' Other sessions by this time would be bustling with activity, ac-tivity, committees would be busy and the clang of battle would be resounding on the floors. But this session has got started with one yawn after another. This is due to two reasons: j First the administration is sit- j ting firmly on the lid of all legis- lauon so as to give the right of ; way to its program, which is be- i ing doled out piece-meal. j Second, this congress is the j first in its 148-year old history' that it has convened fresh from j the doIIs.

Mohawk was ripped apart in a collision and sank in zero weather last night off the New Jersey coast. The Mohawk was rammed at 9:30 p. m. by the S. S. Talisman, about four miles off Sea Girt, and sank before midnight after Capt. J. E. Wood had ordered the 55 passengers and 110 crew to take to the lifeboats. May Be Lost Most of the boats got away in a running sea, but this morning' only 39 passengers and 78 of the crew had been accounted for. Coast guards found two empty lifeboats tossing in the sea, causfe- ing fears that those who are missing miss-ing may have lost their lives. The SOS call from the Mohawk first reporting the collision cause of which remains uncertain sent coast guard vessels out from the New Jersey shore and brought the S. S. Algonquin and the S. S. Limon to the scene of the disaster. The Talisman struck the Mohawk Mo-hawk amidships and apparently tore her apart. Water rushed in to the holds of the 8,140-ton vessel ves-sel and within a short time it was obvious that she was doomed. Captain Wood tried to beach her, but the tragedy moved too swift- iy- . Lower Life Boats Still several miles from shore, he ordered the lifeboats lowered and passengers were taken off. i Continued on Page Eight) CREW PRAISED BY SURVIVORS NEW YORK, Jan. 25 iUl Heroism, calmness and "100 per cent efficiency" marked the conduct con-duct of officers and seamen aboard the S.
