OVER A HUNDRED LOST.
WRECK OF THE V4LENCIA
Fifteen Men Reach Cape BeaIe-
Some Still on Steamer.


Victoria, B. C.. Jan. 24-ConHrmation has
been received that nearly all on board the Va
| lencia have been lost with the exception OF the
fifteen men who reached Cape Beale
A later dispatch from Bamfeld says that
messages demanding that boat with coal oil
and other supplies be sent have been received.
The latest reports from Camp Beale say the
survivors at Darling have reported that some
persons are still alive aboard the ship.
Those said to be on the ship, it is added.
are prepared to shoot a line ashore as soon as
the rescuers are ready TO fasten it to bluff
for a breeches buoy support. This may result
in the rescue of many OF those hitherto thought
lost
The steamer Queen reports that when she left
the wreck there were some twenty or thirty per-
sons cllnging to the rigging. The Valencia is
almost submerged, only the after part Of the
hurricane deck being above water. There was
slight hope Of rescue on account Of the heavy
sea
Although the reports are conflicting, it is
probable that 189 lives were lost while only
fifteen persons were saved. The report from
the steamship Queen that twenty-five pas
sengers were clinging to the vessels rigging,
followed by the story that the wreck had gone
10 pieces As only fifteen survivors have been
heard from so far it is probable that the loss Of
life viii reach 189.

commanding officer Of the naval station at
EsquimauIt to send nfeboat crew from

A correspondent on board the steamer Sal
vor has telegraphed from Bamheld as follows
The steamer Valencia was located by the
steamer Queen at Q a. IA to-day on Point Klan-
awav about five miles from Cape Beale. The
tug car went in 20 investigate and reported
that the steamer was ashore, stern first, her
decks swept clear with the exception of a small
part of the house and her two masts No per
sons could be seen alive on board In the rig
ging Of the foremast was what the captain Of
the tug took to be a signal although he was
unable to say whether II was a piece of sail
or a human being clingng 20 the rigging.

will meet in December, and will pass an or
der directing the superintendent of that in
sutution to furnish the number of men de-
sired. In discussing the subject OF prison.
ers, Chief Engineer Crosby said that the
convicts would be employed in getting out
stone from quarry lying about one mile
from the house of correction. These con-
victs so employed will receive no pay other
than maintenance. which will come out of
the good roads appropriation.
This employment of convict labor on
state work will be in the nature of prece-
dent. although 1t was recalled that during
the construction of the Baltimore and Ohio
railroad between Baltimore and Frederick
the state leased to one of the contractors of
the road one of the prisoners from the
Maryland penitentiary, and since that time
one of the sections along this branch has
always been known as the penitentiary sec
ton.
Mr.. Crosby announced that the commits
sion had completed q. SO miles of road since
and of this sum the state paid 81, 445.
About eighteen miles of new roads are
under construction and about six miles will
be completed this year.
Mr.. Crosby said the new highways seemed
to be giving satisfaction. and the criticism
heard of their cost seems to have been ST.
fenced by the results.
DIR. William Bullock Clark, superintendent
of the state geological survey commission,
reported that he was at work on map
which would show every town, road, post
office and other details. This will be on a
scale Of three inches to the mile.
He also announced that the typographical
survey base map was completed in a num-
Der of counties. the commission having
worked with the United States geological
survey,
Gov. Warfeld, DR.. Ira Remsen and Presi-
dent R. w. Sylvester of the Maryland Agri-
cultural College were present The meet
ing held in the governors Office In the
Fidelity building.

DON'T BE A PESSIMIST.
DR.. Remsen of Johns Hopkins Advises
Students.

BALTIMORE, December 7-Matricula-
ton day was observed yesterday at the
Johns Hopkins University. 1t was a time
of Importance to the undergraduate second
only to that when he steps proudly upon
the stage of the Academy of Music on a
June day to receive the coveted sheepskin
for which he has been laboring for several
years.
The certificate of matriculaton granted
the undergraduate yesterday signifies that
the recipient in every has successfully
completed all of the entrance examinations
which the university authorities require be-
fore he may be considered a candidate for
a degree. In some cases a man is unable
to abSOlve the entrance requirements until
/ the beginning of his senior year, circum-
stance that happened in the case of more
than one young man yesterday.
The ceremonies took place in the Dono-
van room of Mccoy Hall at > O'Clock and
We're presided over by President Remsen
and Dean Griffin. Prof. James Mark Bald
win and Associate Professor George L.
Barnett made short speeches. urging the
young men to make the most of their op
portunitieS while at college to prepare them
for n successful career in after years. The
number of men to receive certificates of
matricuation was forty-four, all of whom
signed their names to the official univer-
Sity register preserved by Registrar
Thomas r. Ball.
DIR. Remsen said: above all things else,
do not be a pessimist. Too many young
men have gone forth from the walls of
their alma mater with the feeling that
tant place upon the worlds stage, and II
they do not at once succeed in the dreams
of their youth. which very few of them do
at once they are disappointed and become
of a pessmistic turn of mind, which great
ly impairs their efficiency and insures but 4

