OLD SANDY HOOK
LlGHTSHlP TO GO
Title by Which the Location Has Been
Known for Fifty Years Is to Be
Changed Officially to AM
brose Channel 81

lJEW YORK, Nov. 15.-Sandy Hook
lightship, marking the location known
for more than fifty years by that title,
will go out of existence officially on
December 1. On that day new light
ship will be anchored in the self same
spot, marked in big black letters and
figures on her straw colored side-SI
Ambrose Channel Stand from that
time SANDY Hook Lightship" will dis
appear from the logs of the ocean
steamships The brick red steam light
ship that has become so familiar to
hundreds of commanders of steam and
sailing vessels will be Withdrawn, and
the expression "off the lightship" as the
end of a transatlantic trip will no
longer mean Sandy Hook lightship.
Although a small wooden lightship
with lights of minor power was an
chored more than fifty years ago. i've
miles from the entrance to Godney
channel in nearly the same location
as the present guide, it was not until
twenty-four years ago that suitable
craft was put there. This lightship,
built in 1884, was replaced by the pres
ent craft in 1892, q steel vessel, with
electric lamps and steam power to save
her should she break from her moor
ings. AS the vessel was slowly wear
ing away with age 1t was decided TWO
years ago to replace her with modern
craft, and with the new ship came a
spirited discussion as to change of
name.
The matter was taken up at several
meetings of the lighthouse establish
ment bureau in Washington and it was
finally decided that the Importance of
the new deep waterway into New York
harbor demanded that the marking
ship should bear it's name. So strong
was sentiment against the change that
the new lightship has lain for several
months fully complete at the yard at
Tompkinsville without the words Am
brose channel on the sides.
At last the name Of the channel was
declared TO be more to the point than
the words Sandy Hook, especially as
all of the big ships coming in by the
lighted mark would steam fully three
miles away from the Hook in their use
of the new Ambrose channel. A week
ago the big letters were painted on and
the ship is now fitting up ready to go
on the station.
According to officials the lighthouse
department fully expects all sorts of
protests 10 be made by those who cling
to the old name. There is to be no
change in the lights or fog signals.

ERx Associated Press. }

RENO, New, Nov. 15.-It is rumored
that the Southern Pacific will electrify
its road from Sparks to San Francisco,
that e. H. Hartman is behind the
Fleischaker interests and that the
Truckee River General Electric COM
pany is already in Southern Pacific
hands.
The rumor cannot be verified at
present, but the news is CLEANED from
a source usually authentic, that Mr..
Hartman is trying to control the
electric power of this part of the
country.
The Truckee River company has
passed to the Fleishalzer interests and
the actual sale should be consum-
mated within a few days.
General Manager Baum ard Super
intendent Naphaly were in CT cacn City
and Virginia City last week looking
over the old property of the company
at those points.
The men are comforting with the
main offices of the Fleischer's in San
Francisco, and as soon as their report
is made it is expected the money for
the property will be paid over and
control established.

President of Body Declares 1t Has

Ing Any More Attacks
on Trusts

ST. LOUIS, Nov. 15.-President r. e.
Simmons of the National Prosperity
association today made public a letter
which he had sent to all members of
the association. announcing the COM
pletion of its work.
The association, says the letter, pre-
vented President Roosevelt from send
ing any more messages to congress that
had the appearance of an attack on
large corporations.
The letter of President Simmons, in
part, follows:
''The work of the National Prosperity
association Is finished. The object for
which 1t was organized. viz, to hasten
the return of prosperity has been ac-
complished.
Results far better than we had ex-
pected were obtained. Among the most
Important of these was the visit of
President Roosevelt which resulted In
his not sending any more messages to
congress or doing anything that had
the appearance of being an attack upon
railroads or other large corporations.
Perhaps the most important thing is
the change in public sentiment toward
railroads and large corporations-espe-
cially in the south and in the south
west. 'Muckrakers' have ceased to
show their heads; demagogues have
quit talking, and very healthy state
of mind prevails toward these indus
tries, whereas, previous to our work,
there was a vicious antagonism clearly
evident among the masses Of the people,
most of whom held their views OF
opinions without giving the subject
proper thought.
1--WE confidently believe the work of
the association has, in great measure,
prepared the commercial mind of this
country for the quick return of full
measure of prosperity"

