He Says His Address was Misund erstood
by Many People-what He Meant by
His Remarks.
NEW YORK, Feb. 27.-Ex- Mayor
Hewitt has been reading what the
Southern Senators and Representatives
have said about his speech at the ban
quet of the Southern Society in this city
last Monday evening. He told World
reporter who called at his office yester-
day that their criticisms simply proved
the truth of his assertion that the South
ern statesmen of to-day are inferior to
the men of half century ago.
"Now that am speaking on this sub
ject," continued Mr.. Hewitt, ~ wish to
say that my address has been misun-
derstood by many people who did not
hear it, but read the short reports in the
newspapers. While these reports were
fairly accurate, so far as they went,
they gave different impression than
would have resulted had the speech
been given in full. Then, again, my
criticism was confined to the Southern
statesmen because | was talking to a
Southern audience. l hold the same
opinion of the average statesman in
other parts of the country, and had l
been speaking before more general
audience l would undoubtedly have in
cluded the whole country in my state
ment. ~- --
81 have read the remarks of Senator
Butler and others, and all care to say
is that their words prove the truth of
my statement, If they were as big men
as Calhoun, Clay and others of their
time they would not have said what
they did, even if my position was a
wrong one.n

Farrer, with several friends from St.
Louis, has been in the neighborhood of
st. Charles, on White River, Ark, for
several days on hunting and fishing
expedition, and for the past two weeks
Farrer had been bordering on delirium
tremens.
Early Saturday morning Farer, in
his drunken condition, broke down the
doors of two or three stores and was
preceding to demolish the door of the
store belonging to WILDER Parker when
the alarm of burglars was raised.
Walter A. Ballard. who slept in an
adjoining store, heard the noise and ran
to see what it meant. Just as he reached
the front door Parker, who slept in the
back room of the store, rushed out with
a gun in his hand and fired load of
buckshot into Billiards. breast, from the
effect of which he died last night.
Parker then turned the other barrel of
his gun on Farrer and fired, killing him
instantly.

from all blame.

TO SAVE THE KEIRSARGE.
Secretary Herbert's Request and Admira
StantOn's Statement.


WAsHINGToN Feb. 23.-An attempt will
be made to save the old warship Kear-
sarge, and the first steps were taken to-
day, when Secretary Herbert addressed
letters to the Senate and House asking for
authority and an appropriation to contract
with some wrecking company for saving
the wreck of the historic vessel. now lying
on Roncador reef. To United Press re-
porter Secretary Herbert said he could not
make any definite estimate as to the cost
of the work of taking the ship from her
present position, but he believed that
$4,000 would be sufficient for the purpose.
Pending action on his request of Congress,
Mr.. Herbert will receive bids for saving
the wreck in order that an estimate of the
appropriation required may be made, and
it is probable that there will be some
sharp competition, owing to the valuable
advertisement the work of raising the ship
will afford to the successful bidder.
The decision of the Secretary to attempt
tile preservation of the Kearsarge was
based on report submitted to the Secre-
tarv to-day by Rear Admiral Stanton. The
report is as follows:
WASHINGTON, Feb. 90, ls9i-sIR: In obedi-
ence to your verbal order Of this date, have
the honor to report that at the time OF the last
trip to the Kearsarge from Roncador Cay.
made by Ensign Gates, Pnymaster Ring and
part OF q boats crew, who hauled themselves
hawser which had been left from the inner
rect to tho bows of the ship. they found the
holds and berth deck full OF water 10 within IS
inches OF the spnr deck beams on the port
side. The ship being heeled to port about 10
degrees left tho starboard side OF the berth
deck partly free OF water. This visit was made
on February Sth. The ship lies with her bows
In about feet OF water and her stern in about
IL feet At tho time OF striking the reef she
was drawing approximately l3b1 feet forward
and 10 feet aft. wo or three Of the buttA for
ward on the port side appeared 10 be started.
aud am OF the opinion that the port bilge
under the boilers is partially crushed in, from
the fact that the boilers had been displaced
aud that the water seemed to come in more
readily in that part of the ship. The masts,
spars, sails, guns and equipments, while not OF
the modern type, were not those that or ginally
belonged 10 the ship in the historic period of
her career.
The ships hull was extensively repaired at
Mare Island navy yard In 1ST2-73, The keel
quarter Of the frame timbers OF the ship are
ton and repair TO belong 10 the original ship.
As the frames were diagonally braced and
strapped with iron, she will not, in my
opinion, break up during the next four
months, and think Well-equipped wrecklng
company could, by working at favorable
times, move The ship to the lee side of the reef,
keeping their powerful pumps gong to keep
her alioat during the charge of position. Her
bottom could then be patched by divers, and
believe she could bo towed by way of the west
end OF Cuba to Key West aud thence to any
point Desired

Died at the Acc Of 1oe Years.

