GALE BRINGS DEATH OH [?aM SEA Destructive Storm Sweeps Coast and Lake Regions. _ mm, a ...All t THE THOMAS W. LAW^UN luoi England Also Suffers in Blow That Sweeps With Damaging Force Along Her Coast ? Estimated That Forty Perished. New York City.?New York caught Ihe end of a world-wide storm. There have been gales all along the English coasts for the last few days. The Thames Valley is flooded. Small craft have suffered severely. The giant seven-masted schooner Thomas W. Lawson, named after the Bostonian, turned turtle off the Scilly islands. Fifteen sailors lost their lives in that wreck. Communication by wire between n ^ Prtnfinonh was cut I ?iiigiauu auu iuv off to a great extent. A great deal ^ of cabling from London to Paris was done by way of New York: The London Dr.ily Mail, for instance, which gets out a Paris edition on Sunday, wanted to get English news over for its Paris edition. Its direct telegraph and telephone wires were out of commission. The "news was cabled to its correspondent in New York, who refiled it by cable to Paris. All the other English news designed for the French, papers had to come mostly by way of New York. New York got her end of the storm in a heavy nor'easter, which blew at /the rate of sixty-five miles. Compli' cations of snow, hail and heavy rain continued throughout the day and k v part of the night. The American bark Edmund Phinney went to pieces on the sands of the Hook, although her crew were saved. b The Pacific fleet in Hampton Roads suffered severly. The storm swept up the Atlantic Coast, snow and hail playing havoc with telegraph lines. Both telegraph companies bad difficulty in establishing communication in any direction. Eastward from New York communication by wire was almost impossible. A single wire fo Boston was all that remained of the scores of trunk lines through New England. North, south and west there was trouble in communicating by rail. All traffic by rail or water was impeded. Six coastwise steamrSps that set sail for Southern ports ..urned back. The White Star liner Arabic, in from England, reported heavy storms all the way across. A dozen or more Jersey towns were J in darkness because of the blowing I down of the electric light poles. Chicago, 111. ? The b ggest storm j i known in Chicago in years struck the city, tying up transportation facilities of every sort. Snow plows were used ^ by the traction companies*in an ef? > Ht . fort to clear their tracks, but the ra* pidity with which the snow fell and drifted made it necessary to go over \ the lines several times before the tracks could be used. Boston.?The storm in this vicinity started in with heavy snow at noon, which by night had blocked the street cars and held up traffic of all sorts In the evening the snow turned to rain, which crushed down the slush laden telephone and telegraph wires Vow T^rnflnnri Tpleerra lUlUUgUVUb A?w?? ^ ? 0 - e phic communication was almost entirely cut off. The storm was the fiercest that has been known on the Rhode Island coast in years, and the work of the crews of the Quonchontaug and Watch Hill life saving sta, tion, who battled bravely with the surf from noon to midnight and rescued all the persons on the tug Hercules and her five barges, is highly commended. The PleasantviewBeacb is strewn with wreckage, and it is thought that not one of five craft can ; be saved. London.?'The gale along the Brit ish coast, which was described by Captain Jameson, of the steamship St. Louis, as the worst in his experience, subsided. It was responsible for the loss of at least forty lives, so far as is at present known, the mino; wrecks including a vessel seen to founder in the Channel off Swanage. , with a loss probably of her crew ot seven. Hughtown. ? George Allen, ol Bradford, England, who was one oi the three^ survivors of the schoonei Thomas W. Lawson, wmcn was capsized in Broad Sound, Scilly Islands, died next day. Captain Dow, of the Lawson, told of his experience aftei being washed from the vessel. When he found that his ship was driving upon the rocks and nothing more cculd be done he distributed lifebelts and gave the order to the men to save themselves, if they could. He advised them to climb into the rigging, which they did, but the vessel soon broke up. MAINE BANKS' SHOWING. Business Increased, Despite the Flur* ry, State Examiner Says.

