Good Influence of Matrlmony.

Statistics seem to show that crime
Is less frequent among married men
than among those enjoying bachelor
existence Close observation shows
that property rights are more general
ly respected by the married than the
single. The married man does not
commit the graver offenses against
property, such as robbery and fraud,
30 much as the less dangerous crimes,
such as receiving stolen goods, break
ing the laws Of trade, and fraudulent
bankruptcy Men who are married at
an early age-from IS to 25-offend
against property more often than the
unmarried of the same age, and mar
ried men who are older. This is prob
ably explained by the pressure Of cam-
ily expenses. Offenses against morali-
ty are far more common among un-
married men-a fact that was to be
expected. Offenses against human
life are more frequent among the un-
married, though the disproportion Is
of property. 1t is interesting to note,
says the New York Weekly, that the
criminality of widowers decreases with
advancing years, although this is prob
ably true of all men NVidowers, how
ever, contribute greater share of
crime between the ages of 80 and so
than either of the other classes. This
may be an argument either for or
against marriage, according to the
point of view The longer man is mar
ried, the more law-abiding he becomes
This may be accounted for not only
by the benign influence of matrimony,
but also by the fact that the burden
of married life incident to the larger
birth rate at that time and the finan-
cial straits of the parents is greater in
the early years than it is later. This
is indicated by the fact that the rate
of offenses against property falls off
rapidly with advancing years among
the married.

New York City.-In the thick of
a fog off Sandy Hook yesterday the
stout steel freighter Georgia of the
White Star line rammed and sank the
lightly laden Panama line steamer
Finance, outward bound with So pas

within ten minutes after the collision,
carrying to their death three of her
passengers and one of the crew. The
rest of the passengers, who included
10 women and IA children, as we'll as
others of the crew, were rescued by
the boats of the Georgia. The
freighter was not damaged.
or the passengers lost one was a
woman, Miss Irene Campbell of Pan

of the sinking vessel and could not be
persuaded to release her hold, nor
were the men who manned the small
boats able to forcibly remove her.

The disaster occurred in the main
ship channel off Sandy Hook as both

LAM PHERE GUILTY or ARSON
Sentenced to from Two to Fl Years In
Pen-WiII Appeal.

Laporte, Ind.-Ray Lamphere, who
was charged with arson and the
murder of Mrs. Belle Guinness and her
three children by setting fire to the
Guinness house on April %, was last
evening found guilty of arson by the
jury which had had the case under
consideration for "a hours. Within
five minutes after the verdict was re-
ported, Judge Richter sentenced the
defendant to the state penitentiary at
Michigan City for an indeterminate
term of from two to 21 years. He will
be taken to Michigan City to-day to
begin his sentence.
Attorney Worden for the defense
said that motion for a new trial
would be made and should it be re-
fused, an appeal to the Indiana su-
preme court would follow. He de-
clared the verdict ridiculous. 'If he
was guilty at ALL" said the attorney,
"he was guilty of murder"
Lamphere said that he was conf
dent the dead body in the fire was
that of Mrs Guinness, although his
counsel had tried to prove otherwise.
He reiterated his innocence of setting
fire to the house, though admitting
that he was on the road and saw the
fire that night.

Murder Case stirs Paris.

Paris, France.-The arrest of Mad
anne Steinheil Thursday following
her confession that for months since
the murder of her painter husband
and Madame Japy, who were found
strangled in the home of the artist on
the morning of May 81, her attempt to
find the assassins and the innumer-
able fantastic clues furnished the
police and the newspapers were only
a desperate farce to conceal the real
author of the crime, whom she knew,
affords Paris the biggest sensation it
has had for years. The excitement
produced from time to time by the
Humbert, Dreyfus and Syveton affairs
pales into insignificance by compaSi-
son, and the revelations which
crowded thick and fast during the
day. pointing to the possible exposure
of a national scandal, promise to at
tract worldwide attention.

BRITISH STEAMER DESTROYED
100 PERISH IN BURNING SHIP OFF
ISLAND OF MALTA.
Disaster in Plain View of Those on
Shore, Who Were Almost Pow
less to Help.

Valetta, Island of Malta-A ter
rible disaster, in which more than
100 persons lost their lives, occurred
at the entrance to this port Wednes-
day within sight of the whole popula-
ton of the city, who were powerless to
give aid. The British steamer Sardinia
of the Ellerman line, hailing from
Liverpool and bound for Alexandria,
with crew of Al Englishmen, II first
and six second cabin English passen-
gers and nearly 200 Arab pilgrims
aboard, caught fire and within a few
minutes was a roaring furnace sur
rounded by clouds of black smoke,
through which flames burst upward to
height of 200 feet, from frequent ex-
plosions of naphtha in the hold.
So rapidly did the fire spread that
the frantic efforts of the crew to oper-
ate the fire apparatus proved useless,
for it seemed but a moment before the
upper works and masts crashed down
upon the deck, while the ships boats
were crushed by the falling debris or
set on fire and quickly burned.
Safety lay only in the sea, for no one
could save himself except by jumping
overheard and taking chances of being
picked up. Assistance was hurried to
the burning vessel from all the war
ships in the harbor and from the shore,
but the work of rescue was greatly i'm
peded by the strong tide that was run
ming. Even the naval launches, which
came as fast as they could be driven,
were unable to go alongside. Among
the Arabs there was panic that could
not be controlled. Many of them were
too terrified to jump and they were
burned to death. Others cast them
selves into the waves and were
drowned.
The crew behaved with admirable
courage, serving out life preservers 10
the last, and working the pumps.
When the pumps became useless Capt.
Charles Littler, commander of the Sar-
dinia, took the helm and directed his
ship towards the shore so long as it
could be navigated. He perished

UNCLE SAM AND JAPS AGREE
To Pact Covering the Policy of the
Two Countries in the Pacific
The Open Door for China.

