System Is Revelation.
American travelling men who remain

declared today that the organization
of the Red Cross in the stricken city
was a revelation.
Notwithstanding the innocent as

Every householder whose house was
comparatively uninjured is welcoming
his less fortunate citizens to the scanty
hospitality that can be provided and
every residence Is crowded to the limit.
But through the unglassed window
openings the gale sweeps unabated,
bringing untold misery to even those
who are partly protected from the ele-

Most Windows Gone.
Glass is sorely lacking in Halifax,
nearly every window in the city
having been shattered in the blast

destruction. In some instances tar
red paper has been pressed into SER

Wrapped in blankets, quilts, bed
spreads and rags those who have been
unable to find shelter roamed the
streets. There is not suit Of
clothes in Halifax which Ii not in

some garments gladly giving them to

Rescuers are digging desperately in

Washington. Oct. 13.-:"Grossly
false" is the term used by Senator

In his letter to the committee Sen.

portunity to examine witnesses before
the committee and to present his own
testimony regarding any statements
of fact questioned.
Permit me to say" wrote. La Fol-
lette, that if it is the purpose of the
committee to make an investigation
as to any statement of fact i'm the
speech, that request that the COM
mittee advise me what statement of
fact Is called into question and in what
respect its correctness is questioned.
Furthermore, if any issues of fact
are to be raised by testimony concern
ing any statements in the speech, then
l ask to be accorded the right to ques-
ton anyone so testifying and that be
permitted to call witnesses to meet
the testimony which may be so Of

WORDS LOST THEIR FORCE
schwab Should Have Spoken Into
Photograph, He Is Told, When
Discussing His Speech.

A banker who was told that Charles
NJ. Schwab, the president of the Beth
lehem Steel works. was one of the
most forceful speakers ever heard at a
banquet table, said he believed 1t, and
then told this story:
About the time that Schwab was
buying Bethlehem steel, and had made
arrangements With Piny Fisk of New
York. to handle the bonds, he went
over to- New York, and, of course, was
entertained ut dinner. There he
made one of his most forceful utter
ances. Mr.. Fisk was moved to such
an extent that he said to MI. Schwab:
'"That will sell the bonds. Only, you
should write it out for me when you
return, so l shall have an accurate
statement"
Mr.. Schwab wrote out his remarks
as soon as he got back to his home and
sent them to Mr.. Fisk.
Mr.. Fisk saw him soon afterward,
and said: "Why didn't you write me
what you said?"
II did," responded the steel master.
II wrote the exact words"
"Well." answered Mr.. Fisk, much
disconnected, ''you should have spoken
them into monograph"
