Brave and Energetic Efforts of Life
Savers From Cape Henlopen
Successful

DELAWARE BREAKWATER, Del,
February 1O.-Driven before terrific gale
of wind that blew at the rate of sixty
miles an hour, the four-masted schooner
Sarah w. Lawrence. from Newport News
with a cargo of coal for Boston, was to-
Chicken shoals off Cape Henlopen. Del,
and is now pounding to pieces. The crew
of nine men and the captains wife were
rescued in the nick of time by the Cape
Henlopen life-savers after thrilling ex-
perience. The schooner broke in two
after the ten persons had been taken off.
They were landed at Lewes, Del.
The schooner was discovered ashore by
the Cape Henlopen lookout, who had been
keeping a sharp watch because of the
heavy sea kicked up by the terrific Wind
from the south.
The government wireless system at the
cape was brought into service, and calls
were sent up and down the coast from
Sandy Hook to Norfolk for revenue cut
tiers In the meantime the Delaware
breakwater was notified and tug was
started off for the shoals. The sea was
running so high that it was Impossible
for the life savers alone to go 10 the as
sjstance of the stranded vessel. and the
tug was called upon to tow the life savers
in a launch out to the schooner.
The Cape Henlopen men risked their
lives in putting their boat through the
pounding surf, but they reached the
schooner and just as the hull of the
Lawrence became submerged. The crew
with the lone woman was huddled on the
fore house of the sunken vessel
With no abatement in the gale and with
the waves curling over the upper works
of the sunken schooner the life-savers put
off from the tug in a elf-bailing life boat
and began the work of rescue. The sea
was running SO high that the hardy
rescuers were unable TO get close to the
wrecked crew and life preservers and
ropes were brought into use.
The captains wife was the first taken
off, and il took several hours to effect
the rescue of the others from the schoon-
er. The woman and the crew were made
comfortable on the tug and were landed
at Lewes to await word from the owners
of the schooner.

California Governor Fears Proposed
Tariff on Raw Thread Would
Close San Quentin
Mill

SACRAMENTO, July 1S.-The state
board of prison directors, reinforced
by Governor Gillett, today sent tele-
grams to Senators Perkins and Flint
and Congressman Needham of the
state, and to President Taft, Senator
Aldrich, Speaker Cannon and Chairman
Payne of the house ways and means
committee, protesting against the i'm
position of a duty of IL cents per
pound on raw jute and asking them
to use their influence to eliminate the
item from the tariff bill,
The reasons given are that there is
no necessity for the duty, inasmuch as
jute is not grown here that the state
Of California owns and operates a jute
mill at the San quentin prison, where
from 800 to 1000 convicts are employed,
and that the prison mill will have to
go out of business and the farmer
will have to pay the advanced price
on all bags.
Governor Gillett tonight dispatched
the following telegram to the White
House:
president Taft. Washington: CALI
fornia has 100000 invested in a jute
mill for making bags in San Quentin
prison. This is our only means OF
keeping the prisoners employed. The
proposed tariff of IL cents per pound
on jute will make it impossible to com
pete with foreign product and will
cause our mill to close and the prison
ers will be idle. If this happens, farm
ers will have to pay nearly 80 per cent
more for bags than at the present
prices. If jute cannot be retained on
the free list, can an exception be made
in favor of states when purchased for
use in state Institutions?

NEW YORK, July 1S.-Ten persons
We're drowned this afternoon two OF
them little girls, when the excursion
sloop RoXana, carrying twenty-five
passengers, was capsized by sudden
squall in lower New York bay
Capt. Samuelson Of the RoXana and
the twelve survivors were rescued
under great difficulties i'm a rough and
choppy sea by the tug Lamont.
The RoXana was chartered at Ulmer
beach, Brooklyn, by party of Swedes
from Brooklyn for a sail across the bay
to Midland beach, Staten Island, and
back. The trip over was made without
mishap and all hands went ashore To
make merry. Beer was served and
some survivors could give but hazy
account of the accident
All afternoon there was a stiff breeze
from the southwest, which left a heavy
cross sea. Toward 4 o'clock the RoXana
slipped into a squall and before the
captain could slack away the boat was
bottom up and the water was spotted
with bobbing heads. Soon the RoXana
vanished, and the struggling passen-
gers began to follow her.
Fortunately the tug Lamont was
keeping a sharp lookout Capt. Keyes
saw the sloOp keel over Instantly he
headed for the SPOT but before he
could reach the FoXana three more
passengers had gone down Life buOys
We're thrown to those still atloat, and
after a few minutes of brisk and
anxious work all in sight were rescued.

