DANISH VESSEL GOES DOWN
STRIKES HIDDEN ROCK OFF THE
COAST OF SCOTLAND.
Over Six Hundred Of Those on Board
Missing-Two Boats OF Sur
vivors Saved.

London, July 5.-Early In the morn
ing of June 20 the Danish steamer Norge.
having on board TIA persons, all OF
whom, with the exception OF the crew.
II In number, were Danish, Swedish,
Norwegian and Finnish emigrants,
struck on Rockall reef, about 290 miles
OF the west coast of Scotland, and sank
in few minutes. 1t Is known that 145
persons have been saved, but there Ia
little hope that any of the 629 persons
who are still missing are alive. Accord
ing to the survivors, the moment the
vessel struck the engines were reversed
and the Norge came back into deep
water. The rent in her bows was so
large, however, that she began to fill
rapidly. The vessels eight boats were
swung over the sides rapidly and the
women and children were put into them
first. There was heavy sea running
and in lowering the boats one was
smashed.
The steam trawler Saliva put into
Grimsby late Sunday night with rs res
cued Scandinavians aboard. Passing
vessels picked up 102 survivors and
landed them at Stornoway, Scotland. on
Monday. Among these was Capt. Gun
del, of the Norge, whose statement,
which reads like an affidavit from the
dead, for he went down with his ship,
maintains that the Norge struck on a
sunken rock Is miles from Rockall.
Vessels are searching in the vicinity
Of Rockall for any more survivors. The
chief hope lies in Capt. Gundel's state
ment that seven boatloads got safely
away. No more tragic story of the sea
has ever been known here than that OF
the sinking of the Norge.
Aberdeen, Scotland, July 6.-Another
boat load containing II survivors of the
Inflated Danish steamer Norge, which
foundered off Rockall reef, 290 miles
from the Scottish mainland on June %.
were landed at Aberdeen, Scotland, Tues
day night by the steam trawler Largo
Bay. Six hundred and twenty-seven per-
sons are still missing.
Glasgow, Scotland, July 9.-Another
boat with Norge survivors, II passen-
gers, eight sailors and one child, has
reached the Shetland islands. This boat,
which was in charge of the second mate
of the Norge, was eight days on the open
sea. The party rowed the entire dis
lance to the islands. All on board the
boat were much exhausted and unable
to stand when landed. The Shetland
islands were sighted by the boat on
Wednesday last.

tenant Gsnersl John B. Gordon
died at his winter home near
Miami, Fla, at 1905 O'Clock to-
night. His fatal illness, which
overlook him last Wednesday,
was congestion of the stomach

An Address to the Legislature
The State lsw and Order League
Wants Certain Changes Made
in the Dispshsary law.

Following is the memorial pre-
sented BY the State league to tho
general assembly of South Car
olina:
The Temperance Law and Or
der League of South Carolina
respectfully represents to your
honorable body that it i. un or
ganization Of citizens represent
ing the sentiments Of large class
of the voters of the State having
for it's object:
1. To render all moral encour>
agement and support to the con-
stituted authorities in the enforce
ment of existing laws, both State
and municipal, relating to the
peace and good order of the COM
munity.
2 To render such individual
service as may be practicable and
lawful, in securing and furnishing
to the proper law officers facts
and information of violations of
law 10 enable them to proceed
against the violators.
3. BY all lawful means to hold
the sworn officers of the law to
the prompt and faithful discharge
of their official obligations to tho
pubIic,and by proceedings against
them for wllful neglect or failure
on their part.
4. Especially to .ecure a full
and satisfactory enforcement of
the dispensary law, both against
those engaged In prohibited traf-
hc in lHtoXicants and those who
violate the provisions of the law
while acting as sworn officers of
the dispensary.
In pursuance of those objects
it would respectfully urge upon
the general assembly to make an
amendment to the law, common
ly known as the dispensary law,
As will afford the citizens of any
community in which dispensary
may be established under the
provisions of the law, tho oppor-
tunity to express by ballot their
wishes for its removal.
We make this appeal for the
reasons following:
l. Because as the dlspensary
law makes every citizen stock
holder sharing the profits and IL
abilities resulting from the bus
iness as an act Of simple Justice
they should be accorded the right
to end their connection with 1t if
they so desire.
2. Because there are many COM
munlties in the State, we believe
the larger proportion, whore dis
pensaries have been established in
opposition to the known aud ex
pressed wish of these communities
or where through originally ap-
proved, the experience of the evils
resulting from the operation of
dispensaries in their midst has
changed to one of disapproval,
and who would gladly avail them
selves of the means of removino
what they realize to be m agency
which is only evil and prolific
source of disorderly lawlsssness
and general decentralization.
3. Because tho purpose of
legislation should be the repres-
sion OF lawlessness and crime, the
improvement of the moral con.
dltion and the promotion of the
happiness of the people, and
these purposes would be greatly
promoted by the removal of dis
pensaries from these communities.
4. Because the recorded facts
as to the conduct of the dlspen-

SCORES IDLE ROWDIEs
NAN Recently Attacked for Directing t.
snowballs Thinks People Should Act

Kenosha, Wis, March /, 1904.
Mr.. Editor: There seems to be a
question as to whether the passing
pedestrian or the 1oafer, too lazy to
do days work, has the right Of the
street. A crowd of, not boys as stat
ed in the News of last night, but
young grown up men stand on the
corners ready to throw snow balls
after people just as soon as they turn
their backs to them. Then when the
man, who feels that he has equal
rights, turns back and protests they
all jump on him.
They are arraigned before the JUS
tice of the peace and plead guilty to a
charge of assault and battery. They
are fined one do1lar-one whole dol
lar and costs. The boys laugh.
They think it is a joke and can do the
same thing again.
I think it is the duty Of every law
obeying citizen to discourage rather
than encourage such things.
Hoping that the above may find
a place in your paper, beg to re-
main, Respectfully yours,
CHRIST F. HEIDE.

DECIDE TO REBUILD.
Racine County Board Will Replace
Burned Asylum Buildings at
County's Expense.
NO ASYLUM FOR KENOSHA COUNTY.

The Racine County Board of Super
visors on Tuesday adopted a reso1u-
ton that the insane asylum, recently
destroyed by fire, be replaced as
speedily as possible, with substan-
tia1 and modern structure, adequate
in size and as nearly fireproof as pos
sib1e. There were but two dissenting
votes.
Superintendent Oversen and his at
tendants appeared before the Board
and disproved the charges that the
fire protection was inadequate, and
that there was negligence on his part,
both in running the asylum and in re
gard to the fire. His statement was
verified by all of the attendants and
others who were at the fire.
The Board then adopted reso1u-
ton that the State Board of Control
be requested to issue to Racine county
a permit to build an asylum for the
chronic insane, to be located on the
site of the burned structure. The
State Board will appear before the
County Board and will advise it how
to proceed.
The action of the Racine Board
makes it absolutely impossible for an
asylum to be built by this county, as
the State Board of Control has held
that so long as there is an asylum IN
Racine it would be impossible for
them to give their consent for the
building of a similar institution in
this county.
The action Of the Racine Board will
be received with great deal of sat
isfaction by the officials of Kenosha
county, as they had held that an
asylum in this section Of the State
was a necessity and Kenosha would
probably have built one if the Racine
Board had decided not to rebuild the
burned buildings.
The inmates of the asylum from
this county are now being cared for
at Lake Superior, and they will re-
main there until the new building in
Racine county is completed.
