STEAMER AFIRE
But MAKES LAND
HEAT AND SMOKE FORCE PAS
SENGERS TO SLEEP AND EAT
ON THE PROMENADE DECK
SEVERAL OF CREW OVERCOME

San Juan, p. r., Oct. 31.-The
steamer s. V. Luckenbach frem New
York for San Juan, arrived here last
night with the fire in her hold still
burning. All her passengers and
crew, 81 in number. are we'll.
The fire was discovered at 4
O'Clock in the morning OF October
26. when the vessel was $50 miles
south of Sandy Hook. The passen-
gers were at once awakened and the
small boats were brought out, pro-
v!sioned and made ready to lower
away in case 1t should become nee
essary to abandon the steamer. At
the steamer Philadelphia OF the Red
ID line was sighted and the plight OF
the Luckenbach was signalled to her.
The Philadelphia answered. Il am
coming alongside"
She drew near and acted as a con-
voy until the Luckenbach reached
here. Both vessels came into port
together
The heat and smoke from the fire
forced the passengers to withdraw
from their cabins. and temporary
cots and eating tables were placed
or the promenade deck for them. The
cause OF the fire Is not known. II
was impossible to gain access to the
hold The officers did not dare tt
open the matches to combat the fire
Ia the fear that the draft thus ere.
ated would fan the flames.
Holes were bored in the deck and
all the steam it was possible to spare
from the engines was forced through
them into the hold Water also wal
pumped below Several members o
the crew were overcome by th'
fumes during the work Of putting
these fire extinguishing plans into
operation, but they were promptly
revived. ISL

CANNON DID NOT
PREVENT ACTION
HE COULD NOT PREVENT TIE
HOUSE FROM CONSIDERING
THE LITTLCFIELD DILI-uO
ONE PRESENTED IT.

Danville, Ill, ,<Oct. 31.-Speaker
Cannon yesterday. at he request Of
Rev. f. M. Bristol. bishop of the
Methodist Episcopal church OF In
dianapolis. addressed him an open
letter In answer to the question put
to the speaker. Did the speaker pre-
vent the house from taking vote ON
the Littlefield bill?"
Mr.. Cannon, in his letter, had this
to say:
Il did not prevent the house from
considering the Littlefield bill or vOt-
ing upon II. and | will add that had
no power to prevent the house from
doing either, for, as Mir. Lift efield
says in his letter to me dated Sep
tomber IL, there are no rules. there
is no committee on rules and there is
no speaker that can prevent a ma
jcrity Of the house from taking up
any measure and acting upon 1t at
any time.
In the first session OF the sixtieth
congress the Littlefield bill was not
reported from the committee on ju-
dietary. The speaker had no power
to compel that committee to report
that or any other bill referred to It
under the les. nor to prevent the
committee reporting any bill over
which 1t had jurisdiction. The COM
mittee not having reported the bill,
the speaker. as a matter Of course.
did not prevent the house from con-
sidering 1t or voting upon 1t. No
motion was ever made in the house
to- take up that bill for cOnsidera-
tion. Nor was recognition ever
asked for that purpose. 1t was with
In the power OF any member OF the
house. IL he had with him the major
ity. by raising the question Of con-
stderation. to have brought the Lit
tlefield bill before the house for ac-
tion, and IT was not in the power OF
the speaker to have prevented ac-
tion. l have said in my speeches.
and I repeat to you, that the bishops
OF the Methodist church were misled
by agents who wi'fully or ignorantly
made untruthful reports to them. =

TAFT AND MANAGERS ARE
ALL IN ON IT.

New York, Oct 81 National
Chairman Mack authorized a state
ment today regarding the presidents
denial of the relations of the admin
istration and the Standard Oil com.
pany and declared he has positive
proof that for 10 davs negotiations
have been going on between the Taft
managers and the Standard Oil COM
pany all over the country. and to
get contribution OF $1,000, 900
which is the same amount they gave
in 1896, 1900 and 1904
"Roosevelt's denials In regard to
the relations between the admins
tration and Standard on loses force
when 1t is remembered that he made
a similar denial four years ago when
Parker declared that the republican
managers in charge OF Roosevelt's
campaign were receiving mney from
the corporations. He denied the story
more vehemently than he does the
present charges. No one has forgot
ten that both HARRISON and Rooseelt
conferred on Parker's charges"
Mack says emphatically that Taft
and his managers req-sred millions
OF dollars and made the bargain with
the Standard Oil company during the
present campaign and says that n
publication OF the lis, o: contributors
no the republican campaign fund
will prove the facts.

