PEARYS VESSELS NEW WORK.
Roosevelt Effective in Rescuing
Grounded Barkentine Stephen G. Hart.

New Bedford, Mass, Feb. 3.-The
powerful engines of the steamer
Roosevelt which successfully over
came the resistance of Arctic lee
foes on Peary's last expedition Thurs
day proved their worth as adjuncts to
the Roosevelt in her new duty as a
wrecking vessel, when she rescued the
New York barkentine Stephen G. Hart
from Sow and Pigs ledge off Guilty
hunk island. The Hart had been
aground on the ledge since last Friday
night when she ran ashore during a
heavy fog. 1t had been feared she
would be total loss.
Laden with only one-third of her
cargo of lumber, the remainder hay
ing been iettisoned. with which she
was bound from Gulfport Miss, for
Boston. the Hart was towed to an
anchorage in the Acushnet river late
Thursday by the Roosevelt and the
wrecking steamer Fasco. which also
had assisted in floating her. The tow
of 90 miles was accomplished without
mishap.
A survey will be held Friday to
determine the extent of the Harris in
juries and to decide for the owners
where she will discharge the remain
der of her cargo and be repaired. The
survey probably will show that her
bottom has been badly torn. and that
her keel has been broken almost en-
tirely, as pieces of the latter washed
ashore at Cuttyhunk after last Satur-
days storm.

ceedings, thereby rendering his dis
appearance" impossible, Hale replied
that he did not refer to the physical
presence OF the Illinois senator. but
meant merely to say that Lorimer had
been so completely overshadowed by
the issue as to be eliminated from con-
SideratiOn. This was not an arraign-
ment of Lorimer, but of the majestic
state of Illinois, and he added that he
did not want the case disposed of I'M
til Cullom or some other friend of the
state SHOULD arise and if possible free
the state from the inevitable result of
the charges Of the senator from New
York. If we may believe what has
been said, there existstand there has
existed for years, a practice and habit
of corruption"
Bailey said that if Roots doctrine
was followed out, it would be founc
that there had not been a lawful cleo
ton in Illinois for many years This

A WIDE DIFFERENCE
OF Opinion on Canadian Reciprocity
Voiced in London Papers.

London. Feb. 3.-The Unionist press
had completely abandoned the discussion
of the vote bill and the House of Lords.
and taken up the reciprocity agreement
as the most live issue of the hour. The
Unionist editorials assert that tariff re-
form and imperial preference are more
urgent than ever.
Interviews on the question are sought
with all the prominent men. The CAN
adam tinancier w. NJ. Aitken. who was
elected member of the House Of Com
mons for Ashton Under-Lyn. expresses
the view that the United States has been
so wasteful of its natural resources that
it is compelled to look to Canada's un-
tapped esources to prevent impending
disaster.
The STANDARD in an editorial says:
Canada Is mistress of the situation
agreement or no agreement-yet the Can
adam ministers have allowed themselves
to be hypnotized by the bYilliance of the
American offer and have fallen into the
trap Taft so carefully laid
The Daily Telegraph says that there is
still time for the mother country to act
to bring Canada into wide scheme of
imperial preference.
Daily Kennebec journal. [microfilm reel] (Augusta, Me.) 1870-1975, 1911-02-04

The. choice says the Telegraph. "is
between keeping and losing Canada. be-
tween saving the empire and allowing it
to drift to dissolution. The possibilities
of imperial preference in connection with
the United States are wider than ever
The whole question. il we ar wise may
be placed by future unionist negotia-
tion with Washington and Ottawa upon
a bigger and more practical basis. To
the double purpose of imperial union and
Anglo-American friendship the present
reciprocity project will be no obstacle
but strong help"

For Responsibility Of the
Communipaw Explosion.
Captain Of Lighter and Powder
Co. Employees in The Lot.
But Officials Say They Are After
the Men higher Up.

New York. Feb. 3.-Ten thouSanC
pounds of black powder on board tn
lighter Katherine w. contrary to the
company's policy and orders prob
ably caused the explosion of dynamite
al Communipaw. n. j., on Wednesday
according to DR. w. G. Hudson. in
spector for the F. l. Dupont De Neu-
mers Powder Co. This powder, he
said. was part of the Dupont shipment
for South America, as was the dyna-
mite, but it should have been delivered
to steamship. he maintained, before
the dynamite was taken aboard.
Contrary to general belief said Dr.
Hudson, BLACK powder is far more
dangerous than dynamite. We believe
the powder became ignited and In eN-
ploding detonated some of the dyna-
mite-not much of ii. Dynamite
freezes at about 45 degrees Fahrenheit
and it is nearly impossible to explode
it when frozen. The temperature on
the day of the explosion and for
week before was below 40.
Hudson Maxim, the inventor, an au-
thority on explosives, inclined to the
same belief. He thought the after ef-
fects of the explosion suggested gun
powder rather than dynamite.
Dynamite produces intense local eff
fects," he said. ut pulverizes. whereas
gun powder rends. heaves and tears to
much greater distance"
The eight Hen charged with man
slaughter and criminal carelessness ac-
cessory to the explosion surrendered to
the authorities at one time and another
today.

APPLE CULTURE.

4 one of the foremost industries of the country
The apple producers already begin to fear that the
market may become overstocked and they nave
started campaign of education concerning apples
as good for the digestions and so on. They want
each person in the country TO eat on an average,
six apples a day, and the apple growers would DC
happy il the people did that
Reports from the west say that the red apple
growers of Oregon, Washington Idaho and Mon
tana have been making sensational profits from
apples cultivated on the irrigated FARMS SIN
gle acre in some instances, is said TO have yielded
a greater profit than the profit OF the average farm
in the country.
But the western growers are disturbed by the
apple culture movement in the East. They think
however that the eastern states will be unable to
match the apples of the far west and the western
ers say the Eastern growers must equal in apple
integrity" the West.
The growers in the Hood River and adjacent DIS
tricts have an association the motto OF when IS

a standard and guarantee the product as they
should do. but some OF the apple producers IN the
mast have resored 10 the practice of topping their
apples and thus practically swindling the pur-
chaser
