TO PLAN
CAMPAIGN

The Federated Mems clubs of the
city will meet Tuesday evening at
the Masonic temple. A banquet has
been arranged for 800, and every
seat will. it is believed, be taken.
The announced purpose of the
mems clubs is to bring pressure on
the old political parties to compel
the nomination of some man for
mayor in the coming city election
who will give the city a clean,
honest administration. 1t is claim
ed there is no intention of placing
an Independent ticket in the field.
d. T. Ham, chairman of the re-
publican city central committee,
will preside. The clubs have been
organized during the last few
months in several of the churches
of the city.

FAMILY FROZEN
To DEATH

CALGARY, Alberta, Jan. 21.-An
entire family wiped out is the sum
total of a tragedy which occurred
at this place. Definite particulars
can naturally not be ascertained,
but the police on breaking into the
house of Edward Ferdinand found
the father in bed, the body of a
newly born infant by his side, while
the mother was lying on the floor.
All three were frozen to death.
Two boys were found in another
room but they expired while being
taken to the hospital from the eff
fects of the cold.

SOUTHERN NEGROES TO
DIG BIG PANAMA DITCH
Special Correspondent to The Press.


WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan. 21.-
! Southern negroes are to be the
| labor employed in digging the Pan
| anna canal. This is the meaning of
| the low bid of w. j. Oliver and An
| son NJ Bangs, contractors, to whom
! the bid will be awarded. Their bid
of 6 75-1O0 per cent was a fraction
below that of Geo. Pierce & Co. of
Frankfort, Me, and New York city,
who bid 1900 per cent.
Letting the work to the Oliver
| firm does away with the vexed ques-
| ton of Chinese labor. This firm has
done it's principle business in build
| ing railways in the southern states.
The only labor which it employs is
southern legroes, and its success
with the negro race is remarkable.
| 1t is said to be, in fact, the only
firm which is successful in getting
| good work out of the southern
| American negroes.
AS a result of letting this con-
! tract to Oliver & Co., thousands of
black men will be taken from south
| ern state to the isthmus. Just what
| effect THIS may have on the south
ern plantation labor problem is an
other matter.
The success of these contractors
with negro laborers is said to be
due to their providing plenty of
amusement for them. Crap games
and other innocent forms of gam
bling are not interfered with; the
men can take their wives or sisters
with them, and the men are encour-
LACED to sing their plantation melo-
dies and to indulge in dancing and
other innocent diversions. 1t is the
plan of the contractors also to rIil
special boats from the United
States TO the Panama strip, afford
ing passage both ways for the ne
groes desiring to go and come, SO
that they may visit their friends II
they become hon:osick, and come
| DacK again, DOdlS are dlSO W NC
provided for those who are taken
i'll, so they may be at once sent
back to the states to be nursed by
their friends.
Another interesting thing about
{ the Oliver contract is the fact that
, the money will not be supplied by
. the Rockefeller interests. Just
where the money will come from
is not definitely known, but it is
known that none of it will come
from the National City Bank of
New York. There is shrewd guess
that this will not grieve the heart
of President Roosevelt, and he is
also said to be much pleased with
the idea of having the canal dug by
American negroes.
The Oliver-Bangs bid is supported
by an offer to sign personal bonds
amounting to 100000. The assets
of VIM. J. Oliver himself are rated
L at 100000 and those Of his part
liner at 100000.

THIRTY HOURS ALIVE
IN A FUNERAL PYRE
Special Correspondent to The Press.

Special Correspondent to The Press.
NEW YORK, Jan. 21-"Pm happy
because my wife is happy" were
the first words, breathed in a whis-
per, as his comrades pulled him
out to air and life, of Fireman John
j. Seufert, who lay for 30 hours
nearly smothered-without food or
drink-in a veritable funeral pyre
made by the ruins of paper ware
house in which two of his fellow
firemen met death.
To cheer Seufert, his comrades
sang Waiting at the Church" and
other popular songs while they
worked desperately for his release.
His wife, who for half a day be-
lieved herself widow and gave up
to overwhelming despair, rushed to
the ruins when Seulert was known
to be alive, and her greeting was
the first to reach him as he was
brought forth from the still smold-
ering ruins.
How does it feel to be buried
alive in a funeral pyre?
Here is how Seufert describes it:
There was a crash when | was
stringing a line of hose on the third
floor. | jumped, but the floor and
me with it fell through the flames
to the basement. Two big bales of
stock were on either side of me,
and | fell in a sitting position on a
wooden box-my prison for 80
hours.
Il felt often the box sink and set
tie, and would shut my eyes to the
death that was all around me. Then,
first one bale and next the other
seem to be crowding in on me as
the mass of rubbish under us set
tied.
Il believe l was awake the whole
time, but when they finally brought
me up into the night air | thought
it was the same night of the fire.
Water continued to pour down
over me, sometimes in torrents. My
helmet, in the fall, was jammed
down over my nose, and this prob
ably saved me from drowning.
Sometimes there would be gushes
of water from below, which filled
my eyes, nose and mouth with the
foul stuff.

fit to him and will probably only
ease his last few days on earth.
Thus far Mulligan has not left
the poor farm, saying he will wait
until he has his money in his hand
before he leaves his present abode
to take up another more luxuriant
home.
AS soon as Identification is COM
plete, for Mulligan was found only
after a long quest, Mulligan will
be forwarded at least a portion Of
his bequest, and be installed in
better quarters.
