SHIP WRECKED AND SIX DIE.
Steamer George Stone of Cleveland
Goes on Rocks at Point Pelee.

In the wreck of the steamship
George Stone of Cleveland on Point
Pelee, Ontario, Wednesday. upper Lake
Erie added a grewsome chapter to the
history of marine disasters on the
great lakes. Six lives were lost and
twelve were saved The tail end of
the recent gale at night was flashing a
hopelessly broken vessel that was not
insured and belonged to M. A. Bradley
of Cleveland
The six victims lost their lives when
Captain Paul Howell. Peter Daley of
Erie, Pa, passenger, and six mem
bers of the crew were capsized in the
surf while attempting to go ashore
The steamer left Ashtabula, Ohio,
Monday at $3.50 p. m. with load of
coal for Racine, Wis. She began to
feel the effect of the southwest gale
about $50 Monday evening and at
midnight she began desperate battle
for life. One man was sent aloft with
a bed sheet which he waved from the
forward mast. But though three or
four steamers came within sight. none
responded to the signals of distress.
Fire added to the dangers of the sit
uation a. this point, the pilot-house be-
ing burned to the deck before the blaze
1t is thought that one of the lamps
was overturned by the pounding of the
boat on the reef.

DIPLOMAT DIES IN LONDON.
w. I. Buchanan, Formerly Minister
to Panama, Found Senseless.

w. |. Buchanan, formerly United
covered in an unconscious condition
at midnight Saturday in Park Lane,
London, and removed to st. Georges
Hotel, where he died shortly after
ward. He was in evening dress, and
it is believed his death was due to an
apoplectic stroke Mr.. Buchanan ar
rived in London from Paris the pre-
vious Thursday, and called at the
American Embassy. He then seemed
in good health and spirits, and at no
time showed any symptoms OF apo
plexy.
Mr.. Buchanan is credited with be-
| ing responsible for the continuation OF
the anti-Castro regime in Venezuela.
He was. in London to assist in floating
bonds for Governor Gomez. Mr.. Blu
chanan has appeared in most every
| important issue between the United
| States aud Mexican and South Ameri-
can republics for the last fifteen years
He was the first United States Minis
ter to Panama, Minister to Argentine,
Brazil, special commissioner to Ven
ezuela, arbitrator between Chile and
Argentine, and performed half dozen
other diplomatic functions. He CO.
operated with Secretary Root in the
latter's EMISSION to the South Ameri-
can States. Mr.. Buchanan came into
notice more than twenty years ago as
the builder of the corn palace at the
Sioux City exposition.
When Castro's government was tot
tering Mr.. Buchanan was selected to
prop up the Gomez government. He
succeeded and also in bringing to a
settlement and arbitration the five
great claims of United States citizens
against Venezuela. Mr.. Buchanan was
also prominently connected with the
preliminary negotiations among the
Southern republics which led to the
peace conference of 1907 at Washing

SOUTH BEND WOMAN FREED.

Mrs. Lena B. Mason Quickly Cleared
in Attempted Murder Case.
Mrs. Leona B. Mason was found not
guilty in South Bend, Ind, of attempt
ing to murder John W. Talbot, SUI
preme President of the Order of Owls,
last March. The jury was ready to re-
ton of quick verdict the crowd
which packed the courtroom during
the closing arguments refused to leave
and every inch of space was occupied
when the jury announced that it had
agreed upon a verdict. The defendant
and her sisters smiled when they
heard the verdict. but there was no
demonstration either by them or by
the spectators.
Opinion is general that the story
told by Mrs Mason on the stand, in
which she charged Talbot with perse-
cution for six years, won the SYM
pathy of the jury. The defense was
emotional insanity. Charles A. Davey
in closing for the defense delivered a
two hour arraignment of Talbot and
his associates. He asked the jury for
an unqualified acquittal on the first
ballot, declaring that by so doing it
would place the stamp of disapproval
on such men as he asserted Talbot to
be

GOSSIP GIVES MURDER CLUE.
One Told Secret at Party and DR.
George A. Fritch Was Arrested.

