WOULD LIMIT FAMILIES.
Professor Ross of Wisconsin Opposes
Roosevelt Idea.

ttOOo(NCtl fQCds
Madison, Wis.-Taking issue with
President Roosevelt on the desirable
ity of raising large families, Professor
Edward A. Ross, head Of the sociol-
ogy department of the Wisconsin
state university, yesterday told his
class that restriction in the birth
rate is a movement which at the bot
tom is salutary, that evils in it's train
appear to be minor, or transient, or
self-limiting, or durable"
Professor Ross is himself the father
of three children.
After declaring that restriction in
the birth rate was salutary, Professor
Ross, anticipating widespread opposi-
ton to such an assertion, added:
Il take my stand with those who
hate famine, war, saber-toothed COM
petition, class antagonism, degradation
OF the masses, wasting of children.
dwarfing of women and cheapening of
men.

more than three regarded as a public

BELL INcENsED AT COLORADO.
Haywood Not Guilty, He says-ver-
dict Shocks Peabody.

| Denver, Col, July 29.IGenera
Sherman Bell, who repressed dynami
tiers and rioters in Cripple Creek, says
of Haywood's acquittal:
Haywood never was legally, tech
nically or criminally guilty of the
murder Of Steunenberg, in my opinion
But he was sneakingly and in an un-
American manner officially transport
ed from Colorado into Idaho, held in
Jail for over a year and tried for the
murder Of Steuenberg on general
principles by lot of political and
otherwise towards from Colorado, who
did not possess the brains nor the
necessary nerve to carry out their part
of the deal, but Judged the whole bust
ness on Idaho, who is now holding the
sack"
General Bell says congress should
deprive Colorado of statehood and
make her territory under some ap-
propriate name for her misdeeds."
Former Governor Peabody said Of
the Haywood jury's verdict:
Il don't know what to make of it.
I believe that Haywood was given as
fair trial as any man ever had and
considered that the state had made
clear and convincing case against
him. How the jury could have reach
ed such a verdict is wholly beyond my
mprehension and I must wait for
further and fuller reports from Boise
before I can form anything like a de-
finite opinion of reasons which actual
ed the jury in acquitting Haywood"
The Denver trades assembly passed
resolutions rejoicing in Haywood's
acquittal, and sent him congratula-
tons by wire.

big STEAMER Burns
FATAL ACCIDEND ON LAKE
CAYUGA, n. Y.
Steamer In Flames In Middle Of Lake
Mad Race to Shore, Who're the
Steamer Was Beached In Seven
Feet Of Waten--NIne Lives Were
Lost.

Auburn, N. Y, July 29.-The steam
boat Frontenac was burned and
beached opposite Farley's point at
Lake Cayuga and nine lives were lost.
The victims were all women and
children passengers and all were
drowned. Several other passengers
were severely burned before the boat
could be beached. She lies burned
and blackened under seven feet of
water. The bodies of the drowned
women and children have been recov-
cred. The following were drowned
and the bodies subsequently recov-
ered Miss Homer Genung Free
vile; Carl Genung, Z years old; Mrs.
Zalia McCreery, Cohoes; Miss Ida
Bennett, Frankfort; Miss Stella Gin
ton, Ithaca; Miss Marietta Sullivan,
Syracuse; 6-year-old daughter of
Howard Able, South Bloomington;
two unidentified women
The most seriously burned are:
Mrs. Able. South BIoomingsburg;
Eliza futile, Middleton; Charlotte
Brigham, Syracuse.
The steamer, on old sidewheeler,
double-deck craft, which has piled be-
tween Ithaca and Cayuga on Lake
Cayuga for rs years, left the former
place this afternoon for the upper
lake, carrying so passengers and a
crew of 70.
In midlake fire broke out In the en-
CINE room and, famed by a stiff north
east wind, spread quickly to the af-
terward section of the boat. The
crew of II men behaved splendidly,
fighting the flames at first, but seeing
that nothing could be saved turned
all their attention TO the passengers.
Life preservers were put on every
one that could be found in the brief
time, but in spite of their efforts nine
persisted. Captain Brown directed
the work Of the crew and was the last
to leave the burning boat.
In strong contrast to the bravery
Of the crew was the panic and in some
instances cowardice of many men
among the passengers. In trying to
save themselves they seriously i'm
peded the work of the crew. When
the flames were first discovered in
midlake Captain Brown turned the
bow of his little steamer toward the
shore and set his crew to work to sub
1ue the flames if possible and to calm
he passengers and see they got life
The flames made rapid Roadway,
however, and there was great excite
nent among the passengers as they
we're driven to the bow Of the boat.
The boat was beached at Farley's
point. Men from the summer cot
ages did valiant work in rescuing
he passengers and in caring for the
injured. 1t is not known just how
he women and children were thrown
nto the water. 1t is thought, how
ever, that they became panic-stricken
and either jumped into the water as
he boat neared the shore or were
orced overheard in their rush to get
nto the boats that put off.
