MRS. RUSSELL SAGE TODAY

MRS. RUSSELL SAGE TODAY.
Suppose Mrs. Sage should decide
to devote the remainder of her for
tune to the nation. She could give
a fleet that would almost match in
strength the 16 great battleships
that are making tour of the
world. For defensive purposes she
could give a swarm of submarine
boats that would guard effectively
every seaport In the country. She
could equip an army. She could
transform Washington into the
most beautiful capital In history.
Her money would be sufficient to
add to the nation countless islands
of the sea and an imperial domain
In Africa or South America. All
these and many more things she
could do. A power greater than
that of many rulers rests. In the
hands of blue eyed, frail figured,
gentle old woman.

VESSEL WAS
BURNED AT SEA;
THREE ESCAPED

Philadelphia, April 13.-Authentic In
formation to show that hi ship Arthur
Sewall, which sailed from this port for
Seattle on April 3 1907, with a cargo Of
coal. was burned at sea has Just been
brought here by George Baker, one OF
the crew. Baker. who Is q Hawaiian,
with Charles Dixon and Second Mate
Weinberg, are, so far as known, the
only survivors. Baker ann here from
New York. where he arrived on the
German-Lloyd steamer Kron Prin-
Sewall was burned shortly after round
ing Cape Horn. the coal having fired
apparently by spontaneous combustion.
The ship was in command of Captain
Gaffrey and carried q crew of rs men.
Baker says that on the night of Sep
tember 8 flames broke out In the hold
of the vessel and that Captain Gaffrey
ordered the small boats lowered.
While the starboard boat was being
lowered by Second Mate Weinberg, as
sisted by Baker and Dixon, the fasten-
ing broke and the o with It's three
occupants drifted to the southwark 4
the darkness. AS long as the three men
could see the fire grew brighter, and
there is little doubt that in a short time
the vessel was destroyed and h re-
mainder of the crew lost.
For two days the small boat drifted
about on the ocean no one knew where,
the craft being without a compass or
sail. On the third day a Norwegian
bark supposed to have been the Syden-
ham, bound from Callao to New Castle,
N. S. W., was sighted and She picked
up the three men After a 45-day pas
sage the bark reached New Castle
Baker proceeded to Bremen n sec lred

Lloyd steamship.

10000 Homeless.

1t was estimated late last night that
nearly 10000 persons are homeless.
Two representatives of the state board
of charity were on the scene early. being
sent by Acting Governor Draper. The
Boston charitable authorities were also
prompt to give assistance, while the Sal
walton Army and the Associated Chart
ties made every effort to care for the
homeless. Thousands were sent to Bos-
ton, where they were furnished with food
and lodging at numerous public buildings,
SUCH as schools, armories, etc.
Various halls, churches and other pub
lie buildings in the unburned section of
Chelsea We're also thrown open to shelter
the unfortunates.
The ruins of the burned district are I'M
der guard Of IA companies of the state
militia and marines from the Charlestown
navy yard, and the city is under martial
law to prevent looting. The soldiers are
supplied with ball cartridges.
The bodies of three persons sc badly
burned as to be un~recognizable are at the
North Grove street morgue. No others
have thus far been officially reported.
An estimate of the loss by an official of
a prominent insurance firm placed the to-
tai loss between 81, 5000 0 and $40, GO, 600.

DISPOSAL. OF SEWAGE
is A NATIONAL PROBLEM

Washington. April 13.-'Water pois-
ontng." as he terms the almost univer-
sal practice of dumping raw sewage
into the streams of the country, will be
made a national issue If President
Roosevelt acts upon the suggestion of
Edward Hatch, jr., Of New York. made
IN q letter to the executive. Mr.. Hatch
Is Chairman of the New York Mer-
chants association pollution committee,
which is a vigorous CAM
paign against the defilement Of state
waters, and OF the Hudson river and
New York bay in particular, by exist

and the Passaic valley trunk sewers
the one in New York, the other in New
Jersey. would eventually discharge 60O,-
000.0 600 gallons OF filth into New York

Question for the Government.
The letter contains some strong state
n1ents as to the annual loss Of human
life from primitive methods of sewage
disposition, but the committees sani-
tary experts are ready to back them up.
Arguing for government aid in bring

Gates, the writer of the letter says:
Millions are spent annually upon the
dredging of our rivers and harbors, a
vast proportion of which expenditure
would be unnecessary of the solid filth

RACES Before Gale.
The fire ragged before a 45-mile gale for
more than II hours, defying the utmost eff
forts of the combined fire departments of
Chelsea and several nearby cities, and a
large detachment of Boston flremel: and
apparatus.
The fire area, which was in the form of
an eclipse a mile and a half long and half
a mile wide at its widest part, extending
diagonally across the city from a point
near the boundary between Everett and
Chelsea to the waters of Chelsea creek.
1t was useless for the firemen to attempt
to check the onrushing flames before the
gale. and the main efforts were to prevent
a spread of the fire on either side. Their
last stand was taken at Chelsea creek late
In the afternoon, and for hours a doubtful
battle was waged. AT 9 o'clock word was
passed that the iremen were winning, and
with renewed energy the contest was
pressed. AT 10: so o'clock Official
ment was made by Chief II. A. Spencer
that the fire was under control.
y great many of the buildings were of
wood and were quickly destroyed, but
structures of other material were almost
as quickly aud thoroughly incinerated.
All the banks, more than ~three-quarters
of the churches, half of the business
blocks and nearly all Of the school houses
We're wiped out. One hospital and a day
nursery We're destroyed. In the turmoil
many of the sick and infirm found diff
Guilty in obtaining assistance, and several
of them narrowly escaped.
Origin of Blaze.
The fire originated in the rear of the
Boston Backing company's works on
West Third street. near the eastern divi-
sion of the Boston & Maine railroad, all
in close proximity to the Everett City
line. Forty employees were at work drying
rags The exact cause of the fire is not
known, but 1t is supposed that spontaneous
combustion among the rags was respon-
sible. A terrific gale from the northwest,
which at times had a velocity of 60 miles
an hour, carried burning shingles, embers
and myriads of sparks to a score of wood
en- buildings, most of them of cheap con-
struction. The fire started almost in the
extreme southwest section of the city and
cut a path to the end of Maverick street,
at the southeastern end Of the city. which
borders on Chelsea creek. This is about
one and a half miles from where the fire
began.
The flames spread through the heart of
the retail business section, about midway
between the two extreme limits reached
by the fire. Among the structures de-
stroyed were 10 churches. two hospitals,
the public library, city hall, five school
houses. 20 business blocks, nearly a score
of factories and upwards of 800 tenements
and dwelling houses.
