Three Americans Save the Lives of One Hundred Women and Children. Manila, October 22-Additional reports of damage wrought the Cagayan ley by the typhoon of October 12 indicate that loss of life will reach 500. At Aparri where a thrilling rescue of a hundred natives was effected through the heroism of Lieutenant Robert Clark, Lieutenant Tredway and Postmaster Foss, the survivors say that 300 of the submerged fishing village, is located residents, some distance below Aparri, were swept away and drowned. The three Americans, aided by one volunteer, were informed of the danger that threatened the village and managed to reach It by boat.

Approaching the shore in a series of short rushes between breakers that threatened at any moment to swamp their frail craft, the rescuers found scores of natives clinging to the poles of their wrecked habitations. Lieutenant Clark and Lieutenant Treadway, carrying lines from the boat, fought their way through the breakers and swimming house to house in the flood water saved the lives of about 100 men, women and children. So thorough was their work that all but six of those living when the boat reached the village were saved. The half-dozen unfortunates in question were swept away by the force of the water while the Americans were striving to reach them, More than fifty bodies were recovered in this locality. It is reported that many were drowned at Ilagan and that the town was almost entirely destroyed.

It is feared that the storm and the resulting flood have seriously damaged the tobacco crop of the islands. The principal supply and the best quality of Phil1ppine tobacco is grown in the Cagayan district where two plantations report serious damage. to the present time there has been no communication established with other sections where the condition of the crop 18 of more importance.

BUSINESS WOULD BE RETARDED Republican Candidate to Make Fifty Speeches in the State of Indiana. Milan, October 22-Indiana 1s to be the battleground in which William H. Taft will push his campaign for the remainder of the week.

He has adopted an itinerary which calls for fifty speeches in this state and will take the candidate the through began then state delivery from of south the to sixteen north. speeches required of him to-day at Lawrenceburg before 8 o'clock this morning. The day will end at Evansville after the following places have been visited: Lawrenceburg, Aurora, Osgood, North Vernon, Seymour, Brownstown, Mitchell, Bedford, Bloomington, Linton, Terre Haute, Sullivan, Vincennes. and Evansville. With a voice restored by his day of rest Mr.

Taft had this to say of Mr. Bryan at his first stop: "Mr. Bryan is a bit sensitive because Republicans are prophesying (not only Republicans but Democrats, too, in a busipess way). that it he is elected it will retard business, and that if the Republican ticket is elected it will improve business. He says this is to workmen.

It is not offering bribery bribery. It is merely stating a fact, and it is a fact that workingmen. ought to know as well as business men. Mr. Bryan's election will be a menace to prosperity.

We may not, if he is elected, expect that business will be resumed with flow and that current of prosperity that we have had for the last eleven years." North Vernon, October 22-At Aurora Mr. Taft repeated his answer to Mr. Bryan's charge that it is bribery on the part of Republican orators to tell workingmen that if Bryan is elected times will not be so good. "So long as I have lungs and a throat," declared Mr. Taft, "I propose to make that argument.

It is a legitimate argument, because it is a fact, and the laboring men have a right to have the truth told them." Senator Hemenway assisted Judge Taft during the day, following the candidate in brief speeches At where his audience was composed mostly of farmers, Mr. Taft said: "I am very glad to see you this mornng. and to see you in such numbers; to see you in such good nature and I hope I see you in enthus astic support of the Republican party and the Republican ticket. I understand this is largely farming community, and when I get into a community of farmers, I feel as if they could convince me rather than I could convince them that the Republ.can ticket ought to be elected. If any farmer can point out any reason why the present administration of Theodore Roosevelt for seven years and the previous administration of William McKinley for five vears ought to be changed so far as the farmIng interests are concerned, I would like to have him do it.

"You can 20 back bevond that time when the farming interests were prostrated, but during these two administrations under the Dingley bill you had a market which kent farm prices up. The agricultural department has been devoting its attention to scientific agriculture and has been pointing the way how to make two blades of grass grow where one grew before. You can and ought to feel toward that Republican adm nistraon a spirit of gratitude and you ought to help it continue its ministrations to the farmers of the country." The crowds encountered were large and extremely cordial in their welcome to the candidate. HIS LICENSE NOT REVOKED. Rev.

Mr. Fairfield Still a Baptist Preacher, but He's Not at Sag Harbor. A ridiculous story was published in a New York morning paper to-day to the effect that the Rev. A. H.

