Big Cunarder
Badly Damaged
at Its Dock
Fire Gains Such Headway in Lucania
that Steamer is Flooded and
Sinks.

: LIVERPOOL, Aug. l5.--The Cupard line
steamer, Lucania lies submerged tonight at
the Huskisson dock, seriously damaged,
having been almost gutted from its fun
nels forward by the fire which broke out
on board the liner Saturday evening. The
flames are supposed to have originated
in the salon kitchen.
The fire brigade of the vessel with two
powerful motor engines turned out i'm
mediatly at the first alarm and found the
first salon burning fiercely from end to
end. Despite all their efforts the flames
gradually worked forward until they
reached the steerage consuming every par
tcle OF the woodwork there and then
played havoc with the forehold.
At this time the heat was tremendous
and the flames shooting high from the
vessel attracted thousands of persons to the
side of the river, where they remained
throughout the night.
At o'clock this afternoon It was de-
cided to flood the vessel by admittance Of
water into 1t from the deck. So 1t keeled
over and it's tunnels came in contact with
the cranes on the dock and were badly
damaged. A half dozen firemen. who were
on the gangway at this time were thrown
into the water, but all were rescued. A
tleet OF tugs was then Drought into requl-
sition and pulled the liner upright and held
it until it settled firmly on the mud bottom.
1t was 10 o'clock this morning before the
fire was under control and noon before
the fire brigade was able to relinquish
their task. The second-class quarters and
the whole after part Of the boat, including
the engine room, escaped injury from the
flames and comparatively little damage
was done to the exterior or the vessel.
Its upper part is considerably above water,
The first salon skylghts were destroyed
and the docks forward are badly buckled.
Some of the plates of the hull were warped
by the heat
Late tonight the Lucania was refloated
with the aid of salvage tugs and power
full pumps. 1t will be dry-docked and
towed to Glasgow for repairs.
According to some reports the fire first
broke out in the starboard galley, but
was quickly extinguisned by the ships
officers. A half hour later there was
another outbreak in the port kitchen, and
while the fire brigade was dealing with
this fierce blaze burst out in the stor-
age and fore peak.

Prof. ]. w. Crook of Amherst Talks

New EngIander LecturinK In

J. w. Crook of the chair of economics at
Amherst. Prof. Crook spent Saturday and
Sunday in Omaha as the guest of z. c.
Belden.
q find that chautauqua audiences" he
declared, ARE made up of maturer people
than those in an academic hall, and are not
so likely, either, to have had a surfeit Of
lectures.
There are three points upon which they
can be quickly reached-the home, patriot
ism and temperance. A man who can b.
eloquent upon these themes will be lie.
cidedly popular. The supreme test is his
ability to speak with regard TO Abraham
Lincoln. By a lecturers eulogy of Lincoln
his measure is taken"
Asked what he considered the burning
question in his field OF work, Prof. Crook
answered: The control of corporations" ="
This answer he Immediately amended by
coupling with it, the relations between
capital and labor"
OF the two problems he thought the
former would be the easier to adjust Pub .
licity is the remedy" said he. Public opin-
ion, when well Informed, is the great SOL
vent of the questions involved"
With regard to the labor problem Prof
Crook thinks that the question OF adequate
pay will be pretty generally fairly ad-
justed, but that the element of personal
relations will be more difficult such b
question as the cecogn',Ion OF the union
the law is powerless at present to touch"
Prof. Crook is a graduate Of Oberlin col
lege. He spent his first gradus te year at
the University of Wisconsin, Il e next at
the University Of Berlin and !he last at
Columbia where he took his electorate. He
is lecturing at Red Oak Ia, tins week.

LIQUOR MEN TO FIGHT THE TAX

State to Commence Pro-

ST LOUIS. Aug. ia contest between
the Wholesale Liquor Dealers association
and the state authorities is presaged by
the attitude Of each on the new merchants
tax which goes into effect tomorrow. The
wholesalers have announced that they will
contest the graduated license scheme on
the ground that 1t is unconstitutional.
Excise Commissioner Caulfield stated to-
night that all liquor merchants who do
not file the required reports within a
reasonable time" will be cited to the cir
cult attorney. This is In line with the
known plans of the wholesalers, who, in
declaring their opposition TO the tax, stated
that they would not initiate court pro-
ceedings, but would resist attempts to
collect.
The tax runs 800 and upwards, those
dealing in 5000 gallons or less each year
paying the minimum. The smaller dealers
are not expected TO take part in the fight
over the constitutionality of the measure

STOCK MARKET IS ERRATTC
Prices Reach Almost to Top Level of
Nineteen Hundred and Six.
SOUND BUSINESS SEEMS ASSURED
Another Encouraging Feature is the
Disposal of the Surplus stock
of Copper, syyish a Good
Demand.

NEW YORK, Aug. 15.-The develop
ments bearing on the financial outlook
were of sufficient importance last week
TO keep the stock market valuations in a
constant state Of flux in the attempt 20
gauge the situation. The professional at
titude was one of constant suspicion and
watchfulness for reaction. The freedom
with which this suspicion was acted on
in the way Of selling stocks short, only to
be compelled to buy them in at higher
prices accounted for part of the recurrent
strength Of the whole market. The skepti-
cism manifested by the professional OPP
orators in the market was not due to any
unsatisfactory news affecting values, but
solely TO the technical position. The close
approximation of the price level to the
highest record of New York Stock ex-
change prices, made in 1906, was itself an
often cited reason for being on guard.
The present level of prices. while still
somewhat below the average for the picked
active stocks touched in 1906, is held TO
represent a higher absolute range than
ever before touched. The former averages
included the inflated prices touched by
several of the great northwestern railroad
systems in connection with valuable sub
the distribution of the Great Northern's S
iron mine properties to its stockholders.
Another ground for the opposition of the
habitual traders to the advance is the
number of important happenings which
have come to pass after having long served
purposes as factors in the speculation. II
was this element in the speculation which
attacked the market when the tariff bill
was passed, arguing that 1t was not pos
sible for results following the bill TO be
brighter than spectators had been TAX
ing for granted while buying stocks. The
same procedure was followed after the
publication OF the government crop re-
port,
Influence of Crops.
While there was some momentary dis
appointment over the sharp deterioration
in the condition of the corn crop. the gov
ernment crop report on maturer considera-
ton, served TO clinch the conviction that
agricultural prosperity was assured for the
season. The decline in the corn condition
left the crop estimate still at a record
figure, and the oats crop, practically gar
nered, also stands at a record The wheat
crop is regarded as made at the date of
