j^F \ Many Thousands of Dinner Paili of
Y Workmen Are Empty.
\ HEAVY SHRIEK AOS IN TRADE.
Throwing Annie* ol Worker* Out of
Work, Notwlthwtandlng the Itepublioan
Party'i Pledge
of* ProMperitjr.
The full-dinner pail pledge made to
the workmen of the country by the
lie publican campaign managers four
years ago, in the plea for votes to continue
the Hcpubllcau administration,
has proved nothing more than an unfulfilled
promise. Trade stragnation
and attendant armies of Idle workers
are evident In all of the business centres
of the country.
Facts gathered by The World from
every Industrial section of the nation
show that there are hundreds of thousands
of empty dinner palls," a larger
number of half-filled dinner palls and
a rapidly shrinking proportion of full
dinner palls.
The plodge that good times would
endure so long as the Republican
party was kept at the helm was spied*
* dldly exploited. The full-dinner-pail
promise was shouted hi the ears of the
nirmiiiKiiicil IIUUI C?CI| ItpCUM.'lN
sLand erected during the campaign.
It was a halt that appeared alluringly
in all of the campaign literature.
The working man was to have ceaseless
work. There was to he neither
idleness nor want. The mills were to
be kept running every work day in the
week and on full time evory day. It
was to be four years of plenty and
abundance.
business was to boom. Failures were
t/> decrease. Tire wheels of trade and
commerce were to whirl at their utmost
capacity.
It was a splendid word picture that
the skilled orators so artfully painted.
All that the workingmen had to do to
bring to himself four years of giltedged
prosperity was to vote the Republican
ticket. Then he need worry
no longer about the dinner pall for
himself or family.
A careful canvass of the men In ths

Haven Hundred Persons Are Lost
With an Emigrant Ship.
8HE WAS BOUND FOR NEW YORK.
The Small Roatn Were Snualied as
, Fast a* They Were Lowered
and the People Dumped
I
In the Sea.
Over 700 Danish and Norwegian
, emigrants bound for New York are
, believed to have been drowned in the
North Atlantic on June 28. Out of
nearly 800 souls on board the Danish
, steamer Norge, which left Copenhagen,
June 22, only 27 are known to bo alive
and for the rest no hope Is held out.
When last seen the Norge was sinking
here she struck on the islet of
' Rock all, whose isolated peak raises
itself from a deadly Atlantic reef some
' 200 miles olT the west coast olf Scotland.
Kirly on the morning of last Tuesday,
the Norge, who was out of her
course In heavy weather, ran onto the
ltockall reef, which in the distance
looks like a ship under sail. The
Norge was quickly backed olT, but the
heavy seas poured In through a rent
in her trows.
The emigrants who were then awaiting
breakfast below, ran on deck. The
hatchways were scarcely built for
these hundreds of souls and became
clogged.
The Norge quickly began to go
down by the head. Might boats were
lowered and into these the women
and diidren were hurriedly put. Six
of these boats smashed* against the
side of the Norge and their helpless
inmates were caught up by the heavy
v^nnu
Two Ik at loads got safely away from
the side of the sinking ship and many
of the emigrants who were left on
hoard, seizing life belts, threw themselves
Into the sea and were drowned.
Capt. Guddol, so say the survivors,
stood on the bridge of the doomed vessel
until he could be of no more service.
The l)oats kept together some hours.
I'ractically all of the occupants were
passengers and not used to handling
such craft. The Iroat occupied by the
survivors landed at Grimsby was a
life boat.
tiikkk boats launched.
One account says that three boats
were successfully launched, the other
two holding about ten persons each.
The life bjat made fa-it her progress
and fell in with the Salvia. What became
of the other boats Is not yet
known.
The rescue of those on the life boat
took place at. 8 o'clock oil the morning
of June 29, the survivors consisting
of 20 men, one of them a seaman,
six women and a girl.
One of the survivors sa'd that when
he got on deck, the Norge was half nibmerge!
and was rapidly getting lower
in the water. Half mad with fright
the survivors all struggled for the
places in the boats. They fought their
i way to the big life boat and an ottlcer
stowed in the six women and the girl
and told the men to get In. The oil!cer
then took charge and got the boat
i to the side of the Norge. Seeing that
the l>oat was already overladen, the
otllcer with great.heroism jumped into
the water and tried to board another
boat which was not so full, lie failed
i and was drowned.
i The sea by tills time was a mass of
! struggling men, women and children,
gasping and choking from tne elTects
of tiie water. They tried to get in
tl e already overladen boats, tint were
beaten oiT with oars. The boat rowed
clear of this seething inferno and just
i as she diew away the Norge went
1 down.
Dnf a* Va1.,a^ . 1
t a uuui iiuiiuu, uiiu in tin; nil i vi vurn,
described as a young American, said:
i "For some hours we rowed in comt
patiy with other boats, but the strong
, tide drifted us away from the others
and nothing low been seen* of them
since. The Salvia picked us up and
we were well cared for on board the
trawler. All of us lost our entire belongings.
We had no time in that
iierce tight for life to think of anyi
thing but the getting of seats In the
boat."
The only hope except for these
known to have escaped is that some
i few of the ( migrants might have been
washed upon the barren rock. Their
chance of being rescued even then is
practically nil, for vessels sailing the
North Atlantic give Itockall as wide a
berth as possible.
The news of this disaster, which It
is feared, in its death record is greater
than any previous tragedy of the Atlantic,
came with the arrival Sunday
of the steam trawler Salvia at her
home port, the quiet fishing town of
Grimsby. The Salvia had been on a
fortnight's cruise around the Hebrides.
lly a lucky chance she steamed further
west than is usual for Grimsby
trawlers and fell in with the survivors
of the Norge, who for 24 hours had
been tossed about in a small beat on
the rough waters of the North Atlan
tic. The survivors were taken aboard
the Salvia and were landed at Grimsby
Sunday night.

