Block Island, r. l., Feb. 12.-OnIy
19 out of an estimated total of from
$50 to 200 persons survived the sink
ing of the Joy Line steamer Larch-
mont in Block Island Sound last night
two o'clock this afternoon. Of those
saved eight were passengers, six men
and two women, and the rest were
members of the crew, including Cap
tain Mcvey. In the boats which car
ried the survivors are the bodies of
several passengers who were frozen
to death during the trip from the
wreck to the island. 1t is impossible
this afternoon to fix the number of
the dead. Captain Mcvey estimated
the number of passengers at $50 and
the crew at SO. On the basis of these
figures the number of those who per-
ished was placed at 1871. The bodies
of victims were constantly being
washed ashore. BY noon 18 were tax
en- from the water.
Block Island, r. l., Feb. 12.-The
steamer Larchmont, of the Joy line,
with many passengers bound from
Providence for New York, sank off
the northwest side of Block Island
early today after colliding with the
three-masted schooner Harry K1owl
Nh
gers and crew from the steamer took
to the boats, but it is feared that
some may have lost their lives, either
by drowning or freezing, as the TEN
erature is below zero.
The schooner's bow was cut away
and her captain ran her ashore west
of Quonochontaug to prevent he1
sinking. The crew of seven men, in
shore safely in their own boats. The
cause of the collision is unknown
The night was clear, but there was
strong northwest wind and the sea
was rough. When the first boats
came ashore from the steamer it was
found that some of the occupants
were dead. In the confusion it was
not known whether they were pulled
from the water after drowning OF
whether they were frozen to death
The Knowlton sailed from Eastport
and was bound from South Amboy
for Boston with coal. The Larchmon'
left Providence last night for New
York. She carried a crew of abou
fifty and mad some passengers.

of the steamer L.archmont, said tc

ed that Sc will reside in this city.
According to the verdict of the Phil
ippile court which tried the Burbank
divorce suit the ex-lieutenant is still
the legal husband of the Filipino wo-
men and as such is prevented from
marrying again. The court also allow
ed Burbank's wife $50 a month ali
mony. but this has never been paid.
The verdict in the Burbank case Gre
ated a sensation when announced,
since many of the soldiers. are alleged
to have formed alliances with Filipi-
no women, and these were held to
be binding by the court.

The statement published in the
Record of February 4ta in regard to
the so-called reduction il freight
rates on lumber from points on the
G. C. & S. F. railway. was believed
by the Record to be true representa-
ton of the facts in the case. Our in
formation was gathered from the To-
cal lumber dealers. and they assured
us that the lumber shipped from the
above named points to the Pecos Val
ley was but a very small percentage
of the total shipments, and that the
rate made by the Pecos Valley
Lines. to take effect March 18th, was
to all intents and purposes. practi-
cally useless. insofar as any reuuc-
ton would be made under it.
Since this article was published,
we have received a letter from Mr.. D.
L. Meyers, Traffic Manager of the
Pecos Valley Lines, accusing us of
an unfair presentation of the case,
and asserting that there is some
thing or other ranking in the bo-
SOM of the administration of the
Record which prevents it from TAX
ing a liberal view of anything which
concerns the railroad" Mr. Meyers
further asserted that the writer did
not know what he was talking about
when he made the statement that
practically no lumber shipments to
the Pecos Valley originated on the
G. c. & S. F. railway.
Since receiving this somewhat re-
markable letter. a Record representa-
tive endeavored to gather from our
local lumbermen additional facts in
regard to this matter One lumber
man stated to our representative that
not one foot of lumber came to Ros-
well from points on the c. c. & S.
F. railway. This road had 10 large
mills along its line. There was a
Vile, and along this branch there
were three or four small mills. but
they were not in position to ship to
this point. He asserted in the most
emphatic manner that the order. in
question, did not reduce the freight
on lumber to Pecos Valley points.
Another prominent lumberman,
when questioned, said that the order
was worthless in its effects. If the
Santa Fe intended to reduce the lum-
Der rates to the Pecos Valley. why
did it not make this reduced rate,
small reduction though it be, apply
to all shipments brought to this Val
duction on this end of the line where
it would catch all shipments? Prac-
tically all the lumber brought to Ros-
well is ordered for immediate deliv-
cry by wire, and the originating point

LOOK OUT ron IT.

There is line of patent medicine
and other advertising of that kind
now creeping into the newspapers Of
the country that should not be per-
mitted, not because of the qualities
Of the goods, for we know nothing Of
these, but for the method adopted in
advertising.
The ads in question are run In the
news columns and are very much on
the order Of the matter that appears
in special departments of the papers,
ssch as the home column" "the
farm" the woman" etc. To all
appearances the recipe is simple
home remedy, but there Is always
s0e specific ingredient mentioned In
ali tha ads, and that is the Niger In
the woodpile. To even we'll in.
formed people the ad Is deceivinR, as
1t partakes SO much of news article
with sprinkling Of editorial advice.

