the most disastrous of theatrical sea-

WIRELESS FOR SAFETY.


NEW YORK, May 1.-The fash
ing Of the &C. Q. D." message late
last night prevented the steamer New
Hampshire bound for Stonington,
Conn, from going on the rocks os
Long Island Sound. When the New
Hampshire's propeller struck a log
and broke off blade, the vessel be.
came helpless and there was consider
able excitement among. the 100 pas
sengers. By order Of Captain F. H.
Avery, the wireless operator sent a
&C. Q, D." message for quick help.
The message was picked up at the
Brooklyn Navy Yard and from there
communication was sent to Oak Point
off which the New Hampshire report
ed itself as helpless. From there two
transfer boats of the New Haven
Railroad were sent to the steamers
assistance. The two relief boats

MASTERPIECES N THE
FRENCH SALON
WHAT THE CRITICS HAVE TO
SAY OF THE 1909
EXHIBIT

PARIS. May Although it con-
tains nothing distinctly original in a
aesthetic conception, the salon OF
French artists just inaugurated, ranks
higher both in marbles and paintings
than any similar exhibition in the last
FIVE years.
Nevertheless the French critics
point to the magnificent retrospective
exhibit of Albert Pierre Rene Maig-
mans works to prove that the living
artists are falling behind the masters
of the last generations. In the por-
trait section Seymour Thomas, with
an astonishingly expressive picture OF
Dr.. Osler, and Walter Macewn's
miss Phyllis, which is strongly re-
miniscent OF whistler, divides the
American honors, A portrait Of
President Taft, hung in the salon II
honor is regarded as too physical.
Among the American landscapes
especially noticeable is c. NJ Young's
"Jenkin Town Winter Scene" deli
cate snow scene by Vaughan Trow'
bridge; w, f, Scho6eld's "Thaw" in
which he uses Monet's effects; Lionel
Waldens Sea pieces and, Aston
Knights water effects.
Oscar Miller shows an exquisite in
terior--a woman dreaming at wind
entitled Castles in Spain"
+, A. Bridgeman has scene in a
Morocco Harem, Simon Veder Of
New York a striking stampede Of
orses; Jules Bayer q rebuilding OF
San Francisco" and Aloysius o.
Kelly "a religious procession in Brit
any" H, S. Hubbell OF Chicago shows
two canvasses strong in color and ex-
ecution which the jury honored by
hanging on the line Of the salon II
honor.
Among other pictures attracting at
tention are works Of Catheleen Nc
Eney of New York and Mrs. B,
Blumenschein and Gertrude S. Grey,
of San Francisco, Among the mar
bles one of the most striking groups
lis Carvin's "Muse-Aviation which the
Department Of Sarthe intends to pre-
sent to Orville and Wilbur Wright
the American aeronauts. Carvin also
shows busts OF the Wright brothers,
Richard F. Brooks exhibits two ex'
cellent busts, one Of w, 2, Ward Of
Seattle, and the other of Roger Lud'
low for the Capitol at Hartford. A
statue Of General Lew Wallace, by
Andrew O'Connor, is noticeable.

TOO MUCH BROWNSVILLE.

If there is any one thing current
that the American people are thread
bare with. it is the much noted
Brownsville affair 1t seems that the
more we investigate the mystery the
further we find ourselves from the
truth
If President Roosevelt had not sat
isfed himself of the guilt of the Ne
gro soldiers before he dismissed them
without honor the country had hoped
that the congressional investigation
ard other inquiries instituted by his
eXcellency, had removed every rea-
sonable doubt from his mind, and that
he was morally certain of the guilt
of the men. that his order had so Sc
verely degraded 1t was the earnest
hope of a patient and long suffering
rublc that it be saved from any more
Brownsville affection.
We have had it in the army, the
courts, congress and politics, and the
people are weary of matter that be
comes more of a riddle every time
you touch it.
The gravest doubt of the truth or
justice of the Presidents finding in
the premises, is the doubt cast upon
lis decision by his continued search
fer the proof he should have had be-
fore he dismissed the soldiers. This
last investigation has succeeded in
doing at least one thing ii has taken
tie people hack to the point where
they were the morning after the
shoot up" Who did it?
It is not the genius Of American
jurisprudence to first determine a
case or execute victim, and then
"fter determination or execution hunt
down the proof to establishsthe guilt
or innocence of the accused. The
Independent has always maintained
that the President in Diminishing the
soldiers. acted clearly within the pur.
view of his constitutional prerogative
oud as he had the conscience to see
the truth as the evidence before him
