Martinsburg statesman-democrat. [volume] (Martinsburg, W. Va.) 1906-1921, 1909-12-03

In very interesting article in the
National Monthly on the subject of
ship subsidies Everett r. Wheeler arg
ues that our tariff system is RESPONSE
BILE for our inability to compete with
foreign nations in the building of ner-
chant vessels Ships can be built more
cheapIy III Great Briton than in the
United States, he says, but there is mo
duty in that country on the materials
that enter into their construction.
Even American steel can be bought
cheaper in England than in this coun-
try. A ship could be built on the Clyde
ofAmerican steel, at cost for mater
ial very much less than it would he on
the Delaware. Mr.. Wheeler mentions
an experiences Of his own, in which the
cost of repairing a damaged vessel at
Boston was higher than the cost to
build it IN Nova Scotia, but the differ
ence he says was in the cost of mate
rial.
While the nominal wages of ship
wrights are lower in Belfast than in
Philadelphia, the purchasing power Of
the British wage Is as high as the
American Mr.. Wheeler says. He be-
lieves, with Jacob Schoenhofi' and other
economists, that the best paid labor is
the cheapest in the end because it is
the most productive; but he also asserts
that by our system Of unnatural slim
illus we have created an artificial con-
dltion of apparent but not of real high
wages. The nominal rate has increas-
ed, but the purchasing power of wages
has steadily diminished.
"Because we have by our tariff sys-
tenn iu.peded our foreign irade,o writes
Mr.. Wheeler, land diminished the
purchasing power of the wages paid
our workmen, and increased the cost
of production only of ships but
of every thing else friend Of ship
subsidies would tax US further to de
velop another artificial industry and
injure nations that are already good
customers and would gladly trade
more with us if our system gave fair
play to foreign trade instead of dis
eliminating against 1t.
Mr.. Wheeler's plan for creating an
American merchant marine is TO
change our tariff system. Give our
shipbuilders Ian opportunity to buy
materials as cheaply as they can be
purchased abroad, and the greater
productiveness of Americas better
paid labor will compensate for the
nominal difference in labor cost in
favor of the foreign shipbuilder.

GAYNoR ACCEPTS HONOR.
Brief Speech Is Made in Taking Nom
ination for Mayor.

New York, October 7.-Justice William
j. Gaynor today accepted the democratic
nomination for mayor of Greater New
York. His brief speech in reply to the
notification committee served also as an
acceptance of the Endorsements of num-
Der of independent and semi-independent
organizations, whose representatives were
present.
Justice Gaynor made no attack on
Tammany Hall, which had been expected
in some quarters. The omission was
brought particularly to the public notice
through a statement issued early in the
day by William Randolph Hearst, who
had declared he would yield to the urg-
ing of his friends and run for mayor on
an Independent ticket unless Justice Gay
nor came out with denunciation of Tam
many. Many anti-Tammany democrats
who have pinned their faith to Justice
Gaynor regarded this challenge as one
which he would not refuse.
But there was no denunciation of any
body in Mr. GaynoTs speech, except mild
ly of Mr.. Barnard, the republican candi-
date for mayor, as a collector of cam
paign contributions.
II resign my present office" said Mr..
Gaynor, only to dedicate and devote the
next four years of my life to the service
of the people of New York. This great
city is made up of people of every race,
belief and way of thinking. Let us live
and act together without hostility, preJu-
dice or uncharitableness.
Mr.. Hearst. notified officially this aft
ernoon of the intention of his friends to
run him as an Independent mayoralty
candidate. said he would give their recon-
mendation his careful consideration and
would reply definitely within "a hours,
either announcing his candidacy or def1n-
itely declining to accept

DEBATERS IN NEAR
CLASH At CAPITAL
WEAkLEY WILLING To BACK
JUDGMENT ON JEFFERSON
SAYING 1T WOULD GIVE $500 MA
JORlTY FOR AMENDMENT.

Montgomery, October 7-CSpeclal.)-
Judge s. D. Weakley almost precipitated
a racket at his joint debate with En-
met O'Neal tonight when he read into a
statement of ONeal an assertion OF in
tent to elect governor and a legisla-
ture that will seek repeal or modifica-
ton of the liquor laws now on the books.
Colonel O'Neal had said that a legisa
ture would be chosen which would pass
laws without the visitation of paid law
yers and a governor who would restore
the constitutional order that the people
had established as a bulwark of liberty.
This was taken by the Judge to mean a
threat to overthrow the laws, but O'Neal
resented It, saying he had made such
threat. Weakley insisted that this was the
only right inference, and the crowd took
it up. He did say it, yelled some; HE
did notl' yelled others. "ONeal!" cried
out several. and others shouted. Go
on with your speech
In the meantime Colonel O'Neal had
grown earnest in his denial of the impu-
tation and demanded revision of it.
WealSley then said that the stenographers
notes would tell the story. and If they
did not bear him out he would revise his
words. With that the crowd quieted and
the judge spoke on. The crowd was
easily with ONeal, probably three to one.
Once Weakley had to stop because of
the hisses saying he had heard serpents
hiss before, and after O'Neal had closed
and he got up to close, the cries for
o'Neal were so loud he had to wait to
begin.
Judge Weakley backed his judgment on
Jefferson, saying it would give $500 ma
jority for the amendment and set an
example to the smaller counties. He said
the young men were for it, but the old
guard liners in another age were muchly
the other way. ONeal made this a point
against him, saying Weakley would put
the men who, in war and in peace, saved
the state, among useless back numbers"
a sentiment earnestly condemned by many
old men in the audience. While women
were invited to the meeting. few attended
and the courthouse could not by a great
deal, hold the people who tried to get in.

