The action of the quorum has aroused

that when the late manifesto was issued,

A RACE WITH DEATH.
Lake Steamer Catches Fire and Is
Run Full Speed for the
Nearest Shore.

Chicago, Dec. 5.-Twelve men composing
the crew of the steamer George W. Nor
lev had a race with death on Lake Michi-
gan this evening. Fire broke out in the
hold of the vessel seven miles off Evanston.
All steam was crowded on. the safety
valves We're tied down and with men work
ing like trojans in the binding smoke, the
run for shore commenced. AS the flames
burst through the cabin, land was reached
and the crew was saved.
The Morley was bound from Milwaukee
to Chicago without a cargo. Seven miles
off Evanston the explosion of lantern in
the hold started the blaze. The crew
was turned into q fire brigade but the
flames, it was soon seen, were beyond
control. and the race between steam and
fire was ordered. The bow of the boat
was pointed toward Evanston under full
head cf steam. Meantime the crew kept
up a steady stream of water into the hold.
But the fire gained rapidly. The stokers.
almost smothered by smoke. piled on coal
and tied down the safety valves. Just as
the crew were becoming discouraged with
the unequal battle. the keel touched
ground. Life savers took off the almost
exhausted crew. A moment later. the
flames burst through the cabin and soon
destroyed the upper works of the vessel
The Morley was valued at 100000; insur-
ance $4,000. She was owned by Haywood &
Avery. of Cleveland and was engaged in
the grain carrying trade on the Great
lakes.

Much Attention.

Mobile. Ala, Dec. 1.-The controversy
over the postmastership at Mobile is at
tracing attention on account of the i'm
portant legal phases of the case and the

sion is dated December II, 1924. and his of
fetal term will, therefore. not expire until

which first-ciass postmasterS are appointed
provides in terms that such postmaster
shall be appointed for the term of four
Years. and can be removed by the president
orly by and with the advice and con-
sent of the senate. The president, on the

Ist of December demanded of Postmaster
Rapier the surrender of the office MIR.
Rapier claims he received no notice Of his
removal according to law. and will not sur
render the Office until the legality of his
removal has been passed upon by the
courts.

master at Mobile during the Harrison adj

Paris Dec. 5.-The budget and the finan-
puZzlnS the Meline cabinet. The ministers
seem determined on carrying out their
Farmers Alliance scheme of government
loans on the farmers growing crops and
agricultural products. The committee of
the chamber which examined the scheme
was unanimous in its favor, and it viii

How much capital will be required. how
many farmers Will seek loans. what the Sc
curity will be really worth, and how many
will repay the borrowed money. are all
questions that no one can answer. 1t is d
leap in the dark.
But it has older precedents than the
Farmers Alliance of ten years ago in the
United States, for it was first proposed by
the well known socialist writer, P.J. Proud
hon, as far back as 1S4S. 1t was Proudhon

is an able and ingenious man, but his wits
are being severely tested In the endeavor
to make receipts balance expenses. Out of
a total of 5000, co., go francs 6OO,0o.oo) to
be expended next year. he only figures out a
surplus of $4,000. Counting on saving Of
81 in every $4,000 is a pretty close calcula-
ton. No wonder he Is desirous of getting
money by every possible means.
Mindful of the fate of the Bourgeois cabi-
net over the income tax-he has avoided that
mistake, only to fall into the other. of nix
ing tax on foreign dividends and coupons
paid in France. 1t is thought now that this
scheme will pass. but it is very doubtful IL
the government will get as much money out
of it as anticipated.
OF course it is possible to keep track OF
such dividends paid here. for no banker is
allowed to do business whose books are
not open at all times to government in
spection, and every receipt for money re-
Quires a stamp.
But, OH the other hand. most Of the divi-
dends received here and coupons cashed are
not for very small sums. They rarely run
less than $50 or 500. and the people whs
get them for the most part belong TO the
leisure class. Now. London is only eight
hours away, and one can go there and back
for s.. so that NJ Cochery's tax on foreign
dividends and coupons could easily be
avoided by having them cashed in London.

They fear that II will divert the brokerage
