SHIP THAT BLEW rP ON XMAS.
Seven Survivors OF the Marpesla Get Here.
Leaving Eleven Dead,

|
| The yarn of tho less of the naphtha
laden Norwegian ship Marpesia, already
spun over the caole from Bermuda was
repeated yesterday, by her skipper, Capt.
Carl Jensen; Mate Evensen, Second Mate
Lund and the cabin boy, Sverre SRlberg
among seven survivors who arrived here
| yesterday aboard the Quebec Line steam
! ship Trinidad. Eleven others Of the crew
were hurled 10 death in an explosion that
forced all the living 20 seek safety in the
tumbllng waves in midocean on Christmas
Dav.
The ship, an iron hooker launched at
Glasgow in 1896, had had mighty tussle
with wind and sea before she blew up. Her
ventilators had been carried away and
the seas had roared through the openings,
setting her cargo adrift. Can smashed
against can. and the hold soon was filed
with oil. The cook had prepared a fine
Christmas dinner for the crew, but nobody
had bite of it, and the cook was among
the lost.
About II A. NJ, the ship which was hove
TO, blew up forward. The foremost was
blown 10 smithereens and eleven men in the
forecastle were annihilated. The explosion
was followed by fiames that swept aft on the
gale, driving the survivors almost to the
tafrail. The second mate got the wheel
ana Hedueu tne snip Gown tile WlOOt 40
that the fire for moment was driven for
ward.
The Danish steamship Gaia. bound
from Hamburg for Savannah, was in the
neighborhood. and her skipper headed
for the drifting torch. Meanwhile the
fearful Scandinavians had clambered out
on boards made fast at the stern to escape
the flames. which were swiftly enveloping
the ship. The second mate held to the
wheel until his hands were bstered
There were only two lifebelte, and one
of these was given to the mate. whose arms
had been badly hurt by falling wreckage
in a gale several days before. The other
was offered 10 the second mate. He turned
it over to the cabin boy, who could not
swim The skipper had been hurt in one
of the succession Of blasts that had carried
away most of the ships sails and some OF
her spars. but he was the last man 10 leave
the ship, thus fulfilling the tradition OF
the sea
The flames were shooting more than
200 feet in the air when the Gallia launched
a boat, which was smashed in the combers
against her side. The boats crew were
hauled aboard with lines. Meanwhile all
the living on the Marpesia had jumped into
the sea. As it was broad daylight it was
an easy matter 10 see the Marpesia's men
and the cabin boy tossing in the froth.
The Gallia was marpIvred cleverly along
side the swimmers and lines were tossed TO
them. The disabled mate Of the Nor
wegian was unable 10 grasp line and was
lassoed and hauled aboard as the Gallia
took deep roll toward him.

NEGRO RESOLUTIONS
pENoUkcING jim CROW LAWS
Negro Press Association Announce s
Its Attitude on Questions A.
fectinq the Race.

Muskosee. ]. r., Sept. 23.-The Wes-
ern Negro Press Association, in an
nual meeting here yesterday. adopted
the following resolutions:
1T being considered the settled po!
icy Of the white people of the southern
states 10 abridge the political rights OF
the colored people, and thereby multi
the fifteenth amendment. a memorial
shall be presented TO the President
and to Congress opposing Statehood
for the two territories undian Teri
tory and Oklahoma) unless an absO-
lutte guarantee can be given that there
will be no Jim Crow coach laws and
other laws discriminating between the
races in public places
The resolutions endorse the admin
tration OF President Roosevelt, and he
is spoken of as the greatest chief ex-
ecutive Since the great emancipator.
Lincoln Negroes are urged to acquira
land; lynchinS and the perpetrators OF
crimes leading thereto are denounced,
be they white or colored; it is de
clared that separate schools should
not be established in states where
slavery never existed, and that in the
states where both races favor separ-
ate schools they should exist as
means 10 an end, rather than as an end
themselves. Booker T. Washingtons
industria. policy is endorsed. Presi-
dent Roosevelt and Secretary of the In
terror Hitchcock are to be informed
that the rights given the freedmen in
the territory 10 sell their lands without
restrictions are being abused, and il
the evil is not stopped they will soon
dispose of their homes and become
paupers and wards of the Nation.

tion elected the following officers yes.

Colorado Canning Industry.

