the legislature he was chronically

crisp greenbacks. Some of his friends
"jollied" him about his prosperity.

SWIFT PASSES ON
PIONEER PACKER DIES FROM
SURGICAL. OPERATION.
WOUNDS BLEED INTERNALLY
Hemorrhages Continue for Several
Days, Producing Death at Last-The
Vast Business He Built Up and De-
veioped.

CHICAGO-Gustavus Franklin Swift,
president OF the Swift Packing COM
pany, died at his home. 1913 Ellis ave-
nue., early Sunday, of internal hemor-
rhages, resulting from a surgical oper-
alton performed several days ago. Mr..
Swift was GO years old.
The hemorrhages resulted from an
operation for an Infection of the gall
bladder, performed March %. He had
given every indication OF recovery and
all danger was considered passed. In
fact, so hopeful was everyone, includ-
ing himself. that his son. Herbert l..
Swift, who had been summoned from
Boston, left on Saturday night to re-
turn to the east. This son was inter
cepted at Harrisburg, Pa, by a tele-
gram announcing his fathers death.
Mr.. Swift had been suffering for
some time with bladder trouble and a
week ago an operation IVES determin-
ed upon to give him relief. 1t was not
expected that the operation would
prove especially dangerous.
Gustavus Franklin Swift began his
business career as a butcher and died
leaving a fortune estimated at from
$1,000, 900 to $40, OOO, 900. This fortune
vas made in forty-tve years. He was
born at Sandwich, Mass, in June, 1889.
He opened a small butcher ship in his
native town, but removed to Boston
when he was less than 80. where he
remained until 1875, coming then to
Chicago.
In that city he engaged IN the same
business and developed the department
of shipping live cattle TO eastern
markets. In 1877 he evolved plans for
the first refrigerating car and dressed
meats, instead of live animals, were
shipped to eastern cities. He was the
pioneer in this kind Of business and it
was not long before others saw the
advantages of his method and initiated
him.
Mr.. Swift was not only the Oldest
packer" at the time of his death, but
was the originator of the method
that made many large fortunes. From
the small plant started in 1877 has de-
veloped a great corporation with
branches in st. Louis, Kansas City,
st. Joseph, Omaha, st. Paul and Fort
Worth, Texas, and with distributing
offices in every important city and
town in the United States, and with
representatives in the leading cities of
Europe, Asia and Africa. Its employees
number 22,607. Upon its capital stock
of S25, OOO, 900 the sales of 1902 ex-
ceeded $500, OOO, 900.
Mr.. Swift was the father of eleven
children, nine of whom survive him;
Louis F., Edward F., Helen L., wife OF
Edward Morris; Charles H, Herbert
L., George H., Ruth NJ. wife Of Ernest
E. Eversy; Gustavus Franklin, jr., and
Harold H., all of whom live in Chicago.
MI. Swift trained all of his sons in
the packing business. His oldest son,
Louis f.. Swift, is vice president of the
company and all the other sons hold
responsible positions in it.

n PHILIPPINES.
Senator Dietrich Talks on the
Question.

HASTINGS. Neb.-Senator Dietrich
arrived in this city from Washington
Thursday night and took up his quar-
ters at the Bostwick hotel. His bust
ness interests demand that he remain
here for some time. Speaking OF the
Philippine islands, the senator said:
My opinion regarding the Philippine
situation does not vary from those de-
livered in the senate on February Is.
| advocate now, as / did then, that
there should be i~naugurated a syc
TEN of protection which will further
the growth and development of the
interests of the islands. This has par
ticular application TO such industries
as do not and cannot compete with
similar industries in the United States.
AS to the Philippine tariff bill, will
say that | am sorry it did not pass,
though the reason for its failure is
easy to understand. Had there been
an investment of American capital
made in these islands as is now in
Cuba, there is no question, in my
mind. that more strenuous efforts
would have been put forth and that the
passing of the bill would have re-
suited. To me this is unquestionable
proof that the interest manifested in
behalf of Cuba was purely m~ercernary,
fathered by those who have much
capital invested in that island. Talk
about sympathy with distress and
moral obligation! Nonsense, Why,
American occupation of Cuba that
there has existed there one-tenth the
poverty and distress which at this
moment exists in portions of the Phil
ippine islands, yet neither press nor
people are heard to cry out because of
these undesirable conditions"
Mr.. Dietrich said that he had not
considered the Nebraska revenue bill
with sufficient minuteness to express
an opinion, but in regard to Nebraska
affairs he expressed his regret that a
generous appropriation had not been
made for the establishing of an ex-
perimental farm in the western pOr-
ton of the state. Conditions there
have Independent characteristics
which demand particular attention for
their proper development. There is
nothing in the power of the legisla-
ture to do which can add more to The
material welfare of the state than the
establishment of such a farm.

Wife-James, you are positively

After he had gone, Mrs. Adams pro-
posed a walk in the lovely garden,
and Hyde hoped then to obtain a few
words with her. But Mrs. Smith ac-
companied them, and Hyde found no
opportunity to get a word in on his
own affairs, and then, suddenly, as
they turned into the main avenue,
Doctor Moran and Cornelia appeared.

so that Hyde was compelled to escort

New York, Nov. 5.-After being
dashed to the stump of a mast Tor
forty-eight hours and without fresh
water for three days, Captain Ca
brielsen and nine of the crew of the
waterlogged schooner John w. Lin
nell, have reached this port aboard
the Italian ship Gabriel Dali.
Notwithstanding their pEivations,
the shipwrecked mariners are not
suffering from any serious i'll effects.
The Linnell left Fernandina on
October 18th and on the Oath plunged
into a terrific gale. Owing to the
heavy sea running, Captain Gabriel
sen reefed his light sails. The next
day the wind blew a hurricane and
it was found the schooner was leak
ing.
The wrecking pumps were started,
but proved of no avail and in a short
time there was six feet of water in
the hold. The big seas had smashed
the small boats and ruined the tanks
holding the fresh water. The sailors
plight was made more desperate by
the fear that the vessel would turn
turtle. To prevent this, the masts
were cut away and the crew dashed
themselves to n of the stumps.
The vessel was awash with the ex-
ception of the top of the afterdeck
house, and the sailors suffered terri
bly, from lack of food and water.
The waves broke over them contin-
nally.
On the 26th> the schooner was
deeper in the water and the gale con-
Einued with undiminished velocity.
On the afternoon of the 9th, Cap
tain Gabrielsen attracted che atten-
ton of the lookout on the Gabriel
Dali, and after a hazardous trip the
Linnell's men were transferred from
the sinking hulk to the Dali.
The vessel was abandoned in lati-
tude 3O.16, longitude 1921 by dead
reckoning, and later was reported
by the schooner Advent, which ar
rived at Vineyard Haven November
