GEORGIA IS LAUNCHED.
Battleship Glides Into the Water With
Steam Up.

Battle, Me, Oct. 1.-THE battles1fip
Georgia was launched at :53 p. m. to-
day.
Excursionists from all sections of
Maine had come to witness the launch
ing and the party entertained by the
officials of the company included Cover
nor Joseph NJ. TerriIl of Georgia, Con-
gresham F. Carter Tate, Mrs. Tate,
Miss Stella Tate and others of Georgia.
Miss Tate in her duties as sponsor
also had personal supervision of the
launching. A method somewhat differ
ent from the usual one of releasing the
hull by severing a cord was employed
today when sawyers standing beneath
the vessel severed the monstrous shoe
pieces with croSS-cut saws and the yes
sci was started towards the water.
AS the battleship began to move
Miss Tate broke a bottle of champag gne
across the bow naming the craft in
honor of her own state, and as the stern
parted the surface of the Kennebec the
Georgia was saluted by numerous craft
and manufacturing plants along the
shore, all of which were acknowledged
by her siren and whistle, as the battls-
ship was launched with steam up. Both
military masts were in position, as well
as the coming tower and the tn zoe
smoke tunnels, which gave the vessel
more the appearance of a completed bat
tleship than any previously launched.
Following the launching luncheon
was served.

POISON IN WHISKY.
Saloonkeeper Held on Suspicion OF
Causing Many Deaths.

New York, Oct. 11.-Rudolph Frit-
sche, who keeps a little saloon at 723
Tenth avenue, is in custody, charged
not only with being a suspicious pre-
son, but the police assert that in his
saloon. it is suspected, whisky was sold
which contained poison, and that this
whisky is responsible for the many
deaths that have occurred in the
neighborhood recently.
Investigation of the numerous
deaths in the neighborhood during the
past two weeks showed that nearly all
those who had died suddenly were
customers of this place which is desig-
mated as a barrel house." Fritsche
was admitted to bail. but the police
have closed his place.
Twenty-Five persons living in the vi
cinity, all of them of middle age, have
died within the past two weeks. The
symptoms were in the main identical.
They were characterized by the attend
ant physicians in all cases as those of
alcoholism. In the past "a hours one
death has been reported, while five
others await burial.
A report submitted later by the de-
partment of health alleges that wood
alcohol was found in one of the VIC
TINS stomach, and it is further al
legged that a bottle of whisky pur-
chased by a. detective also contained a
large percentage of wood alcohol. The
coroner has ordered that the funerals
of the five awaiting burial be post
poned and their stomachs analysed
"I do not want to be an a!armlst
said Coroner Scholer, but Fritsche is
not alone concerned in this matter.
am confident that the same sort of
LIQUOR will be found in other saloons
and that many deaths will be traced to
that source"

WRECKED BY RUSSIANS.
Torpedo Boats En- Route to Japan
Damaged in North Dakota.

ST. Paul, Oct. IA special to the
Dispatch from Minot, n. D., say:
Two knocked down torpedo boats
en- route over the Great Northern to
Seattle have been wrecked near
Towner through the breaking of the
forward journal on the truck contain
ing part of one of the boats. The
train passed through Rugby at an
early hour on a special schedule fol-
lowing the Great Northern flyer. 1t is
presumed that the journal was tam
pered with at Rugby.
During the summer a number of
Russians have been employed on the
section crew at Towner- Some of
them, it is said, have disappeared. 1t
is known that Russian and Japanese
governments have had spies in this
country with a view of watching sus-
picious shipments to the Orient
The wreck did not materially injure
the steel work on the boats but prac-
tically destroyed the wood work located
over the front trucks of the car so
that it will have to be reconstructed.
The steel material had been piled up
to one side

Mr.. LELAND REPLIES.
Explains Position With Reference to
Speakers in Doniphan County.

