the collision of two big ■teaTTirelght
steamers on I^ake Huron, north of
Point aux Barques, in a dense fog
Monday morning and that the steam
er Frank H. Goodyear of Cleveland
was sunk In <7 fathoms of water.
The steamer James B. Wood, of
Cleveland, which struck the Good
year, limped into Port Huron har
bor Tuesday, with a big hole in her
hull, carrying halt a dozen survl-
_ >ors of the Goodyear.
The latter carries a crew of 23
men and several passengers. Capt.
F. R. Hemlnger, of Algonac, Mich.,
who commanded the Goodyear; Chief
Engineer Gibson, Steward Davis Bar
rett, one wheelman and two passen
gers, Mrs.. Thomas H. 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

Many of the Goodyear's crew went
killed by falling hatches before tuey

All had life preservers when their
vessel sank. The Goodyear's cook
had his baby dashed from Ms arms
from a falling hatch and the Infant

TILLMAN’S CONDITION
THE SENATOR IS STILL RAPIDLT
IMPROVING.
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. This may mean much or
little medically, but Is Indicative of
his feeltng."

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

'Jie Boyd-Brock controversy Is be
coming quite interesting. 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. Brock ,'hate* 1

the Baltimore American of Saturday.
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

between the white Baptists and the
negroes were of the most cordial
character, and recommended that the
present policy be pursued In the per

among the negroes in evangelizing
them
An appeal from the Baptists of
the North, asking that their or*tn-

a special committee, and may create
a grave crisis in the Convention
should it come up at a future s s-

American Baptist Home Mission So

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. J When the
members of the family riieached him
