Six Killed In Crash at Sea Boun-jlng Distress Signals By Wireless Tit. ;raphy Prevented an Appalling C.'.iAar at Sea Many Vessels Caught Message and Rushed to the Rescue Steamers Carried Over 1400 Passengers. New York. Jan. 25. The White Star liner Republic, rammed by tbe Italian liner Florida,in the fog off Nantucket, Mass., when six Demons were killed, sank after being kept afloat for thirty six hours. . Her passengers, taken o9 many hours before by the steamship Baltic, were landed here. .The , Republic was In tow of the revenue cutter Gresham and the dere lict destroyer Seneca, proceeding to New York, when she sank. On board her was Captain Sealbrwith a Volun teer detaH of fifty of her crow. They were taken off by the Gresham, which cast loose from the crippled liner and stood by until she sank beneath the waves. The Florida, which crashed into the Republic in the dense fog Saturday morning and gave her her death blow, was conveyed to tbia port by the American liner New York. That there was loss of life attending the collision was not known until Sun day. Then the wireless, which has bad Its first great -trial and proved Us utility, brought the news that Mrs Eugene Lynch, of Boston, ."and W. J. Mooney, a banker, of Langdon. N. D.. bad been killed, and Mrs, M. M Mur phy, wife of the financial agent of the Vnlon Central Life Insurance com pany, of Grand Forks, N. P.and IJu gene Lynch, of Boston. Injured, In ad dltlon to theso casualties among tbe passengers on the Republic, four ,111101 bers of the" Florida's crew bad met death. It was by most merciful circum stance that the wreck of the Republic did not become one of the most ap palling tragedies of thhe deep. She suffered by that unavoidable thing a collision in a fog. Fortunately she was but twenty-six miles from land, was in the path of traffic and the vessel that rammed her was able to give aid. From the moment that the Republic was struck amidships by the Florida the danger that she would perish was apparent The Republic was equipped with wireless telegraphy, and hurdly had tbe shock of the collision -passed when ber call for help went out to all vessels anil shore stations that it might reach. The engines were stop ped and the dynamos dead, but storage batteries had been provided, and 83 long as they lasted the wireless oper ator of tbe Republic continued to send out the call "C. Q. D." the ambu lance summons of the sea. Many vessels caught It and turned about to hasten with all speed to the rescue. The huge Baltic, of the same line as the wrecked vessel; La Lor raine, of the French line; the Cunard er Luc an i a and several revenue cut ters along shore were In the fleet that went groping in the almost Impene trable fog, their sirens screaming and submarine bells booming their signals, in search of the helpless ship.; As the result proved, since the Bal tic reached the scene before the Re public sank; the wireless would have saved all of her lives; but though at tfirst it bad seemed that both wounded vessels would sink, the Florida was gotten under command a few hours af ter the collision and hastened to the support of the Republic. A dead calm prevailed, and all of the Republic's passengers were transferred without injury. Later they were transferred to the Baltic.

TproUna J Fertilisers v Lbemp2U I School Boys Fight a Duel Fought In Classroom During Recess to Determine Which Should Have the Right of Way For Girl's Affec tions Twenty Classmates Witness ed Fight '.'"''. William Pollak, a fourteen-year-old schoolboy, was sent from the public school at Summit, N, J, to the Over look hospital at Newark, suffering from a dangerous knife wound, over the heart -.' .. ',;-". According to Pollak, the wound was received in a duel with a classmate. Arthur Tappan, sixteen years of age. Both boys, Pollak asserts, were rivals for the affections of a girl member of their class, and to determine which one should have the right of way they decided upon a duel. This was fought out, he says, during the noon recess, one of the classrooms at the school serving s the duelling ground, and pocketknives as the weapons. Other pupils confirm Pollak's story and say that twenty classmates of the two boys witnessed the fight At the- hospital is was said that if Pollak's wound bad been half an inch lower it would have proved fatal A Queer Coincidence. There are two George ..Washington Anthonys in thetuitud States and both are prosperous merchants in the towns of Burlington one in New Jersey and one in North Carolina. And the mere fact that some postal clerk blundered and took "N. C." to mean "N. J." is all that brought the two men together they have met and have shaken bands. But that is only the smallest part of this story. J Their k hves present a re markable "parallel-a parallel that wouldn't happen once in ten billion timesV' And let it be explained right now; that . there is no relationship between them; their identity of names does not come from belonging to the same family. It is just chance, that plays jokes on us all. The lives of these two Anthonys have been parallel ever since they were born. Both enlisted as drummer boys, one from the North arid the other from the South, in 186'2," when each was sixteen years old,' Their regiments laced each other at Fredericksburg and. Antietam and elsewhere in those sanguinary con flicts between jMiSLrrffcof the Potomac and the"ArmV of Northern, Virginia. 'The YankeyAnthonys regiment cap tared the Southern Anthony, He was sent as a prisoner of war to Point Look out, Md.) and kept there until the end of the war. Then each went to his- own particular Burlington, each one a poor boy with the world before him. They married at the same time. Both entered the mercantile business. Both prospered at the same time, liach lost his wife. Each married fora second time within six months of the other and now they have met and clasped hands, tbe .warmest of friends, T these two An tinny s of Burlingtons, N. J. and N. C. Sunday World correspondents have chatted with both these George Wash ington Anthonys, of the two .Burling tons. The stories they tell present a striking example of how Fate can play fast and loose with men who live .hun dreds of miles apart. f Does This Suit You?

Washington. Jan. 25. Governor Ma goon, of the provisional government of Cuba; In his annual report to the secretary of war, brings to bis atten lion tho wreck of tbe United States battleship Maine in Havana harbor, and recommends that the government take1 Immediate steps to accomplish Its removal without further delay. He says the wreck Is a serious men ace 10 shipping, and. the obstruction has increased considerably by causing a shoal, and If not removed it will be necessary to begin dredging to provide proper anchorage for ships. He then says: -. :!' .' "Even more important than this ob struction to navigation Is the fact that this wreck, although It contains the bodies of sixty-three American sea men. or what is left of them, is appar ently 'abandoned and forgotten by the government and people of the United States. Thousands of Americans and other thousands of other nationalities annually enter the harbor of Havana, and probably not one omits to express a regret and censure for the dcplor able spectacle." It has. become a na tional reproach and an international scandal. "The neglect to remove the wreck If attributed by many, especially tbe large Spanish contingent In Cuba, to the fear that its removal will disclose the fallacy of the popular belief that the Maine was destroyed by a torpedo or mine Instead of an interior explo slon. So generally does this opinion prevail that I believe the Cuban gov erhment" was deterred thereby from dealing with the wreck as an obstruc tion to navigation of Its coastal waters and destroying It However, it should be added that the Cuban authorities were also restrained by a belief thai Jhe United States would sometime de Sire to attempt to remove it and pre serve the wreck as a whole Instead ol breaking it up and removing it in the more inexpensive manner."
