OFFICIALS BLAME FIREBUG.
Destruction of Tug OFF Cramer Hi
Brings Them to That Belief.

Camden, N. j., April 4.-That the
destruction Of shipping in the wharfs
Is the work of a "1rebug'' was the de
cision reached by officials after the
Anthracite, al ocean going tug, was
destroyed off Cramer Hill.
Owen McGoyern, engineer of the tug,
was aboard when the fire started. He
thought at first that some one through
carelessness had dropped a match or
some other fire making material in the
boat.
McGovern says he started to fight
the fire. He tried to smother it with
blankets, but 1t broke out in various
places. He was alone and the ship
afre. He did all a mar could do to
save the tug, but finally had to swim
ashore to safety. His arms and face
were burned in his vain efforts to undo
the work of the tirebug.
Chief Grosvenor said that he will
keep a patrol of men watching the
shipping here.

PROGRESSIVE VIEWS.
Governor Wilson Writes on the initia-
tive, Referendum and Recall.
Especial Correspondence

Especial Correspondence
Richmond, Va.-The following letter
from Governor Woodrow Wilson of
New Jersey to Professor II. H. Dab
ney of the University of Virginia is
published In the Richmond Times Dis
patch:
My Dear Heath-We did not have a
chance when I was with you to have our
talk out about the initiative. referendum
and recall. 1t may be worth while, there
fore. in view of the Importance Of the sub
1ect, for me to summarize somewhat more
formally What l said to you In scraps.
In the first place. with regard to my
own state of mind, l surrendered to the
facts, as every candid man must My
whole prepossession-my whole reasoning
wa against these things, but when l
came into contact with candid, honest,
public spirited men who could speak with
regard, for example, to Oregon from per-
sonal observation and experience they
f1oored me fiat with their narration of
what had actually happened. l found in
the men who had advocated these things.
who had put them into operation and who
had accomplished things by them, not
critics or opponents of representative SOW
eminent, but men who were eager to re-
store 1t where it had been lost, and
who had takeu-successfully taken-these
means to recover for the people what
they had unquestionably lost-control of
their own affairs.
In short, they were not trying to change
our Institutions The initiative, referen-
dunn and recall wore to their eyes, as they
are to mine, merely a means to an end,
that end being tho restoration of the con-
troll OF public opinion. Where opinion al
ready controls, where there is now actual,
genuine representative government as ]
believe there Is In Virginia and In the
south In general, they are not necessary.
Each state must Judge for itself. I do
not see how It could be made a subject of
national policy. The people will, IN my
| opinion, demand these measures only
where they are manifestly necessary to
take legislation and the control Of admin
| i.trative action away from special, hope
lessly entrenched interests. They are no
general or universal panaceas.
The recall of judges I am absolutely
against and always have been. 1t is a
remedy for q symptom, not for a disease.
the disease being the control of the sys-
tenn by influences which general opinion
has ceased to control.
1t interested me very much to find that
even In Oregon literally no ono thought
OF these new msthods Of action as a sub
stituts for representative institutions, but
only as a means Of stimulation and con-
troll. They are as devoted 80 the idea OF
our representative institutions as We are
and are bent upon realizing these ideas In
practice. That Is their conscious object.

27 STOWAWAYS
In FROM ITALY
Boston Authorities Believe
They Are Dangerous Men.

Boston, April 4.-TWenty-seven 1tal-
ian stowaways, among whom are said
to be some of the most dangerous
criminals in southern Italy, were found
concealed in one of the water tanks
in the forehold of the White Star line
steamship Cretic when she was locked
at Charlestown.
The officers had been on the outlook
for them in consequence OF informa-
ton conveyed to Deputy Superintend-
ent Of Police Watts In a letter sent
him last month by a fast steamer from
Naples. Two Italian interpreters on
board the steamship were arrested In
connection with the charge Of a con-
spiracy to smuggle the aliens In viola
ton Of the immigration law, as well
as to defraud the stea mship company
Of its passage money.
The stowaways were placed In the
detention pen at Long wharf, where
they will remain until Monday. Then
they will be deported.

c. P. Rodgers Falls at
Long Beach, Cal.

Long Beach, Cal, April 4-Withir
600 feet of the point where he last fal.
finished his record breaking tr|ansconti,
mental %aeroplane flight Calbraith p
Rodgers, the New York aviator, fell tc
death while making a practice fight
The cause of his fall is unknown. He
was merely making a tryout flight and
not attempting any of the dangerous
fancy flying that he had done on many
of his exhibitions.
Rodgers had been making trial
fights daily In preparation for his east
ern engagements. Before he started
into the air he tested his biplane care
fully. 1t appeared to be in perfect con
dition. "Well, I'll show you a few
dips" said Rodgers as he seated him
self in the biplane. Waving his hands
to his friends p | casual spectators
who had gathered, Rodgers arose
swiftly and headed over the breakers.
He was approximately 900 feet above
the breaker line when the biplane, tilt
Ing sharply, began dropping. Rodgers
made a frantic effort to head toward
the pier, but was unable to control
the plane and 1t fell into about two
feet of water. The impact crushed the
machine and Rodgers was caught be
meath the w%reckage. He suffered sew
eral fractured ribs, Internal injuries
and possibly a broken neck. He lived
scarcely three minutes, dying just as
he was carried into a long bathhouse
near the spot where he fell.
Calbraith Rodgers was the first avia-
tor to accomplish a transcOntinental
fight. He few from S~heepshead Bay
Sept II and landed at Pasadena Nov.
5. 1t was estimated hat in the fifty
days he covered 1921 miles, exceeding
Harry Atwood's record by 1852 miles.
Rodgers was scarcely known as an
aviator when he started on his great
tr~anscontinental fight. He began his
lessons at the Wright school in Day
ton June, 1910, and was granted a
pilots degree by the Aero Club Of
America Aug. 7 of the same year. Rod
gers met with several accidents.
On his last trip to New York Rod
gers said 'only a d. fool would fly
except for money"
Rodgers was born in New York on
Feb. u, 1870. He was a cousin OF
Lieutenant John Rodgers, U. S. n.
who is also an aviator, and a son OF
the late Captain Rodgers, U. S. A. He
was also a grandson of the late Com
modore Perry.

SMALLPOX in Berkeley County.

There is a good deal OF alarm in Berke-
ley county over an outbreak OF smallpox
among the laborerS employed in the sew
eral quarries of that section. The first
case developed was that OF a colored man
named Taylor al the Blair quarrieS. lay
lor, it is thought, brought the disease
from Cumberland. Several cases were
later found at the Security plant, a case
developed two miles from HedgeSvile
and another in the pine hills four miles
west OF MartinSburg. Saturday more
cases were discovered at Blair On Fri
day the home Of Harry Washington, at
VanclevesviIle, was Quarantined. DR..
Henshaw, county health officer, is in
charge OF the situation, and is enforcing
rigid quarantine, but he says that the con-
dition is serious and that the people should
take every precaution if the loathSome
disease is to be stamped out.
A report was circulated that the Gov
ernor had been called upon to furnish
troops to enforce quarantine, but this was
untrue. The Governor was asked TO al
low the use of tents for the isolation OF
suspects, and this request was granted.
We are informed that there is no case
OF smallpox in MartinSburg.
