STEAMER LOST
CREW JUMP

Ashland, Wl»„ Dec. 16.—No trace hai
been found of the mining eteamer
Manletque, which disappeared In the
darkness off Sand Island at 7 o'clock
last night. The fate of the Ireland Is
still unknown, but os It had only one
anchor out and Its pumps stopped when
the wreck occurred, It la probably lost.
There Is only one small boat at Bay-
field to send out, and that Is the tug
E. G. Crosby, which figured In the sen
sational rescue of the crew.
It suffered Injury by bumping against
the Ireland and was leaking badly, but
has been patched and will be sent out
as far as Is safe, but the seas are too
rough to allow It tb venture outside the
Islands. Captain Mlnsksy, of the Ire,
land, will be In charge of the searching
expedition.
We were forced to turn In the heavy
seas," said the first mate of the Ireland.
It was about 7 o’clock and the Manls-
tlque was towing us and the tug Cros
by was following. Suddenly the line
parted and caught In our wheel. The
seas broke over and we fell Into the
trough of the sea. We blew distress
signals, but the Manlstlque had disap
peared and we never knew what hap
pened to It and never saw It again.
Watchman Andy Bellon tried to Jump
to the Crosby, but disappeared In the
water."

LEAPED TO DEATH
FROM BIG LINER
New York, Dec. 16.—They had been
talking about Christmas about a week
ago tonight In the steerage of the Cun-
•rder Lucania, which got In today from
Liverpool.
"'Veil. I don't expect to see another
Christmas." said Mike Quigley, one of
passenger*.

Paris. Dec. 16.—From seml-offlclals
many new fat t were learned today r*
gardlng the fight against the nev
church and state separation law now
being made by the Vatican.
the extraordinary situation In
Franco, the chief peril Ilea, not
with the Vatican or with the Clem-
enceau adinlnlitratlon. but with the
known foes of republican Institutions.
Behind the whole trouble, as It has
developed, finally, are precisely the
same political forces as used the Drey-
fus agitation to cover their anti-repub
lican schemes. They are the reaction
ists—so-called Nationalists, Bonapart-
Ists, Bourbons.
They Hate the Republic.
Their program In the Dreyfus agita
tion was to bring on civil war. This Is
what they would like to brlhg on now;
they care no more for the vaUcan than
for the Clemenceau government. They
hate the republic.
Drastic as are the special messages !
of Clemenceau, there Is no disposition j
on his part to enforce them In a man- i
ner to humiliate the Vatican, least of:
all Its majestic tenant. ’ I
The act. as originally adopted, lacked,
adequate penalties for Infraction. 1
Government Won’t Recede. j
Not the slightest ground appears for (
thinking that the government will re
cede from Its many contentions or that
any government could live a week
which ventured to modify the funda- •
mental principle of the separation.
Clemenceau Is not a man of two
minds and the efforts of his erlllcs to
prove him Inconsistent have felled. Be-
kind him stand not the avowed secu
larists only, hut a large majority nf i
educated Roman Catholics.
Compromise Is still possible; Is still |
likely. It Is unthinkable that the ad- •
vlsers Of the pope will advoeate a trial i
of strength with the republic.
There are indications that a serious |
division exists In the Sacred College,
as to the wisdom of the policy of Car
dinal Merry Del Val, and It le no secret i
that the ahlest statesman the papacy I
has known for 40 years. Cardinal Ram ■ 1
polls, believes a mistake has been;
made.
An Auspicicus Feature.
CATHOLICS CAN WORSHIP
IN THEIR OWN CHURCHES
IF THE NEW BILL PASSES
Paris, Dec. 16.—At a council of minister! today It was decided to st^b-,
mlt a bill to parliament which, while carrying out all the provisions of
the church and state separation law, would enable Catholics to worship
In their churchee. While no Intimation has been made as to the form of
this bill, It Is said on reliable authority that the ministers ere hoping to
■end the bill to the chamber of deputies tonight.
The prefect of Bordeaux haa notified Cardinal Lecot to leave his pal
ace within eight days. The bishop of Arras was expelled from his palace
last evening, Rfter he had read a protest In which he declared thnt he
yielded only to force. After the departure of-the bishop the authorities
began the expulsion of the Inmates of the great seminary of Arras. They
were obliged to demolish the doors which had been barricaded with tree
trunks, benches and mattresses. Finally the seminaries were expelled aft
er they had made a protest similar to that of the bishop.
Japan Is Trying To
Get Possession
of Island.
GOVERN OR .ENJ OINED
from Making sale
Fully 2,000 Fighting Japs
Reported To Be in Haw
aiian Isles.
Honolulu, Dec. 16.—The officer* of
the transport Thomas have announced
that two American regiments are to be
rushed to the Islands In anticipation of
trouble with the Japanese.
They absolutely refuse to give out
any of the details bearing upon the call
for troops or ths reason why the gov
ernment feels that soldiers of Uncle
Sam are necesasry In the islands, which
at this time are overrun by the little
brown men.
It Is understood that the mikado was
extremely anxious to sscure possession
of the Island of Lanai, which Is private
property. This le several miles from
Honolulu and It could be. used as a na
val base against the United States by
any nation securing It.
Last night Attorney George D. Gear
secured an Injunction against Governor
Carter and Land Commissioner Pratt
to prevent their selling the Island to n
syndicate. It Is understood that the
syndicate represents the Japanese gov
ernment, or people who ultimately ex
pect to dispose of the Island to Japan.
The possession of this Island by the
mikado would be a very serious menace
to the United 8tate*. Of late a great
number of Japanese have come to this
Island. Most of these men are sup
posed to be member* of the Japanese
army and navy. Many ’ of them are
said to be highly efficient military of
ficers.
In all. It I* thought that about 2,000
of the recent Japanese arrivals are
.reined flgbtln men. It Is believed
that the proposed Importation of two
regiments of Untted -States regulars Is
for the purpose of offsetting the pres
ence of the Japanese soldiers In dis
guise.

