HUNDRED LIVES IN PERIL
Stranded Ship Being Pounded
to Pieces Near New York.

New York, May S.-One hundred
men on the disabled, stranded ship
Peter Rickmers are in peril. The big
ship is plunging helplessly about in
tumbling, pitching sea on a sandbar
about thousand yards off shore, not
far from Fire island. Three of her
masts are gone, half of her cargo of
case oil has been cast into the sea
and she is being pounded by battery
of waves which neither she nor any
other ship similarly placed can long
endure.
Two lifelines were sent out to the
Rickmers when it became apparent
that those on board might require
quick assistance, but as the waves
drove the vessel steadily but slowly
westward the lines gave way and the
only link of safety between ship and
shore was destroyed.
In the meantime the Rickmers had
begun to feel the effects of the fright
full battering she was receiving from
hhiS waves 1iSA SCaiiS DC6ah W OpSh
and the water poured in streams into
her hold. Every wave now makes a
clean sweep over the ship and three
lifesaving crews are fighting against
the wind and seas in driving rain In
an attempt to run other lines to the
doomed craft.
The men on board include a number
of employees of the wrecking COM
panies from the tugs sent to the ships
assistance. The lifesavers have not

to launch the surfboat when the tide

TENEMENT HOUSE BLAZE
Four People Killed and Many
Injured at New York.

New York, May S.-Four persons
were killed ard twelve injured in a
fire believed TO be of incendiary origin
which practically destroyed the five
story tenement house at 101 Orchard
street. The dead are: Mrs. Eva
Berg, fifty-three years old; Samuel
Sach, ten years old; Hattie Kople-
mann, two and half years old, and
an unidentified man.
The fire was first seen by police
man, who turned into Orchard street
when the flames were shooting from
windows in the lower part OF the
house. His call for help brought sew
eral other officers to his assistance
and in moment nearly every one in
the house had been aroused and the
fire escapes were choked with fright
ened tenants. The policemen carried
several children to the ground before
the firemen arrived. BY that time
the condition of the fire escapes was
almost helpless. Men, women and
children were packed so closely on
the narrow platforms that no one
could get down.
While persons in the building who
had been unable to get out because
ali the windows leading to the fire
escapes were crowded struggled for
exit on one side the fireman on eXten.
sion ladders labored on the other. One
by one women and children were
dragged from the overloaded plat.
forms by the firemen and carried down
the extension ladders to the street
and safety. More than 100 persons
were taken from the fire escapes in
| this way.
| Mrs. Eva Berg and the Sach boy
were burned to death In their rooms
apparently having been overcome by
smoke while asleep, and little Hattie
Koplemann was killed by falling from
her mothers arms while the latter
was attempting to reach the roof.

o'clock. Mrs. Guinness met him at
the door and told him that he could

OLD AGE PENSIONS
Feature Of Budget Statement by
New British Premier.
ANNUAL COST $50, 900, 900
Five Hundred Thousand Persons
viii Receive Assistance Under the
Proposed Legislation.

London, May S.-The budget for the
first time in many years was present
ed to the house of commons by the
premier, Mr.. Asquith, instead of by
the chancellor of the exchequer. Mr..
Asquith, who was former chancellor of
the exchequer, had prepared the
budget and it was thought he should
himself explain it to parliament.
No budget of recent years has been
awaited with as much interest as this
one. Everybody was keen to learn of
the governments scheme for old age
pensions, the house consequently was
packed and its galleries were over.
flowing with visitors.
Mr.. Asquith, after commenting
briefly on the present slackening OF
trade throughout the world following
the boom year of 1907, announced
that Great Britain's realized surplus
for the year 1907-S amounted to $23,
100000, which, he said, would be
largely applied to the reduction of the
national debt.
National Debt Being Reduced.
The national debt, the premier said
had been reduced by approximately
S90,000,000 during the past year. A
further reduction of about SIS, 100000
would be effected during the current
year and Great Britains debt would
then stand at the same figure as TWEEN
ty years ago.
The new budget reduces the duty
on sugar from As I'd to Is 10d per hun.
dredweight. The reduction in the
sugar duties will become effective
May Is on raw and refined sugar and
on July l on articles manufactured
with sugar.
Coming to the main feature of the
budget-the matter of old age pen
sions-Mr. Asquith said it had been
decided to rule out all contributors
schemes and provide the pensions
from the national treasury. The pre-
mier estimated that the pensioners
will not exceed 100000 and that the
cost of the scheme would be $4,000,
600 year. 1t WEI come into force
Jan. l, 1909. Stringent conditions
would be laid down for forfeiture and
suspension; and If this was socialism
the premier declared, it was socialism
Of kind that both parties accepted.

