BARK PROBABLY LOST
RELIEVED THAT THE TAFAELA
 HAS GONE DOWN.
Vessel Carried a Crew of Fifteen Men and Was of SRanish Register Bound from Brunswtelk, Ga,
 to Valencia.


 Philadelphia Nov. .-2l The British steamer Aros Castle. Captain Day. hf- ty-seven days out from Java, with a cargo of sugar. arrived at this port today and reported the probable foun- dering on November of the Spanish l bark Tafalla. with her crew of fifteen men, during the recent southern storm. Captain Day reported that shortly before daybreak on Sunday. November 13, during terrific gale. rockets were | sighted about 220 miles east of the Bermudas. The rockets were answered by flare lights from the Aros Castle. and the steamers course was changed in the direction of the rockets. The sea was running so high that the steamer could not safely go near the | distressed vessel and she lay to, wait ing for daylight. In the mean time the flare lights were kept burning to encourage the crew on the unknown vessel. After daybreak it was learned that the distressed vessel was the Ta- falla, 995 tons, Captain S. Roig. with a cargo of pitch pine from Brunswick. Ga, for Valencia. The storm was so great that no small boat could be sent to the assistance of the Tafalla and Captain Roig hoisted the following signal: Leaking six inches an hour Main pump broken. the smaller pump clogged. Men worn out"
 Captain Day signaled he would lay to until the storm abated. Toward noon. however. the captain of the British steamer decided to shoot a line to the bark. which he succeeded in do- ing after steaming his vessel danger ously near the bark. A hawser was fastened to the bark and slow prog ress was made in the turbulent sea Late in the afternoon the hawser snapped and the Spanish vessel again drifted helpIessly with water gaininr in the hold.
 Night came and Captain Day decided to stand by until morning. During the night the storm did not abate ana Captain Roig continued to send mn rockets and Captain Day to burn flare l lights so that they would not become separated.
 With daylight on Monday it was | esen that the bark was lower in the water, kt,. tiis British --ew could do nothing util the sea became calusr. because the only hawser on the vessel was the one that had been broken. Monday night the vessels were still | together and the rockets and flare lights were kept going. After a. m. Tuesday the crew of the Aros Castle oo" Ho LtiO' anu oai was udFk- hess. When daylight came not a sign of the Spanish bark could be seen on l the ocean and it is the belief of the | British crew that the vessel was ripped open by the tremendous waves and went down with all hands on board The fury of the storm was so great 1 Captain Day reports. that no small 1 boat could have safely rode the waves The Aros Castle for half a day steamed
 in all directions in hope of findins some trace of the vessel but saw noth. l The Tafalla, which formerly carried the name Ammina, was built in 1877.

WILL MAKE
 MANY CHANGES Roosevelt Intends tO Make
 Appointments.
POLICY OF THE PRESIDENT
Thinks Two Terms Enough
 for the Officeh0Idcrs.
There wiil be Exceptions to ahe Rule, But as a whole There win Be New
 Deal.

Washington. Nov. 20---( Special l--- Federal office holders who were ap- pointed by President Mckinley will pretty generally have to step down and out at the expiration of their second four years service. That now seems to be accepted as an indication for the policy which will distinguish the new Roosevelt administration There will of course be exceptions. two of which have been indicated Secretary John Hay and Secretary James Wilson, of the State and Agricultural Departments respectively. will be retained 1dr. Roosevelt, 1t Is said. will make changes in all cases, except where new appoint ments would not serve the public in- terest. deeming 1t we'll enough that his example of declining a third term should be emuiated by other ctiice- holders.
 This understanding has caused no iit- tie of a fiutter In high official circles. and as soon as 1t goes about over tho country, 1t Is expected there will be q great influx of ofice holders seeking to hang on and of the others seeking places to be vacated.
 To Urge Revision.
 It is announced upon what seems to be excellent authority that President Roosevelt will send special message to Congress urging tariff revision. The message will appear probably in De- cember, and will prepare the way for . call of an extra session for that pur- pose. Revenue considerations, are exc pected to make revision necessary, even though the pressure for read- justment of schedules can be withstood.
 Governor Albert B. Cummins of Iowa. Governor Samuel R. yansant of Min- nesota and E. H. Bacon Of Milwaukee, chairman of the Interstate Commerce Associations National Convention, held in St. Louis a few days ago. called upon President Roosevelt this morning and presented series of resolutions adopt cd by that convention asking Congress to increase the powers of the Interstate Commerce Commission. so that the body would have control over railroad rates. with power to fix maximum charges. It was thought that Gov ernor Robert M Lafollette of Wiscon- sin. would accompany the party to Washington. but illness prevented him.
 LafOlIette sends a Note.
 They presented a note from Governor Lafollette to the President urging the asked for legislation. The idea in pre- senting the resolutions to President Roosevelt at this time is to have him advocate in his coming message to con- gress the passing of such legislation Governor vansant is the original anti merger man. Governor cummfns comes from a State where a commission regu- lates railway charges and his succeed ed in cutting down the rates, Tn Wla- consin. Governor Lafo1lette Is making fight for just such commission
 President Roosevelt took the matter under advisement. TariH revision ia afan ona of tha net fdeaa ssf fsnsyor,.r,s. Cummtns. and he put in an oar with the President to have this matter also urged upon Congress. Governor Cum mins believes that an extra session of Congress should be held.

