SPLIT IN FAMILY
EDITOR PATTERSON DOES No1
 AGREE WITH SON.
Says in Chicago Not Even the Dog Pound Can Be Run Without Graft-He Opposes Muni-
 cipal Ownership.

New York, March 3.-R. W. Patter- son, editor of The Chicago Tribune does not share in the socialistic views expressed yesterday by his son. Joseph Medill Patterson, the former Commis- sioner of Public Works of. Chicaso' The elder MT. Patterson and his son were at the Holland House. In tnis citv today and both expressed decided oninions on the subject The younger man reiterated the statements voiced yesterday after his resignation as com" rnissioner of Public Works of Chicago had been made known His father de- cIared it to be his belief that Social- ism is one of the widest fanaticlsms of the age.
 He added that the real reason his son gave up his municipal office was De- cause he had been asked to do things for which he should have been indicted had he done them. While he did not at all agree with his sons theories' MT Patterson said he conceded to every man trying to do the right thing Tor himself, and added mere dinerence of opinion would not be permitted to make any difference In the feiaIioh between his son and himseI.
 "Tf sons did not have a different idea from their fathers, we would be back In inc days of Abraham" he said.
 MT Pattereson said that municipal ownership in Chicago Is a farce and and said if his son should ever run TOT Mayor of Chicago on a Socialist plat form he would not get the support Of The Tribune. They cannot even run the dog pound without gratt M Sni- cago," he continued.
 :sThey catch the good dogs. but nev- CT the CUTS, as they know some one viii come after the good dogs. My son came in contact with practical pol itictans at home and was thoroughly disgusted. He was asked to do things that would have indicted him. He was asked to remit the water tax of certain men simply on the ground that they ware influential politicians. He could no. do this so he got out. Graft pure and simple. that's what Joe found prae- tical poiitfcs meant even under the Dunne municipal ownership adminis- tration. I say this without reflection On Mayor Dunne personally. I'm talk ing of the system. If partial social ism is such failure, then the com plete socialism that my son thinks would be il universal panacea would be a colossal catastrophe.

GREAT CROWD SEES
 FIRST BALL GAME OF YEAR
Regulars of Connie Mack Won From Yannigans in Tenth Inning WaddelL Bender and
 Other Stars on Diamond.

With the score tied up to the end of the ninth inning the Regulars won out in the tenth through wild pitcn of Weldon Henley of the Yanntgans, at Athletic Park yesterday afternoon,
 when the first game of ball was played this year.
 If anything was needed to empha- size the popularity of the game of base ball in Montgomery the unusually large crowd that braved the chilly air of yesterday afternoon to watch a
 ulars of Connie Mack's Phiiadelphia team would have swept away all linger- ing doubt. True, among the lineup of the twoi teams were names famous the world over in baseball, and the two scintillating stars of last years s Climbers. Brouthers and Oldring. were on the two teams. Undoubtedly this
 fact drew the greater part of the crowd.
 The day was ideal, just enough of frigidity in the atmosphere to remind one that old Boreas has not yet taken the count. The sparkling sunshine of I perfect day gave that bractng tone that exhilarates one as if wine were flowing through his veins instead of good. red
 blood. AS the afternoon wore on the local fans realized that they were watching as clean cut game of ball as if it was being played in mid season: It was the first regular game of ball that has been played in the United

WAVES 65 FEET HIGH
FEARFUL CYCLONE DEvASTATEs <4 ISLANDS OF PACIFIC.
Many Americans Hose All They Have, and Money and Supplies are Needed--WiRd I2O Miles
 an Hour.

Papeete, Tahiti. Feb. IS, via San Francisco, March S.--The most destruct- i've cyclone ever experienced in the so- ciety and Tuamotu Islands occurred February ' and 8. The damage in Ta- hi-i is estimated at $1,000.000 and pre- sumably a similar amount of property was destroyed on the Tuamotu Islands. The city of Papeete was inundated and about seventy-five buildings destroyed, including the American consulate and the French Government building. The shipping in the harbor of Papeete es- caped injury owing to the direction of the wind, but fears are entertained for vessels, which were cruising near the Tuamotu Islands.
 It is feared that there have been heavy losses of life in the lagoons of Tuanlotu Islands, though the guardians death at the quarantine station in Pa peete Is the only fatality reported. , The schooner Papeete was submerged for an hour near Anaa, Tuamotu. Her captain, Philip Mlchaellt estimated that the waves were ,sfxty-five feet high. It was impossible to see twenty feet away. At o'clock in the day ttime the sailors had to be lashed to the vessel
 Bridges and roads were badly dam aged on the Island of Tahiti Bread
 
 trees were blown down in great num- bers, which will result in hardships to the natives and materially affect com merce during the next two or three years.
 The French gunboat Zeelee has gone to the Tuamotu Islands with supplies of food and fresh water. The British Consul has appealed to his Government for aid for 800 British subjects. Some Americans have sustained heavy losses and probably there will be few in- stances of utter destitution. The nericaus are hopeful of securing help fro mthe United States. Money and food is required.
 The cyclone or hurricane reached the velocity of 120 miles an hour. It struck the islands about midnight on February and continued until about o'clock on the next afternoon. The Island of Anaa, Tuamotu group, is believed to have been the center of the storm.

 When Red Ehret. in his familiar black sweater and still more familiar high soprano voice. walked in front of the stands to announce the batteries the burst of applause that greeted him voiced in no uncertain tones the popu- larity Of the sduarest umpire that has ever worked in Montgomery. His work during yesterdays game was fully up to the high standard of the game, m which he officiated in Montgomery last fall, and gave great satisfaction to both sides.
 It was bit on q coincidence that Brouthers and OIdring scored the first runs of the games for their respective sides Brouthers making the first tally in the baseball season of 1908. He was sacrificed to second, getting to first on an error, and scored on slashing drive of "Sox Seybold's. This was in the first inning when Dygert was pitching. The former Pelican star had
