In ansver to Senator Lodges
speech In Symphony ball Tuesday

sued statement, saying in part:
Senator Lodges speech OF Last
night was an eloquent personal remi-
niscence. It told OF the past, but not
word of the present and the fu-
ture. II there was any doubt as to
the fact that the senator was de-
feated, this speech has completely dis
PEELED that illusion. For his own
utterancss have defeated him.

tors BY. popular vote. on the recall,
on the initiation and on, the referen-
dum.''' ...:.,.. Z,
The governor-elect says that upon
these issues the election was fought
and won in Massachusetts, last fall
and declares that Senator Lodge
evaded all these issues. It is seen.
he adds. that Mr.. Lodge is opposed
To- every one OF them. After declar-
Ing that Senator Lodge is discred-
|ited man In the eyes Of the public,
Mr.. Foss continues:
He. does not stand for the new
order of things. He does not believe
In the capacity and the right OF the
people to govern themselves. He
has said enthusiastically that he does
not think the people competent to
advise their public servants. He Is
a reactionary. He faces to the rear
and he belongs to an era which jls
already dead. ::

Clinging to the bottom OF tnelr

turtle, seven seamen Of the British
steamship Navarro ware rescued IN
the harbcr OF Charleston Wednesday
afternoon, says The News and Cour-
Ter, by Jimmie Deal and Eugene

Messrs. Deal and Cross were out IN

Whistles. the distress signal. blown
By the steamship Navarro, which got
out OF tho channel Tuesday, morning
In fog and grounded near Buoy NO.
Z. Young Deal, who was In charge
of the pilot launch, looked about to
.see what was the trouble. Nearly
half mile away from the ship he
spied e small object drifting with
the tide. which appeared to be a
boat bottom-upwards with several
men clinglng to- 1t. A second glance
showed plainly that the men were
waving a handkerchief and beckon-
Ing Tor aid. With all possible dis
patch, Messrs. Deal and Cross made
for the Bcene OF trouble.

Wells-Fafgo Express company, az
San Antonio, Tex, Of $5ol, 900 eleven
years ago, is running an. engine on
the st. Louis, Brownsville and Mex

fering no pangs OF conscience over
his crime. The penalty which he
paid for taking the money wac ave

giving him that sentence on plea OF
guilty.
What became Of the> $4,000 is Is
mystery to the Wells-Fargo people
and the detectives, who have been
searching for :, ever since. It Is
known that Beeler never had reapea
any. benefit Of the stolen money.
From the time he left the doors OF
the penitentiary until short time
ago there was never day that ne
wes not shadowed by detectives AT
last the express company is said to
be convinced that the man lost OF
misplaced the money. Now the COM
pany has given up all hopes Of ever
obtaining possession Of 1t.
Beeler stole the money while be
was hauling it from the express Of
flce to the railroad station, In San
Antonio. He buried it en- q ranch q
short distance from the city and then
fled into Mexico. He was captured
and taken back to Texas for trial,
and after he had pleaded guilty made
confession and led the detectives
to the place where he buried the
money. But he could not find 1t,
either from mistaking the location or
having some one else dig It up. and
he was accordingly taken back and
sentenced to Ave years IN prison.

Wells. Fargo & Co.. sued him and
obtained judgment for the amount
OF the stolen money. During the
time that. he ives tn the penitentisry
detectives kept constant watch on
Beeler'B wife. thinking he might
have turned the stolen money over
to her! 3aI.l5 A.: s:.t....a&

1t Is now Elk years since he left
