Holds. Liner at Fault
In Collision at Sea

LONDON, Dec. 20.-The admiralty
court today decided that the White Star
liner Olympic. the biggest ship afioat.
was responsible for the collision with
the protected cruiser Hawke, OFF the
Isle of Wight, on September ?. No DAM
ages were assessed against the White
Star because of the law, which pro-
vtdes for compulsory pilotage.
The olympic had on board 5000 per-
sons when the accident occurred, rnany
Of them Americans. Both vessels were
badly damaged. The decision caused
considerable surprise, because a num-
Der Of passengers on the Olympic had
testified that the Hawke was clearly
responsible.

FAILS NEAR GOAL
IN HAVANA TRIP
Aviator McCurdy Sinks to Waves
With Success Near-OVersea
Record Is Broken.

Havana. Cuba. A. D. McCurdy
made his often postponed attempt to
fly across the Florida straits from Key
West to Havana In his Curtiss bi-
plane he covered so miles of the dis
lance and then was forced to descend
ten miles from Havana, by shortage
in his supply of lubricating oil.
When he saw that he could not
reach this port McCurdy alighted safe
ly on the waters and the pontoons
with which it was equipped f1oated
the aeropIane until the destroyer
Paulding, splashing along in its wake,
had overtaken the aerial craft. Nc
Curdy and his biplane were taken on
board, neither the worse for the mis-
hap.
At first it was believed that the
aviator could make a new start from
the deck of the destroyer, but this
proved impractical and after consid-
cradle delay the Paulding brought the
whole outfit into the harbor. The
o,her boats that marked the course
across the strait joined the Paulding
and the fleet came in together
McCurdy had covered approximate
ly so miles of the distance of liz
to Havana when he was obliged to
descend and, though he failed to meet
the requirements of the competition.
he accomplished a feat unprecedented
in cross seas flying.
Compared With the 1S-mile flights
across the English channel, his per-
Torrance stands out as far more re-
markable But for a slip in taking
supplies it is not to be doubted that
the trip would have been successful.
Great disappointment is felt by thou
sands here who gathered to catch a
glimpse of the bird man.
The money offered for the aerial
voyage included $4,000 rendered by
the Havana Post and $4,000 appro'
priated by the Havana city council.

TARIFF BOARD ACT
PASSED BY HOUSE
Measure Urged by Taft Adopted
1856 to SO.
ALL AMENDMENTS ARr LOST
Bitter Debate Marked Progress of
6iIl-Democrats Sought in Vari-
Gus Ways to Change 1t But
Without Success.

Washington.-The bill providing for
a permanent tariff board of five mem
bers was passed by the house just
before midnight last night by vote
OF 1S6 to SO. The measure, which
was advocated by President Taft,
went through unamended, although
the Democrats made a number of un-
successful attempts to alter some of
its provisions.
The session was enlivened by
acrimonious debate, in which Champ
Clark at one time clashed with Repre-
sentative Payne, and in which Presi-
dent Taft was attacked by Represent
alive Fitzgerald for his construction
of the tariff laws provision for the
appointment of a tariff board.
The bill creates a permanent tariff
board in lieu of the present board,
which is a creature of a provision of
the sundry civil appropriation bill.
and which will expire by its own
limitation on June 80 next.
The proposed board is to consist of
five members, not more than three of
whom shall be of the same political
party. The term Of Office shall be
six years for each member. and those
first appointed shall serve for terms
of two, three four, five and six years
respectively, to be designated by the
president. The president is also to
designate one of the members to be
chairman.
The salaries Of the members are
81 500 annually for the chairman and
81 600 each for the other members.
T > frs amendment offered by the
Democrats came from Representative
James Of Kentucky. It provided for
the appointment Of three members of
the board by the president and the
election of the two minority mem
bers by the minority party in the SEN
ate and house Of representatives
MT. James said he did not think a
Republican president was qualified to
select the Democratic members of the
bipartisan board.
Mr.. Barnhart of Indiana offered an
amendment, allowing the president to
appoint one member, the presiding
officer Of the senate two and the
speaker two. The amendment was
lost, 100 to 149.
Repre% entatiye Coz of Indiana
sought to have the appointees on the
board made subject to confirmation
by the senate This also was lost
The Democrats then sought to limit
the expenditures of the board, first to
S250,O00 year and then to 100000
a year. Both propositions were lost.
Various other amendments offered
by the Democrats were voted down.