Farmer Seventy Years of Age Sees the Xegro Murderers of His Wife Pay the Death Penalty. Trenton, N. J.?At dawn twc young negroes, Charles Gibson and stepnen jjorsey, were eiectrucuieu a.i Trenton State Prison for the murders of Mrs. Francic Horner and Mrs. Vitori Natoli. Amoni those present at the double execution was Edward Horner, Mrs. Horner's husband. He is seventy years old. He let it be known, after the event, that he considers electrocution a travesty on Jersey justice. It was too quick and painless to satisfy him. The crimes for which Gibson and Dorsey died were committed last August at Horner's farm, near Colllngstvood, Camden County, N. J. Horner's barn was fired in the night, and while he and his men were out fighting the flames his wife and Mrs. Natoli, her "hired girl," were murdered and the house looted. The murderers crushed AV ~ Trrlf V. Ill tut; S>K.U1IS> KJL LiiCli lUJO n luu c*u axe, and got away with two gold watches, $4 and Horner's revolver. Gibson and Dorsey were arrested in Camden a few dayr. later and pawn tickets for the stolen articles were found in their possession. Gibson had once been employed by Horner. Among other evidence adduced at his trial was a statement made by him that he would "get even" with Horner for discharging him. Tte two negroes had spent the night praying and singing. - Gibson was led in and killed at 5.55; Dorsey followed him at 6.03. Gibson was quickly strapped to the ectr and his death was accomplished so expertly that the spectators did not know he was dead until they were told. The chair was still warm from him when Dorsey was bound to it. He, toe. entered eternity without a struggle, and his body was unstrapped within two minutes. All that had indicated his- transition from life to death was that he had stopped singing a hymn in the middle of a word. Horner had very little to say after the executions. He buttoned hie overcoat to his chin, pulled on his gloves and said that he guessed he'd be going for his train. Then he added: "So that's what they ckll capital punishment for taking human life! The rope was better. It was slower." ENJOINS LABOR'S "UNFAIR LIST" Sweeping Decision Against American Federation Rendered. Washington, D. C.?By a decision announced Justice Gould of the Equity Court of the District of Columbia enjoined the American Federation of Labor, with its membership ol z.uuu.uuu or more, irom uuycui.ting the Buck's Stove and Range Company, of St. Louis, and from printing in its official organ the company's name in "Unfair" and "We Don't Patronize" li3ts. The decision arraigns the action of the federation as an illegal conspiracy. The injunction, while temporary, was allowed in a decision in which Judge Gould exhaustively reviewed the case, and said there was no room for argument as to the conspiracy alleged being established. The question of a permanent injunction will come up probably next spring, and, whichever side wins,, the case will be appealed to the Supreme Court of the United States. LORD KELVIN DEAD. The Noted Scientist, of Glasgow, Scotland, Leaves No Heir. Glasgow, Scotland.?Lord Kelvin, inventor of the modern compass and sounding lead, noted scientist, is dead. For several weeks tne great mathematician, had been confined to his bed. He leaves no heir and his title becomes extinct. Lord Kelvin's early name was William Thomson. He was born in Belfast on June 26, 1824, and was a son of James Thomson, professor of mathematics in Glasgow University. Kelvin was educated at the university where his father was a professor and also in St. Peter's College, Cambridge. He was graduated from there with honors, attaining the distinction of being Second Wrangler, 1845, and also a First Smith's Prizeman. Explosion of alabama mine. Terrific Impact Hurls Timbers Out of Shaft's Mouth. Birmingham, Ala. ?r Advices from Yolande indicate that about sixty men met death by the explosion in the mines at that place. Within an hour after the explosion seventeen men had crawled out of the mine, all burned. Thirty-five dead bodies have been recovered. While officials of the company are j hoping for the best, the rescue party is forcing its way into the mines. It I is feared that few of those still entombed will escape death. The explosion was below the second sub-entry. There was a terrific impact, the force of which blew oul dust and timber in great quantities destroying small buildings near by and landing some distance away. Square Mile of Chicago Goes "Dry."

( * I I ^ AU R GREAT FLEET ST/ MILE CRUIS _ _ -7? ^resident Kooseveit ado* ; Mighty Array of Hampton Roa MOST NOTABLE MAVALPAGEA! i . i ' Old Point Comfort, Va.?The best i part of the American navy, sixteen first-class battleships, under command ; of Rear-Admiral Robley D. Evans, sailed for the Pacific Ocean?a 14,000-mlle cruise which has set all the world talking. Parading in review before the President of the United States, and saluting as they went, the ! stately white vessels weighed anchor, i and steamed out from Hampton Roads, past the famous old Virginia Capes, and were soon lost to view on tne southeastern horizon, filmy columns of smoke being the last visible vestige of the departing fleet. They sailed at ten knots' speed, headed for j the eastern end of tb& West Indies. After threading their way among the reefs of those islands, the fleet will bring up at Trinidad, completing the first stage of its journey. The fleet sailed from its anchorage eoon after 10 o'clock. There was not the slightest hitch in any detail of the carefully planned program.

With the President were Mrs. Roosevelt, Miss Ethel Roosevelt, Secretary of the Navy and Mrs. Metcalf, Assistant Secretary of the Navy and Mrs. Newberry, Rear-Admiral W. H. Brownson, chief of the Bureau of Navigation, and Mrs. Brownson; Rear-Admiral and Mrs. Cowles, and Lieut.-Commander and Mrs. Simms. The fleet was formed in two columns, the first lying nearest shore, to the northward, headed by RearAdmiral Evans* flagsiiip Connecticut, and the second, headed by Rear-Admiral Thomas' flagship Minnesota, paralleling it off shore. The first squadron was formed as follows: First division?Connecticut, Kansas, Vermont and Louisiana; second di vision, Rear-Admiral Emory commanding?Georgia, New Jersey, Rhode Island and Virginia. The second squadron was composed of these vessels: Third division?Minnesota, Ohio,. Missouri and Maine; fourth division, Rear-Admiral Sperry commanding?Alabama, Illinois, KearBage and Kentucky. The Mayflower proceeded to anchor ; In the middle of the fleet. There followed a brief reception on board the yacht, the President having a farewell message for the four rearadmirals and the sixteen commanding officers making no speech. The occasion, he felt, did not require one, as the setting out of the fleet is regarded merely as a detail of naval practice and training. But to the Central Bank Advocated by Comptroller Ridgely. Washington, D. C.?Comptroller of the Currency Ridgely, in his annual I report makes a strong plea lor the establishment by the Government of a i central bank of issue and reserve. Such a bank, according to the Comptroller, would not only solve the great problems of the banking system, but would also provide the machinery for conducting the Treasury 1 operations in their relations to the ? banks with the least disturbance to business interests.

