independence and race respect, a

cuss the situation.
A number of suggestions as to where
land should be purchased were offered.

the movement is not to establish the
entire negro community Of Colorado
upon this land. but to own land upon
which TO let homesteads.

FOR GERMANY

BY United Press Leased Spec al Wire.
HAMBURG. Sept e5.-The worlds FIRST
"superdreadnaught, he forerunner OF the
navy with which Germany hopes soon to
surpass the naval power OF England was
launched here to-day.
The keel Of the new warship was laid
nine months ago and the launching to-day
marks a new speed record In construction
and indicates the feverish aXiety Of the
German people TO see their navy In the
front rank
The launching was private and the ut
most secrecy was maintained In order that
certain vital details in the construction
might not be disclosed to the public.
The size and equipment of the warshp

the vessel viii be Of 1900 tons and viii be
furnished with the heaviest armament
ever seen on a warship
Germany is building FIVE other super

intention is to have four dreadnoughts and
six "superdreadnoughs' completed, which,
the German admiralty says viii make the
German navy superior to Ens'and's, which

THE BUSINESS OUTLOOK

The trade reviews see in the Iron
and steel business the most sncoUrag-
ing spot in the retrospect OF the week.
The crop outlook is good enough, they
say. 10 counteract the deterioration in
the cotton crop and the somewhat dis
couraging corn reports.
Dun's Review says:
While there are few bad or un-
certain spots in the business situation
they are not SUFFICIENT 10 change the
generally cheerful and in some re-
spects brilliant outlook. The deter
ioration in cotton crop conditions has
been followed by one OF the worst
tropical storms in over fifteen years,
which has indicted further damage
There has also been some frost report
ed H. the corn belt.
There is no such phenomenal trad
ing in the dry goods markets, where
indeed the Improvement is complicated
by tho high prices Of the raw pro
ducts. Yet the fact that bank clear.
ings outside New York are 1873 pei
cent. larger than in 1908. and in New
York 2s.2 and 1876 per cent. larger, re-
spectively. and that railroad earnings
l for two weeks of September are moi
only 97 per cent. better than In leo
but IL per cent. greater than In 1907
is clearly indicative OF the expanse o.
mercantile as well as industrial activi
/ ties most parts OF the country.

HALF MOON RAMS
THE CLERMONT

BY United Press Leased Special Wire.
NEW YORK, Sept. 25.-If the shade Of
Henry Hudson was permitted to~return to
New York again and occupy place on the
quarterback OF the replica Of the original
boat on which he once sailed up the mag
nificent Hudson river. he would have been
thrilled when the little wind jammor put
out Of commission the duplicate Of Rob-
ert Fulton's first steamboat. the Clermont.
and proved that Dutch timbers are strong
er than Yankee rails.
It was passing strange that the only ae-
cident Of any magnitude on the opening
day Of the seven-day celebration which
New York had planned TO commemorate
the progress Of Fulton and Hudson should
affect tho twin stars OF the performance,
the Half Moon and the Clermont. Both
were in collision Off the Staten Islan'
shores as they we're manouvering TO take
their positions at the head Of the five
miles Of craft OF ever description assem-
bcd In their honor and both were DAM
aged. but the American craft much the
worse. as instead of heading the line un-
der her own steam, as had been planned
she was forced to accept the aid Of a tow
so that hundreds of thousands of spocta.
tors who lined the harbor and river banks
might not be disappointed.
While the responsibility for the accident
has not been placed, it was due more &c
the elements than TO any human cause.
The Half Moon had number Of invited
guests on board including several wo
men and they screamed as the crash tool
place, causing many on the excursion fec
/ in the adjacent bay TO imagine the damage
| greater than IL was. When the boats were
pulled apart 1t was found that the cut
water Of the Half Moon had been iamme,
I in nearly TO the water line but as it q
chiefly ornamental, the sea boing qualitie
Of the craft were not impaired. The Cler
mont's rail for fifteen feet aft OF tn
paddle wheel on the port side was carrie'
away, she had lost her deck load and III
paddle box was dented and scraped. I
was decided, however that the parad
should proceed as planned and this after
noon the Half Moon and the Clermon
should be towed the entire length Of th'
route
