Landslide Followed Earthauake.

Tho little town of Karatagh, in the
Kissar district of Bokhara, has been
overwhelmed and completely destroy
ed by a landslide which followed the
earthquake or oct. 81. According to
the latest reports of the disaster a
majority of the inhabitants of Kara
tagh lost their lives.
The first reports of the casualties
were exaggerated, the death list being
placed as high as $4,000. Karatagh
has about $500 dwellers, and there is
reason to believe that about 1,500 were
buried alive. Among those who sur
vived the disaster are the governor of
Karatagh and his mother.
Karatagh is remotely situated and
it takes a full week for news to come
from there, but according to one cour-
Ter who has arrived, an enormous sec
tion of the Karatagh mountain, which
practically hung over the town, broke
loose and Numbered down upon the
village. which is almost completely
buried from sight.
Efforts are being made to communi-
cate with the survivors and learn the
actual state Of affairs and to send in
such relief as may be required.

Strikers Hold Up Navy Repairs.


Striking riveters at the Mare Island
navyyard, San Francisco, have tied up
repair work on the army transport
Sheridan, and as that vessel now occu-
pies the drydock the yard is unable to
take on any additional work in prep
aration for the arrival of the Atlantic
fleet in Pacific waters.
Only about % men are involved but
labor conditions on the Pacific coast
are such that it is said to be almost
impossible to fill their places.
The men were receiving 1892 day
and their helpers 1920. The heaters
received 50 80 day. The riveters
demanded S25 hundred for one-inch
feel rivets and S12 a hundred for
seven-eighths-inch plate rivets. At
this rate they would make in excess
of S25 day, out of which they would
have to pay their helpers about $6
day.
According to the navy department
the men presented their demands and
walked out last Saturday Immediately
following the receipt of the news that
the president had definitely fixed upon
the sailing date of the Atlantic fleet.
The department directed that the rec
ord be made that the men have been
discharged"

IMPORTED LITR0GRAPHERS.
Decision Of Secretary Straus as to
Eight Men Brought In Under
Contract.

Washington, Nov. "a hearing of
general Importance to organized labor
interests was held by Secretary
Straus, Assistant Secretary Murray
and Commissioner of immigration Sar-
gent OF the department of commerce
and labor.
Recently william Voight and seven
other lithographers arrived at Ellis
island from Europe. They had en-
tered into contracts to work for GER
tain employing photographers in New
York. A protest against their ad-
mission was made by the American
Federation of Labor and by the Lith.
ographic Artists, Engravefs and De.
signers League of America on the
ground that it was a violation of the
alien contract labor law. The case
was appealed to Secretary Straus and
he heard both sides Yesterday.
The evidence showed that, acting
on an opinion of Attorney General
Bonapartc in June last. in a case in
which it was held that two lithogra
piers were entitled to admission to
America because there was a scarcity
of their class OF labor in this country,
the employing photographers sent an
agent to Europe and contracted with
Voight and his associates.
Al the conclusion of the hearing
Secretary Sraus decided that the men
should be admitted because the manu-
featuring photographers Of the United
States imported them under contract
I'm good faith in pursuance of Attorney
General Bonspartes opinion. Secre-
tary Straus ruled, however that
should other photographers be brought
over under contract in the future, the
question of their right to admission
would be decided en- the facts found
10 exist at that time.

CONVICT Is INNOCENT.
Allegheny officers Believe Riverside
Prisoner Is Deeply Wronqed.

Pittsburg, Nov. 5.-The state board
of pardons will be petitioned to un-
shackle Robert Simpson, long-term
convict in the Western penitentiary,
who, 1t is said by authority almost
unimpeachable, was convicted of a
crime committed by a man almost his
double.
Simpson has already served five
years in Riverside and recently Alon-
70 Blair, known as the altoona Kid"
who the Allegheny police say commit
ted the crime for which Simpson is
now imprisoned, met a tragic death.
Simpson was convicted in connec-
tion with the safe robbery in the Ir-
win postofIice in Westmoreland coun-
ty about six years ago. John Conlin,
alias Farmer John" another Ale
ghenian, was also sentenced TO the
penitentiary for alleged completely in
the robbery.
Conlin has proven to the satisfac-
tion of the police since his release
from prison that he was in an Allie
gheny saloon for five hours on the
night of the robbery and that Simp-
son was i'll in Allegheny on the same
night.
F. D. Atkins of the Allegheny detec-
tive bureau said last night that Alonzo
Blair and Bill Daily, an expert safe
cracker, robbed the Irwin safe. Blair
was killed on a railroad in Ohio sew
eral months ago and Daily died in the
Columbus penitentiary two years ago,
while serving a long term for another
robbery.
The safe in the Irwin postoffice was
blown open and robbed of several hun
dred dollars by two men after they
had beaten the watchman into insensi-
bility. A young woman employed in
the Irwin telephone exchange, who
heard the explosion, was overpowered
and chloroformed by one of the rob-
bers. who was said to have been
Alonzo Blair While the young wo-
man was struggling with the maraud-
er a second robber entered.
On the following day she described
She robbers, who were masked when
they entered the exchange. The de-
scriptions of the men tailed with that
of Farmer John" and Simpson and
they were promptly arrested and later
sent to the penitentiary, Simpson
and Conlin were convicted on purely
circumstantial evidence. Simpson
was sert to prison for 10 years and
Conlin for six.
When the men were arrested Henry
Muth, who at that time was superin-
tendent of the Allegheny police bureau,
declared they were innocent, but the
suspects were convicted on the testl-
mony of the operator and by shotgun
which was found in Conlin's house in
Allegheny.
Conlin and Simpson, according to
information which has been secured
by Attorney l.. b. Cook, who will make
application for Simpsons pardon, has
found witnesses who will provide affi-
davits that they were in Simpsons
company in Allegheny on the night OF
the Irwin robbery. 1t Is said that he
spent the greater part of the evening
with his wife. who recently died OF
consumDtion