A Corner in Candles.

AS an example of trusts and monop-
olies prevalent even in that early day
it may be mentioned that in 1850 one
benjamin Crabb obtained the exclus-
i've right to make sperm candles IN
Massachusetts for IA years.
A year later, however, a factory was
started in Providence, R. l., and with
in the decade there were eight fac
tories in New England and one in
Philadelphia. Their output greatly re-
duced the price of candles, which not
long before sold for five shillings a
pound. In those days $1.25 was worth
fully three times as much as it is now.

Worked II Years to Free Husband

Worked II Years to Free Husband,
After II years years of answering
effort Mrs. Chris Evans at last sees
a prospect for the pardon of her hus-
band, a life prisoner at Folsom, who,
with John Sontag, for II months stood
off California officers in a bushwhack-
ing fight. While Chris Evans, with
one eye and one hand shot away, has
been languishing in his cell his plucky
wife, left resouTceless with four young
children, has fought her way through,
first at the washtub and then, as her
boys grew older, in easier ways, but
never forgetting the imprisoned IA
Their and husband.
During the II years Mrs. Evans has
visited the prison at Folsom as often
as her circumstances allowed, and
never has a new governor been inaug-
urated in California that she has not
laid her plea before him. Now she
is informed that parole is about to
be granted.-Portland correspondence

LABOR CASE is ENDED.
Federation Leaders Fate Rests With
Supreme Court.

Washington.-The closing argu-
ments in the court contempt cases
Of the American Federation of Labor
chiefs-Gompers, Mitchell and Morri-
son-were made before the United
States Supreme court and that tr1bu-
nal has taken the question OF affirm
ing the decision handed down by the
District of Columbia court sentencing
the three leaders to jail, under advise
ment.
Arguments were made by Judge Al
ton B. Parker and Jackson H Ralston
for the accused, and by ]. ]. Darling
ton and Daniel Davenport against
them.
What Attorneys Ralston and OAR
lington had to say was strictly in re-
gard to the law in the case. Judge
Parker depressed to pay tribute to
these leaders of organized labor in the
United States, while Mr. Davenport
made a vigorous attack upon the
American Federation of Labor.
The officials of the American Fed
GRAFTON of Labor and others, accord
ing to Mr. Davenport, were engaged
in a conspiracy in violation of both
the laws of God and of man.
The Supreme court at the close of
the arguments took a recess to Feb
ruary 20
1t is believed that the opinion of
the court in one or more of the big
corporation cases, including the dis
solution suits against the Standard
Oil company and the American To-
bacco organization, and in the cor
poration tax cases, may be announced
when the tribunal reconvenes.

THE PEPYS OF THE DIARY
He Was q Man of Importance in His
Time, and Amazingly Belt
tied Himself.

The wonderful thing about Mt.
Pepys is that a man should succeed
in making himself seem so insignlfl-
cant when really he must have been
a man of considerable character and
attainments. Who would guess II
who reads all these trivial comments,
these catalogues of what he had for
dinner, these inane domestic CONN
dences-alI the more interesting from
their inanity? The effect left upon
the mind is of some grotesque char
acter in a play, fussy, self-conscious:
clustering with women, timid, trim
ming in politics, and in religion a
garrulOus gossip immersed always in
tribes.
nd yet, though this was the day
by-day man. the year-by-year man was
a very different person, a devoted
civil servant, an eloquent orator, an
excellent writer, a capable musician
I'D a ripe scholar who accumulated
three thousand Volumes large pri
vate library in those days-and had
the public spirit to have them all
to his university.
You can forgive old Pepys a good
deal of his phiIandering when you re
member he was the only official OF
the navy Office who stuck to his post
during the worst days of the plague
He may have been-indeed, he as
suredly was-a coward, but the COW
ard who has sense of duty enough to
overcome his cOwardice in the most
truly brave of mankind.
But one amazing thing which will
never be explained about Pepys is
what on earth induced him to go to
the incredible labor OF writing down
in shorthand cipher not only all the
triviaIities of his life, but even his
own very gross deIinquencies which
any other man would have been only
too glad to forget--Conan Doyle il
