Deals Only in Facts.


In the earlier years of the work PEG.
pie did not, in many instances, take
kindly to the idea of having their pri-
vate affairs probed for the benefit of
the public, but latterly this spirit has
largely disappeared. Nowadays if the
special agents of the bureau of labor
are refused information by one manu-
facturer they usually have no difficulty
in discovering some other establish
ment where the needed data may be
obtained. The government labor ex-
perts have won confidence by never
allowing the names of parties furnish
ing facts to be given in its reports. al
though, to be sure, they take every
possible means to verify all the infor-
nation gathered. The bureau will
have nothing to do with estimates or
hearsay statements about labor con.
ditions. 1t never makes any state.

back them up.
At the outset the government labor
experts thought that they could carry

Prohibition Presidential Candidate
Willingly Assumes Leadership.

Chicago, Aug. 19.-Tuesday evening,
Eugene W. Chain. presidential can.
didate of the Prohibition party, was
formally made aware of his nomina-
ton. In his. speech of acceptance he
said in part:
The makers of the federal consti.
tuition decided wisely that once in four
years the people should have an oppor-
tunity. through the election of presi-
dent and house of representatives, to
record the advance made in morals
and adopt new and necessary methods
of government If one or more politi-
cal parties are to be kept in power,
Is or so years, each succeeding admin
istration carrying out the policy Of
the past, and refusing to enact into
law the progress attained. then such
party or parties have violated the very
spirit of the constitution, and turned
our democracy into despotism, making
the political boss dictator
For long time there has been q
disposition on the part Of the lead
ing politicians Of the old parties to be-
little and ignore the liquor problem.
This has now reached an acute stage,
which amounts to conspiracy on the
part of the leaders Of these parties to
coin up the conscience of the people
into liquor license revenue and Off ces."
Mr.. Chain declared himself in favor
of the election of United States sena-
tors by the people and for the estab-
lishment of permanent tariff COM

Hot Springs. Va. Aug. 1s.-The
speech he is to make to the Virginia

Friday next was the engrossing sub

The address Is to be the first politi.
cal utterance of the candidate since
his Cincinnati speech of acceptance,
and will be the only speech of its
character he will make until his cam
paign opens in Cincinnati the first
week In September. Although 1t is
quite common for Mr.. Taft to receive
letters from the Philippine islands ex-
pressing desire for his political sue
cess. he was somewhat surprised
Monday to receive one written by Adj
miral Cervera Of Spanish war fame,
expressing the same sentiment.
Il pray for the election of Senior
Taft for president" writes the ad-
mfral. Il should have written you
letter, but have not had time. l know
very little personally about the United
States, and cannot, for that reason,

Grand Rapids, Mich. Aug. ia
special to the Evening Press from
Traverse City, Mich, says: Mrs. Isa-
bel La Bonte of this city was killed
and a score of passengers were in
jured Monday by the explosion of the
boiler of the passenger steamer Lee

on Carp lake.
Dead and Injured.

Carp lake lies in the northern Mich

the Leelanau were a number of re-

Under Heavy Head Of Steam.
Having on board many pleasure
seekers bound for Traverse City to at
tend a wild west circus. the little
steamer was blowing down the narrow
lake with steam pressure of 80
pounds trying to make up the time
that had been lost on the earlier
stages Of the trip. AS she was pass
ing Bingh the engineer discovered a
loose bolt in the engine and shut off
the steam to remedy the defect. It
was while he was working at the
loose bolt that the explosion occurred.
The boiler gave way with a crash,
tearing off the top of the engine and
demolishing the pilot house and the
forward upper works of the steamer.
but leaving Engineer Edward Hardy
unscathed by the havoc that swept
before him.
Many Thrown Into Water.
The force of the explosion had all
been directed forward. Mrs. La
Bonte. sitting near the pilot house
conversing with her brother, Charles
Mosier, captain of the boat. was
blown far out into the water terribly
mangled and John Hartung, who was
at the wheel, was probably fatally in
jured. All those injured were sitting
in the forward part of the boat. Many
were thrown into the water and
chung to wreckage until rescued by
farmers living along the shore, al
though some were able to swim to
shore. The injured were brought to
Traverse City.
The steamer was lowed to a wharf
and tied up for repairs. She is 81
feet long. with IL feet beam, and was
rebuilt last season.
