TIRES Of ROLE OF
BOGUS celebrity
SIR THOMAS LIPTON'S COUNTER
PART PRACTICES DEcEP-
TIoN AND FLEES.

Fort Worth, Tex, Nov. 26.-The
bogus" Sir Thomas Upton who for
several days has kept residents of Abi-
lene, Post City and surrounding towns
in a fever of excitement with dreams
that sudden wealth was to be poured
upon them, proves to be, according to
his own statement, Major F. M. Bur-
rows of Pittsburg.
AS the joke seemed too good to be
spoiled, Major Burrows allowed his
new found friends to worship him.
He even did his part to continue the
fun. Fs
For several days the newspapers of
that region have been advertising in
large headlines the presence of sir
Thomas, incognito. Glowing accounts
were printed of how Upton intended
to make the fortune of all. buy half of
Cara county aaa- stablish packing
plants that would make Chicago look
mean.
When Sir Thomas suddenly left Alb
ilene. for parts unknown there was a
wall of regret.
Major Burrows bears a striking re-
semblance to the pictures of the Eng
lish baronet. The people welcomed
him as Upton and he had not unde-
ceived them. When the joke got tire
some he left.

ALL STAR CAST
AFTER DEATH
'Ex- SENATOR CHANDLER SAYS
SOULS JOIN LUMINOUS
HEAVENLY BODIES.

Waterloo. N. H., Nov. 26.- That after
we lay down our physical being upon
this earth our souls will go to some of
the stars. there to be reinvested with
physical bodies and to have the same
kind of an existence as here, only to
greater perfection. is the belief of Will
liam Il. Chandler. former secretary of
the navy. and former United States
senator from New Hampshire.
I'VE do not live as disembodied spir-
it's" he said. I'VE go to one Of the
stars. where we inhabit new physical
bodies which embrace our present
souls
We see and hear and have the, sense
OF taste, smell and touch and perhaps
other new and more joyous senses.
MY idea is that when our souls
leave this earth we do not scatter tc
different plants Surely in the great
beyond we shall rejoin our friends.

characteristic of its present busy chief
executive. 1t Is making itself prom
inent in almost every field Of activity.
One of the latest manifestations along

roofs Of the hothouses, the chrysantme-
NUNS presented such an amazing ex--
panse of color that 1t seemed inpossi-
BILE to select even one bloom from the
while and take that much from the
picture.
One of the old favorites, the Lou Dill
Ion, which was named by Mrs. Roose-
velt was heartily welcomed. The Hon.
w. @. Gresham was another perfect
specimen of the garnener's art, and it's
big white, soft, round mass OF petals
looked almost like paper flower in the
exactness with which each petal was
placed alongside it's neighbor.
Grace Cortelyou, also named by Mrs.
Roosevelt. was a debutante. Another
distinctive flower was a brilliant yell
low bloom bearing the name Gem
eral Hutton. It's long stem Is one of its
features and the flower bobbed its head

HAPPENED IN A THICK FOG.

New York, Nov. 26.-An unknown
steamer, believed to belong to the Pan
anna Railroad & Steamship Co, was
sunk in a collision with the White Star
steamer Georgia in the main ship chan
mel off the end of Sandy Hook this
morning. The George was only slight
ly damaged. The collision took place
in thick fog. The crew of the foun-
dered steamer was seen leaving the
vessel IN a yawl boat.
The Allianca usually carries passen-
gers. The Georgic anchored near tbs
sunken steamer ard it is believed the
passengers aid crew of the unknown
vessel were taken on board the White
Star boat. The Sandy Hook crew of
life savers were off to the sunken
steamer and tug used by the harbor
supervisors was also seen about the
wreck. The steamer sllianca has ar
rived at quarantine.
Cause of the Wreck.
It is now believed the steamer is the
Steamship Co.
The Finance lies on the north side
of the main ship channel with nothing
showing above the water except her
bridge, pipes and mast. The hull is
entirely submerged. Boats are still
going back and forth between the
Georgia and the sunken steamer. The
passengers Of the Finance appear to
be on the deck of the Georgia.

as the Finance was attempting to leave
the lower bay and while the Georgia
White Star freight boat was coming in
from Liverpool, after having been de-
layed by a fog. The fog is now SC
thick that the wreck is just barely Wis
ible from Sandy Hook.

Perth Amboy, N. J.. Nov. 2s.-Six
men were shot down, two Of them
probably fatally wounded. in a pitched
battle at Kearsbey, near here, between
a mob of TOO strikers and twelve depu-
ties and Governor Fort has sent four
companies Of the state national guard
from Trenton to the scene. and today
the streets are patrolled by $50 sol
diers.
The fight occurred at the factory Of
the National Fire Proofing Co, which
was being guarded by the twelve dep
utles, and the latter fired point blank
at the crowd after the mob had
smashed all the windows in the fac
tory with showers of rocks and threat
ened to Kill the deputies and destroy
the buildings. The six wounded men
were taken to a hospital after the mob
dispersed, and two Of them are dying
Troops May Cause Trouble.
The strikers are bitter about the
sending of troops to Kearsbey and
this may lead to more trouble, 1t Is
said. For two days there has been
rioting at Kearsbey and other manu-
featuring towns along the Raritan rIv-
err. Two weeks ago a strike was de-
clared by the employees of the Raritan
River Clay Co, and a number Of the
employees went on strike for higher
wages. At the National Fire Roofing
Co, a number of American laborers
stayed at work and they have been
attacked by the strikers, the most Of
whom are foreigners. Last night as
the Americans were leaving the fac
tory, a crowd of foreign strikers made
an attack and deputy sheriffs were
then placed on guard at the factory.
Nothing happened until Chief Burke Of
the deputies sent a messenger for a
lunch and as he appeared at the door
he was met with a shower Of stones
and was driven back. The mob then
attacked the building with a lombard
ment Of stones and they smashed every
window and finally became emboldened
and started to swarm into the building
Matters became so serious that the
deputies were forced to open fire to
save their lives, and they fired about a
dozen shots point blank at the crowd
and the six men fell. The strikers
then withdrew.
