Boston Especially Rev. Dr.. Ed
ward Everett Hale. chaplain of the
United States Senate, died at his
home in Roxbury.
News of the death of DR.. Hale
shocked Boston to an unusual degree
because comparatively few knew that
he was i'll. A week ago he was pres
ent at the celebration in honor of the
ninetieth birthday of Mrs. Julia Ward
Howe, his contemporary in many of
the reform movements with which
both had been identified for more
t an SO years. To his family it had
been apparent for some time that DR..
Hale's health was failing. A few
days ago heart weakness was noticed
and his condition became alarming.
1t is recalled that on returning to
Boston from Washington few weeks
ago, having temporarily relinquished
his duties as chaplain of the Senate,
DR.. Hale became i'll on the train, but
the illness was ascribed to a disor-
der of the stomach and he apparently
recovered within day or two.
AS DR.. Hale's age advanced his
friends delighted to celebrate his
birthdays. Especially noteworthy was
the occasion of his SEVENTEEN and
eightieth anniversaries, at both of
which public meetings were held. In
1892 purse of $4,000 was given
him. In the celebration of 1902,
which was held in Symphony Hall,
great audience honored the distinz
guished divine. while Senator Hoar
delivered one of his most eloquent ad-
dresses.
DR.. Hale's family included Mrs.
Hale, who was Emily Baldwin Per-
kins, a granddaughter of the Rev.
Lyman Beecher, and five children,
Miss Helen Hale, Philip L. Hale,
well-known artist: Prof Edward
Everett Hale, Jr., of Union College;
Herbert Hale, an architect, and Ar
thur Hale, employed by the Pennsyl-
vania Railroad.
A telegram from President Taft,
received by Mrs. Hale, read as fol-
lows:
Mrs. Taft and I extend to you
our heartfelt sympathy in your great
sorrow, and deeply regret the loss
which the whole community suffers
in the death of such an upholder and
stanch advocate of sweetness and
light, the liberal but truly religious
spirit, Christian charity and toler-
ance, the brotherhood Of man and
the Fatherhood of God.

casualties may be greatly increased,
as the ruins have not yet been en-
tirely searched. The villages of st.
Cannut and Rognes were completely
demolished by the earthquake, and
Lambesc, which is twelve miles from
AK, suffered heavily. According to
advices received here a number of
wounded are still imprisoned in the

the streets are impossible. In many
places they have been torn up and
are encountered with masses of
rocks. Houses, public buildings and
churches were crumbled to pieces.
Among other villages seriously dam
aged are Vauvenargues, Venellees,
Pelissanne, Puy-Ste- Reparade and Ar
guilles.

Rognez were horribly mutilated.
There were evidences that several of
the victims, had lived for hours inn
prisoned by the debris before they
died.
The people rushed into the streets
when the first shock occurred, crying
out in terror. Many Of them return
ed to the rescue of their families.
At Rognez a family of four we're
buried in the ruins. Their cries
could be heard throughout the night,
but all were dead in the morning
when rescuing party reached them.
At Saint Cannat an old man and
his son were watching billiard
game. They were instantly killed.
The players escaped with slight
bruises. The chateau valmousse,
near Saint Caelnat, was badly damag-
ed. The communal chateau at Ar
guilles was split in two. The historic
village of Venregues was wrecked,
but no one was killed.

New York Especially Through
cable messages news reached New
York that the Cunard liner Slavonia.
bearing ITO cabin passengers and
800 passengers in the steerage.
stranded off Flores Island. in the
Azores group. After having steamed
successfully more than half way
across the Atlantic the vessel, which
left this port for Naples on June 8,
is almost a complete wreck but
thanks to the timely aid rendered by
North German Lloyd and Hamburg
American liners, which responded to
the Slavonia's appeals for aid by
wireless, every passenger, according
to best reports here, was taken off in
safety. These liners which aided the
Slavonia In her distress are the Prin-
zess Irene, of the North German
Lloyd, and the Hamburg-American
liner Batavia. Both were also bound
for Naples.
First reports that the Cunarder
had run aground reached here short
ly before o'clock in message to
the North German Lloyd from Cap
tain Petersen, of the Princess Irene,
saying:
Took ON board Princess Irene 10
cabin passengers from steamship Sla-
vonia at southwest of Flores Island
The 300 steerage passengers on Ba-
tavia. Slavonia probably total
wreck"
When the foregoing was received
the Cunard Line office here had had
on advices whatsoever and it heard
first of the accident through the
North German Lloyd.
Flores Island, off which the Sla-
vonia stranded, is the most westerly
OF the Azores group, with dangerous
PERCEPTIONS cliffs. The laundering
of a vessel there can be easily mag
med, but by good fortune the two
other liners, the Princess Irene and
the Batavia, which left N, York on
June and June 8. respectively, were
close by, and the laconic message Of
Captain Petersen would seem to indi-
cate there was no loss of life or in
jury to anyone. The transfer of pas
sengers was. no doubt, accomplished
with the usual thrills and dangers at
tendant to the shifting of nervous hui
ms beipe's at sea.
Inc Slavonia is twin-screw
steamship of 1906 gross tonnage;
is 510 feet long, with 50-foot beam
and is % feet deep. Her commander
is Captain A. G.. Dunning. The yes
sci is comparatively new, having
been built at Sunderland, England,
in 1908.
She was valued at $75O,O0O and
was partially insured. She was a
sister ship of the Ultonia Tonnowia
and Carpathia and was one of the
best liners in the Mediterranean
trade.

JAPANESE AGAIN
International Incident Was Started In
Honolulu.
A JAPANESE EDITOR ARRESTED.
Accused OF Conspiracy In Connec-
ton With The Plantation Labor
ers' Strike And OF Inciting To
Riot. He Complains To His Own
Government OF Violation OF The
Treaty Rights By The Seizure OF
His Private Papers.

