u DIE WHEN GALE HITS SHIP
Florence Escape In Small Boat in
Raging Sea.

st. Johns. N. f., Dec. 24.-Twenty-
two men out of a crew of 81 OF the
freighter Florence of the Furness line
went down to death when the steamer.
which had lost its bearings in a dense
fog, was driven ashore off ST. Shott's
Friday night. Five OF the crew, Sec
ond Mate Hedley and four seamen,
who took the daring risk of finding a
shore landing for the others, escaped
death. These five, three of them car
rying the other two, dragged them
selves into Trepassy from the desert
ed fishing huts of st. Shott's Sunday
and then came to this city, where the
disaster was first reported.
Captain Barr, the British skipper OF
the Florence, ordered the mate and
the four men to sea at two O'Clock in
the morning, but by that time the tide
had swung from ebb to flow and the
gale, which had increased during the
night, had literally ground the vessel
to pieces. When the men finally found
a landing place and had climbed to the
top of a steep cliff they saw nothing
but a mass of wreckage where the
boat had gone ashore.

THIRD MESSAGE IS IN
TAFT REVIEWS WORK OF THREE
DEPARTMENTS IN DocuMF.NT.
Declares Lest Motion in Machinery
Of Government Cue to Lack of
Cooperation.

Washington. Dec. 21-Work In the
post office, interior and commerce and
labor departments and affairs Ia ths
District OF Columbia were reviewed in
special message. the third since the
short session of congress began. was
submitted to the two houses by Pres
ident Taft on Thursday.
Iranscending in interest what the
president has to say about the worl,
OF the departments mentioned, In his
direct recommendation in a sort O.
departments should be given seats or
the floor OF congress.
On this matter the president says:
i recommend the adoption of legisla
ton which shall make it the duty OF
heads of departments, the members OF
the presidents cabinet, at convenient
times to attend the sessions OF the
house and the senate, which shall
provide seats for them in each house
ard give them the opportunity to take
part In all discussions and to answer
Questions of which they have had due
notice. The rigid holding apart OF
the executive and the legislative
branches OF this government has not
worked for the great advantage OF
either. There has been much lost
Inotion IN the machinery due to the
lack or cooperation and interchange
OF views face to face between the rep
resentatlves of the executive and the
members OF the two Legislative
branches of government.
In the departmental section Of his
message President Taft speaks of the
recent placing of $4,000 postmasters
on civil service basis and says that
nothing could be further from the
truth than the charge that the change
was made for political purposes.
The president recommends revision
OF the land laws so that the interior
department can work to the ends oil
proper conservation Of the natural re-
sources Of the country
The trust question in the enforce
ment of the Sherman antitrust law ia
gradually solving itself, is maintain
ing the principle and restoring the
practice of competition, and if the law
is quietly but firmly enforced, bust
ness will adjust ITSELF to the statutory
requirements, and unrest in corame--
cisl circles provoked by the trust
discussion will disappear"
IN writing of the work of the agri-
cultural department the president
discusses agricultural credits He
says: THE secretary OF agriculture
has made an investigation into the
matter of credits in this country, and
l command consideration OF the In
formation which through his agents
he has been able TO collect 1t does

lance of the proposal. but it gives

BEET SUGAR FATAL TO BEES
University Professor Declares There
Is Chemical in Product Which
Kills the Insects.

Madison.-That beet sugar is ia
tai to bees and cane sugar is not is
the conclusion of Prof. J. G. Sanders
at the department of entomology,
University of Wisconsin, who next
semester will have charge of a new
beekeepers' course at that institution.
OF the 40 per cent of the bees of the
state which died last year, a large
percentage were starved, he says. He
believes that bees can live on cane
sugar, but die at once if fed on beet
sugar. The danger to bees in beet
sugar, he believes, arises from some
chemical constituent that makes it
deleterious. He said the time is com
ing when an investigation will be
made, and intimated he would not be
surprised If beet sugar was found to
be harmful to human beings.

LAKES Cause Surprise.

Janesville.-There is considerable
dissatisfaction among the early tax
payers to learn that aside from the
increased valuation of their property,
due to the reassessment year ago,
they must also pay the difference be-
tween their old assessment for 1911
and the reassessed value, as well as
their share of the expenses of reas-
sessment by the state totaling ST.
$3.50. There is also complaint over
the income assessment. In several
cases persons on small salaries pay a
nominal tax, while men reputed to be
worth 100000 or more pay but a
few dollars more and one man whose
income is estimated at $4,000 a year
pays nothing.
