Later the wireless apparatus was detroyed; Only part of the call for assistance had been sent when the radio was carried away. The wireless operator was thereafter helpless to summon aid. “Hurry up, we are on fire!” was the extent of the massage that the operator was able to send. When it was seen it would be impossible to check fire boats were launched. The first and second officers, with seventeen men, went in one boat. Thirteen more men took to another boat. Latter was picked up by the Franconia. In this boat was the chief sts ward of the Columbian, who died after he had been taken aboard the Franconia. List of Survivors.

1914 INDIANA CROPS PRGMISEGREAT YIELD Winter Wheat Has Attained a Stand Never Equaled. INDIANAPOLIS, IND.—Crop Conditions throughout Indiana the first few days of May as nearly approach a con dition of perfection, crop experts say, as possible. Reports from every section of the state indicate that winter wheat has attained a stand never before equaled at this time, that the outlook for spring wheat is also bright, while corn prospects were never better and the fruit bids fair to assume bumper proportions. In the last federal crop report Indiana was given a higher grade on winter wheat than it has had in years, and there is every reason to believe that the next crop report will show even greater possibilities. , The floods experienced last spring, to rhe dismay of the farmer, have been absent this season. Abundant mois•‘ure has fallen when and where needed, and as the winter wheat emerged f. cm the winter months with an excellent growth, nothing has happened in Indiana to halt the plant’s advancement. The acreage this season devoted to wheat and corn will net a huge increase compared with former years. It is claimed that there are 3,000,000 acres more wheat land in cultivation in the United States this season than ever before, and Indiana has contributed her proportion to tlie increase. Corn acreage is also to be larger, and corn planting is well under way in several localities, in fact has been about completed in places where more favorable conditions existed, NOTED NEGRO WOMAN DYING Only Colored Nurse in U.
