A storm, which swept south

the misery of the thousands Of

from their homes by the ava

Heavy rain fell, throwing up
vast clouds of steam as it came

NEW FORK Nov H..
With a heavy storm bearing
down upon them, the 200 pas
sengers of the Barbados
bound liner s. s. Vestris took
to the life boats shortly before
noon today when the com
nlander of the damaged vessel
abandoned his attempts to
reach the Virginia shore and
ordered the passengers off
while still more than a hundred
miles from the coast.
at the same time word was
flashed to the sinking ship that a
II. s.. destroyer had been dispatched
from Norfolk. Va. to nick up the
passengers.
The Radio Corporation stated that
the ships operator has declined to
go into details as to the nature of
the ships trouble, declaring that
the emergency was so great that the
entire ship had been ordered to take
to the life boats.
The message from the vessel read:
"S.S. Vestris. Lamport and Holt
Line, latitude 37.35 north, longitude
71.0S west, requires immediate as
sistance.
British Boat
A supplementary message received
by Captain A. j. Henderson, of the
Coastguard, from the Naval Radio
Z station. at Tuckerton. n. j., placed
the yestris' later position as 3S,0S
North, 74.14 West, proceeding as Is
knots.
AS the Vestris normal running
speed is only IA knots, the message
made it evident that Captain VIII
liam Carey is driving his ship under
forced draft, in the hope of making
shore safely.
Destroyer Near
According to Captain Henderson,
the C. G. destroyer Davis was in a
position near the Vestris at O'Clock
This morning. At the time the s. o. s.
= was flashed, the Davis should have
been within four hours run of the
distressed liner, according to Captain
Henderson.
The Vestris flies the British flag
and is owned by the Liverpool. Brazil
and River Platte Line. Lamport and
Holt are the managing owners.
She is twin screw type. built in
1912 at Belfast. Her tonnage is
10,4g4; length 495 feet; beam 60 feet;
depth 2S.7 feet.
May Have Fire in Hold
Marine authorities said here that
there are no rocks near the position
given by the ship. In view OF her
effort to reach shore, it was be-
lieved she may have a fire in her
hold. 1t was pointed out that If she
had coilided with another ship or
had otherwise damaged herself she
could not be proceeding towards
land at her maximum speed.
The Vestris carried a crew OF 210
officers and men.
Most of the, passengers who sailed
Saturday with the Nestris from
Hoboken, n. j.. are bound for Bar
BADGES. This port is usually reached
six days after leaving New York.
The regular lane takes the Yes
iris south by west from New York
harbor, bringing her abreast of
Hatteras in about 30 hours. At that
point. she is generally about 100
miles from shore.
1t was learned that the Lamport
and Holt liner, Yoltaire. due here
wednesday, should have been lust
south of this point this morning
but being northbound, the Noltaire
would be an additional 100 miles off
shore.

Furciato was vindictive against

COUNTY FUND
TO Be $4,000
SHORT IN 1923
Council Retains 14.5 Cents
Rate Without Cutting,
C. of C. Reports.

The county general fund faces a
deficit of $4,000 by the end of 1929
as the result of county council &C
ton retaining tax rate of 14.5
cents for that fund without cutting
appropriations, according to re-
port of the budget subcommittee Of
the Chamber of Commerce civic
affairs committee.
The report was made public today
by William H. Book, Chamber civic
affairs secretary.
The report also points out that
Sunnyside tuberculosis Sanitorium
also faces a deficit of $4,000 as the
result of retaining the tuberculosis
hospital rate at 2.5 cents and in
creasing appropriations.
While the increased appropria-
tons we're necessary for the hos
pital, it would have been possible
to reduce several general fund
items, the report states.
With a total tax rate for the
county of 32.5 cents, l cent higher
than tn e1928 rate, and an increase
of $14,OOO,0 900 in property valuation,
the county's revenue will be $150,000
more than in 1928, according to the
report.
AS the result of the committees

that in Lincoln, Republican
stronghold, where thousands lined
the streets and stood about the new
uncompleted capitol building when
he went there to see Governor
Adam McNGullen.
The climax, however, was at To-
peka, Kan, last night, the home
town Of Senator Charles Curtis, Re
publican vice presidential candidate.
1t was an organized welcome. A
delegation of about fifty Democrats
got on the Smith special train at
Manhattan and rcde-to Topeka. The
turnout there was between 10000
and $4,000 strong. There were red
torches and a band and even a
speakers stand. The Democratic
candidate refused to make a speech.
Observers said the demonstration
was larger than that for Curtis at
the home coming celebration after
his nomination. The Smith train
stopped only few minutes.
The Democratic candidate left
the farm belt, however, with chal-
lenge to state his farm relief posi-
ton definitely from Governor Nc
Mullen of Nebraska, Republican
farm leader, who praised Smith for
his Omaha statement about the Nc
Nary Haugen bill, said it was ian
unequivocal Endorsement" of the
measure, but suggested that he say
later just what he thought of the
equalization fee, the so-called
heart" of the bill, which Smith did
not mention. The Democratic can
didate said he would leave specific
methods for surplus control to a
commission which he promised to
appoint if elected.
Despite the quibbling over how
far Smith went in his Omaha
speech, that pronouncement created
wide spread interest throughout the
agricultural section and the reaction
led Democrats to predict it would
mean the swing of many farm votes
to Smith.