That Atlanta spirit Is being moved,
but It le not moving fnst enough.
Aroused by the absolute need of the
Georgia Tech through articles In The
Georgian, eleven more patriotic At
lantan* have responded to the call for
help and ae a result the fund was
swelled Saturday by 1670.
But even at that, less than half the
money has been raised. Georgia Tech
needs 17.500 for the purchase of those
two bndly-needed lots. It must be
raised before January 1 or the lots can
not be secured at any price. The own
er won't sell them after that date.
Of this amount necessary 32,995 has
been raised. Atlanta people know
what the Georgia Tech Is and what
benefit Atlanta people have derived
from It. The story is an old one. It
need not be told dally tq Impress upon
the people of Atlanta the necessity of
responding liberally to the appeal from
this Institution.
Following the lead of The Georgian,
which headed the list with a.subscrip
tion of 3260, a number of Atlantnns
have subscribed, but there ore others
who have not.- There are thousands of
Atlanta people who point with pride to
the Georgia Tech and who are finan
cially able to help the Institution In Its
hour of need.
DISORDER AT CHRISTMAS
NOT TO BE TOLERATED,
SAYS JUDGE BROYLES
“I want to put everybody on notice that no disorderly con
duct during the Christmas holidays will be tolerated. The police
have received orders to arrest anybody cursing, fighting or cre
ating any disorder on the streets. Any man or hoy caught
shooting guns or pistols in the city, even if nothing but bluuk
cartridges artj used, will be given the limit of the law. And any

concealed, any pistol, brass-knucks, dirk or other dangerous
weapons, will he given the-limit of the law ip the recorder’s

“I warn all parties that no excuses or pleas will prevent
such persons being given the extent of the law. We njust and

New York, Dec. 15.—The police to
day raided Madison Rquarc Garden,
following the ex pone of the fraud slx-
day bicycle rare being held there.
On being charged by the police, the
crowdn which had infeated the Garden
continually during the week became a
wild, fighting mob. In the battle waged
between the police reserves from many
stations and the mob many person*
were Injured, the police applying their
long night sticks freely and the fren-
sled crowd hurling beer glasses, etc.
Policemen and civilians were beaten
down; clubs and revolvers were used
aa weapons. No person's life was safe.
Women Fight With Mob.
Many women, mostly the poor crea
tures from the under world, were there,
and they Joined In the frightful scenes
of rioting, fighting as viciously ae did
the men.
Heavy beer glasses by thousands,
remnants of the revels which have
marked every day and night, were
hurled across the arena. Booths were
knocked over, railings torn down, the
saucer-shaped track Invaded and there
as only the poorest attempt at keep

the police continued, calls were sent for
more reserves, but the crowds which
had been In the Garden all night—and
hundreds there all week—fought des

a regiment of soldiers would be needed
to check the disorder.
The rioting was a mighty protest
against the whole fraud of the week In
Madison Square Garden. The man
agement started the battle by calling Jn
60 policemen to rout the tramps, va
grants and perhaps criminals who en
tered the Garden last Sunday, and who
have not been out of It since then.

