Eleven Others Believed To Have Been

Lives
NEW YORK, Dec. 17 ? Eleven sur
vivors of- Uie Spanish Steamer Pio IX.
wrecked in a storm and sunk several
hundred miles off the Canary Islands
on December R, arrived hero today on
the S. S. Buenos Aires. Eleven others
Iwere reported to have been saved by a
i French transport. Forty of the cre.v,
? including: the Caplain, were drowned.
?Nine of the men on the Buenos Aires
. were picked up from an improvised
.raft and two of them from a ladder.
1 Had it not been for two small ole-v
J t ric flashlights, it was said, the mot.
brought here also probably would
.have been drowned. The Buenos
; Aires, which had responded to an "S.
; O. S." call from the Pio IX failed in
?an effort to attach a line for her own
; safety. All the lifeboats on the Pio
j IX, ii was said, had been smashed in
attempts to launch I'm. Night over
took them, the survivors said, as they
were battling hopelessly in the rag
ing sea. *
i A light flashing from the surface ?>[
the sea attracted attention on boa id
the Buenos Aires. A boat was low
ered and two of ihe survivors 'were |
picked up from a ship's ladder. wit'o.|
which they had leaped into the water.!
Soon afterward a similar licrht was
observed and nine others were picked
up from an improvised life raft.
A wireless messagt ? ihe last from I
the Pio. IX ? received by the operator!
on the Buenos Aires later in the nislU
announced tbai the ship was sinking
rapidly. The message closed with a'
good-bye. The Buenos Aires . re
mained in the vicinity until daylight
but no trace then was seen of the ves

LEWIS MACHINE GUN IS
OFFICIALLY JJONDENMEDj
WASHINGTON. t>0''. 1 7.? Official
condemnation of the Lewi* machine. ex
tensively purchased for th? British and'
Canadian armies, is expressed in a for
mal statement issued tonight by Secre
tary leaker, assuming full responsibility
for the action of the War Department
with respect ? to the much discussed
weapon and directing that controversy
among army officers over it cease.
"Whatever responsibility attaches ?o
the condemnation of this gun as n. ser
vice 'belongs to the War Department,"
the statement asserts, "and not to the
chief of ordnance <n- the ordnance de
partment. The proceedings of the boards
which tested the rifle have been in each
case duly approved by the secretary of
war."
The statement shows that the inspec
tor-general was' directed to investigate
the whole mater of the treatment of the
l^cwis gun, named after its inventor, a
former army officer. wh?n "the contro
versy reached the stage where open let
ters from high ranking artnv officers
were published."
A board ot officers already had agreed
with previous boarus (hat the gun was
not suitable for extensive purchase for
the army.
