ERw1N's MASTER EFFORT.
The Great Lawyer Carries Away
the Changers by His Eloquence.

the Changers by His EloQuence.
W. w. Erwin was greeted on rising
to address the delegates. His address
created profound impression, and by
all it was admitted a most masterly
effort.
Mr.. Erwin opened with liberal quo
tation from George Bancroft, contem-
plating the eXegesis of the American
Revolution. The "TalI Pine,' seemed
to feel himself second Robespierre
with revolution yawning at his feet,
and the audience sat entranced as he
poured out, in smoothly flowing plati-
tudeS, the story of the gift of freedom
and how it was trampled under the feet
of corporate power. He said:
Prating ever Of its rights at the hands of
freemcn, false capital has robbed the citizen,
controlled the state. nodded and bought leg
islation, seized the administration of politi-
cal parties, prostltuting these sentinels of
liberty to become the body guards of wrong
and injustice. 1t has erected a system of laws
and customs over and through all industries,
by which pernicious laws and customs it
takes from all labor the just reward of its ex-
ertion, and with the abandoned effrontery of
all armed robber it defes the injured from
all redress It claims the protection of the
law which it creates for its purposes; for
it pleads as excuse the fraud of
its creation. 1t has whelped itself
into ten times its natural size and
bloated with the profits of the ceaseless
industry Of q nation of 60, 900, 600 slaves to
lis systems, encroachments and power, it
holds in it's deadly clutch the liberties, the
happiness, the rewards and the peace Of the

delivered. as Mr.. Donnelly put it, to fill
the interregnum. Eva Mcdonald, of
Minneapolis, and Hon. John Plowman,
of Otter Tail county, delivered short
and most acceptable addresses. DIR.
Fish received a call and delivered one
of his usual ranting speeches. He
trotted out the Gigantic gambling and
stockbroking hells," and had wipe at
Senator Washburn, who, he said, had
only been in congress few months
when the 500 road watered its stock by
$1,000, 900, which was contrary to the
laws of the state.
The committee on credentials report
ed shortly after o'clock.
Mr.. DOnnelly suggested the appoint
ment of committee to confer with a
committee on organized labor, the OBJ
ject of which was to arrange for dele
gates from the labor interests having
representation in the convention.
President Hall appointed Oh this COM
mittee:
j. Donnelly, Dakota county; J. B. Hompe,
Otter Tail; Milo Camp, Stevens; III. "a.

D. F. Roundsville, Nicollet; r. W. Probtsfud,
Clay; G. G. Coon, Sibley; H. B. Poore, Rem

Considerable time was occupied in
reading the list of delegates. The re-
port of the committee showed the fol
lowing representation from the five con-
gresSiOnal districts: First, 40 delegates
Second, 1913: Third, 100; Fourth, ID;
Fifth, ITO; total, 452. The report was

1'RENToN's LOSS.
The Little Wisconsin Town a Very
Heavy Sufferer.

Special to the Globe.
TRENTON, Wis, July 16.-This vii
lage has suffered more severely in COM
parison to its population by the recent
disaster on Lake Pepin than even Red
Wing has. Over twenty of the flower
of population OF 200 are dead and in
their graves. The feeling here against
Capt. Wetheren is not nearly
so intense as is that on the other side OF
the river. Marion Sparks, the engineer
of the wrecked steamer Sea Wing, was
seen and interviewed by GLOBE rep
resentative in Trenton to- day. He had
with him on the ill-fated boat his wife
and several friends. Mrs. Sparks was
saved but the others drowned. In
speaking of the accident and the
causes which led to it Mr..
Sparks exonerated the captain
fully. stating that there was no truth in
the stories of his having been drunk,
and that he did everything man could
do for the salvation of his passengers.
1--WE were going,up the lake right in the
teeth of the wind" he said. ut was
not so strong at first but that the boat
could stand it all right, but
when we got off the point it
blew so hard that Capt. Wetheren con-
cluded there was danger in trying to
proceed, and gave orders to beach her.
The boat was eased off couple OF
points, and we started for the shOal
water on the Minnesota shore under
full head of steam. This left us with
the wind OH our quarter, but we should
have made the shore all right il it hadn't
been for the wind that came from an
other angle and met the first current.
/ saw the water coming ahead of that
tornado; it was fifteen feet high; tre-
mendouS wave with white crest. l
knew we were gone then, and rushed
to the door of the cabin and yelled for
the women to come out onto the barge.
Some of them did, but only few. In
less than a minute the wall of
water struck us and over went
the steamer. I jumped for the barge
and looked about for my wife, but she
was missing and 1 thought until got
ashore that she was drowned. If the
people ashore had heard of the accident
fifteen minutes earlier they could have
saved half the people who were
drowned.
s'How many people were on the
boat?" was asked.
LESS than 200, and our permit allowed
us to carry 35O."

