AWAIT RESCUE ALL DAY
COAL SCHOONER CROWLEY
WRECKED ON A REEF.
Error of Helmsman Cause of the
Disaster-Saved by Bravery of
Fishing Smack's Crew.

EDGARTOWN, Mass, January a.
The schooner Mertie b. Crowley, one OF
the few six-masters flying the American
flag, lies u total wreck on the reefs
three miles off the southeast end of
Martha's Vineyard Island. She was
bound from Baltimore for Boston with
coal.
To the bravery of the skipper. Levi
Jackson, and his crew of four men of
the Edgartown fishing smack Priscilla
is due the rescue of the fifteen persons
aboard the Crowley, Capt. Haskell, Mrs
Haskell and thirteen members Of the
crew.
Due to Helmsman's Error.
The wreck of the Crowley was due to
the mistake of the man at the wheel in
making out Edgartown light as that on
Block Island. The schooner had been
hove to for thirty hours Friday and
Saturday during the. storm. The haze
made observations largely a matter Of
guesswork.
When the vessel struck, early yester-
day morning, the small boats were swept
overheard. Mrs. Haskell, awakened by
her husband, had barely time to snatch
few articles of clothing, and with the
assistance of Capt. Haskell. climbed the
forerigging, where she was dashed to the
eros trees. A pair of seaman's rubber
boots with the captains winter hat and
overcoat protected her.
Waited All Day Long.
All day long everybody chung to the
rigging while the seas battered the
great vessel to fragments
Though the wreck was known here,
the sturdy fishing smacks Of Ddgartown
could make no Roadway against the ele-
ments. Capt Levi jackson tried re-
peatedly to push his little power smack
Priscilla through the great breakers, but
combined sails and steam could not do it
until late yesterday afternoon. Then,
luffed by the schooner Viking, he put her
safely through the breakers and reached
the wreck

United States Senator Clarence Don
Clark Of Wyoming made the appointment,

Smith would have the first call on the

STIR OVER SANITATION.
Conditions in Navy Department to
Be Improved.

The Secretary of the Navy has under
consideration recommendations made by
Passed Assistant Surgeon Z. II. II. Old,
U. S. N, who has been investigating
sanitary conditions in the Navy Depart
ment building. Surgeon Old says that
the rooms in the department are over
crowded, and that there should be an
arrangement by which there can be ex-
pansion Of some of the bureaus. This
will require considerable shift of off,
GERS and clerks and additional transfers
to the Mills building annex. Surgeon
Old finds the prevailing situation more
serious than was the case eight years
ago. when the Mills building was first ac-
quired.
1t is proposed to have a special force
of cleaners to keep the rooms in better
sanitary condition than now prevails.

Always Source of Trouble.

The entrance of a negro into the West
Point Corps Of Cadets has always been
the occasion for trouble. Even those Of
ficers most in sympathy with the negro
have always frowned upon such appoint
ments, for the moment that a negro en-
ters the Military Academy he goes into
coventry there to stay until he is
graduated or dismissed for deficiency in
conduct or studies.
A negro cadet is never hazed. He
is ostracized, and lives, SO far as social
and personal relations with the other
cadets are concerned, being absolutely
apart, unrecognized except In the per-
Torrance of the strictest military duties
Every minute it is brought home to him
that his presence in the corps is I'M
welcome.
Smith has already stood his physical
examination. and the result was the
splendid percentage of 81. He is now
taking the mental examination, and the
papers in that examination will prob
ably be received at West Point this week.
If his papers are all right the West
Point board will so declare.

Reports of Agents Regarding II

In connection with prosecutions for
trespass on public lands and illegal entry

emphasizing the assertion that final adj
verse reports from agents have been re-
ceived during the past twelve months
upon cases involving more than 10000
acres within the United States, and that
much of this Is coal land" The state
ment also goes to show that there were
frauds in the Interior Department prior
to the present departmental administra-
ton.
1T appears from these reports" con-
tinues the statement, referring directly to
the final reports from agents. that dur
ing the last eight years coal lands within
the United States have been obtained by
fraud to the extent of more than 10000
acres.
These are usually the best Of the coal
lands, and are easily worth $1O,OOO,OOO. Ii

ANOTHER COUNTY
PETITIONED FOR

A petition asking that an election
be called on the qeustion of the
creation of what is to be termed
Otis county out of Harvey, Malheur
and Baker counties was filed yester-
day afternoon with the secretary of
state.
This is the second petition of this
kind that has been filed with the
secretary of state, the preceding one
being Nesmith county which it is
proposed to carve out of Douglas and
Lane counties. 1t is understood that
a third petition, one asking for the
creation of Williams county, will be
filed soon. Those back of this
movement propose to carve the new
county out of Douglas and Lane, and
the territory is so defined that it
laps over that which is to be en-
braced in Nesmith county.
1t is contended by those favoring
the movement which has for its OBJ
ject the creation of Nesmith county
that the Williams county campaign
is inaugurated for the purpose of
confusing the voters as to Nesmith
county, and bringing about the de-
feat of both.
1t is also understood that several
communities in eastern Oregon have
dreams of new counties and county
seats, and additional offices, and
additional salaries, and that it is not
improbable that before the time ex-
pires for the filing of petitions, that
several will come from that territory.

FARM FOR EVERY

Million Dollar Corporation win Organize Scientific Colonies
--Hadey Heads SCheme-WHI Equip 40-ACre Home
SteadS Around Central TraCt-TermS Easy

The association aims to purchase the
land, improve and stock it and equip
the colonist with farm implements.
The colonist will differ from no
other tiller Of the soil, except that
he will owe for all the land, inn
provements and equipment.
1t is proposed to exempt the new
conner from any payment the first
year. Thereafter he is to wipe out
his indebtedness in installments of
10 per cent a year.
An expert agriculturist is to have
charge of the 16O-acre parent farm
in the capacity of instructor for his
unit. Canneries, saw mills, cream
cries and kindred interests are to be
established at the unit center for the
be eft of colonists. The director is
to cooperate with the producer in
obtaining the best market prices.
Educational features for the children
are proposed, always with the object
of ultimately fitting them to take up
the burden of their parents.
Curran and Tucker OriginatOrs.
Larger credit is offered the en-
bryo farmer, and conditions are to
be established which will reduce the
chances of failure and make success
reasonably sure. Eventually, it is
believed, new type of citizenship
will be developed, and in the end the
cost of the necessities of life ma
terially reduced.
Commissioner Curran has consid-
cred colonization plan for several
years. Mr.. Tucker, who, following
his resignation from the Minnesota
Agricultural College, engaged in the
investment business in st Louis,
likewise was working to the same
end. Both realized the present op-
perfume to launch the Farm for
Every Man" movement. Mr.. Tucker
recently outlined his plan to Gov,
Hadley. The latter placed him in
touch with Commissioner Curran.
The result of their collaboration is
the draft of the scheme which met
with the governors approval, the
plan for the National Farm Homes
Association.
The plan is not entirely new. 1t
was tried with much success in Eng
land by Baron Hirsch. The British
Government met with encouragement
in a similar venture in Canada. Gift
ford Pinchot, former chief forester,
is at present said to be investigating
the workings of like colonization
ran and Tucker expect the hearty in
doTsement of Roosevelt.
