A WEIRD STORY OF A
HORROR OF THE SEA

New York, Mar. 24.-The story
of strange shipwreck on the high
seas and a narrow escape from death
was told by Captain Griffis and the
crew of five, of the Baltimore schoon-
er William Skinner, abandoned at
sea on their arrival here today
aboard the Cunarder Etruria.
The Skinner sailed from George,
South Carolina, on February Ia for
New Haven, Conn. with cargo of
lumber. The next day the schooner
ran into heavy gale In the high
seas. the heavily laden craft began
to leak. In the pitch and pounds
of the combers the seams of the
schooner began to open. The crew
manned the pumps but the schooner
filled rapidly and suddenly turned
over on her port side. Captain
Griffis scrambled up on the star
board side and lashed himself fast.
The men thus remained for three
hours when the schooner suddenly
righted itself. Cutting themselves
free from the lashings, the crew as
sembled on the deck. Days passed
and provisions and water though
carefully husbanded, gave only scant
nourishment to Captain Griffis and
his men. In n weeks time they
faced death from starvation. On
February % when hope was almost
lost the British steamer Brayhead
bound from Galveston for Belfast
was sighted. The Brayhead bore
down upon the waterlogged schooner
and took off her sailors.
The William Skinner was built II
Baltimore in 1898 and was 222 ton,
burden.

Cedar Rapids, Ia, March "a
Delegates to the Democratic state
convention, to be held here Thurs
day, are beginning to arrive today,
and there is prospect that the session
will develop one of the hottest fights
in the history of the party. The
anti-Bryan democrats were COM
pletely victorious in the first skirm-
ish of the state committee, but the
admirers of the Nebraskan are de-
termined to secure his endorsement
by the convention. The Bryan
boomers are in furious mood and

Leaders of Movement Declare Recent Political
Changes in Turkey Are Favorable to Zion
ism Their Hope in Young Turks.

Of the bloodless revolution before our eyes
where so many prophets have been con
rounded by the events, | believe that
the courageous patriotism Of the
leaders will be equal to their self
imposed task. But only upon one condi-
tion-that the program for which Prince
Sebah-Ed-Din has fought SO strenuously
remains definitely fixed as the lodestar on
the new armament. This program de-
mandS the widest possible decentraiza-
talk of a clash between the Ottoman
committee of union and progress and
Sebah-Ed-Din's Ottoman League Of Pr-
va.e Initiative, on this point at least
there could be no conflict The consti-
tuition of Midhat Pasha. which has now
been reproclaimed. expressly states (sec-
ton 1857 that provincial administration
is based Gu the broadest form of decen-
tralization. The general councils elected
treat of the affairs of the province and
control them Upon this decentraliza-
ton the Zionists pin their hope. The
further course of events must depend
upon the principle of representation to
be laid down for these councils. Posi-
bly,, also. some new division of the coun-
try for administrative purposes and more
in accord with the ethnie frontiers will
be necessary. a demand which has al
ready come from Macedonia. That this
principle will be an equitable one l have
no doubt, for the Young Turks are too
we'll versed in modern politics to repeat
the mistake made by Germany in its
treatment of the Poles or of England in
it's dealings with the Irish. In fact the
Young Turks may teach Europe second
lesson no less momentous than the first.
that a state is far better served when
1t allows the widest range to the ma
ional and racial aspirations of it's coher-
ent parts than when it seeks to stifie
these aspirations and produces sores

NEW YORK, November %, 1908.
THE substance of an interview In
Paris with DR.. Max Nordau has
been cabled to the Jewish Morning
Journal of this country In this inter
view the noted writer and Zionist leader
declares that the political changes in Tur-
key are very favorable to the Zionist
movement. and that the success of Zion
ism is now more certain than ever.
1t is at the same time also reported that
some of the leaders of the Young Turks
| in Paris, who are in friendly relations with
the Zionists there. have arranged meet
ing between Mr.. Joseph Cowen of London,
a director of the Jewish colonial trust, the
financial agent of the Zionist movement,
and Prince Sebah-Ed-Din. the sultan S
nephew, who is the leader Of the fedora
ZIONIST faction of the Young Turks and
the head of the Ottoman League of Pri-
vate Initiative. Prince ah-Ed-Din is
one of the important leaders of the new
regime, and his ideas on decentralization
and of granting national autonomy TO the
different races of Turks are most favor
able to the Zionist aspirations. MIR. Cowen
is therefore very DESTROYS of having con-
ference with this Turkish leader.
In q recent statement on The New and
Old Zionism'' Prof. Richard Gottheil of
Columbia University, said:
More than any other country, the Tur-
kiSh empire is congeric Of nationalittes
and of religious bodies with semi-na-
tional constitution. VIII the Young Turks

such an end. But with the object lesson

NEW EPWORTH LEAGUE
PRESIDENT IN JANUARY

Regrets at the resignation Of Homer A.

trict Epworth League and the apprecia-
ton Of his efforts in behalf of the Or
ganization have been expressed in an
official letter to him, prepared by F. c..
Lucas, District corresponding secretary
The letter, In part, is as follows:
When you were indicted into Office last
May there devolved upon you a burden Of
responsibility in connection with the Dis
trict League that cannot be overesti-
mated. The supervision Of nearly forty
chapters of the Epworth League was
your portion, and your practical and
heartfelt interest in these organizations
been lost during your administration, two
have been added to the rolls, and to many
has been impaired new hope and zeal
by your official and personal efforts in
their behalf. Many new members have
been added to the chapters in the Dis
trict and. more than all, there has been
aroused through your personal example
and endeavor a spiritual enthusiasm that
will undoubtedly continue and grow in
years to come, and is the most fitting
testimonial that could be offered as to
your faithful leadership.
THE board wishes at this time to make
especial mention of the valuable service
you have rendered it in furthering the
plans lot building In the Phlllpplne Is
lands a church that will reflect honor
upon the Washington District Epworth
League. and afford thousands Of native
Filipinos an opportunity Of attending
public worship under the auspices Of the
Methodist Episcopal Church. 1t fell to
your lot to act as sponsor for this
church, and to carry on the campaign
necessary to raise the funds for it's COM
pletion. Right nobly have you carried
out the wishes of the board in this mat
fer in all else intrnStpd TO
not only in the stirring appeals you have
made to the Methodist public, but in
personal solicitation and inspiration. and
it is largely to your credit today that
