I.awrence.-While standing on
gangway leading into one OF the city
bath houses on the Merrimac river. 80
BOYS were plunged into 10 feet OF
water by the sudden collapse OF the
gangway supports. Eleven bodies
have been taken from the water.
On the shore, thousands OF people,
among whom were mothers and faith
ers. sisters and brothers or boys who
were thought to be lost, watched each
move of the grapplers. Now and
then some mother whose son could
not be found among the hundreds OF
boys along the shore. was overcome
by grief and had to be led away.
Every police officer in the city and
scores of firemen were detailed by
Commissioner OF Public Safety G. +.
Lynch TO try to keep the crowd away
from the temporary morgue which
had been set up at Wards boathouse.
At last Il became necessary TO move
the bodies TO undertaking rooms,
where throngs of mothers and fathers
inst out of the mills viewed the bod
les. Several identihcations took
place In this manner
The accident happened just before
the opening OF the bath houses for
the afternoon session. William Blythe,
the aged and crippled keeper OF the
bath house. was approaching from MS
home preparatory 10 unlocking the
door. The gangway leading to the
bath house was black with ciamorlng
Youngsters. some of whom were
partly undressed. The slow approach
OF Keeper Blythe was greeted by loud
cheers and many Of the youngsters
began dancing up and down, swaying
the gangway.
Suddenly there was cracking or
timbers. the gangway swayed for a
moment and then parted. Forty
boys were pitched into the water.
Others clung TO the sides OF the gang
way. Screams for help came from
every direction at once and the po-
lice and fans at Riverside Park dur
ing the Lawrence-Lowell game ran to
the spot.
There is swift current at this
point. drawn by the falls, quarter OF

caught In this. Many OF them could
not swim. Witnesses on the river
bank say that all disappeared, but a
moment later there was struggling
mass on the surface. The e'ronger
ones who could swim struck out

Of the number saved themselves.
Their cries brought aid and several
were pulled ashore. Five unconscious

two of these were finally resusci'ated.
Futile efforts to restore the others
were made.

PROGRESS IN FORESTRY
Forestry Officials Claim Progress De-
ponds on Public.

Washington, Nov. 17.-"Progress in
forestry depends more upon what the
public permits than upon what for
esters and lumbermen perform" This
is a conclusion of the forestry commit
tee, as expressed at the conservation
congress today.
AS a consequence" the committee
goes on to say, public education is of
prime Importance, and the best me-
thods OF educating the public demand
special study. Since no one else has
the interest or the requisite forestry
knowledge, foresters and lumbermen
must learn this trade or profession in
addition to their own.
1T is not forests, but the use of for
ests, which we seek to perpetuate and
therefore to be sound and convincing
education must include knowledge
of the lumber business" Es1l
In presenting some Of the education
al devices the committee commended
particularly the booklets gotten out by
various forest fire protective associa-
tons. Another device is paper
drinking cup to be folded by children
each fold telling pictured story of
the growth of a forest fire, and of the
evils of its effects. Still another is a
match box legend which points out
that while a match has a head it can
not think for itself, but is dependent
on the thought Of the user to keep it
from doing harm in the woods.

FRENCH CANDIDATE FOR SENATE
Will Shy His Castor In Ring as Can.
didate From North Idaho.

WashingtOn-COngr Burton L.
French of Idaho, will be a candidate
for United States senator against Sem
| ator Brady next year. He will not
make formal announcement Of his
candidacy at this time, but through
| friends his purpose was made known
| Tuesday.
| No surprise will be aroused by Con-
gresham French's indirect announce
ment of his candidacy for the senate
| Since the votes of the last general
election were announced it was a
| fOregOne conclusion that sooner or
later the congressman would inform
the voters of Idaho that he aspired to
the senate.
At the election Of last year Con-
gresham French received 53,542
votes. This was the highest vote cast
for any candidate Of any party for
any office in the State. French was
the only candidate for any office on
any ticket to get majority of all the
votes cast. The total vote for presi-
dent was 104,203 French beat his
highest opponent for congress on the
Democratic ticket, Mitchell, by 1884.
He beat the head of his own ticket,
President Taft, by 20,732.
1t is clear from the returns that
Congressman French received many
BullMoose votes, because Roosevelt
received 25,530 votes for president,
while P. Monroe Smock, running on
the same ticket, but against French.
for congress, received only 1906
votes. This is taken to indicate that
$4,000 Bull Moosers voted for French.
On the surface It would seem that
French's candidacy for the senate will
cut into the candidacy Of Chief JUS
tice Ailshie, as both come from the
same section of north Idaho. 1t was
freely charged last winter that
French had 1t in his power to nomin-
ate Judge Ailshie to fill out the unex-
PRED term of the late Senator Hev-
burn, but refused to permit his
friends in north Idaho to go to the
chief Statesman.

1t is rather amusing to note the
wonderful claims made by the beet
sugar companies Of the great amount
bf wealth Jumped together which they
nave paid to the raisers in this state.
They very carefully refrain from CIV
ing the total acreage from which the
beets were grown so that any fair es-
innate can be made of the net acreage
profit. They are equally careful not
to say anything about the wear and
tear on the soil which rapidly goes
back when put under sugar beet culti-
walton. 1t is true that large sum of
money is paid into this state every
year by the sugar companies, but it is
also true that the sugar beet raiser
pays pretty dearly for the privilege of
furnishing the sugar company with its
source of revenue.

ANOTHER VICTORY FOR LINDSEY.
Ben B. Lindsey, Of juvenile court fame,

his struggle with "The Beast in the
Jungle" as his foes in Denver are
collectively called by the crusader and
his friends. The other day commit
