IIEIER URBEll 135 DIE AT SEA, S2I ARE RESCUED t^NER VOLTURNO BURN8 FOL­ LOWING AN EXPLO- 8ION. FOUR LIFEBOATS ARE LOST .Ten 8teamships 8t«nd by All Night Unable to Get Line Aboard Blazing Craft--Many Jump Into the 8ea and Are Drowned. London, Oct. 13.--The Volturno of the Uranium line, burning and helpless in a raging mid-Atlantic storin, last Thursday sent a wireless call over the •ea and drew to it ten ships that came up in time to save 521 of its 656 pas­ sengers and crew. The others, 135, were swallowed by the ocean when the lifting waves crushed four of the Volturno's life­ boats against the ship's side. Helpless for Twenty Hour*. For more than twenty hours the ten rescuing ships that had wheeled in their courses when the "S. O. S." halt­ ed them in the storm cruised around the Volturno, unable to give aid be­ cause of the dangers of wind and wave. It was not until Friday morning that they were able to transfer the Voltur­ no's .passengers, who were for the most part immigrants . from eastern Europe bound for Halifax and New York. And it was a matter of two or three hours at the least that meant the dif­ ference between life and death to the 521 who had been1 driven aft by the growing fire and who had about given up all hope. Bums Amid Big Fleet. Ou Thursday night, as it fell dark, the 5,000 passengeVs of the ten ships that had come up to deliver the Vol­ turno's people, had one. of the most re­ markable experiences that ever fell to people that sail the sea. They saw a great ship burning in the center of a fleet impotent to help. The flames leaping from the Volturno Illuminated the great waves that daunted the rescuing vessels. All •round were steamships ablaze with light whose people heard the cries of the Volturno's passengers and were powerless to give aid. These ten Bhips were the Carmania of the Cunard line, the Grosser Kur­ fuerst of the North German-Lloyd, the Rappahannock, the Kroonland of the , Bed Star line; La Touralne of the Ftqpch line, the Minneapolis of the ^ Atlantic Transport line, the Ccar, the harragansett, the Devonian and the Seydlitz. Rescues on Friday Morning. Early on Friday morning, the weather having moderated, these ships were able to lower small boats and " take off the Volturno's passengers. 'Captain Barr of the Carmania, whose wireless message to the offices of the Cunard line in Liverpool gave the Urst news of one of the greatest mar­ ble disasters In history, placed the number that had been rescued as fol­ lows: Carmania 11 La Touralne 40 limiieapolis 30 Rappahannock 19 Czar 102 Narragansett 29 Devonian 59 Kroonland 90 Grosser Kurfuerst 105 Beydlitz 36 Wireless Brings Early Aid. Had it not been for the great storm that made the launching of small boats a desperate venture, it is likely that few if any of the Volturno's passen­ gers wo^ld have been drowned. The j wireless Served again in time of need and the ships that were passing sped up in time to have picked up such •mall boats. The Volturno was sufficiently equipped with both life boats and life belts, but no seamanship or cour­ age could overcome the fury of the storm. Six boats were dropped into the -sea Shortly after an explosion forward had killed several of the crew and some of the Immigrant passengers and had fired the fore part of the steamship. Only two of these boats were able to get away from the ship's side. Four were gripped by the waves and ham­ mered to pieces against the plates. Their passengers drowned. Th official report of the disaster, which was received at the Cunard of­ fice in Liverpoool, was timed on board the Carmania by Captain Barr at 6:30 o'clock. The report says first that the Volturno was abandoned on ac­ count of fire on Friday, October 10, in latitude 34.33 west, and that all Buryiv ore were taken ofT.

