Common People Have Rights.

Apprehension is felt at Washington
that congress may have to adjourn on
account of the fuel famine. Coal that
was contracted for to be delivered dur
ing the fall mouths remains undeliver-
ed. The coal companies are disinclin-
ed to ship coal southwark while the
demand from the North is SO pressing.
The fuel famine will be felt keenly at
Washington in case the weather
should continue unusually cold for any
length OF time. There is very little
coal at the national capital. This is
not altogether a public misfortune, so
long as it doesn't reach the calamity
point. 1t may have a tendency to re-
mind members of congress Of the
plight the country is in as a result of
an indefenSible and reprehenSible dis
regard of the public interest. For
months and months the interests and
rights of the great mass of people
the general public-have been wholly
ignored. Only the miners and the
operators were considered parties to
the controversy. The present aspect
of the fuel situation "a serve as a re-
minder that some other people have
rights that need to be taken into &C
count.-SOuth Bend Times.

The One Cent Oil RAISE,

The people are making John d.
Rockefeller a nice Christmas present
by the raise in price of one cent a gal
Ion in kerosene oil. The whole
amount OF the gift is $50, 600, 900, of
which Mr.. Rockefeller gets the great
er share. He seems to appreciate the
peoples generosity, though, and gives
much of this great sum back to be
used for educational purposes.
Maybe this is a way the oil magnate
has, come to think, of compelling the
people of the country to contribute to-
wards a good cause. Well, if such is
the case, the money is not wholly
wasted. vet the people do not care to
be forced into giving in this kind of
style. They like to make their dona-
lions voluntarily and first hand

Reasons for a Reign oil Terror.

The testimony of nonunion miners,
showing the outrages committed by
union men upon those who are
not members of the union, is not
pleasant reading: yet, if half of it is
true, there must have beeu a reign Of
terror in some portions of the anthra-
cite territory. No doubt Mr.. Mitchell
and his associates did their utmost to
preserve the peace, but with 150, 600
idle men, embracing thousands of very
ignorant people, violence and crimes
against life and property were un-
ayoidable. That, however, is no ex-
cuSe. The unions are not response
BILE except SO far as they did not use
their influence to prevent it. But
while union men may be held respon-
sible for the outrages of the past few
months the mine operators are not en-
tirely gu~iltleSS, since years ago it was
their policy, whenever there was a
strike, to import ignorant foreigners
to take the places Of strikers. In time
these foreigners struck and their
places were filled by other and more
ignorant and naturally vicious for
eigners. Thus the mine operators are
largely responsible for the class of
men who are charged with the out
RACES now being related to the COM
Observation-Disclosures Journal.

ANOSTARV|NG
fen Members Of the Crews Of
Two Schooners Which Went
Down After Collision.
ELEVEN HAD GONE TO The BOTTOM
Survivors Were Eighty-four Hours
Without Food or Water in
the Bitter Cold.

Boston, Dec. 23.-AlmOSt crazed from
less, ten men in a boat were picked up
by the schooner Manhasset Sunday,
forty-fve miles off Highland light
Then for the first time it was learned
that the schOoners Frank A. Palmer
and Louise d. Crary had been in col
lision, and that they had been sunk
off Thatcher's island on Wednesday
evening. The survivors were landed
here yesterday. OF the t~wenty-one men
who made up the two crews six were
carried down when the two vessels
sank. four died during the terrible
three days drift in Massachusetts, bay
and another became insane and jumped
overheard.
Names OF the Men Who Died.
With no food or water, their clothes
frozen in solid masses and their boat
being steadily driven before a bitter
gale out into the Atlantic, it seems re-
markable that so many survived. The
roster of dead follows: Crew Of the
Louise b. Crary@J. +. Smith, mate,
Portland, Me-; w. H. Rowland, en-
gineer; Hans Blank, German seaman;
David Shanahan. Newfoundland; Au-
gust Johnson. Swede; Olaf Berg, Nor
wegian; Peter Lache, South American;
unknown eaman
Crew of the Palmer-Franz Banta,
Finland; Edward ~Jorgesen, Norway;
Albert Spearling, Philadelphia.
No Time to Secure Food.
When the vessels collided 1t was
seen instantly that there was no hope
for either vessel. Most of the small
boats were smashed, and some of the
men killed by the collision, but others
of both crews " quick work launched
the long-boat of the Palmer, into which
clambered the captains of both vessels
and thirteen others. There was no a
moment for storing food or water in
the boa and the rowers had propelled
it only a short distance from the
schooners when the Palmerw went down.
Three minutes later the Crary disap-
peared.
Starved for Eighty-Four Hours.
Without food and water, drenched to
the skin, spray freezing to their gar
ments, the fifteen survivors underwent
sufferings indescribable. -Four men Of
the Crary on Friday lay down in the
bow Of the boat and that night died.
Elevenremained up till Saturday night,
when Franz Banta went insane under
the delusion that his mother beckoned
to him and he walked into the sea-. The
others were powerless to restrain him.
They were a1oat three and q half days
before they were picked up.

RESPONSIBILITY FOR YOUR WIFE

Radke, wife Of August Radke. was
driving a wagon loaded with butter.
eggs, and other produce In Michigan
City, when the wagon knocked down
Louis Schlundt. a street cleaner, and
ran over him. Schlundt sued the hus-
band for damages for personal injuries,
and a jury awarded a judgment Of
$575 against both husband and wife.
The appellate court has reversed the
Laporte circuit court, and Judge LACK.
In the opinion, sets out the legal prin-

I'VE are Of the opinion that where
the wife IL engaged In the use Of her
husbands personal property in the per-
Torrance Of her duty as a wife, in
domestic service for herself and fami-

FAvoRS CONVICT LABOR
State GeoloSist Would Have Prisoners
Make Paving Brick.

WIS. Blatchley, state geologist, is
planning to ask the next legislature
for an appropriation sufficient to en-
ploy a specialist to investigate road
materials-o Indiana.
Mr.. Blatchley, in conversation with
some of the members of the commit
tee appointed by the governor to adj
wise on plans to solve the convict la
Dor problem, to purchase shale land
over coal, have bricks to build a pris-
on made by conyicts under guard;
then, after the prison is built, put 500
convicts at work making brick to be
used on the public roads of Indiana.
His plan is to have the brick bought
of the state by the township trustees,
county commissioners and municipal
authorities. In bis opinion it Is prac-
ticable and economical to pave the
principal country roads with brick.
The scheme would involve the estab-
lishment of another prison, or the re-
moval of one already established to a
part Of the state where good brick
materials are to be found.
