SHIP SINKS; 1856 DIE
NEAR M|NORCA REEFS
The Transatlantic Liner General
Chanzy Is Wrecked in the
Mediterranean.
ONLY ONE PERSON ESCAPES.
French Steamer Helpless in Worst
Storm in Years-No Amer
leans Aboard.

Driven helplessly from her course,
In one OF the widest storms that has
swept the Mediterranean Sea in forty
years, the French Transatlantic
steamship Company's steamer General
Chanzy crashed at full speed, in the
dead of night, on the treacherous reefs
near the Island of Minorca, and all
but one of the 157 souls on board per-
ished.
The sole survivor is an Algerian Gus
toms official, Marcel R.odei, who was
rescued by a fisherman and who lies
in the hospital at Ciutladela ravi1 as
result 81 the tortures through which
he passed and is unable to give an &C
count of the disaster.
In the ships company there were
eighty-seven passengers, of whom
thirty were in the first cabin The
crew numbered seventy 1t is not
thought that any Americans were on
board the liner. The ship was in COM
mand of Captain Cayol, one of the
most careful officers of the line. In
his long experience he had never be-
fore net with an accident. He had in
tended to retire from the service in
the near future.
The passengers of the Chanzy were
mostly French officers and officials re-
turning to their posts in Algeria, ac-
companied by their wives and chill
dren; few soldiers, some Italians
and Turks and one priest. The only
Anglo-Saxon names on the passenger
list were Green and Stakely. They
were members of an opera troupe Of
eleven which had been engaged to sing
at the Casino in Algiers
|. The Chanzy is total wreck Among
the victims was the celebrated Paris
ian music hall singer, Francis Dufor,
as well as other prominent music hall
favorites
The General Chanzy struck at 900
o'clock at night after Captain Cayol,
with all his experience, had been I'M
able to cope with the tempest of al
most unprecedented violence. Other
ships in the neighborhood had safely
ridden out the storm, but the Chanzy
FELL prey to the elements, was lifted
off her course through the Balearic
archipelago and brought up on the
coast of Minorea in the vicinity of
Ciudadela. Fishermen at daybreak
picked up Rodel clinging to piece of
wreckage.
The French consul at Ciudadela re-
ports that large numbers of bodies are
floating at sea, but that the storm con-
tinues, making impossible their re-
covery. The hull of the steamer is said
to bear evidence that an explosion,
probably of the boilers, occurred.

ROB AN ILLINOIS BANK
OF $500 AND ESCAPE
Burglars Blow Safe in Citizens
National at Chatsworth, ILL.,,
and Steal Cash.
BIND AND GAG TWO MEN
Explosions Ruin Structure, but Wake
No Citizens-Bandits Flee in
a Buggy.

The Citizens National bank Of
Chatsworth, H., was entered early the
other day by burglars, who fed with
$500 after blowing open the safe with
heavy charges of nitroglycerin.
Five unmasked men approached the
night policeman near the pumping
plant of the water works of Chats
worth soon after midnight, engaged
him in conversation, then overpowered,
bound and gagged him Afterward
they took him to a garage near the
Citizens bank, where they left him
under guard. A baker employed in a
nearby bakery was also bound, gagged
and placed under guard in the garage.
rhe Waterman and baker were the
only residents awake in the business
section at the time. After securing
these men four of the robbers took a
number of tools from the garage, went
to the bank and began working with
elaboration to get the money.
They blew the large outer door off the
safe, then the inner door. The first
explosion wrecked the interior of the
bank. After blowing open the second
tdoor the burglars helped themselves TO
the money inside, They took $500
in paper money and $4,000 in silver.
Completing their work in the bank,
the four men went back to the garage
and carried the baker to the bank and
laid him on the floor. One of their
number then drove up in a carriage,
the rest of the party entered the
vehicle and all departed.
No one in the village heard the ex-
plosions The burglary was not dis
covered by the authorities until 600
a. m. The bank carried $4,000 in burg
larry insurance The night policeman,
William Cahill, and the baker, Albert
Kerber were found half dead as the
result of being bound and gagged. Both
revived, however, soon after their res
cuers removed the bonds The robbers
were described by Cahill as desperate
looking One was tall and two were
short and heavy set.

Trade still maintains the quiet I'M
dertone previously noted, and not up-
usual, by the way, at this season or
the year, when buyers are gathering
at the leading markets in preparation
for the opening of the spring cam

Reports of buyers being numerous
but of buying being conservative come
largely from the leading northern and
central western markets. Fears of a
coal strike in the bituminous regions
have led to heavy buying by railroads
and manufacturers.

SCARCITY CAUSE OF
HIGH MEAT PRICES
Government Report Shows Live
Stock Receipts of 1909 SMALL
est Since 1904.
GREATEST DECLINE IN HOGS
Last Years Aggregate Meat Ship
ments from Chicago Is the Low
est in Five Years.