Troy, Kansas, Oct. 10.-Cyrus Le-
land, member of the Republican state
central committee from this district,
is very much exercised over state
ment that appeared in Topeka
morning paper this morning charging
that he wants no Republican speakers
sent to Doniphan county 1.-THE state
ments attributed to me are garbled
and many of them are untrue. What
1 did object to was the sending of
speakers into this county without con-
sulting the central committee and
without giving time to bill the meet
ings. When meetings are billed the
county central committee wants to
know about them and they certainly
have the right to know.
''At the present time when there
are so many charges of dishonesty in
the air with reference to candidates
on the Republican state ticket we
think that it would be exceedingly un-
wise to send speakers out now. We
believe that the better plan is to wait
until the charges are disproved and
we can then do all the campaigning
that is needed. A two weeks cam
paign before election is all that is
needed in Doniphan county"

29 WERE KILLED.
And Sixty Injured in Wreck Near
Warrensburg, Mo.

Kansas City, Oct. 11.-As a result
of the Missouri Pacific wreck near
Warrensburg, twenty-nine dead bodies
lie in the undertaking rooms in this
city and Sedalia and nearly sixty in
Jured are in the hospital at Sedalia.
Mrs. Wood May Die.
Sedalia, Mo-, Oct. 11-Julia A. Wood
OF Oxford, Kan, who was injured in
the wreck of the ST. Louis excursion
train on the Missouri Pacific railroad
near Warrensburg, is not expected to
live. Others of the injured, who were
brought to the railway hospital here for
treatment, are progressing favorably.
Julia Woods death would make a total
of 80 victims. The coroners jury at
Warrensburg today continued it's in
vestigation into the causes leading to
the wreck. A previously unidentified
woman among the dead proves to be
Mrs. 7. H. Alley, of Cedarvale, Kan,
whose husband also was killed.

SHRINkAGE OF GOLD.
Causes an Advance in Discount Rates
by German Banks.

Berlin. Oct. 11.-2:14 P. M.-The ad-
vance of the imperial bank rate of dis
count to per cent and the leading rate
to per cent today followed as usual
by an advance to the same rates by
the Saxon, Bavarian and other note
issuing banks was directly the result
of the unfavorable money situation
and the shrinkage of the imperial gold
stock, although $4,250. 900 was imported
from London during the last few days,
besides the banks heavy advances
join the stock and private bankers for
further gold purchases abroad.
The causes of the present position of
the money market are fairly clear. The
announcement that the imperial and
Prussian governments would jointly is
sue $37 800, 900 in treasury bonds came
at the end of September, when the
Berlin market was additionally under
heavy pressure for cash to meet GER
tain annual enga gements. Immediate
ly after that ANNOUNCEMENT the great
joint stock banks curtailed their loans
and discounts in order to be ready to
take the bonds.

MR. STREET IS HERE.
President of Water Company Guarded
in Statements.

Charles F. Street, president of the
Topeka Water company, came to town
this afternoon, and will be here for sew
eral days, he says.
Il don't look upon these insurance
suits against us as a very serious mat
ter he said today in response to d
question. When it came to discussing
the relations between the water COM
pany and the city, Mr.. Street was diplo-
matte and polite as usual. He had
nothing to say.
Il have not seen the mayor or city
attorney yet" he said. ''It would hard
ly be courteous for me to discuss these
matters before talking to them
1t is believed, however, that Mr..
Street expects to have something of i'm
portance to lay before the council. There
is said to be a possibility that he will
be able to close up the whole deal while
here, and transfer the ownership of the
plant to the city. Mr.. Street would not
confirm or deny this rumor.

CREW WAS ASLEEP.
Dispatcher Ordered Out Wrecking
Crew Before the Crash.

Warrensburg, Mo-. Oct. 1.-THE
evidence before the coroner's jury.
which is investigating the Missouri
Pacific collision near here yesterday,
when twenty-nine lives were lost and
over fifty persons injured. tends to fix
the responsibility upon the freight
crew, three of whom went to sleep and
failed to know that the ill fated pas
senger had not gone by before they
started out from Mont Serrat. The
examination of w w. McVey. night
operator at Mont Serrat, brought out
the fact that the train dispatcher at
Sedalia ordered out wrecking crews,
section men and doctors before the
two trains came together.
