PEACE, PURE FOOD,
ANDCHARITY TOPICS
Legion of Loyal Women Give
Annual Supper.

Peace. charity, and pure food were
the themes OF addresses at the nine
teenth anniversary supper of the Le-
giOn of Loyal Women last night at their
hall. 419 Tenth street northwest. Mrs.
Belva A. Lockwood gave a spirited ad-
dress in behalf of peace. and upbraided
government officials and Congress for
appropriating and spending money for
implements of war that would be use>
less in a few years, owing to progress
in the art of warfare.
She especially assailed the idea of forti-
flying the Panama Canal, and said the
money appropriated to erect such forti-
flcations would be productive of more
good if it were applied to the interest
of peace.
DR.. Harvey w. Wiley, in an address,
deplored the lack OF patriotism in this
country, and said the country was too
much engrossed in the chase for the al
mighty dollar to pay much attention to
anything else. He said that through the
Efforts of the women of the United
States dishonesty was on the wane.
Mrs. Charles Goldsmith addressed the
meeting on charity and with statistics
showed the amount of such work now go
ing en- in Washington and the good it is

OWNER OF AUSTIN
DAM IS INDICTED
Bayless and Two Employees
Held for Manslaughter.

COudersport. Pa, Nov. 20.-TwO war
rants, charging manslaughter in connec-
tion with the bursting of the great dam
at Austin, Pa, on September 30 with
the resulting great loss of life and prop
erty damage, were issued to-day. One
names George G. Bayless, president of
the Bayless Pulp and Paper Company,
which built and owned the dam. and the
other is joint warrant naming Fred
erick J. Hamlin, superintendent of the
BaEless company, and James Bauley, the
dam watchman.
Information upon which the warrants
were Issued was furnished by the Aus
tin-CostellO Flood Sufferers Association.
comprising nearly 100 persons who lost
relatives and property by the breaking
OF the dam. and which has prosecuted
diligent search into the facts relating to
the disaster. The inquest, conducted un-
der the direction of Harry w. Nelson.
the district attorney. is not yet closed.
and the blame for the deaths of upward
of 100 persons Is still unfiXed by official
action of the COroners jury, but the
granting Of warrants for officers of the
company will spur on action, and quick
results are anticipated.
Facts in connection with the construc-
ton of the dam which was the barrier
between life and death for hundreds OF
persons living in the valley proved that
due consideration for the safety of lives
and property had not been shown.
The dam was finished in December 1907
it's concrete was poured in freezing
weather; on completion a crack appear
ed from top to bottom; in less than a
month a second crack showed in two
months leaks started from the toe and
through the rock strata.
Experts agreed that the attempt to
remedy these alarming conditions were
inadequate, and that If a curtain wall
could not have been sunk to impervious
strata, the dam should have been aban-
doned.

believed here that the shooting of the
President is attributable to A nersonaI
fued.
This is the first serious disorder in
Santo Domingo since the finances of the
country were placed under the customs
receivership about six years ago. w. W,
Russell, American Minister to Santo
Domingo, IS now in Washington on leave
of absence. In view of the assassination
OF the President and the possibility of
further trouble, Mr.. Russell probably will
cut short his vacation and return to his
post at once.
Gen. Caceres was inaugurated Presi-
dent on July I. 1908. and his term of office
would have expired next year.
The gunboat Wheeling probably will be
sent to Santo Domingo.
