WORLD IS SICK OF
POLITICIANS, SAYS
CHARLES 0, DAWES
DAWES SPECIAL EN ROUTE
TO CHICAGO FROM ST. PAUL—
Charles G. Dawes, republican can
didate for vice-president, who head
ed the expert s committee th6t
drafted the European reparations
settlement plan, declared "the pro
posal was successful and is going to
be successful simply because the
whole world was just about as sick
of politicians as the American pub
lic is getting to be.”
This view was expressed by Mr.
Dawes in a campaign address Fri
day night at St. Cloud, Minn., a
German center where he had been
urged to explain the reparations
plan and its effect upon Germany.
It was his first statement on the
plan since he began his speaking
campaign as tho republican vice
presidential nominee.
Mr. Dawes disclaimed credit for
the plan, asserting that “the truth
compels me to say that while my
name is attached to that report
because I was chairman of the
committee, it was a group effort."
At one point Mr. Dawes referred
to the reception committee gather
ed on the stage back of him as
these "political pee-wits.”
He was condemning inconsistency
among political leaders, from which
he did not except those of his own
party.
"I am not saying this to get
votes," he said, and pointing to the
reception committee, added:
"By saying that I am losing as
many votjs from these political
pee-wits back here as I am gaining
votes out there in the audience.”

“Silent” Carson
Enters Silence
STOCKTON, Cal.—" Silent” Car
son. former notorious bandit, is
dead. He died maintaining the sil
ence he had preserved for 15 years
and which had saved him from the
gallows.
Charles Carson whose real name
was Corcoran, had a long prison
record, beginning in New York,
when he was 9 years old. Other
terms in prison followed. Carson
was sentenced to be hanged for his
part in a rtTirder and in Sept. 1909
while occupying a cell in the con
demned row, waiting execution, he
suddenly stopped talking. No in
telligible word ever was heard to
pass his lips again.
He was subjected to many tests
by alienists and finally in January
1913, was declared insane and com
mitted to'the hospital -or the in
sane here, where he died Wednes
day. The insanity verdict provided
that if he ever recovered his sanity
th sentence of death would be car
ried out. Even the announcement
February, 1917, that Governor
Hiram W. Johnson had commuted
his sentence to life imprisonment
in ease of recovery failed to bring
a single syllable from him.

Record Breaker In Baseball History
CHICAGO.—Tyrus Raymond Cobb,
brilliant leader of the Detroit Ti

Plague
Raging
In Russ
Capital
LEINGRAD—Spotted typhus has
broken out in this storm swept city,
adding its horrors to the flood.
Over a hundred cases of the dis
ease are being registered dally and
doctors and nurses are overwhelm
ed in the work of caring for the
patients.
One of the most gruesome as
pects of the flood was tho havoc
wrought in the cemeteries where
newly made graves were washed
out by the avalanche of water and
the bodies floated away in the
streets. The dangers of the. pestil
ence are very great and the author
ities are taking stringent measures
to check the spread of the disease.
Although the population is still suf
fering grievously from the effects of
last Tuesday's storm the city Is
gradually returning to its normal
calm.
Seventy-four out of 103 state
factories have resumed operations
and the government has appointed
M. Znoviev, Kammeneff, Kalinin
and Smyroff a special commission
to appraise the losses caused by the
flood and to determine the sums
necessary for reconstruction and re
lief work.
MUSEUMS SUFFER
HEAVY LOSSES
The museums of the city suffered
greater losses than any other in
stitutions in the flood. A great part
of the priceless collections of
paintings, tapestry and antiquities
of the museum Alexander 111
was destroyed, 250 cases of art ob
jects having been removed from tlie
water while 50 cases are still soak
ing. perhaps irreparably damaged.
In the famous Academy of
Sciences ninety-five salons were
flooded, causing destruction of hun
dreds of thousands of dollars' worth
of property The zoological and
enthnographical musecums also
suffered great losses.
The suburb of Peterhof was
harder bit than any other of the
adjacent towns. In the palace the
water rose to a height of two feet,
seriously damaging the magnificent
period furniture and paintings.
The steamship wharf with Its his
torical collection of cannon was
wrecked and washed away while
the roads leading to Peterhof
were completely washed out. Near
ly 1,000 trees were uprooted. The
property loss, it now is estimated,
will run into millions, while ihe
intrinsic loss can not be accurately
measured.
