STEAMER IS BADLY DAMAGED . t.- .. Hole Twenty Feet Tong. and , Six. Feet High Is Torn InHer Plates, and She Puts Back to New Yorf or Repairs'. NEW XORK, Nov. 23. Fourteen hun dred Italian steerage- passengers, re turning to Italy on the Veloce lino steamship Nord America, were thrown into excitement today when the ship was rammed by a New York, New Haven & Hartford Railroad float in the harbor off Liberty Island. The float struck the steamship about 40 feet Irom the stern and two feet above the -water line, tearing a hole 20 feet long and six Xeet high .in her plates, and making it impossible for the vessel to continue her voyage without extensive repairs. At the moment of the'.collislon many of the steerage passengers were on the side of the ship toward the approaching float. "When the crash came and the Nord America heeled over alarmingly, many of the passengers were greatly frightened and the crew had much dif ficulty in reassuring them. When the collision occurred the Nord America was going down the up per bay with a full head of steam. She had left her pier at the foot of West Thirty-fourth street at 1:15 o'clock. As she was passing the "Statue of "Liberty Captain Haffo saw on his starboard bow the heavy steel float with a dozen freight cars aboard coming di rectly toward him. According to Captain Ratio's state ment, he thought the captain of the float intended to pass under his stern and kept on his course, but the float came on at full speed and struck the steamship. After the Nord America gained an even keel, and the passengers were quieted, the vessel returned to her pier. The float, which had apparently Buffered 1ut little In the collision, con tinued on Its. course. -' The Nord America will have to be docked nnd repaired, and cannot re sume her trip for some time.

The story of the first Thanksgiving Day was told yesterday in the children's room at the Portland -Library, Miss Hassler holding the attention of a crowded room ful of little people. Pictures of Pilgrims and Puritans, harvest fruits and a big poster turkey brightened the walls In ap propriate fashion. "The Puritans worked very hard planting their crops, building their log houses, catching fish and hunt ing game to keep their families from starving. The summer of 1621 was so dry that they feared their .crops would all die from lack of rain. A day of. fasting and prayer, was followed by such gentle show ers that the whole land was refreshed and" In good season a plentiful harvest was reaped. Then the Puritans set apart a- second day but this was. for feasting and thanksgiving. Their good friend, Mas- sasolt, and a company of his chosen war riors, were Invited to Join in their sol emn religious service and the feasting that followed. They had no mutton nor pig .to roast, and fco apples nor bther milt, so they had wild turkeys, pumpkin pies .and wild cranberries for sauce. Since "then Thanksgiving Day has been cele brated almost every year in New England and for' many years In many states in the Union." . Passed Bogus Check. The police -were notified last night by F.

SURE I T WAS M U R D ER Experts declare YoungfCouId Not Have Killed Himself. PHYSICIANS. ON THE STAND Cabman Testifies He Saw Dead Book maker Abuse Nan Patterson, and Newsboy Tells of Fuss She Had With Brother-ln-Law. NEW YORK, Nov. 23. In the trial of Nan Patterson, charged with the murder of Caesar Young, the expert testimony of physicians was offered today to show that Young could not have killed himself. Two cabmen testified to having seen Young abuse Miss Patterson early in the morning or June 4. and another witness. a newsboy, swore that he saw J. Morgan bmita, ner brother-in-law, strike Miss Patterson in the face on the nltrht of June 2. after Smith had said to her: "You will have to-Jo It," and she . answered, "I won't" The cross-examination of Coroner's Phv- sician O'Hanlon was continued. The wit ness described In detail the autopsy which ho performed on Young's body, and ad mitted at that time he thought the case one of suicide. This was stricken from the record, however. He was not permit ted to say whether the black marks on the bits of skin which he stripped from Young's finger were made by gunpowder, or whether he found powder marks when he examined Miss Patterson s hands soon after the shooting. The trial still attracts unusually large crowds, and special details of police are required to keep out those who have no business In the courtroom and to maintain order In the building. Tne mother-in-law of Foreman of the Jury Hendricks, whose Illness threatened to delay the trial, died today. As It al ready had been arranged to adjourn the court, at the close of tonight's session un til Saturday, Mr. Hendricks will have an opportunity to attend the funeral. Actress' Attorney Not Discouraged. Abraham