Bassett and daughter of Marine City, Mich., were saved and brought to Port Huron on the Steamer Wood. _ ^The only hope of the survival of the others who were on board the .Goodyear lies In the possibility o f their having been rescued by the steamer William Siemens, which was near the scene of the wreck. Both the Wood and the Goodyear are Mg vessels, the Wood 514 feet long and the Goodyear 43 5 feet. The former is a steel ship. The Goodyear passed the Soo downbound at 10.30 Saturday and the Wood passed Port Huron up-bound at 7.20 p in. Sun day.

The Dispatches from’ Atlanta Haying He Had a Relapse Were Entirely False i Dispatches from Atlanta Saturday to the effect that Senator Tillman had (.eveloped rheumatism following an effusion of blood on the braiu and hsd been ordered to a sanitarium In that city for Immediate tr?«t f j • this new affection are exat;e r *t- c| and misleading, according o Dr ,i V. Labcock and Col. August Koh:i of Cnlrmbla, both of whom hav ■ •«- o.nt.y beer guests of Senator Tlf tL..* a* Trenton. After a careful study of tin s>.r- ator’s condition, Dr. Babcock made the following statement: "I And Senator Tillman In a very comfortable condition; In facL he is much be*t r iua" i f*''cr exp etc t to see him again, considering the na ture of the attack he had last win ter in Washington His expression Is good, anl his speech natural. The only effects remaining from the par alytic attack are a numbness and dragging of the right foot asd leg. "The treatment followed so far has largely been that of rest and diet and under this regime i >e has reached hia present Improve- ed condition; therefore the future management of the case will be along these lines and every effort made to secure ft r Mm rest, quiet, freedom from care and worry. For the pres ent the senator has decided to re turn to the sanlttarlum In Atlanta, where experience In formed l!ine>s has resulted In benefit. Suggestions are frequently made that Senator Tillman spend some months abroad. This question cannbt be determined at the present time, and Its ultimate decision will depend largely on Sen ator Tillman s physical strength. "Considering th seriousness < f his attack last winter his present condition Is all that his physicians could have any right to expect. ’ "How about Senator Tt man's Rheumatism Dr. Itatloock was asked. "Senator Tillman has no rheuma tism, as far as I could see, or he could describe He continues his gymnastic exercises, as he has been doing since his return from Europe, and says that sometimes his right shoulder Joint Is ‘rusty,' meaning, I suppose, that motion of the Joint Is less free than 'formerly. This, 1 suppose. Is the basis of the rumor that he has rheumatism.'’ Col Kohn says: "This was Dr Babcock's medical view of Senator Tillman's condition, I saw him about six weeks ago and then wrote an account of his condition, and to a layman's eye there Is the most mark ed and decided Improvement In Sen ator Tillman s condition. §lx weeks ago he had to b^yir^orted In walk ing; npwran and does walk wlth- 9:Tlu any support. He used a Swiss walking cane, but he gets at>out with out It Six weeks ago he spoke In monosyllables; now he talks freely and starts discussions He laughs and cracks Jokes and Is In the best of humor.