The steam trawler Silvia put into
Grimsby late Sunday night with 27
rescued Scandinavians aboard. Only
one of them could speak English. He
said:
"We left Copenhagen June 22.
There were 700 emigrants, Norwegians,
Swedes, Dines and Finns, on
board. The crew numbered about 80.
"All went well until June 28. I lay
in my bunk watting for breakfast. We
had a little bump, then another bump
and then 1 rushed on deck.
"I saw at once that something serious
had happened and 1 made a dash
below to gather up my few belongings.
"Scores were rushing on deck and
the hatchway was crowded with emigrants.
They were launching boats
and rushing into them, but there was
no panic.
4 Four or live were in the boat Into
which 1 got and we cleared the ship.
Luckily for us, in our party was the
only seamen from the Norge who escaped
and he was able to navigate our
little boat.
"We saw two other boats capsize
owing to the heavy weather and because
no one could navigate them.'We
made straightaway and when we last
saw the Norge, a large number of emigrants
were on the deck. Capt Gundel
stood on the bridge.
Dozens of passengers had jumped In
to the sea. They wore life belts but
were drowned before our eyes.
After 24 hours the Salvia bore down
and picked us up. About 700 persons
must have been drowned."

she struck, Is about 200 miles west of

According to the sulvivors tbe mo*
ment the vessel struck, the engines
were reversed and the N urge came back
Into deep water. The rentlu her bow
was so large, however, that she began
to till rapidly.
The vessel's eight boats were swuug
over the sides rapidly and the women
and children were put into them tlrst.
There was a heavy sea running and in
lowering the boats, all but two were
smashed.
The Norge which had been in the
Copenhagen-New York service of the
Scandinavian- Amerlcrn line for a number
of years, was an iron vessel of 3,318
tons gross and 2,121 tons net. ller
principal dimensions were: Length 340