The Volturno was abandoned at e point in the ocean which is about 700 miles north of east of where the Ti­ tanic sank and 1,500 lives were lost on April 14,1912. The scene of Thurs­ day's disaster was about 450 miles east of Newfoundland and well in the steamship track. Tj*e Carmania's lifeboat, in charge of First Officer Gardiner, made a gal­ lant but futile attempt to get along­ side the Volturno. ^Captain Barr of the Carmania in the meantime kept his wireless sip' paratus at work communicating with- all the vessels within the radius of his Instruments. At four o'clock in the afternoon the Grosser Kurfuerst and the Seydlitz came in sight and these two were Joined later in the afternoon by the Kroonland, the Devonian, the Rappa­ hannock, the Minneapolis, and La Touralne. The gale abated slightly toward night and each of the rescue ships, as soon as it was possible for it to do so put but boats. The waves were still so high, however, that all the small craft were driven back. Cries were heard during the night, but the searchlights could locate no one. They who cried out perished miserably with ten ships, as brilliant as summer hotels, standing all around them. Rescues Begin at Dawn. The storin continued throughout the night, but toward dawn the wind decreased and the sea began to get smoother. Every minute of the dark­ ness the officers and crew of the ten rescuing ships fiad been on duty watching and waiting for a chance to lower boats. At daylight their oppor­ tunity came. All of the waiting steamships had part in the rescue. The sea in the neighborhood of the Volturno was covered with lifeboats. The boats ap­ proached the stern, where th© hun­ dreds of passengers and crew were gathered, and in turn took on loads of survivors. Some of the Volturno's people leaped Into the water end were hauled into the lifeboats. Survivor Tells of Disaster. London, Oct. 14.--C. F. Hart, me­ chanical manager of the Daily Mail, who was a passenger on the Cunard- er Carmania, gave a description of the burning of the Volturno. The mes­ sage is as follows: "The lifeboats took off in quick succession the pas­ sengers from the Volturno as they slid one by one down the lifelines. "Daybreak saw two other additions to the rescue fleet, the Russian-Ameri­ can liner Czar and the tank steamer Narragansett. The latter came at full speed and quickly took up a position to windward of the Volturno. In a few moments two large streams of oil were pouring over the side of the Nar­ ragansett, and this materially calmed the waters and was of invaluable as­ sistance in aiding the small boats to take off the passengers and crew. The oil was directed toward the stern of the burning vessel, for It was from this end of the ship that the survivors were being taken. Passengers Are Taken Off. "By nine o'clock Friday morning all of the passengers who remained on the;' Volturno, 521, had been safely taken off and transferred to the ten vessels summoned by wireless. Each of the ten vessels then went on a short cruise in different directions in an efTort to find the lifeboats which had been launched from the Volturno before assistance arrived. No trace of these were found, however, and lit­ tle hope is held out that any of these boats escaped, aB they were manned by passengers, the crew remaining on board to fight the flames. "J.t the passengers in these lifeboats have been drowned the loss of life will total 136. Wireless Saved Many Lives. "That the entire complement of 657 persons were not lost, and a sea trag­ edy second to the Titanic disaster re­ corded, was due entirely to the wire­ less and the prompt response of Cap­ tain Barr of the Carmania. Captain Barr showed wonderful executive abil­ ity in taking command of the situa­ tion after he arrived and in carrying out the rescue of those persons who remained on the burning vessel. Great credit must be given to the crews which made up the International res­ cue squadron. The crew of the Vol­ turno have reported that nearly all of the bulkheads on their vessel re­ mained Intact during the fire except those in the forward holds, which gave way only when the fire centered about them. Had these bulkheads not been in excellent condition the Volturno would have been gutted by fire before the Carmania could have reached her, and before one of the passengers could have escaped with their lives in the terrific gale which was raging when the fire broke out. The moderating of the gale early Fri­ day morning just as the rescue squad­ ron had about abandoned hope of reaching the stern of the Volturno also played a prominent part in mak­ ing the rescue possible."

DEFEND MONEY BILL ADMINISTRATION TAKE8 STAND AGAINST CRITICISM. Wilson Tells Callers Convention Views Do Not Represent the Public Sentiment. Washington, Oct. 11.--New feelings of confidence In the currency reform bill were felt on Thursday following a concerted defense of the measure by Democratic senators who denounced the criticisms of the bill made by bank­ ers at the Boston convention of- the American Bankers' association and against what was alleged to be an or­ ganized effort to hinder its considera­ tion and passage. A senate debate in which the bank­ ers' criticisms came in for sharp an­ swer from friends of the bill on the senate floor found its echo later In the day when President Wilson made plain to callers his own view of the recent developments surrounding the bill. The president let It be known that he did not think the views of the Bos­ ton bankers' convention, as they bore on the currency bill now before the senate, represented the general public sentiment of the country. In the president's view the attacks made on the bill by the Boston conference rep­ resented the. activities of men whom he believed to he acting with sincerity, but who as individuals refused to yield their position of control of the country's financial system. > The expressions in the senate were more emphatic. T think this Boston meeting's obvi­ ous purpose was to work up opposi­ tion to this bill," said Senator Owen, "and either to force the bankers' view or to delay or defeat this bill" JAILS 110 SOURS PRESIDENT HUERTA HAS TROOPS ARREST DEPUTIES WHO DEFY HIM.