One contributing cause to the high
price of meat, according to a report
of the Department of Commerce and
Labor, is the fact that live stock re-
ceipts for the year 1909 at seven lead
ing interior markets of the United
States were the lowest since 1904. The
live stock receipts for the year 1909 in
these markets aggregated 39,545,725
head. The receip%s of hogs for the
last year fell off particularly. For each
of the four years previous to 1909 the
hog receipts had been in excess of
100000 head, totaling more than
100000 in 1908, falling to 1888, 641
last year.
Cattle receipts for 1909 in these mar
kets, 9,189,312, while comparing favor
ably with those of the previous year,
fell below the totals for the three years
before 1908. Sheep fell below those in
1905 to 1907, but compared favorably
with 1908. Receipts of hogs at the
Chicago market for 1909 show a de-
crease of 1,627,074, as compared with
the year before, or a decline of 10 per
cent. receipts at Kansas City decreased
IL per cent, receipts at Omaha II per
cent, at ST. Joseph % per cent, while
the decline at st. Louis was only A
per cent
While the total number of cattle re-
ceived at, these seven principal mar
kets was larger than the year before,
the 1909 cattle receipts at Chicago, O.
929,S05 head, fell below the 100000
mark for the first time since 1902.
The annual aggregate shipments of
packing house products from Chicago,
2,151, 663, 713 pounds, were below those
reported for any of the previous five
years, says the report. All the items
in the grand total with the exception
of picked beef and pork show large
declines, as compared with the figures
for the previous years.
The report also shows that grain re-
ceipts at fifteen of the principal mar
kets during 1909, 744,624,O6S bushels,
were lower than for any year since
1904

Hyde, husband of the millionaire's
niece, according to the verdict of the
coroner's jury in Independence, Mo.
Whether the drug was administered
with felonious intent the jury declared
it was unable to determine. The jury
was out but little more than an hour
The greater part of this time was de-
voted to discussing the case. But one
ballot was necessary to agree upon a
verdict.

Swope and of DIR. Frank Hall in the
inquest over the body of Colonel Swope
In independence, Mo-, came develop
ments in the mystery of the million
aires death more startling than any
facts heretofore produced.
Miss keller's detailed story OF the
last moments of Colonel Swope's life,
replete with features of happenings in
the Swope household, produced a seIsa-
ton. Miss Keller testified that i'm
mediately following the death of Colo
mel Thomas Moss Hunton, DR.. B. G.
Hyde asked her to use her influence
with Colonel Swope to have him APP
pointed administrator of the Swope es.
tate. Mr.. Hunton had been the adj
ministrator.
On the morning of Colonel Swope's
death, the nurse said, she gave him a
three-grain capsule, supposed to con-
tain dyspepsia medicine. This she did
at the direction of DR.. Hyde. Twenty
minutes later Colonel Swope was in a
CONFUSION. His death soon followed.
Five minutes after Colonel Swope's
death, according to the witness, DR..
Hyde appeared and with Attorney
John G. Paxton secured Colonel
Swope's will from his vest pocket.
eDr. Hektoen testified that one-sixth
of a grain of strychnine was found in
one-seventh part of Colonel Swope's
liver. He believed there might be a
grain in the entire organ. Half
grain would cause death.

Trade SAFE If LEGAL,
IS AS TAFT VIEWS IT
President in New York Speech Says
Policy Toward Corporations Is
Live and Let Live"
SEES PERIL ONLY IN HYsTERIA
Executive in Vehement Talk Says He
Will Safeguard Prosperity and
Fulfill G. o. P. Pledges.

President Taft, speaking &C the Lin
coin day celebration of the New York
Republican Club, made defense in detail
Of the policies of his administration
He declared business "hysteria," due to
agitation and fear of drastic action
against corporations in general, to be
unjustified, and throughout his talk
pleaded for the sinking of factional
differences toward the future of the
Republican party and the carrying out
of its pledges.
If the enforcement of the law is not
consistent with the present method of
carrying on business, then it does not
speak well for the present methods of
conducting business, and they must be
changed to conform to the law" de-
| clared the President, and his audience
at the banquet tables in the Waldorf
Astoria cheered the utterance. Gov
ernor Hughes, who shared the honors
OF the evening with the President, join
ed in the applause.
Mr.. Taft adhered to his purpose of
discussing platform pledges and how
they should be kept. 1t was at the
conclusion of detailed argument as
to how the Republican party is re-
deeming its pledges that he came to a
discussion of the antitrust law and
Wall street, on which his utterances
had been awaited with the greatest
interest. The President declared that
The administration would not foolish
ly run amuck in business and destroy
values and condolences just for the
pleasure of doing So" It's policy was
Live and let live"
mo one" he continued, has a mo-
tive as strong as the administration in
power to cultivate and strengthen bust
ness confidence and prosperity.
But there was no promise on the
part of the Republican party to change
the antitrust law except to strengthen
1t. Of course the government at Wash
ington can be counted on to enforce
the law in the way best calculated to
prevent a destruction of public conf
dence in business, but it must enforce
the law"
The President declared there were
signs which many construed to indi-
cate that the Republican majority in
Congress might be replaced by Dem
ocratic majority. The cause he assert
ed to be dissensions in the Republican
party arising out of differences of opin-
ion in regard to the rules in the House
and to the personnel of the leadership
in the Senate.
He declared there existed a growing
tendency to the assertion of individual
opinion and purpose at the expense Of
party discipline. The movement was
toward factionalism and small groups
All this, Mr.. Taft said, should be for
gotten in furtherance of the one great
aim-party success. To this end, he
asserted a campaign of education was
required.
81 am far from saying the Republi
can party is perfect" declared the
President, and then he gave a warning
that party insurgents should be pun
ished.
The high cost of living, Mr.. Taft as
serted, primarily was due to the Gin
crease in the measure of value of gold
and, in some measure, to combinations
