TOM RICHARDSON TAKES
BOOM METHODS TO BALTIMORE

Tom Richardson Is holding what he
calls commercial evangelistic meet
ings" in Baltimore. He started two
weeks ago to raise 100000 for the
Greater Baltimore committee His
methods are new to Baltimore people.
Never have they had such revival.
For a century Baltimore has been re-
garded as the rock Of conservatism.
Business was conducted along old and
stald lines The first thing Richard
son did when he landed was to refer
to the town as having "cobblestones.'
He suggested that the way to get rid
of "cobblestones' was to "toot your
own horn" He urged the staid bank
ers who had never attended n live
wire" meeting to make n noise" II
was something decidedly new, and SO
funny to them It felt good. Then when
Richards added: "Blow your whistles
and let the world know you're living
it was such an eye-opener that the
bankers began to sit up and take
notice. The result is that the Port
land professional booster IS begin
ming to see a good prospect of raising
the $500, OOO for advertising the city's
resources,

While Mr.. Richardson was doing all
this he stopped long enough to give
the citizens some idea of what is be-
ing accomplished in Portland, for he

Hold Convention Soon.

4 convention TO discuss ways and
means of colonizing the big area has
been called under the auspices of the
Spokane chamber of commerce for
April II. Invitations to the cOnven-
tiCn have been issued representa-
tives Of commercial clubs throughout
the inland empire, also to owners of
logged off areas and especially to
those settlers who have demonstrated
the practicability Of removing stumps
by inexpensive processes. The rail-
way companies have also been invited
to send representative. It will be the
purpose of the convention to gather
data on all of the essential details
necessary to induce prospective set
tiers who are not discouraged at the
prospect of hard labor to get onto
these cheap and remarkably fertile
lands.
Men who have made a success OF
farming logged-off land will be invit-
cd t1 give what information they can
as to the best methods of cultivating
ana what, in their belief, is the most
practicable way of removing the
stumps The most popular methods
employed are dynamiting, burning
ana charcoaiing. The latter method
$ used with great success on the Pa
[ cific coast and consists of boring a
hole n the center of the log and
( through the side. thus creating a di-
rect draft.
The committee in charge of the
convention consists of Samuel Glas
/ gov, secretary of the Centennial Mil
company; y. W. Durham journalist
T. J. Humbird, president of the Ma
tional Apple show; j. p McGoldrick
chairman of the publicity committee

merce, and w. c. Ufford, manager o

POWERS GREATLY ALARMED
United Action Likely to Prevent Ex-
tension Of Field of War.

Vienna, Oct with the news that
actual fighting between Italy and Tur-
key had followed King victor's decla-
ration Of hostilities against the sultan,
European diplomacy is straining every
nerve towards narrowing the field of
war.
1t is recognized that the Turko-Ital-
Ian struggle may speedily involve
practically every one OF the greater
old world powers unless the most
strenuous efforts are made to prevent
1t, and from SO tremendous an out
break even the most hardened of IN
ternational politicians shrink In hor-
hor.
The wires are being kept hot be-
tween Vienna, Berlin, London, Paris
and st. Petersburg with view to con.
certed action towards putting the lid
on the Balkans, but for the next few
days 1t will be impossible to Judge OF
the success of these exertions In the
interests of European peace.

BIG BUSINESS MUST
OBEY The LAWS
President Says There viii Be
No Letup In Prosecutions.

Waterloo, Ia, Sept. 29.-President
Taft in a speech defining "the rela-
ton of the government to business"
announced that the trust prosecutions
began by the department of justice at
Washington would continue despite
the recent criticism that business was
being made to suffer.
He served notice that the big bust
ness interests" of the country must be
brought within the law just as the
railroads have been, and declined to
admit that there exists any discretion
which would enable the attorney gen.
eral to stay the hand of the govern
ment in dealing with combinations In
restraint of trade.
At the same time the president
made an earnest appeal for reasonable
consideration Of the railroads and the
big industrial corporations on the
ground that their reformation was be-
ing brought about steadily and salts
factorily and that nothing was to be
gained by "vindictive hostility"
Mr.. Taft bitterly denounced those
politicians who seek to arouse the
prejudices Of the people and to array
one section of the country against an
other. Such utterances he declared to
be those of the blindest of men,"
The trust prosecutions, Mr.. Taft
said. need not be long continued be-
cause he believed the business COM
munity was rapidly taking in the eff
feet OF the recent decisions of the SUI
preme court and preparing to square
itself with the law.

of Mr.. and Mrs. William Dias of

from thirteen years to three months,

made an attempt to extinguish the
fire. The blaze spread rapidly, how
ever, and they were unable to return

YiClnllS Of Flood at Austin and
Costello, Pa, Not as Nu-
meTOuS as Reported.
PROPERTY LOSS HEAVY
Relief Trains Arrive With Pro,
visions for Survivors and
Rescue Grew.

Austin. Pa. Oct 2-Estimates OF
the loss of life in the flood that over.
whelmed the town of Austin dimin-
ished when an army of volunteer
rescuers worked its way into the
masses of wreckage In the opinion OF
many on the ground the number of
deaths will not reach $50, while the
less hopeful place the list of fatalities
at 800.
The property loss will exceed So
100000. and il is the general opinion
that the town never will be rebuilt.
Two, at least, of the large plants will
not be reconstructed and a majority
of the business men of the place have
been financially ruined.
State officials in charge of the stu.
alton, after a hasty canvass Of the
population, expressed the belief that
not more than $50 are dead in the
wreckage. Only sixteen bodies have
been recovered.
A battalion of state police surround
ed the town and no person without a
pass was permitted to enter.
Few Dead at Costello.
Reports from Costello and points
further down Sinnemahoning grew
more encouraging as the day adj
vanced. At Costello, while there was
a heavy financial loss, 1t was said
that no more than two persons were
dead. Beyond that point no fatalities
had been reported.
The survivors will not suffer from
hunger or lack of care, as the supplies
and medical assistance rushed to the
scene seem ample to care for them.
E. f. Bicknell, national director of the
Red Cross, arrived, bringing with him
$4,000 in cash for immediate aid to
the flood victims. OF the eight in
jured in the hospitals, none is fatally
hurt.
The immediate scene of the oblitera-
ton of Austin covers an area three
eighths of a mile wide and one and
miles long. This COM
prised the business section and the
valley portion.
Nearly a mile above stood the NAM
moth concrete dam of the Bayless Pa
per and Pulp company, 600 feet long,
fifty-two feet high and thirty feet
thick at the bottom, tapering to a
thickness of three feet at the top.
Bio Reservoir Of Water,
Back of this dam lay reservoir of
water one mile and a half long and
an average of thirty-Ave feet deep. Di-
recently in front OF the dam stood the
plant of the Bayless company with
four main buildings.
Five minutes after the dam burst
the stage had been swept of it's seen
cry and its setting. Along the foot
hills were thrown telescoped houses.
At either end OF Main street brick
buildings acted as buffers as the twen-
ty-five foot wall of water rushed town
ward with It's mass of debris.
Almost hill-high, the wood, steel and
brick were piled, strange mixture of
the contents of stores and homes and
of varied length timbers and sticks.
Wreckage of the dam had been as
complete as it was sudden. Two i'm
mense sections from top to bottom,
$50 feet wide, were thrown out bodily
like the immense gates Of a canal
lock. The outward swing was more
than fifty feet, and on either side the
remaining structure gradually began
to crumble
