® [WO SCORE DROWNED ' ITEAMER DIX SUNK IN A COLLI- SION OFF THE COAST OF WASHINGTON STATE. JANY 60 DOWN WITH THE VESSEL PASSENGERS AND CREW OF DAM- AGED SHIP HAD NO TIME TO LOWER BOATS. Seattle, Wash., Nov. 20.—The steam- e Dix, Captain Lormon, bound from Beattle to Port Blakeley with passen- pers, sank two miles north of Alki point after having collided with the steamship Jeanie, Captain P. H. Ma- lon, of the Alaska Coast company. Forty-one passengers and members > the crew of the Dix are missing and thirty-nine were saved. The Dix Is a total wreck. The Jeanie was not Injured in the least and no member of her crew was lost. The master of the Dix was saved. The collision occur- red while the sound was almost.as smooth as a mill pond and after the boats had been steaming within sight of each other for a quarter of an hour. The Jeanie was backing when she tollided with the Dix and the impact was very slight. The Dix was struck Abaft of amidships on the starboard side. She listed heavily to port for n brief period, righted herself, then pank stern first. There was hardly time to launch liferafts or boats be- fore she was almost entirely sub- mmerged. Passengers jumped from the decks into the water, women scream- ed and officers and men called orders that could hardly be heard above the din. The passengers from the Dix who could swim made their way to the sides of the Jeanie and were dragged aboard. The Jeanie was not moved until after all who had reach- ed her had been hauled aboard. Then she cruised about, picking up several who had managed to stay above wa- ter. It was three hours before the Jeanie left the scene of the catas- trophe and steamed to the Virginia street dock, Seattle, with the thirty- nine survivors. 8tory of the Collision. The Jeanie had finished unloading at the Great Northern docks at Smiths cove and had started for Tacoma just about the same time the Dix left the Flyer dock for Port Blakeley. There were no passengers on the Jeanle. The Dix was making the last trip of the night and was well filled with passengers. ‘When within about two miles north of Alki point the two steamers were within short distance of each other, steaming along converging lines. The captain of the Jeanie says he signalled for the Dix to pass him and his whis- tle was answered. The Dix was then within speaking distance of the Jeanie and to the port. Suddenly Mate Den- nison, who was at the wheel of the Dix, put her hard over to starboard as if to cross in front of the other ves- sel. Captain Mason of the Jeanie, who was on the bridge, saw that an accident was imminent and called out a warning to the man at the wheel of the Dix. Captain Mason gave the signal to reverse his engines and his vessel was slowly backing away when the two came together. There was but a slight crash, the force of the collision from the Dix coming against the side of the larger vessel and not that of the heavier craft against the smaller. For a minute all was still, then a panic followed. When the Dix start- ed to sink, stern first, passengers and members of the crew leaped into the sound. Some of the passengers hud- dled together in groups on the deck while others knelt in prayer. The women, who had little chance for their lives, stayed with the sink- ing steamer and were drowned as in a trap. FORGERY AND CONSPIRACY. Pennsyivania Politician Given Term in Penitentiary, Wilkesbarre, Pa., Nov. 20.—Am- brose Reese, justice of the peace of Parsonsborough and for twenty-five years prominent in politics and mer- cantile affairs, pleaded gullty to for- gery and conspiracy in the criminal court before Judge Halsey and was sentenced to four years’ imprisonment in the penitentiary.