HARVARD GETS SPECTATOR"
Only Complete Set Known to Exist
Bought for $500 in Philadelphia.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass, December THE
Harvard College library has just received
a complete set, $50 numbers, of the Specta-
tor, published in the early part of the
eighteenth century. Before the set which
Harvard has acquired was discovered it
was thought that no complete set existed.
OF the first series, the Harvard library.
the Bodleian library at oxford University
and the British Museum had complete sets,
but complete file Of the second series
was known. For years the British Museum
has offered large sum for such a set, but
search for ii was frutless.
1t was by chance that Harvard stumbled
across the complete set. 1t had belonged to
a Mr.. Bement of Philadelphia, and along
with part of his collection was turned
over to Rosenbach & Co. for sale. This
firm deals in pictures, and was unaware of
the value of the volumes
The set was listed in their catalogue at
$500, and was discovered there by w. X.
Castle instructor in English, and Gldden
Osborne the Harvard foot ball player, who
is a collector of rare volumes. They called
attention to the find, and without delay $500
was sent to Philadelphia, and the books
came to Cambridge.
The set is worth many times what the
college paid for it, besides being one of the
biggest literary discoveries of recent years.
To add to the value of the collection the
binding was done by REVERE.

$500 FOR OFFERING A BRIBE.
Candidate for Rural Carrier Fined for
Trying to Bride Civil Service Board.

UTICA, December 7.-Eugene l.. Sturges,
the Oxford man who wanted to carry mail
over rural free delivery route in Chen
ango county, has been fined 500 and sem
fenced to one days Imprisonment by the
United States district court for trying to
bribe a government officer. His fine was
the same amount that Sturges offered the
government officer as bride. The offer
was made in the following letter:
OXFORD, n. Y, April >, Los.
UNITED States Civil Service Commissioners,
Washington.
Gentlemen: l received your card the 2sth
stating the rural carrier examination will
be held at Norwich April Z. AS this being
my first experience of the kind, hoping my
papers will be sadisfactor and ii will be so
as to cum in my favor | will be pleased
to make you gentlemen present of $500

you gentlemen further reference in regard
to my ability and cable tevidently capabil-
ity) or going the work required by the gov
eminent. Yours very truly,
MR.. EUGENE |. STURGES, Oxford
The first thing that Sturges learned about
his civil service examination papers was
that steps had been taken by the govern
ment to prosecute him for attempted
bribery.

MAY VISIT SICK SISTER.
Mrs. j. E. Roosevelt Applies to Court
for an Order. but Lawyers Agree.

NEW YORK, December Mrs. John
Ellis Roosevelt, whose husband is a cousin
of the President, applied yesterday to Su-
preme Court Justice Davis for an order per-
hitting her to visit without restraint her
sister, Mrs Constant A. Andrews, who has
been for three years in a sanitarium at
White Plains. Mrs. Roosevelt also wants
to have her physician, DR.. Vedder, per-
mitted to see Mrs. Andrews at will.
In the application Mrs. Roosevelt stated
that she had not been allowed to see her
sister, except under surveillance. To DIR.
Vedder, who was Mrs. Andrews own ply
stefan, admission had been denied, accord
ing to Mrs. Roosevelt, but he did see the
patient once. His visit appeared TO do
Mrs Andrews great deal of good, ana
Mrs Roosevelt thinks that If he were al
lowed to visit her continually 1t might inn
prove the patients condition.
There was opposition 70 the motion by
counsel for Mr. Andrews, but when Justice
Davis intimated that he would grant the
application there was a consultation be-
tween the lawyers and they left the court
room saying that they would reach an
agreement out of coUrt.
Constant A Andrews is president of the
United States Savings Bank. Mrs. Andrews
before her marriage was Miss Blanche J..
Vance. At the instance of her mother,
Mrs. Augusta B. Vance. a commission was
appointed in 1900 to inquire into her sanity,
and her property is now held in trust.

MRS. LESLIE CARTER SUES.
Actress Alleges That Miss Norma
Monro Owes Her S41,7o9.

