Spanish Passenger Vessel Grounds on
Beach at Fire Island-People
Taken of.

New York, June 1.-The Spanish
steamer Antonio Lopez, with 526 pas
sengers and crew of 1876 men,
grounded on Fire island and lay on
the beach all night pounded by heavy
seas. Rockets sent up for assistance

ing until daylight.
At that time wrecking tugs reached
the stranded steamer, lifeboat was
launched through the surf and the
work of transferring the women and
children passengers to the wrecking
tugs was accomplished. The sea was
then too high to permit the passen-
gers to be landed.
The steamer appeared to be I'M
damaged and in no immediate danger,
as the sea was subsiding. Most of the
passengers were from Italian and
Spanish ports, including Naples,
Genoa and Cadiz, and they were bound
for Vera Cruz, where the steamer in
tended to proceed after touching at
New York.
The Lopez lay on a sandbar abolt
1000 feet off shore when the wreck
was discovered by the Point-o'Woods
life-saving station. Capt. Baker of
the life-saving crew was absent, but
his son took charge and soon assem-
bled a volunteer crew of fishermen.
Several attempts were made to
launch the lifeboat, but the surf was
running too high on the beach and
the vessel lay so far from the shore
that the life-savers were unable to
shoot line over her to set up the
breeches buoy apparatus.
A request was forwarded to New
York city for wrecking tugs and with
in a few hours two of them reached
the scene and passed lines to the
stranded steamer. They were unable
to move her, and the Lopez then
hoisted signals asking that small boats
be sent to take off the passengers,
who were frightened.
After daybreak the life-saving crew
got several surfboats launched and
the transfer of the passengers to the
wrecking tugs began. Women and
children were taken first and the men
followed. The rescue work pro-
ceeded rapidly. ,

Family at His Bedside.
Grouped about DR.. Hale's bedside
when he died were Mrs. Hale, his
wife; Philip l.. Hale, his son; Ellen.
his daughter, and the family ply
sician.
DR.. Hale was born in this city in
April, 1922, and by training, educa-
ton and tradition he represented
throughout the 81 years of his life the
spirit of the founders of the Mas
sachusetts Bay colony. He was grad
uated from Hazard in 1889. He was
actively connected with the Boston
Advertiser many years ago., and his
first charge as clergyman was a
church in Worcester. He was a
prolific writer and had for years been
allied with the principal philanthropic
movements of the city, state and ma
ton.
Senate Chaplain Since 1908.
DR.. Hale had been chaplain of the
United States senate since 1908. His
selection at that time to fill vacancy
was generally regarded as high
tribute to his accomplishments and
intellectual ability.
Since his appointment he has been
a very consistent attendant upon the
sessions of the senate, and his invoca-
tons at the opening of each days pro-
ceedings were so marked by eloquence
a keen appreciation of the events of
the day and warm sympathy with
the sufferings of humanity at large
that few of the senators failed to be
in their seats when the gavel fell.
Serious inroads first appeared in his
health about the beginning of the
present calendar year. He was rather

Taft Sends Coincidence.
Washington, June 1.-THE news of
the death of DR.. Hale reached the
senate at noon and was received with
general expressions of regret. No fig
ure had been more familiar about the
precincts of the senate than that of
the venerable chaplain, and no per-
son was more respected or beloved.
BY his unassuming manner and go.
NAL disposition he had become a gen.
eral favorite with the senators and
employees, while his distinction in the
world of letters and theology had
caused him to be generally sought out
by strangers.
DR.. Hale became chaplain of the
senate on the 14th of December, 1903.
He received his appointment through
Senator Frye, who was at the time
acting as vice-president. The selec-
ton was made at the instance of Sen
ator Hoar, who had been his lifelong
personal. friend.
President Taft, upon being informed
of DR.. Hale's death, sent telegram of
coincidence to Mrs. Hale.

THE MASSES IN EUROPE WORSE
OFF THAN THOSE IN AMERICA
Samuel Gompers Writes On Labor Phenomena Abroad. With an
Optimistic Outlook for the Future

copyrighted, 1909, by P. S. Ridsdale,
for Samuel Gompers.)
Washington, D. c., Nov. 9, 1909.
The masses in Europe are worse off
than the masses in America; Of that
general fact the emigration from
Europe would stand as one proof if
others were wanting. But. are the
than they were a decade ago?
The European workingmen may
have reasoned that the two widely diff
ferent economic levels at which he and
his American brother have been ac-
customed to live must be due. not
wholly to one or a few preponderating
influences, but to many factors, among
which some of the more important
could be affected for better or worse,
in his own particular country, by legis-
lation or even to a greater extent
through his own action. The deter
mining circumstances in social condi-
tons, he could argue, do not exist
through an unavoidable fatality; they
arise as sequences to causeS that are
subject to change through both indi-
vidual and social actions. At all
events. great masses of European
WOrkingmen have taken this view.
To find out the faults in social Or
carnations which form the immediate
asd remedial calSe of the deprivation
and suffering to which the property
less classes were subjected and to cor
rect those faults or to diminish their
injurious effects, has been the aim of
increasing groups of discriminating
and practical men everywhere both
among the European W-age-earners
and other classes of society. For the
period Of a generation these groups Of
men have been at work through their
deliberately chosen methods. Com
parison can. therefore, be made me-
tween the condition of the masses to-
day n Of twenty-five years ago, n
reports upon the results Of various eff
forts at social improvement be drawn
up in definite terms. Judgment may
also be passed in the light of the task
of social philosophy which teaches on
the one hand that things must be
worse before they can become BETTER"

Even then, however. her gay stunts at

she was sent to an insane asylum.
While in that institution her fortune
was lost through Encouragement. She
sought her release, declaring that she
had never been insane. but had been
confined through the Vaccinations of
a lawyer so that somebody else could

other examination she was declared
sane and released.
At the time she was sent to the asy-

Keep Cows Clean.

Some COWS are more clearly in
their habits than others. Some will
keep clean at all times If stall condi-
tons for cleanliness are possible,
while others will invariably lie down
in their own filth. Manure on the
cows udder and hind quarters is very
objectionable. 1t is unsightly, un-
sanitary and causes extra work in
grooming the animal There are sew
eral devices for preventing COW
from lying down in her own filth.
The most common one is the gutter
behind the animal for receiving the
droppings. Another plan is to place
a twoAby four plank across the stall
at the rear about even with the cows
hind feet. When she lies down she
will always lie in front of this board
where the droppings do not fall. The
floor should slope from front to back.
