TRAGEDY AT SEA Is
NARROWLY AYERTED
STEAMER LUCIA COLLIDES WITH
SCHOONER EAGLE WING AND
DAMAGED AS A RESULT.

New York, May 31.-News of a mar
rowly averted tragedy at sea was brought
here by the Austrian steamer Lucia,
which arrived today from Mediterranean
ports.
The Lucia reported that she was in
collision yesterday with the big four
master Fall River, Mass. schooner Eagle
Wing about sixty miles south-southeast
of Sandy Hook lightship, but that nei-
Their of the vessels sustained fatal dam
age. That one or the other did not go
to the bottom was due more to food for
tune than anything else, according to
the story told by the Lucia's officers,
as the Eagle Wing was travelling at a
tremendous speed through dense fog when
the crash came.
The schooners jibboom was torn away,
the l.ucia's immense derrick on the for
ward deck was smashed, and her rails
and bridge were smashed as the Eagle
Wings fore-rigging swept along the side.
As the schooner disappeared in the fog
she signalled that none of her crew had
been injured, and that all or her damage
was above the water line

Judge-Have l MOI just said that you

At this point negotiations were broken
off, so to speak, while the attendant went

ENFORCE EIGHT-HoUR DAY.
Cost of Digging Canal is Increased BY
Action.

Washington, May 3l.-In view of the
announced decision of the Isthmian canal
commission to enforce the eght-hour law
on the canal work after June 1, Secre-
tary Taft stated today the grounds on
which Attorney General Moody had
reached his decision en- that important
matter. 1t was to the effect that as the
work of canal construction regardless of
place, was being done by government
labor, the eight-hour law must apply.
1t is said that the contract providing for
the employment of collie labor was held
up pending this decision and will not
be signed until Engineer Wallace has
succeeded in reaching some agreement
with the employers of the COOLER labor to
adjust the scale of labor prices to the
eight-hour decision. 1t is stated that the
operation of this law will largely increase
the expenses of canal building, and Sec
rotary Taft has called upon Engineer
wallace for close estimate of the ad-
ditional expense for the information Of
Congress.

result was that six of the victims were

RUSSIA SWEPT FROT1 THE SEA
A New Power Absorbs Her Prestioe

In all nature the ever changing in the
seen and unseen world is going on with
tireless wheels of all creation set in mo-
ton to accomplish the mysterious end
and purposes of an advise Creator. In
dividuas well as nations may deceive
themselves and build upon the false foun-
dations of selfishness and unrighteous
conduct, but the fate of Russia and
the man who built his house upon the
tickle sands, fell; even so, will those who
follow after them suffer the same fate.
Every stable government rests upon
the family, and the general conception
which a people at large may have of their
highest duty to themselves and their
countrymen, and an unhealthy conception
of life, will bring disaster where 1t origi-
mates and to all those under their domi-
nation.
America is blessed with a constitutional
government founded on righteous inten-
lions in all its departments Except rail-
road commissioner and she is the garden
spot of the world, and Alabama and Biz
mingham is the center of the Garden

ATLANTA HAS NEW
MONOPOLY OF CABS
ONE CONCERN DOES ALL THE
TRANSFERRING TO THE NEW
UNION STATIoN-NEW ORDI.
NANCE is DRAWN UP.

Atlanta, May 31.-(Speeial. )-Despite the
urgent request of the Atlanta Baggage
and Cab company, which has acquired a
monopoly of the baggage and cab bus
mess at the new union passenger station
Iy contract with the Atlanta Terminal
company, the ordinance committee this
morning adopted an ordinance which, in
effect. reduces the present cab fares in At
lanta. This ordinance will be passed by
the city council on Monday next
The Atlanta Baggage and Cab company
entered into a contract with the Terminal
company whereby no one else is allowed
TO deliver baggage and passenger at the
new station or to take them from it. Then
upon the ground that it was maintaining
an expensive service. it asked the city
council to increase the cab fares so that
IL could charge as a minimum price 80
cents for one passenger anywhere within
the city The present charge is % cents
until 10 o'clock at night, after which 1t
is 30 cents.
Instead of giving the company its so
cent rate the committee passed a new
ordinance which fixes the rate at % cents
per passenger for any distance up to a
mile and a half, and 10 cents for each ad-
dltlonal mile. These rates are doubled
after 1.30 o'clock at night and until 8
o'clock in the morning. But the ordi-
nance makes the uniform rates of 20
cents between the depots and the hotels
at all times day or night instead of the
90 cents as asked by the company. Ser
vice by the hour is 81 per hour for one
or more persons.
The local cabmen are making strong eff
forts to break into the monopoly which
an n I,a natv OF ion
and the adoption of this new ordinance
is one step decidedly in their favor, be-
cause it has been shown that the Atlanta
Baggage and Cab company does not main
tain cabs enough to take care of the SER
