This city felt the full effect of the
storm. Houses were blown or washed

acted on the coast off Seaside, N. J..
There two boats were driven ashore.
To the mast of one of the vessels
three men were clinging. The Forked
river life-saving crew tried desper-
ately to reach the men, but the force
of the gale and the vast waves drove
them back. The men were seen TO
drop one by one into the boiling sea
and disappear
While the life savers were toiling In
the terrible sea they prayed that gov
eminent vessels summoned might
come in time, but none appeared soon
enough to render any assistance.
Though Seabright was the heaviest
sufferer from the storm, heavy dam
age was caused in neighboring towns
by the gale and flood. When all sec

go over $1.000,000. Sewer systems

Refused Citizens Alliance Aid
for Families of
Disaster.

Chicago, Dec. 2S-Charles II. Meyer,
president of the Western Federation
of Miners and now the central figure

of the dramatic incident In which he
declares he was shot, mobbed and de.

result of his wounds, and was taken
to st. Luke's hospital.
When Meyer arrived on a Chicago,
Milwaukee & st. Paul train his head
was swathed in bandages and his
clothing torn and stained. A bullet,

his back, near the left shoulder. A
bulletin stated that Mr.. Meyers con
dition was serious, but with small
likelihood of becoming critical unless
complications were met in extracting
the bullet.
On his arrival in Chicago Mr.. Meyer
was accompanied by Charles II. Tan.

THE mine owners wanted to get

Romano Fielding has very defin-

feature picture which depicts labor
and capital as it might be in 1850
He took me up onto the hills back
of the town and showed me the army
of men he was using in some of the
scenes; and the airship which he had
fitted up with a cannon at the rear
of it, as a 1850 war vehicle.
And now about Romano Fielding

He is director, manager and often
star player in one of Lubin's most

He has entire charge of the COM

discretion, picking suitable locations
for the unique feature pictures for
which he is so noted.
He writes all his own scenarios,
working into the wee hours of the
morning often, so that he can take
advantage of weather or location, or
carry out some certain plan in mind.
He doesn't know what fatigue means
and he expects his co-workers to
have the same ignorance of that
term.

DIARY OF FATHER TIME
With the joining of steel on the
newest and most northerly transcon-
tinental railroad, the Grand Trunk
Pacific in Canada, sometime next
spring, scenes attending the compile
ton of the Pacific Railroad, the first
transcontinental, in 1869 will be re-
called. AS the construction work pro-
ceeded, / remember, transactions in
real estate in cities and towns that
sprang up mushroom-Gke were fast,
furious and uncertain.
Everything that looked solid was a
sham. Red-brick fronts, brownstone
fronts and stucco walls were made
ready to order in Chicago and shipped
in (pine) sections. Ready-made
houses were sent out in lots, boxed,
marked and numbered, half dozen
men could erect a block in day and
two boys with a screwdriver could
put up a house in few hours. If
business deserted the merchant or
the town moved on, all he had to do
was to pack his store in sections and
ship it to the next town.
The driving of the late spike was
announced by telegraph, all operators
throughout the country being in
structed to keep open circuit, the taps
on the golden spike being sent as dots
to every point. When the last blow
was struck, at Promontory Point,
Utah, the word Done" was sent, and
in every city in the country elaborate
celebrations were held, lasting in
some cities for two or three days.

Lieutenant Becker of New York, for the second time,
 has been sentenced to the
 electric chair.
 What crime did Becker
 commit? Did he crimaon his
 hands in human blood?
 No. Becker was an officer of the law, and was paid by the city of New York to see to it that the law was revered. But why has Becker been sentenced for the second time to the electric chair? He did not commit murder himself, but he hired men who made Ia business of killing, and for this crime the law demands that Becker shall forfeit his life as the penalty.
 Lieutenant Becker of the police force of N. Y. hired professional assasslns to kill Rosenthal, 8 gambler, because the material interests of Bee kermade it necessary that Ro seminal should be removed:
 John D. Rockefeller and
 his saintly son have likewise
 hired scores of professional
 assassins to murder men, Wo men and children in the state
 of Colorado. Rockefeller and eon hired these nlan-killerS to protect their material inter- ests, just the same as Lieut.,
 Becker, who felt that he would be materially injured sho,1]d R 1senthal be permit

Vice-President Marshall, in a speech some time ago made the statement that when the Social ists quit waving the the red flag and cease their opposition to the
 church. he would throw in his
 lot with them. The Vice. President probably meant what he said, bnt he showed himself wofully ignorant of the Socialist philoso- phy, and at the same time reveal led q lack of sympathy with the past struggles of the oppressed
 classes. It is quite certain that the Socialist movement will not abandon the use of the red flag, nor will it lay down to the church and be swallowed up by capital ism.
 Of course MT. Marshall is strong on patriotism and knows that adherence to the red flag is destructive of that much vaunt- ed sentiment, and weakens resr pect for his beloved stars and stripes. And it does, but it has the same effect in the case of avery other flag and nation. The

 Rocke feller and his son; hired gunmen to kill strikers because the strike affected their material interests, but Rockefeller and his son have not been arraigned in court and sentenced to the electric chair. Why?
 Becker hired gunmen to murder a gambler, and he is. sentenced to death. Rockefel- Ter hired gurmen to murder strikers, and the President of the United States makes a pathetic plea to the man who hires murderers, to settle the strike. Why the difference?,
 Becker is not a millionaire. Becker lacks the economic power to be a potent factor. in the invisible government that dominates and controls the functions of government.
 Becker is not a magnate in finance, industry and com- merce, nor has he behind him the powerof Wall Street..
 Rockefeller and Go. can commit the same crimes as Becker and escape with im- punity, simply because the power of Mammon makes servants of the people forget every principle of justice.
