DERELICT SCHOONER
Which is Bound for the Port Of Miss
ing Ships.

Somewhere out on the Atlantic,
breasting wintry seas and with some
Of her canvas set, is the four-masted
schooner Edward J. Berwind, aban-
doned and beating up the tracks for
the Port Of Missing Ships.
She was sighted at sea on Febru-
ary 7, by Captain Scott, of the steam
er Maravel, now in New York, from
Granada.
The schooner's decks were awash,
and there was evidence that the crew
had left in haste. 1t is possible that
they were picked up by passing craft.
When sighted the schooner was
about 470 miles east Of Charleston,
S. c., and although water-logged, was
making about two knots and heading
away from the shore.
Her storm foresail was set and the
mizzen under two reefs. Her head
sails had been carried away, and the
spanker was in ribbons. Towing
was not feasible on account OF the
rough weather.
The Berwind is likely to prove an
ugly menace for navigation for she
is under fair headway and running
through the nights without light
displayed.

PRAISES BRYAN.
New Jersey Congressman Pa. S
Him a lust Tribute in
answering another New Jersey Con-
gresham Who Thought Bryan
Wanted to Boss Things.

For the second time last week pol
itics cropped out during the discus
sion of the Indian appropriation bill
in the house Of representatives. Mr..
Hamill of New Jersey got the floor
for five minutes, presumably to talk
on the bill
My colleague, Mr.. Leake, last
Monday made some remarks derog-
atory Of the conduct Of William Jen-
nings Bryan" he said.
Mr.. Hamill declared that the senti-
ments as expressed by Mr.. Leake are
not the sentiments entertain or the
sentiments that prevail in Hudson
county, which we both representa-
which prevail for that matter,
throughout the State Of New Jersey"
Mr.. Bryan, ne said, had been criti-
cised because of his knowledge Of
the decalogue. In his opinion it was
amazing that Mr.. Bryan should be
opposed on the floor of the house be-
cause he showed an acquaintance
with the Ten Commandments. 1t
was refreshing, he said, to ini a
man who not only boasted and pos
sessed an acquaintance with the
Ten Commandments, but who
the entire course of pub
lie career has consistently put the
Drecepts of the commandments into
practice. %
Shouts of Democratic approval
greeted Mr. Hamill's announcements
that while he agreed with the state
nent that Mr. Bryan's knowledge of
the commandments would fit him to
occupy 4 pulpit with preeminence. !
can also assure the house, rejecting
at the same time their own convlc-
ton, that that same acquaintance
will enable him to occupy with eclat
,he post of president of the United
States. The principles Mr.. Bryan es-
ooused, he said, were so undeniably
sound, "that his victorious oppon-
ents have appreciated many Of them

charged by his colleague, that Mr..
Bryan was engaged in the practice

Of the number Of the killed range
from six to ten, with the smaller

Mossyille, Service and Soso are the

Jones County and all are very small
being merely a handful Of scattered

The tornado struck them about
noon, and in most instances is report

On Thursday the State Senate
killed the Richards Lein law bill,
having first voted down all amend

Thus the Senate declines to follow

THEY WERE HUNGRY.
Fifteen Hundred Children Fed by a
Kind Hearted Restauranteur.

At New York fifteen hundred school
children, attracted by the prospect OF
a free hot dinner were in riot in
front of a restaurant at 274 Grand
street; and before the police could
restore order by assuring the little
ones that all would be fed, the plate
glass window was pushed in.
The retirement accommodates only
$50 children, but thrice this number
were fed. Adolph Lorbee, the res
turant keeper, assured them that
there was food enough for all, but
those Is the rear became impatient
less there not be enough time for the
noon hour. Many children said they
had not eaten In two days. Their
parents had no work and there was
no food in the house.
: In view Of these conditions, the
restaurant keeper sent word to all
of the schools in his neighborhood
that he would give free dinners to
children who applied between noon
and one o'clock each day. The Sc
cond and the third floors were turn
ed over to the children, the menu
comprising soup, a meat order. veg
etables, rolls or bread. and tea or
coffee.
1t was while the first set Of dinners
were eating that the trouble occur
red. The remaining children stood IN
the rain in a line that went half
away around the block, but they kept
pushing and struggling till the two
policeman on duty sent for the re-
serves Of the Edlredge street station.
Before they arrived the children had
smashed the plate glass windows.

Mexicans employed at Santa Rosa
mine in Sopora, two miles sou OF
Douglas, AriZ. tried TO kill every
American in the camp by placing
sticks of dynamite under the Amerl-
can boarding house, the company s
store and the forman's Office. The
dynamite under the boarding house
sent a dozen men through the roof.
All of them had legs and arms brok-
en- and some were more or less dan
gerouslv injured. The fuses were
timed so that the explosions would
occur almost simultaneously and the
hour selected was that of the evening
meal. Dynamite was also placed be-
meath the superintendent residence.
The company store was completely

sion.
Mr.. Stevenson: Mr.. Chairman,
there is another suggestion I would
like to make. Mr.. Koester states
that it was the policy of the COM
mission he was criticising when. he
made this charge about the Attorney
General. This commission would
prefer to have the criticism made
against it in it's own proper person
and not against the Attorney General
and I would like to ask Mr.. koester
few questions.
Stevenson Questions Witness.
G. Mr.. Koester, the member of the
Investigating committee to whom you
referrer, it was the realizing OF Mr..
Hermann's s account you referred to ID
your paper? A. Yes.
@. DO you mean to charge Mr.
Hay, Mr.. Blease, Mr.. Christensen Mr.
Spivey and Mr.. Castor with buying
evidence? A. don't remember who
voted for it or anything OF the sort
@. Mr.. Christensen and Mr. Lyon
were then on the committee? A. l
drew the inference from the fact that
all claims were held up and ordered
not paid. but that when Mr.. Hermann
came and testified that he mad done
wrong. Immediately on his doing
that his claim was ordered PAID the
first one.
@. This cricicism was directed
first at the old Investigating COM
mittee and secondly as this commls-
sion and their actions? A. Yes.
@. But Mr.. Lyon was maoe the
sole target?
Mr.. Patton: There is another IN
tination made By you. That TINS
commission is being handled by the
Attorney General; if you were here,
as the other newspaper men are, you
wculd know that this commission IS
not handled by the Attorney General
or by anybody else.
Col, Fielder: Although Mr.. Her
mann came here and made the full-
est statement in regard to this mat
ter this commission has not ordered
mis- claim paid.
Mr.. Rooster: I did not refer to
what this commission had done
At the conclusion of this incident
members of the commission assured
Mr. Koester in the kindest way that
he had been labcrins under a mis-
anprehension in regard TO the pro
cedure OF the commission, and that
they invited the fullest scrutiny o.
their official acts in regard to these
claims; that their sessions were ope1
70 the public in considering these
matters and that newspaper men were
welcome to attend and that other:
had attended constantly. Mr.. koeste'
, was informed that the commission
would be glad to have him presen
1o see for himself what the commits
sion was doing. With these assur
ances the matter was closed and th'
: commission took up other matters
adiourning soon afterwards.
