LANDSLIDE KILLS
NINETEEN PERSONS
Excavation in Brickyard Causes
Houses to Drop One Hundred Feet
in the Night. Houses Catch Fire
and Victims Perish in Flames.

HAVERSTRAW, n. i. JAN. TO-
As near as could be learned this after
noon nineteen persons lost their lives
in a landslide which occurred Eere
last night. they are mostly employees
of the brick yard here or small shops
nearby.
The landslide occurred at the end
of Rocklend street, and eight houses
vera carried over a clay bank into the
blick exc tvations, dropping down a
hundred feet.
The slide is supposed to have been
caused by the fact that those ing
in the brick yard dug too close to the
end of the street. Most of the peopla
were in bed when the catastrophe oc-
cured.
Afterward the slide the houses
caught ON fire and persons who went
down perlshed in the flames.
The great slip of clay carried away
the water maiu, which supplied the
fire hydrants and when the firemen
arrived at the scene they found no
water with which to extinguisb the
blaze in the ruins of houses which
had so suddenly been sent over the
bank.
The fire was not extirguished until
this morning. At two O'Clock this
afternoon not single hody had been
recovered 1t is believed all were in
cinerated. The walls of neighboring
houses are cracking and it is feared
the whole northeast end of the village

(By E. C. Snyder.)

Washington, Dec. 5.-While the gov
ernment has been jealous in fighting
rebates and freight determinations on
land, it has not touched the case of
such rebates and determinations in the
over sea trade, except as applied to
through freight from the interior
points. If the owners of a foreign
vessel wish to grant rebate to a
shipper, or to charge one shipper q
higher rate than another, what Is to
prevent them? Incidentally, as the
majority of the vessels now carrying
cur commerce now fly the British,
French or German flag. it is reason
able to suppose that rebates or dis
ordinations would be in favor of the
English, German or French shipper
rather than the American. But II we
had merchant marine of our own,
built up under the fostering care of
the government, it could be regulated
as easily as the railroads. or more 50.
AS it is the American shippers are
absolutely at the mercy of foreign
owners.
