Crash Occurs In Fog-Crcw Makes Human Chain to Aid Women and Children 10 Lifcboats-Some Male Passengers Criticized for Pancky Actions.

New York, June i CP,-Rammad by a steel barge loaded with zoo tons of oil, the $1.o00,QO0 excursion steamer Washington Irving sank in a dense fog in New York harbor to- day after the 200 passengers and the crew of 150 had been trans ferrcd to other boats,
 The barge, one Of a pair being lowed by a tug, swung out of the fog to crash q hole in the passen- ger liner and then disappeared be- hind the murky screen which GOV cred tho harbor and river. The identity of the colIiding vessel vas not learned for several hours, until the president of the Moran Towing Co. reported to police that a barge lowed by one of his tugs had done the damage. He blamed the fog for the accident.
 Music Prevents Panic
 The Washington Irving, a steel sidewheeler, said to be the largest river passenger boat in the world, had just left its Dcbrosses street pier on it's daily run to Albany when the crash occurred and water began rushing in through a great hole in the port side. Captain Dcming headed for the Jersey shore and panic was averted as music from the ships orchestra drowned out the screams of women and the shouts of men.
 The boat sank within 100 feet of the Jersey shoro after the last oc- cupant had left. There were no sc- rious injuries, although many com plained 1f minor hers and many relatives iwcrc separa,e ed in he con- fusion.
 When the river liner left her pier for her daily run to Albany there was a dense fog. AS she was push ing into the haze a tanker or large tug (early reports differed on this poin) crashed full into her and the Washington Irving immediately showed signs of foundorinF.
 Nearby craft of all descriptions swarmcd to her assistance and pas sengers were transferred and taken ashore. An effort was made to run the damaged craft 10 the Jersey shore, but about 100 feet from land inc hold was so filled with water that the boat settled 10 the bottom with only the upper part in sight,
 Bad Panic Is Avcrtcd
 Mrs. Addio Sargent of Garland. Utah. one of the passengers. gave q graphic description of the accident. She said that as the boat left it's pier thore was q collision which ripped large hole below the wateriine of the boat causing much con stcrnation among the passengers.
