side the law The letter. q copy of which has been received over the frontier, will be published in Spain, il is understood, as soon as Sanchez Guerra leaves the country for France where he intends to make his per manent residence.
 Reviewing the history Of the royal house, the former premier declares that, upon the death of Ferdinand VII In 1888, the liberals supported his daughter. Elizabeth II, only be cause she gave her oath to uphold the constitutional and parliamentary principles.
 Alfonso XII continued this policy, he continues. and the present king, his son, was proclaimed sovereign only because he promised to main tain the oath of hls ancestor. By in terruptinE the constitutional and parliamentary life of Spain, Sanchez Guerra contends, Alfonso has no longer any legal base on which to support his throne.
 Ills mOnarchy, the former premier writes. ''is illegal before God and before the law, because it only rep resents minor branch of the Bour- bon family, as the major branch is embodied in Prince Jaime of Bour- bon. who is it's actual representa- tive"
 It Is stated that the former pre- mier will live in France on his sa lary as counselor to a French corpora tion. As a former premier of Spain he is entitled 10 an annuity Of 10.- GOO pesctas, but this will probably be terminated when he leaves the country.
 By his letter, Senor Sanchez Guerra ranges himself with the Carl ists, or those supporting the claim Of the lineal descendant of Don Carlos to the Spanish throne. Prince Jaime, the present pretender. grandson Of the original Don Carlos. was born at Nevey, Switzerland, in 1870 and makes his home in France.

Chicago, Sept IA R-The mid west looked in vain today for relief from the thrcc-day heat wave which the weather bureau has predicted will continue through Thursday.

 Eight deaths were reported here where the mercury touched % de Srees. equalling the all-time record for September established in 1900. The reading was so degrees at 10 o'clock last night, and beaches were throngcd until after nightfall.

RAYAGES OF STORM
 COMING ID LIGHT
Story Of Another Hapless
 Schooner Learned Today

Halifax x. s, Sept II LP, Grim indications that the storm which r"ept the North Atlantic on August i took a higher toll of life and shipping than has .ct been realized continued to mount at this port.
 The latest of d number of such al|Icos to reach C. H. Harvey, local gent for the marine and fisheries department, was in the form Of q "Ire.ns5 message from the steam raWler Loubyrne which told of dis ter 10 another haplcsa schooner.
 The Loubyrne messagcd that in latitude 43.3S north and longitude tI.0i west. her travis had brought 10 the surface 30 feet of a schoon- or's keel.
 Tine keel was copper painted but bore no marks of Identification. It was apparent 10 the finders. how eyer. that the piece Of wrcckage was of recent origin. The splintered 'dgcs showed no signs of long i'm mcrsioa.
 Mr. Harvey anxious that those on Sable Island might identify to the greatest possible extent any wrackage that may be discovered or had been picked up previously, ad- ris"d the superintendent there today explaining that Nova Scotia schoon- CTS are timbcred with spruce and pine, closely laid, while the Amer ican fishing vessels are timhered with c1k. bolted together but not closely laid.
 The Island replied that debris in cluded spruce and oak hatch painted gray. q dory marked Col umbia" and a dory marked Eva C, Rose" There were also parts Of other dorics driftcd ashore but without marks of identification.
 The Gloucester schooner C61um- hia has been reported since the storm. but it was believed possible that one of her dores may have been washed overheard. The Eva C. Rose was believed to be either a New England or Newfoundland schooner.
 Practically all hope has been abandoned for the schooncrs Clay ton Walters Mahalla and Joyce C. Smith, all Luneuburg vessels, and their crews of GO mon. The first two carried practically all Lunch burg men but those on the Smith were mainly from Newfoundland.
 Anxiety is felt for the Luncuburg schooner Ida F. Corkrum with 20 other men aboard. The Corkrum was believed to have been near Sable Island the graveyard Of tho Atlantic, during the storm, and no definite news Of il has been received since.

DENIES REPORT
OF SEGREGATION

WASHINGTON. d. Co. Aug. TO-
Reports of the extension of segre-
cation of colored employees in the
pension bureau were denied Tues
day by Interior Department Off
cials.
According to reports. all colored
clerks in the pension bureau were
put to work together in the filing
division on August L. Four colored
pension examiners had been segre-
gated from white pension examiners
on July 10.
c. II. Finley acting secretary of
the Interior, denied that there had
been any move to segregate colored
employees in the pension bureau.
DIR. Hubert Work. secretary of the
Interior, is in the West on official
business.
The first knowledge he had con-
corning any separation of colored
and white employees in the pension
bureau came from reading colored
newspapers, Judge Finley said. He
made inquiries concerning the
change, he stated, and was inform
ed that there had been two colored
pension examiners in one room and
two in another and they had been
moved. They made complaint of the
change, he said, and the possibility
is that they will be put back where
they were.
Regarding the file room, he stated
that he had been advised of the
promotion of two colored employees.
One was made chief of the filing
division and the other assistant
chief. He had no knowledge. how
ever, of any general segregation of
colored employees in the pension
.bureausAs ~
Weeare nee segregating colored
people," Judge Finley said. "we

tor working in the same room with

The report is not true, e. w.
Morgan, deputy commissioner of
pensions. declared. He denied that
there had been any segregation. He
said that there had been some re-
organization of the pension bureau.
I'VE thought possibly we were CIV
ing better positions to some colored
men, but IL they do not want them
We will not force them to accept"
He said that John II. Cook had
been promoted to chief of the files
division and Edward w. Brooke and