C. Morse, pas.or of the Strong Place Baptist Church, ad revoked the license to preach of the ev Frederick W. Fairfield, pastor of the S.g Harbor Baptist Church for some time, who has now left there under the hadow of grave charges. Mr. Morse has no authority to revoke he license of any man.

He said th.s morning that what had been done was that at a meeting of the deacons of the Strong Place Baptist Church on Monday wht it was decided to ark the a meeting to-morrow night, to cancel the license which it had given to Mr to preach but he will not be dropped from the membership of the church at a present pending further Investiestion. The matter will be dropped by the advisory committee of the Long Islan st Association as Mr. Fairfleld has not appeared before it and nothing whatever ca- be learned of him. A new advisory committee will be chosen by the n-sociation at its meeting this afternoon and the matter will not be taken up) The appropriation bu the State Bantist Convention toward Mr. Fairfield's valary will not be paid.

Thus the matter will be onded. TRIAL OF THE POWDER TRUST. Compe: R. S. Waddell Testifies That tition Has Been Eliminated to the Extent of 98 Per Cent.

The suit of the government against the Powder Trust, for alleged violation of anti-Sherman act, was resumed at the Custom House in Manhattan to-day, before Special Examiner William H. Mahaffy. R. S. Waddell, the former general sales agent in the United States for the powder combine, on whose petition suit was brought, told of methods of the combine in eliminating competitors.

He declared that the trust controlled between 95 and 98 per cent, of the trade in rifle powder and 90 per cent, of trade in blasting powder. Mr. Waddell related how the Southern Powder Company, organized in Cincinnati, with mills in Georgia, was attacked as 800n as its independent product was put the market, in 1896. There were on eral' fights against other companies on at the time but the combine went after the Southern's trade In Georgia, Tennessee and Alabama with a gay abandon. "We went right after them as 8000 A8 they entered the market.

Tokio, Japan, October 22-This is the day when the municipality of Tokio entertains the men and officers of the American fleet, and commencing at noon the guests of the city were kept constantly on the go until nightfall.

There was a luncheon at noon attended by Admiral SperAmbassador O'Brien, half the memTerse of the Embassy staff and half of the naval offers on shore. An hour later, at o'clock, Hibya Park was opened to 3,000 bluejackets and marines and there was every form of entertainment for the men. A total of 5,000 invitations were issued for this function.

The day opened with rain but later the weather cleared and the sun shone brightly. The utmost good order has prevailed all day long. A torchlight procession, arranged as a surprise, Was the concluding feature of the day. For nearly six hours the principal streets were packed with the paraders, who numbered upward of 50,000 and who found their way through the city like a crooked river of fire. Everyone in the vast multitude carried a lantern and Japanese and American flags.

At intervals there were huge illuminated banners of costly and striking Oriental design. In the line were dozens of bands of music, large and small and a corps of buglers from the Japanese army and naval stations. From the eminence and other points commanding a view of the city the scene was striking. Everywhere the Americans were cheered and nowhere wag the enthusiasm aroused to a wilder or madder pitch than when the great procession reached the American embassy. For over an hour, the pageant wound through the grounds, cheering the admirals of the American fleet and calling by name for Ambassador O'Brien, who as it chanced, was in attendance at the dinner of Count Komura.

After the demonstration had extended over a considerable period, Mrs. O'Brien appeared and was received with evidences of the greatest popular favor. The bands united in playing American national hymn again and again and the buglers saluted. After entire procession had passed through the grounds the bands dispersed.

HAD A LIVERY IN FLATBUSH, But Says Police Have Hounded Him, and He's Selling Out--Daughter's Case Put Off. John Dammers, of 363 East Thirty-Arst street, Flatbush, who is alleged to have been leading a double life, as a respectable business man of Flatbush and as a pickpocket, was fined $10 this morning in the Adams street court by Magistrate Tighe, on a charge that he had been jostling the passengers in a Utica avenue car the Church avenue crossing. Dammers gave his name when arrested as John Davis, and when he was called to the stand in court this morning as a witness in his own defense he almost slipped into a preliminary admission of his identity. "What is your name?" asked Magistrate Tighe.

