BY international News service,

SAULT STE. MARIE, Mich,
May 21.-Grim accounts of the
battle with a Lake Supsgi1r gale
that claimed the lives of their cap
tain and four others of their ship
mates were told today by sixteen
survivors of the steana~& .orinoco,
which foundered Sunday of Mon
treal island. Radio dispatches
from the tug Gargantua, which Gn-
swered the signal fires built by the
survivors, one of whom was a
woman, told the story of the
wreck.
The Orinoco foundered off
Pointe Aux Mines Sunday after
it had been necessary to cut adrift
the barge Chieftain, which the
Orinoco had in tow.
Victims Of Gale.
The victims Of the sixty.mile gale

Captain Anthony L. Lawrence, Ct
Cleveland, formerly sailing with
the Tomlinson Company, Of Cleve'
land.
Chief Engineer Joseph Wurtz, Of
Bay City.
The wheelsman, believed to be OF
Clevenald.
Two other seamen, unidentified in
early radio messages.
Fight Storm for Lives.
The survivors, which the Gar
gantu was bringing to this port
told of the hopeless fight against
the storm, the desperate decision TO
cut the barge adrift, the fight in
the wreckage, and Of reaching the
island, where a forty.hour vigil was
spent before the tug brought relief.
Members of the Gargantua crew,
commanded by Captain d. Williams
of the Spanish River Paper Com
pany, of Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario,
provided the survivors with food
and warm clothes.
Two bodies were picked Slp by the
tug after cruising around the scene
Of the wreck for several hours.
Later the tug found the drifting
barge Chieftain, and took it in tow.
Woman Is Brave.
Mrs. Poole, the woman member
of the Orinoco's crew. bore the
hardships bravely. She faced the
heavy seas on raft improvised by
some of the men when the steamer
sank and was subjected to severe
exposure on the island.

GRAY UNIFORMS
ORDERED FOR
ARMY BAND
General Pershing Responsible
For Changes in Carb of
the Bandsmen.

New uniforms of gray for the
United States Army Band, stationed
at the Washington Barracks, have
been ordered and are due to arrive
on June 5, or shortly before that
time, it was learned today.
This change means a radical dc.
parture in military circles, in that
the band will be the first unit of
the United States army ever to be
clad in any but regulation uni
forms.
General John j. Pershing himself
was responsible for the suggestion
which led to the purchase of the
new suits for the bandsmen. The
Army Band is a sort of protege of
the general, and he was anxious
that the organization look it's best.
He determined that the new garb
would be more distinctive and more
attractive than the present uni
forms.
Several types of uniforms were
considered before one finally was
selected. This is of the same gray
hue that the West Point cadets
wear, embellished with flaring coat.
skirts, Sam Brown belts and SINH.
lar accoutrements. The uniform he'll
met Is practically the same as that
worn in the regular army, except
that 1t bears the band insignia and
matches the rest of the uniform in
color.
The fact that the band was to
have new uniforms was guarded
as secret by General Pershing,
who wished to spring" the surprise
when the band had its first picture
taken IN its new apparel. But the
secret leaked out, and everybody at
Washington Barracks is impatient
for view of the re.rairncnted
band. Detailed information as to
the innovation was unobtainable
from the band officers at the bar.

Creation of a new agency, or the
reorganization of the Supervising
Architects Office INTO an agency
similar to the Public Buildings
Commission, expanded to include
within its survey all building re-
quirements of the Federal Govern
ment throughout the country, will
be recommended by the American
Institute Of Architecture, convened
In its fifty-seventh annual conven.
ton here, it was indicated today at
the opening session held in the Cor
coran Gallery of Art.
This new agency, according to
the plan advanced in the report Of
the committee on public works,
made by Thomas r. Ktmball and
Milton b. Medary, jr., chairman,
would also furnish estimates of the
amounts OF appropriations neces.
Cary to meet these requirements.
1t was declared by the committee
That the building program Of the
United States is now many years
behind in the volume of construc.
ton already authorized by Congress,
and the need for greatly increased
accommodations has become imper-
alive.
Particular stress is laid by the
committee on the need of new
buildings in the National Capital,
and emphasis is laid on the fact
that development in the District is
more important than in any other
city in the country.

ish red color as they joined the
central cloud.
Scene Was Beautiful.
From the volcano house. two
miles away, the scene was beauti-
full and terrible. This great, crawl
ing mass of smoke and dust
emptying itself from the black. lava
erusted earth, rose hundreds of feet
into the air, growing whittier and
purer as it was lifted, until finally
Il merged into the natural clouds
against a background 'of blue sky.
At irregular intervals the crash
of avalanches from the crumbling
walls of the pit could be heard and
at each crash new fold Of the
gigantic dust cloud unwrapped itself
from the pit.
Following the avalanches came
one or two days of comparative
quiet and then the volcano sudden
ly began to hurl great boulders out
onto the main crater floor. Some Of
these weighed as much as 300
pounds.
The barrage was caused by the
slides of rock having cut off the
free escape of gas from the earth's
interior, thus developing a pressure
which finally forced the boulders
out at a terrific velocity. This
proved only a prelude to the erup-
tons that have been in progress
the past week, during which Vio-
lent explosion after explosion hurled
huge boulders 1000 feet in the air
and rained small rock over the
country side for a distance of two
miles. A dust cloud three miles
high hung over the volcano. Vol
canic ash has fallen over Hilo,
thirty miles away.
So serious is the disturbance that
following the loss of one life, rang
ers are guarding the approaches to
the volcano and only official observ-
ers and press men are permitted to
risk their lives close to the nit.
