COMMITTEE INVESTIGATING
THE CONDITION OF UNEM-
Commercial Club Committee
Met Yesterday and decided
to Meet With Committee
Appointed by Council.
Meeting, yesterday afternoon at the
home of Mrs. W. H. Davis, the com
mittee appointed by the Commercial
club to investigate the conditions of
the unemployed, of which Mrs. Davis
is a member, discussed the matter at
length and decided to meet with :ht
city council tonight.
The city council has undertaken
similar work and a committee repre
senting that body has been appoint
ed lo investigate conditions, it is
probable that .both com mil tecs will
work together. Xo official work is
to be done this evening as the old
council nicels and adjourns after sur
rendering the reins of "office to the
new officers. However, it is the plan
to thoroughly discuss the matter be
forehand. To "get the man and the job togeth
er" is the purpose of the Commercial
club and to devise means along that
line J. S. Van Winkle, president of
the club, named the committee con
sisting qf L. 11. Hamilton, J. A. How
ard, Mrs. J. K. Weathertord, Mrs. W.
M. Davis. P. D. Gilbert, inavor of Al
bany; Alfred C. Sch mitt and Henry
Lyons.
The committees probably will ar
range a free employment bureau and
take other means of finding work for
those who want it. Its efforts will be
limited, however, to residents of Al
bany and it does not expect in any
sense to care for trainsient and hobos
in that respect- The Commercial club
believes that every city must handle
its own problem in that regard.

OFF SANDY HOOK
Wireless Calls for Help Bring
Seven Vessels to Scene;
Only a Few Saved.
BOAT BREAKS IN TWO;
ONLY ONE-HALF SINKS
Ship Had Crew of Nearly Forty
Men; High Waves Prevent
Quick Action.
(By United Press Association.)
Xew York, Jan. 5. That the Ante
ican tank steamship Oklahoma sunk
m a storm olt isandv JriooK was re
ported by wireless from the Ham
;:tiry American iiuer Bavaria, which
rescued the Oklahoma's captain, Al
tired Giic.uer and seven members of
the crew. It is believed the rest
u!o:trd, numbering 3d, perished.
It is considered certain that it was
the Oklahoma which was reported by
the Spanish liner Manuel Calvo last
night in distress off Sandy Hook,
i'he Bavaria was bound from Phila
delphia to Boston but it is thought
it might have put into port to land
the survivors. The J. M. Gutty Pe
troleum company owned the Oklaho
ma, which sailed from here Saturday
for Port Arthur, Texas.
Seven Boats at Hand.
Seven steamships stood by barely
a cable's length away but powerless
lo aid, when the Oklahoma sank, lie
fore the eyes of the lookouts on the
craft which surrounded it, the doomed
vessel broke in two. One part sunk
like lead, and all on board perished.
By a miracle the fore part floated
and clinging fast to it, were eight
men, and these were rescued. The
Oklahoma became distressed late Sun
day and sent out wireless calls for
aid. The Calvo was the first to re
spond. The Calvo also sent out calls
for help. Soon there were seven ves
sels on the scene. Sunday night the
Oklahoma lay wallowing helplessly
it sea, while about it circled the Cal
vo. the liner Bavaria, the liner Cari-b-bean,
the freighter Georgia, and rev
enue cutters Seneca, Onondaga and
Gresham. The ships all made at
tempts to launch life boats but in the
violent gale they were smaslhcd
against the big ship's sides. At dawn
the sea grew quieter. Then it was
seen that but part of the Oklahoma
remained afloat. A small group of
men still remained on the remaining
fragment of the deck, and at eigni
o'clock they were reached by a boat
from the Bavaria and rescued, but
the stern of the vessel disappeared
with 32 men.
