LOST IN WRECK
Terrible Suffering Attended
Loss of Ship
BIG ITALIAN STEAMER
Special Anxiety Over Disposition to
Ho Made of the Impoverished Im
migrants Who Were Saved. A
Brazilian Bishop Among Those
Lost. Excitement of Relatives of
Passengers. Sirio Was An Old
Ship.
(By the Associated Press.)
Genoa, Italy, Aug. 6. The loss of
the Italian steamer Sirio causes in
tense excitement among the relatives
and friends of the Italian passengers
and crew, most of whom lived here
or in this vicinity. The officers of
the captain of the port and of the
Italian general navigation company,
to which the Sirio belonged, were so
besieged today by agonized crowds
seeking information, that the police
were compelled to establish barriers
to hold back the crowd. Some of the
people assiimed a threatening aspect,
declaring that facts were being with
held.
The Sirio had seen twenty-three
years of service, but she was con
sidered to be in a seaworthy condi
tion. She was built of iron and
wood; had a single screw, was of
4,000 tons gross register and had a
speed of fifteen knots per hour. Her
captain Guisseppe Pardl was a na
tive of Genoa and a veteran seaman.
The disposition to be made of the
impoverished immigrants who woro
saved from the Sirio causes special
anxiety. The situation recalls a sim
ilar wreck of a Genoese ship near the
rock Gibraltar, when the survivors
wero unable to proceod to America
or return to Italy and thereforo es
tablished a fishing colony near Gib
raltar, where they still remain.
Cartagena, Spain, Aug. 6. Reports
continue to arrive here of the terri
ble scones attending the wreck on
Saturday evening, off Heermigas Is
land, of tho Italian steamer Sirio,
from Genoa, August 2, via Barce-
lonaand other ports for Buenos
Ayrc3, resulting in the loss of over
three hundred lives. The drowning
of the bishop of Sao Paolo, Brazil,
is now attributed to the action of an
Argentine passenger, who forcibly
took from the bishop a life belt with
which the latter had provided him
self. One Italian woman kept her three
children afloat on a plank until they
were all picked up.
A bridegroom who was on his hon
eymoon lost his wife and sister. One
old man who was saved lost three
children. Captain Guisseppe Pardl,
commander of the Sirio, was sixty
two years old and had forty-five
years experience in navigation.
The Sirio is considered a total loss.
Her captain is said to have formerly
commanded the Perseus which sank
off Cartagena.
A number of bodies of the drown
ed were buried today. Ten of the
rescued passengers died after being
brought ashore.
The survivors say that the Sirio
sank With extreme rapidity. Many
of the pasengers were on deck as tho
steamer disappeared. The boats
wero so overcrowded that a number
of them immediately capsized throw
ing the occupants into the water.
Quantities of food and clothing for
the survivors are arriving here from
all parts of the country. A public
subscription started for the relief of
the destitute passengers has already
reached a large sum.
The survivors are quartered in tho
theatres, hospitals and clubs, the
poorer classes of the inhabitants of
Cartagena rivalling each other in as
sisting the shipwrecked people.
Carlos Venturing a resident of Bar
celona who was a passenger with his
family on the Sirio succeeded in sav
ing three sons and nine other p!is
sengers. Senor Venturini's daughter
who is 18 years old and an expert .
swimmer, saved two children, whose
parents are unknown. One family
consisting of the father, mother and
six children was drowned with the
exception of the father who lost his
reason.
Brigadi Morelli, who has arrived
at the Italian consulate here relates
how she and her husband were hurl
ed into the sea by the force of the
explosion of the Sirlo's hollers. She
was picked up and brought ashore
but does not know the fate of her
husband.
Relief For Shipwrecked Passengers,
Naples, August 6. Many of the eml
grants who sailed for South America
on the wrecked steamer Sirio wore from
Southern Italy, and accordingly groat
anxiety is manifested here. Thousands
of people are seeking news of tho disas
ter and the names of persons for the
purpose of identifying tho lost and
saved. .
The Sirio touched here July 23 after
leaving Alexandria, Egypt, with which
port she carried on a mail service. The
Italian General Navigation Company
to which the wrecked vessel belonged,
has dispatched a steamer to Cartagena
carrying relief for the shipwrecked pas
sensors and crew.
Captain May Have Kscaped.
Home, August 6. The Italian General
Navigation Company owners of the
wrecked steamer Sirio received ft dis
patch last night purporting to come
from the captain of llie Sirio reserving
his report of the details of the wreck
but saying that the crew wero safe.
This raises the possibility that the cap
tain ultimately was rescued.
To Investigate Wreck.
Madrid, Aug. 6. The naval au
thorities here have opened an in
quiry into the wreck of the Italian
steamer Sirio. In the 'meantime the
officers will be detained at Cartagena
to await the result.
Story of tin- Disaster.
Following is the announcement of
the disaster sent out by the Associ
ated Press Sunday:
Cartagena. Spain, Aug. 5. A ter
rible marine disaster occurred last
evening off Cape Palos. The Italian
steamship Sirio, from Genoa for Bar
celona, Cadiz, Montevideo and Bue
nos Ayres, was wrecked off Horniigas
Island.
Three hundred emigrants, most of
them Italians and Spaniards, were
drowned.
The captain of the steamer com
mitted suicide.
The bishop of Sao Pablo, Brazil,
also was lost and it is reported that
another bishop is among the missing.
The remainder of the passengers
and tho officers and crew got away
in tho ships boats or were rescued
by means of boats sent to them from
the shore.
A number of fishermen who made
attempts to rescue were drowned.
Those rescued from the vessel arc
now at Cape Palos in a pitiable con
dition, being without food or cloth
ing. The Sirio struct a rocky reaf
known as liajos Hormigas and sank
soon after, stern first. Hormigas Is
land lies about two and half miles
to the eastward of Cape Palos.
The Sirio was owned by the Xavi
gazione Italiana, of Genoa.
Before he committed suicide the
captain declared the steamer had 545
passengers on board and tho crew
numbered 127 men. The Sirio had
171 passengers when leaving Genoa
but additional Spanish passengers
wero taken on board at Barcelona,
where the vessel touched a few hours
before the disaster.
The disaster occurred at ! o'clock
yesterday afternoon. The steamer
was threading a difficult passage
through the Hormigas group, where
the Bajos Hormigas reef is a con
tinual menace to navigation. The
vessel began to settle rapidly imme
diately she had struck and a terrible
scene of confusion and panic ensued
on board. The fishermen along the
coast sought to render every assist
ance in their power and sent out
boats which brought many survivors
ashore. Most of the officers and crew
of the Sirio are among the saved.
ARBITRATION PLAN
AGREED UPON
(Bv the Associated Press.)
Rio de Janerio, Aug. G. The Inter
national American Conference at to
day's session unanimously agreed upon
a project providing for the arbitration
of disputes between the countries rep
resented. It ratifies the adherence of
the American republics to the princi
ple of arbitration and recommends that
the Pan-American delegates to the
Peace Conference to be convened at
The Hague be instructed to support a
general arbitration convention. The
vote on the project will be taken to
morrow. HOW FOOLISH FATHER

