VoR is TO BE A MOTHER
baby lives, and there will be kin
ship, too-if Mrs. Astor can feel
it through her money.
For Mrs. Adele NaSrallah has
written letter to Mrs. Astor. 1t
is not an appeal for aid. 1t is
nothing but the letter of a sor-
rowing mother.
The letter is written in Syrian.
Mrs. Astor will not be able to I'M
derstand it without an interpre-
ter. But perhaps she will not
need anyone to interpret the tear
blots. Here is the letter:
Dear Mrs. Aston: Z
Il was in the same lifeboat as
you when the Titanic went down..
We comforted each other. My :
husband, Nicholas, went down
with your husband. All our
money and things went with him.
And l, too, will soon have a
baby. I am glad my baby will be
here. 1t will help me to forget
the tragedy of my husbands
death. hope it will grow up big,
and healthy and strong. 1 hope
yours will, too.
fMy baby will be born in lit
tie room in Cleveland, where am
living with my brother, Elijah. L
thought l would write you be-
cause your husband also died, and
because you also have had a baby
since that great catastrophe.

ANOTHER TITANIC SURVI
Cleveland, O., Sept. 13.-Who
remembers the awful night of the
fifteenth of April, 1912?
Who remembers the Titanic,
giant of the seas, slowly sinking
beneath the waves, while the wo-,
men and the children, huddled in
the boats, watched the doom of
their husbands and fathers?
On that night two young wo-
men were claSped in each others
arms in one of the boats. To
gether they saw their hero hus-
bands go-to death, and they COM
forted each other, without speech,
because the one could not under
stand the language of the other.
One of the women was Mrs.
John Jacob Astor. The other was
Mrs. Adele Nasrallah, wife of
Nicholas Nasrallah, owner of
tanneTy.
Who remembers the birth of
the Astor baby, told in columned
stories in the newspapers, the
half dozen specialists, the trained
nurses, the money-worship of the
crowd?
In a cramped, humble room in
the Syrian quarter of this city,
Mrs. Adele Nasrallah today is
awaiting the advent of a baby, a
baby whose father died with As
tor, while the women and children
went first.
There will be no half dozen
specialists to usher in the Nasral-

CORRUPTION is CHARGED
Senator eristow, Of Kansas, Urges
Senate to Reject Majority Report Of
Elections Committee Exonsrating
Senator sphenson-Deeiares Wis
sofssin Statute Against Corrupt
Practices Was Violated.

Washington, March 1.-Insisting
that any act Of corruption that con-
tributes to nomination in the senatorial
primary is Just &C culpable as II it oc-
ours In election by legislature. Sem
ator Rristow. Of Kansas, today urged
the senate to reject the majority report
Of the committee on privileges and
elections exonerating Senator Stephen
son. of Wisconsin. OF the charge that
corrupt practices were employed in Sc
curing his election.
II believe" said Senator Bristow.
"thc evidence shows that corrupt
methods and practices were used; that
Senator Stephenson and his managers
not only corruptly used money to Sc
cure his election, but also fiagrantly
violated the laws Of the state of Wis
consin against corrupt practices in
the election. and that by mere techni-
calities they seek to avoid the re-
sponsibility for their conduct. Any
man who will openly violate the stat
,,tes of his state that have been passed
TO protect the honesty OF its elections
is not worthy OF a seat In this body, yet
tha primary question for the senate to
decide is not, were the statutes of Wis
consin violated, but did corruption in
the election Of Mr.. Stephenson actually
occur? :.

All Correspondence With Colombia
In Connection With Canal.

