KILLED At LONG RANGE.
How Moro Women and Children Are Said To
Have Met Death.

Manila, (By Cable)-Further investi-
CATION develops the fact that many
women and children were saved in the
attack against Moro outlaws on Mount
Dajo recently. Those killed were kill
ed at long range and by shell fire.
The attack was delayed six months
while Governor Scott was trying to
persuade the outlaws to surrender. All
overtures were scorned, and the de-
fant attitude of the leaders of the out
laws and the Arab priests persuaded their
followers that the Government would be
unable to dislodge them from their for
tress within two years.
Leading Moros, in their desire for the
determination of the outlaws, aided the
troops in the fight. Two hundred Moros
under the direction of leading dattoes
formed columns and carried water to the
troops.
The reports of company and troop COM
manders to Major-General Wood show
that every effort was made to save
women and children. After the fight
was over, General Wood ordered sup
plies and assistance for the women and
children remaining alive in the crater.

TWENTY ONE PEOPLE
BURNED IN TRAIN WRECK
Head-on Collision of Two Trains the Denver
and Rio Grande During Snowstorm-
A Signal Operator Asleep.

Pueblo, Col, (SpeciaD-Some two
score lives were crushed out IN mead
on collision of two passenger trains
near Adobe, Col, on the. Denver ana
Rio Grande Railroad, and more than a
score of the victims were incinerated be-
yond Identification by fire that destroy
ed the wrecked coaches. More than a
score were injured, but all will probably
recover.
The reck was due to undelivered Or
ders, heavy mountain grades, a binding
snowstorm, a sharp curve and the Slip
perv condition of the rails. Only the
locomotive, baggage and day coaches
were wrecked, the sleeping cars escap-
ing almost unscathed, as in the Eden
disaster on the same road in 1904, when
part of train ran into Hooded canyon
through a washed-out bridge.
Many of the dead were homeseekers
bound for the Northwest. The three
crushed locomotives set fire to the splin-
tered coaches, and it was hours before
all the bodies were recovered, the flames
being so hot that rescuers could not APP
proach the debris until the fuel burned
out.
1t was a wild, stormy night IN the
mountain canyons when the two heavy
trains met. binding snow darkened
the rocky gorges and speed was not
high.
Suddenly headlights flashed out, and it
was realized by the engineers that some
thing was wrong. According to Fireman
J. H. Smith, of the westbound train,
Engineer Walter Coslett applied the
emergency brake, but the slippery sails
allowed the momentum of the heavy train
to carry it on to the fatal crash
The impact was scarcely noticeable,
but the trains crushed and ground into
each other. The helper engine of the
westbound train acted as cushion,
minimizing the force and weight of the
heavy mountain engines. This helper
was crushed together like so much pa
per and the larger locomotives ran
through the mesh of iron and plowed
each other to pieces
Fireman Smith was the only one of the
engine crews to escape. The baggage
car of the westbound train broke in two
and three coaches were squeezed togethL
er. The baggage car, the mail car and
coach of the eastbound train buckied,
but none of the cars telescoped.

were dashed by the enactnent in 1850, of
a stringest statute ordaining that no one
should pay or should receive a higher
wage for labor than had been paid pre-
vious to the plague. The intention Was
to restore and perpetuate by statute the
precise economic condition that had been
rudely disturbed by the hand of the AL
mighty through the visitation of the
plague The Improvement in the economic
condition of the wage-earners through
higher wages would have been won at the
expense of the landed classes. Such a re-
adjustment of social conditions, such a
disturbance of the social equilibrium was
to the mind of the ruling classes of that
day a thing not to be tolerated nor to
be thought of.
by the statute of 1910. and those fol-
lowing it, It was made crime either to
pay or to receive a higher wage for labor
than had been customary before the
plague. If work could be had In his own
community, 1t was made a crime for a
laborer to leave there to engage In work
elsewhere. 1t mattered not that the labor
err might be able to earn a far higher
wage in other places than was paid in his
own community, for this betterment OF

Which is it to be?
Time to Begin.
If we are to walk safely in the way of
wisdom there is much to be done. It is
time to begin. There must be, first,
return to conservative and economic
methods, a readjustment of national ideas
such as to place agriculture, and its
claims to the best intelligence and the
highest skill that the country affords, in
the very forefront. There must be
national revolt against the worship of
manufacture and trade as the only forms
of progressive activity and the false no.
ton that wealth built upon these at the
sacrifice of the fundamental form of
wealth production can endure. A clear
recognition on the part of the whole peo-
pie from the highest down to the low
est, that the tillage of the soil is the
natural and most desirable occupation
for man, to which every other is sub
sidary and to which all else must in the
end yield, is the first requisite Then
there win be a check administered to
the city movement that lowered the per-
centage of agricultural labor to the whole
body of persons engaged In gainful oeeu-
pations in the United States from 443 in
1880 to 81 in 1890, and to S57 in 1900.
With public interest firmly fixed upon
the future the country, in mere self
preservation. must give serious attention
to the practical occupation of restoring
agriculture to its due position in the

AMERICA SCORES
OYER GERMANY
FIRST TRIALS FOR ROOSEVELT
CUP SHOW DECIDED ADVANT-
AGE FOR THE AMERlcANs-AUK
COMES ACROSS FIRST.

Marblehead, Mass, September s.-Amer-
lea scored a decisive triumph over Ger
many in the first race of the series for
the Roosevelt cup off here today. The
American yacht AUX. owned by Charles
Francis Adams. SECOND treasurer of Har-
ward university won in the initial con-
test by a large margin. Vim owned by
Commodore Clark of the American Yacht
club Of New York was second. three
minutes, 2s seconds behind. The third
boat to cross the finish line was the
German yacht Wannsze, owned by the
Wannsze Sailing club of Kiel, Germany.
The fourth yacht was the Carqmba,
owned by c. H. w Foster of the East
ern Yacht club. while Tilly VI and
Glueckauf ", two German craft, were
in fifth and sixth places respectively.
Practically during the entire contest
the race devolved between AUX and Vim.
At no time did the German craft or the
Caramba become dangerous although the
oft-expressed desire of the German
yachtsmen, for plenty of wind was
granted
At the start, which was LILO a. M, the
wind blew at rate of from u to Is
miles an hour, directly from the south
west, but when the yachts were ready for
the second time over the triangular
course an 1S-knot breeze was running.
Rain fell during the greater part of the
time, but Just before AUX reached the
finish line the sun broke through the
clouds, and the finish was a magnificent
picture.
The race was twice over a triangular
course of two and half miles to a leg,
making total distance of fifteen miles,
and the first leg was to winward.
There were many score of yachts, large
and small, on hand, their decks filled with
people eager to see the race