Honolulu Especially. 49, The situa-
tion growing out of the indictment
by the grand jury of II leaders in
the strike of japanese plantation la
borers took an International turn.
when M. Negoro, of the editorial
stan of the Jill. a local Japanese
publication, who was taken into GUS
tody when the Office of that paper
was raided by the authorities, made
formal complaint to the Japanese
Foreign Office. at Toxic, of the yio-
lations of his treaty rights.
The alleged violation of his treaty
rights as Japanese subject, he sets
forth in his complaint, consisted in
the search of his Office and the seiz-
ure of his private papers and docu-
ments by the territorial authorities
without due process of law.
Territorial Sheriff William Henry
admits that the search and seizure
were made by force of arms, and
without search warrants or process
Of law, but contends that the papers
seized contained evidence of crimi-
nal purpose, and that the courts of
the territory are open to Negoro for
redress if he has been damaged.
Negoro was rearrested Monday
with Y. Sogo, Y. Tasaka and X.
Kawamura, of the editorial staff of
the Nippu and the Jill, on indict-
ments returned by grand jury,
charging them with "conspiring by
Indirect as we'll as sinister and I'M
lawful methods and means of intim-
tdation, melting to riot and threat
ened violence to prevent and hinder
the Honolulu, Oahu, Eva, Waialua
and Kahuku plantations from carry
ing on their business"
M. Negoro, together with Y Sogo,
z. Tasaka and K. Kawamura, the
last three named being members of
the editorial staff of the Nippu, an
ether Japanese paper which has TAX
en- prominent part in the strike
agitation, were admitted to bail at
81, $50 in each case. Pending the
furnishing of bonds or cash bail all
four are in JAIL
M Negoro is preparing to bring
court proceedings against the terri
tory for 100000 damages, claiming
that his rights as a Japanese subject
had been invaded when High Sheriff
William Henry raided the office Of
the Jill, of which Negoro is editor,
and seized alleged incendiary docu-
ments.
While no disturbance or disorder
Of any kind has occurred thus far,
the city is full of striking japanese
and the tension is SO great that or
ders we're issued for the full force
of police to remain at the police sta
! ton ready for any emergency.
The only incident of the day that
threatened a disturbance was the
chasing of a carrier of an extra"
of the Jose newspaper Shinpo, an
nouncing the arrest of the editors
of the Jill and the Nippu. The
Shinpo from the start has strongly
opposed the strike, and among the
papers seized in the raid upon the
office of the strike organs were let
tiers containing threats against the
life of its editor.

With Americans, Besieged In A
Church. Where The Fight RACES
For Three Hours-The Mutineers
Finally Put To Flight BY Another
Company OF Constabulary - Pur.
suit OF The AIutineers.
Manila Especially A portion of
the second company of native con-
stabulary stationed at Davao. in the
island of Mindanao. mutined on the
night of June and attacked the
company quarters, which they cap
tured after wounding one of the ma
tive officers.
After fight lasting two hours ON
the following day, in which one man
named Libbey was killed and fou-
others wounded. the mutineers took
to the mountains on the approach
of company of the constabulary
stationed at Mapi, which hurried to
the relief of the besieged Americans
and loyal natives.
Without any warning the mutt
neers suddenly attacked the quarters
at night and gained possession of
them before any resistance could be
offered by few native noncommis-
stoned officers and several loyal
members of the company.
Governor Walker, of the Davao
province, of which the city of Davao
is the capital. Immediately rallied
the Americans and such natives as
could be trusted in a large church
and preparations for defense were
hastily made during the night. Win
dows and doors were barred, loop
holes cut, food and water taken into
the building and everything made
ready to withstand siege.
At o'clock on the afternoon of
the 7th the mutineers began an at
tack on the church. For three hours
the fight ragged. A heavy fire was
directed against the church and it's
defenders, but Governor Walker and
his small force replied with such
vigor that they discouraged all at
tempts to storm the place.
The mutineers retired and evident
ly expected to await darkness under
cover until safer and more success
full attack could be made on the
church. In the meantime, however,
news of the mutiny had reached
Matt, town of considerable size,
As miles southeast of Davao. A COM
pany of constabulary stationed there
Immediately hurried to the relief of
Davao. Their approach. caused the
disloyal constabulary force to with
draw during the night Thirty ma
tive troopers escaped to the noun
tains with their arms and equip
ment.
With the receipt of the news of the
mutiny also came word that detach-
ments of the Twenty-third Infantry
have reached Davao and quickly sue
ceeded in restoring order. Several
columns of troops were Immediately
dispatched in pursuit of the murder
ers. 1t is believed here that the NIL
tiny was purely local, resulting from
difficulties over food supplies or the
care Of women members OF the fam
lily of the constabulary.
1t is thought to be confined to
members Of the one company at Da-
vac, and the fact that Deighboring
camps, also composed OF natives, bur
ried to the relief Of the besieged
troops and Americans at the place is
cited as proof of this. Insular of
ficials express complete faith in the
constabulary.

official and otherwise, concerning side

the use OF cars with doors in the mid

ready it is charged that the railroad
company is not giving the experiment
fair trial
If New York would approach the
subject of center, OF side, doors for
tunnel trains as confidently and cheer
fully as she has approached her side
doors, CT family entrances, on Sunday
mornings for many years, there would
he no trcuble. Other cities have side
doors in 1heir subways and elevated
cars and have had them for several
years. It Is true that the rules reIa-
tive TO their use are not enforced, and
that usually little attempt is made TO
enforce them, but in spite of that fact
the doors are useful and trains are
emptied in less time than they could
be with doors only at the ends.
The employees Of railway companies
in New York city arc not tactfuI in
