PORTLAND LANDS
 SUPPLIES 0N KYAK
Launches From KataIIa Can Take Relief So Soon As
 Storm Subsidies

Steamship Portland landed severa tons of food supplies on Kyak island, and so soon as the storm moderates the launches now on the island will convey the supplies to Katalla. That much Capt. Moore was able to do to- ward the relief of those who by wire less informed him that they are starving.
 Capt. Moore waited nearly two days i'll the hopes that he might be able to make a landing at Katalla, but the necessities of maintaing his schedule forced him to continue to Valdez af- ter that period had elapsed. How ever, it is believed that it will not be long before the weather conditions are such as to permit the launches to make the trip, and that the Katalla- ties will soon have supplies sufficient to relieve their pressing necessiti es, and to forestall any danger of star vation.
 There seems to be a question as to the seriousness of the conditions in Katalla. The steward on the Santa Clara says that on the trip before this that vessel stopped off Katalla, and while it was not possible to land any big consignment of freight, the peo- pie of the town were given an oppor- tunity to buy from the Santa Clara's stores. The only things sold were q case of eggs and quarter of beef. It was said that nothing else was needed.
 In steamship circles the opinion pre- vails that it is the desire of the Ka- talla people to make such disturb ance as will force the steamships to make Katalla a regular port of call, despite weather conditions.

GUGGENHElM SAYS HE
 SEES NOTHING ALARMING

New York, Dec. 2t--Daniel Gug- genheim, questioned this morning concerning the combine now being formed to crush him, declared that he sees nothing alarming in the pur- pose of it's promoters.
 Mir. Guggenheim denied that his company owns any smelters for hand ling copper to the exclusion of other metals, and says that as long as he considers copper smelting an "annoy- ing business" 1t is not likely that his company will own any exclusive cop per plants.

 ID R0B PAYMASTER

New York, Dec. 22--Two soldiers turned bandits this morning and made desperate but unsuccessful attempt to hold up and rob an army paymas- ter who had s1 400 in his possession. The paymaster resisted the highway men and after brief and bloodless conflict they fled.
 The identity of the men is not known, and their company and regi. ment is also a mystery.

wealth who tends to unite the working
men by lack of sympathy and uncom-
promising hostility to them. He adj
mits that class grievance unrem-
edied breeds class consciousness.
The movement for thorough control
of the business use of the great wealth
employed in interstate commerce, he
says. is conservative, only this policy
being likely to save us from pluto
cratic class government on the one
hand or a Socialist class government on
the other Nevertheless he insists that
power should be lodgkl with the ex-
ecufiye to permit combinations which
further the public interest" He be-
lieYes that the courts have not the
knowledge or experience to determine
this question. Unless d national in
corporation law can be enacted the
president believes that an efficient ex-
ecntive body should be created with
power to correct abuses and work out
complex problems and with power par
ticularly to control the issuance Of
corporate securities. He believes it
not possible wholly TO except labor or
ganization from the workings of the
antitrust law, but says that it is obyi-
Gus that such organizations not formed
for profit should not be required to fur
nish statistics of their operations es-
pecially in so far as they are engaged
in production only.
In speaking Of the man who breaches
hatred Of wealth he finds a counter
part in the multimillionaire, ssof whom
it has been well said that his face has
grown hard and cruel while his body
has grown soft, whose son is a fool
and his daughter foreign princess,
whose nominal pleasures are at best
those of tasteless and extrayagant
luxury and whose real delight, whose
real life work, is the accumulation and
use of power in its most sordid and
least eleyating form .

Another Appeal From Roosevelt.

