Rocks-Sudden Crash Allows the
Sleeping Victims No Escape.

At least 100 persons were drowned
when the British cross channel steamer
Hilda of the Southwestern Railway
Company's line was wrecked Sunday
off ST. MaIo, on the north coast Of
France. SO far only six survivors
have been reported and it is believed
that all the others on board were lost
1t is understood that there were about
twenty first-class passengers, including
several English people. The rescued
were picked up in an open boat by the
steamer Ada of the Southwestern line,
outward bound from st. Malo, near
the scene of the wreck.
The Hilda left Southampton for ST..
Malo Friday night. There were about
eighty passengers, mostly French onion
dealers from st. Briae and the neigh
borhood. The crew numbered twenty
six.
The passage was delayed greatly by
dense fog in the English channel and
when near st. Malo the steamer ran
into a severe snowstorm, apparently
missing her course. While the cap
tain was seeking the entrance to the
port the steamer ran on the rocks off
Jardin lighthouse, three miles from st.
MaIo, and at once went to the bot
tom.
A telegram from st. seryan, adjoin-

The arrest and confession of Alfred

given society in that city a shock. Small
ley has admitted to the police that he
has lived in great part for five or six
years by burglaries at night while he
was conducting himself as an upright
business man by day. With the name
of Smalley is associated that of Mrs.
Lewis G. Ford a young matron well
known in Elizabeth, but the police, I'M
able to show that Mrs. Ford was an ac-
complete of Smalley, say she must have
been an innocent victim and attributed
the fact to her blind infatuation for the
man. Her husband, a Well-tO-dO station
er, agrees with the police. He says he
knows his wife has been on intimate
terms with Smalley several years, al
though he had never seen the man.

SIXTEEN MILLIONS NEEDED.

Estimate by War Department for
Presentation to Congress.
An estimate of $16,0000OO for contin-
uing work on the Panama canal has been
sent to the Treasury Department from
the War Department to be sent to Con-
gress.
The estimate of $16,OOOOOO is for ex-
penditure up to and including the fiscal
year ending June 30, 1907. A part of
this money will be necessary at once,
and an emergency appropriation will be
asked as soon as Congress convenes so
that the work may proceed. 1t is stated
at the offices of the commission that I'M
less money is provided as soon as Con-
gress convenes all work must cease The
estimate is made without regard to the
proposal to issue bonds.
Advocates of a lock canal have not

fact that the consulting engineers have

carefully by him. 1t is known also that
the President is very anxious to have the
work completed at an early date, and for
that reason he is believed to favor lock
canal. A strong minority report in favor
of a lock canal will be made by the five

Edward Fl. Hartman, appearing as
witness before the Armstrong legis-
lative committee, fatty contradicted all
the sensational accusations made
against him by James HaZen Hyde.
He denied that he had advised the set
tlement Of Gov OdelPs shipbuilding
suit against the Mercantile Trust
Company for 5000; he denied that
he had ever warned Hyde that the
Mercantile's charter might be revoked
through powerful political influence at
Albany; he denied, in fact, that he
had ever taken the initiative in any
way in the negotiations for the set
tlement Of the Odell suit.
Ex-Gov. Odell charges James H.
Hyde with "uttering base calumny"
on the witness stand. Odell denies he
forced settlement of his shipbuilding
trust suit by threats to cause repeal Of
Mercantile Trust Company's charter.
He admits, however, he favored bill
to repeal that charter, because it form
ed so many corporations that failed.
United States Senator DeneW teSti-
fed that Equitable trustee accounts
were hidden from him. He wants law
to prohibit campaign contributions.
James Hazen Hyde, who was the
chief witness Tuesday before the in
Surance investigating committee, is the
son of the founder of the Equitable,
Henry B. Hyde, and was born in New
York City June 6, 1876. He was bred
at Harvard, whence he graduated in
1898, and in November Of the same
year entered the service of the Equi-
table as second vice president. Five
months later he was elected vice pres
ident, and upon the death of his father
became one of the trustees of his es-
tate. He is a director in over a score
of corporations and belongs to several
clubs.

WOMEN GAMBLERS OF YoRE.

Lord Kenyon's Threat Proof Prac-
tice Was Common 100 Years Ago.
However one may deplore the pres
cnt craze for gambling among women,
it can at least be urged in their favor
that they do not indulge their love OF
cards to anything like the same extent
as did their sex a century ago, when
Lord Kenyon made his famous scath-
ing comments from the bench and
threatened that any women convicted
before him of public gaming should
certainly exhibit themselves in the pill
lory, though they should be the first
ladies in the land"
Only a short time before his lord
ship made this severe threatthree lead
ers of the world of fashion-ladies of
high rank and moving in the most ex-
allied of social circles-had each been
fined ESQ for making their houses cen
tiers Of gambling for high stakes, and
it was stated at the time that there
were hundreds of other great ladies
whose drawing-rooms were nothing
less than gambling infernos, where
tens of thousands of pounds were lost
and won in single night and the
floors of which, when dawn broke,
were strewn ankle deep with cards.
''There is scarcely a house Of any
Importance" wrote a chronicler of the
time, "the hostess Of which has not
her faro bank, and where the world
of fashion, including royal princes and
princesses, does not congregate daily
to play for the highest stakes. It is
notorious that many of these ladies
add ten of thousands of pounds yearly
to their pin money in this discredit-
able fashion"
Nor was this encouragement of
gambling by women any innovation,
for couple Of generations earlier it
was a common thing for ladies of
rank to open gambling houses for the
entertainment of their aristocratic
friends and the plenishing Of their own
purses-and this they did in defiance
Of the law.-Tit-Bits.