resume OF the situation in this sec
ton:
! Ocala, the capital of Old Marion
county, located 10 be the capital OF the
state, Is always one OF the most In
teresting places to visit In the most
tropical State in the Union. Ocala
10 thoroughly metropolitan and up-to-
date and the improvements OF the past
year make this little city second to
none Of any size or location In the
South. All fits business streets are
brick paved and its residence streets
have the best Of macadam and ce-
ment walks throughout. ocala has
two daily and weekly newspapers, The
Banner and The Evening Star, up-to-
date and progressive publications, also
fine hotels and some of the best
mercantile stores In the State.
Everyone knows the land in old
Marion county Is OF the best in Flor.
ida, and as a result some OF the best
growers In the State live here. Many
OF The Packer readers are no doubt
interested IN this State and It's pro-
ducts, and while Florida Is generally
credited with the production Of tropi-
cal and semitropical products, yet
many staples are grown here with
entire success.
For example, Munroe q Chambliss

Several interesting and pretty

While the attendance was larger

from what II should have been from
an encouraging standpoint, and the
teams really deserve more patronage
from our citizens.

Mixed MARRIAGES Do
NOT RESULT HAPPILY
Rabbi Iefkrovits Does Not Favor
Marriage Of Christians and
Jews.

In a sermon against the intermar-
riage of Christians and Jews, Rabbi
Morris Lefkovits, rabbi of the Temple
Emanuel church declared that the
| marriage Of Gentiles and Jews was
most Ill advised, and that this was one
of the important questions of the day,
Which should receive IT'S just consider
alton from people of serious thought.
The rabbi stated that the Jews had
been charged with being clannish. He
declared that in this respect they were
no more clannish than several Of the
other religious faiths. For instance.
he cited the Catholic faith, stating
that the Catholics were sternly op-
posed to the marriage of Catholics
with non-atholfcs.
Going back into history, the rabbi
showed that: at one time Christians
were forbidden marriage with Jews.
In early history the act was punished
with death. The instinct of race pre-
servation was the greatest argument
Tor the Jews to refuse to marry Gen.
tiles, in the opinion Of the rabbi.
He pointed out there were but 10,-
100000 Jews scattered over the world
Aside from their religious convictions,
which differed from those of the
christian faith, the pride Of race pre-
servation should prevent them from
intermarrying with the Gentiles, he
said.
The rabbi pointed out that mixed
marriages were seldom happy. Both
the man and woman were often in
clined to look down upon the others
religion. The Jews have sacrificed
much for their religious convictions,
the speaker stated, and this heritage
that had been purchased by the blood
of their fathers and mothers could not
be given up Until the universality of
Fatherhood of God and the brother Of
man arrives, it is for the Jewish men
and women to look to their own happi-
ness and to the welfare of the race
and dfscountenance and marriages be-
tween Jews and7 Gentiles.
The speaker dealt with his subject
In very non-partisan manner, de-
clarlng that intermarriage would bene-
fit neither: race.

AVIATION Will. EVER
PROVE 1 FAILURE
Utility of Most Perfect Air Ship
Will Be Attended With
Danger.
Even When Our Machinery Shall
Have Attained Ideal Per-.
fection.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Nov. 25.-
Professor Simon ,Newcomb, the emf
nent American astronomer, thinks
that navigation of the air will never
prove successful. The professor says:
Survey Of Probabilities.
Let us in fairness see what is to be
placed on the credit side Of air navi-
cation. First and almost alone
among these must be in the readers
mind the fact that steam transporter
ton on land requires the building of
railways, which are so expensive that
the. capital invested in them probably
exceeds that invested in all other
forms Of transportation. Moreover,
there are large areas Of the earth's
surface not yet accessible by rail,
among which are the two poles and
the higher mountains. All such re-
gions, the mountains excepted, we may
suppose to be attainable by the per-
fected air-ship of the future.
Advantages Considered.
The more carefully we analyze these
possible advantages the more we shall
find them to diminish in Importance.
Every part of the earth's surface on
which men now live in large numbers,
and in which important industries are
prosecuted, 0an now be reached by
railways, or will be so reached in time.
True, this will involve a constantly
increasing investment Of capital But
the interest on this investment will be
ia trifle in comparison with the cost
and draw cks incident to the gen
eral Introduction of the best system Of
aerial transportation that is even
ideally possible in the present state Of
our knowledge.
Present Aerial Attempts.
May we not say that the efforts at
aerial navigation now being made are
simply most ingenious attempts to
substitute, as support of moving
bodies the thin air for the solid
ground? And is it not evident, on
careful consideration that the ground
affords much better base than air
ever can? Resting upon it we feel
safe and know where we are. In the
air we are carried about by every
wind that blows. Any use that we can
make Of the air for the purpose Of
transportation, even when our mach
inery attains ideal perfection, will be
uncertain, dangerous, expensive, and
inefficient, scompared with trans
portation on the earth and ocean. The
glamour which surrounds the idea Of
flying through the air is the result
of ancestral notions, implanted in the
minds of our race before steam trans
portation had attained it's present de-
velopment. Exceptional cases there
may bein which the air-ship will serve
a purpose, but they are few and un-
important.
