EUROPEAN TRADE
CONTINUES BRISK
High Levels of LaUer Part of
1924 Maintained
This Year.
n' the V'S'iO«*iatP<i
European trade during the first .
• ■ alter <>f 1925 maintained the high I
o vels reached in the last half of 1924 j
•id present indications are for a ]
continuation of the Improvement, the i
f cderal Reserve Board declared to- 1
day in its monthly business review. |
Tlie tonnage of ships entered and |
cleared during the first three months :
of this year represented, the hoard
said, a substantial increase not only
over the first half of last year but
■ 'so over the corresponding period in |
it'-3. In the first two months of 1925, i
entrances and clearances of ships in j
I‘ranee and Germany were well above I
tiie total for the same months in 1913. j
German Trade Better.
"The remarkable improvement in j
German trade.” the board declared, ' is ,
lhe result of. tlie betterment in the]
country's international relations, the I
stabilization of the currency and the!
large foreign loans and credits made j
available to the German government i
and industry. In a number of othc ,
European countries also currency ;
stabilization has increased the confi j
deuce of foreign investors and has !
facilitated the flotation of loans, the j
proceeds of which have been used to :
t :eet tbe demand for foodstuffs and
■aw materials.
"The rise in tlie price of several raw
materials, and especially of cereals,]
has had the effect of increasing the]
purchasing [tower of areas which in '
previous real's had been suffering i
roin depression. Il is to this in j
• cased purchasing power of Indus
: ,al Europe and of agricultural com
rpmities in many parts of the world
that 'he me iked increase in interna
• mal trade is chiefly attributable.”

22 SWEPT TO DEATH
IN OVERTURNING OF j
J MISSISSIPPI BOAT
t< 'ontinued from First f'age.i
1 was about to dive after her when j
the realization came to me it would
mean the death of my boy.
”1 knew what action my dear old i
mother would have wanted me to]
take.
‘ A few minutes latei we were j
picked up by a motor boat.”
Fate juggled with the life of It. < i. j
Schaefer, publisher of the Southern :
Contractor. It took him from tliei
steamer Choctaw. sister ship of the
Norman, which had carried a portion :
of the excursion party, to ride hack
on the Norman. It dragged him into
swirling water and finally took him 1
exhausted, ashore.
Boat Turns Over Quickly.
Soon after the captain had ordered'
the passengers scat tered. Mr. Schaefer!
said. -Maj. 1). H. Gillette. United .States]
engineer, reported trouble with the
steering wheel, and said that the en •
gineer wanted to put ashore to fix it. >
"'While rapt. Fenton was casting
about for a safe landing place.” said ■
Mr. Schaefer, "the boat careened, .lust
then somebody yelled. She's going I
over:” and the boat slowly began to,
turn. People on the upper deck start-!
ed climbing over the turning side, and '
about a minute latei the Norman ;
was resting bottomside up.
There was not a hit of panic. 1 [

j couldn't help noticing how every one
Wits trying to help the other fellow.
A few children were crying, but that
was about alt the noise. About 20
j persons managed to get on to the
boat’s keel. Then the boat began sink
ling by tlie stern, .lust before the boat
! went under I stripped off my outer
j clothing. When I was kicking about
•in the current I suddenly discovered
1 that 1 was still holding my new
j straw hit tight in my hand. 1 threw
j away and started fighting in ear
! nest, i was all in and had just about
j .i\ cn up when 1 noticed a tree hung
; tig over the water a short way down
•treatn. I managed to kick my way
] o it. but was too exhausted to get out
i,f the water. I felt a hand grab me
j >y lhe hair and I was resting my chin
I across it log entangled in the tree,
i Four or five people were hanging on
jto the log. I lied m.v necktie to a
[stub on the log. while a young fellow
'carried the others ashore. He then
] ame back for me."
(alinness Impressive,
i The calmness among survivors that
l marked the sinking of tlie steamer
j continued as they were being brought
! back to Memphis when the rescue
j steamer pushed its wav along the
| path over which they had gone gaily
I i scant It* hours before, a sudden
J hush came over tbe crowd. A. M.
■ Lund of Little Rock. Ark., called the
i group together for pray ers of thanks-
I giving for the lives of those saved.
! The hero of the disaster. Tom Lee.
j was methodical in his rescue work.
rime after time he loaded his motor
i boat with victims of the disaster,
I look them ashore and went back for
another load. W hen the final count
I was taken lie had saved 30 persons,
[including (.’apt. Howard T. Fenton.
55 years old. commander of the ill
[fated vessel, who has been a riv«*r
pilot 34 years.
But there were oilier heroes. Some
~>f them survived: some are missing.
! Their stories are told by other sui
' vivors. None had anything to say
iof his own efforts, but ai! had lynch
'to say of what the other fellow did.
Dramatic Acts Described.
■ Dramatic stories were told of the j
[wild staggering of the steamer just j
j before she went down. She listed j
heavily, and t'apt. Fenton ordered the]
• passengers scattered, thinking too i
j many were on one side of the boat.
Sitting in the cabin was a group of j
.Memphis engineers lient on organize
(ion of a local chapter of the Ameri
can Society of civil Frsgineers. "Trim
the ship " came the order. There was
[ no excitement.
The engineers without haste left
lhe cabin. Hardly had they reached
the deck before the ship wildly careen
;ed to the starboard. She refused to
j answer her helm. Three minutes
! later she was a hulk, lying upside
i down in the stream, her passengers
j and crew struggling in the swift
i water

THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. SATURDAY. MAY 9. 1925.
to respond when the vessel first began
to list, t'apt. Fenton said after be
ing brought here with other sur
vivors.
“The Norman was headed straight
upstream with the current jtist below
Coahoma Lauda," Capt. Fenton said,
"f was running on a slow Dell, flank
ing the boat into Coahoma landing.
She gave a sharp list to starboard.
\\ hen she started to list 1 pulled over
hard, but the rudder refused to re
-pond
"I .lied to have the passengers
trim up the boat, but within three
minutes she turned over. I was not
trying to head into shore. If I had
been every soul on board would have
been drowned.
“This action probably did not take
longer than 3u seconds.”
The Norman was built at Morgan
City, tovva. for the E. H. Norman
Towing & L umber Co. She was
purchased by the United States Kngi-
I peering Corps January 5 and con-
I verted into an oil burner. The ves
sel was so heavily loaded with ma
chinery that she hud only a few
inches of freeboard.
I uessel was 114 feet long, had
a 26-foot beam and a draft of 3 feet
6 inches. She carried a crew of 10.
Tlie steamers Chisca and Monitor
today went down file river to Bruins
ami were to carefully search the river
up to the scene of the disaster.
Cry “to Shift" Is Heard.
"in tlie midst of deliberations on
board tlie Norman over forming a
local chapter of the American Society
of Civil Engineers, a cry went up to
the assemblage to shift to ihe high
side of the boat." said \V. VV. Deberard
of i 'hicago, Western editor of tlie
Engineering News Record, who was
on the steamer which sank in the
Mi.ssissippi River south of here yes ,
erday.
"Since this same order had been ■
given twice before no one was flurried [
or felt uneasy, but started to comply
"Before it was possible to do so,
however, the boat continued to list,
j with the lower side awash, and every
: body rushed out of an inclosure at
| the i)ovv of tlie boat. There was no
I creaming or shouting, except to call
j for life preservers. The boat listed
■o fast that few were able to adjust
hemseives and practically everybody
j was thrown into the water who had
'•of already jumped. This action prol*
ibly did not take longer than 3'i
ecnnds.
"I was one of the last to leave the
iflner inclosure and make my escape
jup a gangway to tlie upper deck. No
me else apparently used this exit. By
tlie time I had extricated myself from

three or four men had leaped from the j
high side of the boat. As for myself |
and three or four other men who hud i
been catapulted into tlie water irom
the lower side of tlie boat, yve swam
for perhaps three minutes, picking up
floating debris, and then made our
way to the Loal. which had turned
over. .
“I was aided there by L. D. Hidni

[boat. Before tlie second man had
been rescued a cry went up Unut the
boat was going down hv the stern.
Tiie rolling motion precipitated us a
second time into the water. I grasped
a lifeboat xDat had turned over, but
almost immediately the large boat
sank and the lifeboat I was on sank
with it. Thus I was precipitated for
ttie third time into the water.
Was in Water One Hour.
"Luckily oars in tlie lifeboat floated
at hand and I grasped three ol them
which carried me safely for -he hour

j vessel began to sink and the few
j women passengers on the ill-fated
.steamer struck out for themselves
vvithout asking tlie men to assist
them, said Maj l>. Ii Connolly. a.Jso
j one of tlie survivors.
"I never saw a more orderly and