Women's gossip is responsible for a
new development in the Mabelle Mill
man murder mystery in Detroit. 1t
was at a tea party in Michigan avenue
a woman said: Il know woman who
could tell whole lot about DR.. Fritch
if she wanted to-" She answered un-
der a pledge of darkest secrecy that
this woman was Mrs. Anthony Doemer
of 319 Michigan avenue.
Some one sent an anonymous letter
to Sheriff CASTOR and some one else
sent one to Captain Mcdonnell of the
police, and William Jansen, with an
eye to the $1,000 reward, gave Prose
cutor Van Zile direct hints. All this
caused the, reassembling of a special
grand jury.
Mrs. -Doemer was questioned and
gave information that led to the re-
arrest of DR.. George A Fritch and to
the detention of his chauffeur, Chris"
Leach. When the chauffeur got into
a cell he broke down and told about
carrying three bags of something to
the river near Ecorse and throwing
them in. 1t was near Ecorse that the
dismembered parts of Miss Millman's
body were found.

CRANE IS OUSTED.
Notified by Secretary Knox that His
Resignation Is Wanted.

Secretary of State Knox on Tuesday
sent a letter to Charts r. Crane, of
Chicago, who was in Washington, noti-
flying him that his resignation as
minister of the United States TO China
would be accepted. Mr.. Crane already
had advised the Secretary that he was
prepared to resign if the recent devel-
opments had made his further service
in that position embarrassing to the
department. Mr.. Knox has advised
President Taft of his action. Mr..
Cranes resignation will be addressed,
not to the State Department. but to
the President, who appointed him.
While the deepest secrecy guarded
the nature of the complaint against
Mr.. Crane, it was well understood that
he was accused of revealing confiden-
tial information and talking altogether
too much about the intimate affairs OF
the State Department.
Appointed by President Taft after
Stuyvesant Fish and other well-known
| men had declined the China post, Mr..
Crane had received final instructions
| and engaged state rooms on a steamer
sailing from San Francisco last
| Wednesday. Just before sailing he re-
! ceived telegram ordering him to re-
port to Secretary Knox in Washing
| ton.
Mr.. Crane arrived in Washington
Sunday. During the trip east he de-
| clared that his public statements
about Chinese affairs had been made
with the sanction of President Taft.
Immediately on arriving in Washing
ton he was closeted with Secretary
| Knox an hour. and learned the secret
OF his recall, which he declined to di-
vulge. President Taft received long
telegram Monday from Secretary
; Knox. On his decision further action
in Mr.. Cranes case was understood to
depend.
| Through unofficial sources the State
Department allowed 1t to be known
that one cause Of complaint against
Mr.. Crane was an article of = Chicago
newspaper of Sept. q, evidencing a
somewhat minute acquaintance with
affairs supposed to be known only by
officials in the State Department and
presumably by Mr.. Crane, relative to
the attitude of the United States gov
eminent toward the two treaties re-
Gently concluded between China and
Japan. That publication was highly
Objectionable to the Department OF
of State in that it disclosed the posi-
bility of protest on the part of the
United States against the consumma
ton of these treaties. Secretary Knox
and his associates in the department
held Minister Crane responsible fol
| those disclosures.

a pursuit followed in which million

faint from loss of blood, he resolved
upon last dash for liberty.

TAFT AND D|Az MEET
AMID GREAT SPLENDOR
Great Pomp and Ceremony Mark
Exchange of Courtesies on
Both Sides of Border.
THEY CONVERSE IN PRIVATE
Each Ruler Is Host to Accompanl-
ment of Booming Guns and
Clanking Of Sabers.

