"The engine room was evidently .
flooded almost immediately as In a ]

and undoubtedly this caused a great '

than would otherwise have occurred.
Many, unfamiliar with the ship, evidently
lost tfelr way in their efforts
to get on deck dnd were swept down
in the whirlpool.
"Many of the passoagers and crew ,
who lost their lives, were evidently j
killed in their bunks or pinioned
there so that they oould not esoape.
The vessel was struck on the starboard
side Just forward of amidships
and so quickly did she go to
pieces, that as 1 was leaving I noticed
the paint on the bulkheads
was crumbling and scaling off."

BIG ATTRACTION
Lovers of good plays and line acting
mre certain to welcome the announcement
that "Wibtln the Law"
Bay ltd |Veir|yr> abedrglns Melodrama
of modern American life,
which Is the current dramatic seasat
ion in New York and Chicago, is
to be given Its Initial local presentation
on February 4th at the New
Theater under the managerial sponsorship
of the American Play Company.
Forsaking, the conventional paths
pursue^ by playwrights Mr. Yelller
has, in "Within the Law" devised a
virile and exciting drama of a certain
phase of contemporaneous life
in the larger cities that appeals with
equal force to every das* of theater-goor.
The story Is that of a
young girl who is unjustly convicted
and sent to prlsdn for theft, who
tries to live honeetly when released.
I but Sa hounded by the police until
she loses her position end who then
'urns on them and raatehes her wits
igalnst their brutality, keeping1
''Within the law "and employing the
kn-trmcies and folae Standards anl
technicalities of the law to shield
,hcr from arrest. She develops Ingenuity,
daring, and makes the man
who sent her to prison pay tor hei
four-years of drudgery tor him and
her three years.In a felon's cell, al'most'
break In g his heart through hit
son and heir.
For "Within the Law" the American
Play company have engaged as
adequate cofct of individual and coli
lectiye excellence while the extensive

Everyone in Washington remembers-with
pleasure Miss Ella Pugh
Keith, the neice of Mr. E. W. Ayers,
who went to Boston 'Conservatory
of Music several years ago where she
graduated with honor and distinction
Prior to her entrance to the Boston
Conservatory of Music she took first
honors ot the Southern Conservatory
of Music at Durban?, N. C.
Last year Miss Keith wis happily
marlred to Mr. John Addison Halen,
a prominent and promising attorney
of the Hub City. Mr. Halen is mak
"5 bwuii i u uib iuuku yrui?uioa
and especially in his line of work
studying Insanity. Some few weeks
ago Mr. Haien delivered a very Interesting
lecture on "The Possible
Solution of the Problem of the Insane
of Massachusetts." What he
had to say attracted the attention
of none other than Harry Tbaw who
upon reading what this gifted young
and promising attorney had to say
upon the subject sent a wire to
him to visit him In New Hampshlro
In consequenece of this wire Mr.
Haien went to see Thaw and remained
with him for two days, being
entertained most royally by the man
who today stands out In the limelight
far above, all others. Mr.
Haien says that Thaw is a perfectly
sane mau. He has no doubt but
what this noted prisoner will gain
his freedom.
He has been engaged as one of
the counsel for the noted prisoner.
Mr. Haien has never visited Washington
since he was fortunate enough
to gain the hekrl an dhand of a
young lady whose friends are legion
here. Notwithstanding that he Is
a stranger to our people the latch
string ever will hang on the outside.
