVE MILK
TO ALL HUNGRY CATS

NEW YORK, Jan s.-The "Cat
Woman Of Avenue b. was In Bellevue
hospital tonight, dying from starva-
ton.
Cat Woman Is the name neighbors
gave to Mary Bosarti. q queer little
woman who never smiled, who moved
to the avenue two years ago. Beyond
the fact that she loved cats and fed
every feline prowler in their neigh
bcrhood once day. just after nigh'-
fall the neighbors never learned a
thing about her.
Mrs, John MCGOWAN, who lived in
the next apartment to Mrs. BosartI,
tried time and again to question her
and even invited her to supper once.
But Mary Bosarti would not talk
about herself, neither would she ac-
cept any supper invitations. So Mrs.
MCGOWAN shook her head and gave
it up.
All day long, even in the hot sum
mer time, the Cat Woman stayed in
doors. Then as night came, she
would go around the corner to the
dairy for her daily purchase of SIX
quarts of milk. Returning she would
pour the milk in some dozen saucers
on the pavement in front of her
apartment. There was always
scrambling bunch of cats awaiting
her.
But the Cat Woman seemed to have
a strange influence over them. She
would talk in low tone and they
would quietly await their turn at the
saucers. 1t used to be an interesting
sight for the children of the neigh
borhood, watching Mary Bosarti and
her cats.
The weather being bad for the last
week the Cat Woman's neighbors did
not pay much attention to her. They
had become used to her habits. But
last night the neighborhood was dis
turbed for several hours by the wall
ing of hungry cats. A policeman
finally shooed them away.
This morning Mrs. MCGOWAN
knocked at the Cat Woman's door,
heard faint moan and called other
residents of the house.
