FIVE LOST FROMCUNARD LINER

GREAT SEAS SWEEP OVEROCEAN STEAMER

Besides Those Washed Overboard,

More Than Thirty Persons In

the Steerage Are Injured

by the Waves

Many steerage passengers uponlanding today fell upon their knees andoffered prayers of thanksgiving overtheir safe arrival.

Although some of the passengersthought that the Campania shouldhave stopped in an attempt to Bavethose who were washed overboard, theofficers say that this was practicallyan Impossibility. Both passengersand officers say that the waves inWednesday afternoon's gale were th>highest they had ever seen. At tlmrs*they broke as high as the top of thesmoke stacks. An hour before theaccident a second officer on the brldjrewas struck by the descending crest ofa wave, knocked down and renderedunconscious.

Wednesday's disaster marks thefirst time in the Cunard line's historyof more than sixty years that a pas-senger has been lost from one of Itssteamers by accident.

First Passenger Lost by Accident

From the steerage passengers It waslearned that the lives of several chil-dren w«re saved by a stewardess,Miss Cotes, and a deck steward. Thelittle oneß weivs playing about thedeck when they were caught In theswim of water and carried about theaft with the others. On the returnrush "of the wave the children werebeing carried directly toward the opendoor through which the five who losttheir lives had been carried, whenMiss Cotes and the steward rushed totheir rescue and dragged them back tosafety.

When the wave cleared the vessel,

the forward part of the deck wasstrewn with injured and for hours Dr.Varden, the ship's surgeon, aided bya number of physiclanß among thecabin passengers, was busy Inattend-ing to their hurts'. In the meantimean Inspection of the steerage wasmade by the ship's officers and It waslearned that five of the passengerswere missing. No further confirma-tion regarding the Inspection was givenout.

many of them received severe Injuries.One young woman had both legs

broken at the thigh, and several per-sons Buffered broken arms and ribs,

while more than a score were bruisedand battered.

Fawcett Robinson

Surrounded by a mob of nearly ahundred angry men, Special OfficerArlngton for nearly twenty minutesfought off the attacks

'of the crowd

single-handed and held prisoner a mannearly twice as large as himself lastevening at Fifth and Central avenue.Again and again the officer blew hiswhistle, and when at last help arrivedit was all that three officers could doto restrain the furious. mob from tear-ing the little negro special limb fromlimb.

Several times before assistance ar-rived Arington was knocked down

and once his revolver and handcuffswere pulled from his pockets and tossedmany feet away, but a sympathizerrestored them to him. After Arlngtonhad handcuffed his prisoner, Peter Pe-terson, two special officers respondedto the repeated calls for help and afew minutes later a patrol loaded withpolice arrived on the scene and dis-persed the mob.

Arington became involved in troublewhen he attempted to arrest Peterson,•who was fighting with a smaller man.Looking around, Peterson with an oathrushed on Arlngton, who evaded hisblows and attempted to mison withhim. Arlngton had been told thntPeterson attacked the chauffeur of anautomobile who refused to give Peter-son a drink.

Peterson and other ice handlers andmen In that vicinity took up the cryof "Kill the nigger," and as the spe-

cial grappled with his husky opponenthe was pulled backward by the collar.Peterson fled to a street car whichwas passing and boarded It. Arlng-ton freed himself and followed him.Peterson was ejected from the car by

the crew and Arlngton collared him.

Three shots, supposed to have beenfired at Arlngton, attracted the atten-tion of several special officers some dis-tance away, and when they arrived onthe scene they found Peterson inironsand Arlngton holding the mob at baywith a revolver. Despite the effortsof the specials the assembled crowdsurged about the negro and his pris-oner, threatening to lynch the officer.

When reinforcements arrived fromthe central station the crowd dispersed,

but after the officers had left smallgroups of men gathered about andmade dire threats against Arlngton.The general sentiment was: "If anynegro policeman comes down here hewill not live long."

