 T want to say one word" he be- gan, about certain men in Utah who are whining that they cannot support me because they have given their pledge to President Taft to support him.

STEAMER CUTS BRIG PRACTICALLY IN TWO
Seven Men and Captain Are Rescued From the Dis
 abled Vessel

Savannah, Ga. September 13.-With seven men, captain and crew of the British brig Seeptre on board. the British steamer Roseland, Captain Disney, made this port tonight with story of collision at sea and the loss of the brig. The sailing ship. un- der command of Captain Burke. was bound from Lunenburg. N. &, for Ponce, with fish and lumber. At 3 o'clock Monday morning, September 3, in fine weather the bow of the steamer Roseland suddenly apeared in the dark ness, crashed into the brig's side and practically cut her in two.
 That no lives were lost is said to be due to the fact that the vessels clung together a short time after the collision and the members of the brig's crew, some of them just aroused from sleep scrambled aboard the steamer. The brig was a total wreck and the steamer, seeing that she must go down within short time, steamed away on her course. The Roseland was from Huelva, whence she sailed August 26. for Savannah.
