SCHOONER WILL LBE IOTALL LOSS
A Three Master Went Ashore Early To-Day Near Chatham

The Crew Was Taken Off in the
 Breaches Buoy-sailors, Who Were
 NegEoes. Were Said To Be Under the
 Influence of Liquor-The Captain, q
 White Man, Stuck to the Schooner
 to the Last
 Chatham, Mass, Sept, 1S.-The three -masted schooner Dora Mathews of New York bound from Newbury- port, to New York city, went ashore at 1 o'clock this morning on Logwood Hill bar off Chatham and will be q total loss The captain and crew of seven men were taken off in the breaches buoy.
 Considerable mystery is attached to the circumstances surrounding the loss of the vessel According to the state ments of the crew who freely discussed the wreck after they had been rescued by the men of the Monomoy lifeesav1ng station. the sailors had been using liquor since the time the steamer left Newburyport and from these remarks the life savers concluded that the con- ditions on board the schooner were out of the ordinary. All the seven men who constituted the crew are negroes, the only white man on board, having been Captain Bonsey. Although the crew were removed from the ship shortly a. cer she went ashore, Captain Bonsey refused to leave his vessel at the time. There was constant danger that the schooner would go to pieces, but it was not until 8 o'clock this morn ing that the captain left his ship. He stated that he did not care to abandon her until he became assured that she would almost certainly be a total wreck Captain Bonsey refused to say anything in regard to the allegations of some of his men as to the conditions existing on board previous to her run ming ashore.

 Denver, Colo, Sept 1s.-Forest fires are sweeping bare of timber sections Of the Rocky Mountains from the Wy oming line to Central Colorado. The fires are spreading with terrible ra- pidity and conditions are more seri- ous now than at any time since the first fire was reported about a month ago. Government inspectors and for est brigades are doing all in their DOW CT to check the progress of the flames and are receiving all possible assist ance from ranchers and mining meiI In some places the fires have been checked but not subdued. The great CT portion of them. however. have gained such headway that. with tie limited force of fire fighters and other means at hand, the government off cials can see but little hope of success must necessarily allow them to burn themselves out. New fires are re- Iorted daily.

BANK EXAMINER IN CHARGE
Closed the Doors of Syracuse
 Bank To-Day.

Trouble Caused By Notes of a Com
 pany Which Failed Week Ago
 The Examiner Will Issue a State
 ment As Soon As Possible and Give
 the Banks Business to Some Other
 Concern Rather Than Have a Re
 ceiver Appointed.
 Syracuse, N. Y.. Sept 1S.-Chief Bank Examiner George s. Leonard, this morning, under directions from Superintendent of Banks Kilburn, took charge of the New York State Banking company and closed it's doors. The bank is in trouble owing to notes of the Onondaga Dynamo company of this city which failed last week. Pres ident R. A. Bonta said: 'It is im- to the public at this time. The bank has experienced large and unexpected losses; but the action of Superintend- ent Kilburn is surprise to me"
 Examiner Leonard said he thought it would be possible within AS hours to issue statement which would show the banks condition. He eX- poets to be able to have another bank take up the business rather than to put the bank in receivers hands. The last statement of the bank issued on September 9th showed resources $67G,- 761, liabilities $620, ,633, surplus of S20,- GOO and undivided profits of $36,000. The capital is $100,000.

Il PASSION IN rArrERs.

IN G o e does not know much if
anything. about kindergartens editorial
or otherwise. The Dispatch does. It is SO
STEPPED in knowledge of the kind that it
is unwilling to admit that anyone else
with whom it chooses to disagree knows
anything at all.
The immediate case in point is that of
State Superintendent Olson That official
expressed his views publicly on the sub
iect OF the Kindergarten as a department
Of public instruction. They evidently did
not suit the pedagogic expert of our con-
temporary. Mr.. Olson, accordingly, has
to submit to seeing himself displayed in
print as an object of public scorn and
rldichle Indeed if the statements re-
garding him to which the paper is COM
mitted could be regarded seriously, the
reader Of them must, as consequence of
them, believe that the state of Mime
sofa has chosen as its state superintend-
ent Of education an insulting terror ana
ignoramus, whom it picked up in some
out-of-the-way place, and who knows lit
tie about his profession and less about
the amenities of decent society.
If Supt. Olson We're less than a self
sustained and self-respecting public Off
cial the Dispatch would be skirmishing
around about this time for an easy way
cut of a libel suit Being that much and
more, Mr.. Olson silently leaves our con-
temporary and it's expert to slash around
undisturbed, inventing each succeeding
day some new occasion for flashing them
selves into state of inane rage.
So far as we can learn about what is
the matter with our friend and contemp-
porary it is that Supt Olson is no wor-
SHIPPER of the kindergarten fad He thinks
that the average mama is the boss kin
dergarmer, and says so.
Hence it happens that our contempo-
rary and its expert have also discovered
in supt. Olson thoroughly depraved
monster who thinks that every St. Paul
mother who sends her child to the kin
dergarten is one of the submerged

