Believe Astor,s Yacht
Has Safely Ridden
The Tempest

A1EW YORK, Nov. 1S.-Some assur-
~ ance that Col. John Jacob Astor's
yacht Nourmahal, which has
been missing in West Indian waters
for 10 days, safely outrode the recent
hurricane, was brought here today by
Capt. j. Durie of the steamship An
Meta, which arrived with fruit from
Jamaican ports.
Captain Durie reported that on Sun
day, Nov. IA, he sighted ship he be-
lieved to be the Nourmahal riding at
anchor in the road harbor at Hawks
Nest, San Salvador, the island on
which Columbus landed in 1892.
Colonel Astor's friends were inclined
to doubt that the yacht seen by Cap
tain Durie was the Naurmahal, as San
Salvador is nearly 200 miles north of
the region where Colonel Astor
planned to cruise.
The fruit steamer passed within
three miles of the yacht-a large white
steam vessel, with yellow funnel and
about 250 feet long. This description
would answer that of the Astor yacht.
The storm had lost its hurricane
intensity on Sunday, when the fruit
steamer passed San Salvador, but
heavy weather still prevails. The
yacht showed no signs of distress, and
Captain Durie thought it had put INTO
the shelter before the hurricane and
was awaiting more favorable weather.

house cleaning commission of eight
customs eXperts-Whose integrity is
unquestionable-has been appointed
by Mr.. Loeb to take up the work of
making the New York customs house
a model for the entire country"
Although the names of the six men
dismissed today were not given out,
Mr.. Loeb said all were customs in
spectors.
The direct reason for the dismissal
of two of the inspectors was said by
Collector Loeb to be their acceptance
recently of tips from steamer passen-
gers, while the others are under
charges in connection with the sugar
frauds
The report is that more than so
other employees are to be ousted within
few days
The new commission, expected to
devise scheme of reorganization for
the customs administration at the port
of New York, is headed by John c.
Williams, deputy collector, and Mark
p. Andrews, member of MIR. Loeb's
personal board of legal counsel. 9th
er members represent all important
departments Of the customs service.
The eight men, known as the collec-
tors advisory commission" held a
long session today.
Nothing was given out as to what
was DONE

Excon1nunicdtion Is
sued Against Chris
tian Scientist

OSTON, Nov. 1S.-An order of ex-
communication against Mrs. Au-
gusta E. Stetson of New York,
for years regarded as one of the most
prominent and powerful factors in the
Christian Science church, was issued
by the board of directors of the moth
er church of this city today.
In their order the directors stated
that a conference of more than three
days had convinced them of the truth
of charges, against Mrs Stetson,
namely, that she worked against the
interests of the church and of men,
bers of the church who were not her
followers and that she had persisted
in teachings and practices that are
contrary to Christian Science. EX-
communication is rarely resorted to
in the Christian Science church and,
in view of Mrs. Stetson's prominence,
today's action was regarded as most
drastic. Mrs. Stetson formerly was
first reader of the First Church of
Christ Scientist of New York city and
until her suspension today, was pas
tor emeritus of that church at sal
ary of $4,000 a year.
In answer to a summons by the
hoard of directors, Mrs. Stetson on
Monday appeared before the board at
the mother church. The session was
secret, no one being present except
Mrs. Stetson, her counsel, witnesses
and the directors The conferences
continued three days, or more than As
hours.

said he was amazed to hear such a
statement. But it was not until Com
missioner Mosely obtained the floor
that the situation became delicate.
I'VE have heard you ask for uni

finger at Mr.. Mosely. 1--WE are get

Mr.. Mosely.
"We have authority continued Mr..

Mr. Mosely, with vigor.

Mr. Earle continued that if federal

"It would not be bad," he added, "if
you had competent men, but you send

that try to lord it over us with the
badge of federal inspectors"
Mr.. Mosely explained that railroads
are required to report on wrecks and
it is desired to have these reports
more accurate and more detailed with
view to preventing railroads from
lying about wrecks"

AT last in wings triumphant
The puny creature, man,
Can soar aloft as even
The stately eagle can,
Can rise above the steeple
And gambol in the air
And on a moments notice
Can go most anywhere.

Before he turned the trick.
For years his apparatus
Right to the earth would stick.
1t cost him many a tumble,
Nor were the bruises shy
Whenever he attempted,
Before he learned to fly.
And many were his wonders
That never made a start,
That failed at the beginning
And well nigh broke his heart,
And many were the theories
He figured out with care
That looked all right on paper,
But couldn't cleave the air.
But now mere man has conquered;
The wheels revolve, and, 10,
He spins athwart the azure
And circles to and fro!
Amazed are all the crokers
Who said it was absurd.

That man is now a bird.
