PIER DEATHS MAY REACH 40.
Hundred In Hospitals - Councilman
Says City Is Guilty of Murder.

SaJS S'ey 10 Ne"hJ VI
Long Beach. Cal, May 26.-'In my
judgment the death of the thirtythree
persons in the pier disaster was whole
sale murder. The pier was rotten.
There was no arrangement for the
handling of the enormous crowd. The
people were allowed to group them
selves into such solid compact mass
that the crash was inevitable. The city
is guilty of murder"
In this fashion John Topham, a coun-
Gilman of Los Angeles, who narrowly
escaped death In the collapse of the
municipal pier at the British Empire
day celebration, places what he con-
siders the responsibility for the ter
rible loss of life when hundreds of per-
sons crashed through two foorings Of
the pier to the sand below.
1t is impossible to give a definite
number Of the persons injured, but
they amount to more than a hundred.
Many are in the hospitals In a condi-
ton that makes recovery impossible.
1t is feared that the death list will
grow to at least forty within the next
twenty-four hours.

TARIFF HEARINGS NEAR CLOSE
Democrats Have Sent Out Questions.
To Amend Bill In Senate.


Washington, May 26.-Although the
oral hearings on the tariff bill before
the senate finance committee will close
tomorrow. the Democrats have sent
out list of questions to be answered
by manufacturers aud others as to the
anticipated effect ON them of the I'm
derwood bill.
If replies made under oath are re-
ceived to these questions before the
bill is reported to the senate they will
be printed. but neither a report nor
final action will be delayed awaiting
them.
That the senate will make a number
of changes in the bill Is now apparent.
In the main these will not be material
or be at variance with the general pur-
poses of the bill.
Whether free wool and free sugar at
the end OF three years can be held in
the senate is still a matter of conjec-
ture. Neither Senator Newlands Of
Nevada nor Senator Walsh of Montana
nor any of the other advocates of wool
and sugar duties except the Louisiana
senators will definitely announce that
they will stay out of the Democratic
caucus.

Who gladdened we'll each Pilgrim heart
When, guided by an ancient chart,
There came that small, God-fearing crew
Here's to the Turkey,
That bird of gorgeousness and pride
Who strutted through the virgin wood
When, for a hrmer brotherhood,
Our forbears worked and fought-and died

How often through the early snow,
Some sturdy Pilgrim sought to STAY
Thee for his feast Thanksgiving day,
But fell before the Red Mans bow

Than this -plumaged egotist,
Feathered in bronze and amethyst,

OF the original Winchelsea is on the

which was the seat of the govern

Poets of Patriotism.
From the New York World.

FROM the new Ork world.
For the first time the Noble prize in
literature goes to man with a dusky
skin. But the blood of Rabindranath
Tagore has the same warmth and
color as that of other poets who have
sung of human aspiration. Previous
winners of this prize-Sully-Prud-
homme. Bjornson, Mistral. Echegaray,
Sienlewicz, Carducci, Selma Lager
lof, Heyes-have been in their several
ways writer's of purpose and patriot
ism. Maeterlinck and Anatole France
are the mystic and the cynic of the
group; Mommsen and Eucken its his
tory What genius it requires to
overweight that disadvantage.
In his boyhood Mr.. Tagore was sent
by his father not to a school special
izing in sports and aristoeratip assoc
Citations, but to contemplate the
Himalaya mountains that their gran
deur might inspire. noble thoughts.
Perhaps they did; the burden of his
mature verse has been love of country
and longing for it's deliverance. Unto
that heaven of freedom he sings.
my Father, let my. country wake"
The freedom he longs for is spiritual
more than political, else he would
scarcely he such power among his
countrymen. The Noble committee
has been right in rejecting from the
first the heresy of art fer arts sake.
Great literature is made by keen in
tent upon progress in virtue and free
dom. not by selfish. shrieking maniacs
like Stringberg and Nietzsche. nor by
trihers polishing rhymes of loves and
doves. Who would write noble liter
ature must have noble aim. In