Pacing the quarter-deok In hi enthusiasm, and smiling In charac teristic fashion, the President fre quently would exclaim: "Did you ever see such a fleet? am such a day? It ought to make us al feeljproud." Just before Admiral Evans left th Mayflower to give orders for the flee to get under way, the Preslden called him aside and the'two wen in earnest conversation for nearl; five minutes, during which the adml ral's head was dipping afflrmatlv nods as though acknowledging In structions. During the reception the Preslden sent for Seaman William Chandler coxswain of the Louisiana's launch and told him to convey to the men o the Louisiana his special greetings The Louisiana is the Bhip on whlcl the President and Mrs. Roosevel made their return trip from the Isth mus of Panama.

After the embarrassei coxswain had taken his leave,- th( President said: "I teil you our enlisted men an 'everything; they are perfectly bully and they are always up to everythini required of them." Each departing admiral and cap tain was wished "the best of luck, olc fellow, and good-by." Then for a journey of nearly tei miles the President, as commander in-chief of the American army am navy, led the long line of battleship! out irlto Chesapeake Bay. They fol lowed his flag to Thimble Shoal light five miles inside the capes, where th< Mayflower turned aside and droppei her anchors for the final review. A a naval pageant, the review and de parture of the fleet were the mos notable in American history.

Smith Not Criminally Responsible, Says Court fudge Directs Jury to Find Vcrdict Exonerating New York Central's General Manager. New York City.?The trial of AlIred'H. Smith, vice-president and gensral manager of the New York Central, for manslaughter in connection with the wreck at Woodlawn on February 16, in which twenty-three persons lost their lives, came to an ab. *upt ending when Justice Kellogg instructed the jury to return a verdict ,of not guilty. Thus ended a trial which attracted attention throughout the country as the .first in which a serious attempt was made to hold a high official of a railroad responsible for the acts of subordinates. Justice Kellogg in his charge anKlyzed the testimony, and said he did not believe one man capable of per sonany supervising sucn a system ito the New York Central. Some of his 1 powers, said the Justice, had to be delegated - .to subordinates, and to hold the general manager guilty of criminal negligence would be gross Injustice. Justice Kellogg said the 5 technical testimony was of little value as against the testimony of practical engineers. "It was humanly impossible," said the Justice, "for this deifendant to know every switch, block signal circuit and curve of the system. Of neIcessity, the most he could do was to provide a general scheme for traffic and the safety of passengers. He must delegate some duties to others. "I take it that we have not a great t many complaints to make against the * railroads. They seem to serve the ? poople fairly well. But there are altogether too many accidents on railf ways. This Is unfortunate. I hope 2 that the general officers of such roads will take the matter in hand. I ? think this case has brought about , good results in that it has brought to the attention of the railway officials the need for more care, especially f i in the matter of the restrictions of t speed." e f CASHIER DEAD, BANK CLOSED. 0 Sargent Was Found Lifeless in Bathtub at North Attleboro? Mass. t North Attleboro, Mass.?Following the death, in his. apartment, of Frednrinlr T? Qoraflnf noaHlor nf thfl Tow. f eler's National Bank, the .largest i. financial institution in this section, i of which Sargent was cashier and t vice-president, closed its doors. Although Albert H. Wiggin, presi dent of the bank, who was in New i i. York, being vice-president of the. Chase National Bank, telegraphed that the cashier's death must not interfere with the continuance of the bank's business, the directors voted not to open. Sargent, whose apartment was in the bank building, was found dead in his bathtub. It is said that he had. probably been seized with an attack of indigestion, to which he was subject, and had fallen into the water and drowned. If his death was natural, it is an odd coincidence, since it follows closely upon the discovery, presumably, by the bank examiners, of Irregularities in the conduct of the bank's business. PROHIBITION GETS AID. Bill as Amended Gives State Police Control at Border. Washington, D. C. ? The Initial step toward making prohibition effective in such States as have voted for it was taken in the Senate when an amendment was inserted in the Wilson bill. This bill was intended to give the State police control over shiDments of liauor when they , reached the border, but the Supreme Court held that a shipment did not arrive in a State until it was deliv' ered to the consignee, and in this way J prohibition was nullified. 3 MessrB.
