IN THE OCEAN Crsw of Coasting Schooner Cling to Bottom of tho Upturned Boat SAVE EIGHT OUT OF SEVENTEEN xNlne of the Shipwrecked Persons Lose Their Hold and Drop .Into Sea, While Survivors Drift About With­ out Food Four Days. . . v Providenfce, R. L, dispafef • the most grewsome sea tragedies was told when the schooner W. S. Field­ ing reached this port from West In­ dian waters. Nearing Port au Prince on the outward voyage the Fielding ran near a dark object bobbing over the seas. It was found to be an over­ turned boat with seven men and one woman clinging to it, striving with the little strength they had left to hold on the slippery bottom. How they man­ aged to do so is a miracle. The coasting schooner*"^ which they belonged had struck a rock and partly filled. Then It had suddenly '"turned turtle." The crew of seventeen persons had all managed to. get upon the bottom of the overturned craft. Then ensued four days of starvation was the terrible pounding and scraps ing of their bodies on the ship's boti' torn as the waves lifted and dropped them. Their legs and then their bod­ ies were beaten, scraped, and cut un­ til the blood flowed freely. Drop Into the Sea. The men began to give out the sec­ ond day. One by one they became ex hausted, and, losing their hold, slipped into the sea. Others became delirious and, In their frenzy, dropped off to drown. The company dwindled to ten the fourth day, and the next morning only eight survived. These were about to give up their long and bitter fight for life, when one of them sighted the Fielding. The survivors were taken to Port au Prince. Qn arriving in port Captain King do* llvered the shipwrecked persons to the authorities and before he left for Providence he received through the British consul general an official ex pression of the hearty thanks of the Haytlan government for his rescue of the shipwrecked Haytians.

The Fielding was about twelve miles distant from the Island of Gon- alve when the boat was sighted by Capt King, who was in command. He took a long survey of the object through his binocular and then had the course of his vessel changed. As the schooner drew near he saw a ship bottom up and the bleached arms of living persons clinging to the capsized thing. The dark hair of the woman was floating over the sea as 'the waves ran and fell along the bobbing keel. Capt. King decided to run along close by. He had his life line ready and at the right moment threw it toward the wreck. Two men and a woman caught the line and held on. They were dragged aboard like so many fish. Fear of death in the hour of deliverance Impelled them to hold on with so firm a grip that even when safely aboard they could hardly be persuaded to relinquish the line. Boat to the Rescue. Capt King decided it would be too great a risk to depend on the life line to save the other five men, who sure­ ly would be drowned If they released their hold upon the wreck. The Field­ ing's crew unlashed a boat and put it overboard. The captain took the five men into it and carried them aboard ship. The rescued persons are in a serious condition, and had been without food or water for four days and nights. The vessel' was a small schooner and had, five days before the wreck was sighted, left the island of Gon- alve, Hayti, for the island of Mlrl- goane, carrying seventeen persons, in­ cluding the captain. It was loaded with fruits and provisions. Cut Off From Food. When a day out from Gonalve the schooner struck a rock. All the schooner's company managed to cling to the wreck. So quickly had the boat turned turtle that not a mouth­ ful of food or a drop of drinking water could be saved. The first day there was a hot and blinding sun and a choppy sea. Their hunger and thirst were bad enough, but added to these ARREST THE LEADERS OF MOB Senor Candamo has been installed as president of the Republic of Peru at Lima.

Orgsnli^i<|^p:|^fe| ^Beloit, Wis., dispatch: What prom* ises~to be a most serious conflict be­ tween church and unionism has be­ gun and promises to spread until Ro­ man Catholics who are members of la­ bor organizations will be given the choice of membership in only one. Of late several Roman Catholic priests in this section have taken oo* casion to criticise the oath taken by members of the International Typo­ graphical union, but the most radical step yet taken is chat of Father M. J. Ward, pastor of^flt Thomas' church, who has announced he will refuse ab­ solution to those who have t&kext printers' oath. Expulsion From Church. . v The refusal of absolution means ex­ pulsion from the church and the de­ nial of Christian burial after death. To the good churchman it is certain damnation to die outside the church, :;So the choice now put before him is a most serious problem. This is the part of the oath to which Father Ward objects: "My fidelity to the union ind my duty to the members thereof shall in no sense be interfered with by any allegiance that I may now or hereafter! owe to any other organization, social, political or religious, secret or other­ wise." Must Make a-Choice. "No Catholic taking such an oatb can secure absolution from me or any other priest," declared Father Ward. ' l am told that members of all unions are required to ,take a similar oath. I wish to warn my hearers that no man or woman can take such an obli­ gation without conflicting with their duty as Catholics and as good citi­ zens. "If the members of my church who belong to the Typographical union ean modify their oath so as not to conflict with their religious obligations, well and good. Otherwise they must get out of the union or out of my church. This is practically the same stand tak­ en by President Roosevelt in making members St the union take the oath of allegiance to the United States SOW' eminent" ' Is Upheld by Administrator. \ ^ Milwaukee, Wis., dispatch: Father A. F. Schinner, administrator of the archdiocese of Milwaukee, said that Father Ward was justified in making his statement regarding the printers' uaion oath, and that he himself voali say the same thing. (j 'ft Obligation Is Modified. /.,V:> New York dispatch: No question concerning the scope of the obligation taken by the members of the Internar tional Typographical union ever has come before the archdiocese of New York. "There have been objections to Its form." said an old member of the union. "Many devout Roman Catholics objected to taking It on account of the reference to religious associations. In many cases where the Catholics in­ sisted on their objection on the grounds of conscience the union obli­ gation was modified for their benefit" w 're- r;4 •Vi m LATEST CA8H MARKET REPORt WHEAT.
