BOAT GOES DOWN
no TIME TO MAN LIFE BOATS
OR HARDLY TIME TO PUT
ON LIFE PRESERVERS.
HERO OF WIRELESS DIES
Pere Marquette Carferry Bound for
Milwaukee Sinks. Distress Sig
nails Bring Assistance to Sinking
Graft. Captain Kitty Dead.

Ludington.- the half frozen,
almost exhausted survivors of the
shipwreck of the Pere Marquette car
ferry No. Is were picked up from the
waters of Lake Michigan and the
official list of those on board had been
checked it was found that twenty
eight had gone to their death and
thirty-three had been preserved by the
rescue work of the crew of the sister
boat, ferry No. II.
The survivors, the bodies and flot-
sam of the wreck were scattered over
the surface of the water for five
miles in all directions from the point
where the big vessel was engulfed.
Six of the dead were recovered by
the sailors engaged in the rescue
work.
Twenty other bodies are still in the
grip of the lake.
1t was pitiful, despairing appeal
flashed by the wireless apparatus as
the doomed boat known in the offices
of the Pere Marquette railroad as
carferry No is began to slip into
the deep.
For Gods sake come-we're sink
ing" the operator aboard No. is
licked out into space 1t was in the
cold, gray morning, the sky overcast,
a cold wind blowing and a rough,
wild night just coming to an end.
No. II caught the message. Other
vessels caught it, but No. IT was
close at hand and it was she who
plowed with all possible speed
through the rolling water, but when
she reached the point where No. Is
had voiced her cry for help, the waves
bad closed over the boat.
The catastrophe occurred approx
mately thirty miles off Port Washing
ton. No, II, bound from Milwaukee
for Ludington, reached the wreck
just as No. Is sank out of sight.
Several miles away a lone boat was
foundering in the surge and swell of
the waves and on all sides were the
shrieks and screams of the poor
wretches soaked through and through
with the almost ice-cold water, and
gripped by the strong wind.
The twelve rescued were in one of
the ships boats. The remainder were
clinging to the wreckage or floating
about buffeted by the debris.
Capt. Milligan, acting as first Of
ticer on the No. It, said:
eve had just reached No. is when
it went down. 1t went down stern
first. and just as the waters closed
over it there seemed to be an ex-
plosion, either of steam or by the
compression of air, which blew the
cabin entirely off the boat in frag
ments. and these pieces of wreckage
undoubtedly saved the lives of a
number of the crew.

BROWNE ACQUITTED BY JURY
Action Ends Four Months Suspense
for Leader Indicted in Connection
With lorimer EIe ction.

Chicago-Lee O'Neil Browne, mi
nority leader in the Illinois legisla-
ture, charged with bribery in con-
nection with the election of William
Lorimer to the United States senate,
was found not guilty by jury in the
criminal court. This was Brownies
second trial. The jury disagreed in
the first trial. The speedy verdict was
surprise.
Even the defendant seemed not to
expect it. He smiled pleasantly, but
feebly. as the verdict was read. His
cheeks flushed with the first show of
color that they have shown for many
days when the welcome news reached
his ears,
He stood up. reached his hands
over to accept the congratulations of
his friends, and FASTENED to the jury
box to thank the men who had freed
him from the charge.
In all, eight ballots were taken, ac-
cordng to the best information that
could be secured by Judge Kersten,
1t was officially announced the first
ballot stood to 4 for acquittal
Only one ballot was taken the first
day. When the jury resumed ballot
ing in the morning the count showed
9 to for acquittal. Ballots were
rapidly taken, and shortly before
noon two jurors switched to the de-
Tense, making the stand l to l for
acquittal.
At $50 p. m. the last man holding
out for conviction changed his vote
to not guilty.

Face Shortage Of Preachers.