Pomp and pageantry, the boom OF
cannon, the blare of trumpets, the
clanking of sabers, the glitter of daz-
cling uniforms formed the set
ting Saturday for the long-awalted
meeting between President Taft and
President Porfirio DiaZ of Mexico, the
executive heads of Americas two
greatest republics.
1t was a dramatic moment in the
history of the two countries. In out
ward splendor it suggested the Field
of the Cloth of Gold, the greatest pa
geant of all history, when in 1920
Henry Will, the much-married mon
arch of England, met Francis l. OF
France in the Valley of Audrey.
In the actual handclasp of the two
executives, however, and in the ex-
change of greetings-in the actual ex-
pressions Of the good will and friend
ship between the two nations, for
which the outward glitter and glamour
was but the frame-simple but cor
dial informality reigned.
Two cities on the border, the long
bridge across the Rio Grande and Ell
Chamizal, strip of neutral territory,
formed the scene of this international
spectacle. The action alternated be-
tween Ell Paso, famous in the days OF
! the cid Santa Fe trail, and the quaint
little City of Ciudad Juarez, Mexico.
1t was the second time that Presi-
dent of the United States had gone
outside his country during his term of
Office, Theodore Roosevelt having set
the precedent when he stepped on the
soil of the Republic of Panama. 1t
ever left the boundaries of his coun-
try, and to do it special sanction had
to be granted by the Mexican Con-
gress. A special train was built to
convey the Mexican President to the
border, and for the time being Ciudad
Juarez became the Mexican capital.

Mexican national anthem, to the rat
tie of castanets by the trap drummers.
In Ciudad Juarez President Taft on
his two trips across the Rio Grande
rode through banks of cheering and
shouting Mexicans. who sang "Ameri
ca"
The actual meeting between the two
Presidents was witnessed by fewer
than a score of persons-only the per-
sonal stats of the two principals. AT
ter greetings were over, President
Taft and President Diaz withdrew in
to an inner room of the chamber of
commerce of Ell Paso, where the his
toric meeting occurred, and in a long
conference were attended only by
Governor Creel of the State of Chi
huahua, former ambassador to the
United States, who acted as interpre-
ter
At $50 o'clock President Taft
crossed the Rio Grande to Juarez for
the second time, and was guest of
honor at banquet which for splendor
of appointment was probably the most
notable state feast ever served on the
American continent

With the list of reported dead total
/ ing fifty-five, with scores injured, and
with the property loss reaching $1,000
600 or more, the havoc and destruc-
tion of the storm which swept middle
and west Tennessee, Alabama, Georgia
and portions of Arkansas and South
Carolina late Thursday afternoon and
the following night, grew hourly as re
ports were received from remote
points.
The storm was probably the worst
that has visited that section OF the
South in years, being intense in its de-
stroying fury and widespread in its
area Halves of counties were laid in
waste and ruin. Towns were destroy
ed and plantations were greatly dam
aged Apparently the storm broke over
middle and west Tennessee and pro-
ceeded in a southeasterly direction
across the State into Alabama and
Georgia, assuming the proportions OF
West Indian hurricane.
Fifteen persons were killed at Ham
burg, Tenn, where the National GENE
terry of the battlefield of Shiloh is
situated, by the tornado that passed
Thursday night The damage was
ment was destroyed The storm lev
eled Ha.mburg's ,storehouses and
dwellings and uprooted trees. The
hotel and a large store house at Pitts
burg Landing, on the Tennessee Riv-
er, few miles from Hamburg, were
destroyed. At least three persons
were killed, others were injured, and
several towns and villages demolish-
ed as the cyclonic storm swept through
Western Tennessee. Coming from the
southeast. the wind tore frail struc-
lures into bits and moved more sub
stantial buildings off the foundations.
Trees were uprooted, vegetation was
RACED, and numberless buildings were
unroofed
Denmark, Madison County. was
practically demolished, the added hor-
ror of fire following in the wake of
the storm. Eighteen of the more mod
ern buildings were torn off their foun-
dations and wrecked. while smaller
buildings were demolished. Denmark
had population of about $50 persons,
and was one of the oldest towns in
Tennessee OF the known fatalities
two occurred there. Albert Barnes
and his infant child were caught
among falling timbers of their home
and crushed to death.
Near Mulberry. in Lincoln County,
Thomas Helm was killed and Homer
Ashby and wife were injured. Near
Wartrace a negro settlement was
blown away. Dyersburg, Covington.
Stanton, and Buford Station are other
towns reporting minor damage. Along
the Western and Atlantic Railway
from Atlanta there is evidence of
heavy damage by wind and hail.
Unroofed houses, broken windows
and ruined trees and shrubbery consti-
ture the extent of damage left in the
wake of the wind and hail storm
which swept over Atlanta, Ca, and
surrounding country. The loss is $780,
900 to 100000. Thirty-five cattle and
several horses were killed at East
Lake, a suburb.

