BY GREED OF POLITICS
WARNING is SlLENCED

LONDON, Sept. 6-Today's Paris news
indicates that Martinique will be aban-
doned. France is aghast at the horrors
which have made the island charnel
house, many more lives than England lost
in the Boer war.
The population of the island already has
been reduced by deaths due to volcanic
eruptions and by. the departure of sur
vivors to other places from 10000 to less
than 100000 and many are Fastening away
by any vessel that will carry them It IS
a sad fact that the loss of life in May
last and within the past week has been
due chiefly to politics, the truth being
that a warning was given In both cases
of the coming eruptions.
In May last an election was impending,
and the vote of st. Pierre was important
to the dominant party. So, In the face Of
awful noises from the mountain, which
impelled every intelligent person to seek
safety elsewhere, a Gordon of troops was
stationed around st. Pierre to prevent the
people from getting away, and many were
actually driven back TO the city, which
proved their grave.
About two weeks ago the refugees of the
villages near Mont PeIee were sent back
there in order that the districts might
furnish votes needed in future elections,
which they could not do If depopulated.
The Martinique fatalities have not been
Gods work, but mans work. God gave
timely warning. but mans selhshness made
him blind and deaf to the underground
thunder and the dark clouds which how
cred over the mountain of death. That is
the simple truth about Martinique, and
II is time that 1t should be told.
The island will be evacuated, and the
majority Of the inhabitants will probably
find refuge in French Guinea. where there
is plenty of room for them. There is none
in the other French islands of the West
Indies, the population of Guidalope being
all it can support and its dependencies
being insignificant. Guinea is the only ref
uge for these naonie II tl1ey are to re-
main in French territory. 4N

REFUSED $1,000 ZOE JOE


WASHINGTON, Sept A-Mr. B. f.
Barnes. assistant secretary to the presi-
dent. arrived in Washington today. Mr..
Barnes was with the presidential party
at Pittsfeld yesterday, being in the sec
ond carriage behind that occupied by the
president at the time of the accident
Although Mr.. Barnes disclaims having
any special knowledge as to all the cir
cumstances oR',ne accident, not shared by
many others, yet from what he saw and
heard on the spot, he thinks the respon-
rOility for the accident lies between the
driver Of the presidents carriage and the
motorman, with the greater burden upon
the latter.
The trolley road at that point, Mr..
barnes says. IS straight for some dis
lance and the motorman must have seen
ana recognized the presidents carriage
with its four white horses, some time be-
fore the crossing was reached. but in
stead OF Stopping or materially reducing
his speed. he came on at a rate that made
& impossible for him to stop when he saw
thar a collision was imminent.
The driver OF the presidents carriage on
the other hand, could hardly have had a
clear view Of the track at the point Of
crossing. as the outriders on either side
must nave obstructed it to some extent at
least.
among the PEOPLE who gathered at the
scene OF the disaster II was suggested
that the driver Of the presidents car
riage may have taken greater chances in
crossing the track than he usually would
have taken. He probably felt his import
snce as being the driver Of the presidents
ianoau and is reported to have refused
SLOW 10 allow another man take HIS place
for the day.
The newspaper correspondents. It is
learned, were about two miles ahead at
the time Of the accident. The drivers Of
tneir carriages had been directd TO take
tne direct road TO Lenox. following the
presidents carriage. At the last moment,
however. the president expressed a wish
20 call on Former Senator Dawes, and in
DONG so his carriage turned TO the right
sno was out Of sight before the correspon-
dents carriages were ready to proceed
Not KnOwing Of the presidents wish to
call at the Dawes residence. the cores
ponuents went on their way toward Lenox
@no only learned that the president was in
their rear when messengers were sent
aneau 10 apprise the people OF the acct
dent and request that there be no cheer
ing wnen the president arrived.
GOOD LUCK WITH YOU"
