Cruiser Memphis Is Lost
Result of Sudden Ground
Swell in San Domingo


San Domingo, August 29.-The United
States armored cruiser Memphis was
driven ashore on the rocks of the outer
harbor today by great and sudden
ground swell 1t is said that many lives
were lost as result of the disaster. All
fires under the boilers of the Memphis
were extingushed by the thrush of
water.
The United States gunboat Castine
managed to escape by putting to sea.
The United States cruiser Memphis
formerly was the armored cruiser Ten
last. Recently she has been doing duty
in San Domingo waters in connection
with the revolution.
The Memphis is of 1850 tons and has a
horsepower of $4,000. Her complement is
800 men. She is the flagship of the
cruiser force of the United States At
lantic fleet.
Washington, August 29.-Rear Admiral
Pond at San Domingo City cables the
navy department tonight that the
armored cruiser Memphis, swept upon
the rocks by a heavy sea in the harbor
there today, would be a total loss, and
although it was expected all on board
would be saved, 20 men returning to the
ship from shore leave in a motorboat
had been drowned.
Admiral Benson explained that the con-
struction of the Memphis is such that
she probably would withstand a great
amount of pounding, allowing for rescue
of those aboard. He said he was puzzled
over how the accident occurred, since
officers of the ship had been warned
early today of the approach of a tropical
storm.

OFFICIALS DECLINE
TO MAKE STATEMENT
ION STRIKE PROBLEM
No Embargo on Railroads
Entering Birmingham
Has Been Placed, But
Is Expected

Officials of the railroads and members
OF the brotherhoods here maintained the
utmost reticence yesterday in their state
ments regarding the effect the threatened
railroad strike would have on Birming-
ham and Alabama. The officials of the
roads decline to make any statement or
pi edictions for publication, although
some of them profess to more or less
hopefulness that in the event the strike
is called, the disaster will not be so
great to the people as it has been painted
So far as could be learned yesterday
and last night none of the roads en-
tering Birmingham has issued any orders
placing embargo on perishable freight.
1t was reported on reliable information
yesterday afternoon that officials of the
Southern railway and allied lines were
expecting such an order to become eff
fective after "a hours, but no orders nave
been issued yet, according to statements
made last night by President Fairfax
Harrison.
w lille officials of the railroads decline
to be quoted for publication, they profess
to believe that if the strike should come
they would be able to run enough trains
to keep the people from suffering. How
ever, the opinion generally seemed to be
that no matter what plans the Officials
may have made for the operation OF
trains the troubles which have been pre-
dicted almost universally since the situa-
ton became critical, would be upon the
district and state within a few days
Officials of the brotherhoods seen yes
terday did not care to be quoted for pub
|lication, but they seemed to be IN
thorough accord with their representa-
tives who had expressed Willingness to
accede to the proposals first laid down
by the President, but who had announced
that no further concessions would be
made All realized fully the gravity of
the situation and were of the opinion
that if the strike took place, few trains,
if any, could be operated.

RECORD OF HUGHES

from the shoulder.
RECORD OF HUGHES
1t is said to be definitely determined
by the President to go into the record
of Mr.. Hughes. AS is recalled, the judge
when governor of New York, strenuously
opposed the idea and principle embodied
in an income tax. He was adverse to
putting share of the burden of the
government on the shoulder of wealth.
And-he vetoedaa bill which provided
that women, engaged in Identical govern
ment wor,. as men, must be paid as much
money as men. This fact, 1t Is believed,
will cause the suffragettes of the coun-
try who have Endorsed the republican
nominee to pause. 1t is thought too, that
this fact will prove that Mr. Hughes,
having vetoed a principle advocated and
insisted upon by women, revealed him
self an opportunist when he declared over
and against his platform for equal suf-
frage through a federal amendment. II
action speaks louder than words" then
Mr.. Hughes has suffered himself to be-
coma tneffably involved.
BALANCE OF POWER
But argument from democratic and
Republican standpoint is as the foam on
1.-THE sea. AS stated, the result will be
determined by that faction in American
politics which holds the balance of pow
Roosevelt out of the republican fold in

AS to what the progressives will do

|clare that the bulk of the real progress
|sive vote, that represented by the men
who stood for principle rather than the
hope of spoils or the furtherance of tho
ambition of an ego-maniac, will be cas-

EDELWEISS GARDENS
The fate of EdeIweiss Gardens
rests on a referendum of it's neigh
bOrs.
Mayor Thompson's Office has sent
to 1000 people who live in the vicin-
ity of the gardens return postal cards
on which he asks three questions:
Do you want the saloon license of the
gardens revoked? Do you want
amusement and restaurant licenses
granted? Do you object to "EdeI-
weiss" being used as a name for the
place?
1t is said that upon the verdict Of
the people will rest the fate of the
gardens, formerly known as Mid"
way Gardens,
