IN lie charges which the Balti-

making against Mr.. Austin /.
Cr"thcrs may or may not be true The
Editor al the WING can bear per-
>"nal testimony only to the charge Of
what we consider highly improper par
ticipation in party politics while oc-
cupying the Judicial station. This we
have said, and still say, in our judg-
ment, puts Mr.. Crothcrs out Of the
class OF men who should be exalted to
the gubernatorial office. As to the
truth or ialsity OF the other charges
we cannot say. But we can express
Our convection OF two very impressive
aspects OF this controversy. First, it
is very unusual, and very unfor-
tunate situation that the candidate for
Governor al the State S..ould be sub
Ject to such serious accusations from
so many reputable sources in his own
ba;liwick. Second. it is OF the highest
Importance that this candidate should
meet these charges and thoroughly re-
lutte them il he can. The mere asser-
ton that they are an odd story" does
not relieve the record. Some OF them
are not old, by any means, and if
they were. age cannot wither their sig
nifcance. Neither will cowardly cries
OF ''mudslinging" and hysterical APP
peals for sympathy, as Of one abused.
suffice. When the people are asked to
eNalt man as governor over them
they have a right to know his record,
be it clean or unclcan If that record
leads through mud then through
mud we must go The record cannot
and should not be covered The peo-
pie have a right to know They are
entitled to some explanation from Mr..
Crothers OF these numerous and grave
charges. which have hung like dark

Big TIDAL WAYE HITS LINER
Prinz August Wilhelm, in from
Kingston, Reports Rough Trip.
Passengers in Terror when Wall Oi
Water SmaShes Steamship In
West Indies.

New York. April 22,-Tidal waves are
getting to be almost everyday affairs,
apparently, in southern waters; so much
so. at least, that mariners are keeping a
special watch for them.
To-day the Atlas liner Prinz August
Wilhelm got into port from Kingston
with parts Of her superstructure consider
ably battered up as the result Of an en-
counter with one on her outward trip On
the morning of April 3
The wave hoped up out Of the horizon
in a. comparatively easy sea and bore
down on the ship a wall Of water fifty
feet high. according to the estimate Of
Chief Officer William Vullman. who was
at the wheel.
The steamship was then about 432 miles
west of San Salvador. She was running
before a moderate northerly gale with the
seas rolling from north 10 south All
the night previous there had been a very
brilliant electrical display TO the south.
The southern horizon looked at times as
if the aurora borealis had shifted down
from the north.
At 1880 o'clock that morning. while the
vessel was running easy and shipping not
even spray, the lookout suddenly yelled
Big wave TO starboard, sir" To the per-
plexity and alarm of Capt, Bote and Chief
Officer Yullman, and to the fright Of the
fourteen passengers, who were all on
deck. an immense wall Of water could be
seen bearing down from the east and
travelling directly athwart the course Of
the normal waves. It seemed To lick up
the smaller waves as it rushed onward
like a SNOWFALL
There was scarcely time to head the
Prinz august up into it. The passengers
did, not even have time to get below The
wave struck, and for a moment practically
engulfed the ship. It broke high over the
bridge. II picked Up some of the passen-
gers and swirled them about the deck
drenching and bruising them and soaring
them out OF their wits.
A Miss MeIersh. of Philadelphia, would
have been washed overheard had she not
been grabbed by Chief Engineer DOhsa
Mr. Dohsa, himself, was knocked against
a stanchion and had his nose broken. DR.
Stanley. the ships surgeon, was hurled
against q cabin door and he still bears
the marks.
A half dozen doors were stove in and
alleys and stateroonls flooded waist high
fore and aft. On the boat deck the top
most OF the ship, stout oak chest. con-
tanning life-preservers, was smashed TO
pieces.
The fact that this wave came from. an
other quadrant than the one from which
the wind was blowing, together with its
unusual size, makes it certain that it was
caused by an earthquake under the sea
or by some other submarine disturbance. )"
said Capt. Bote to-day. When we reached
Kingston we learned that tidal wave
had hit Porto Rico the same day. There
seem 10 be unusual doings under the sea
these days.

who seemed badly frightened. and after
twice being asked who his father was. the
boy pointed to the man who was returning
down the aisle
The brakeman called the attention of
several passengers TO the pair, and it was
decided TO inform the police in this city
but when the train stopped the man
jumped of the side farthest from the sta
ton, and. dragging the boy along quickly,
got away before policemen could be found