Power of Seas IrresistibleThe Irresistible rush of waters, sweep-

ing toward the forward part of theship, carried everything before It.Net-tings, heavy railings and other ob-structions which had been arranged

near the railings to prevent passen-gers being washed overboard, servedtheir purpose only In part.

So great was the volume and forceof the rushing waters that a door inthe rail was smashed, and through thisopening, five of the helpless ones whohad been caught by the wave, wereswept to their death. Others dashedagainst the rails and other like ob-structions and toscaped death, but

The Campania was plowingalong un-der full headway last Wednesday aft-ernoon. A heavy quartering sea wasrunning, but the weather conditionswere far from unpleasant and the bigboat's decks were crowded with pas-Bengers. The steerage deck was cov-ered with merry-makers and there wasnothing to indicate the approaching dis-aster, when suddenly the big steamerlurched to port and scooped up an enor-mous sea. 1The wave boarded thesteamer about mldshJp on the portside and swept clear across the steer-age deck, completely filling the spacebetween that deck and the deck aboveand carrying -everything with it. Thesteamer's side was buried and pas-sengers on the deck above the steeragewere submerged to their waists as theimmense volume of water rolled aft

and then surged forward. All the cabinpassengers on the upper deck succeed-ed In clinging to supports while thewaters surged around them and weresaved, but the unfortunates In thesteerage deck found themselves ut-terly helpless.

John Graham, of Milwaukee was oneof the passengers washed overboardand lost. He was traveling in the steer-age. The others who ai

-e known to

have lost their lives were MargaretCleary, Mary Cosgrove, Niels Ekbergand Elizabeth Grunadotter.

NEW YORK, Oct. 14.—Five lives areknown to have been lost and more thanthirty persons Injured, one fatally andsome of them seriously, on the Cunardline steamer Campania last Wednes-day, when a gigantic wave rolled overthe steamer and swept across a deckthick with steerage passengers. So sud-den wqh the coming of the disaster andso great the confusion which attendedand followed it that even the officersof the steamer themselves were unabletoday upon the vessel's arrival here toestimate the full extent of the trag-edy. Itis possible that the five personsknown to be missing from the steeragemay not constitute the full number ofdead. When the Campania reachedquarantine today ten of the Injuredpassengers were still in the ship hos-pital, some of them seriously hurt anda score of others were nursing minorInjuries.

tle girl of 4 years, was dying at GreenMeadows. News of the child's condi-tion was kept from the father.

A theory of suicide was advancedlate last evening by the police at workon the case. It was learned that Sack-ett had lost his insurance policy andbeing in nearly destitute condition it isthought possible that he attempted tokill himself, no knowing that he couldhave it renewed. Mrs. Sackett, whenher husband confided to her the factthat he had lost his policy, was thrownInto nearly a hystericnl condition. Sheacknowledged that their financial con-dition was very bad.

While Sackett lay dying at the re-ceiving hospital it was learned throughhis wife that hla youngest child, a lit-

Blinded by the brilliantheadlight of aSan Pedro interurban car, D. L. Sack-ett, a laborer residing at Green Mead-ows, walked

'in front of the swiftly

moving car a half mile from the sta-tion last evening about 8 o'clock andsustained injuries from which he diedat 2 o'clock this morning.

With a wild scream Sackett threwup his hands as the car struck him,

and was hurled many feet to the rightof the track. \u25a0 \u25a0 \u25a0 < \u25a0

Horrifiedpassengers clambered out ofthe car and found Sackett lyingIn theweeds several feet behind where the

car stopped. The limp form of the dy-ing man was picked up and takenaboard the car and brought to LosAngeles. After an examination Dr.Quint found that Sackett could notlive. The bumper of the car struckthe man in the abdomen and the pel-

vic cavity, crushing the bones andmangling the flesh.

Passengers on the car say that Sack-

ett deliberately walked in front ofthe car. The motprman had no oppor-tunity, they say, to apply the air Intime to stop the car. As Sackett steppedbetween the rails he realized in aninstant that he was about to be struckand with a piercing scream reeled andwould have fallen If the car had notcaught him and tossed him to one side.