W K HrvVbam. I sashed by His Comcieaee, Oliver Mpitzer Obtains Pardon from Prea- hfent to Give Evidence In Trial ol of Hugar Trust Officials Charged With Defrauding Government. The biggest sensation of tne tri;.’* of the American Sugnr Refining (<»m- pany employees at New York was created Monday morning by the an- ,nouncement that President \Taft has pardon'd Oliver Spltzer, superin tendent of the Williamsburg docks of the compai), who some month* ago was convl. ted of underwelghlng and sentenced to two years in the Federal prison In Atlanta. As Spltzer testified It developed that President Taft granted him an unconditional pardon on May 19 last. Spltzer testified that he ar ranged signal llgJits operated by a switch to warn weighers of auy "sudden danger." The trump card in the prosecu tion of Charles B. Helke, secretary of the American Sugar Refining Com pany, w'as played at the opening of the trial, when Prosecutor Sttmson called Mr. Spltzer as the govern ment's first witness. John B. StancJi- fleld, for the defense, clafmed that under the Federal statute Spltzer, as a convicted man, could not testify. It was then announced in court that Spltzer had been pardsned by Presi dent Taft. Helke Is on trial In the United States- court with five former em ployes of the American Sugar Re fining company on the charge of con spiring to defraud the government by underwelghlng cargoes of sugar Imports. On the evidence of Richard Parr, a government Inspector, Spltzer was convicted wKh flour checkers em ployed ui\der him with the conspir acy to perpetrate frauds whereby the government was cheated out of mil lions of dollars In sugar duties. The four checkers -Boyle, Coyle, Kepoe and Hennesy —were sent to the Blackwell s Island penitentiary for a year. (Spltzer protested igntoranee of frauds on the docks Men "higher up" were sought and Heike, the sec retary of the trust, and Ernest F. Gerbracht. the refinery superinten dent, were indicated. With them on trial now besides four other former company checkers is James F. dernagel, the refinery cashA^r, who was tried VItA 'SpViizbT and the oth er checkers The Jury disagreed as to whether Bendernagel had a part in the onjisplracy, and it was deci led to re-try him. It was reported that Spltzer was going to make a clean breast of the alleged frauds. He described the use, about 1 890 and 1895, ol small bags of lead on the beams of the scales, causing the recorded weights to he sometimes forty pounds short to a draft, and also the stuff ing* of newspapers underneath the floors of the scales for the same pur- |K)se The use of the paper was an alisolutely new development In the fraud Investigation. Helke listened to Spltzer's testimony with tnse In terest Bpitzer demonstrated in court the use of the bags of lead and testified about the steel springs say ing that first heavy ones were used and later light ones. The springs, he said, were substituted for lead and paper when Deputy Surveyors of Customs Vail took office, while the use of springs was abandoned after the sugar trust had paid the rebate to the government as a result of the Federal suit. “Did you ever arrange a system of signal lights in the scale house?" suddenly asked the prosecution. "Yes, sir,” replied Spitzer, who then related that the signals were used to warn the weighers of any sudden danger. "How were the HgMs worked?" "By a switch In my office, re plied Spltzer, who said that the switch was turned whenever fc gov ernment official was seen to ap proach. Spltzer said that an electric light had been used In the scale houses for many years, but that he made a change In the signal system by In stalling red lights In reply to an interrogation of the prosecution if he had ever told of the weighing frauds to any one. Spitzer replied that he had informed a man named Leroy, who worked in the Wall street office of the sugar trust. The witness said when he wanted \|o raise any of the chercker's wages was obliged to put the matter ore Cashier flames F.

Sensa tional Allegations were made before the court of enquiry on Tuesday as to how Col. Brock charged the State with expenses of his inspection tour in the sprlng of last year. Lieut. Cabanas, the army officer attached to General Boyd's office, who made inspection with Col. Brock was placed on the stand and compar ison made between his expenses at the various points where inspections occurred with itemized vqchers filed by Col. Brock and on which warrants were Issued to him. The evidence showed Col. \Brock charging the State at every point two to six times as much as Cabaniss charged the federal government. At various points teams and hack fare were charged when apparently no teams were used as they were guests of local militiamen. In some places Lieut. Cabaniss made no charges for hotel hills, as he and Col. Brock were guests of friends. During these inspections, Mr. Cabaniss used 1,500 miles of mileage, while Col. Brock charged the State up with four