The Vicinity Of North st. Paul
Suffers a Second Visi-
tati0n,
And the Acme Chair Factory
Is Literally Wiped From
the Earth.
The Missing Victims Of Sum-
days Cyclone Given Up
by Lake GervaiS.
Clear Lake, Wisconsin, Badly
Shaken Up by the Same
Tornado.
Two cyclones at St. Paul in a week.

Two cyclones at st. Paul in weel>
Another furious electric storm passeo
just north of the city at o'clock last
evening, and struck the earth in the
southern part of North st. Paul, utterly
demolishing the works of the Acme
Chair company.
From o'clock the sky presented a.
very threatening appearance. There
was in the air the same close. oppres-
sive sultriness that was so marked on
Sunday afternoon, preceding the ter
rible storm at Kohlman'S. Huge clouds
rolled portentuously off toward the
north, grouped in great billowy masses
one moment, then giving way to solid
greenish sheet, through which the
lightning played fiercely. AS the dark
ness came on. the storm indications
were intensified, though the clouds
moved off toward the northeast-the in
variable direction Of cyclone. half
an hour later the city was filled with
rumors of disaster on every hand. First
Saltwater had been wiped off the map.
and then it was Anoka. Then came
the story of cyclone at Clear Lake, on
the Omaha road. Investigation showed
that storm had done considerable
damage there, wreking roofs promiscu-
ously and playing havoc with chimneys,
but fortunately no lives were lost and
no serious damage accomplished.
Then came a rumOr of a storm at
North st. Paul, and this proved true.
though it was unattended by any loss of
life. The storm struck there at 500
o'clock, and for few moments the
southern limits of the little manufact-
uring suburb were wrapped In a dense
gale. with cyclonic conditions. A large
crowd of people had been on the look
out. and there was the widest cOnster-
nation for a., few moments. But
the storm Veered off to the
east and passed on. The only dam-
age was to the plant of tho
Acme Chair company, which was totally
wrecked. 1t was a tw0-stOry bricS
building and stood next the casket
works, being the southernmost building
of the town. The wind caught the
upper portion of the building and cut it
off as by knife, lifting it bodily and
smashing it to pieces some distance
away. At the same time, the walls
were crushed together like an egg
shell, leaving it an utter ruin. The
loss will probably reach $4,000, as the
company had about 5000 chairs ready
for shipment, which were destroyed.
The plant was erected about eight
months ago by Chicago concern, and
was building up f1Ourishing business,
The building was entirely deserted and
the loss was not tinged with injuly to
life or limb.

GIVES UP IT'S. DEAD.
The Three Missing Bodies Found,
Out in Lake Gervais.

Up to $50 o'clock on Tuesday even.
ing the searching party under the dlrec-
tion of j. l. Everett kept up the search
of Lake Gervais for the bodies of those
who have been missing since the cyclone
of Sunday evening. At that hour the
search was abandoned. Yesterday MORN
ing about 4 o'clock, however, Alexander
Jeremy, engaged in dragging the lake.
brought up the bodies of Charles Schur-
meier and Rev. DIR. Pfaefe. An hour
later Nelson Jeremy recovered the body
of Mrs. j. HI. Schurmeier. The three
bodies were about 400 feet flom the
shore of the lake, and but short dis
tance apart. The bodies were bruised
and horribly swollen and distorted. De-
composition had advanced rapidly. Tho
dead persons were brought to the city
by Guthunz & Rockstroh. Hundreds
called at the undertaking rooms on Wa
couta street to view the remains, but all
were denied admission, the condition Of
the bodies being very bad. They were
prepared during the day for Christian
burial. and the funerals will take place
this afternoon at o'clock from the
Methodist Episcopal church at the cor
ner of Rosabel and Sixth streets, adja-
cent to the Schumacher residence.
The funeral of Peter Wilberg will oc-
cur this morning at 9 o'clock from
Guthunz & Rockstroh's m0rgue.
At $3.50 this afternoon the funeral Of
George j. Miller will take place from
the residence of his father, 3S4 Waverly
place. Services in German and English
will be conducted by Revs. II. Funk and
w. FL. Butrick, respectively.
Last evening the attending physician
reported that Miss Minnie Meiss is get
ting along nicely at her home on Maria
avenue, and is in fair way to recover.
The two patients at the city hospital
are in very critical condition. Mrs.
Shannon is delirious and suffering from
nervous shock. Frank MelancOn is suf-
tering from cerebral meningitis. Mar
tin McNamee, who is at the city hos
pital, is doing we'll. Reports from the
lake yesterday were to the effect that
the injured still remaining there were
doing as well as could be expected.

