Simple and Straightforward


Mr.. Underwood did not indulge in the
usual flights of oratory 50 dear to the
hearts of minor politicians. Neither did
he endeavor to appeal to the preiudices
of any particular classes in the audience
He contented himself with a plain, busi-
nesslike speech worthy OF any statesman.
in which he discussed the issues Of the
campaign calmy and dspassionately. His
address was essentially a review of the
work of the present democratic adminis-
tration at Washington, with which he has
been so closely and actively identified.
He stated he was not in Selma
or Dallas county for the purpose of mud
singing, but only to discuss his plat
form and the assertions which had been
made Saturday night by his opponent. In
all Of his assertions Mr. Underwood
backed them by the printed reports in
the Congressional Record. Often during
his address Mr.. Underwood was inter-
rUpted by applause that lasted for min
utes. The greatest demonstration fol-
lowed his presentation to his Selma au-
dience by Hon. w. b. Craig, the encore
that followed lasting for fully nine
minutes Following his introduction Mr.
Underwood in his own easy and fluent
manner spoke freely, and the first few
sentences won the hearts of his auditors.
Manner Convincing
In the most convincible words and
manner he told of the work he had per-
formed by answering rolll calls at the
daily sessions of Congress-. This work
he illustrated in facts and figures. and
every reference or assertion he made he
referred to the Congressional Record to
prove the accuracy of his assertion. In
plain language that carried message
with the telling he told of his record In
Congress. He touched upon the absentee
ism Of his distinguished opponent and Of
the many times when he did not answer to
the roll call of his party when it was
necessary. The prohibition question was
dealt with in convincing manner by Mr..
Underwood. BY this part Of his address
he won the hearts of the prohibitionists.

cessation of the difficulties that have
beset the city since the worst snowstorm
in it's history descended upon it Sun
day night.
A resumption of the blizzard would be
fatal. since It would prevent relief from
the food scarcity which the city now
faces. Rain would seriously complieate
the situation because flood conditions
then would ensue.
AS the result of the disturbed state of
the lake. a new menace day developed.
The drinking water has turned to the
color OF coffes and warnings were is

crushed to death by the collapse of the
roof of his house beneath the weight OF

Tidy Up City
The work of tidying up the city was
made possible this afternoon when the
snowfall ceased for period Fifteen
hundred workmen succeeded in putting ID
city street car lines in order, and others
probably will be running on schedule by
tomorrow.
In the meantime telegraph and tele-
phone companies cleared away part OF
tho wreckage resulting from the destrue-
ton of poles, and established a few
connections with neighboring cities. The
work of rehabilitation so far has de-
veloped that the vortex of tho blizzard
was limited to an area of some 80 miles
around Cleveland
Telegraph, telephone hnd railroad COM
panies hope to return to their normal
service tomorrow.
The hospitals are greatly handicapped
Some have experienced lack of proper
food and others have had TO do with can
die light.
Not until the snow clears away will
the police be able to solve tho mystery
of numerous disappearances reported &c
them.
Business men and factory owners esti-
mated the loss In business to wholesale
and retail companies at many millions of
dollars A great part of the citizens are
unable to leave their homes.
The streets are impossible for wagons
and undertakers are unable to remove
the bodies of persons WHO have died
since the breaking of the storm. The
bodies of seven persons. who have died
at hospitals since Sunday night. have
not yet been taken to morgues, several
more are being held at the city's correc-
tion farm, and even private funerals
cannot be held. as the bodies cannot
be taken to the cemeteries.

Detroit Mich. November 1.-THE worst
blizzard of the season, which ragged over
the great lakes for IS hours, started to
subside today, and as the waters wash
ing eastern Michigan grew calmer they
began to cast ashore their dead. No one
perhaps will ever know how many sailors
lost their lives and ship owners sade to-
day that while it may take a month to
definitely total the damage, 1t was certain
that shipping on Lake Huron and the
Detroit and st. Clair rivers suffered n
loss of several hundred thousand dollars.
Tonight, guarded by wrecking tugs. the
black bottomed freighter which tosses In
Lake Huron keel upward was still an in-
identified derelict Marine men who re-
turned to Port Huron late today believed
she was the steamer j. M. jerks. How
ever, William Livingstone, president OF
the Lake Carriers association, dispelled
that belief tonight when he announced
the jerks was safe in a harbor In Geor-
gian bay near Midland, Ontario.
Not American Steamer
Mr.. Livingstone said men from the
wreelking tugs were able to approach
close enough to the derelict to examine
her hull ''They found several peculiari-
ties of the construction which indicated to
them that the steamer was not of Amer
lean build" said Mr.. Livingstone. AS her
beam Is only about 45 feet, the vessel GER
tainly could not be more than 800 feet
long. That, Mr.. Livingstone said, clint
mates rumors that she might be one OF
two or three big freighters not heard from
since Sunday. She may have been a fax
carrier, he said.
I'VE have hopes of Identifying the
freighter tomorrow" Mr.. Livingstone
added. washington today ordered the
revenue cutter Morrill, to the assistance
of the derelict instead Of going to Lake
Erie to search for missing lightship No.
S2 We understand the cutter will stand
by until the name of the freighter is
known"
Sunken Vessel Sighted
The report received today from Alpena
that the captain of the steamer Alpena
sighted a sunken lumber carrier in Lake
Huron brought varied comments from
marine men. 1t was generally believed
that the boat sighted by the Alpena and
the unidentified freighter are the same.
Three bodies were found on the west
shore of Lake Huron today, two near
Port Frank and one above Point Edward
The latter probably was that of sailor
1t was reported that a card bearing the
name, u. NJ. Jenks,' was found in his

men on lake carriers.

THE FIRE TODAY

The fire today was at the intersec-
ton of the S. A. L. Railway with
\ First street, and was extinguished
with only the loss of part of the roof
When the firemen reached the fire
the roof of the house was in a blaze
and they surprised themselves by
saving the house. The property, a
large and very tall two-story house,
is>owned by a colored man, Richard
Dickinson. The firemen used the
chemical engine and the water hose
as well, 1000 feet of the latter be-
ing laid and used.
Ks the department raced out Ex-
position street, it crossed the track
of a line of log wagons coming up
South Orange. One of the wagons
held up to let the auto engIna go by.
then the driver started his team
ahead just in time to meet the hose
wagon as it came full tilt. The two
teams collided, and the harness was
torn clear off one of the fire horses,
but no other harm was done to him.
The mules of the log team were
knocked sideways, but were not
much hurt.

ON HIS WAY TO THE ASYLUM
Thaw VIII Probably be Handed
Over to His CuStOdians
Today

Coaticook, Quebec, Sept 5.-Har-
ry Thaw was not ''railroaded" across
the border by the immigration au-
thorities yesterday as counsel had
predicted. A special board of inquiry
sat in his case from 10 o'clock in the
morning until late in the afternoon
and then adjourned until $50
o'clock this morning.
Unable to show that he had come
into the Dominion at any recognized
port of entry, Thaw virtually was
convicted of entering by stealth. On
this charge alone he can be deported.
But on this charge he could appeal
to the minister of the interior, while
there would be no appeal should he
be found insane. If found of I'M
sound mind, the board can deport
Thaw direct to the New York line.
This would mean swift return to
Matteawan. Conviction on either of
the other two changes would mean
deportation to Vermont.