thous and miles. Proprietor Molair of the hotel at Barnwell testified that the hotel bill there, amounting to $1, had never been paid. Capt Cole had said he would pay It. The voucher on which Col. Brock was issued a warrant show $2.75 each charged for hotel for himself and Lieut. Bennett. Lieut. Cabaniss was then placed on the stand. He read from his records showing that hts inspection expen ses for 1907 were 102.07, for 1908 $142.72, and for 1909 $1 56.62. Col. Brock's were several hundred dol lies for each year. In detail the Inspection trip of last spring was covered, Lieut. Cab- anlss testifying from his vouchers and Attorney Rembert reading from the records from the comptroller gen eral s office. At Hartsvllle where both men were the guests of Capt. Coker and Lieut Cabaniss paid nothing, Col. Brock charged up a hotel bill of $4. At Charleston, Lieut Cabaniss paid noth ing. while the State was charged $13.50 for Col. Brock's hotel bill. In addition to other charges. At Camden Lieut Cabaniss paid a hotel bill of $1 50, while Col. Brock char ged the State with $12, in addition to team hire of $4, although both rode to the rifle range aa the guests of a local officer. In a trip by private conveyance from Cheraw to Chester, witness paid his share of the cost, which was less than $4, and Col. Brock's vouch er showed a charge of $4 for this trip. There was a similar showing on the trip from Chester to Corn- well. At Florence Col Brock charged up $4 for hotel hill, $3 for team and 50 cents each for hack and transfer Lieut. Cabaniss' expense was $2 for hotel bill. So far as witn'ss knew, there was no need for a hack or a team. At Darlington witness had a hotel bill of $3.75, whereas Col. Brock charged up $12 for hotel in addi tion to other charges. Al Bennettsville the stop was for only a part of a day, witness' hotel bill being 75 cents, whereas Col. Brock charged $4 on account of ho tel bill. At Rock Hill Col. Brock charged up for a trip on the train to Fort Mill, a few miles distant, 50 cents for a team to carry him to Fort Mill, although he had gone on the train, $3 for hotel bill and 50 cents for a telegram. Lieut Cabaniss had no charges to make. At Winnshoro the stop was brief and witness had no charges to make Col. Brock charged $4 for hotel, $1 for hack and •ransfer and $3 f< r team, although the two had ridden out to the point desired to be peafh- ed as the guests of a local (ft-r At Yorkvilie Col.

As the negro was the question for" discussion, he seemed to voice the Sentiment of all present when Be said: “We have got to treat the ne gro right; we have got to get rid of some of our inherent meanness and give them a Just deal. The best thing to do for the negro is to set him a good example. There are 10,000,000 in our land, and not the hundreds of millions in Africa of this or any other race concern us as much as those in our midst.” The Rev. Dr. George W. McDaniel, of Richmond, Va., in another address on the negro problem said he hoped to see the day come when the negro would be given justice in the Courts. "I blush," he said, "when I think of the negro given the limit of Jh«; law for a petty crime and the white man set free for the same crime merely because his skin is white and he has the influence. Negroes are not Baptists because they know so little, hut because they read with unbiased minds the Word of God. When we think of thenj and how they were the guards of our women when the rqen of the South were off to war—k say we need to do the ne groes ol the SouUi Justice. ’ Dr. McDaniel reported on negroes for the cohjmittee appointed to con sider that subject. He stated, from the report, thtvt the Baptists were do ing more to evangelize the 9,000,000 negroes of the South than all the other denominations combined. He said that $12,000 had been expend ed in the work, and that 25 negro missionaries were enydoyed. Two hundred and slxty-flve Rible confer ences had been held, he *aid. for ne groes, at which 19,555 pgstors and deacons attended. He explained that the missionary work airtonv 'he negroes was done by the home mis sion board of the Northern Conven tion. He stated that the relat^ns between the white Baptists and the negroes were of the most cordial character, and recommended that the present policy be pursued In the per sonal activity of the pastots coming among the negroes in evangelizing them An appeal from the Baptists of the North, asking that their or*tn- ren of the South aid them in tak care of the negroes, was referred to a special committee, and may create a grave crisis in the Convention should it come up at a future s s- slon The appeal came from the American Baptist Home Mission So ciety, with headquarters in New York. For years the sentiment of Northern Baptists toward the u>gn has b*en gradually changing, and, as one of the delegates stated. "The Northerners have come to realize that the negro is no angel and we are not heathens." "They used to house and shot himself.
