New York, Nov. 1.-Governor VIII
son speaking last night before an
audience that filled every corner of
Madison Square Garden, received the
greatest ovation of his campo gn as
the democratic nominee for the presi-
dency.
Entering the hall at Oil o'clock,
after speaking before an enthusiastic
audience in the Bronx, he stood for an
hour and three minutes at the railing
of the speakers platform, waiting for
the demonstration to end.

demonstration such as we have wit
messed tonight" he said, with deep
fee ing, as he finally made himself
heard. yet l am the more thrilled
because l realize that it is the demon
stration for a cause and not for

The governors motion for quiet
brought only renewed cheers. Chants
of I'VE Want Wilson" shook the hall
and twice when the cheering had part

newed vigor by young women, who
forced their way to the front of the
speakers stand and inspired the big
crowd to fresh efforts.
Governor Wilson spoke extempo

The bill amends the Interstate
commerce law by giving specific au-
thority to the commission to deter
mine and prescribe what will be the
Just and reasonable general or uni
form classification of freight, both
individual and joint applicable on
interstate commerce throughout the
United States governing the descrip-
tions of articles transported by and
the regulations and practices of the
carriers subject to the provisions Of
this act. g.
1t appears also that almost every
year for dozen or fifteen the ma
tional convention of commissioners
has approved of the idea Of giving
the interstate commerce commission
power to make this uniform classi-
fication, and it has been urged on
congress and the statesmen many
times, but never until Senator'S Ken
yon and Cummins took hold of it has
anything been done looking to really
giving the relief. Now the bill has
been reported to the senate and
probably will be passed.

THE new HIGH
SCHOOL BUILDING
Work is Now Well Under Way
Front Entrance Erected Fri
day Afternoon.

Now that the difficulties with the
quick sand have been overcome the
work on the new high school build
ing is progressing rapidly. The
foundation is all in and the walls Of
the basement are fast rising. These
walls are being faced with the regu-
lar square paving brick put together
with red mortar and make a very
neat appearance. The paving brick
will be used up to the windows of
the first story and the red pressed
brick in the rest of the building.
From the window frames already in,
it would seem that the board has
looked we'll to the lighting Of the
building. The partition walls in the
basement are all completed and
workmen were busy yesterday after
noon putting up the white stone en-
trance on Des Moines street. If work
continues to advance as rapidly as 1t
has the past few days, the new build
ing will certainly be ready for use
by the beginning of the year.

LOCAL AUTOMOBILES
HAVE A COLLISION
VIM. Arnold and Chas. Cheney Cars
Meet in Tunnel of Viaduct
on Illinois Central.

The automobiles belonging to VIM.
Arnold and Chas. Cheney, who re-
sides north of the city, are both
standing in local garages today
awaiting repairs as result of a col
lision that occurred Sunday at the
east viaduct on the Illinois Central
railroad.
Mr.. Cheney was coming into the
city from his farm and the Arnold
car, with Mr.. Arnold's son at the
wheel, turned at the crossing to sc
north. The machines met with a
crash that unseated both drivers but
did not injure them in any way The
Cheney car is not badly damaged
but the Arnold machine had one
fender torn off and is otherwise in
need of repairs The viaduct Is one
of the most hazardous places in the
city for drivers to turn, but this Is
the first accident that has taken
place at that corner for the past two
years A billboard on either side OF
the turn, warns drivers to blow
their horns before entering the tun-
nell However, some complaint has
been heard of autoists going through
without blowing horns or giving no
tiee of their presence in any way.

A PLEA FOR THE
kenyon MEASURE
Iowa Sends a Joint Note to the Rail
way Commission Asking
Cooperation.

Des Moines, Aug. "a joint note
has been sent to members of railroad
commissions in the United States
asking that they get back OF the
Kenyon bill to give the Interstate
commerce commission power to es-
tablish a uniform classification for
freight In the United States. This
joint note proceeds from the Iowa
commission and that of Minnesota,
Wisconsin and Illinois.
The fight to get the bill through
the senate in the next ten days is
going to be a determined one, and
Senator Cummins who has charge of
the bill will win unless the pressure
from the railroads in opposition is
sufficient to stand in the way of con-
sideration.
The commissions joining in the
note declare their belief that in view
of their experience with classified
tion No. 81 the work of making a
uniform classification of freight for
the United States can only be sue
cessfully performed by the govern
ment itself, acting through the in
terstate commerce commission,
There is now possibility OF secur-
ing for the commission adequate
authority and facilities to perform
this task"
A copy of the Kenyon bill went to
each commission with request that il
approve the same and urge the SEN
ators to support it and to forward
to Senator Cummins copies of letters

A large crowd of at least five hum

services at the Oak Glen church
Sunday afternoon when six candi-

received the holy rite OF baptism by

the banks of the Boone river near
the church and people came from all
the country round to witness the
baptismal service. Mrs. Copeland,
who has been conducting the tent
meetings in this city for the past

was a very impressive and profitable

Mr.. Banks wished to go from Bath
to Boston by water and was due to
leave that place on the "City OF
Rockland." However, on that morn
ing he received a message from Mr..
Young at Rockland, asking that he
wait and that they go together on
the Belfast" This Mr.. Banks con-
sented to do and had 1t not been for
this, would have been among the
survivors instead of the rescuers.
According to the reports of the local
men the steam ship disaster was ter
rible. 1t seems that they had left
land on July 20 and had been on the
water until about midnight when
the assistance call was heard by the
watch on board their ship. Owing
to the exceeding darkness and the
fog it was impossible for the Bel
fast to go to the assistance Of the
wrecked ships until it was light
enough to see. At about o'clock in
the morning the Belfast made her
way to the injured ships. The pas
sengers on the Belfast were awak-
ened by the noise and confusion and
stood on. the decks watching the
awful sights. Many of the shattered
ships people were clad only in their
night clothes and blankets, having
left their state rooms at the time Of
the crash. After much maneuvering
the Belfast managed to pull up to
the wreck close enough to allow the
passengers to cross to safety. owing
to the rather severe weather and the
fact that the ocean water is always
very cold many OF the ill fated
ships people were in serious phys
ical condition and the local men as
well as many others vacated their
state rooms in order that they might
have the proper care. In all there
were almost 400 men, women, and
children who numbered among the
rescued. This includes the crews OF
both ships, two Of whom were not
found and probably perished in the
water. So.

swallowing strychnine. while in a
state of dependency.
The death of Mr.. Young, 1t is
thought, took place some time In

which the family have lived for sew

of desire expressed by him to die,
and this was the second attempt OF
the kind that has been made. Sew

failed and he was taken to Colfax
where 1t was hoped that the treat

him back his usual health. Howev-
er, this seemed to have no effect on
him and he returned to HIS home.
Later he went to Des Moines for
treatment, and returned seemingly