Levy, attorney for the actress, today declared that although the prosecu tion has erected several strong barriers through which the defense will have to batter its way to secure the acquittal of Miss Patterson, he has no fear that they would not succeed. He asserted they would bring forward a witness who would tell a convincing story of having actually seen the shooting, no matter how strong the evidence of the prosecution to the effect that no one was within range of vision of the cab when the fatal shot was fired. This witness was a passenger on a street-car passing across West Broadway, a snort distance from, tne scene of the tragedy, he said, and In his narrative he will swear from where he stood, though his glance was hut momentary, he saw Nan Patterson's companion In the cab grasping a revolver In his hand and struggling with the young woman, who was endeavoring to wrest it from him. The skeleton which was brought Into the case yesterday for the use of Coroner's Physician O'Hanlon, In describing the course of the bullet which caused Young's death, was again brought Into the court room when the trial was resumed today. The ghastly exhibit was suspended near the witness stand, when Mr. Levy, for the defense, continued the cross-examination of the Coroner's Physician, which was In terrupted by the adjournment of court yesterday afternoon. John Crowley, a cabman, said he was hailed by two men and a woman about 4 o'clock on the morning of June 4, while his cab was standing at the corner of Eighth avenue and 123th street. The wom an was the defendant in this case, and one' of the men was Caesar Young. Young had abused Miss Patterson, the witness said, and she was crying. Young ordered him to drive the woman to her home, and he did so. On the way down town, he watched the occupants of the cab through the trap In the top of the hansom, and she continued crying all the way down to Fifty-first street, where sho left the cab. He said Young and the man with him were Intoxicated but Miss Patterson was not. Quarrel With Her Brother-in-Law. The scene between Nan Patterson and her brother-in-law. J. Morgan Smith, which was referred to at length by Mr. Rand in his opening argument, was de scribed by Joseph Hewitt, a newsboy. He said he was standing In front of a cafe at Fifty-ninth street and Eighth avenue, about 9 o'clock on the night of June 2, when Smith and Miss Patterson came out and got into a cab. They were quar reling, and as they got Into the cab Smith struck Miss Patterson In the face. "What did the man say?" asked Mr. Levy. "He said, "You'll have to do it " an swered the newsboy. "And what did she say?" ' 'I won't,'- and then he struck her and pushed her Into the cab. The witness said he remembered the in cident distinctly, and was positive In his Identification of Miss Patterson and the photograph of J. Morgan Smith. He had noticed the couple particularly, he said. "There Is always a little quarreling going around the circle, and I keep my eyes open to see the fun," the newsboy explained. Police Captain Sweeney was recalled to to Identify a photograph of Smith and to testify that he had summoned Smith to appear before the grand Jury, and that he had failed to appear. He said he procured a process against Smith, June 3, but he still had it. having been unable to servo it. A warrant calling for Smith's arrest for contempt of court was then read .and marked for identification. Court adjourned until Saturday morning at 10:30. BULLET WAS FOR ANOTHER. Murder of Chauffeur Now Ascribed "to a linion Labor Conspiracy. CHICAGO. Nov. 23. A labor Tinlon conspiracy is the -latest explanation of the automobile tragedy near Lemoht, 111. According to this theory, John W. Bate, Jr., the young chaffeur, must have received a bullet Intended for Edward Archer, a vital witness for the prosecu tion in a criminal case involving a num ber of Chicago labor union officials. Archer was an employe of the same automobile company for which Bate, worked." It Is a singular fact that Ar cher and Bate were the only two chauf leurs on duty when -the automobile was hired hy telephone for "Mr. Dove," the supposed murderer. Only a moment before Archer was alone, and It was he who received the original commission .to accompany "Dove." A sudden 1m- -pulse or presentiment of danger led Archer to turn the work over to Ba$e. Archer has for months believed him self in danger sincfJJie gave testimony in the case of an alleged professional slugger who was charged with attack ing nonunion electrical workers and who was freed "by a change of court records. The alteration of the records was discovered and led to the convlc tlon of a Court Clerk and several of flclals of labor unions on a charge of conspiracy. Arcners attorney was today so .strongly Impressed with the