DEATH ALMOST CERTAIN.

Chicago, Sept. 16.-Five naval ap-
prentices were drowned and five are
missing as the result of the capsizing
of cutter from the United States
Naval Training Station at North Chi
cago, Ill. The bodies of six Of the vic
Tins were recovered and identified
and it is believed that the five boys
unaccounted for were drowned
The five identified are: r. C. Har-
Ian, Is years old, Bloomingdale, Ind;
I. L. Southworth, Is years old, 31121a
Jane Street, Pittsburg; J. Wallace, Is
years old, Turner, Ind; W. N. Autro-
bus, 21, 80 Regent Street, Indianapo-
lis, Ind; J. Patton, %, Stanton, Ohio.
The party left the training station
in charge Of Gunner's Mate Meagus,
and after cruising about a couple of
hours the cutter was headed for
North Chicago.
SquaII Strikes Boat.
A few minutes later, while the cut
ter was north of Lake Forest, squall
struck the boat, the sails were low
cred and an anchor was thrown into
the water. Gunner's Mate Meagus, it
is said, planned to let the cutter ride
out the storm, but the waves soon
were running so high that the boat.
dragged it's anchor and gradually was
being driven onto the beach.
When within 200 feet of the shore,
the cutter was overturned by the
wind and waves and it's occupants
thrown into the water.
Captain w. F.. Fullam, Commander
of the Naval Training Station, saw
the danger Of the apprentices from
his headquarters and sent a motor
boat to the rescue but this craft was
capsized before it had gone far and
the men in charge of it were obliged
to swim back to the shore.
Aid in Rescue Work.
Later force of men was sent along
the shore to where the cutter had
been wrecked and every effort was
made to rescue the apprentices.
Many of the boys were able to
swim ashore. Several battled with
the wind and waves and finally foated
ashore on oars and pieces of wreck
age.
A number were rescued from the
surf by officers of the training station
and cared for at houses near the
scene of the wreck.
1t was reported that several of the
boys were unable to swim and became
seasick soon after the squall struck
the cutter.

CANAL TO Be Oipii.1 IN A YEAR
EARLIER DATE is OFFICIALLY
MADE KNOWN.
Atlantic Fleet Will Be Assembled Al
Colon Before Water Is
Turned In.

Washington, Sept. 16.-The Panama
canal is to be opened to traffic in the
fall of 1913.
This statement was made officially
at the navy department with an an
nouncement that the Atlantic fleet
would be gathered at Colon this win
ter before the water is turned in.
The navy's estimate is based upon
the latest report from the army en-
gineers
Secretary Meyer, after consulting
with the isthmian canal commission,
discovered that construction work on
the canal had progressed so far that
unless action was taken Immediately
there was a probability that the men
pf the fleet would have no opportunity
to examine the connecting link be-
tween the two oceans before it was in
operation. The visit of the fleet will
include railroad trips for the men
throughout the canal zone.
The date for the opening of the
canal originally was set for Jan. 1,
1915, and engineers for some time
had doubted if the engineering diff
culties could be overcome to permit
completion of the. work by that date.
The remaining work is said to offer
few obstacles.

DOUBT CAPTURE STORY.

New York, Sept. ia secret aJOnn
Doe investigation of the circumstances
surrounding the arrest on Saturday
night of "Gyp the Blood and Lefty
Louie" two of the four gunner who
are alleged to have slain Herman Ros-
enthal, the gambler, has been begun
before Justice Golf.
The purpose of the investigation, ac-
cording to Acting District Attorney
Moss, is to determine whether the 20.
lice suppressed or destroyed any evil
dence, particularly letters duplicating
the two men in the murder and when
and how the clues to their where
abouts were obtained.
Another matter which the prosecutor
said was being investigated was
whether the police examined the two
gunner and their wives at any time
before the arrival OF Mr.. Moss at po,
lice headquarters Saturday night. In
this connection the district attorney
has learned that contrary to the story
told by the police that they burst
into" the apartment, there were no
signs on the door Of the gunmen's flat
that force had been used.
Max Kahn, held as a material wit.
ness, may face a serious charge, Mr..
Moss said. Kahn was identified in
court by Krese, the waiter, who has
made several other important iden-
tifcations, as having been near the
Hotel Metropole at the time of the
murder. The prosecutor indicated that
he would lay before the grand jury on
Thursday evidenee bearing upon
Kahn's conduct from the date of the
murder to the date of his arrest.

Hot Springs, Ark. - A number Of
persons who talked to Sam Schepps
when he was detained here in connec.
tion with the Rosenthal murder will
be interviewed by District Attornel
Whitman of New York, who has just
arrived here. These interviews will
be merely a forerunner of the hearing
to determine if Schepps told some
persons here that Police Lieutenant
Becker of New York was the victim
of plot and then stated to the dis
trict attorney that Becker instigated
the killing of Rosenthal.

Minneapolis. Sept. 1.-THE second

The State had it's first experience with

SEED CORN CAMPAIGN.
Week Set Aside For Picking Best Of
Crop.