MANUFACTURERS ASSOCIATION
ASKS TAX ON ALL INCOMES

NEW YORK. July l8,-The directors
of the National Association of Manu-
facturers today issued the following
statement, addressed to the Congress
of the United States:
1.-THE National Association of Man
ufacturers indorses any reasonable
measure to secure by tax the requisite
money, which, with the tariff duties.
shall be sufficient to support this gov
ernment.
1--WE deplore the effort of demagOgues
to segregate American citizens and
make government supporters of one
class and charity recipients of another.
Our best grade workmen do not relish
attempts to make them recipients of
any other mans contributions.
1--WE therefore recommend, if neces-
sary for income purposes, the enact
ment Of measures providing a just and
equitable tax on all citizens. AS an
illustration, we suggest one-eighth of
/ per cent on all incomes This would
require 70 cents from the man who re.
ceives $500 a year and $3.50 from the
man who receives a million a year-a
condition making for upright manhood
and avoiding the present effort to
make supporters of one class and sup
plicants of another"

MORO OUTLAW
KEEPS PLEDGE
BANDIT CHIEF KILLS CLOSE TO
ONE HUNDRED PERSONS
Early Vow of Desperate Is Kept, and
but Few Murders Are Lack

Oath
CBy Associated Press)

MANILA, July 19.-When Jijiri the
Moro bandit chief who was killed with
all his followers in a desperate battle
with troops and constabulary near Pa
tian, on Jolo island, July 5, began his
career as an outlaw. he swore he
would kill 100 men before he died.
The record of the murders he COM
mitted is not complete as yet, but 1t
Is stated in a dispatch received today
from Zamboanga that the bandit near
ly fulfilled his pledge, as the partial
record at hand shows that he took the
lives of close to 100 persons.
All Women but One Slain
From the latest reports of the fight,
all but one of the several women in
the cave where the outlaws made their
last stand, were wives of Jijiri. But
one of the women escaped. She was
the wife of one of Jijiri's followers and
accepted the safe conduct offered by
the Americans before the assault on the
cave began.
Lieutenant Joseph A. Baer of the
Sixth cavalry is agreed by all who
saw the fight to have been the hero
of the battle. He was armed with a
Winchester pump gun, with which he
did great execution. His timely res
cue of Lieutenant Arthur H, Wilson,
who was struggling with Jijiri and
already had been desperately wounded
when Baer shot and killed the bandit,
and his certain aim, which accounted
for three other outlaws, are the talk
of army circles.
Baer killed four of the eight bandits

WILL WORK FOR UNION OF
SOUTH AFRICAN COLONIES
FORMER CAPE PREMIER VISITS
LONDON
Says People of Country Have Agreed
Unanimously on Bill Being Con-
sidered by English Gov
ernment

LONDON, July 1S.-Dr. Jameson, who
has come to this country in connection
with the passing of the South African
union bill, arrived at Southampton a
few days since. The former Cape
premier expects to remain in London
until this has been accomplished. Then
he will go to Carlsbad before returning
to the cape in September.
DR. jameson appeared in excellent
health Speaking Of South African un-
ion he said:
The union is that of the people of
South Africa, and South Africa natur-
ally expects that there shall be no ma
terial alterations in the provisions of a
bill they have unanimously agreed to-
The spirit of COnciliation and compro-
mise shown in the union discussions has
been most marked, and it has been a
surprise even to those people concerned
to find how far we could go in the
direction of real unification, as COM
pared with the federal system already
established in Canada and Australia.
IN South Africa we regard with con-
fidence the passage of our bill through
the imperial parliament. The only
trouble seems to be likely to arise from
the extreme negrophilists, who prob
ably honestly desire to benefit the ma
tives, but by agitation are really doing
great deal of harm to the native
people.
This was specially shown by the
only division taken at the last meeting
of the Cape parliament, when Mr..
Schreiner brought forward an amend
ment for altering the clause dealing
with people of European descent and
when only he himself and one other
voted in the division, the rest of the
house voting for the union bill as it
stands.
Especially significant is this when
it occurs in the Cape colony, which all
through the union negotiations has
fought for it's policy of equal rights for
the educated natives. 1t shows how
hopeless an agitation for further con
cession really is. The mandate for the
union is from the people, who are com
mencing to look for the enormous bene-
fits which the whole country will reap
from it. The people expect these bene-
fits, and what they expect they will try
to realize"