Dr. Algeron S. Crapsey of St. Andrew’s €piseopal church, Rochester, is con- iemned to suspension from the church 1s a result of the decision of the eccle- lastical court of review. The court ¥ reviews sustains the decision of the bwer court, which was that Dr. Crap- ley should be suspended for heretical lechings. The announcement of the fiecision was made as follows: “The court of review has affirmed pnanimously the decision of the lower tourt in the case of Rev. Algernon S. Crapsey, D. D.” The Crapsey c: has attracted wide httention since the publication of Dr. Crapsey’s book of “Religion and Poli- tics” and also since he preached a humber of sermons in which, it is charged, he taught doctrines which were contrary to the faith of the Prot- estant Episcopal church. Dr. Crapsey, In reply to these charges, contended that he had only preached according to what he believed to be true. He tontested the proceedings against him vigorously and among the counsel he employed. was Edward M. Shepard, one of the most noted lawyers of New York. Mr. Shepard, in arguing in be- half of Dr. Crapsey, contended that Dr. Crapsey had acted within his rights throughout and had shown him- self to be straightforward and sincere In all his preaching. Zero Weather in Colorado, Colorado Springs, Colo., Nov. 20.— Several inches of snow have fallen here and the thermometer in Colorado Jprings registers 2 above zero. Bitter cold weather is also reported in the Cripple Creek district. EIGHT PERSONS ARE DEAD SOUTHERN STORM ALSO CAUSES IMMENSE DAMAGE TO PROPERTY. Memphis, Tenn., Nov. 20.—With the exception of the loss of eight lives, reported 8s a result of the storm Sat- urday night and Sunday, which swept the greater portion of West Tennes- see, North and Central Mississippi, North Alabama and Eastern Arkan- sas, there has been no further loss of life. Telegraphic communication is gradually being restored, but railroad traffic is greatly impaired and in many instances demoralized. The rain con- tinues to fall, but the volume is great- ly diminished. Reports from the west- ern section of Tennessee show that the rallroads have suffered greater damage than ever before. Farmers have suffered great loss both in crops and live stock. MANY NOTABLES WILL ATTEND. Delegates Arrive for Transmississippi Commercial Congress. Kansas City, Nov. 20ZGuests to the Commercial club banquet and guests and delegates to the Trans- mississippi commereial congress pour- ed into Kansas City during the day from all directions. They included a cabinet officer, several foreign diplo- mats, United States senators and con- gressmen, governors and mayors, gov- ernmental department experts from ‘Washington, together with representa- tives of numerous commercial organ- izations, lawyers and railway officials. Elihu Root, secretary of state, who is expected to define the government’s stand on the Monroe doctrine and South American relations, arrived on an early train from Chicago, while David R. Francis, heading a large del- egation of Missourians and escorting Minister Calderon of Bolivia, Minister Pardu of Peru and Minister Cortes of Columbia, with Minister to Columbia John Barrett, with whom the foreign- ers left Washington, arrived from St. Louis. Répresentatives of Brazil and Chile came in about the same time that E. H. Harriman, with a party of railway officials, arrived on a special train from Chicago. MEET SOME RESISTANCE. French Officials Resume Taking In. ventory of Churches, Paris, Nov. 20.—The taking of the inventories of the 3,600 churches which were not entered last spring owing to resistance and disorders was begun during the day. Troops every- where were held in readiness to sup- port the prefects, it being the inten- tion of the government not to hesitate before resistance, but no repetition of disorders upon the scale of those of last spring is anticipated, although considerable trouble is expected, es- pecially in the departments of Avey- ron, Vendee and Finisterre. The first resistance reported was at Villelongue- de-la-Salangue, in the Western Pyre- nees. The clericals there, after car- rying a way the sacred emblems, bar- ricaded and locked themselves in the churches. The prefect of the department of Marne has dismissed the mayor of Lavennes, M. Rousseau, for replacing images of Christ in the communal schools from which they had been re- moved under the law.

