THREE GO DOWN IN LAUNCH.
Six Others Narrowly Escape When
Car Float Sinks Boat.

NEW YORK, Sept. 10.-Miss
Catharine Moore, Miss Agnes Green
and Stephen Weeks, all under rs
years of age, were drowned in the
North River today when the gasoline
launch Olga, hugging close to the
sheltering New Jersey shore to es-
cape a stiff northwest wind, went
down after colliding with a freight
car float backing out into the river
from a ferry slip. Six other pas
sengers were rescued, among them
Miss Nellie Higgins and Frank Wag-
ner, who had a hard fight for their
lives. Neither could swim and both
were carried under the float by the
tide. Wagner bound the girls arms
to her side with his left arm and,
kicking with his feet and showing
with his free hand, reached open
water before he was utterly exhaust
ed and was picked up by a tug.
Two others had similar ex-
periences, but in the end all who did
not go down Immediately were saved
by passing craft.

of it, as you know, has been of a
rather strenuous character. So, l
think, | ought to know him pretty
we'll. He did the work of several
men during his lifetime. He was one
who never left anything undone and
there are few men in this country
whose place it will be harder to fill.
1t is greatly to be regretted that Mr..
Hartman could not live to complete
all the work that he had set out to
do.
There should not be any serious
financial disturbances as the result of
his death. All his properties are
in good shape. He was not one who
would leave his affairs situated so
that the wolves could prey upon
them. The great railway systems he
created will run along as usual and
somehow his place will be filed, for
all of us die and yet the world wags
on.
Mr.. Hartman suffered intensely
duFing his illness.
He was beyond human aid. In
view of the suffering which he had
to undergo and which he faced so
bravely. l believe he is now happier.
The people of the United States are
not likely to forget the great work
he has accomplished for them"

spoke of Mr.. Hartman as a brilliant
meteor of the railroad world"
He said: MIR. Harriman's success
as is largely due to forcefulness, his
energy and his far-sightedness He
was bold, astute and energetic. He
was a genius of the constructive
order who lowered high among the
giants OF Wall street. So well in
dicates the great opportunity which
still exists in America as the rise of
Mr.. Hartman, son of a country
clergyman.
His death probably had been dis
counted. already on Wall street, as
his p"recarious condition has been we'll
understood. l do not believe any
other one man will ever again oc-
cupy the position Mr.. Hartman held.
Peculiar combinations of circum-
stances made possible this one-man
domination of the interstate railway
situation. This opportunity Is not
likely to come again, especially in
view of the demand for more and
more stringent federal laws"

height, and market on those classes
today is Is to 25 cents higher than
a week ago. Good killing grades
are steady to firm with a week ago,

Sheep and yearlings sold stronger

Rev. Father Phelan, being a cell
bate, falls upon a plan the most like
ly to remove the danger of race sui
eide if it could be tried. He proposes
what he calls family suffrage" un-
der which only the parents of child
rem could. vote, the voting power %
the family to increase with the num-
Der of children in it. Such a plan
would solve two problems, that of
woman suffrage and that of race
suicide, at one stroke. 1t will arouse
the opposition of the new woman,
who, generally speaking, does not con
template marriage as a part of citi-
zenship she wants, and least of all
maternity. The Phelan plan shows
evidence of a deep and subtle thought
in its preparation. At first glance it
might seem to have been inspired by
the Million Club. But in that close
reading it is sure to have before ac-
ceptance, it falls under the suspicion
of being a blow at the suffragettes.

For some reason the engine went dead
in midstream. Cranking failed to re-
vive It, After number of useless eff
forts, the farmer secured a team OF
mules, hitched them to the stubborn
auto and dragged the machine across
the creek and up the bank The driver
had left the clutch on at high speed
and from some unaccountable cause as
soon as the machine was on level road
the engine suddenly revived the ma

and struck the mules squarely in their
kicking apparatus There was some
thing doing Immediately thereafter
The mules started off full tilt with the
machine chugging after them; the
driver being occupied with the mules,
could not give the machine much at
tention The machine was soon going
at a great speed. striking the mules
on the heels again and again Both
team and machine became unmanage-
able; but the raules suddenly jumped
10 one side. bringing the machine
sharply around and causing it TO strike

rainy day the bell rang. and she found
at the door a tall. thin man. with a
dripping umbrella. who inquired for
the principal. She was just at the
hoidenish and disrespectfnl age. but
there was something about this visitor
which so impressed her that she led
him in as politely as ii he had been n
prince, placed a chair for him by the
fire. relieved him of his wet coat and
umbrella and after she had started to
leave the room came back to draw a
fire screen between him and the blaze

afterward expressed 10 her teacher
some surprise AT the nnwonted civil
ties she had felt impelled to show the
stranger. He answered: "Ah. that was

effect he has upon everybody. He is
so courteous himself that it calls out
the latent courtesy in all others"
