 The vessel left sheepshead bay in the morning for an all day cruise.
 Most of her passengers were on deck, fishing or enjoying the bright sun of blue October day, when wisps, of smoke began trailing up from the stairs leading to the boiler room. There were cries of 'fire!" and scenes of panic followed.
 Nnumerous other craft on the lower bay at the time, seeing smoke curling up from the Mistletoe, turned at once toward the scene, while coast guard under Captain Loren Triton put out from the Sandy Hook station.
 Several of the rescue vessels reached the Mistletoe almost simultaneously and the work of transferring the passengers to them was begun. As passenger after passenger was handed down safely, the panic subsided.
 Meanwhile, the AIistletoe's crew was making n desperate attempt to ex- tinguisR the flames. But the fire had made too much headway and, fed by the oily substances below, was blazlng briskly and the crew was forced to fol- Ice, .kA messengers over the side.
 Dozens of motor launches, sloops and pleasure yachts had fIocked to the scene and lowered about the doomed vessel. Thousands of spectators stod watching at Rockaway Beach, several miles away, and at other points. The Mis- tletoe soon burned to the water's edge and sank.

Federal Commission Gives Final Report On House
 hold Industries
(By Associated Prsss)

WASHINGTON, Oct. 5.-Fresh charges of price fixing and questionable practices by manufacturers of house hold furnishings, are made in a. con cluding report on the industry by the Federal .Trade Commission acting in response to Senate resolution.
 iThe outstanding features of the re port" says an announcement by the commission, s'are the control exercised by patent pools among manufacturers of washing machines, the shutting out of new competition in the vacuum cleaner industry; the questionable com petitive tacti-s of the leading manufac- turers of aluminium cooking utensils, which is affiliated with the Aluminium company of America the monopolistic position of the latter company which has apparently engaged in various prae- tices forbidden by a judicial decree ufi- der the Sherman act; the dominating position of the Singer company in the sewing machine industry the efforts of trade associations in the refrigerator and broom industries to. enhance the prices of their products, and the com petitive methods of retail dealers m kitchen utensils and domestic appli- ances."
 Detailed Account
 ..ccording to the commissions an nouncement it's report deals in detail with all the subjects mentioned. but deals more at length with the Alum mum company of America which has been under various other attacks. The Aluminium Goods Manufacturing com spany. affiliated with the Aluminium company of America, the report charges, has been practicing. price discrimi- nation between cust0mNfs and has been active in maintaining resale prices, while receiving special discounts itself from the Aluminium company of America, which owns thirty per cent of its stock and exercises a substantial control over it's policy"
 At the same time, the commissions s report says, independent manufaetur- CTS of aluminium utensils have been em- barrassed by delays in deliveries of materials from the Aluminium company, or by no delivery at all of some mater ials, while in other cases the Alum mum company has dumped embarrass- ingly large quantities of metal on in- dependent manufacturers to whom ship ments have been delayed.
 The remainder of the report deals with the other industries producing house furnishings and kitchen utensils and charges either that an industry has controlling position in its line or that various meanE are being em- ployed to increase prices or prevent price reductions.

tBy Associate- Press)

WASHINGTON, Oct, 5.-- Battling with the indomitable courage that carried them to their first American league pennant, Washington's Sena- tors today turned the tables on the New York Giants, won the second game of the 1924 worlds series and put them selves back in the thick of one of the most stirring struggles ever staged for basebalPs greatest honorss
 Tn a flashing finish that was equally as spectacular as the climax to yesterdays opening tussle and twice as thrilling ffo another capacity home crowd of 35,000, Roger Peck inpaurh, veteran Washington shortstop, lifted himself to heroic heights by driving across the winning run in the ninth after the Giants had knocked Zachary, southpaw star, from the box and tied the score with two tallies in their part of the final inning.
 The final score was { to 3, the same I-mmfsfn hy willeh the first game was e,z' eidsd ana tonight two Of the 'Figns. irt'est'' clubs that ever met Tor the rhamDionship shifted their battle-ground to New York where the third game will be played tomorrow.
 Marberry To The Rescue
 Washington, under the inspired ieap- ership of it's brilliant young pilot, "Bucky" Harris, seemed headed ire sistibly toward victory today until thas ninth inning and it's pulse,grlpping drama. Behind Zachary, who had out. nitched hia sorthpaw rival, Jack Bent. lev. after q shaky start, the Senators, oys the strength of a homel run by Goeliu in the first inning, with one on. md another cifcuit blow by Harrig in the fifth, entered the final with . 3-to-1 lead. But here, with triumph in his grasp, Zachery, whose slow curves had baffled the Giants and held them to one run and only four hits in eight innings, weakened and the National league champions quick to take adyan- tage of their opportunity, launched . desperate attack that, as suddenly as 1t fiared up, was checked by Fred Mar! berry, relief twirler, who rose her0ical. ly to the occasion by striking out Jack son on three pitched balls with Wilson resting on second with q run that would have put the McGraw men into the lead.
 Thus Marberry, who gained credit for the victory, although he pitched to only one batsman, and Peckinpaugh, whose smashing single drove over Judge with the winning tally in the ninth when another extra inning bnttle seemed imminent shared in the glory of Wshington's world series triumph with Harris and GOslin, whose mighty bats put the Senators into n commanding lead.
