several other business men of Gallo.
Plans are already laid out for the erection

JAMAICA NEEDS
A NEW GOVERNOR

KINGSTON. Jamaica. Jan. 2l.-An
extraordinary assertion of official
dignity on the part OF Governor
Swettenham has brought the relief
work practically to a halt The gov
ernor yesterday sent message to
Admiral Davis containing request
to withdraw all the marines he had
sent ashore to aid in the work of
relief and sanitation.
The American admiral immediate
ly visited the governor and assured
him that In view of his evident dis.
approval of the work being done by
American marines he would at once
re-embark all OF his men and with
draw the battleships Indiana, Missou-
ri and the gunboat Yankton, which
had come here from Yankton for the
purpose OF aiding in the rescue and
relief work. The vessels arrived at
Guantanamo this morning.
The incident created a sensation
and 1t is presumed the caiiae Of tho
s~,vrnor order Is that President
Roosevelt declined to accept British
aid for San Francisco at the time OF
the earthquake.
LONDON. Jan. 2i.-Tbe Pail Mall
Gazette this Afternoon says:
'The language employed by Gov
ernor Wettenham would be difficult
to Justify in almost any circumstan-
ces." At the same time the paper
thinks 1t possible that a praisewor-
thy desire to do his utmost in the
cause OF humanity pushed Admiral
Davis beyond the necessities OF the
case and led him to encroach upon
the sphere Of British authority.
The Pail Mall Gazette assumes
that both the governor and Admiral
Davis were animated by the best of
motives. and expresses the opinion
that the abnormal conditions pre-
clude their conduct being judged by
ordinary standards and adds:
"Englishmen certainly do not wish
the misunderstanding to be magni-
fed In any sense OF pique. and the
American public ought to be broad
minded enough to regard 1t with the
same charitable disposition.
The Westminster Gazette says
about the same thing.

THRRE HAU1'E, Ind. Jan. 21. -
The death list completed last night
perhaps does not include all the
lives lost when crowded train on
the Big Four was blown from the
the tracks while running at the rate
OF fifty miles an hour by the explo-
sion of carload of powder standing
on siding.
The explosion came just as the
passenger train was abreast OF the
powder car.
Twenty-Five people were instantly
killed and over thirty badly injured.
The explosion shook the earth for
thirty miles and tore human beings
and freight cars Into atoms, but SO
slight was the downward force that
tracks were uninjured and trains are
running as usual this morning.

of Illinois.
Aided by a terrific gale high wa
ters have claimed hundreds of small
launches and boats as victims. Esti-
mating the damage already done, 1t
Will not reach far above the million
mark.
So far five people have lost their
lives near here. but as soon as tel
ephone and telegraph connections

death list will go soaring.
All along the tempestuous Ohio
people are In distress. Newport, Ind,
reports forty-five people in that vi
cinity homeless. Indiana towns
which are high and dry are caring
for refugees. At rockport more
than fifty half-starved families are
being cared for, having been rescued

in warehouses. schoolhouses and 9TH
er buildings.
CINCINNATI, Jan. 21.-The Ohio

Lombroso, a world-famous criminal

He thinks that the epileptic form
of madness which controls him Is
traceable, not 30 much the fact that
he is the child of father who, by

this that history demonstrates that
