he was asked if he didn't want some shoes for his family. Dead silence for
 a moment-and then a flood of tears ! and sobs that shook the mans great | frame was the only answer. "They are gone, all gone" he finally said; and
 then it came out that he was one of the 1 three policemen whose entire families
 were swept away on the night of the ! storm, while they were attending to I duty, helping to save other peoples 1 families. This man had a wife, four | pretty children and a happy, prosper ! ous home; and not q trace of any of | them has been found. What is there about pair of baby shoes that ap- peals to the heart of a parent more than any other article of infant appa- rel? Many a mother keeps among her choicest treasures a pair of tiny shoes over which she sheds tears of sorrow for the little feet that once pressed them. She does not weep over the cap, or dress; but the shoes more than any thing else bring to mind the wee bit of | humanity that for a little time toddled about the house, pattering up stairs and down, out doors and in. Many a mother whose babe was torn from her arms on that cruel night of storm has given way to her grief at sight of the little shoes in the Red Cross warehouse, and our tears have fallen with hers.
 Among the varied contributions that are constantly arriving came yesterday a large consignment of mems hats, from the National Hatters' union; alsa a quantity of mackintoshes and over shoes from a New Jersey india-rubber manufactory. The same day we re- ceived two carloads of disinfectants, ill- cluding fifty-seven barrels of carbolic acid, thirty-seven barrels of copperas and five thousand pounds of other dis infectants, all of which we turned over to Galveston's mayor without loss of time. If ever disinfectants were need ed it is right now, when hundreds of putrefying corpses are poisoning the air. Though two thousand men are constantly at work, aided by two hun dred teams, the heaps of wreckage seem to be as high as ever; and it is es- timated that under it are at least thousand rotting human bodies, to say nothing of the carcasses of dogs, cows horses and other domestic animals. Last weeks record of bodies found and cremated was three hundred and nine teen-forty-one on Friday. All are burned to ashes on the nearest pile, which is kept blazing night and day with whatever combustible material is at hand At first the workmen carried the corpses on stretchers, then in sacks, slung characterization. Then as legs and arms and heads dropped off, they employed shovels for the ghastly work, and now they are using ptchforks. AL though every physician in Galveston is vehemently denying that there is any danger of pestilence in the tainted air, they Are holding private meetings to discuss what is best to be done in what all recognize as a very grave situation.

HADLEY ON TRUSTS.
Important In erview With the Presi-
DIN of Yale.

NEW HAEVN, Conn. March 21.-
President Had,ey of Ya.e, leading
American authority on railroads,
speaking last night on public control of
industrial activity, said:
The growth OF large corporations
and the increasing consolidation of
capital in every form of industrial en-
terprise has brought to the front now
as never before that part of the cues
ton of socialism which relates TO the
re.ations between Government and in
dustrial enterprise.
Whatever system Is adopted. the
management Will We in the hands of the
ew. Il is necessary for the successful
conduct of modern industry that it
should be managed in this way. These
few men in whom power is centralized
are likely to be the same, whether the
industry be held in the name of ii pri-
vate corporation or in the name OF the
community. The same qualities which
command success in business tend to
command success in politics also. Much
of the complaint with regard to the eff
feet of the money power in politics Is
but confession OF the ineyitab.eness
of this fact.
at Is sometimes said that State rail-
roads will not have to pay the profits
that are now distributed by private
rai roads. But what does this mean?
The State gets the railroads for moth
ing? No. 1t must borrow money to
pay for them. The attempt TO confis-
cate them without pay would not only
be unconstitutional, but would be de-
structlye of all social order. On the
money thus borrowed 1t must pay in
terest.
The railroads of the country at pres
ent. taking good years and bad years
together, are probably not earning more
than 3 per cent. Should the Govern
ment therefore borrow money at per
cent II would simply mean that the
same amount of money would be dis
trlbuted by Government agents to
holders of Government stocks and
bonds.
"A large part OF the difficulty about
trusts at the present day lies in the
fact that we are trying to carry into
an age of combination the morals and
the law deyeloped In time of free
competition. We leave the producer
free to make what prices he likes, be-
cause we assume that failure to do so
will evoke competitor. In some cases
this process Is so slow that some or all
OF the consumers are ruined before the
cure has time to work itself out"
The Maui did NOT get away yester-
day. She spent all forenoon at work
raising the bell buoy.

gines of $50 horsepower There Is al

The gasoline tanks are OF 500 gallons
apacity-sufficient to run the vessel
several thousand miles, but schooner

yenient. both for speed and economi-
cal purposes. Captain Heinrlchsen
commands the Eclipse. and there is a
crew of eight men before the mast. She
has a capacity for carrying $50 tons
OF freight. There are accommodations
for few passengers.