Awaiting them there was a telegram
from E. A. Faust of st. Louis. reading
"Unofficially, you are the winners of the

gratulations.

tudes The trip was an uneventful one
except that we circled over Glasgow, Mo,
three times on account of adverse cur

there.

sweep across Nebraska, but during the
night a breeze came up and caught us
and we began to cross Iowa like a streak
Tuesday night. When daylight came we
hardly knew where we were. We must
have travelled at a rate of 80 miles an
hour for a time.
when we got into the vicinity of Mile
Laos we thought it Lake Superior. We
were about 1000 feet UP and did not think
1t safe to cross. We shouted to farmer

ANGRY MOB FAILS
TO CATCH NEGRO

Waycross, Ca, October Mot knowing
that Dell Jones, a 12-year-old negro boy
charged with having attempted to GRIM
inally assault young white girl here last
night, had been spirited away. mob of
500 angry men and boys went to the jail
here tonight and demanded the prisoner
company of state militia attempted to
dispense the mob, and clash seemed
imminent when the sheriff informed the
leaders that Dell had been taken to Sa-
vannah, Fearing that the sheriff was at
tempting to deceive it, the mob did not
dispense until it's leaders had searched the
Jail and courthouse.
Last night the white girl asked the
negro boy to walk home with her, and as
they were passing a schoolhouse a storm
came up and they took refuge in the
building. They hardly entered the build
ing when the attempt was made. The
cries of the girl, however, frightened the
negro away, and he was soon captured.
Fearing that an attempt would be made to
lynch him. he was taken to Savannah for
safe-Eeeping early today.

IMPARTIAL JURY
FOR DR.. COOK

Copenhagen, October Capt. O. f.
Borschgrevink, the Antarctic explorer,
who wintered in the southern polar region
in 1900, and is about to undertake another
expedition there, has expressed his OPP
position to the proposed submission of Dr.
Cooks records to the University of
Copenhagen and to the committee of the
American Geographical society. In the
course of an interview Captain Borsch-
grevink declares that this procedure will
not prove satisfactory, because he con-
siders that both bodies are prepossessed
in favor of DR.. Cook. Captain Borsch-
grevink suggests that the Geograp hical
society of Geneva, as an unprecedented
body should be asked to settle the mat
ter.
A Greenland clergyman named Llld-
wiga who is n member of the Cape Yorke
mission, and ia acquainted with both DIR.
Cook and Commander Peary has opened
a campaign against the latter, reiterating
some old allegations rs to his i'll treat
ment OF the Eskimos Among other
charges he alleges that Commander Peary
once deserted band of women and chill
dren on the ice without food, because
they hindered the rapid advance of his
expedition.

EXPLORERS STUDY
NEW YORK CITY

New York, October AFTER months
within the Arctic circle the members of
Commander Pearys polar expedition
spent today exploring the vicinity Of lati-
tude 40 degrees and As minutes north, and
longitude "A west. They made many dis
coveries in and about New York, for few
of them had ever been sightseeing in a
large city before.
They found that it was not alone in the
frigid north that the reindeer, the musk
OK the polar bear, and other Arctic fauna
might be seem With but few exceptions
they found them all in New York, housed
in the same building with the boa con-
strictor and other tropical life-at the
American Museum of Natural History.
There were 10 men from the Roosevelt
in the party, incl udng Matt Henson, the
colored man who shared with Peary the
honors of the dash to the pole.
At the Geological Garden they discov-
cred real live polar bear and spent much
more time studying the old fellow at
closer range than would have been pleas .
ant in the north. From here a part OF
the crew returned to the Roosevelt while
the others remained ashore to see the
artificial midnight sun of Broadway. The
crew will disband tomorrow
At the American Museum of Natural
History tomorrow the sledges which
Peary used in the dash to the pole and
other exhibits of the journey will be
placed on view An entire wing will be
turned into 'Peary section"

AVIAT0RS SAIL
OYER ST. LOUIS

st. Louis, October 7.-Glenn H. Cur
tiss, who won international honors in
aviation al Rheims, made three aero
plane fights here today. One was more
than a quarter of a mile and the short
est of the three was about go yards
This was witnessed by throng of 100000
persons, which waited for hours in Forest
, park to see an aeroplane in action. Cur
tiss' last performance of the day was
cut short by his engine failing when
he was about % feet from the ground.
The machine glided to an irregular land
ing place and a rudder guy snapped
Efforts to mend it before darkness were
unavailing. The aviator said the ma
chine would be ready for flight tomor-
row.
In the flights today Curtiss used a
biplane with a 25-horsepower motor. Few
people witnessed the first two flights,
as the morning mist was still undis-
PEELED A stiff wind this afternoon de-
layed him until dusk.
George Francois Osmont, who is here
with the Farman biplane, which won the
endurance prize at Rheims, attempted
three times at dusk to satisfy the crowd
that he could fly. He circled the field
several times, but not fast enough to
enable him to leave the ground. His
disappointment was clearly expressed in
his face
The really successful navigators Of the
air were Roy Knabenshue, Lincoln
Beachey and Thomas NJ. Baldwin in dir
igibles. The last made an extended
flight when motor trouble overcome him
and he was forced to land In the crowd
His second flight, after repairs had been
made, was greeted with great applause.
Knabenshue, however. was the favor
lite with the crowd. He and Beachey
thrilled the spectators by mounting sim
ultaneously and flying about two miles
side by side. Knabenshue left Beachey's
airship in the rear when the latters mo-
tor became overheated. Knabenshue then
swept out over the park in a great cir
clue amid cheers.
1t was announced tonight that Curtiss
and Osmont will make flights tomorrow
and 1t is expected Robinson will make
another trial.
