TJ. S. SAILORS GO
DOWN IN HARBOE
New York, N. Y., Oct- 3- A search
was continued today for ine Dodies
of the United States sailors drowned
Saturday evening' when the cutter in
which they were returning to their
ship, the New Hampshire, was over
turned, but up to 11 o'clock this morning-
not one of the 29 reported drowned
had been recovered. Sixteen other
sailors are reported missing from the
battleship and are believed to have
overstayed "their shore leave.
The menV perished by the swamping
of the cutter, which -was being1 towed
to the vessel at anchor in the Hudson
river.
According- to captain Rodgers, no ar
rangements have been made for the
funeral of any body when found, but
aS picked up they will be taken to the
hospital ship Solace, now anchored in
the Hudson. They will be held there
until claimed by relatives or friends.
All the next of kin of the missing- men
liave been notified, but if any of these V- "' u , -m-;T
t,h toWr wll b sent Prising the $375000 payment on the
turn up, 8- second telegram will be sent
giving the good news. Relatives will
also be apprised by wire when a body
is recovered. j
Karl a Here.
R. Xarl, one of the men supposed to i
have been drowned, Is credited with
having saved four men. Karl -was a
big fellow and a good swimmer. In
the "water he held up two men until
two life preservers came his way. He
save these to the weaker two and
then swam around and found two oth
er men who were exhausted and sink
ing. These two he held up until they
-were picked up by a boat. Still re
gardless of his own safety, he did not
attempt to get aboard, for fear of ov
erloading it. Nobody seems to hav
seen him afterwards. The account ol
his bravery was given by his ship
mates. All day Sunday police boats dotted
the river above West 157th street, their
crews grappling for bodies. But their
efforts were without success, not one
body being recovered. Rivermen said
they -were not surprised, for when the
accident occurred, they declared, the
tide was. running out like a mill race,
It will probably be several days be
fore any more are found.
River Froat Crowded.
Along the water front in "the vicin
ity cf the accident, crowds gathered,
rushing hither and thither seeking in
formation. Many women were among
them, anxiety depicted on heir faces.
They were looking for news of rela
tives or friendsT who had shore leave
and should have reported back on the
New Hampshire yesterday evening.
The midshipmen on the. landing float
were courteous in answering Questions,
but when it came to the point of giv
ing news they referred everyone to the
officer of 'the deck on board the bat
tleship. Coart of Iaqairy Convenes.
On board the flagship Xiouisiana rear
admiral "Vreeland convened a court ol
inquiry to .determine the exact causa
of the accident and place the responsi
bility. A number of the men who were
on board the ill-fated boat told their
stories. A report of the findings ol
the court will be forwarded to tha
na-vy department. Yhether midship
Tnan Chevalier, who was in charge of
the barge, testified was not learned.
Neither could it be ascertained whether J
Chevalier was in the snips nospitai,
where he was taken in a ,delirious con
dition after the accident- V
It is generally believed that tha
barge, heavilj' loaded with sailors ana
marines returning from shore leave,
was towed into the heavy swells of a
passing steamer, rising for a moment
like a cork, the barge uien plunged
irto the trough between two waves,
one of which broke over the side an.:

:Los Angeles, Calif., Oct. 3. Pinned
down by tons of twisted steel girders,
a number of bodies were found early
today by the workmen engaged in re
moving the debris from the basement
of the wrecked Times building. It will
be impossible to recover the bodies un
til the steel crane is placed in position

been severely burned. Crabill said un

New York, N. Y.. Oct 3. "Loudon's
greatest beggar" is about to make a
tour of the principal American cities to
arouse the various municipalities to
the necessity of caring for crippled
children. This famous personage is Sir
W-illiam Purdie Treloar, Bart, former
lord mayor of London ana one of Eng
land's greatest philanthropists. He
was given the above unique appella- 1
tion by the people of London, after he i
had succeeded in talking the British
public out of $350,000 in order to erect
a hospital for the care of poverty
stricken, crippled children, of the great
city.
Sir William-is at present in New
York, and is painfully surprised that
America has made such slow progress
in "treating and caring for tuberculous
noon. The police have a ralr descrip
tion of the men and every effort is be
ing made to trace their movements
from the time they -were seen Friday.
The police believe they planted all
three bombs within a period of one
hour Friday night.
Seventeen" Suspects Held.
Seventeen men are now in jail,
booked as dynamite suspects. Howev-'
er, the best clue thus 'far obtained
comes from San Francisco irom the
offices of the Giant Po'wder company.
Bruce McCaul, chief Invoice clerk,
safd today that he could identify three
men who purchased 500 pounds of gel
atine dynamite on September 23. The
man who paid for the dynamite gave
the name of A. J. Bryson. He was ac
companied by a man giving the name
of Morris and an unidentified compan
ion. '
McCaul said today the, men Impress
ed him as heing college bred. Bryson
said he wanted the explosive of 85
per cent dynamite. On their orders,
the explosive was delivered to the
launch Peerless, and he, believed' it was
taken to Los Angeles in this way.
