In North Baltimore, where a camp
meeting was in progress, tree blew
over on the tent, causing it to fall. The
worshipers were buried under the can
vas, and one man was killed and many
hurt. 1t was along the water that the
greatest loss of life occurred. Being an
extremely warm day, the shore resorts
were literally patronized by pleasure
seekers. All of the fishing boats along
Middle and Black River were taken,
while Spring Gardens and adjacent Pa
tapsco streams were alive with pleasure
craft of every description.
When the storm came up, almost with
out warning boats were tossed about and
cries for help could be heard coming from
every direction. Tugs and steamboats,
put out to the rescue, but so thick was
the weather and so choppy the seas that
the efforts of the life savers proved futile
for a time. The vessels picked I'D dog
ems of survivors from capsized boats
The hurricane exhausted its fury in less
than fifteen minutes. 1t was in the resi-
dence portion of the city, along the river
front, and in the harbor, where the wind
spent its violence
The weather bureau reports that the
storm was more in the nature of a whirl-
wind than tornado. The wind blew at
the rate of sixty-four miles an hour. and
the rainfall was ffty-six one-hundredths

THE MING AND MS TRAPEZE.

This picture, drawn from cabled de-
scriptions and from descriptions furnish
ed by a physician. shows the apparatus
BIZ which King Edward, after undergoing
one of the seyerest operations known to
medical silence. and with a wound in
his abdomen four incfGs long and still
unhealed. moved himself around in his
bed by the strength of his own arms.
He changed his position many times with
in few hours after the trapeze had been
erected above his bed. and even raised
himself TO a sitting posture. The first time
the King moved himself, Queen Aiexan-
dra herself adjusted the pillows at his
back and, relieved by this change in posi-
ton. the King exclaimed, "Ah, that is
better
The trapeze consists Of two ropes sus-
pended from the ceiling above the Kings
bed. with rings at the end within easy
reach of the recunlbent patient. Some
times bar is fitted between the two
rings. The trapeze is especially useful
in such case as that of King Edward,
as it enables the patient to change his po-
sition with the least possible movement
to abdominal and back muscles.

Chicago Bookmakers Report Alleged
Theft from Safety Vault

THEFT from Safety Vault
The steel-barred vaults of the Masonic
Temple safety deposit vaults in the Ma
sonic Temple, Chicago, wre robbed of
more than S35. 900 between 7 o'clock Fri
day night and $3.50 Saturday morning,
according to the complaints of deposit
ors. The disappearance of the money is
one of the most mysterious in recent
years. The system of securing deposits
provides that there shall be three keys
to each boy One of these, held by the
Waterman, fits the outer boxes. The
other two are held by the deposit6r, eIe
fitting the outer box and the other the
inner receptacle.
The charge of loss of deposits was
made Saturday by the bookmakers, who
locked up their cash after returning from
the Washington Park race track Friday
evening. In addition to the $13,369 in
cash which George Rose declares was in
his box, there were two certificates of
deposit for $1,000 and these were gone
with the cash.
The bookmakers have been in the habit
of depositing their money at the vaults
every evening during the racing season
shortly after the close OF the days sport.
These deposits were usually made by the
cashiers of the different "bookies." some
of their employers not even having ac-
cess TO the boxes which are held in their
names.
Officials OF the deposit vault company
said Saturday afternoon that they did not
believe that any money had been stolen.
They explained that there is no possible
way by which the money could be taken
from the vault by others than those who
hold the keys for the boxes.
The police. after investigation, seemed
satisfied that the safety deposit boxes
were really robbed. as alleged by the
bookmakers, and they advanced the the

This truth of treachery is so well

the best of reasons for alarm. That

Now that Congress. the only power

1ourned. President Roosevelt is awfully
mad at the big combines and he Is go
ing to do terrible things. The simple
method Of dealing with the trusts was
pointed out not alone by Democratic
statesmen and newspapers, but by
many OF the ahlest Republicans and
Republican newspapers in the country,
but President Roosevelt was so busy
not listening that he failed to hear of
II, and so Congress escaped before the
proposed remedy could be forced be-
fore 1t for consideration. The remedy
proposed was to put all articles manu-

The Democrats Of the House of Rep

lining tue issues for the coming con-
gressionaI campaign, and upon the is
sues presented the Democracy ought
to be able to elect a majority of the
members Of the next House of Repre-

The Republican party is justly and
severely denounced for it's failure to
fulfill the pledges of the country to
grant relief to Cuba. The platform de-
'clares that "The bill which passed the
House of Representatives was heartily
supported by the Democratic minority
after the protection to the sugar trust
had Leen removed by the solid Demo
cratic vote, aided by a small minority
of the Republican members. AS ii
passed the House the bill carried relief
to Cuba, reduced the price of sugar to
American consumers and struck a
heavy blow at the notorious and OBJ
noxious sugar trust. The refusal of the
Republican Senators to consider this
measure unless the protection to the
sugar trust should be restored, gives
evidence that the President and Re
publican party in Congress are willing
to refuse relief to Cuba and totally ig
more American consumers rather than
abandon their alliance with the trusts
The failure of all reciprocity legisla-
ton with Cuba rests upon the Republi.
can administration, which Is willing
to reduce the duty on the raw sugar OF
our producers, but unwilling TO destroy
the sugar monopoly"

in Congress is dominated and con

country in their grasp. The Repub-
lican Congress has refused to pass an
antitrust bill, or to take any steps to
suppress trusts or to assist any anti
trust bin introduced by Democratic
members of Congress.
Trusts and the tariff and failure tc
relieve Cuba are the paramount issues

Nations Homo sacrificed.

The late session of Congress, acting
for the Republican party, made every
sacrifice demanded by the protected
interests"
Cuba and the national honor were
offered up to them.
And for the sake of the protected in
terests the people of the United States
are to have no protection from the
shoddy swindlers. Touch one protect
ed interest and all the protected inter
ests make its cause their own
So the Grosvenor bill was smorhered
in committee. Out of Difference to the
policy of protection the rogues who sell
shredded rags for wool are t. be per-
mitted to continue their cheating trade.
All the Grosvenor bill deIaanded was
that cloth made of shoddy should be
labeled and sold for what 1t is and not
as something else. But the counter
feiters declared that they would be
ruinca If compelled to be honest, and
they threw the usual threat to the
other protected interests: IF we are
meddled with we shall turn upon you
and see to 1t that you are also stripped
of protection" The threat was sue
cessful 1t always is. The Republican
party is in the grip of private interests.
Millions are invested in the shoddy
business. 1t has corrupted nearly the
whole cloth-making trade. Behind the
tariff fence it is found more profitable
to manufacture counterfeit than real
cloth. Hence the proposal to interfere
with shoddy alarmed one of the most
highly protected interests in the coun-
try. Though there was no attempt to
touch the tariff ON materials from
which shoddy is manufactured, the
fight in shoddy's behalf was waged by
tariff-sheltered eloth-makers.
No open argument could be offered
against the Grosvenor bill. It was OBJ
viously a simple measure to put stop
TO a fraud which has for its victims
the masses who cannot afford to buy
clothing made of imported cloth. Com
mon honesty has been given up to the
protected interests" along with the
national honor. Such are the inevita.