Washington, March 1.-THE con-
spiracy which resulted In the dismem-
berment OF the Colombian republic oc-
Cured in the United States with the
approval OF the highest United States
officials, and the spoliatfon was largely
in the interest of q combination Of in
fluential capitalists who controlled the
French Panama Canal Company" de-
clared Senator Hitchcock, Of Nebraska
in the senate today. Mr.. Hitchcock
was speaking in support of his reso-
luton calling upon the president for
the complete correspondence with Co
lombia in connection with the canal.
From this, he said. he expected the
people would know whether we are
honest and just and whether the time
has not come when we should act, the
part Of decency If not generosity
toward Colombia"
The senator assailed the Washington
governments course and referred to
what he said was blunt declaration
of Ex-President Roosevelt recently de-
livered in California that he took the
canal zone"
sensational and DissraeefuI Record
"It is not possible" he said, Ito lock
upsin official archives the sensational
and disgraceful record of our treat
me1lt Of Colombia, our braech of SOL
ernn treaty, our instigation of an insur-
republic
"The American people know that II
the 500 troops OF Colombia had been
permitted to reach the town of Pan
anna there would have been no revofu-
'tioi. This was done Notwithstanding
a solemn treaty Of peace and friend
shin existing between the United
States and Colombia's sovereignty on
tho Panama isthmus in return for GER
tain rights, which the United States
had secured there.
Constitutional Amendment Necessary
"The pretense for all this was that Co
loubIa had refused to accept the Unit
ed States terms as to the Panama
canal. We were proposing to buy from
the Panama Canal Company, repre-
sented by Cromwell and other New
York financiers. their rights to the
Panama canal. Whatever rights they
had came from Colon Bio. Our repre-
sentatives drew up q treaty under
which the United States was to buy
the company and secure rights in the
canal strip needed to perfect its title
Either government had the right to re-
iect the treaty. 1t was naturally rati-
fed by the United States. but Co
lombia finally rejected It because It had
no power to surrender sovereignty over
the strip without some amendment to
its constitution. Colombia was alb
solutely within her rights"
Senator Hitchcock referred to the
pending arbitration treaty as likely to
lead to entanglements with Great
britain and said he would like to know
why associations that .'are spending
Andrew Carnegie's money and some Of
the orators in his pay do not advocate
arbitration of this claim Of our sister
fepublic."

Five Children Massaersd.


San Francisco, March 1.-Bringins
first word of the massacre of eight
persons connected with Christian mis-
sions by fanatical Chinese outlaws last
October, twenty-four workers arrived
here on the liner China from the pro-
vince Of Shensi. in central China.
The victims Of the slaughter were:
George Alstrand, IS years old; Mrs
Richard Beckman, Selma Beckman
aged l2: Ruth Beckman, aged 8; Hulda
Bergstrom, aged 13: Oscar Bergstrom
aged 10: Hilda Nelson, aged IS; George
vantine, teacher At the mission schoo
at Sianfu.
The story Of the massacre was told
by Rev. Philip Nelson. father Of Hilda
Nelson.
In recounting the outrages Of the
Chinese Mr.. Nelson dwelt on the re-
markable escape Of Richard Beckman
who after seeing his wife and daughter
clubbed to death, waded into a lake
with his 3-year- daughter in his
arms and in the darkness escaped.
There were about forty persons
associated with the Scandinavian mis-
sion stationed in the city of PinchoW
at the time Of the massacre" said Mr.
Nelson. "Oct. 16 we started for Sianfu
to attend a meeting of the missions
there Accompanied by my wife and
daughter Hilda. and other missionaries
we arrived at Sianfu three days later
Hilda went out to the mission in the
southern suburbs in charge OF Mr.
Beckman, while we remained at an
other station. On Oct. Fl the band of
marauders responsible for the mas
sacre started out on their career of
murder.
The mission was one of. the first
places looted. The gates were stormed
at o'clock in the morning. The
Chinese surrounded the house. The
house was barricaded and the bandits
went on their way after setting fire
to the outer walls.
1.-THE women and children then hid
in an outbuidling while Beckman with
his little daughter sought refuge In the
shrubbery. Two Of the band returned
after little while, kicked In the door
Of the outbuilding and killed all those
who had hidden there.
From a. conversation he overheard
Beckman learned that he and his baby
daughter were the only ones left alive,
and heaters soon commenced to work
thru the bushes in search for him. To
escape them he waded to the middle OF
a shallow pond. where he was hidden
by the darkness. Later he made his
way to mission in another part of
the city.
"The bodies Of the slain children and
teachers were horribly mutilated and
lay where they had fallen for three
days"
