DEBBS SEES DOOM
OF MODERN SOCIETY

Terra Haute. Ind, Aug. 20.-Bitter
denunciation of Mrs. Stuyversant
Fish's ball at Newport last night,
when live butterflies and white doves
were freed in the reception hall, was
voiced today by Eugene V. Debbs, So
cialist nominee for president.
THE Sedley dinner and monkey
parties" he said, "foreshadow the
doom of modern aristrocracy. The
exhibition of morbid self conceite and
heartless defiance of the social mis-
cry of the masses has been given by
Mrs. Fish. description of this
riotous affair is well calculated to inn
press on the minds of thoughtless
people that there is something radi-
cally wrong with the country where
such a display of luxury can be
made within a stones throw from
where hundreds of thousands of men,
women and little children are strug-
Cling for mere existence"

Method of Unequal Assessments
i'm Washington.

Washington, Aug. 20.-Denuncia-
ton of the system by which the poor
of the Washington slums are made to
bear heavy burden while the mil
lionaires escape, was made to the
house today by the special investigat-
ing committee. The report asserted
that over-assessing small homes dis
couraged laboring men, resulting in
paralysis to building operations.
The report alleges that the homes
of August Belmont, Levi z. Letter
William Boardman, Lars Anderson
John H. Mclean and former United
States Senator William Acker, all
millionaires, are undervalued. John
McLeans country home, the report
says, is assessed at $2500 an acre, ad-
ding the land could not be bought
for $4,000 an acre. The improve
ments are assessed at $4,000, which
amount would not pay for the stone
walk in front of the property"

CAPT LORD DEFENDS
CALIFORNIA; CREW
Makes Public Statement of What Oc-
CURED on Ship on Night Of
Titanic Wreck.

Liverpool, Aug. 2O.-Hoping TO
show that injustice has been done by
accusations that he disregarded dis
tress signals from the sinking liner
Titanic, Capt. Lord of the steamer
California gave public explanation
today of all that happened on board
his vessel on the night of the dis
aster.
THE evidence is conclusive" Lord
says, that no responsible officer on
the California was aware that such
calamity occurred. The second Of
ficer, who did see signals, was the
only officer who saw them and 1
think l am justified in relying on his
judgment. Had the California been
the steamship seen by those on the
Titanic. 1t would have also been
sighted by the Carpathia. 1t is un-
thinkable that any seaman would will
fully disregard what he knew We're
the signals of distress"

RELAY OF RIDERS, RACING AHEAD OF FLO0D,
SAVED FARMERS WHEN WATER RUSHED DOWN
BUTTER CREEK; EXPERIENCE IS RELATED

That there was not any loss of life
In the recent cloudburst and flood
which devastated Butter creek valley
was due entirely to the fact that a
relay of riders raced ahead OF the
flood and sounded the warning which
enabled settlers and their families ia
flee to the hillsides, according Ia
James Nelson, one of the heaviest
losers by the flood. Mr.. Nelson was
In the city yesterday and declared he
owed his own life and those of his
family to Frank Chapman who ran a
mad race with the onrushing waters
and beat them to his place by a bare
quarter of a mile.

his horse, threw himself off, rushed

horses could escape and then reach
the higher ground before the wall of
water was down upon our house. II
Chapman had not have warned us.

Chapman, he declares, was sitting
on the back porch of his own house,
two miles above, when he saw the
water coming. He Jumped on his
horse and rode to the hills from where
he saw the house and barns swept
away and then, remembering the set
tiers below him. he spurred his horse
into a run and began a race with the
flood BY the time he had started
the water had passed him and he
was forced to ride around it over the
hills. Heading it, he descended into

quarter of a mile.
