plotted as the president of the corpora tion. For this. the charges aver, he agreed to accept s5OOO per year in salary and was given $5oO00 worth of stock in the concern.
 The charges characterize the National Utilities corporation as a fraudulent and swindling corporation, which is supposed to be interested in Pacific coast development and the owner of a projected railroad in Oregon known as the Astoria, Seaside and Tillamook Railroad company. The charges further declare that this is a paper railroad, having no physical ex- istence.
 Tn subsequent publications the North American printed names of men con- nected with the company, who. it is as- serted, are either convicted or uncon- victed swindlers. The newspaper also charged that MT. Tener, with several bus mess associates, sold controlling in- terest in the Security Life and Annuity company to man it declared to be a swindler
 MT Tener issued a long formal state ment denying the charges made by the North American. He admitted he had been connected with the National Public Utilities corporation about three months and added that he resigned and severed his connection with the company because of pressure of business in connection with his duties as a congressman. He also admitted receiving s50,000 in stock, which he returned. He added that he be- lIeved and still believes the company to be legitimate.

DIX CONTINUES TO
 DENY CHARGES

Albany. N. Y, October 24-Repeating with renewed emphasis his previous as sertion that he is not and never has been connected directly or indirectly with any wallpaper trust as alleged by Colonel Roosevelt, John A. Dix, democratic nom- inee for governor, in a statement tonight. demands from the former President "the apology which one gentleman owes to another for even involuntary misrepre- sentation." -
 While in Albany today in attendance at the funeral of David B. Hill,s MT. Dix was shown report of colonel Roosevelt s speech at Ithaca, in which the colonel de- clared that for IS months MT. Dix was a director of one of the companies in the so-calIed wall paper trust notwithstand- ing the statement of the democratic nom- inee last Saturday to the contrary.
 Following a conference Of democratic leaders after the funeral, MT Dix issued his denial of the coloners assertions He states that he never had any connection with the Standard Wall Paper company, which was a defendant in an action be- fore the supreme court of the United States. The defendant he said, went out of business in 1903 and the second Stand ard Wall Paper company, of which MT. Dix was a director, organized and bought among other properties the plants and manufactured goods of the old Standard company.
 ..This whole business,'' says MT. Dix, "affords another example of the reckless manner in which the former President of the United States misuses the great standing which he acquired by his cleo ton to the presidency to misrepresent those who oppose him in any way"

ATLANTIC COAST LINE
 TRAIN IS WRECKED

Jacksonville, Fla, October 24-The At lantic Coast Lines Jacksonville-Tampa train. northbound, ran into an open draw at McGirt's creek, five miles south os Jacksonville at $50 o'clock tonight and the engine, and tender toppled over into the creek A mail car followed, but was caught on the rear trucks and is hanging over the creek.
 The engineer, Charlie Ellis of this city, went down with the engine and his body has not been recovered. The negro fire man, Brown, jumped on the tender as the tender fell and was rescued by men in a rowboat Outside of bad scare the passengers are safe.
 It is believed that the drawbridge was partially open and the force of the en- zine forced it around The fact that no passengers were injured is attributable to the slow speed of the train in crossing the bridge.

SCATHING ATTACK
 UPON ROOSEVELT

] Utica, N. Y, October 24.-Alton B.. Parker and pr. stryker of Hamilton cof- lege were the principal speakers at a mass meeting here tonight under the di- rection of the democratic association of Utica.
 The greatest interest was manifested in the remarks of President Stryker, a life long republican and loyal supporter of Vice President Sherman, who is a recently announced himself for Dix, the democratic candidate for governor He took occasion tonight to devote nearly all of his address to ridicue of Colonel Roosevelt.
 President Stryker said: q resent Roose- welt as national or state issue. I have had enough of him. He Is mighty hunter but he cannot have my pelt. He Is an attitudinizer and uses the Amer ican people as his looking glass. His record shows great lack of ethical per spectiye and Fundamental disregard of law His own sweet will suffices for him. He is a great musician. He plays fine old tune, I am It. His text is always his own infallibility. He regards himself as an irreproachable example of immaculate rectitude. tt
 +"In New York he is one thing and in Kansas another. In Massachusetts he embraces Lodge in Indiana he puts his arms around Beveridge. In New York he talks against bosses and in Gin cinnati he kisses them. One of the most curious things is that he does not realize how funny he is. There may be one who thinks he would be good Diaz, but few of us would make good Mexicans. He has been preaching disparagement of the supreme court, the final bulwark of our liberty. But it is not deep disease from which we have been suffering, 1t is only a rash Our complexion is clearing. We are on the road to recovery

large as Texas and is without railway, towns or villages. To find the two men in the northern regions would be like searching for a needle in haystack
 It would be far easier for the two men to locate an Indian camp or a prospecting party. The National Continental railway commission has had no word from the men. Little credence was given at official headquarters to a report from Quebec today that the missing men had been located and were on their way to that city. Essential details were lacking and 1t was pointed out that if the aero nauts were proceeding to Quebec from the wilds of that province, they would neces- sarily travel via the National Trans Con tinental railway.

Home Rule Is Gaining

London, October A.-The idea of home rule all around as the first step toward the realization of federal empire ap- pears likely to become a working policy. The fact that the Times has just pub lshed a series of articles advocating a compromise, urging that the situation is quite changed since the bloody eighties and that the unionists might now ~fth dignity acquiesce in. although they could not initiate policy of home rule, shows how unionist hostility toward home rule is waning.

 The rescue party will take along a months supply of provisions and a light collapsible canoe and they expect to find favorable currents which will carry them into the wilderness and make possible the location of the Americas crew.
 The Aero club officials are now work ing on the theory that Hawley and Post are to be found in the coun- try contiguous to James Bay and north of Lake Superior region. The mes sages from Thompsonville Mich, which indicate that they passed that point Tuesday going due north may result in the abandonment of the search to the northeast, especially beyond kis- klsink, Que.
 Lewis Spindler, the Aero clubs rep resentative, who Is due to arrive in Toronto tonight. has been ordered by wire to proceed to Chapleau, Ont, where he will organize searching par ties along the Canadian Pacific railroad.
 Won Puhl began tonight to get to- gether his equipment for the journey. The St. Louis IT, which will be used. Is regarded one of the luckiest bal looms owned by the aero club of St. Louis. Von Puhl said tonight his pur- pose would be to fly as low as pos sible over 300 miles of country north of Lake Superior, where signals may be seen or heard by the missing aero nauts. As soon as Hawley and Post have been rescued the race commit tee of the Aero club of America will determine the distance made by the respective entrants in the balloon race. accepting the figures of the war de- pertinent to guide them in naming the winners.

Ottawa, Ont, October 24-An organ ized effort to locate Allan Hawley and Au- gustus Post, crew of the missing balloon, America II, was inaugurated here to- night when Edmund F. Stratton of New York, a member of the Aero club of America, arrived and at once opened a bureau to conduct inquiries throughout eastern Canada, in some part of which the unreported aerostat is believed to have taken ground.
 T propose to conduct as comprehen- give and thorough an inquiry as can be expeditiously made" said MT. Stratton, and as soon as the drift of the America II is ascertained l will send out we'll equipped search and relief party from the nearest available point. Other expe- ditions for more extensive exploration then will be despatched from several points.
 "Otter and Chapleau, Ont, have been designated as two of the bases of oper- ntions and there will be at least one in eastern Quebec. All will be directed from the headquarters in this city
 What I propose to do in Ottawa now IS to compile route map and if pos sible establish the definite drift of the missing balloon.' said Mir Stratton.