TO LEARN VALUE
OF BURNT TREES
FOREST SERVICE WILL MAKE
EXPERIMENTS
TESTS TO BE MADE IN WOODS OF
THE NORTH
To Determine How Long After Timber
Fire Wood Can Be Used to
Commercial Advan-
tage

WASHINGTON, July 1S.-How long
will timber remain commercially val
liable after it has been swept by a
well as the federal government, are
much interested i'm obtaining this in
formation, and the government has
just begun an investigation of large
number of fire areas in oregon and
Washington In order to determine if
possible the length of time which will
elapse after forest fire before the
timber deteriorates to such condition
as to decrease its commercial value.
The agencies which cause timber to
decay and encourage the attack OF
wood borers are undoubtedly influ-
enced to a greater or less degree by
the intensity of the original fire and
the climatic conditions and altitude of
the burned areas.
All the information in connection
with this investigation will be OBJ
tanned first hand by the forest service,
either from government timber land
or from private holdings, where log
ging operations are under way.
To Determine Strength
In this connection the forest service
has also undertaken an investigation
to determine the relative strength OF
green and fire-killed timber The ma
terial which is to be tested is being
sawed at the mill of the Eastern and
Western Lumber company of Port
land, oregon, where 1t will be surfaced
to exact sizes and then transported to
Seattle, where tests will be made in
connection with the forest service ex-
hibit at the A. Y. p. exposition.
The fire-killed trees which are to
yield material for these tests were Sc
lected by the representatives, of the
forest service on the holdings of the
Clarke County Timber company of
Portland, oregon, near Yacolt, Wash
ington. This timber was burned over
seven years ago, and represents fairly
well the average of burned timber
found in the Pacific northwest. The
logs, which vary from three to four
feet in diameter, were sawed into So
foot lengths. These are being manu-
featured into 16-foot floor joists and
bridge stringers.
The results of these tests are being
anticipated with great interest by
forest service engineers and by the
lumbermen of the northwest, because
they are expected to disproye the
opinion generally held regarding the
strength of fire-killed timber.

(By Associated PressD

BERLIN, July 1S.-Four persons were
killed, more than twenty severely in
tured and a dozen others slightly in
jured as the result of the explosion Of a
motorcycle and a fire which followed
it during a. cycle race a the old Bo-
tanic gardens today.
Thousands of spectators had gathered
around the track. The first race was
over, and some of the best cyclists, in
cluding Stellbrink, Cotent, Kyser and
Stoll, were out for the second race.
After a few laps a tire of a pacemak-
er's motorcycle burst and the rider lost
control.
The benzine exploded in a burst of
flame and the machine leaped into the
air and hurled itself against the bar
rier which broke down.
The rider was thrown off and fell
against other competitors, who were
pitched to the track, several being Sc
verely injured.
Crashes Into Crowd
So terrific was the speed of the cycle
that il continued on its course after
the explosion, crashing into the public
stand, hurting spectators right and left
and setting on fire several women's
summer dresses.
Two women were instantly killed ana
their bodies, saturated with flaming
benZine, were burned to cinders. The
wooden stand caught fire and the
flames flashed in the faces of bystand-
ers, who with clothing ablaze rushed
about shrieking with pain and fear un-
til cool-headed onlookers threw them
to the ground and smothered the
flames.
A panic ensued. in which a great
number of persons, including children.
were badly trampled. Two of the in
jured men died later, and the hospital
surgeons reported several in a hopeless
condition.