Judge Pritcliaril Orders Itcleatio of
Kilitor Daniels lrom CuHtody.
A dispatch from Asheville, N. C.,
says Judge Jeter C. Prltoh&rd of^the
United States circuit court at noon
Wednesday tiled Ids opinion in the celebrated
case of Josephus Daniels', before
him on writ of habeas corpus,
charged with contempt of court. Mr.
Daniels, who is editor of the Italelgh
News and Observer, had been tinei
$2,000 for contempt of District Judge
Purnell.
Judge Prltchard's opinion will be
recognized as an imp >rtant legal record,
and is a cartful and comprehensive
review of the law as applied to
newspaper utterances that might be
c nstrued as con'empt of court. The
text of the decision in part is as follows:
In re Josephus Daniels for contempt
Prltchard, circuit judge.
"In order to determine whether the
petitioner is entitled to the relief prayed
for in the petition upon which the
writ of habeas corpus was Issued, it is
necessary to determine two questions:
"1. Did the court which Imposed
the sentence in this case have jurisdiction
V
* 2. Does thiscourt have jurisdiction
to hear and determine this case on a
rw 11 u ui uauioo UJI ;
??* * * force 0f pul>lic opinion
in tiiis couutry in favor of the freedom
of the press has restrained the free exercise
of the power to punish tills class
i f contempts, and in many jurisdictions
statutes have heeu enacted depriving
the court of the power to punish
this class of contempts, and In
many jurisdict ions statutes have been
enacted depriving the court of the power
to punish them. It was taken from
the federal c urts by ttie act of congress
of 18:u, which act deprives those
courts of the common law pjwer to
protect by this proce s their suitors,
witnesses, otlicers and themselves
against the libel of the press, though
published and circulated pending the
trial of a cause therein. * * *
"That newspapers sometimes engage
in unwarranted criticism of the
courts cannot be denied. In some instances
they construe the liberty of
the press as a license to authorize
them to engage in wholesale abuse of
the court, but these instances are rare
and do not warrant a departure from
the well settled principles of the law
as declared by congress and constructed
by the courts. If judges charged
with the administration of the law are
not to be criticised on account of their
olllcial conduct the liberty of the press
is abridged and the rights of individuals
imperiled. i
"There may be instances where the
publication of editorials or other matter
in newspapers would bring the author
within the limitations of the
statute. For instance, if a newspaper
should publish an article concerning a
trial which was being considered by
a jury, and should send a copy of the
paper containing such article to the
jury or a member thereof, during lite
progress of the trial, for the purpose of
inliuencing them in their decision, it
would present a question whether
such conduct would not bo m'sbehavior
In the presence of the court, or so
i.ear thereto as to obstruct the administration
of justice. * * *
"It appears that the distinguished
judge who adjudged the petitioner to
l>e In contempt of court exceeded the
authority granted in the act of Ib.'ll,
and that the court was wsthout jurisdiction.
Such being the case the
judgment of the court is void and
therefore a nullity.
"In view of the foregoing the court
ilnds that petitioner is unlawfully restrained
of his liberty and it is therefore
considered and ordered by the
court that the said Joscphus Daniels
be discharged from the custody of the
marshal of the United States and that
lie go henco without delay."

Two of Tlieni Fight to the Death In
the Zoo.
The King, believed to have been
the finest buffalo in captivity, has
met deatha duel wlih Mack Beauty,
his rival for the leadership cf the
herd in the New York Zoological park.
The tlgbtlug beasts presented a frightful
spectacle and their bellowlngs
could be heard a quarter of a mile distant.
The battle lasted twenty minutes.
While the King, ruler of the h^rd,
was lying on the grass enjoying a
siesta. Black Beauty sank his sharp
horns in the King's side. Kver
since the Whitney herd and the
buffaloes that had previously been one
of the principal attractions of the garden
were thrown in one corral a month
ago, ill feeling has existed between
the two. Upon several occasi Es they
met to settle the question of supremacy
and each time, the Kiug, who was
much the larger and stronger animal,
was victorious. The 1 ist of these duels
was on Memorial day when the King
administered a severe thrafihl g to
the Beauty and for the time put an
end to the aspirations of that animal
for the leadership.
The King was peacefully dc/.lng i
when suddenly Black Beauty fell up >n

King, with a tellow of fury, closed

on.
Swaying their shaggy heals from
side to side, charging and wheeling,
the huge animals gored each other
with an abandon that struck terror
to the hearts of their comrades who
withdrew to view the oonilict from a
safe distance. Keepers armed with
poles and pitch forks hurried to the
scene but were unable to interfere.