Charles City.-When the upper
iowa Methodist conference cOnvenes
in Charles City this week. it will find
that it is face to face with shortage
in the number of preachers.
Fifty-seven men, the greater num-
Der of them young and in the prime
of life, will quit the ministry at this
time, to engage in secular work
Many of these men are recently out
of the university and seminary.
The general complaint is that the
salary paid a minister is not sufficient
for him to maintain a family accord
ing to a decent standard of living,
and to give his children an education.
Some of them, men who have spent
from four to six and seven years in
university and seminary are asked
to fill charges where the salary IS
less than 500 a year and instances
are quoted where the preachers are
receiving less than $500 year.
The same problem is likely to be
met in South Dakota at the next con-
ference, particularly in the southern
parts of the state.

TEN CRUSHED TO DEATH
Erie Road Tubes at Jersey City Scene
of the Tragedy. Tourns Of
Rock Fall.

New lOrk.-Ten men were crushed
10 death and nine We're injured, sew
eral of them mortally, by the fall of
hundreds of tons of palisade rock
through the broken roof of the old
Erie railroad tunnels, Jersey City.
The dead and injured formed part of
a gang of twenty-eight hard rock
men who were removing the noun
tain of stone above the tunnels to
transform them into open cuts as
was recently completed on other
tracks adjacent. Somebody either
blundered in blasting which weak
ened the brick roof OF the tubes, or
there was an unsupported fault in
the rock. The casualty list is as fol-

of the railroad, as he stood on the
edge OF the cut nearly 100 feet long,
10 feet deep. the bottom of which

MAINE DEMOCRATIC
GOVERNOR, THREE CONGRESS-
MEN, AND POSSIBLY UNITED
STATES SENATOR.
FIRST IN THIRTY YEARS
Father of This Years Gubernatoriai
Victor Was Last Of His Party
to Win at Polls. Fight on State
Issues.

Augusta.-Maine, for the first time
in thirty years, swung into the Demo-
cratic column
Following the trend in the special
congressional elections in New York
and Massachusetts and rejecting the
revolt against the Republican ma
chine in New Hampshire and other
states, the Pine Tree state elected
a Democratic governor. Three of the
four members of the next congress
VIII be Democrats with the fourth
in doubt
The state senate is certainly Demo-
cratic and the indications are that the
lower house will be controlled by the
same party, thus assuring the selec-
ton of Democrat to succeed Eugene
Hale, who has been member of the
United States senate for more than
quarter of a century.
The full extent of the Democratic
tidal wave cannot be definitely de
scrlbed on account of the delay in re-
turns from some of the inaccessible
districts. But the managers of both
parties have received enough infor-
nation to show these results: The
election of Frederick w Plaisted,
Democrat, for governor over Bert M.
Fernald, Republican, by a plurality
of more than 5000 and possibly
5000.
The election of William NJ Pennel.
Democrat, for congress in the First
district, over Asher Hines, Republi-
can, by COO.
The election of Daniel j. McGilli-
cuddy, Dem, for congress in the sec
ond district over John z. Swasey, Re-
publican. by substantial plurality.
This is the district which was former
ly represented by Nelson w. Dingley,
the author of the tariff bill in effect
before the passage of the Aldrich-
Payne tariff measure.
The election of Samuel Gould, DEM
oerat, for congress in the third dis
trict over Edwin c. Burleigh by a
substantial plurality.
In the fourth district the contest
between George NJ. Hanson, Demo
Graf, and Frank f. Guernsey, Repub-
lican. is close, with both sides claim
ing it. The latest indications are
that Hanson has been elected, thus
insuring a clean Democratic sweep,
in the congress elections.
Returns from the Legislative dis
tricts are necessarily slower than
those for other candidates. Chair
man Bean of the Democratic state
committee claims that his party will
co=trol both houses. If his claims be
sustained by the actual returns. the
state will send a Democrat as the
successor of United States Senator
Hale.
The Republican state committee
comedies the election of Plaisted for
governor and three of the four DEM
ocratic members of congress, but has
not admitted the control of the legis-
lature by the Democrats.
In 1906 the corresponding vote FOR
governor was: Cobb. Republican,
5S,O41; Davis, Democrat, 5 ,2S3. The
present returns show republican
loss of more than s per cent ana a
Democratic gain of more than Il per