Another Appeal From Roosevelt.
President Roosevelt sent to congress,
April 27, and over the heads of con-
gress to the nation, a specific pro-
gramme of legislation in line with his
previous messages and making some
additions thereto. Coming, as 1t does,
near the adjournment of the session,
the message is generally understood to
be virtually a campaign document. 1t
lays greatest stress upon the necessity
of increasing the power of the fed
eral government over the great cor
porations engaged In interstate COM
merce. For the first time the steel
trust is indicated as one of the COM
binations against which the federal
power should be exerted, this in con-
nection with a report made to the city
Of Boston concerning steel corpora
lions doing business with that city.
The report has been laid before the
department of justice for action. In
again urging that the antitrust law be
strengthened the president says that
sseyery farsighted patriot should pro-
test first Of all against the growth in
this country of that evil thing which
is called class consciousness, adding
that sthe demogogue, the sinister or
foolish Socialist visionary who strives
to arouse this feeling among the work

The Rev. Percy S. Grant, rector of
the Church of the Ascension (Episco-
paD, on Fifth avenue, New York, has
been much In the imelight recently
because Of the Sunday night meetings
conducted by his assistant, the Rev.
Alexander Irvine, to discuss socialism
with all comers The origin of this
movement was the thought that some
thing should be done to discover why
the woFkingmen no longer take part in
church services. After talking with
many Socialists Dr. Grant became con
WINGED that socialism in the United
States was destined to be a peaceful
evolutionary movement in the interest
OF justice. But he says that Irvine and
himself do not propose to be bottle
holders for political partisans while
they indulge in Sunday night scraps
What the meetings really aim to be
is an interchange of everyday expert
ences in which workingmen may learn
that the church has warm place in
its heart for them and is willing to
deal honestly with their social needs
and rights. He wants to show that
the church of Christ has not become
"a rich mans club, where only those
things can be said from the pulpit
that are agreeable to the rich'' He
says he wants to bring the new en-
tlusiasm of real sense of human
brotherhood to reyitalize some of the
self satisfied, worldly. somnolent Chris
tianity of today He hopes to give
fresh reality to religion By showing
that it is not the creation of a priestly
caste or our inheritance from any
given race or a system of command
ments, ceremonies and dogmas based
upon any kind of authority, but that
it is the fundamental need of every life
and can be read in the experiences of
human nature"

took more than week; but 1t was
successful. and away floated the enor-
nous afterpart of the Milwaukee from
the rocks. leaving her worse half still
impaled, pounding furiously. and
clearly doomed TO destruction in an
other tide or two.
But now another danger had to be
faced. The immense weight of boil
ers and engines caused the rescued
section to sink dangerously deep, and
the surgeons were by no means
sure that the engine room bulkheads
would stand the tremendous pressure
But the Milwaukee proved to be n
pretty healthy patient, and no part of
her amputated section gave sign of
yielding. That the crippled ship, SO
strangely saved by leaving half of
herself on tine rocks, was able to get
back to the Tyne at all is sufficiently
remarkable; but more marvellous still.
she was able to use her own steam
during the whole trip of one hundred
and fifty miles. OF course, the res
cuing tugs stood Ivy the wounded mon
ster.
Arrived at last in Hospital, the
drydocks of her builders,-,a new fore
part was built and spliced on the saw
ed section, so skilfully that the re-
constructed ship. huge as she was.
differed from the original by only six
tons in her gross weight. This Sur
gicai' operation was worth two nun
dred and five thousand dollars to the
owners.
Case of the srevic.
"A similar. but even more extensive
case was that of the White Star liner
Seuvic. impaled On the needlellke
Stag Rocks, off the Cornish coast of
England, one day in March. Sne tore
into the sunken rocks at a thirteen
knot clip; so that, like the Milwaukee.
she was spitted like an insect on q
pin.
Passengers and part of the cargo
We're safely landed. and then under
circumstances of incredible difficulty,
in one of the most notorious of navi-
gable seas, n close examination was
made. and daring measures were re-
solved. 1t was seen that the after part
was practically unchanged; for tho
waterHsht bulkheads had been clos
ed. And again by the use of dyna-
mite, placed and exploded with inf.
mite care, the towering bow was cut
of. Many blasts were needed; and
