dirt. rubbish. filth. old boxes and paper

Two thirds of the delegates TO the
State convention are for Richard olney
for the Democratic presidential nomina-
tion and yet it was only about ten days
ago that Hearst's newspaper correspon-
dents were sending reports all over the
country from Boston that ne would car
ry the Bay State, even. if he had to de-
vote a big expenditure of money to do
so, Massachusetts has started the re-
action of the Hearst tidal wave and the
tide is expected now to ebb very fast
and by the time for the convention ar
rives Hearst will probably conclude from
the landslide against him that he was
not really candidate in tine first place.
In this connection, 1t is fair to state that
Democratic papers with reasonable moral
tone and a good conception of true
American government have never had
any faith in Hearst and have done such
this year to persuade the people that he
is not fit man to occupy the presiden-
tial chair.

Forfeitures of Collateral.

James Doyle.a groeeryman in business at

defendant in the District branch of the
Police Court today on charge of violating
the weights and measure law. He failed to
appear for trial, preferring to forfeit SIS
collateral The Information filed against
Doyle alleged that he used pair of scales
in his business which did not conform to
the standard required by law.
John H. Franklin forfeited $50 rather
than stand trial on a charge of carrying a
revolver. The charge was filed on COM
plant of Policeman McTaggart.
A forfeiture of SO was noted in the case
of William A. Kelly, who failed to appear
to answer to a charge of disorderly con-
duct Charles E. Matthews forfeited half
that amount on charge of similar char
acter.
william Britt, in business at the corner of
32d and M streets northwest, forfeited IS
on a charge of selling cream not up to the
standard required by law.
Charges of selling milk below the stand

A cablegram from Aberdeen, Scotland,
last night says: Another boat load con-
tanning seventeen survivors Of the ILL
fated Danish steamer Norge, which foun-
dered off Rockall reef, POO miles from the
Scottish mainland, on June %, were
landed at Aberdeen. Scotland tonight by
the steam trawler Largo Bay. Six hun
dred and twenty-seven persons are still
missing.
The contingent now being cared for at
Aberdeen consists of twelve passengers,
the third mate of the Norge. the quarter
master, the steward, lamp trimmer and
one of the crew. They drifted at the
mercy of the Atlantic for six days
When both water and food were gone.
and when the occupants were almost too
exhausted even to hope, the trawler hove
in sight. This was on July 4, when the
boat was about thirty miles OF st. Kill
dau.
Those rescued had eked out an exist
ence on two biscuits per day. When they
started from the Inflated ship there was
only one small cask of fresh water in the
boat. Before the Largo Bay fell in with
them this and the biscuits had been fin
ished, and the pangs of hunger had set in.
They weathered gale and continued as
best they might, striving to reach the
coast of Scotland against heavy seas.
From strips Of life belts they constructed
q crude sail. The men had scarcely
strength enough to hold the oars.
When the survivors were dragged on
board the trawier the fishermen were
obliged to forcibly prevent them from
eating and drinking too much.

Many of those rescued have severe
wounds. sustained in jumping from the
decks Of the sinking ship. The legs and
arms of others are swollen from exposure
and from the salt water. On their arrival
at Aberdeen the survivors were taken to
the Sailors Home.
The third mate states that three other
boats started with that rescued by the
ty-two persons. including several women
and children. Another boat had fifteen
men, with the second mate In charge The
