PhysIoue Argument FaiIs.

At . recent examination Of appli-
cants for positions on the police force
In New York 50 per cent were re-
jected rs physically UNFIT. The Rev.
Edward Everett Hale and the Rev.
Lyman Abbott insist that women
should not be allowed to vote because
they cannot serve on the police force.
II this Is sound logic. then should not
the above 30 per cent Of physical in
competents be disfranchised?

Russia to be examined near Katow In
an endeavor to find %easur which Is
said to be valued at upward of $15,-

cast into the river by the famous bri-
gand Stenkay Razynin. The story goes
that, pursued by Cossacks, the brigand

gold and jewels, accumulated during a

Marinette, Wis, Oct. 6. - During a

drowned. The Goodrich line steamer
Sheboygan rescued the other nine
persons on board the Hackley after
they had fioated about on pieces Of
wreckage all night. Report of the dis
aster reached Marinette yesterday.
The Hackley was struck by the
squall when even miles off Green ISL

away before the men could reach a
haven. The boat then turned over and
went down in deep water.

Seized on Floating Pieces
of w~reckage. while the women and
three or four of the men, failing to
find any object to which to cling,
sank in the raging sea, so far as is
known. The waves were rolling high
and several of those who at first saved
themselves from immediate death
lost strength and sank. 1t was several
hours after the Hackley sank before
the Sheboygan hove within hailing dis
lance. The shouts of the floating men
attracted the attention of the sailors
on the Sheboygan and every as
sistance was lent. The officers of the
Sheboygan feel sure that they took
aboard every person aioat. Some of
the persons who were rescued say 1t is
possible that one or % Of the
Eleven Persons Missing
may have escaped death. This view is
not given much credence by the sail
ors Of the Sheboygan. The Sheboygan
made into Fish Greek when hope OF
rescuing other persons seemed i'm.
probable. The rescued persons were
so exhausted from their struggle
against drowning that they were un-
able for some time to tell anything
about the wreck. The persons saved
by the Sheboygan say that with the
crashing away of the upper work all
persons aboard the Hackley ran on
deck. Hasty preparations for a plunge
into the water were begun but before
any plans could be carried out the
boat listed, turned over and went
down like a rock. Search is still max
ing for any person who may have es.
capped death and for the bodies Of
those who were drowned.

This Is About One-Third Of the Regu-

Minneapolis, Oct. 4.-The stationary
engineers employed in two of the
-four mills affected by the strike went
out at 4 O'Clock yesterday afternoon.
The chief engineers at these mills re-
manned and the owners say that the
waikout will not affect the status or
the strike in the least. The official
figures of the -four shipments from tho
railroads continue to show al increase
but the strikers declare that the mills
have now reached their limit. In con
nection with the shipments it is being
claimed that some Of the -four is being
sent to the mills at Buffalo to be re-
bolted. but no confirmation Of this re-
port can be obtained. The strikers
say also that the flour, which Is not up
to grade, is not being sent to the reg
ular trade. The mill owners. however.
still maintain that while they are rum
ming short, that the flour Is standard
grade. They say that tie strike has
had no effect at all on the quality. Ac-
cording to the caterer who Is serving
the men working in the mills there are
about $50 mill men at work. There
are between 1,7G0 and 1900 out on the
strike. Thus it will be seen that the
mills are running with about one-third
the usual force.
