Disaster Laid at Door of the Missing
Southern Railway Empioyee.

Lynchburg, Va, Dec. 1.-The cause
of the awful wreck near Lawyers de-
pot, in which president Samuel Spen-
Ger and members of his party of prom-
inent New York and Baltimore men
lost their lives, is laid absolutely at
the door of G. .. Mattoax, the opera
tor who was in charge of the block
telegraph station at Rangoon.
Mattoax, who disappeared after be-
ing relieved less than an hour after the
accident, has not been found despite
the fact that railway detectives have
secured the country around the wreck
and about his home at Sandy Level, in
Pittsylvania county, forty miles from
the scene of the accident on a small
branch line of the Southern.
The condition of all the wounded in
the local hospitals, including President
Spencer's private secretary, e. 4. Mer-
rill. is very. encouraging. The negroes
who We're injured and taken to the
city hospital are doing wei, and 1t Is
believed that all will recover.

PUTS FATHER IN JAIL.
Lads Appeal to Alderman Brinss
Peace to Family.


Wilkesbarre, Pa, Dec. IA pathetic
appeal made in writing to Alderman
Donohue by twelye-year-old James
Maloney resulted in his father being
sent to Jail, and the family for once
enjoyed peace and quiet.
The youngster went to the alder
mans Office and presented what he
had written. 1t was:
Thomas Maloney is drinking over
2 weeks the worce kind Of people

New York, Dec. 1.-Business was in
terrupted by the Thanksgiving holiday,
but conditions warranted more than
ever before day def&.ted to CRATE
full recognition. says I}cn's review of
trade. In all departments OF agricui-
tural, industrial and mercantile actiyi
ty the current year is surprising even
the phenomenal record of 1908, which
in turn eelipsed all preceding years.
Prosperity in this country is based on
especially sound conditions. and sue
cess abroad contributes an important
element in the enlargement of our for
eign commerce.
Reports from leading cities indicate
that trade was well maintained dur
ing the past week, and further i'm
provement is noted in mercantile col
lections. Holiday goods continue to
occupy position Of prominence, but
distribution of staples is on a large
scale. Leading manufacturing indus
tries are receiving orders Cor delivery
far into next year, the volume of for
ward business being exceptional for
iron and steel products. and sharp
advance in the price Of raw cotton
testifies to the consumption BY spin
ners. Many other textile plants have
followed the example of Fall River
mills, advancing wages to the highest
level ever attained in that industry,
while the full statement for the third
quarter shows the largest distribution
Of dividends in recent years.

especially commended when the mo-
tive is emphasized in eliminating the
American product from the competitive
markets
The statement continues:
In the prosecution of its aggressive
industrial policy the Standard Oil CON-
pany believes itself to be fairly entitled
TO the encouragement that other gov
ernuenfs are giving to similar business
interests"

fcer of High Rank - NIl<ado's EN-
pire Not In Financial Condition to
Consider War.
Washington, Dec Nothing that
has happened in a year, it is reported,
has aroused President Roosevelt and
the members Of his cabinet more than
the stories sent from here that there is
friction between this government and
Japan. The suggestion that this fric-
ton might in the end make a war
cloud is regarded as nothing short Of
humorous. The heads of no two ma
tions are on more friendly terms than
the emperor of Japan and the presi-
dent of the United States, it is de-
clared.
It is true that the United States as
much as Japan is concerned because
Of the attitude Of the San Francisco
local authorities on the school ques-
tion, but it is also true that there is no
division of opinion between the United
States and Japan in respect of the OBJ
stacles that have arisen. The authori-
ties in Tokyo understand clearly the
local conditions in California and in
the chief city Of that state The situa-
ton was discussed with members Of
the cabinet Senator Frank Flint Of
California and Benjamin Fde Wheeler,
president OF the University of Califor-
MIA. A compromise was suggested by
Flint ana Wheeler that all japanese
admitted to the schools, but they in
sisted on drawing the line against the
free education of noncitizens whose
age is more than twenty.
Want Adult Japanese Barred.
Both Senator Flint and President
Wheeler agreed that a state or city
law barring adult japanese from the
public schools would be satisfactory
Adults, even American citizens, are
now barred from the schools of nearly
every state in the Union.
Apart from any understanding be-
tween the two as@ons it is recognized
here that the talk of a war is non
sense. 1t will take Japan at least
twelve years to recover from the fnan-
cial consequences of her victory
against Russia. Were she anxious to
fight she couldn't begin with the Unit
ed States at this time but from what
is heard here the. .Japaaesev vhaEe no de.
sire to imperil what they have gained
in Korea and lose what they hope to
make permanent in Manchuria. Above
al, they are satisfied that the United
States government is friendly.
There has been some foolish talk
here because the Asiatic feet and the
Pacific squadron has been strength
ened. AS a matter of fact, the whole
amounts to much less than the Allan
tic feet.
At an early date it is expected the
Asiatic feet and the Pacific squadron
will be merged into one Pacific fleet
under the supreme command of flag
officer of the highest rank il, the same
manner as the Atlantic feet is now or
ganized.
