SIXTEEN PEOPLE DEAD
Packet on Lower Mississippi
Wrecked by Explosion.

New Orleans, Nov. 21.-The river
packet H. M. Carter was blown up
near Plaquemine, La. Four passen-
gers and twelve of the crew were
killed.
Fire followed the explosion, adding
to the horror of the situation.
Survivors arriving here were badly
scorched and they report that the ex-
plosion was of such force as to com.
pletely wreck the vessel.
The disaster was due to defective
boiler, according to the survivors.
The flames spread so rapidly that
most of the passengers were compelled
to leap into the water to escape death
The pilot refused to desert his post
and with the flames rising about him
endeavored to run his boat aground
end give his passengers an opportu-
nifty to land. He succeeded partially,
but the boat burned to the waters
edge.

SUIT AGAINST SUGAR TRUST
Government Seeks to Recover More
Than $4,000

New York, Nov 17.-That the Unit
ed States government has been de-
frauded out of millions of dollars by
the sugar trust is the allegation in
suits. brought by United States Dis
trict Attorney Henry l.. Stimson
against the mother of trusts
Papers have been filed in seven
separate actions in the United States
circuit court, in which it is sought to
recover $3,6o0,00O. Of this sum ST.
100000 is alleged to be duties on i'm
ported sugar fraudulently withheld
from the government by the American
Sugar Refining company
The balance of $2,100,O0O is the val
lie Of goods upon which duties were
likewise fraudulently withheld during
the past three years, it is claimed. by
the same corporation. 1t also includes
the duties on such goods.
Manipulation of the scales is the
method alleged to have been used by
the trust to escape payment of full
duties.
Further investigation is expected to
prove that the $3,6O0,O0O sued for is
only a percentage of what is due the
government

KAISER AGREES TO BE GOOD
Will Conform to Constitutional Meth

Berlin, Nov. 1S.-Forced by the
angry tide of popular feeling that
swept the empire from end to end,
Emperor William yielded to the ma

The climax to the public utterances
of the emperor was reached in an in
terview which he gave to an English
man and which was published in the
London Daily Telegraph on Oct %.
AS the outcome of this the whole
country was aroused; the reichstag
endorsed the attitude of many of it's
prominent members when they de-

smooth away the affair, undertook to
communicate to his majesty a straight

A lot of timber lying in the manway
was ignited and the convicts hoped
when attention had been attracted
to the flames they could make their
way through the mine ahead of the
smoke and fumes from the fire, and
escape by the main entry. In this
they miscalculated, for nine appear
to have been suffocated The others
appeared to be meeting with success

something. One employee saw the
flames burst out Making his way to

New York, Nov. 21.-Twenty-fv five
persons are believed to have lost their
lives in an explosion of gas which
tore up great section of Gold street,
Brooklyn. 1t is definitely known that
fifteen persons were buried under the
hundreds of tons of earth and timber
that were thrown into the air by the
explosion and ten more persons are
reported rs missing.
The explosion occurred in fifty
foot deep excavation that had been
made in Gold street between York
and Front streets where water main
was being laid The gas main recent.
ly sprung aleak and a spark came in
contact with escaping gas. Imme-
diately there was a terrific explosion
that lifted the surface of the street
for half block in both directions and
hurled dirt, paving stones and debris
into the air. When the smoke and
dust cleared away it was seen that
the street had been opened from door
step to door step over an area of
nearly block The loosened earth
had fallen into the excavation, bury
ing the score of laborers who were at
work when the accident happened.
Great tongues of flames shot out of
crevices in the street and beside them
geysers of water leaped into the air
from a water main that had been shat
tered by the explosion Two bodies
were sticking out of the wreckage.
Street Crowded With Children.
Cold street was crowded with
school children when the explosion
occurred and that scores of children
were not killed or injured was re-
markable A woman and three chill
dren we're almost opposite the exca-
walton when the earth crumbled under
their feet and they were swept down
into the hole under tons of wreckage.
Two other children were on the op-
sidewalk caved in and they lost their
lives.
Only four Of the men working in
the excavation escaped, and their es-
cape was remarkable. They were Ar
thur Strand Frank Schowcld, John
Grain and an Italian laborer known as
"John." These men were digging
near the opening of four-foot sewer
and the force of the explosion blew
them to the entrance of it. Strand
was hurled farthest in and he pulled
the other three men after him.
Water from the broken main began
to pour into the sewer and the four
men, in danger of being drowned,
started to run toward the river three
blocks away, where there was an out
let to the sewer. By the time they
reached the river the water was up to
their chins, but all of the men man
aged to reach the pier in safety.

Rockefeller Backward in An
sWeTing Questions.
TRUSTS ENORMOUS EARNINGS
Eighty Millions in Dividends and
Surplus in 1907.

New York, Nov 21.-For over five
hours John D. Rockefeller, witness for
the defense in the government suit to
dissolve the Standard Oil company,
faced an unceasing fire of questions
from the federal counsel, Frank B.
Kellogg, and when adjournment was
taken for the day the head of the
Oil combine was still being cross-ex-
amined on the charges that the COM
pany in its early days accepted re-
bates to the disadvantage Of it's rivals.
The enormous earning power of the
oil combination was sharply brought
out in the hearing when Mr.. Rockefel-
Ter, after stating that the Standard
had paid dividends amounting to $780,
100000 in 1907, said it had earned as
much more and that this was added
to the company's surplus, which was
stated by the governments counsel
to be $300,000,00O. 1t was further
stated by Mr.. Kellogg that the COM
pany within the past eight years had
earned nearly s50O,COO,OO0.
The course of Mr.. Rockefellers tes-
timony in the hands of government
counsel ran not so smoothly as on the
previous day, when he told his story
under the direction of friendly coun-
sci, but the rapid fire interrogations
of the prosecutor were always met
with mistaken imperturbality and
readiness to answer except when, as
he explained:
1T is quite impossible for me to re-
member after thirty years, do not
recall
Mr.. Rockefeller was questioned
closely regarding rebates, which the
Standard was charged with receiving,
but with the exception Of the agree
ment with the Pennsylvania railroad,
which Mr.. Rockefeller explained gave
the Standard rebate because it eff
fected an equalization of oil ship
ments, Mr. Rockefeller could not re-
call any other rebates, though he
thought it was likely that he might
have heard of it at the time.
Mr.. Rockefeller admitted that
through the earnings of the Standard
Oil in 1907, he has been enriched to
the extent of $8,000,000.