Minneapolis, Sept. II. Seed corn
week is on and from now until Sat
urday night Minnesota farmers will
be importuned to select their seed
corn for planting in the spring. The
governors proclamation setting aside
a seed corn week was issued as re
suit of the difficulty so often felt in
past years in the selection of proper
seed.
The following hints on the selection
of seed corn have been issued in cir
cular form by the extension division
Of the College of Agriculture:
1. Select mature and well-ripened
ears; this is essential.
2. Avoid all large ears; they al.
ways ripen late, and select ears that
are of normal size.
3. See that the rows of corn are
straight on the cob

The Trees Of Washington.

While 1t may seem a pity to cut down
large trees that have stood in the streets
OF Washington for years, to make room
for saplings, this Is, after all, the best
way to keep up the standard of the cap
ital as the city OF shade and summer
comfort. Most OF the trees that are being
removed are old and would in a few
years in any circumstances become de-
crepit. It Is better to take them down
now than to wait until they are blown
over by a high wind. possibly endanger-
ing life. For q time a street where this
work has been done looks denuded and
strange. but In a few seasons the young
trees will have begun to give shade and
soon they will be much more beautiful
than the ones that they have replaced
It has been suggested that perhaps a
good plan In the replacement Of old trees
with new ones would be to cut out every
other old tree, 80 that on every street
there would be some shade while the
young growth was reaching maturity. BY
this plan, however. the city would never
have its full tree equipment. There
would always be gaps between the adult
trees. It is probably better to clean out
along an entire stretch and replant, and
thus to give the street the benefit later
OF . uniform growth OF healthy trees.
1t u vitality important that in the selec-
ton Of treeas varieties be adopted that

der the direction OF the Commissioners
during cleanup week to make certain
that the securing process is carried
through every nook and corner in the
District. The Board Of Charities, the
Washington branch OF the National
Civic Federation, the American Civic
Association. the Associated Charities,
the Instructive Visiting Nurses So
ciety, the Y. NJ. C. A., the Y. W. c. A.
and the Boy Scouts will also take part
In this crusade for the health OF the
capital.
With such an organization 1t will be
possible to scour the city throughout.
Every dirty stable can be cleaned and,
what is better yet, put in condition so
that 1T need not become again source
of danger to the health of the neigh
borhood. Cellars and back yards can
be ridden Of their rubbish. Vacant lots can
be freed from the trash that accumu-
lates during the winter Mosquito and
fly breeding places will be especially
sought for purposes of cure, and In
every way Washington will be searched
for chances to effect an improvement.
Perhaps one of the best results OF
such a city-wide cleaning will be the
educational effect. By keeping the en-
tire community aroused for an entire
week to the fact that filth breeds dis
ease and that 1t can and should be
cleaned. a material gain will be made
toward establishing a high standard OF
individual cleanliness in the capital. No
matter how clean Washington is made
during the week beginning Monday.
April Is, it will not get the full bene-
fit Of its enterprise unless 1t is kept
clean. OF course. by securing out all
the dirty corners and cleaning the
stable pits the eggs of countless num-
bers of flies will be destroyed. 1t is
impossible by one such period Of sani-
tation to insure good health through
out the remainder of the season. The
Star hopes to present to the community
by this means an object lesson in gen.
eral sanitation that will have lasting
effects and make Washington ulti-
mately, through the example thus set,
the cleanest and healthiest city in the
United States.

Cleanup Week.

Last summer under the inspiration
Of The Star the boys and girls Of
Washington conducted a vigorous and
successful campaign against the fly
and destroyed great number Of those
insects. undoubtedly to the material
Improvement OF the community's
health. This year The Star proposes a
week Of city cleaning. to begin April
IS. for the purpose Of lighting the fy
at the source by securing out all the
breeding places and incidentally giving
the city q thorough scrubbing for gen.
eral sanitation.
In another part Of The Star today
will be found the formal announcement
of this project. 1t is proposed to or
ganize all the agencies available for q
general cleanup Of Washington. The
Commissioners OF the District have
welcomed the idea and assured their
cooperation and that of all the de-
partments OF the District government
which bear upon the health of the peo-
pie. The ministers Of the Washington
churches will lend their aid and urge
the members Of their congregations to
work in the interest OF q cleaner
Washington. The children OF the pub
lie schools will be enlisted In the cam
paign and will without question prove
efficient scouts In the discovery of
places that require attention. The Board
of Trade and the Chamber Of Com
merce and all the citizens associations

will grow rapidly, but that will at the
same time possess sturdy qualities. The
city trees are under many disadvantages.
Their roots do not have full chance to
spread, being held down on the one side
by the street pavement and on the other
by the sidewalk. Leakages from gas
mains affect their health. Sometimes
electric currents reach them from con-
duits and overhead wires. Horses bite
their bark and small boys break the
limbs. A city tree that grows to ma
turity. therefore. must have strong vital
ity and should be most carefully chosen
at the outset, with all the circumstances
Of its environment taken into considera-
ton. Among the most satisfactory of
the trees in Washington are the hard
naples, suffering least from diseases.
The elms and lindens do not thrive very
well here. The sycamores and planes
grow rapidly and make good shade, but
are dirty trees and, moreover, are
subject to diseases that shorten their
lives
