between huge cakes Of ice, with hum
dreds OF tons of other ice behind Il.
The frightened passengers scram-
bled all to one side in a mad effort
to right the craft and like a crazy
pendulum the Linseed King swung
back to normal and then listed to the
other side, over and over and over
until water rushed over her gunwales
and she capsized completely.
About half of those in the cabin
we've thrown into the freezing water
or managed to run from the compart-
ment in time to jump. The other
half were trapped where they were
and death was at least merciful in
that it must have been quick,
AS the submerged launch f1oated
slugglshly among the grinding ice
foes, some of the freezing men chung
to it desperately while others climbed
onto tipping cakes of ice and lay fiat
with the cold water tapping over
them.
The singing was turned to screams
for help now, but heard from shore
the screaming sounded not so differ
emit from the shouts of song and no
one paid attention. One lighter cap
tain who had watched the men off
and might have been able to aid
them, heard their cries but only
shrugged as he moved closer to his
cabin stove.
II just thought they were still sing
ing" he said later, "and didn't even
get out Of my cabin"
And so it was almost half an hour
before the first rescue boat reached
the scene. But then they came thick
and fast. tugs and launches and fire
and police boats.
Twenty four poor, half frozen men
were dragged onto tugs and thawed
out in enginerooms while being rush
ed to an emergency hospital estab-
lished at a New York pier. From
there they were taken to hospitals.
Captain Rohweider was picked up

ever, saying that he was suffering
acutely from submersion and further
questioning would have to wait.

dent. The others were taken with
graphing hooks from the cabin Of
the Linseed King where It was
beached at 254th Street, on the Bronx
shore, after being carried upstream
by the ice.
Crowds gathered on the shore,
some of them wives and mothers and
other loved ones Of the men who had
sought their last job. One by one the
bodies were brought up and laid on
the icy shore until there were ~ in
a long, sad row, bringing the total Of
known dead to 80.
Captain Rohweider told police that
there had been 62 men in the Lin
seed King when it left the Manhat-
tan pier and so search was continued
for the seven bodies still unaccounted
for. OF the known dead 81 were
those of white men and nine negroes.
A half dozen investigations were
begun during the day to determine If
possible where the blame lay and
whether the tragedy might have been
avoided

Tourist Guide May Bring
Group. To City, He Says

An educational tour this summer
for about 20 persons which is to be
conducted by Professor o. f. Wine
brenner of the Howard Payne college
at Brownwood, Texas, would like to
include Douglas in its itinerary, tEe
local chamber of commerce is in
formed.
In order to set forth the attrac-
tions of the Douglas section tc the
party, booklets and scenic literature
will be mailed to the professor whose
object is to have his students and
others in the touring group make u
general investigation of geological
formations in the southwest. Mines,
fossil beds, quarries, glaciers, erosion
fields, etc, will consume a large part
of the tourist party's time ana for
that reason, it is believed that the
Douglas section with it's mines, quar-
ries and Wonderland of Rocks would
be of interest to the travellers.
During 1924 he conducted a tour
in a speed-wagon which covered near
1y 10000 miles and which lasted al
most II weeks. Many national parks
and the Grand Canyon We're visited
by the tourists and this year 5hey
intimate that they would like to see
Rhyolite park.
Full information will be sent to

FOR BIG
STATE MUSICAL
MEET STARTED

Preparations for the fourth annual
southern Arizona Interscholastic mu-
sic contest which will be held in this
city April and 10, are now being
made by the school officials and
members of the Arizona Federated
Music clubs.
The contest this year promises to
be bigger and better than any that
has heretofore been held and with
all the schools of the southern dis
trict entered the competition will be
keen. Any school is eligible to enter
pupils in any or all of the IA events
scheduled.
In 1928 the first contest was held
in Tucson; the following year it was
held in Bisbee and last year in No
gales. The Tucson high school has
won all three contests, but last year
the score was so close that the win
ner was not declared until the last
event had been counted.
The score last year was: Tucson III,
Bisbee 81, Douglas SO, Nogales g..
Each year the smaller schools have
given Tucson keener competition so
this year everything points to the
SOulllClu II SCuOOlS 10 VIII bllS PilNNi
trophy cup.
The contest will be held in the
Grand Theater on Friday and Satur-
day April and 10. The events
scheduled are both vocal and instru-
mental with violin, piano, cornet,
trombone, band and orchestra in the
instrumental division and soprano,
mezzo, baritone and tenor in solo
voice and girls, boys and mixed
quartet and chorus numbers The
choruses are limited to 16 boys and
16 girls with 80 for the mixed chorus.
This contest promises to be the
best musical entertainment in Doug
las this spring. Already the school
students are preparing their number
and will be in readiness when the
contest is staged.

DOUGLAS ELKS TO
SPONSOR DUTTON
SOCIETY CIRCUS

The Douglas Elks for the benefit
of the El1s Charity fund viii be
treated to an entertainment of an
unusual attractive nature for four
days starting March II. The press
agent says it is a feature big time
show that plays the big towns
clean, wholesome and educational at
traction called buttons Society Civ
Gus. This production comes to us
after having played in New orleans
as a Mardi Gras attraction; at Mar
shall and Ft Worth, Texas, as an
Elks benefit circus, and is highly
recommended. There are no wheels,
no games, no gambling devices.
Educational features and fun maxi
ing are their show, and they issue
this warming: IF it hurts YOU to
laugh, better stay away" The circus
will be here four days, March IL, Is,
19 and 20.
! The James Dutton Society "all-Star'
Circus is unique in that it is a COM
plete town under canvas, for the cir
Gus has it's officials, its minister, it's
school superintendent, its working
people just as has municipality. A
well stocked library is carried and all
are required to attend school. a
| world famous detective is along in
! case of need in his line of work, for
! the protection of both circus folk
and the attending public. An ultra
modern idea in tent shows is the
| Dutton system of keeping the tents
at an even and comfortable tempera-
ture, despite the weather, and the big
canvas is absolutely waterproof should
it rain. An effort is made both IN
I ligting effects and color scheme to
/ decorate appropriately to the occa-
] sion.
A Texas daily says concerning the
/ show: THE big feature of the cir
/ Gus is the Dutton Spectacular Eques-
trian Review, nothing like it, can be
nothing excelling tit stands 0u-
preme and premier-on the face Of
| the earth. The costumes worn are
! the best ever worn by performing
i kings and queens. The elite go wild
over this number. The riding is at
/ times thrilling. 1t has been said that
/ if the Dutton circus had nothing else
but the Dutton Equestrian Review
there would be more than enough
! for the price of admission charged.
But, Dutton has surrounded his su-
preme meature with other acts
Aerial Youngs; Idaho Delno, Physical
! Culture girl; Miss Virginia in death
defying cloud swing; Myrtle Compton,
dainty equestrienne; Pewee and How
ard, horizontal bars and the modern
''trampoline"; Vivian De We're, the
girl who keeps you guessing; and
the interesting Nellie Jordan & Co.,

who is the double for Charlie Chap