LOT FOR FAIR SEX, BHILD LABOR LEGISLATION DISCUSSED CONVENTION PREFERS ACTION BY STATES TO NATIONAL LAW ON SUBJECT. Minneapolis, Nov. 20.—The Amerl- can Federation of Labor, in conven- tion here, has declared for woman suffrage. With only one dissenting vote the convention adopted a resolu- tion which calls upen the judiciary committee of the national house of representatives to report to the house Jjoiut resolution No. 86, which pro- vides for submitting to the legisla- tures an amendment to the constitu- tion of the United States, allowing women to vote. The American Federation of Labor is pledged, by the resolution it adopt- ed, to use its efforts for women’s suf- frage. Other resolutions adopted were as follows: Calling on congress to correct abuses In the postal clerk branch of the fed- eral service. Endorsing and urging the passage of Representative Golden’s bill in con- gress to safeguard passengers on ocean steamers so as to prevent recur- rence of the Slocum and Valencia hor- rors. Calling on the president of the Unit- ed States to apply the Chinese exclu- sion act to the shipping of seamen, cooks, etc., on vessels flying the Amer- ican flag. Pledging the American Federation of Labor to use its best efforts to further legislation which shall check the overloading of ocean and lake ves- sels. Debate over the relative desirability of state or federal legislation on child labor occupied much of the morning session of the federation. Child Labor Legislation. Arguments which were old when Webster and Calhoun were battling on the floor of the senate over the question of state sovereignty were paraphrased by the representatives of organized labor in their discussion of the best means of wiping out the evil of child labor. State legislation was finally indorsed by the combined vote of those who held that under the con- stitution congress could not legislate on the ages and hours of labor in the various states and of those who, through distrust of the federal courts, wished laws which would be enforced by judges answerable more directly to the voters. The resolution which brought on this discussion was introduced by W. L. A. Johnson and Thomas F. Flynn, delegates from the Brotherhood of Boi- lermakers and Iron Shipbuilders. Aft- er reciting the need of legislation on the subject of child labor and point- ing out that the various state laws were conflicting and often inefficient it called on the federation to endorse & uniform child labor law and, through its legislative committee, co-opérate with and assist the National Child La- bor association. The committee on resolutions amend- ed this resolution by substituting for “such a law by the next congress” the words “of a law in the several states prohibiting the employment of chil- dren under sixteen years of age.” The committee recommended the adoption of the resolution as amended. The conventlon concurred after long de- bate. REORGANIZES CANAL WORK. President Signs Executive Order to That Effect. New York, Nov. 20.—A Panama spe- clal to the Herald says that before President Roosevelt sailed for the North he signed an executive order reorganizing the Panama canal work on a basis similar to that of most great rallroads. Under the new order the building of the canal will be un- der the management of a chairman, chief engineer, general council, chief sanitary officer, purchasing officer, au- ditor, disbursing officer and manager of labor quarters. The government of the canal zone will be vested in the general council through the medi- um of a local administrator. Such reorganization of the isthmian canal commission as Mr. Roosevelt may decide is advisable will be de- ferred until after his return to Wash- ington. The order signed affects on- ly the work on the canal. ARRAIGNED BY NEGROES, President’s Dismissal of Colored Sol- diers Condemned. New York, Nov. 20.—President Roosevelt has been arraigned from the pulpit of Afro-American churches in this eclty for his order dismissing, | without honor, three companies of ne- gro soldlers from the Twenty-fifth United States infantry.

Chicago, Nov. 20.—Policeman Luke Fitzpatrick is dead and Charles Han- son, an ex-convict, is dying as the result of a fight which took place on the station of the elevated road at Bixty-third street and Madison ave- hue. Hanson and a companion entered a Brocery store in Hammond, Ind., blew open the safe and escaped with sever- el hundred dollars in money and ne- gotiable papers worth a considerable sum. Officers of the Hammond po- lice force pursued them out of town, but the robbers escaped after exchang- ing several shots with the policemen. Later the. robbers boarded an electric car bound for Chicago and the con- ductor, who had heard of the robbery, being suspicious of them, as soon as the car reached Chicago informed’ Of- ficer Fitzpatrick, who was standing near, the foot of the stairway leading up to the elevated station. The rob- bers had already mounted the stairs and Fitzpatrick and the conductor fol- lowed them. Fitzpatrick -ordered them to halt and they at once opened fire on him. Fitzpatrick was struck -sev- eral times and fell down the stairs, After reaching the bottom, however, he raised himself on his elbow and emptied his revolver at Harfson, who ran down the stairs in the effort 1o escape. Hanson fired several more shots. at the officer and ‘when Fitzpat- rick was taken to the hospital he was found to be suffering from seven wounds. He died in a short time. Policemen Birch and Wilson, who had |’ heard the firing between Hanson and Fitzpatrick, hurried up as Hanson was running away and Birch shot him through the back, inflicting a fatal ‘wound. GET AWAY FROM TROOPS NUMBER OF UTE INDIANS ON THE WAY TO FORT MEADE MAKE THEIR ESCAPE. 