RIOTERS NOT ATLANTANS?
ENGLISH AND HILL SAY
IMPORTED TOUGHS DID II
Judge Broyles laid down the law Saturday morning. gave rltiscn*
of Atlanta, old and young, white upd hJsi*k, to understand i learly what
the law regarding weapons means, and that It will lie enforced. He pro
poses to draw no distinction between the Christinas season and any other
season, so far as violations of the law are concerned.
The public may take warning. There will be no excuses tolerated. The
plea of "Christmas celebration” will not take a dollar or a day from the
penalty for carrying weapons or shooting firearms.
The Christmas season Is a religious festival, not a carnival of delirious
excitement and disorder. In the name of religion. It Is not to be turned
Into a debauch. ’In the name of ifcw and order It must not be made a
season of riot. Atlanta will have a Joyous Christmas this year, a Christmas
of happiness, of peace on earth and good will toward men. But the law
says that It shall not be marked by disorder and lawbreaking, and Recorder
Broyles has announced that the law will be upheld.

Tills new phase of the riot was de
veloped through questions nf Captain
English regarding the Identity or he

present in the Interest of Mr. Bost-

Identity of the participants In the dis

"Well, Mr. Hill,” queried Captain
English, "from your Investigation what
is your conclusion as to the rioters?”
"I am Hatisfled. captain,” responded
the solicitor, "that the rioters were
alinply imported toughs, who were un
known to our citizens.”
”1 saw a great deal of the .disorder
on the night of the riot,” resumed Cap
tain English, speaking to the commis
sion, "and I arrived at the same opinion
as Mr. Hill. I believe the rioters were
nothing more than toughs who came
here from other daces."
Accused of Buying on
Credit and Prepar
ing to Jump Town.
Stylishly dressed In red with large
plcturo hats to match. Miss Annie
MH®*. 18 years old. and Miss .Annie
* 4 . y™ n of age, were arrested
shortly before 1 o clock Saturday after
noon Just us they were about to leave
Atlanta behind them with all Its trou
bles and worries.
Now they are behind the bars of a
cell In the matron’s ward at pollco
headquarters weeping and bemoaning
their fate.
Both girln are pretty and their ar
rest In a crowded Atlanta and West i
Point ;ra'n Just ns it was pulling out
of the terminal station caused a senna-
tlon among the passengers. And 'mil
not Policeman Bpratlln hod the train
hold, both young women would have
been for beyond the reach of the At
lanta police.
If what the police believe Is true,
these girls will have to answer several
charges of swindling and getting goods
under false pretenses. Already the po
lice are In communication with people
to whom the girls applied for goods on
done under nsme*
credit nnd this wn* <
different than those given at police
headquarter*.
Their arrest was caused by E. B.
Durham, a Jeweler at 73 Edgewood ave
nue, who sold the girls two gold
watches Friday for 126 sach. He say#
one was to have made a payment Fat-
urday and the other said she would
pay part of the money next Tuesday.
He received a Jolt Saturday afternoon
when Informed by a crippled stranger
that both girl* were preparing to leave
Atlanta. He hastened to the terminal
station and Informed Policeman Bprat
lln of the facta That official started
for the Atlantu and West Point train
Just as It started to leave Atlanta, and
It was necessary to have the train held.
Miss Miles said she lived at 137 West
Fair street and that she worked as u
telephone operator, while Miss Fannin
said her boarding place was at IS Edge-
wood avenue, and that she was em
ployed by the Robertson Overall Co.
After their arrest, the police began
searching for others who might know
something about the girls and this
search resulted In the Fair stor* peo
ple on Whitehall street, claiming to
iave sold the girls two suit* Friday on
credit, and the police believe these are
the same stylish red suits that they
had on when arrested.
It was also claimed by ths F: M.
Buchanan Millinery Company, of 420
Decatur street, that both girl, came
to the store Friday and wanted to
purchase hats. Miss Miles was turned
down, but a hat was sold to Mb'. Fan
nin.
When they arrived at police head
quarters both girls wept end declar'd
their arrest was an outrage and that
they did not Intend swindling anybody.
They said they were only golog to Tal.
lessee, Ala. to spend Sunday with Ml-*
Fannin's people. They both Insisted
thst they were coming back to Atlanta
Monday.
"I am an honest girl,” tragically de
clared Miss Fannin when taken-to po
lice headquarters, "and I never stole
anything In my life. We both Intend
paying for the watches nnd neither .-f
us thought of leaving Atlanta an.I not
returning."
