NEW YORK, March 1.-The steamer
Pathfinder, from Boston, a 2,SOO-tou ves-
sci of the New York and Porto Rico
Steamship company, struck a rock in He'll
Gate late yesterday afternoon and al
most sank before she could get under a
dry dock in Erie basin, according to the
Herald this morning. A hole was smash
ed in her hull four feet below the watAr

The Pathfinder blew for assistance, but
as no immediate aid was forthcoming,
Captain Hughes rushed his vessel full
steam ahead. Off Wall street the harbor
tug President steamed alongside and set
two wrecking pumps at work and the
stricken ship was finally worked into the
dock, although there was IL feet of water
in the hold.
The accident to the Pathfinder occurred
when she swung in shore to avoid a col
lision with a tug and was caught in the
strong floodtide and thrown against a
Jagged rock. She arrived here from Bos-
ton, whittier she had carried a cargo of
sugar from Porto Rico, and was to load
out again in her regular run. There were
no passengers on board.

CRITICISM OF PAINE
"WAS A SMALL THING"

CHICAGO. March IN. NJ. Mangasa-
rian has made his promised criticism of
President Roosevelts action in refusing
to receive his protest against the charac-
terization of Thomas Paine as "a filthy
little atheist"
81 do not blame President Roosevelt for
his remark said Mr.. Mangasarian. His
religious training is responsible for his
narrow views. This is the way of political
tolerance. The name of Jefferson Davis
has been restored to it's place among the
iiustrious names I'm Washington. Oliver
Cromwell, who led the king of England
to the scaffold, has his name in the Pan
theon Of England. In politics we are civ
iized; in religion we are still barbarians.
president Roosevelt's virtues are great
and we respect him for them. Great in
come things. ne is so small in others that
it seems .ncomprehensible that one man
can be capable of doing and saying things
so WIDE apart. l pity his ignorance, and
the worst / wish him is that he may in
time become enlightened"

BIG STEEL MERGER
MAY Be ATTACKED
SENATE AT EXTRA SESSION OF
CONGRESS WILL DIRECT AT
TORNEY GENERAL TO BRING
SUIT AGAINST TRUST.
By Ralph Smith

Especial Dispatch to The JournaL)
WASHINGTON, March las result
of a disagreement In the senate judiciary
committee relative to the absorption Of
the Tennessee Cooal and Iron company,
1t is stated positively that the senate, at
the extra session, will consider formid-
able movement to direct President Taft s
attorney general to bring suit to dissolve
the big steel merger.
The present administration was only
saved from a singing rebuke at the hands
of the committee by the absence of Sem
ator Bacon, who is Ill at his residence.
The vote was six to six, and had SEN
ator Bacon been present the committee
would have declared that President Roose-
welt had approved of and authorized an
act in violation of the Sherman antitrust
act.
Senators Culberson, Foraker and Nelson
were aggressive in their attitude. and the
duty of defending the president was
shouldered by Senator Knox.
Decision Very Lengthy
The decision not to submit either of the
reports of the subcommittee was reach
ed after a great deal of discussion.
Finally Senator Fulton moved that dis
agreement be reported and that each
senator should have the individual right
reserved to make such expressions Of
views to the senate as he desired This
motion was adopted by vote of to 8,
the affirmative votes being Messrs.
Clark, of Wyoming; Depew, Foraker,
Dillingham;, Knox and Fulton, and
Clarke, of Arkansas; and the negative
votes were Nelson, Kittredge, Culber-
son, Overman and Hayner. Senator Ba-
con was not present.
No vote was taken by the committee
on either of the reports of the sub-com-
mittee. Mr.. Foraker suggested that the
committee should report to the senate
that the president was not authorized by
law to permit the merger, such report
being in direct response to the inquiry
of the senate.
Bacon Wrote Letter
Because a motion Of that character ex-
cited a great deal of debate and differ
ences of opinion, Mr.. Foraker gave way
to the suggestion Of Mr.. Fulton. The
views Of Mr.. Bacon we're expressed in a
letter to the committee, and it is ex-
pected later he will amplify these and
present them to the senate.
Any views submitted to the senate on
the subject will be considered 'individ-
ual" reports. Not having the sanction
of the committee. THIS is generally re-
garded as a compromise as a number OF
senators had drafted a report declaring
the merger to be in violation OF the
Sherman antitrust law and rebuking
President Roosevelt for his part in the
transaction, while others declared 1T was
not the function of the committee under
the resolution adopted to pass upon these
questions.