4 Cheyeune, Wyo,, Nov. 20.—A special to the Tribune from Sheridan, Wyo., says that part of the band of Ute Indians who are being escorted to Fort Meade by’ United States troops escaped and are believed to have gone to the Sibux reservation. The Utes objected to the immediate pres. ence of the icavalry escort and the troops were ofdered to keep at a certain distance: This gave the In- dians an cpportunity to'desert, of which a number took advantage. DECLARE THAW WAS INSANE. Opinion of Alienists Who Have Ex- amined Prisoner. New York, Nov. 20.—That Harry K. Thaw was insane when he shot and killed Stanford White in Madison Saquare roof garden theater is the ex- pressed opinion of three alienists who examined the prisoner at the instance of his counsel. Their report to this effect has been made to Clifford W. Hartridge, chief :counsel for Thaw. The report does not say that Thaw is insane at the present time. The unanimous opinion of the experts is that Thaw always has been of a neurotic temperament and they re- port that they have found in the his- tory of his life that he from time to time suffered spells of emotional in- sanity. The experts who signed the report are Dr. Britton W. Evans. Dr. Charles S. Wagner and Dr. Christopher C. Bel- ing, all of whom stand high in their profession. Dr. Wagner is superin- tendent of the state hospital at Bing- hamton, N. Y.; Dr. Beling is superin- tendent of the state hospital of New Jersey, and Dr. Evans is the chief physician of that institution. The re- port of these éxperts on mental dis- eases appears to show that Thaw’s de- fense will be emotional insanity. CAUSE OF MUCH VIOLENCEf Strike of Chauffeurs in New York City at an End, New York, Nov. 20.—The automo- bile drivers’ strike ended early in the day when a sattlement was reached between a committee representing the men and officials of the New York Transportation company. It is un- derstood that the terms included a provision that the men should re. turn as individuals, except those who had engaged in violence. Such men are not to be re-employed. The strike just ended has been pro- ductive of more scenes of disorder than any strike in New York for years, excepting the street car strike. Since tke strike began on Oct. 26 there have been sixty-five arrests. The men gained an increase in wages, but the working day will con- tinue twelve hours. The strikers had also to waive their demands that the shop be made a union one. The men, however, are given the right to main- tain their own union DARING TERRORIST ATTACK.

Thomas, a matter of perhaps a hundred miles, was fought the most wonderful naval battle in all history. The Dutch admiral detected the enemy In the early morning, when the sea was covered with a thick mist, and his guns opened fire at once with- out warning. The fire was returned with Interest, the ocean fairly quiver- Ing with spasms caused by the shock of frequent discharges. Somehow or other the enemy’s shots, which sound- ed like a bombardment, seemed to fall short or go wide of the mark, for not even a splash of a ball was heard, and the Dutch ships remained unscathed. On the other hand, the Duteh could not see the terrible execution thelr guns were doing untll nearly the middle of the forenoon, when the fog lifted, re- vealing to their astonished gaze not the vessels of the enemy, but a great rock standing out of the sea. They had been firing at it for five hours, and the sound of the return shots they heard was the echo from the solid wall of granite. They named the place Redonda, which means sent, rolled or driven back, and Redonda it Is to this day. One of the Family. James Seymour, the artist, was born in London in 1702. He displayed a fondness for drawing and painting in boyhood and subsequently galned ce- lebrity by his skill In designing horses. Once the prond Duke of Somerset em- ployed Seymour to paint a room at his seat in Sussex, with the portraits of his running horses. Having admitted the artist to his table, he one day drank to him, saying: “Cousin Seymour, your health.” The painter replied, “My lord, I real- 1y believe that I have the honor of be- ing of your grace's family.” This hurt the pride of the duke so much that he rose from the table and ordered his steward to pay Seymour and dismiss him. Finding, however, that no one in England could complete the pictures bezun, he condescended to send for his cousin. The painter re- sponded to the message in these words: “My lord, I will now prove that I am of your grace’s family. for I won't come.” Got Him Mixed.

It consisis simply of three logs lashed together and flush with the surface of the water. On these a-fish- erman (sometimes two or more fisher- men) stands and with a single oar pad- dles himself far out to sea, A Madras fisherman will venture out when boat- men will not launch their craft, and even in weather when boats cannot be launched he will go through the sarf and out to ships with letters, for the delivery of which he gets a few pence. In order to catch their ships a few be- lated 'travelers have been known to trust themselves on catamarans. They are united in the statement that the ride on the logs was the most nerve trying experience they had undergone In a land that holds a new thrill for the stranger at every turn.