ELLIooTT CITY, MD, Feb. 26.-Mr.
John II. Proctor, Howard county's
oldest resident, died yesterday at the
residence of Mr.. Andrew Ray, near the
II mile stone, on the Frederick pike.
Mr. Proctor made his home with Mr..
Ray. He cameto Howard county from
Virginia, where, according to his own
statement, he was born seven years be-
fore the death of Washington. AS that
occurred in 1899, Mr.. Proctor's years
numbered 102. Until recently he led the
active life of carpenter. He always
chewed tobacco, and until few years
ago was an inveterate smoker. He
stopped smoking only when its indul.

his waning strength. His wife, who
died few years ago, was over 80 years
old. They left no children. Both were
members Of the Baptist Church.

SMASHED INTO FREIGHT CARS.
Exciting Collision In the West Yard,
Early Sunday Morning.

The Washington Express Dashed Into a
Freight Train ON the South bound Track
Passengers Badly Scared, But None
We're Injured.
An accident which might have culmi.
mated in serious smashup occurred on
the Philadelphia, Wilmington e. Balti-
more railroad, shortly before 3 o'clock,
Sunday morning, and for time rail-
road circles were excited The New
York and Washington express ran into
a section of freight train in the west
yard, which was being transferred to
the south-bound track by a shifting en-
gine, and 1t was more by good luck than
good management that no one was in
jured.
The express, which is due to leave
Wilmington for Washington at 4.35
o'clock, was few minutes late on ar
irving in this city. The crew of the
freight train, thinking it had passed,
began shifting number of freight cars
to the opposite track, whore they had
been left on a siding. The express
came along before the crew of the
freight train could get their cars out of
the way, and crashed into them. Most
of the freight cars were smashed and
broken, and were totally disabled.
The express was composed of an
engine, combination baggage car, two
day coaches and six Pullman palace
cars, all of which so badly disabled
that they had to be discarded. The
passengers in the Pullman coaches were
mostly asleep when the accident oc-
CURED, and the shock caused them
great anxiety, They believed that. a
serious accident had happened. Aside
from thorough shaking up and severe
fright none OF the passengers were in
jured.
The Pullman sleepers and the day
coaches scraped along the side of the
freight train and were badly damaged
The steps all along one side were carried
away and in some cases the sides of the
cars were crushed in and the window
glass shattered and broken.
The accident caused considerable
delay on the rail and traffic was blocked
for over an hour. The passengers had
to be transferred from the Pullman
train to the day coaches, as only the
engine came out of the wreck unscathed
The passengers had the pleasure oi
leaving their snug berths in the sleepers
and journeying TO Washington il
ordinary day coaches.
All information regarding the acci
dent has been scrupulously guarded in
railroad circles and officials have beer
reluctant to talk about the matter. The
company has not yet been able to fl the
blame for the wreck, but it is stated that
the fault was that of the freight creH
in obstructing the passage Of the express
The damaged cars are lying on the
side track nearly opposite Second street
and tell the story of the accident to any
one who desires to make an investiga
ton of the cause of their mutilated ap
peaIance. The company will be forcet
10 send them to the shops for acompleti
overhpuling. e''---'-' -
The express was nearly two houri
late on reaching Washington.

There are red cedar fence posts along
the Newport pike, bounding the Folly
woods, that are 65 years old. They
were set in 1929 and to all appearance
are as sound as on the long-gone-by date
when they were put in the ground. OF
course they are weather worn to a
degree. The latter is apparent, but the
soundness of tho wood can readily be
tested with o penknife. The age of
the fence posts is matter of local farm
history.
