SAILORS RESCUED
Crew of Abandoned Tank Steamer
Picked Up in Mid-Ocean BY
Transatlantic Liner.

Plymouth. April 9-The steamer Ma
jestic, which is due here today from
New York. has reported by wireless
telegraphy the rescue on April in
mid-Atlantic of the crew Of the Nor
wegian tank steamer Helios, from
Philadelphia, March 25. for Blaye,
The Helios was abandoned in north
latitude "A, west longitude SO. She
had encountered a terrific storm that
lasted three days. Her bunkers were
broken and she listed badly. Her car
go of oil invaded the stoke hold and
its overpowering fumes compelled the
crew to abandon the vessel
The accident to the Helios occurred
on Sunday last There was great ap-
rrehensiOn that oil would reach the
fires, and a disastrous explosion re-
suit One hundred and fifty tons of Oil
were pumped from the bunkers, but
the task of removing the remainder
of the oil was beyond the task of he
crew. The hurricane. with the accom-
panying heavy seas, rendered it i'm
possible to remove the matches to al
low the fumes tC escape. Before leav-
ing the vessel the sea cocks and hatch
es were opened to facilitate her sink
ing, as she was in the direct track Of

TO RESTRICT GRAZING
ON WATERSHEDS
Joint investigation Covering Sub ect
to Be Conducted BY Washington
Department.

Washington, April 9.-ln order to
reach a satisfactory agreement In re-
gard to the proposed prohibition OF
grazing on the banks Of streams sup.
plying the various irrigation systems
in the west, joint Investigation will
be conducted by the departments OF
the interior and agriculture. The irr.
gatorh and officials of the reclamation
service desire to restrict grazing on
the watersheds which affect the irrl
cation OF farm lands. Stockmen have
vigorously opposed such restriction.
In discussing the matter Secretary
Wilson said
THE protection Of the watersheds
and streams supplying irrigation res.
ervoirs DEFENDS primarily upon the
possibility Of giving full protection to
all areas where grazing Is allowed.
The fewer forest officials which there
are to attend the grazing business on
the national forests, the more land
will have to be closed to grazing. Past
experience has proven that stock can
be allowed to Craze, under proper reg.
ulation, on areas from which it would
be necessary to exclude It if the range
could not be properly patroled."
The investigation will be conducted
Jointly by officers of the forestry serv.
ice and the reclamation service. who
will meet the stockmen and irrigators
on the ground this summer and de-
termine what restrictions, if any, will
serve the best interests of the major.
ity. Complaints are directed mainly
against sheep grazing, but as the al
lotments for grazing have already
been made for the coming season by
the forest service, no change in al
lotments will be made until next year.

ANARCHY MUST
Be SUPPRESSED
President Send S
Special Message
toCongress
URG ES Ii G ISL At 10 n
Wants Law Enacted By
Which 1t Can Be Stamped
Out Entirely.

Washington, April 9.--In one Of the
shortest messages which he has yet
transmitted to Congress, President
Roosevelt today called the attention
of that body to the necessity O. turill-
er legislation on the subject Of anal-
chy With the message he transmitted
a report reviewing the legal phases or
the question by Attorney General
Bonaparte The President III his ness
age says:
when compared with the suppress
sion Of anarchy every other question
sinks into insignificance. The anarch
ist is the avowed enemy Of humanity
and of all mankind and his acts are
a deeper degree of crminality than
any other. No paper published here Or
abroad should be permitted 10 circu-
late in this country if it Hropagat"s
anarchistic opinions
Besides his direction to the pest
master general to exclude from the
mails such publications as LA Ques-
tione SOcale," the President in a let
ter to the attorney general asking for
an opinion on the legal phases of the
subject says he has had that particu-
lar case called to the attention of the
governor of New Jersey by Secretary
of State Root and that the governor
may proceed under the state laws.
The opinion of the attorney general
which the President transmits to
Congress embraces a discussion of the
whole subject from many legal angles.
His first conclusion is that the article
in question which advocates the use of
the dynamite in annihilating the po-
lice and soldiers that anarchy may pre-
vail, constitutes "seditious libel and
is undoubtedly crime at common
law.
The President declares that there is
no federal statute which makes such
publication an offense against the
United States and that the federal
courts consequently have no jurisdic-
ton in the matter. That there is full
power in possession of Congress to
make such publications criminal. the
attorney general asserts and quotes
Chief Justice Fuller of the supreme
court and Associate Justice Field as
authority
