FIRE
TRANSPORT MEADE IN FLAMES
AT SAN FRANCISCO.
THREE MEN SUFf0CATED

Tons of High Explosives on Board
Only Heroic Work Prevents Enor-
nous Loss of Life-Fifty-Eight
Badly Injured.
San Francisco-Three dead and if-
ty-eight injured, mostly of suffocation,
is the record of fire that ragged upon
the United States transport Meade as
she lay at the Folsom street dock early
Thursday morning.
The dead:
Captain Charles Dakin of San
Francisco, fire engine company No. 4;
fell unconscious into the water of the
hold and was drowned. Leaves a wife
and son.
Hoseman Thomas Hennessey of en-
gine company No. 2; suffocated to
death while fighting the fire in the
hold. Leaves a wife and three chill
dren.
Third Officer George Wallace of the
transport Meade; suffocated while
climbing ladder from the hold ami
fell back unconscious, dying a short
time later. Was twenty-five years OF
age and a native of Sydney, New South
Wales.
The injured all suffered terribly
from suffocation.
For three hours after midnight the
forward hold of the big troopship was
a roaring furnace from which firemen
were borne in an almost continuous
stream. Relays of men promptly
stepped forward to take the places of
those who were carried out uncon-
scious.
Tons of high explosives were loaded
in the after part of the vessel and the
heroic fire laddies worked with the
possibility ever before them that the
flames would reach this compartment
Had this occurred the whole city
would undoubtedly have been shaken
by a terrific explosion, and no man
aboard the ship would have escaped.
Deeds of thrilling heroism marked
the fire. Sailing Master George VIII
son of the Meade fell down a hatch
way and lay crippled and unconscious
with an injured shoulder.
Chief Officer Lassack and others of
/ the crew threw themselves down into
| the hold and managed to struggle back
I out of the pit of death, bearing the
! body of the master, who was borne to
a berth out of reach of the flames and
| there attended to- Lassack was him
self attended to and was rescued from
death by Joseph Cook of Truck No. l.
| and an unknown man, both Of whom
! took their lives in their hands.
The fore part Of the ship. where the
fire broke out, contained the personal
effects of the officers of the Second in
fantry, late from Fort Logan, Colorado,
and of the Eighth and Thirteenth bat
teries of light artillery, and the loss
of property was confined to this part
of the vessel.
Eighty-fve thousand dollars in gold,
being carried as military treasure to
Manila, was rescued from the ship and
guarded by soldiers. Lines of soldiers
also guarded the entrance to the dock.
| Captain Dakin lost his life because
| of his untlinching resolution and
! dauntless courage in fighting the fire.
| The body was found at the foot Of
ladder and carried out.

Shall Lee Become A
County Of Small
Farms.

We hea.d discussion few days ago
on farms, we say. mark it. In five
years time fits coming. EITHER ALL
THE BIG FARMS WILL BE "BUsT-
ED" OR THEIR LABOR WILL BE
ABOUT ON A CONVICT BASIS. Only
the small farmer who has what land he
can work himself, can long survive pre-
ent labor conditions Money don't 90 out
to shrink up. Ii likes to come back
weighing a liule more. 1t can't come
back tnat way unless change comes in
farming, That change can't come with
present conditions. Labor is master now.
The big farm seems doomed--where are
the small farmers to take its place and
make the country prosper. Not in The
negroes--Left alone the gardens would be
come desert under their hands. Only
by immigration, by new blood, that
knows the value of labor and the need at
thrift can a change come. We can hope
for This silver cloud only when the dark
one is removed. Their families will not
dare the dangers Of SIX to ONE. Either
Lee in the next few years by some means,
land Providence only knows how must
become a white mans home and 60 on
improving--or she must become black
mans sport and degenerate. We are at
the parting Of the ways. She can never
prosper like she is.
The breaking up Of the big farms may
be the darkest hour. The Dawn may
come, when the big farm goes ana the
poog man has chance at little home,
after the thousands of negroes have scat
tered, 10 the saw mills and other works.
