HIGH PRAISE FOR
LINER'SJAPTAIN
Passengers on the New York
Unite ip Commendation. Used
Barrel Staves to Pry Off Fat
Men.
New York. —In view of statements
that the steamship Pretoria was off
her course when she rg.rr.med the liner
New York, early .Saturday, the Ham
burg-Amerlcan lire today sent a mes
sage to Capt Dugge, of the Pretoria,
asking him to wireless his position at
the time of the crash. The Pretoria
Is bound for Hamburg, wher? she is
due June 24
The Hamburg-Amerlean Line gave
out today a paraphrase of a wireleau
message received from Dugge It sheds
no light on the cause of the crash, but
states that only a few of the Pre
toria's plates were bent and that there
was no danger for passengers, ship or
cargo.
To Sail on Time.
New York.—A force of 200 shipwrights,
riveter* and plate fitters began today to
repair the damaged portbow of the Am
erican liner New York and It was an
nounced that the ship would be ready to
leave on her regular scheduled time next
Friday morning
A survey of the damaged New York
soon after she reached her pier yester
day disclosed no breaks resulting from
her collision with tbs Pretoria, Saturday
morning that would necessitate sending
her to dry dock. The hole made by
tlie Pretoria is about 32 feet long and 15
feet deep. The work of the repair fores
today was to remove the anchor of th*
Pretoria, left in the rent when she back
d away after the Impact.
Change In Lanes.
A recent change In the steamship lanes
may have been responsible for the col
lision, Captain Roberts In a statement
said there was a difference of about 25
miles between the old and new eastward
lanes and that the Pretoria was pursu
ing the old lsne Instead of the new. the
former being the same as the new west
ward lane, which the New A’ork was
correctly following at the t'me.
zThn cabin passengers are unanimous
In their praise of Captain Roberts and
Ms crew. That there was no panic was
due to the warnings sounded by tile
stewards that there was no danger. De
spite this fact there were many pas
sengers who rushed tifr life preservers
and life boats were ready to launch
should they be needed.
Amusing Incident*.
There was the usual scramble to decks
of scantily clad passengers and many
amusing Incidents are related today. Two
fat men who bad strapped on life pre
servers rushed for the deck only to be
come wedged in the doors of the cabins.
Their calls for help brought a woman
passenger who notified the baker and
his mate of their plight. They were
released with barrel staves used as
levers. ... . „
One passenger. Ben E Smith, of New
York tells of conversing with a pas
senger aboard the Pretoria, so close were
the vessels. MV. Smith said that he
was able to get hold of a hinge on one
of the Pretoria's gates and could easily
have ellmed aboard her.

Eye Glasses Should Go
Says New York Physician
Here Is His Free Prescription
"Many who wear glasses could dis
pense with them. Only ordinary care Is
necessary. The eyes of old and young
should be properly bathed night and
morning. This Is more Important than
cleansing teeth" says he and then he
goes on to say:
“The following treatment Is worthy of
fullest confidence. It Is scientific. Im
mediately effective and positively hsrm
leas to the weakest of eyes. Go to an,
drug store, get a tube of Optona tablets,
dissolve one In a two-ounce hottle o!
pure rvnter and b3the the eves two to
four tunes dally. What Is goner Un
known as eye strain will soon be banish
ed while the muscles nnd nerves are
permitted to perform thetr normal func-
I tions. It helps I'iseased evea and It
keeps good e\cs healthy; It Is absolutely
harmless in every way; does not smart
or hum, has a wonderful effect on gran
ulated ltd* and Is especially recommend
ed for dull, bleary or glassy eyes II
heir* all eyes and shoo'd he in every
heme for use in emergency.”
The following extracts are from letters
received from users of this prescription:
’’l used Optona on* week for a cold
In my eyes; It did mo a great deal
of good.”
My eyes have been failing sos
years. 1 am sure Optona is doing
them good and shall continue Its
use.”
"Have only been using Optona a
short time My eyes are Improving
wonderfully.”
"I find Optona very satisfactory
and recommend tt wherever I find an
opportunity. 1 find tt very tooth
ing."
'T've heen benefited by Optona and
intend to follow the treatment.”
"Hava been using Optona for about
three months and tt has greatly im
proved my sight."
"My eyes have been sore for sev