 Received.

, Berlin. Nov. 21.-President Roose- velt's speech at Washington Saturday on the occasion of the unveiling of the bronze statue of Frederick the Great ana the attendant ceremonies have pIeased Germany. Reports of extra ordinary length for the German press were cabled including the speeches of the President and of Ambassador sternberg. Leading articles express ing appreciation of Mr. Roosevelt's ut terances appear in most of the news naners today. The semi-oflcial North German Gazette, which may be taken in this instance as represent ting gen. eraI opinion, says:
 "In Germany the celebration and particularly President RooseYeIts ad- dress will leave a lasting impression. . The profound insight of the President as historian did justice to the per sonality of the great king and general and described his heroic and unwearled aalf~aaerifce for a great political Idea.

fills us in Germany with warm sympa- thy. We fully understand the position that the President as a clear-minded statesman. assigns to the United States in its political relationship to the va rious European nations. whose emil grants for three centuries have found home beyond the ocean and there have been blended into one indivisible whole. which as a thoroughly specific individuality Is making Itself felt moro and more on the worlds stage.
 "our people and the American na- tion are really not rivals. On the oth- CT hand they supplement each other in moro than one salutary direction.

ALL RUSHED FOR
TEACHERS CLOAK
BILLY BRASH IN REAL LIFE AT
SHERIDAN SCHOOL.
One Boy Made a Hit by Carrying Out
! the Teachers Wrap and at the
4 Next Alarm Small Boys Fought for
the Privilege.

: An ambition on the part Of several
small boys to be heroic nearly caused
q jam during one Of the fire drills at
the Sheridan school last week.
The pupils were notified early IN
the morning that there would be a
4drill and it was taken as a matter Of
fact. AS soon as the gong sounded,
one Of the more thoughtful boys In
y the third grade grabbed his teachers
fur cloak and took it with, him to the
school yard. Here he found himself
the center of admiration of the boys,
while the girls declared him to be the
hero Of the school.
In the middle Of the afternoon, a
bad boy, who refuses to go to school,
came into the building and gave the
fire gong six vigorous pulls and then
ran. The pupils were on their feet in a
second and started out in the usual
order. This drill, however, furnished
a rare opportunity to other would-be
heroes, and in five of the middle grade
rooms there was a general rush for
the teachers cloak. The doors were
blocked, while the boys fought for
( the possession of the garment and it
was necessary for the several teach
ers to select an official cloak bearer
before the rooms could be. cleared.
This delayed the upper floor classes
and the record for emptying the
building was the slowest since the
schools first began the practice.
Immediately after the drill, the
principal Of the school visited all of
the rooms and selected an alert boy
who should have the honor of saving
the teachers cloak at every fire drill.

WILL DISCUSS
FIRE ORDINANCE
- AA~ " AS~~ = - 80 ~ ~ -
SPECIAL COUNCIL COMMITTEE,
WILL HEAR ALL SIDES
Invitations to All Interested to Attend
Committee Meeting Wednesday at
3 %. m. Are Sent Out-What Build
ing Inspector Says Of His Proposed
Ordinance.

. City Clerk Lydiard, at the sugges-
zion of Building Inspector Houghton,
has sent out invitations to ameeting of
the special council committee at 8 p.
rn.. Wednesday to consider the new
building ordinance.
The special committee consists of
Aldermen A. S. Adams, Lane, S. E.
Adams, Rand. Dwyer, Powers, Holmes
and Westphal. Mr.. Houghton desires
the committee to hear directly from
those most affected by the ordinance,
including local theater managers,
halls and other public halls, embers
of church boards architects and in
vestOrs. .r..r
"In framing this ordinance" said
Mr.. Houghton this morning, II have
tried to provide for a system of con-
troll over the construction and man.
agement Of public or semipublic build
ings that will insure the maximum Of
safety. But have not figured on an
ordinance so radical that it will never
be obeyed and will either be fought
openly or ignored quietly.
I'm spite Of my conservatism this
ordinance will be more radical than
many will approve Of. It provides, for
instance, that all side exits from the
aters must be between the foyer and
the boxes, SO that they may be in plain
sight. Many of the exits in Mime
apol1s playhouses are now hidden be-
hind the boxes. 1t also provides that
all main exits must be opposite the
stage, that cards and red lights shall
| be over every side exit and that no
other red lights shall be in the house.
Then there is provision that all doors
4 Of a theater shall open outward
I. 1t is also known that the new or
! dinance contemplates the practical
! flreprooflng Of all churches seating
more than 1000; that there shall be
nothing between the auditorium Of the
theater and the street except the busi-
ness offices Of the theater and the
exits, and that at least. three sides
Of a theater building shall not be
, touched by another building above the
first story.
