IS CATHEDRAL
FAR FROM DESTROYED
Damage Mach Leas Than Has Been
Generally Supposed, Says French
Correspondent
Paris, Oct 28.—After all, the Rheims
cathedral haa> not suffered from Ger
man bombardments and fire so mhch
as was at first supposed, Cardinal Lu-
con has told a representative of the
Paris Intfansigeant. The cardinal an
nounced that divine service .would be
resumed in the cathedral from Novem
ber i, but the holy office will be re
stricted to the altar of the Virgin and
the ambulatory around it These will
accommodate only about 1,500 per
sons. :
The interviewer describes how he
met the cardinal at Rheims in a sim
ply famished apartment of the arch-
iepiscop&l palace, with a shell hole in
the wall. Cardinal Lucon, despite his
77 ears, is still hale and alert, and he
is an optimiet
"Destroyed, my cathedral? Why,
no," he said. ’The . damage is much
more easily repaiifehtortfifn is gene re
ally believed. A fe&Mftcie&t parts, It
is true, cannot tte replaced; but the
ibeguty of. the cathedral lay, first, in
Us.stgined.glass; .secondly, in its
sculptures,' and thirdly in its statuary.
“Of the stained glass, nine-tenths
has been saved and brought to Paris.
The remaining tenth can be restored
by specialists, with the aid of much
patience and a great number of colored
photographs we have. As regards the
which had been drafted by the minori
ty members of the foreign relations
committee. This called for the final
vote on the Lodge resolution at 3
o’clock oq, Thursday of this week, and
coqtaiaed the further provision that
if the Lodge resolution failed to re
ceive the necessary two-thirds vote,
the senate should on Friday and Sat
urday of this week consider reserva
tions to be proposed by the democratic
minority.
* Senator Lodge objected to this upon
the grounds that it wonld be writing a
new rule for the senate to agree that
after the resolution failed considera
tion should be given to alternative
reservations. He contended that the
only way this could be done was by
passing a motion for reconsideration.
Dr. J. O. Rea vie, of Columbia,
addressed a maw meeting held Sun-
of the Third Red Crow Roll Call
of Nov. 2-11th. He gave an inter
esting sketch of what this great or
ganization had accomplished in the
past and then went into a full dis
cussion of its present plans and
work and the program it has out
lined for its future activities. He
made an earnest appeal for the Red
Cross and asked a hearty co-opera
tion on the part of all in the pres
ent drive, deelring it to be “ a priv
ilege to be a member of such an or
ganization as the Red Cross’r"”*
Immediately following his ad
dress, the report of the (chapter’s
nominating committee was read
and adopted which resulted in the
election of the following officers for
the local chapter for the ensuing
year:

moldings we have, pf them. Many have
had to be restored anyway in the
course of centuries, such as for in
stance, the large piece representing
the Assumption. That was restored In
1875.
"As for the statuary, we have <teo
many moldings that it •will be easy to
reproduce the damaged parts. The pil
lars, with their oriiamental capitals,
have suffered Httle; only the two side
doorways have been badly damaged by
fire."
‘‘Was there not some talk of leaving
the cathedral as it was ” the reporter
aaked.
“If the evidence of Teutonic barbar

kept in a private museum," replied the
cardinal gravely.
Muskegon, Mich., Oct. 28.—With
fourteen known dead and six or more
missing, only time can bring an accur
ate count of the toll of the great'seas
which early this morning bodily lifted
the Crosby passenger steamer Muske
gon, formerly the City of Holland,
and smashed her to pieces bn the
piers at the entrance to Muskegon
harbor. The list of dead Is being add
ed to almost hourly.
The steamer, a slde-wheelet, bound
from Milwaukee, after outriding a
night of gale, made for the harbor in
the early morning darkness, but is
said by Captain Edward Miller to have
struck the bar at the entrance. The
wheel paddles jammed in the sand,
checking headway, and the great
combers threw the ship about and
hurled her on to the pier. There she
hung, momentarily, pounding into
wreckage, and then slipped off into
the deen channel, going down In fifty
feet of water. The vessel lies a storm-
tofn tangle of steel and splintered
wood, effectually blocking the harbor
entrance.
Fifty of the 72 , passengers and
crew, guided to safety by a single
flash-light in the hands of a coast
guard, were tonigth known to have
beep saved from the vessel. It was
feared several were caught between
decks. Survivors, most of them es
caped only in their night clothing,
were being cared for by the Red Cross,
while in the city morgues lie the
bodies recovered. . »

James W. Beaman, city electri
cian, was imrtantly killed Tuesday
morning about eleven o’clock when
he came in contact with a live wire
while engaged in repairing a brok

his body. At the time of his death,

phanage properly and in some way
came in contact with one of the ad
joining heavy voltage main wires.
As soon as he sustained the shock
he was knocked backwards and
would have fallen had he not been
strapped to the pole. After re
maining in this position for prob
ably several minutes he was discov
ered by passers-by who immediate
ly removed him from his position
and gave the alarm, but there was
practically no evidence of life left
by this time. The physicians of
the city iwerif immediately sum
moned and for more than an hour
worked faithfully in the hope of
saving his life but all restorative
methods failed. The only injury
suirtained on his body was a severe
burn on his fingers which resulted
from his * contact with the heavy
voltage wire, thougrt his hahds were
protected with gloves at the time
of the accident. Later his body
was removed to the local under
taking establishment awaiting the
edroners’ inquest, after which it
ivas removed to his home oh Mus-
grove Street.
His body, acootnmpanied by a large
gathering of friends and relatives, was
carried to Cross Hill Wednesday