Special to the Globe.
RED Wing, Minn.. July 16.-The total
of 100 bodies recovered reached tonight
is regarded here as evidence that the
number Of persons drowned has been
underestimated. 1t is anticipated that
several more bodies will arrive to-
morrow morning, as an intima-
tion was received from Lake City
late last night that several
more had been seen. II. w. Hill, OF
Stockholm, who arrived here this even
ing, stated that young man, whose
clothes bore evidence of submersiOn,
took dinner at the Stockholm hotel yes
terday and acted as though insane.
He was asked il he had been on the
steamer which was wrecked, and imme-
lately upon learning the name Sea
Wing, his face turned livid and his
teeth chartered in horrible manner. 1t
took half an hour to compose him, but
even then nothing could be learned as to
where he came from or his destination.
The lad was we'll dressed but had no
money to pay for his dinner and was al
lowed to depart. He walked away NUT
tering to himself and has not been seen

OFFICIAL INVESTIGATION.
Inspector Sloa ne Examines Capt.
Wetheren and His Officers.

w
The local board of steam vessels in
spectors from Galena came to this city
yesterday under instruction from John
d. Sloane, inspector for this district,
and began an investigation of the Lake
Pepin disaster. The examination is in
progress at the office of Mr.. Sloane, in
the Federal building, and will continue
for several days. The object is to get
at all the facts surrounding the disaster
for the purpose Of making a full report
to the supervising inspector of WASH
ington. Thus far a partial examination
of the crew of the ill-fated steamer Sea
Wing has been made. The eXamina-
ton of a number of surviving
passengers will be made as soon
as their attendance can be secured.
The investigation is not based on any
proceedings against any officer of the
Sea Wing, Capt. Wetheren was volnn-
tarily present and portion OF his testi-
mony was taken. He is not under ar
rest, and if he is placed in custody it
will be done through another proceed
ing. The investigation is secret. and no
newspaper reporter were allowed to be
present. 1t is understood that the teSti-
the papers, except that the estimates of
passengers on the boat and the number
of deaths were too large. The clerk
stated that he had counted the passen-
gers Oh the boat before starting on the
homeward trip, and also those who
boarded her at the different points.
There were not more than 160 at
the time OF the disaster. The list
of deaths as published would
aggregate over hundred, but names
had been duplicated. The number OF
deaths, however. will run very near to
100 persons. Over eighty bodies had
been recovered up to noon yesterday.
If the investigation shows that Capt.
Wetheren, or any of the other licensed
officers of the Sea Wing, were grossly
negligent, the license of such person
will be revoked. 1t has been stated
that the captain was incompetent, and
if such is shown to be fact he will not
be permitted to take charge of another
boat.

this evening said that there was no
liquor aboard the steamer for sale, and
to the charge that the captain and crew
had been drinking he entered an, en-
some rowdies on the barge who had
been drinking, but no complaints were
made to him about them, although he
did order them to keep quiet.
Others say for Mr.. Sparks as
we'll as for Capt. Wetheren that
neither of them was in the habit of
drinking, and their friends are indig-
nant at any hint of drunkenness against
them. Mr.. Sparks believes the rope that
held the steamer and barge together
slipped off when the steamer turned
over; he had reached the barge and
walked along the upturned bottom of
the steamer without seeing single
person. His wife was in the cabin and
he never saw her alive again. The
captain had sent orders for the women
and children to 60 on to the barge, but
the man to whom he gave the order, who
is dead, shut them in the cabin instead.
TEis the engineer knew from his own
personal observation and to his own
knowledge. There is in this city sur
vivor of the storm who says he helped
to cut the rope that bound the boats to-
gether. As the separation of the two
vessels has been considered one Of the
causes for the great loss of life, every
thing bearing on this point is eagerly
sought after by those who strive after
the causes and blames Of the event.