The shipment of a solid train OF
canned peas has opened the eyes OF
Colorado TO another industry in which
Inc state can claim pre-emincnce.
Starring in mOdest way, the EmpsOn
Canning Company IL Longmont has
found its business reaching enormous
proportions. The big cities of the East
have taken to the Colorado sugar peas
and the demand is steadily increasing
This demand undoubtedly will result
in the establishment of many more
canneries. The vegetables, as grown
here, are firmer and more succulent
than those east of the Rockies While
ne has to enter into competition with
the product of the eastern states, the
present system under which the trans.
portation of the country is conducted
permits the shipper TO meet this COM
petition and insu"es him share OF
the big markets.
Under these conditions there is no
doubt capital will see the advantage of
erecting canneries for other fruits and
other vegetables. In no place in the
United States do the smaller fruits
and vegetables. such as peas. sugar
corn. asparagus and all the forms of
pickles. grow in greater profusion or
eXcellency. While the great consum.
ing centers lie far to the east of us.
their trade is readily commanded. No
reason exists why Colorado should not
become great canning state, pro-
vided no radical change is made in eX-
listing conditions
This great shipmen, of peas already
Is whir!Ing east over the Burlington
In itself, it will prove the greatest ad-
Verlisemen, that Colorado could com,
mand. In its journey from the Rockies
to the Atlanaic coast i, will bring to
thousands some knowledge of Colo.
RADIOS resources.
The capacity of the canncry at Long
mont is 10000 cans per hour. If tho
peas grown this season were placed in
straight row they would extend from
New York TO San Francisco, double
back four times and the end of this
lengthy row would rest somewhere III

Colorado's Fairs,

The agricultural fairs of Colorado
have this yeal assumed more than
usual prominence. In this connection
the Pueblo Chieftain Of September 18th
enumerates the fairs OF one week as
follows: 1T would be possible for an
inquirinS tourist to visit five different
fairs on five separate days of this week
and although the feat would involve
night travelling and some hardship
he would doubtless see enough OF in
terest and value to warrant the effor,
and expense.
THE tourist that would undertake.
TO do this should spend Monday in
Grand junction. wherc the Mesa
county fair is scheduled for five davs.
Tuesday should be spent at Mont
rose, where the Western Slope fair be-
through Wednesday, Thursday and
Friday
Wednesday the visitor should
transport himself to the Ebert county
fair, at Ebert. where he will see
magnificent display OF rainbeit prod
ucts raised without irrigation.
Thursday is Fruit day at Canon
City, and of course our Traveller would
select this one of the three days.
Wednesday,. Thursday and Friday
through which the Fremont county
fair is continued
Friday would he good day to
visit the San Luis fair AT Monte Vista
though the fair begins on Wednesday
and continues until Saturday
And after such strenuous week
it is possible that our traveller would
desire to rest on the last day of the
week. which is Saturday.
a review Of all the Colorado fairs
this year would make good reading to
all interested in the agricultural
growth OF the state

garding the safety of the members OF
the court and leading officials Of the
government.
The government offices and railways
are now strongly guarded.
The edict appointing the missions
mentioned in the foregoing dispatch
was issued July 10th. A dispatch from

HONEST GOVERNMENT,
Some Ringing Epierams by Governor
Folk of Missouri.

Denver, Sept. 23.-At the Denver
Chamber of Commerce luncheon
Thursday, Governor Folk of Missouri
addressed several hundred of the lead
ing men of Denver, together with a
number of guests from other parts Of
the state. The following quotations
embody his convictions in regard to
municipal reform:
wherever you find gambling houses
running in open violation of the law
you can be certain that somewhere
there is graft in the government Of that
city Or state"
With an executive Official the qnes-
tion should not be whether the law is
good law or not, but it is his duty to
execute it as he finds it."
"A rascal is a rascal, whether he
calls himself a Democrat or Republi-
can: lawbreaker is criminal, no
matter 10 what party he may belong"
Evc.y law, ! have observed, is q
blue lag to th2 man who wants to
break it Every state in the Union,
except ten. is now engaged in prose
cutting graft and bribery. This does
not indicate moral degeneration, but
1t shows a moral awakening"
Zone of the chief causes of corrup-
ton in legislative bodies is the free
railroad pass"
"A state canhot be injured by the en-.
forcement of the law. 1t is more hon
orable to correct civic evils than it is
to bear them in ignoble silence"
"A half dozen brave, earnest and
honest men, working courageously for
the enforcement of the law in any
town of city in Colorado can drive cor
ruption from its bounds
Americans for America, is the slo-
gan that should be sounded now"
If there were any difference made
by reason of party l would prosecute
the man of my own party who does
wrong first-because he should know
better"