CHICAGO.

Dun's Review, published by r @.
Dun & Co, says:
Trading defaults exhibit some in
crease above the normal, but a high
daily average of payments through the
banks is in evidence and the indus
trial conditions testify to sustained
progress in production and distribu-
ton
New demands form notably large
aggregate for iron and steel. with
prices for foundry supplies firmer for
distant deliveries. Rolling mills have
ample contracts for steady day and
night work until next spring. Con-
tracts for structural materials and in
volving rather large tonnages are IN
der negotiation.
Stormy weather and the Columbus
holiday interrupted movements of com
modities, factory outputs. grain and
-four, and the markets for breadstuffs
were quieter than in previous weeks,
but live stock arrivals gained moder-
ately and there were larger shipments
of corn and provisions. The approach
ing close of lake navigation canses
more rush for vessels to move mine and
forest products. and the freight rate
for grain to Buffalo rose to the high
est this season.
Earnings of the Chicago steam
roads sustain favorable comparison
with former high gross, and there is
much installation of new rolling stock
and planning for track extensions and
other improved, facilities to meet ex-
banding demands of transportation.
Lower temperatures stimulated
wider activity in general merchandise
here and throughout the interior.
Stocks undergo seasonable reduction
in the leading retail lines, especially
of heavy clothing. blankets, woolens,
housewares and food products.

Financier's Debts Exceed $1,000, 900
Value of PROPERTY ONLY Half.

Presentation to Judge Cutting in the
Probate Court in Chicago of more than
$4,000 worth of claims against the
estate of the late James II. Eckels re-
vealed the insolvency of the estate of
the former Comptroller of the Curren-
cy, who, at the time of his death was
president of the Commercial National
Bank and one of the foremost finan-
ciers of the nation.
Claims totaling more than S750,000
had already been allowed against this
estate, and the. prospect of carrying
this total over the $1,000,O00 mark
seemed completely to wipe on the APP
proximate total of 100000 worth OF
assets shown by the inventory in the
estate. The original petition for the
appointment of administrators placed
the value of the estate at only $780,
600. BY far the largest portion of the
claims which have been filed in the
probate court is for money advanced
to the dead banker as personal loans,
and many of them recite in detail
stock and bond transactions in which
he was involved.

COINERS WORK IN CAPITAL.
Turning Out Bogus Coin Almost in
Shadow of Treasury.

Turning Out Bogus Coin Almost in
Shadow of Treasury
Counterfeiters. working almost in
the shadow of the treasury, have in
vaded certain districts of Washington,
d. c., with spurious coin. The counter
feits are of the 25-cent and 1O-cent
coinage patterned after the issue of
1908, but according to the secret-ser-
vice operatives they are poor imita-
lions. Chief Operator George +. Proc
tor has taken personal charge of the
investigation and several operatives
are seeking the source of the coinage.
So far as the authorities have discov-
cred, there are not many of the coun-
terfeits in circulation there, but there
are enough to convince the secret-ser-
vice people that the counterfeiters
have their headquarters in the ma
tional capital, and it is thought that
they may be putting out their product
elsewhere through confederates
