The Howard Reaches Scene in
Time to Save Nineteen Des-

BOSTON, Mass, July z5.-Having

long on board their sinking steamer,
Capt. Ernest Anderson and eighteen
men Of the steamer Kenosha, from

here on the Merchants ana Miners

quiring about her probable arrival, when
a reporter informed him If her sinking.
All hands on the steamer were saved,
after tremendous exertion. ana taken
aboard the lightShip.
Encountered Severe Gale.
According 10 the story told by Cap
tain Anderson, he ran into a severe gale
last Friday morning. The vessel was
apparently IN poor condition to with
stand such a grueling of the elements,
for within a few hours the skipper
learned that she was taking in water
forward. The two steam pumps were
set to work without delay, but the
water constant gained on them.
The gale increased notlceably from
the southeast, and toward night Cap
tain Anderson Wes aware of the des-
perate straits of the vessel and his men.
All Of Friday night they held on. how
ever, hoping against hope that the wind
might change and at least give them a
chance to fight for the ship But the
conditions didn't improve. and at day
break, after getting his bearings again,
the skipper determined to abandon the
ship. They didn't do it a moment too
soon. for they waited till the last mo-
ment and then were almost carried
down in the suction. At $50, when the
craft had drifted 10 a point about six
miles south by west OF the Fire Island
lightship she went down by the head
and then breaking up almost in a mo-
ment WAS carried beneath the waves in
about twenty fathoms of water.

weekday rattle of threshlng ma

day, and that in turn has merged
into the purple loveliness and
drowsy tinklings of an evening Of
peace. Then you and I who make
up the world, as We know 1t, are
far away-far, far behind the inky
trees that fringe the horizon.
Yet that little village has had
for years a story to tell to your
world and mine. 1t is not hap

it that we must think of, you and 1,

ENTHUSIASTS RUIN

lmpulsive Countrymen Interrupt
His Breakfast by Their
Demonstrations.

DOVER, July 25.-M. Louis
Bleriot, after his wonderful fight
to Dover from Les Barraaues,
three miles back of Calais, sat
down to a breakfast of ham and
eggs at the Lord Warden Hotel
here, just as calmly as if he had
been out for a short walk.
When the Munsey News Service
correspondent made his way
through the crowded breakfast
room to Bleriot's table there was
a small but excited group of COM
patriots expressing their enthusi-
asm over the fight in a character
istic French Fashion.
"Vive NJ. Bleriot" and "Vive la
France" they were shouting. and
each took turns in kissing and en-
bracing the triumphant aviator.
NJ. Bleriot was hungry, and he
wanted to eat. but his friends in
sisted upon the continuous recep-
tion with the result that three or
ders Of Dover Ham and eggs were
swept from the table and under
his feet while the hugging and
kissing continued.

This time a side door opened
and a pretty and stylishly dressed
young woman rushed into the

Of the aviator. The woman was
Bieriot's wife, and she had follow

Sobbingly she cried: Louis

She seemed wrought up into a

CONFEREES BALK
OVER FREE HIDES
After Long Session This
Morning, End Is NOT
in Sight.
BY JOHN SNURE.

After a session Of three hours this
morning, the conferees on the tariff bill
took a recess at / o'clock without reach
ing an agreement. It was decided not to
hold an afternoon session, but TO con-
vene again at s O'Clock tonight
The conferees this morning discussed
hides, lumber and q number of other
matters. but apparently made little prog
ress. The indications are stronger than
ever that hides viii be put on the free
list and that corresponding reductions
viii be made in the duties on shoes and
leather
Speaker Cannon, accompanied by
Asher Kinds, attended the conference
this morning. The meaning of their
presence was taken To be that the con-
ferees intended to put hides on the free
list and want to know what can be
done in the way Of the passage Of
joint resolution which will authorize
reductions IN the duties on shoes and
leather goods below the points fixed
by the House.
Still Protesting.
The Western Senators who are op-
posed to free hides are still protesting
vigorously against removing the duty.
The lumber and wood pulp schedules
are still giving the cOnferees trouble,
and while they were discussed this
morning no progress was made.
on leaving the conference room some
of the conferees indicated that they
were .pessimistic as to any early agree
ment. Senator Penrose of Pennsylvania
said he had quit predicting when the
conference report would be made. Not
al of the conferees. however, took a
gloomy view of the situation. and some
OF them predicted an agreement before
adjournment tonight.
President Taft viii see Chairman
iE the course OF the afternoon and Will
Fight On Free Hides.
The battle ragged around the hides
schedule again today. The President IS
insistent on free hides and downward
revision in leather and shoes. 1t seems
likely he viii have his way. but the
Senators from the West, especially those
of the Rocky mountain region. like War
rem and Carter, and Smoot, are m an
ugly temper over it. They have gone
so fan as to threaten TO vLte against
the bill if il carries free hides, hut there
is much skepticism about the Capitol
as TO whether they viii carry ont their
threat Their records have always been
distinguished for party regularity, and

MOTHER WON'T LET
SUTTON CASE DROP
Sister of Lieutenant, How
ever, Satisfied If Name Is
Cleared of Suicide.
By THEODORE H. TILLER.