probability of the labor union conspiracy explana tlon of the tragedy that he laid all the facts before the State's Attorney. A partial substantiation ef the theory is the fact that "Dove, is said V have .avowed hlraself an electrician, while explaining his identity during an at tempt to hire & liorse and buggy la Joliet the day after-the tragedy. Harry Barker, arrested last night as a suspect, was released today. Barker, who was arrested at Channahon, a village southwest of Joliet, proved to be an Itin erant piano tuner. HE MAY BE "DOVE." Farmers and Officers Run Down Man Answering His Description. a CHICAGO, Nov. 23. A man giving, the name of George Weeks, and who answers the description of the mysterious "Dove" for whom the-pollce of four counties have been searching since last Saturday as the possible -murderer of John W. Bate at Le mont, was arrested tonight at Kinsman, a small town 50 miles southwest of Joliet - The man was arrested after a chase by a posse of farmers and officers irom the village of Kinsman. He was taken to the town of Ransom and detectives who have been working on the case were-sent for. He denied all knowledge of the murder of Bate, but acted in a strange manner. 1 Officials 'Found Guilty of Fraud. PITTSBURG, Nov. 23.

Boatrace This Afternoon -Vice-consul Will investigate the Case. While Frank Griffith, apprentice from", the British ship Castellan, was lying on what may prove to be his deathbed Woodburn physicians refused to. attend him until the City . Marshal: could com municate by long-distance telephone with. British Vice-Consul Laldlaw at Portland. The young man was sandbagged, presum ably by hobos. In the yards of the South ern Pacific Railway some time last night, and his skull fractured. -He may .die.' Bobery. It is presumed, was the motive," of the assault, for when the apprentice was found by the City Marshal, about midnight, he had been stripped of every cent he possessed. The young man was quickly removed to. a home-in Woodburn by the City Mar shal and some friends, and calls made on local physicians. According to. statements made to Captain- of Police Moore last night by tho Marshal of Woodburn. the physicians refused to take the case until he could communicate with the British Vice-Consul here. It was after midnight when Captain Moore received the telephone message from the City Marshal of Woodburn. At that hour It was Impossible for.Ylce-Con-sul Laldlaw to be reached excepting by a cdll at his residence. A long-distance message was sent film, but ITwas not un til 4 o'clock this morning that the City Marshal at Woodburn was able to get a physician to attend the Injured British subject. Apprentice Griffith was lying on the ground Just beside the tracks at the yard limits when found by the City Marshal. He was unconscious. Questions addressed to him by the officer failed to bring a re ply, and a close examination of the pros trate form revealed the fact that he had been sandbagged, or hit with some Instru ment that had not only rendered him senseless, but left him in what was be lieved to be a dying condition. A quick Investigation by the City Marshal also developed the fact that all of the victim's pocket3 had been turned Inside out and not a thing of valve was found jjn him. It was thought At once that it was a case of robbery. As soon as the City Marshal could get his charge to a place of safety and comparative comfort, he made a hasty search of the railroad yards and of the entire city, but failed to" find any sus picious characters. This Issupposed to be due to the fact that a freight train had just pulled out for the south be fore the Marshal found the man. It Is thought the perpetrators of the deed boarded the train and left the scene of their crime. How much money they se cured will not be known until their victim is able to tell, if he ever is able. Telegraphic dispatches were sent from Woodburn to all of the stations along the Southern Pacific Railroad and It Is hoped that the men who com mitted the deed will be captured, al though it Is feared they will make their escape because of the lateness of the hour and the fact that they are not known, even by a general description. Apprentice Griffith was but 19 years of age.' He was an expert oarsman, and was to have returned to Portland last "night to take part In the rowing con test on the river here today, In which several nations men will take part. The British oarsmen depended largely upon the young and stalwart fellow to help them win. Griffith went up the valley on a brief visit, and was to have been back on board his ship last night. However, his absence did not cause any alarm, as It was supposed he would be here bright and early this morning. H0N0KED IRISH HAETYRS. Empire Theater Crowded Last Night, and Good Programme Rendered.