and his son Albert, aged 8, were
drowned last night while rowing in

THE STRIKE
. LACKS SPIRIT
Failure Predicted Unless
Situation Changes
WORKMEN NOT AGREED
Some of the Labor Organisations
Lukewarm on the Subject and
Others in Open Revolt Against
Orders of Leaders Knilroad Ser
vice Not Stopped Vet and Violence
May lie Resorted To.
(By tho Associated Press.)
St. Petersburg, Aug. B. Unless dis
patches from the interior within a
few hours entirely change the situa
tion the general strike promises to
prove a complete failure.
Although the liberals arc strongly
opposed to the course of the govern
ment they shrink from precipitating
revolution and the horrors of a civil
war in which the country would be
plunged if the plans of the proletariat
lenders were successful.
Not only is the sympathy of the in
telligent public lacking, but in St.
Petersburg the leaders, of the various
labor organizations find many of the
followers lukewarm and even in open
rebellion against their orders. When
the central committee of the printers
union adjourned last night many of
the men returned to their cases with
the result that four newspapers ap
peared this morning.
The central committee of the rail
road men's union finds so many of
the men either opposed to a strike or
afraid to risk the loss of their posi
tions, with imprisonment into the bar
gain, that It has not yet, so far as
known, issued a formal order to strike.
If the train service is not brought to
a standstill, the collapse of the strike
movement is inevitable.
The workmen's council, which appar
ently Is a much weaker body than
the similar council which managed the
strike of last' fall, in fear of failure
has already practically determined to
resort to violence, in order to stop
traffic on the railroads, if the men re
fuse to join In the movement.
The authorities are using all the
means at thler disposal to block the
revolutionary moves In every direc
tion and appear convinced that the
strike leaders cannot gather sufficient
headway to endanger the life of the
state. Indeed they believe that noth
ing more than local strikes will soon
degenerate into the old story of crime
and trcrrorlsm will result.