TRUTH MUST BE TOLD
CONGRESS SUSPICIOUS OF PHILIP
PINE SITUATION
Senator HOar's Resolution Will BE
the Cause of Bringing Out the In
side Facts Touching Adminis-
tratiOn of InsuIar Affairs
FROM THE GLOBE BUREAU,
Washington, ID. C.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 19-Evidently
congress is anxious to learn the truth
about the alleged friction between the
military and civil authorities in the Phil
ippines. While the Republican members
of the senate respectfully disagree with
the general view Of the situation taken
by Senator Haor, and voiced by him
this week in speaking of his resolution
calling for an investigation by a com
mittee of seven senators, they do believe
light ought to be thrown on a good
many questions, and the Philippine COM
mittee, which has the resolution, will no
doubt be called on to supply a vast
amount of information as the general
debate progresses.
1t is a fact that the army officers do
not take an optimistic view of the out
look in the islands, while the memb
of the Taft commission have been in
clned to paint the situation in some
what rosy colors. The deep down i'm
preston here is that not much progress
has been made IN the effort to establish
a civil government. Men who have had
the best facilities for seeing and hearing
are impressed with tne conviction that
cept the sovereignty of the United States
than they were when Aguinaldo was
leading them in battle
Having visited the islands twice since
American occupation, Senator Beverfdge
is naturally conspicuous in the deIibera-
tons of the Philippine committee. He
does not intend to make a speech on
the tariff bill, but when the general
affairs of the islands come up for con-
sideration later he viii probably be

at Robert and Wabasha Streets have
been rescued from the dangerous and d.
lapidated condition into which they had
been allowed to fall in the pursuit of
false public economy, and the latter of
them substituted by new and adequate
structure
These improvements may or may not be
advanced as evidence of Democratic ex-
travagance during the coming city cam
paign. If they arc not, it will be largely,
if not entirely, because Of the awful OBJ
ject lesson which the accomplishment of
the county jail project presents. Whether
they are or not, it remains to be said that
enlightened public sentiment is daily de-
manding all over the country revision,
il not a reversal, of the false notion that
Indebtedness for necessary public i'm
provements is in itself to be condemned.
Indeed so prominent municipal re-
former as A. Bird Coler, the former
comptroller of New York city in an ar
ticle in the last number of the Annals of
Ehe American Academy, goes to the
length of urging the repeal of the con-
stitutional inhibition which exists in most
states against cities mourning indebted
ness in excess of a given percentage of
taxable property
It is the duty of every enlightened citi-
zen to aid in putting aside this sham
idea of economy, and in every reasonable
way to promulgate the idea that. the city
which does not keep pace with the prog
ress of urban improvement is dead one.
In no city in the country is there a great

last decade in which women have come
forward and established more or less
clearly their right to be considered the
wives of deceased gentlemen of property
to the great scandal Of all concerned.
The law enacted by the New York legis-
lature provides that to get any recogni-
ton in court marriage must be record
ed. 1t is not provided that the marriage
must be solemnized by any particular
person, but that a marriage-civil, &c
clesiastical or common law-must be
matter of record.
The object of the law is twofold: 1t.
protects women against the lying
promises of men who may seek to es-
tablish improper conpanionshfp and urge
that the fact of living together gives the
women the sanction Of a formal mar
riage, and it will also protect men
against women who may assert the right
of wife by reason Of such companions
ship. Best of all. it will protect the bona
fide widows and orphans of wealthy men
from the post norton efforts Of adven-
turesses to blackmail them out of large
slices of the estate of the departed hus-
band and father.
Publicity of the marriage contract will
prove great Encouragement to black

it has had for six years, and the people

The street corner blackguardism which
the Pioneer Press yesterday served so
plentifully as Sunday reading matter will
not make it otherwise. Neither will the
campaign literature which Comptroller
McCardy has published and is circulating
at the city's expense in the form of an
official report.
