DISASTER At THE NEW STATE
CAPITOL BUILDING At
MADISON.
ONE MAN-tS CRUSHED TO DEATH
Foreman Of Contractors Drops With
Stone Distance Of 70 Feet.-HeIp-
or, Sensing the Impending Crash,
Leaps Back to Safety.

Madison, Wis.,, Oct. 26.-Danfel Log
an, Chicago, was crushed to death in
the collapse OF part of the new Wis
con state capitol building here.
The death was most sudden. Three
hundred tons of Vermont granite fell
70 feet and Logan was In the mass.
The. body was not mangled but tho
head was SO terribly crushed that the
mans life ceased the instant of the
impact of the mass Of falling masonry
upon the concrete terrace below.
Frank Bliss, Logan's helper in tho
laying the great granite blocks,
sensed the impending crash, Ieaped
back from the ledge which fell, his
desperate Jump for life sending him
through a window, but he was unhurt
and moment later was able to cry
out to the few spectators that the
foreman, Logan, had fallen.
e. J. Damon Of Madison, who was
operating the hosting engine that was
lifting the massive chunks Of stone.
saw the mass fall, as did also John ].
Jennings, a capitol policeman.
They say that Logan did not seem
to know he was falling, giving no cry
nor making any movement as though
to grasp for support.
A four-ton block Of granite was fall
ing beneath him and he seemed to
keep about foot above the mass.
He had been bending over, head out
ward over the ledge, using small
pinch bar in setting block, and he
seemed to fall in this position.
When the mass smashed down upon
the concrete terrace abutment 70 feet
below, Logan's head struck the stone
and was crushed.
The men were setting massive
blocks Of white granite, weighing as,
heavy as six tons each. The west fac
ade of the new state house had great
Corinthian columns, at the top of the
colorado being q projecting friezs
and cornice and yet above this Is a
great mass of solid blocks, which, af-
ter being set, form the pediment.
The opinion of Bliss is that the
great block was set too far out, SO
that it's four tons of weight was too
much for the supporting cornice. Log
an was trying to work the block in
place between two other stones, but
the fit was too tight. there was q bind
ing and the blocks on either side
crowded out trifle, and then Bliss
heard cracking and felt the mass
moving beneath his feet. Logan went
down to his death. Mrs. Logan ar.
rived last night from Chicago.
Architect Lew F. Porter estimated
the damage at about $35 900 to $4,000.

on account of ice, and as the provi.
s1ons would not last another year.
they started Sept. 6, for Advent Bay,
on the west coast of Spitzbergen. The
distance to the nearest point of land
was ninety miles, and there was
open water for about twenty miles.
This meant that they had to drag the,,
huge boat with the complete equip.
ment, across rough ice fields for a
distance of seventy miles. The load
became so heavy that one article after
another was thrown away, and finally
even the underwear had to 20. It
took six days to make this trip. Dur
Ing the last twenty-four hours thew
were soaked by rain and sleet. When
they reached land all of them went
to sleep. Fortunately they found some
driftwood, so they could build fire.
Their only food at this place was seal
flesh, blubber, and black coffee. Twen-
ty miles farther west they found an
old house full of snow. They took a
rest of two days at this place. They
next crossed the country to Storfiord.
which was open. 1t was now an easy
matter to sail to Agent Bay, on the
other side of the ford. Here they
left their boat, which they had dragged
TOR a distance Of 1876 miles. Again
they took days rest and killed some
reindeer, the skins of which they made
into sleeping bags. They continued
their journey across the amountains
to Sassen Bay, on the west coast of
Spitzbergen. This took several days,
By this time they were exhausted, and
they left everything except one ration
of venison for each man. Finally they
arrived at Advent Bay, where the
Waterman of the English coal com
pany cared for them as best he could.
They came just in, time to embark on
the William Munroe, the steamer of
the American coal company, which
took them to Tromso. +

Sailors Said to Save More Money
~ Than Any Other Class Despite
Tradition Of Profliqacy.

WashingtOn.-Though Jack ashore"
may have acquired the reputation Of
being the model spendthrift, the latest
statistics of the navy department
show him to be q thrifty person when
it comes down to year in and year
out steadiness.
/ Jacks pay, though not large, is de-
cidedly regular, and then again Jack
has long periods when he has no op-
portunity to spend at all. If, when
he does get a bit of shore leave, he
manages to make things hum some
what faster than the average man in
the street and often rolls back to the
anchorage in a state of financial de-
preston equal to the treasury of
South American republic, he. ten to
one. has not spent it all, for, accord
ing to the allotment system tn vogue
IN the navy to-day, the bluejacket has
the privilege of alloting any portion
of his pay to whomsoever he may
designate.
The pamphlet recently published by
Assistant Paymaster Jere Maupin, u.
S. NJ, shows % per cent of the sail
ors are putting something by. The
allotment privilege only applies to
the men serving on the ships. The
sailors on shore duty are presumed
to take care Of such matters for
themselves.
It has been ascertained that EN-.
ployes of corporations generally save
less than 20 per cent of their salaries.
In fact the savings are probably near.
er ten per cent. on an average.

of his doubters, it was expected that
the North Pole controversy would be

expectation is probably shattered by a

Peary is speeding to his summer home,
saying that he is preparing an indict-
ment of thirty counts against DR.. Cook
and that he will publish these cate

When Commander Peary declared
his intention of retiring to his home
at Eagle Island, Maine, he said that
for the present he would not discuss
DR.. Cooks claim, but would wait until
the Brooklyn explorer had made pub

pect to have this matter ready for
publication before two months have
passed, 1T was believed that Peary
would not produce evedinece to sup
port his charges until then. But the
dispatch now coming from Maine says
that Peary's principal object in hurry

pare his bill of Indictment against Dr.
Cook. In making this statement Mr.
Peary is quoted as saying that he is

Nashville, Tenn, Sept. 23.-The
presence of Secretary of War Dickin-
son as the speaker on topics affecting
the interests of the north and south,
attracted a great crowd to the state
fair grounds here today.
General Frederick Grant. who is
also a guest of the fair, reviewed a
uniformed regiment of Confederate
soldiers in front of the grandstand,
himself appearing in the full uniform
of a general of the United States
army.
Secretary Dickinson began his ad-
dress by highly praising the men of
the south who, he said, had taken
Tennessee was especially noted In
this respect having given Andrew
Jackson to the country The same
standard of unimpeachable honor set
by these men is, he said, being lived
up to by President Taft.

president Taft has attained to his
high office through a novitiate I'M
surpassed by any of his predecessors.
Even as a child he began the train
ing for the high place which he was
to fill and while youth the future
president under his distinguished
father breathed the mosphere of
large affairs, came into familiar con-
tact with the great men of that day,
and received the inspiration which
urged him on to cultivate his talents
and broaden his faculties for further