After remaining at the receiving

hospital for several hours Snckett re-gained consciousness enough to callfor his wife and children. Efforts weremade to learn his version of the affair,

but he had only a hazy recollection ofthe accident. Late lust evening Mrs.Sackett arrived inLos Angeles and im-mediately went to the receiving hospi-tal. She held a short conversation withher husband, but he r.oon relapsed intounconsciousness.

ST. LOUIS.' Oct. 14.—1n an address before the Y. M. C. A. on "The Manfor the Twentieth Century," Rev. Dr. Ira Landrlth of Nashville, Term., saidinpart:

"A man must be well physically to succeed. The twentieth century Isstrenuous, full of temptations; It is a century of enthusiasm and enlighten-ment. Every man must be well enough, wise enough and good enough to ac-cept the invitations of opportunity. To fall In this century Is the unpardona-ble-sin, and It.Is a disgrace to be physically incapable of grasping op-portunities.

"Decay physically is certain to be accompanied by moral decay. Weshould build our bodies to stand a life of earnest, profitable living. Iwouldbe ashamed to show my face Inheaven under the age of 70.

"Besides being well, a man must be a man. The wicked no more thanthe weak can keep up withthe procession. .

"In behalf of their own Interests, the great corporations, of the presentday forbid.even mild drinking on the part of their employes. Young menought to succeed lf they willtake the chances that are offered them. Theouestlon is not how to get ahead, but how to get a Job.

What Sulphur DoesFor the Human Body in Health and

DiseaseThe mention of sulphur willrecall to

many of us the early days when ourmothers and grandmothers gave us ourdaily dose of sulphur and molasses ev-ery spring and fall.It was the universal spring and fall

"blood purifier," tonic and cure-all,and mind you, this old-fashioned rem-edy was not without merit.

The Idea was good, but the remedywas crude and unpalatable, and alarge quantity had to be taken to getany effect.

Nowadays we get all the beneficialeffects of sulphur in a palatable, con-centrated form, so that a single grainIs far more effective than a tablespoon-ful of the crude sulphur.

In recent years, research and experi-ment have proven that the best rul-phur for medicinal use is that obtainedfrom Calcium (Calcium Sulphide) andsold in drug stores under the name ofStuart's Calcium Wafers. .They aresmall chocolate coated pellets and con-tain the active medicinal principle ofsulphur In a highly concentrated, ef-fective form. .

Few people are aware of the valueof this form of sulphur In restoringand maintaining bodily vigor andhealth: sulphur acts directly on theliver and excretory organs and •purifiesand enriches the blood by the promptelimination of waste material.pur grandmothers knew this whenthey dosed us with sulphur and mo-lasses every spring and fall, but thecrudity and impurity of ordinary flow-ers of sulphur were often worse thanthe disease, and cannot compare withthe modern concentrated preparationsof sulphur, of which Stuart's CalciumWafers is undoubtedly the best andmost widely used.

They are the natural antidote for liverand kidney troubles and cure constip-ation and purify the blood In a waythat often surprises patient and physi-cian alike.

Dr. R. M. Wilkins while experiment-Ing with sulphur remedies soon foundthat the sulphur from Calcium wassuperior to any other form. He says:"For liver, kidney and blood troubles,especially when resulting from constip-ation or malaria, Ihave been surprisedat the results obtained from Stuart'sCalcium Wafers. Inpatients sufferingfrom bolls and pimples and even deep-seated carbuncles, Ihave repeatedlyBeen them dry up and disappear in fouror five days, leaving the skin clear andsmooth. Although Stuart's .CalciumWafers is a proprietary article andsold by druggists, and for that rensontabooed by many physicians, yet Iknow of nothing so safe and reliablefor constipation, liver and kidney(roubles and especially In all forms ofBkln disease as this remedy." ;

At any rate people who aretir«l ofpills, cathartics and so-called blood"purifiers,", will flnfl In.Stuart's Cal-cium Wafers a far safer, more iialata-ble and effective preparation. ,
