Since people so easily mistake
the fire signals when blown by
the power house whistle, in fact
very few remember them at all,
whichcauses delay and confusion,
would it not be a good idea to
purchase a fire whistle? 1t would
cost about sixty-fve dollars, we
are told, and at almost any time
would be worth that amount to
the people.

PASSENGERS
ENDANGERED
Vessel Went Aground on the
Rocks During an Intense
Fog

Hughtown, st. Nlary's sciliy Island,
April 1S.-The steamer Minnehaha Of
the Atlantic transport line. struck on
the submerged rocks near Bishops
Rock at 2 o'clock this morning. Her
passengers were removed In safety.
The vessel is badly damaged.
The Mnnehaha, Captain Layland,
from New York for London, was feel
ing her way cautiously towards the
English channel through a dense fog
that obscured the light on the Bishops
Rock and led her to the approach too
near the dangerous coast Of the
Sicily islands. When the Minnehaha
hit the rocks, she tore a big hole
amidship and this morning she had
twenty feet of water in her foreholds.
The sixty-six passengers, rudely
awakened, were considerably alarmed
for time but were treasured by the
officers, and so far as has been learn
ed here, suffered no harm. Scarcely
had the steamer climbed upon tho
rocks when urgent wireless messages
were being sent to Lloyd's signal sta
ton at the Lizard from which point
they were passed on to Falmouth.
The signals Of distress also were
picked up on the islands and In a
short time fishermen's boats had put
out to the wreck. The boats took of
the passengers and landed them at
Bryher.

THE SANE FOURTH
IDEA SPREADING
New England Will be Nearly
Noiseless and New York
Under Control

Boston. April 1S.-A safe and
sane celebration of the Fourth of
July seems to be in store for New
England in common with other sec
tions of the country.
City councils and town boards in q
number of cases have passed ordin-
ances restricting the use of explosives
while before the Massachusetts legis-
lature is bill of similar purpose.
Springfield. where the "safe and
sane" idea had its practical inception
seven years ago. will again hold an
ordinary and instructive observation.
In Boston, parades, a choral festival,
sports and fireworks displays are
planned. New Haven, Conn.,, Newport,
R. l.. Pawtucket, R. l., Montpelier, VT,
Melrose. Haverhill and Fitchburg also
have been won over to the reform
movement.
Governor Weeks of Connecticut is
urging day Of pleasure and profit
instead of day of unrest and horror
and Governor Fernald of Maine Is also
cooperating in the movement.

the order prohibiting the sale of fire
works at retail from June 10 to July
10. If the order is upheld to the letter
the greater city will be quiet where
ordinarily it is like battlefield.
Mrs. Isaac L. Rice of this city, presi-
dent of the Society for the Prevention
Of Unnecessary Noise, is largely re-
sponsible for the attempt to have the
coming Fourth of July devoted to
oratory and parades rather than to
the explosions Of gun powder. She
has enlisted twenty-three governors
and national association for a sane
observation of independence day and
is still engaged in promoting the
movement. Statistics show that the
total casualties in the United States
resulting from Fourth of July acci-
dents last year were 215. while there
were no less than 5.3O7 accidents.

TAFT APPROVES
In Favor Of Special Sunday fol
tuberculosis Study.

New York. April 1S.-President Taft
approves of making next Sunday.
April "a. tuberculosis Sunday" In
a letter received here today by Liv-
ingston F'arrand, executive secretary
of the National association for the
study and prevention of tuberculosis,
President Taft writes:
II sincerely hope that the move
ment, which you have inaugurated to
make Sunday, April "a a tuberculosis
Sunday, on which ministers are re-
Quested to call the attention of their
congregations to the Importance OF
the tuberculosis problem and to give
such simple information regarding it
as may be feasible may prove to be
successful. The amount that can be
done in saving human life by united
effort and in respect to such disease
as t"sr"culosis can hardly be exag-
gerated."