"John Dam-Davis," said he, under oath. There were a number of people in court who had known Dammers as a man of eminent respectability, and supposed to be a prosperous livery stable keeper in Flatbush. Dammers tried to dodge observation betore his case was called, and sat in the rear of the court with his head low. He is well groomed and dresses well. His wife was not in court when his case came up, for she was down in the Children's Court, where Winnie Damthe accused stepdaughter, as it mers, turned out, was being arraigned on a charge of shoplifting.

Winnie's case was not disposed of by Justice Ryan in the children's Court, for the parties concerned were not ready to go on. She had been arrested with Margaret Hegeman of 227 East Thirty-first street for stealing shirt waists from a Fulton street department store. The two girls seen by Susan Reardon, the store detective, to take the waists. The Hegeman girl, who is nineteen years old, said that Winnie, who was sixteen years old last Saturday, had induced her to steal. Winnie Is an innocent faced little girl, but she was caught with the goods in her possession.

"What is asked was true name?" asked the detective. your "John Dammers," was the reply. "Were you ever convicted of a crime?" asked the detective, who held in his hand the "record of conviction." "Yes." replied Dammers, and then he admitted that ten years ago he had been arrested and convicted on a charge of. stealing a pocketbook, indeed -and had served time for it. But there were no other charges made against him.

He said that in the livery stable business. "Are you in it now?" asked the detective. "No," replied the witness. "The lice have driven me out of my business and I am trying to sell my horses and carriages." "Have you ever had any trouble with Detective Walsh?" counsel for the defense asked Dammers. "Well," responded the prisoner, "he asked me for some information once that was unable to give him, and he may have some That, it was inferred by those present, was when Dammers, so it was alleged, permitted a woman who was charged with shoplifting to escape in his automobile.

"I'll And you guilty, sad Magistrate Tighe, after the hearing concluded, "and I'll fine you $10, with the alternative of spending ten days in jail." Dammer's lawyer paid the fine and the man hurried to the Children's Court to find out what had become of his daughter on the shoplifting charge. One of the reasons for the postponement of the girl's case, which Dammars found out about, was to fix the date of her birth and her mother's marriage. Mrs. Dammers is a remarkably young looking woman to have a child of Winnie's age. She told Justice Ryan that she had been married, In Kansas City, when she was sixteen, to a man named C.

A. Detweller, now dead. That was in 1891. Winn'e was born the following year. The Detweiler was married to Dammers on December 24, 1900.

ROOSEVELT'S LETTER STIRS UP DEMOCRATS They Claim That It Will Throw Doubtful Labor Votes to Bryan. SAY THEY ARE DELIGHTED. Republicans Welcome It as Another Injection of Ginger Into the Campaign, President Roosevelt's labor letter Senator Knox, demanding to know where Bryan stood on legalized boycott and the blacklist, stirred up conflicting emotions among Bryan's backers to-day. Chairman Mack declared that he was delighted with the White House attack and said it was worth thousands of votes. to Bryan, while the American Federation of Labor representatives professed to be furious about it.

"If there was a single American workingman," said Chairman Mack, at the Democratic headquarters, "who Was in doubt about his vote previous to to-day, his will be made up after reading the President's letter. It will make thousands of votes for Bryan, because it is a blow at organizations and labor's candidate for the Presidency. "The President's letter is unfair. Mr. Bryan does not own the Democratic party, as the President's letter would indicate.

The party is too big for ownership by one man. The labor the Democratic party, at its national convention. to grant them certain things. The Democratic party did so, after the Republican party had rejected the same demands. The Democratic party speaks through its conventions, and Mr.

Bryan simply stands on the party platform." Josephus Daniels, a member of the Democratic advisory committee, said that it Roosevelt would issue one more such letter before November 3 it would clinch Bryan's election beyond all doubt. declared he was especially pleased by the great length of the epistle. "This letter shows that the Republicans are desperate," said Daniels. "They realize that organized labor is for Bryan. They have made repeated attempts to induce Mitchell, Duncan and other members of the executive council of the American Federation Labor to repudiate the Gompers movement.

Having failed, they decided on the bold stroke of abandoning the labor vote and depending on the manufacturers and employers generally. don't believe anybody will be fooled." There is a bunch of mad labor leaders up at the Gilsey House in Manhattan. The campaign against Taft on the part of organized labor is being conducted from that point. The national ters at Washington has turned this work over to a special committee, of which Hermann Robinson is a member. To-day Robinson said: "I don't believe that the working people will be swerved from their position in this campaign by this letter from his excellency.

