samuel Core, a Negro Boy, Saves Lives
OF Two Men.

w w. Holland nearly lost his life
and Ed Woodrow was injured by fall
ing into a we'll which they were deep
ening on the farm of w. F. Hancock,
east of the city Saturday. The fumes
of nitro -glycerine which they used in
blasting added to their distress and
was the direct cause for the trouble.
Holland had been lowered into the
well by other workmen about half
hour after a blast. He became faint
from the fumes and called to be pull
ed up. Within five feet from the top
he lost his grip on the rope and fell
to the bottom.
woodrow then hastened to go to his
rescue. His companions tied the rope
under his arms and lowered him. He
seized Holland and signaled for the
hoist When the two men were
drawn part way up. however, the knot
in the rope slipped and allowed both
to tumble to the bottom of the Well
again.
other workmen hesitated to at
tempt a rescue by going into the well
and the two were left lying in the
glycerine fumes with injuries of un-
certain extent for nearly an hour. At
this juncture Samuel Core, an 49,
year-old negro student of the Indus
trial school, who was hauling stone
near by, volunteered his assistance
and promptly went into the well. Two
successful trips rescued the injured
men. Woodrow was only slightly in
jured. but Holland was thought to
have suffered severe internal injuries

Morris Plains, N. J., Sept. 25.-When
apparently on the road to recovery of
his lost memory. Prof. Park w. Har-
rington, former head of the weather
bureau, a noted astronomer, and col
lege professor, has suffered a relapse
in to his old habit of forgetfulness of
his own personality. 1t is announced
at the New J crsey insane hospital here
where he was sent in 1907 that until
recently Prof Harrington responded to
his name but that he now denies that
he is Harrington, declaring he is John
Doe, the name that was given him when
he was admitted.
The professor no longer recognizes his
wife and denies that he was ever mar
lied. He does however, remember his
classics, and is a constant reader of
Virgil, Cicero, and Pliny Friends and
relatives are greatly disappointed at
his relapse
Prof. Harrington disappeared from
his home in Mount Vernon, N. Y. in
1899 and was not located until 1908,
after he had been committed to the
asylum. During that time his wander
ings had taken him to China and back.

HOW TOBACCO TRUST WORKED
Is set Forth in a Report by Corpora
ton Commissioner Knox.

Washington, Sept. 25.-The intricate
financial side of the American Tobacco
company. familiarly known as the To
bacco trust" and which now is in pro-
cess of dissolution by order of the
supreme court of the United States,
because it was a com mbination in re-
straint of trade in violation of the
Sherman antitrust law. is set forth in
a report of the commissioner of cor
porations Herbert Knox Smith, which
has been sent to the president.
1t was the second part of a report
on the tobacco industry and deals with
the earnings. capitalization and invest
ment of the great tobacco combina-
tion.
The commissioner says that the vast
earning power which arose from the
substantial control of the tobacco in
dustry was a monopoly resulting from
concentration. The capitalization of
this monopolist power was much
greater than the actual investment and
by clever arrangement the bulk of the
earnings were centered in the hands of
a small group of individuals.
The enormous profits resulting from
the imitation of the securities and the
dividends paid thereon, the report
concludes, rested in their ultimate
analysis upon the monopolistic ad-
vantages obtained in the tobacco in
dustry through concentration of con-
troll

Newport, R. l., Sept. 25.-After lag
ging behind other great naval powers
in torpedo equipment for many years,
the United States navy is fast over
hauling the leading European powers
in this respect, according to the an
nual report of the naval torpedo sta
ton here American warships now
have more than half the requisite num-
Der of torpedoes, whereas few years
ago the number was greatly below this.
At the recent summer maneuvers of
the Atlantic fleet off Cape Cod, spe-
ciaI attention was given to the tor
pedo drills both by the submarine and
surface vessels. In Narragansett bay
the torpedo fleet, including the subma-
rine flotilla, has been working hard to
bring UP the standard of efficiency
Recently the destroyer Reid made
eight bulls eyes with eight shots,
while the submarine Octopus, at un-
derwater practice, scored rs per cent
of hits.
The armored cruisers Washington
and North Carolina and the battleship
Georgia, with the third submarine flo
tflla are this week having their tor
pedo work in Narragansett bay The
station here is working up to its ca
pacity in turning out torpedoes and
naval officers say that it will be only
a short time before the United States
will not have to depend upon Europe
for any part of its supply.