Choir Singer Meets
Death

SPOKANE, Wash, Nov. 15.-Carry-
ing one of it's occupants to her death,
an automobile in which were seven per-
sons plunged over a precipitous bluff
overlooking the Spokane river shortly
after O'Clock tonight.
The party in the machine was COM
posed of William A. Nichols, president
Of the Nichols Investment company,
well known in New York; his three sis
tiers, Mrs. H. C. Swami, Miss Mary
Nichols and Miss Mona Nichols; H. c..
Swami of the Swami Mccain Electrical
company; Chauffeur Charles Chambers
and William Fallx of the Dulmage-R
Automobile company.
Miss Mary Nichols died three hours
after the accident. Mr.. Nichols was
taking his sisters and brother-in-law
for ride which it was intended to end
at the First Methodist Episcopal
church, where Miss Mary Nichols was
to have led the singing of the Epworth
league. They were running along. the
avenue.
Chauffeur at Fault
It was quite dark, and the chauffeur,
who was evidently unfamiliar with the
road, did not take into account the fact
that draw in the bluff cuts into the
avenue.
The front wheels of the machine went
into the end of the ravine and the ma
chine began to slide down the steep in
cline.
When it was gone but a few feet in
it's descent it turned over, and gather
ing momentum as it went it crashed
down the almost perpendicular incline
amid a shower of loose boulders and
small stones, in which it landed, partly
buried fifty feet below.
When the automobile first turned
over all the occupants were spilled out,
fact which doubtless accounts for the
escape of at least the majority of the
party from death.

DICTATES STATEMENT SAYING
HE REGRETS RUMoR
Senator Afraid Duke Has Been Caused
a Great Deal of Annoyance, for
Which He is AwfulIy
Sorry

WASHINGTON, Nov. 15.-Senator
Stephen B. Elkins tonight made the
emphatic announcement that no en-
gagement exists between his daughter,
Miss katherine Elkins, and the duke
of the Abruzzi. The statement was
made with the knowledge and con-
sent OF Miss Elkins, who desires that
it should be given to the public, which
has manifested SO great an interest
in the matter.
Senator EllSins arrived in Washing
ton from his West Virginia home to-
day. HE was asked by a representa-
tive of the Associated Press if he cared
to make any announcement concerning
the reported engagement of his daugh-
ter.
In response he dictated the following
statement:
81 do not care to say anything further
than that my daughter and the duke
of the Abruzzi are not engaged to be
married, and that l regret exceedingly
the annoyance that must have come
to the duke and his family by reason
of the almost daily discussion of the
matter in the press and the constant
publication Of rumors for so long time
--rumors which l venture to hope Will
now cease"
While the senator made it clear that
Miss EIkins and the duke are not en-
gagged. he entertained for the duke the
highest regard, as was evidenced by
tbe reply which he made to an inquiry
as to how we'll he was acquainted with
the duke.
Doesn't Know Him Well
mot very WE'LL" he replied frankly,
''but from what I know and have
heard of him 1 regard him as not only
a distinguished personality by reason
of his birth and position, but added
to this he is an able man of the high
est character, a well-known explorer
and scientist, one who has done things
and accomplished much, besides being
a distinguished officer of high rank
in his native country"
Senator Elkins dictated the forego-
ing statements very carefully and as
carefully revised them after they were
written.
He was earnest in his expression of
the hope that his statement would be
accepted by the public in the spirit IN
which it was made.
He has felt a delicacy in discussing
the matter at all, but believed that
the time had arrived under all the
circumstances to make an announce
ment of the facts.
Mrs. Elkins and Miss Katherine Ell
kins are yet at their West Virginia
home, but they expect in the near fu-
ture to join the senator in Washing
ton.

If there's trouble in the cup;
Why, just write to Mr.. Roosevelt
And he'll fix the matter up.
If they lynch a coon in Texas,
If the green bugs in the wheat,
If there's anything to vex us,
If you're troubled with cold feet,
If your dinner isn't ready,
Or you're feeling rather dry;
Send a telegram to Teddy,
And you'll get a hot reply.
If there's too much rain in Kansas,
Or it's dry in Tennessee.
If a summer cyclone fans us,
Or if Towser has a flea.
If your sweetheart's proven tickle,
If you want to know the score,
If you get a punctured nickel,
Drop a line to Theodore.
If you need another member
Of the Ananias Club,
If you're sunstruck in December,
If you're suffering for grub,
If the railroad rates are higher,
Or the beef trust gets too gay;
Ring up Roosevelt on the wire,
And there'll be the deuce to pay.
If the stork don't come in your path.
If we lose to the Maroons,
If Ben Tillman's on the warpath,
Or Maria's full of prunes,
If the troops shoot up a city,
Or you cannot pay your rent;
Take a lesson from this ditty,
Write to Roosevelt, President.
If there's scandal in Peoria.
Or the city's filled with graft,
Or if Storer tells a story,
Or they're knocking on Bill Taft,
If a panic hits the nation.
Or they loose the dogs of war,
II the world needs a vacation,
Put it up to Theodore.