The President and his Cabinet have public duties to perform, and they ought to be attending to them. rather than attempting to run this campaign. for one, won't stand for having a retiring President dictate how shall vote. "The President himself has indorsed the general legislative demand of labor. It is not true, as the President says, that Gompers is misrepresenting the position of labor in this campaign.

In March. 1908, there was a conference at Washington of over 100 international unions. The delegates drew up a list of the remedial laws they wanted and instructed President Gompers to use every possible means to have them enacted. Labor went into this campaign pledged to defeat its enemies and elect its friends. "More than 1,500,000 voters were represented by the delegates who instructed Mr.

Gompers to follow this course. I don't believe that one men will be influenced by the President's letter. Despite efforts that have made at Washington to induce men high in the Federation to repudiate Mr. Gompers and his work in the campaign, labor unions all over the country are indicating their sympathy with it by adopting resolutions of indorgement. We have received the 'ndorsement of trades unions in every in the country.

Those that have turned down our movement did SO because it was not radical enough to suit heir Socialistic tendencies." At the Republican national headquarters the Roosevelt letter was welcomed 15 putting some much needed 'ginger' Into the campaign. Some of the older heads there thought that it would have the effect of lin ng up capital and labogainst each other. and that it wont stimulate campaigo contributions. The lack'Ist and legalized boycott are issues which the business interests w'll have to neet sooner or later, and the Pre ident's etter is regarded as bringing them to he front. FIREMAN A CHILD'S HERO.

He Rescued Her Doll, and $1,000 Damage to the Hearn Home Was a Mere Trifle. If not a hero in his own estimation, Fireman Edward Slater of Engine Company No. 128 is certainly regarded as such by Anna Hearn of 3918 Fort Hamilton avenue. The little girl's feeling for the fireman was one of the results of a fire this morn ng that broke out in a stationery store under the flat occupied Hearns. When the firemen arrived on the scene the store was burning briskly and the flames were fast spreading to the Becond floor.

At the first alarm Mrs. Hearn aroused her children and took them downstairs and hurried them across the street to a neighbor's home. It was at this moment that Engine No. 128 hove In sight. Little Anna reluctantly followed the lead of hor mother and kept pleading for some one to go back and get her dolly.

Mrs. Hearn was too excited to heed her daughter's cries and did not see her run up to Fireman Slater and ask him to bring "Baby" down. Slater, thinking that a child had been left in the burning building, rushed upstairs, through the smoke-filled halls, and made his way to the front bedroom. What appeared to be an infant lay there wrapped up in a shawl. Slater gathered the bed blankets about the little form and hurried downstairs, and laid it gently on the ground.

As he pulled the blanket back from the face he was horrified to see the child's eyes drop out and a ment later was deeply chagrined as "The form proved to be that of a doll. When the fire was over he took the doll back and gave it to little Anna. The girl wept over the fact that "Baby" was eyeless, but declared it was better as it was than having it burned up entirely. The fire caused a damage of about 000. The building was occupied by Nathan London.

Put Up in Mayor Low's Time, and Now Out of Business in South Brooklyn.

The first free public bath put up in Brooklyn, which lies submerged at the foot of Twenty-third street, was sold by public auction in Borough Hall to-day for $14, to McKeenen contractors. It was known as Public Bath No. 1, and was placed in commission in Mr. Low's time as mayor of old Brooklyn. It was found at the beginning of the season here that it was wholly useless and a bath to replace it was borrowed from Manhattan Borough.

The bidding was not very keen, and all the arts of Auctioneer Wiiliam H. Smith failed to stimulate 'the competition. A lot of furniture with a history was also sold. About two years ago a contractor named E. J.

Gleason installed new furniture in the Hall of Records. The furniture, while good, was declared to be unsuitable, and owner gutif was put in its place. The Gleason furniture went to a. storage warehouse and the borough authorities lost track of Gleason. When the furniture was put up at auction to-day it realized better prices than the city had paid for it.

In all, three desks, a bookcase and fifteen chairs brought In $236.75. THE COURTS. SUPREME COURT, TRIAL TERN Day calendar, October 23, 1908. Part Marean, Part 11, Crane, Part Ill, Carr, Part IV. Kelly, Part VI, Blackinar, 2069..