AFTER VICTIMS BROTHER
More Light Shed on Methods of Mrs.
Guinness.

Laporte, Ind, May 8.-Additional
light on the methods by which Mrs.
Belle Guinness lured to her death
farm one mile north of here the per-
sons who are supposed to have fallen
victims to her lust for money was
shed by Ask X. Helgelein, brother of
Andrew Helgelein of Mansfield, S. D.,
whose dismembered corpse is among
the nine found on the farm Hedge
lein told the coroner that not only
had his brother been in communica-
tioh with the woman, but also that
she had written to him after Andrews s
disappearance in an attempt to in
duce him to visit this city.
Sell your brothers stock and come
here and we will hunt your brother
together" was the gist of the epistles
written In Norwegian and as yet only
partially translated. The letters are
zealously guarded by Helgelein under
orders of Ralph N. Smith, prosecut-
ing attorney, but enough was revealed
to show that the woman had not hesi-
tated TO dare to attempt to gain a
hold over the nearest relative of her
latest victim.
Rain interfered with further ex.
humations on the death enshrouded
farm of Mrs Guinness. Sheriff Smut
ger announced that until the down.
pour ceased 1t will be impossible to
explore the lawn of the homestead,
where, 1t is believed, more bodies
have been concealed.

siding in Michigan City, Ind, whose

Locked Up as Witness.
The woman was friend of Ray
Lamphere, who is accused of compile.
ity in the murders at the Guinness
home. Miss Conklin Is not accused
of completely, but her testimony is
considered of so great Importance that
she will remain locked up until the
grand jury nears her testimony next
week. 1t is said that Lamphere, while
talking to Miss Conklin, made threats
against Mrs. Guinness and said that
he had information which, If disclosed
would hang Mrs. Guinness.
She further said that she was ready
to disclose all that Lamphere told her
adding that "he was in love and crazy
jealous over Mrs. Guinness"
1t has developed that on the after
noon before Helgelein disappeared
Ray Lamphere was sent to Michigan
City by Mrs. Guinness to await the
coming of man named John Moo
her cousin. Mrs. Guinness told Lam

Nothing but Milk.
Madam, the flavor that Van Camps gives
to milk dishes comes solely from milk.

Yet it costs half what cream
costs
Add two parts water and you
have rich milk. at about the price
which YOU pay to your mllkman.
But YOU have no waste. You
open a can as YOU want it. The
saving in a year is enormous.
Van Camps means a COW in
your kitchen. Rich milk or cream
whenever YOU want it.
No shortage. no waste.
Such milk dishes as YOU never
can make from raw milk.
Cheaper than raw milk. Far
more convenient.
Do you wonder that. with TO-
900 COWS. we can scarcely supply
the demand for this milk?
Then add to all that the abso-
lutte purity.
Our dairies are sanitary. Our
COWS are inspected. We allow no
chance for infection.
Then the milk is sterilized.
There is not a germ in it.
Can YOU think Of a reason for
using germ-laden milk, when you
can now get Van Camps?
We publish an excellent cook
book, showing the exact cost OF
all sorts of milk dishes. Please
write for tits free. Address