Five COLLEGES Lose Leqacies.

Because Mrs. Lena Head Bodley
of Riverhead. l.. l., married coach
man against the wishes of her
mother and George C. Taylor, who
employed her mother as housekeeper,
Yale. Harvard, Williams, Princeton
and Hobart colleges will each lost
100000.
Instead the Moses Taylor hospital
of Scranton will receive the 100000
and S250000 additional under the will
Of George C. Taylor, which was filed
for probate last week.
Mr.. Taylor. WHO lived in Islip, left
an estate estimated to be worth $20,-
100000. A number Of years ago he
brought Mrs. Betsy Head and her
daughter Lena from Europe to Islip
and made Mrs. Head his housekeeper.
In his will drawn up in 1900 he be-
queathed s2,0OOOOO outright to Mrs.
Head and the income of $5O0,O00 for
life to her daughter. At Miss Lena's
death the $5000O0 was to be shared
in lots of 100000 each by Yale, Har-
ward, Williams, Princeton and Hobart
colleges. Then Miss Lena married
Frederick w. Bodley, Mr.. Taylor's
coachman.
The millionaire thereupon drew
codicil to his will in which he revoked
the bequest to the five colleges and to
Mrs. Bodley and substituted therefor
bequcst OF S75O,OOO to the Moses
Taylor hospital at Scranton, Pa,
which was founded by his father. IN
asmuch as Mrs. Head died before Mr..
Taylor did, the s2,OOO,OOO bequeathed
to her reverted to the Taylor estate.
Under the will Mrs. Bodley, the wife
of the coachmsn, receives nothing, but
1t is said that in lieu of the bequest
Mr. Taylor gave her large sum
possibly 5000O0-before he died.

FOR CREDIT CURRENCY
Congressman Fowler Will Intro.
duce a Bill at Next Session.
Colleges Lose Legacies-PoIice Head
quarters Burned-Striker Hold Up
Navy Repairs-Landslide Followed
Earthquake-Ilegal Employment Of
Children-Coinage Of $15,ooo,0oo.

That permanent relief from the
present and future monetary strin-
gency can only be had through
a proper system of credit currency
adequate to meet the requirements of
trade, and redeemable in gold coin, is
the opinion Of Congressman Charles
II. Fowler Of New Jersey, chairman of
the banking and currency committee,
and at the coming session of congress
he will endeavor to have law passed
providing for credit currency issued
by the national banks.
Congressman Fowler has advocat-
ed for many years credit currency as
a means of preventing tight money.
Many features of the credit currency
system were more than favorably
viewed by many members of the
American National Bankers association
at their convention at Atlantic City
last September, Mr.. Fowler said.
Until such permanent relief is
made possible by legislative enact
mont, Mr.. Fowler declares, the situa-
tion must be met by the issuance of
Clearing House certificates, cashiers
checks and due bills of business houses
and manufacturers.
Mr.. Fowler said: "The underlying
business conditions are essentially
sound as evidenced by the increased
earnings of the railroads and the fact
that the value of our agricultural pro-
ducts this year are s5O0,000,00O more
than last year (Which was the highest
year in our history and were bring
ing 10 our people about s7,000,0O0 900.
But public confidence has been great
ly shaken and credit has been seri-
ously affected-therefore, every pa
triotlc citizen from the president down
should do all In his power to restore
that confidence which is essential to
national prosperity.
IAN issue Of credit currency ade-
Quate to meet the requirements of
trade and currently redeemed in gold
coin is principle followed by every
civilized country in the world except
our OWE"

COINAGE of s1s.ooo,ooo Gold Bullion.

Pursuant to recent directions from
Washington, the coinage of $15,-
100000 of gold bullion will be under
taken Immediately at tn e mint in
San Francisco. No gold has been
coined here since August, the active
force being engaged in the coinage of
Philippine pesos. The mint force was
considerably enlarged and it is thought
that this force will be adequate to
handle the rush order for gold
twenties.