LYERLY MURDER TRIAL
rent Crowd Gathers At Rowan
Court To Witness Trial Of The
Negroes Who Are To Be Arraigned
This Afternoon Judge Long's
Charge To The Grand Jury He
Is Severe On Lynching.
(Special to The Evening Times.)
Salisbury, X. C, Aug. 6 This city is
today thronged with a great crowd of
visitors, brought by the calling for
trial here this afternoon of the case
against the negroes now in Jail charged
with the murder of the Lyerly family
near Barber's junction, Rowan county,
last month.
There Is probably no immediate dan
ger of an attempt to jynch the prison
ers, but every precaution is being taken
to prevent anything smacking of mob
violence.
' There are now in jail ten well-armed
men with Winchesters and shot guns
loaded with buck shot, the yard is kept
clear and the man who goes Into It
tonight carries his life in his hands.
There will be no foolishness.
Tho men will be arraigned this after
noon and a jury drawn.
In his charge to the grand jury today
Judge Long stated that he did not be
lieve there was danger of . lynching.
That Rowan people are too good for
anything like that. But he declared
that if any man was heard by the
grand jury to be planning any such
course he must report this to the judge
and he would stop this proceeding and
fight it out with him on this line If it
takes all the summer.
This utterance Is the keynote of the I
situation. i

IOWA DEMOCRATS
MEET AT WATERLOO
(Bv
Waterk
the demo
will meet
tho Associated Press.)
i. Ia., Aug. 6. Delegates to
ratlc state convention which
tomorrow, arrived today in
a large number. As nearly all the
veteran workers of the party are here,
a conference will be held today to
agree upon a tentative program as to
the ticket.
The loading candidates for governor
are George . Ban or towa city,
Claud Porter of Centrevllle and John
D. Denison of Dubuque. As to other
places on the ticket, there has been
little talk.
There is no factional alignment visi
ble on the ticket platform. Regarding
one thing all who have arrived are
fully agreed and that is for a strong
endorsement cf Bryan for president.
Among the most conspicuous in this
movement are those who In the past
have opposed Bryan. It Is expected
that the tariff plank in the platform
will demand Immediate revision and
the placing of some articles on the
free list.
A plank In favor of a national board
to deal with labor troubles Is being
drawn.
SIMMON
THE RACE FOR
Murphy, Manning, Justice and
Dowd to the Front
CAMPAIGN HAS BEGUN
Friends of the Candidates Actively
At Work In Their Behalf Walter
Murphy Here, But Silent As To
Knee Qpod .Men Coming To The
Legislature.
Politicians arc having much to say
these clays about the light whic h is bo
ing made to elect various members
speaker of the next house of repre
sentatives of North Carolina. The leg
islature meets in January and already
the friends of the candidates are ac
tively at work. Mr. Walter Murphy
of Rowan county was the llrst to enter
the race, so to speak, and he has
friends all over the state who will
work actively in his behalf. Mr. Mur
phy was in Raleigh today, and while
he Is not. having much to say about
the contest, he was receiving the con
gratulations of many friends In the
city who would be delighted to see
him made presiding officer of the
house. Mr. Murphy is one of the most
popular citizens of North Carolina
and if he makes a hard effort his
friends believe that his election is cer
tain. At the democratic county convention
In Durham on Saturday resolutions
were adopted endorsing Mr. J. S. Man
ning for speaker and he will have
strong hacking. Mr. K. J. Justice of
Guilford Is also in the race and an
other candidate is Mr. W. C. Dowd of
Mecklenburg. There may be others,
but the speaker will doubtless come
from the four now in the field.
All things considered, the next leg
islature will be composed of good men
and the tone will be conservative
rather than radical. A number of old
members will return, but the new
ones will add life, strength and dig
nity, and the questions of importance
to be considered will be carefully
weighed before final action Is taken.
That, at least, is the general opinion
throughout the state.
Some of the newspapers have been
trying to convey the impression that
railroad and
insurance legislation will
ho the mult, lhlCTC ... !, ,l
candidates have followed the line of
newspaper dictation without having
the least familiarity with those sub
jects. Aside from all that, however,
it is believed that the legislature will
start In and do what it thinks best
without the advice of the bosses.

Manhattan Island, was thronged witti
people. The police had instructions
to allow the people to make free in the

The public swimming baths along
the river front were overcrowded and
those in charge had difficulty induc
