TIDAL WAVE IN STORM STRIKES
CAMPANIA, A BIG OCEAN
LINER
Five Passengers Were Washed Over
board and Lost-A Score Were
Injured

NEW YORK, Oct. 14.-Five per-
sons are known to have been lost in
the big wave that swept over the
Campania's steerage deck October IL.
Stewardess Miss Gates and the deck
steward saved several children who
were swept toward a broken rail. The
death roll may be increased. About 80
persons were injured. All the cabin
passengers are safe.
Among the lost passengers was
John Graham, a merchant of Milwau-
kee, who was returning with his wife
aboard. His wife saw him swept ov-
erboard.
The cabin passengers raised a purse
Of $1,000 for Mrs Graham, who is left
with a large family. One hundred and
fifty dollars was raised for the other
injured. Two girls, named Clary and
Cosgrove, and two men, one an IS
year-old Dane, and the other an
Irishman, were lost. A sailor who
was injured, died after the storm.
Agnes Carlson had both legs broken
and died this morning. John O'Con-
nor, a first class passenger says that
a panic prevailed throughout the ship
when the wave struck, and it required
all the efforts of the officers and crew
to quiet the passengers. When the
ship reached smooth water in the up
per boy this morning, the passengers
dropped to their knees On deck and
thanked God for their deliverence.

THRESH OVER

Hand in Scandal
FoRTESCuE AND MINER BEsMlRcaED
Mrs. Taseart Given Charge Of Younger
Son by Judge Eason-OIder
Can Choose.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Oct. 14.-It is
likely that the 'Taggart case will be
all threshed over again in the military
courts. The war department will re-
view Judge Eason's decision and
probably, if Captain Taggart does
not take action against Lieutenant
Fortescue and General Miner, the de-
partment will. 1t is possible that
Taggart will be tried upon the charge
preferred by Miner some time ago.

WOOSTER, Ohio, Oct. 14.-Judge
Eason decided to leave Elmore F.
Taggart, Jr., in the custody of his

HEATH MADE 4 REMARKABLE RACE

MINEOLA, L. l., Oct. 14.-Nineteen
automobiles, representing the United
States, Germany, France and Italy,
started this morning over a course of
2S3 miles in a race for the Vanderbilt
cup. Society was out in force. The
weather was ideal. A car of 90-horse
power, made by Pope Of Toledo, Driv-
er Lyle, skidded on the road at Bulls
head, throwing out Machinist latter
sal. who was taken to a hospital in
a serious condition. FOXhau Keene
crashed into a telegraph pole, but es-
capped injury. Loncia, in a 10 horse
power fiat, leading in the last round,
covered the distance in 2 hours 40
minutes So seconds. Lancia and
Christie collided outside Lakeville,
but nobody was hurt. Christie was
driving a 6O-horse power machine of
his own make.
Lancia made a terrific pace and be
came the favorite in the first round.
After the collision he fixed his tires
and was soon running again. He was
given a tremendous ovation while
passing the grand stand. Hemery, in
an SO-horse power Darracq led at the
close of the eighth round. Keen's ma
chinist was badly hurt wnen the ma
chine hit the pole. Keene drove
12O-horse power Mercedes.
Hemery won the race. Time
hours SO minutes s seconds. Heath,
American, was second; Lancia third.
Heath drove a 12O-horse power Pan
hard.
Hemery and Heath finished 80 Sec
onds apart. Hemery started three
minutes later than Heath, so ne
wins by minutes and 80 seconds.
Heath's performance was a sur
prise. as he ran fourth until the lat
ter part of the race.
The report that Tattersal was seri-
ously hurt proved untrue. His auto
crushed a dog and splattered blood on
the occupants of the machine, which
caused the report that Tattersal was
hurt so badly he had to quit the
race.

The emetic given by the woman
proved effective and when the physi-
clan arrived Davis was practically out
of danger. He was removed to the
Walla Walla hospital and his stomach
pumped out. He was put to bed and
this morning had apparently recovered
from the effect of the small amount
Of poison that he had absorbed.
Davis became enamored over the
Smith woman several months ago
and it is said that most of his earn

He has repeatedly implored her to
marry MIN, but it is said she put him
Off on one pretext or another until the
man became almost insane. Last
night he visited the woman and after
vainly pleading with her swallowed the
bi-cnloride tablets, which were lying
on dresser in the room.
Davis figured in a sensational esca-
pade five years ago, when he shot a
former sweetheart through the lung.
The shooting occurred one afternoon
in North Fourth street. Davis was
tried On an attempted murder charge
and was convicted, being sentenced to
five years in the penitentiary. After
serving three years he was paroled.

HAVE COME TO STAY.

When we talk of the probability that motor carriages will take the place of horses. we are apt to entertain a feel ing of regret at the passing of the horse. Then, too, judging by what we are continually hearing and reading about these vehicles we get an idea | that there can be no such thing as safety connected with their use.
 And yet. coming down to facts, 1t is possible to make automobiles better and safer than horses. They can be made so practically perfect in con- struction and motive power that they will be much safer than any animal power is. It matters not how well a horse is broken and trained. he is liable at some time to shy or bolt and do damage. It may be said that the machines are given to playing tricks, but 1t should be remembered that they are yet in their colthood, so to speak They can be made as thoroughly safe as anything that depends on human skill and management
 That the autos have come to stay is one of the dead certainties of the times. As The Hartford Courant sees 1t, 'the few people who still insist that the automobile is a passing fad merely mean that 1t is fad that passes them on the road. It is thing that has already become indispensable and that is going to prove of steadily increasing usefulness. The rules of the road must be closely defined and rigidly ob- served, and it will not do to let such powerful objects be managed by reck- less or ignorant people. Experience will compel this regulation. If common sense and the instinct of self -preserva- tion do not settle 1t earlier. The main point to be made Is that it's a waste of time and a sign of backwardness to be talking about the automobile as any thing but a permanent and most valua- ble addition to the convenience and com- fort of life"
 But in order that this method of locomotion shall become popular and permanent, there must, as The Courant intimates, be more strict and stringent regulations for those who run them recElessly. The papers give many ac- counts of accidents and injuries caused by the disregard of human life shown by many who run the machines. Unless the law can curb these careless or reckless riders, the people may resort to violent measures for their own pro- lection. With the Improvements that are bound to come, and with laws and regulations to govern the speed and course of the autos. they will eventual ly take the place of horses to q great extent. if they do not drive that animal of the track entirely. They only need to become safe and reliable in order to supercede other methods of travel.

A Pure Invention.

The Birmingham Age-Herald printed this week, in its minor interviews, a statement by a New Orleans visitor that there was current in New Orleans and elsewhere in the South story which the visitor vouched for by re- beating tito the effect that a promi- nent clergyman of New Orleans had practically been driven to resign a found negroes as members of the Phil adelphia congregation, and callers up on himself and wife. The only truth In the story is that the clergyman re- delphia, remained there a short while, and then resigned in order 70 return to his people in New Orleans. All the rest is pure invention, absolutely and unqualihedly. without foundation Nothing occurred in Philadelphia or in any place else to even suggest it.