NEW YORK, December Mrs. Leslie
Carter-Payne, noted for her auburn hair
and her emotional acting, again is the
outs with her former chum, Miss Norma
Munro, the daughter and heiress of the late
publisher, Norman Munro. Declaring her
belief that Miss Munro has gone to Paris
with intent to defraud her creditors or to
avoid the service of summons" the actress
yesterday afternoon, through her counsel
Andrew r. McLaren of Hoadley, Lauterbach
& johnson, secured from Judge O'Gorman,
in the supreme court an attachment for any
property belonging to Miss Munro.
The actress says Miss Munro owes her
SAL, 199, with interest from October 10 last,
for money loaned. This date adds to the
mystery which enveloped their former diff
ferences. Only two months before the date
mentioned Miss Munro's mother instituted
dispossess proceedings against Mrs. Carter
Payne. 1t was thought that this action
had severed the remaining bonds of friend
ship, but the date from which interest is
demanded seems to indicate that later the
actress aided Miss Munro.
An action for other moneys alleged to
be due was also started at the time of the
dispossess proceedings Friends of the ac-
tress declared then that Mrs. Carter-Payne,
instead of being a debtor to Miss Munro,
was really a creditor, and that the latter
was using automobile belonging to the
former.
The petition in the present action sets
forth that the defendant is a resident of
this state and resides at 81 and SO West
59th street, but cannot, after due dill
gence, be found in this state" AS the
grounds of her belief that Miss Munro is
in Paris Mrs. Payne swears that for sew
eral months she has endeavored to secure
an adjustment of her claims and that her
attorneys have had many conferences with
Henry Bogart Clark, the attorney for Miss
Munro, but that no se...ement has been
rived at and no adjustment made.
The affidavit of Mrs. Payne says that
Mr.. Clark declared that he had no knowl-
edge of the whereabouts of his client.
The petition adds that the deponent is
informed and believes that judgment has
been entered against Miss Munro for sew
eral thousands of dollars in favor of the
Mrs. Osborne Company, and that ION or
about November II, 1906, the defendant
certain real estate in the city of New York,
the consideration being ST."
Mrs. JoSefa N. Osborne, who was en-
gagged in an attempt to operate a society
theater along with Miss Munro, also makes
an affidavit in which she declares that she
is the president of the Mrs. Osborne Com
pany, dressmakers, which secured the judg
ment mentioned, for SS,21914, on April "a
last. The judgment was not paid, according
to the affidavit, which further declares that
upon an execution being issued to the
sheriff that official reported that the de-
PENDANTS whereabouts could not be ascer-
tanned, and that Mrs. Osborne subsequently
heard from several mutual acquaintance
that Miss Munro was in Paris.
Deputy Sheriff Krauss late in the day
levied on Miss Munros interest In two apart
ment houses.

see the waters of Worcester county exclud-
ed from the operation of the law that It
appears from section SO and section III the
Intention of the legislature was to con-
fac the act to the Chesapeake bay and its
tributaries.
II find no support in either OF these sec
tions, in any part of the law, for these
contentious. In section 50 the term 'Chesa-
peake bay and its tributaries. in addition
t. other language, clearly indicates the IN
tention of the legislature to include the
waters of all counties of the state. If there
were any doubt from section 50 that this is
the meaning of the law, section SO, which
must be construed together with section ~
would clear up such doubts. This section
provides specifically that survey shall be
made Of the oyster beds, bars and rocks
fur each of the counties of this state in
which there are such beds, bars or rocks
What Lessees May Do.
-Four questions have arisen under this
section, and all of them important, prac-
t!cai questions.
'First-May lessee Of oyster land lying
within the rivers or within county waters
use dredge or scrape, or is he confined to
the Use of tongs?
"Second-Whether gasoline engine may
be used to work dredge instead of having
it raised by hand.
"Th'rd-May steamboat be used in TAX
ing up oysters from leased land?
"Fcurth-Are the owners of oyster farms
rcstl icted as to the time of taking up oys
tiers from their oyster lands to the present
open season?
Il have answered these questions as fol-
l,ws:
"First-A lessee of any oyster land may
use or edge or scrape or tongs, as he sees
tit, no matter where the land lies.
Second-There can be no doubt about
this question. 1t is entirely clear that gas
oline OF other power engines may be used
to raise a dredge.
''Third-Seamboats may be used to take
up oysters from leased lands.
"Fourth-The lessees of oyster lands may
take up oysters for sale only in the open
season.

BONAPARTE TO TEACHERS.
Advises Them to Give Much Atten.
ton to Naval History.

BALTIMORE, December THE Mary
land History Teachers Association held its
first meeting last night, with a small but
interesting and interested group of persons
present, most of whom were teachers Of
history kindred branches or connected
with the cause of education in Baltimore
The meeting was held in the assembly hall
of the Woman's College.
Secretary of the Navy Bonaparte was the
speaker of the evening. Prof. Robert H.
Wright, principal of the Eastern High
School, presided. Reports were presented
by Mrs. Arthur Barneveld Bibbins, chair
man of the committee on preparing q his
torical guide to Baltimore; Miss Catherine
c. Cleveland, vice president Of the Girls
Latin School, chairman of the membership
committee, and others. The executive COM
mittee, which had arranged the meeting
was composed of Prof. Wright, Mr.. j.
Montgomery Cambria. head of the depart
ment of history in the Polytechnic Institute,
and Dr. Eleanor l.. Lord, professor of his
tory in the Woman's College of Baltimore.
Mr.. Bonapartc's talk all about the
navy, and he urged the teachers of history
to let much of their work and study be
given to it. He declared his own feeling, as
he was in the midst of transformation from
one part of public service to another, might
almost be compared to the change of the
caterpillar to the butterfly. but he feared
that would not be complimentary to either
subject.
Mr. Bonaparte spoke at some length on
discussions relative to the evils of war
and the deSirabllity of peace, and said the
thought on each subject was not new.
II presume Eve settled disputes between
Cain and Abel by practical demonstration"
he said. He compared present conditions
of the navy with those of the early part
of the nineteenth century.
I'VE would probably have had peace in
1912 If we had prepared for it in 1902 to
1S0S,' he remarked; lat least we should
have had war without destruction. Let US
prepare by taking reasonable precautions,
which the lessons of history show us are
necessary
