BUSINESS FRANKNESS.

Day by day the great corporations
of the world are learning that 1t pays
to take the public into their con-
iidence.
Standard Oil learned t.; Union Pa
cific learned II. and the newspaper
men of the country still remember the
distinct surprise with which they sud
denly found T.. II. Hartman and John
ID. Rockefeller ready to answer any
legitimate question as to the operation
of their businesses.
The corporations learned the lesson
when the public, tired of being ex-
plotted, turned and began to curb the
power of the money barons. From this
1t was but IA step to the point where
the corporations sought for publicity
A case in point happened the other
day after a big train wreck, and the
New York World tells about 1t as fol-
lows:
st. Louis.-Following n policy an
nounced at the time when the Office
of publicity man was created by the
Missouri Pacific, President Bush last
night authorized an official story of
the details of the wreck near Omaha
In which seven persons were killed
ana twenty-five injured. 1t was writ
ten In the form of a newspaper mar
rative rather than a railroad report.
II stated that Engineer Crawford and
Conductor Gross of the freight train
Seemed" to have been responsible for
the accident, and that they apparent
" forgot all about" the passenger
train and its right to the tracks. Both
men, the bulletin stated, had had
twelve hours for sleep and meals
since their last run.
In further pursuance Of its new
policy the Missouri Pacific sent tele-
graphic notices of the accident to the
families and relatives of the killed
and injured Heretofore usually the
first communication Of a railroad with
the relatives of wreck victims has
been in the form of claim agents

er-President" Bush made over 1000
words.
He burned up" the wires to Omaha
asking for every detail Of the wreck,
then prepared 1t carefully for the st
Louis newspapers and ordered his as
sistants to wire the story to daily
newspapers, large and small, in Mis-
souri, Pacific territory. There was no
effort to shift the blame in the story

The strategic position of Tanning
has been given much consideration,
and its acquisition by British syn
dictate Is regarded AS the overt an
nouncement of a policy of tremendous
importance to the future of the Pa
cihc.
Negotiations are now In progress
for the chartering of vessel here
that will take Father Rougier to Fan

representative of the English and Ca
madam syndicate that has bought the
island. The representative Is expect

The yacht Hawaii has been consid-
likely that another vessel would be
chosen. The directors of the yacht
club will meet at $50 o'clock tonight
TO discuss the chartering of the yacht.
The terms, II Is understood, would be
q thirty-day charter with a provision
for extension. with the charter party
to give bond for the yacht FOR 100000.
Father Rougier has had several offers
made him today of charters and one
OF them may be accepted before to-
morrow.

Treasurer J. II. Magoon
has called a meeting of the directors
OF the yacht club for $3.50 O'Clock this

the charter will be talked over.
Father Rougier Is anxious to get
back to Tanning AS soon as possible

SENATOR SWANSON
OPENS CAMPAIGN.
Junior Senator from Virginia Makes
Answer to Charges Preferred
By His Opponent.

At LaWrenceville at three O'Clock
this afternoon Senator Claude a. Swan.
son fired the opening gun OF his cam
paign for reelection TO the United
States Senate. The senator has re-
manned silent during the campaign,
although his opponent, Hon. Carter
Glass, Of Lynchburg, has been very
active and Las delivered speeches from
one end Of the state to the other in which
charges were made against Swanson
and the alleged machine of which he
is said to be member.
Senator Swanaon's speech this after
noon was complete answer to all the
charges which have been made against
him up to the present. time. He takes up
his opponents accusations one by one
and shows that Mr. Glassi entire cam
paign had been misleading and unfair.
Starting with his record as governor
which has been frequently attacked
during the last three months, Senator
Swanson proves that Mr. Glass has mis-
represented the situation. He went
into an exhaustive history OF his con-
nection with the American Tobacco
Company. Senator Swanson's speech
will be published in full in the Gazette
during this week.
Senator Martin opens his campaign
at the Academy Of Music tonight and
it is expected that ne will make the fur
fly. The senior senator is vigorous
campaiguer. 1t is said that prepara.
tions are being made for the largest
political meeting ever held in the state.
Representative Jones has given up
his plan of invading the southwest, but
will continue on his active campaign in
other parts of the state. Representa-
tive Glass and Ex-Governor Montague
are having big crowds turn out to hear
them discuss the issues OF the campaign.

DIES FROM GUN SHOT.
Charles Taylor, Colored, is Shot by
Another Negro---Tetanus
Developed.

After having been confined in an
isolated room at the Alexandria Hospi-
tai for the past four days suffering from
tetanus, Charles Taylor, colored. about
tbirty-one years old, died last night at
that institution.
The tetanus was due to being shot in
the left arm on Saturday night, August
y. His body was removed to the u1-
dertaking establishment of VIM. De.
maine & Son.
Taylor was shot in the left arm on
the night of Saturday two weeks ago
by another colored man, Robert
Bryant by name. Bryant immediately
after the shooting left town and has not
been heard from or seen in this citv
since.
The shooting occurred in negro
shack on the corner of Fairfax and
Orohoco strerts, rented and occupied at
the time by Annie Simms, a colored
woman. A number of negroes were in
the house at the time when the shoot
ing occurred. Ali, it seems, were
drinking. The trouble ensued, it is
said. when negress, who was among
the company, charged Taylor with hav-
ing robbed her OF sum Of money.
Taylor denied this and at the same
time, it is said, picked up shot gun
and pointed it at the head OF Bryant.
Bryant iu turn grabbed the gun from
the hands OF Taylor and shot him in
the left arm.
Taylor was walking on the streets the
next day when an officer spied blood
trickling down the ueGro's arm. The
officer advised Taylor to go to the
Alexandria Hospital and have his arm
dressed. This he did. Several days
after he came back to the hospital and
bis arm was dressed second time.
This was repeated another time. But
On the fourth time it was observed that
tetanus was developing. The negro
was Immediately placed in an isolated
room which was especially prepared fol-
the emergency. Six doses of anti-te
tanic-serum was given the negro but tc
no avail.