Washington, d. C.-Despite official
reticence, information from reliable
sources has been obtained of an
agreement of far-reaching Importance
between the United States and Japan
covering the policy of the two coun-
tries in the Pacific.
The agreement is based upon the
idea of encouraging and defending free
and peaceful commercial development
in the Pacific. 1t contains only
mutual guarantee to respect each
others territorial possessions there,
but defines the attitude of the two
countries towards China binding each
to defend by every peaceful means
China's independence and integrity,
and to give equal commercial oppor-
tunity in the Chinese empire to all ma
tions. But more important still, the
agreement, in the event of complica-
tions threatening the status quo, binds
the United States and Japan to consult
each other with a view to acting to-
gether.
The agreement has been drawn up in
the form of a declaration and consists
of five articles. There is a mutual dis
claimer of any aggressive designs, and
also definition of the policy of each
government both as directed to the
maintenance of the existing status quo
in the Pacific, and the defense of the
principle of equal opportunity for COM
merce and industry in China.

PLEDGED TO ENFORCE LAW.
No Possible Misunderstanding of Posi-
ton Taken by Taft.

THE earlier all combinations of
wealth understand that under a Re-
publican administration they will be
held strictly accountable to the law
the earlier will business conditions get
on basis that will be a solid founda
tion for the building Of a new prosper
ity. The President-elect.
Mr.. Taft takes this early occasion to
sound the keynote of his administra-
tion-the strict enforcement of the
law of the land, At the same time he
makes plain that the reforms initiated
under the present administration will
not only be enforced but perfected
and made fully effective, and that
progress on the lines laid down under
President Roosevelt in amelorative
social legislation will not be stayed. A
broader statement of policy as to labor
has never been given by a president
than by Mr. Taft when he announces
his purpose to do everything possible
to put labor on an equality with CAPT
tai and to give labor an equality of op-
portunity in the negotiations between
them"
That the next presidents powerful
influence will also be thrown in favor
of national revision of the tariff is also
assured. The battle of the schedules
will be waged hotly, but much can be
done on behalf of the general welfare
in this clash of innumerable special
Interests if the president is strong
and convinced as Mr.. Taft is.

Elihu Root for the Senate.

The report that Elihu Root, by gen.
eral agreement of New York Repub-
licans, may be chosen to succeed
Thomas C. Platt as United States
senator is one that pleases all think
ing Americans throughout the coun-
try.
Elihu Root is recognized as one of
the foremost intellects in American
public life. AS secretary of war he
effected a real and beneficial reorgani.
zation of that department AS secre-
tary of state he has conducted our
foreign relations with dignity and
power.
1t is time that the great state of
New York should be worthily repre-
sented in the senate, as it has not
been of late years. It's junior senator
has been more ornamental than useful,
to say the least. It's senior senator,
despite his faithful and commendable
services to his party in former years,
presents the sorrowful spectacle of an
old age without respect.
There are other worthy and capable
York, but there is none who stands be-
fore the country for so much of ability
and integrity, and who has such a rec
ord of great service well performed. as
Elihu Root. He is on his quality and
his Hecord, without regard to the acci-
dents of Office, easily the foremost
citizen of New York.
Thinking Republicans and patriotic
Americans throughout the nation sin
cerely hope that the Republican legis.
lature of New York will see clearly it's
opportunity to place that state again
in the forefront of the national coun-
ellis on the legislative side as it has
been on the administrative.
BY sending Elihu Root to the SEN
ate the Republicans of New York will
convince the country that they can
and do think nationally and in honor
ing him will honor their state, their
party and themselves.
With man so pre-eminently capable,
also available, there ought to be no
question about the next senator of the
United States from New York.-Chi-
cago Inter Ocean.

ITALIAN CAR WAS VICTORIOUS
Driven by an American, It Won the
International Light Car Race.

Savannah, Ga.-An Italian car with
an American driver, William H.
Hilliard of Boston, on Wednesday
Won the first international light car
race ever held in this country. The
record set was 52.56 miles an hour for
the 1876 miles. Robert Burman, driv-
ing Buick car, finished second, more
than six minutes behind the winner.
The Is cars starting in the race-12
of American, two of Italian and one Of
French manufacture-were sent away
at half minute intervals and kept IN
clusters throughout. At times there
were as high as four of the little
racers in the home stretch in view of
the stands. The race was run under
sapphire skies and in the warmth of
a summer sun. crowd of many
thousands filled the two big grand
stands at the finish line and other
thousands lined the course. But the
crowd remained at respectful dist
ance, for 600 militiamen under martial
law were thrown about the racing
circuit and they kept the pathway of
the cars absolutely free.
The only serious wreck came at the
very close. Easter had been in trou-
BILE early in the race and was driving
along pell-mell on his fourteenth lap
when he lost the road and went
crashing into a ditch The mechani-

SaVinu the Game.

With the revulsion of sentiment has
come scientific legislation for the pro-
lection of such game as remains, and
in most states the more intelligent
huntsmen have themselves been in
strumental in promoting the legisla-
ton. But great deal of educational
work remains to be done. The i'm
provement of guns and ammunition,
above all the cheapening of their
price, has placed weapons in the
hands of thousands of undisciplined
hunters, who lust, as did their prede-
cessors of 30 years ego, for records" ="
The violation of the game laws is not
considered crime by them" says the
New Orleans Times-Democrat. Their
only care is to evade detection and
prosecution-not difficult task, be.
cause of the relative scarcity of game
wardens and the trouble experienced
in securing evidence to convict the
violators of the law.