RooSEvELT'S RELIEF.

President Roosevelt has again
shown himself as the master mind OF
the country by the action taken to
relieve the present money trouble.
BY issuing $50, 900, 900 of Panama
bonds, backed by the government,
and also issuing 500, OO0, 900 worth
of certificates of Indebtedness, bear
ing 8 per cent interest, any strin.
gency In the money market will be
relieved. These bonds and notes are
Intended especially for small invest
srs and are absolutely guaranteed by
the United States government. The
bonds will be issued in s2e and 800
denominations and the certificates,
which are the same as a government
sote, will he in $50 denominations,
and will be paid for in currency by
the government one year from No
vember 20.
Now If you have 500, $50, 500 or
any other sum that is not working
and you want to invest 1t in gov
ernment Dond and have it draw in
terest. take the money to your local
banker and have him buy Panama
bond or United States treasury
certificate for it. 1t is just the same
as buying postal money order with
It and 1t will, besides, draw interest.
Read the newspapers and ask any
reliable business man, In whom you
have confidence, about the matter.
He viii tell you it is the safest place
In the world in which to put your
money.
The Greeley tribune., 1907-11-21

OF course the advertising rate lor
such matter is high, but for all OF
that decent newspaper should be
above leading persons into buying
things apparently upon the recon-
mendation OF the paper In whose Ut
terances they have great confidence
III foreign advertising Is TO DE
handled at all 1t should be OF such
a nature that there is no chance

CREEPING ALONG.

A current issue Of Life pup
fishes a striking cartoon entitled
This World of Creepers. 1t rep
resents the people, hundreds ane
thousands Of them, creeping on the1l
hands and knees along the earth,
while above them RACES storm ol
fear, and the expression on the
faces of those In the foreground Is
one OF terror 1t is the artists con-
ception OF practically all our people,
afraid of themselves. afraid OF others,
afraid of the Almighty, of life and
of death.
What weak kneed, weak. backed
and weak headed lot we are anyway.
Just the least thing out of the ordi.
nary throws US into tit of terror
and brings to the front our absolute
selnshness. Right now our partic-
ular fright is that we may lose few
dollars and we are hurrying about,
playing all kinds Of tricks, bull doz-
lug here, cajoling there, deceiving
in another place, in order to throw
the loss upon some other, II there
should be any loss, thinking little
and caring less for the fact that
every move of this kind we make we
are pulling down the house upon our
own heads. But then, we are only
creepers In adversity. even II the ad-
versity is only the fetish of oun own
imiganitions. Right today, II only
two million people out of our eighty
odd millions, would have the courage
to put into the banks the $40, $50,
sleO or 81, 600 that they have hidden
away on their person, in old attics or
other hiding place, the whole money
fear OF the country would vanish like
mist before the sun. But we must
have our periodical scare. II it is
not our petty savings that We are in
fear Of losing then 1t Is small pox.
If not that, then something else,
equally trivial.
So it is, and so it will be until
every man and woman learns to
think for himself or for herself.
Have faith and confidence In your
neighbor, but learn to have more in
yourself. You are weak or strong
just as you make yourself. II you
want to continue a creeper, then rush
on With the herd, II you want to be
a walker, then shake of imaginary
bogies, stand against the tide and
help others to their feet. Soon all
will be standing and see how ridicu.
lous they have been.

MAl0NEY AGAINST
BOYCOTT

In speaking Of the attitude the
unions should assume toward firms

Thomas MalOney. president of the
Central Labor union. said today it
was up TO the unions to find
grounds for the teams, failing in
which they should have a right to
play any place they could secure,
He held the unions could not con-
sistently boycott the business of a
firm owning a team in the league
if there were no other grounds OBJ
tainable than NatatOrium park.
There is no likelihood of the
unions raising the boycott on Ma
tatorium park until the trouble is
settled which now exists between
the unions and the w. w. P. Co.

BIG HUNDRED
MILL BURNED:

Linden Jeffers, a millhand at the
Humbird mill, at Standpoint, Idaho,
was brought to Sacred Heart hos
pital early this morning. He sus-
tanned broken leg last night while
fighting the fire which destroyed
the plant.
About II O'Clock last night fire
broke out in the mill from an I'M
known cause and before the fire
department could do anything the
property was a mass of flames. The
loss will probably amount to 5000,
900. The mill was one of the larg
est in this section and employed
many hands. 1t was included in the
Weyerhaeuser syndicate and will be
rebuilt.