ANNAPOLIS, July 25-Wfth both now
working on a common cause to clear
Lieut. James \. Sutton's name Of its
suicide stain. II developed today that
the mother and sister OF the victim Of
the now famous Academy campus fight,

to pursue when the second inquiry board
shall render its verdict. Incidentally 1t
may be forecast that the mothers de-
sires viii prevail and that some civil
court. regardless Of the nature Of the
boards verdict, will probe Jimmie"
Sutton's death.
Mrs. Parker said today that she would
be satisfied with a reversal Of the sui
eide verdict Of the first board. Mrs
Sutton wants more and probably will
fight on. Mrs. Parker, confident that

Another SmeIter.

Before June l, a shelter of loo tons daily capacity will be in operation at Rogers Springs, thirty miles due north of Phoenix, says an exchange
 This shelter is to be constructed by the Rogers Springs Smelling con- pany, d corporation of Indianapolis capitalists, and will reduce the ores from 300 claims in a radius of fifteen miles. Over fifty mine owners in the Cave Creek, Winifred Tip Top, Hun lapai and other district will be direct ly benefited.
 Machinery for the smelter will ar rive in Phoenix in about thirty days, and all supplies will be drawn direct ly from there, provided a bridge across the Arizona canal on the North Seventh street road and about two miles of grade on tEe other side are constructed immediately. A petition for the bridge and grade is now be- fore the supervisors for action.
 About eighteen months ago James Marian sold the Rogers Springs group to the Rogers SD pings Mining com pany, q corporation formed in In- diana polls for the purpose of purchas- ing the property. Development work has been going forward ever since.

Pima Youth in Role of Highwayman

D. D. Phillips with his family were driving home from Stafford about dusk on Thursday evening last, when they passed a man riding a small mule. The rider, overloaded with ginger and six-shooters, promptly fired three shots at MT. Phillips rig, two of which hit the carriage.
 The attacked man drove into Peter Andersan's place and procured gun. Again on his way home he passed the man and the mule. Of course he in- formed the officers at Thatcher of the coming desperado, who procured fire arms and awaited his arrival.
 The man and the mule arrived soon and when the officer stepped up to arrest him, he said, 'I'm not the fel- low at all, I'm a stranger"
 It developed that he was a Pima boy, and after being relieved of his six-shooter and S1O, which the officers kept as security for his appearance before the justice of the peace After this he rode peacefully towards home, and had hardly got out of sight, when Officer McGonnigle, of Stafford, came on his trail to arrest him for shooting up Stafford.

H. 3. Penney Dies at Tucson.

Hon. Herbert E. Penney, q promi- nent republican politician, well known throughout the territory, and cashier of the Consolidated National bank of Tucson, was found dead in his bed last week, having diedduring the night of heart disease.
 MT. Penney did not feel well, and after leaving the bank went directly to the Owls clubhouse, where he had lived for a long time. A physician was called, but the doctor did not think his ailment was serious, and advised him to get a good nights rest. Accordingly he retired early.
 Two friends, M. r. Freeman and MT. Goldsmith, expected Mr. Penney to take breakfast with them. When he. did not appear on time, MT. Free man investigated and found him dead in bed.
 The deceased was 50 years of age and had been a resident of Tucson for many years. He always took great interest in politics and was chairman of the republican territorial central committee during the Cooper cam paign, two years ago. It was as a fnancier, however, that he was better known in Tucson. He made an envi- able record as cashier of the Consoli- dated bank.
 MT. Penney leaves behind him his mother, Mrs. w. C. Dayis, who resides in Tucson, and an uncle who was re- gently in Tucson on q short visit.

Condemnation Proceedings to be Started.

"As long as residents along the line of the proposed extension of the Gila Valley, Globe & Northern railway to the Miami district persist in demand ing $500 an acre for land worth $50, work on this extension will of neces- sity proceed slowly. The company will not be held up and if it is neces- sary to institute condemnation pro- ceedings, it will be some time before anything is done"
 Such was the substance of a state ment made last week by Gibson Tay- Tor, legal epresentative for Epes Randolph, who was Tn Globe looking up legal matters in connection with the proposed line.
 "This company broached the matter of the proposed extensions in good faith," continued MT. Taylor, with the expectation that residents along the proposed right of way would CO., operate with the company and be content with a reasonable price for their land. Not simply what it was worth, for we are willing to allow for damages, but at least not d prohibit tive figure.
 ''In many instances we have met with a feeling just the reverse of what we had expected and have been ham, pered great deal.
 "When the people realize that this railway will not consent to be held up, the work will go ahead.
 Several other projects for this part of the country were being figured on, but the opposition which is being en- countered has put damper on our plans and I can say nothing of what III y be done along this line iE the future. .''-Globe Belt.