Mexico City, Mpx., Oct. 13.--Presi­ dent Huerta had 110 members of the chamber of deputies arrested on Fri­ day and locked in the penitentiary for signing resolutions of warning to him as the result of the disappearance on Thursday night of Dr. Belisaro Do- minguez, senator for Chiapas. Five other deputies vwho signed the resolution were absent when a cordon/ of troops was thrown about the legis­ lative building and several hundred soldiers invaded the chamber. In anticipation of trouble heavy pa­ trols of troops are on the streets. The rapid fire guns which v were posted in the interior courts of 'the palace in February are again in place and quantities of ammunition art at hand. The arrests followed a demand by President Huerta that the chamber withdraw the resolution, which car­ ried a threat that the deputies v^ould abandon the capltol owing to an al­ leged lack of guarantees for their personal safety. Senator Domingues made a speech in the senate early in the month vio­ lently attacking Huerta, saying that not only had nothing been done dur­ ing Huerta's regime toward pacifica­ tion of the country, but that the pres­ ent situation in the republic was in­ finitely worse than before. He said the currency of Mexico had depre­ ciated, fields had been neglected, towns razed, and that famine threat­ ened. He added that the' situation was proof that the Mexican people could not resign themselves to be gov­ erned by Huerta. The senator who thus attacked Huerta disappeared mysteriously at night. Before the hour for the regular open­ ing of the session of the chamber at four o'clock In the afternoon the base­ ment and roof of the building had been packed with troops- When the deputies were In their places the minister of the interior, Manuel Garza Aldape, entered the chamber. Simultaneously several hun­ dred federal troops lined up in front of the building. Senor Aldape ascended the platform and read the reply of President Huer­ ta to the resolution warning him of the deputies' intention to dissolve par­ liament and hold their sessions else­ where and demanding an investiga­ tion of the disappearance Of Senator Dominguez. The reply said that President Huer­ ta could do no less than consider the resolution an act of unjustified ag­ gression and transgression of the rights of the two other powers--the executive and the courts. When the arrests were made a few of the leaders were placed in automo­ biles while the other deputies were taken to the penitentiary in street cars. Meanwhile similar demands to re­ cant had been made on members of the senate who had concurred In the chamber's resolution. A committee of senators called on ^President Huerta and signified their willingness to comply with his de­ mands. Later the senators formally withdrew tills action. McNamaras Bar Visitors.

HIS CAREER WAS JAIIQUE Came to Metropolis Poor Bojr and Won Wealth and Political Fame by Own Effort*--Stricken While Mak­ ing Speech. New York, Oct 14.---Former Lieut. Gov. Timothy L. Woodruff died in his aparments on Sunday. His condition had been critical lor nearly two weeks after having been stricken with paralysis while address­ ing a Progressive party rally in this city., He was fifty-five years old! Mr. Woodruff came of good Connect ticut stock, and arrived in New York in 1880 at the age of twenty-two years with no capital nor prospective back­ ing other than diplomas from Yale and a business college and a clear cut purpose to apply, himself to coiuraeF clal life and watch for opportunities. Seventeen years later he was lieu­ tenant governor of New York, a part­ ner In the house in which he first found employment at eight dollars a week, the head of an Insurance com­ pany and of a patent medicine con­ cern, director in various banking and industrial corporations and a leader in Republican politics. The fortune he had acquired in this period was augmented in later years by the extension of his activities until they Included real estate operations on a large scale, notably the promotion of'the Garden City and Jamaica prop­ erties. His political ambitions also grew, and In 1900 he had the backing of the New York state delegation for the vice-presidential nomination at the Republican national convention, in Philadelphia. Plans to that end brought him in touch with Senator Hanna of Ohio. The current already was running toward Colonel Roosevelt. "Hanna sent for me in Washington," said Woodruff afterwards, in telling the experience, "took me to b|s room, sat down and put his knees' against mine. 'Timothy,' he said, 'I hear that you Will 'be a candidate for vice-presi­ dent.' I told him my friends had sug­ gested it and that my own mind was open. 'You are too young,' he said. 'So far as that goes,"I replied, 'I am three months and twenty-two days older than Governor Roosevelt, and my son is a junior at Yale.' 'Well/ Senator Hanna answered, winking his right eye, 'you look too young.' " ^he ambition that then possessed him never quite subsided. He as­ pired successively to become the party candidate for governor, to go to the United States senate and to enter the cabinet. Through this period he proved an excellent party manager. He had been active in politics from 1885. In 1895 he was appointed park commissioner of Brooklyn and made his administration extremely popular by throwing open the parks at night for the poor. He attended all the party conventions, state and national. He hfid homes in Brooklyn and Gar­ den City, kept apartments in the Rita- Carl ton in Manhattan, and his Kill Kare Kamp of 1,000 acres in the Adi- rondacks was one of the finest estates there. His recreations were driving, automobiling, fishing and shooting, and he belonged to many, social clubs. He was twice married--first to Miss Cora Eastman of Poughkeepsle, by whom he had a son, John, born in 1882. She died In 1900. In 1905 he was married to Miss Isabel Morrison, who survives him.

PIMPLES ALL0VER EACE 1413 E. Genessee Ave., Saginaw, Mich.--"Guticura Soap and Ointment cured me of a very bad disease of the face without leaving a scar.
