GIVE OMAHA LOW GRAIN RATE

CHICAGO After considerable op
position western traffic men on Mon
day consented to allow Omaha a dif
ferential of 4 cents above Kansas
City on a proportional through rate
from that city to tie Gulf to apply
on grain
The rate it is said will be taken
but on May 15 and permits wheat to
move from Omaha to the gulf for 21
cents and corn for 20 Lines Ibat
were promoting the rate insisted that
it had become necessary to clear out
Omaha which is said to be glutted
with grain The Nebraska lines were
against the proposition presumably
because they preferred to carry he
grain east to Chicago

MAST GOES DOWN
Heavy Squall Dismantles the Sham
rock
WEYMOUTH The mlsfortunea
which seem to have pursued Sham
rock III culminated Friday in a gust
of wind which dismasted it and leaves
the beautiful challenger lying a help
less wreck in Portland harbor The
accident will necessitate a delay of
certainly a month and probably of six
weeks in the challengers sailing for
America but Sir Thomas Lipton said
that the accident would not be al
lowed to interfere with its presence
in New York in time for the cup
races
The yacht was caught in a squall
shortly after leaving the harbor on a
trial spin The mast was carried over
board together with several of the
crew and all the gear and canvas
One man was drowned and several
persons including Sir Thomas who
was knocked down a hatchway were
bruised or otherwise injured The
man who was drowned was a brother-in-law
cf Captain Wringe He was
handing a biocular glass to Sir Thom
as at the time he was swept over
board The yachts were maneuver
vering in the roadstead under main
sails jibs foresails and gaff topsails
prior to the start
Before the start Sir Thomas Lip
ton Ratsey the sailmaker and Colo
nel Sherman Crawford vice commo
dore of the Royal Ulster Yacht club
boarded the challenger which made
a magnificent picture as under a
cloud of canvas it drove past North
Head
Erin had taken up a position to
send the boats awav round a triangu
lar course and everything seemed to
promise a fine race Shamrock III
then made a short board on the port
tack dragging through a heavy squall
with its lee decks awash
At about 1040 a m when nearly
a mile off shore it went about on
the starboard tack to stand up to
cross the line when a sudden gust of
wind sweeping out of Weymouth bay
struck the yacht and completely dis
mantled it The weather rigging
screws of the main shrouds and mast
were carried away close to the deck
and with it went the spars sails and
gearing in a confused mass of wreck
age
The yachts decks were crowded
with Sir Thomas Liptons guests of
ficers and men and it seemed a mir
acle that the disaster was not attend
ed by serious loss of life Deprived
of its chief support the immense
steel tubular mast swayed for a frac
tion of a second and went overboard
creating general havoc as it fell
