STORMS
REPORTED BY ATLAN
TIO STEAMERS.
Buffeted by Rough and
Immense Seas.
Passengers Had a Bad
Scare, but Officers and
"Crew of La Savoie
Restored Quiet.
New York, Jan. 13. 'All steamers
arriving In port today report encoun
tering yery heavy storms on the trip
across and La Savoie of tho French
line, from Havre, showed plenty of
ovldences of her encounter with
rough weather in mid-ocean.
On January 9, while all tho passen
gers were asleep at 2 o'clock In tho
morning, an Immense- sea smashed
aboard across the starboard bow, and
the huge body of water rushed aft,
filling the decks and carrying away
everything not securely lashed. The
promenade dock was forced up. the
heavy rods of the railing being buck
led, several stanchions snapped and
more than one part of the rail carried
away. The tak deck was splintered
and shattered and badly buckled.
While the electric lighting system was
put out of commission. All of the
passengers on board were in a state
of utter panic, but this was quelled
by the ship's company. From 2
o'clock until noon the big vessel
fought the waves, which time and
again raked her from end to end.
The Savoie was off the Hook Sat
urday afternoon, but on account of
thick weather her captain did not at
tempt to come up to ''quarantine, al
though the American liner St Louis,
from Southampton, which came about
12 'hours Inter, did not' hesitate, but
came straight up 'through the lower
bay at"a good lively clip. The result
was the St. Louis' passengers were
landed early today, while those of the
Savoie did not get ashore until after
noon. They complained bitterly of
what they characterized as the tim
idity of the Savole's captain.
Among the passengers on the Sa
voie were, Col. B. Raspopot, military
attache of tho Russian embassy at
Washington, and Captain Mahan of
the United States army, a brothor of
Naval Historian Mahan.
Another vessel to get in today waB
the Cunard liner Oarmania,- from
Liverpool and Queenstown. Captain
Watt 4eolared the weather was as bad
as he had encountered In many years,
but his ship behaved well and no
damage was sustained. 9
On tho steamer Allegheny, which
got in from Kingstown, tonight, were
three of the orew of the wreck
ed North German Lloyd line, Prin
oessln Victoria Louise, and a quanti
ty of salvage from that seamer.
THE MISSING BROWN
' Jail Breaker Said to Have Been Seen
on Wabash Train.
Special to Mornlntr News.
Wooster. 0., Jan. 13. Much ex
cltment was shown in this cny whon
the report to the effect that ,Ed.
Brown, who broke jail in this city last
Friday, had been seen in a train on
the Wabash road and that he had
boarded the train at Orrville. The
roport, however, has been denied and
If it was Drown he is now among the
missing.
The first word of the affair was
received here by Sheriff Caskey and
was started by Abraham Doneke, of
Smlthvllte, who was on the train at
tho Um,
Mr, Deneko states that when tho
train was pulling out of Orrville,
Drown boarded It and was at once
recognized by him, although he had
hiB mustache shaved off. Ho went to

Whon the train reached Smlthvlllo,
where Deneko loft tho train, tho agent
at that placo recognized Brown, They
told tho conductor and also sent word
to the sheriff.
When Caskey rccolved tho news ho
notified the authorities at Creston
and told them to arrest him. Word
received from this place states that
the conductor failed to let them
search tho train. The authorities at
Wellington, 0., state that they were
kept from the train also.
The conductor stated that tho man
had paid his fare to Toledo and the
authorities of that place were noti
fied. The train was duo In Toledo
shortly after midnight, and although
officers were at tho train they failed
to get any track of Brown. No word
has been received In this city telling
of Brown's arrest, and if tne man was
Brown, as tho Smlthvlllo residents
claim, he Is yet a freo man.
The daughter, who charges her
father with incest, was greatly pleas
ed when sho heard the news of her
father's capture, for she with other
members of the family, are living
in constant fear that Brown will re-'
turn and do them bodily harm.

tho action of tho ocean New York
state has no sito for her building on

FOR CHILDREN
A STRONG PLEA IS
MADE
By the Rev. Dr. Madison
C. Peters.
Noted New York Divine
Declares "Race Sui
cide" Preferable to
Ohild Labor.-
New York, Jan. 13. Dr. Madison
C. Peters in the prelude to his ser
mon today In the Majestic Theatre,
said:
"In the name of Him who 3ald,
'Suffer the little children to come un
to me, I lift my voice in behalf of
tho children In tho fires of -e fac
tory, tho Inferno of the mill and the
sweatshops, and ask: Can they be
come civilized men and women when
every right is denied them that the
coffers of a privileged few may be
stored with gold, accursed Rold, coin
ed from the blood and bono of Inno
cence? "A few days ago one of tho mis
representatlves of tho people, speak
ing in the capitalist's club, mice
known as the United States senate,
declared that child labor laws nie
unconstitutional By all that we hold
dear; by the memories of the pa3t and
our hopes for the future, we answer,
this abomination must stop-. This
traffic in Innocence which is calling
down upon our country the scorn and
ridicule of the world, must end, even
if we have to change tne constitu
tion of the United States. The world
with withering scorn justly points its
finger and exclaims:
" 'You emancipated the black
slaves, but you have riveted yoiu
iron chains upon the limbs of your
whito child.'
"Men, yot who glory in the past,
and look forward with high hopes to
the future, I appeal to you for the
honor of your manhood, to raise a
concerted voice which snail be heard
ringing from the Atlantic to tho Pa
cific in denunciation of this crime of
the century, this robbery of the sac
red rights of childhood, which is
striking at our very vitals and under
mining the foundations of our nation
al life. Will you women, who would
lay down your very Hve3 that your
little -dimpled darlings might live,
will you Stand unmoved and silently
look upon the slaughter of tho Inno
cents? "Tho corporations toll us 'child la
bor Is necessary to commerce.' If
commerce is to bo built on the blood
and bone of children, better that
commerce fall, better to down the
civilization that allows it; better to
return to the primeval barbarities of
the savage, again to roam the forest
and the wilds, and have our children
as nature Intended not stunted by
slavery. The chains of this commer
cial serfdom must be broken if we
mean to have a futuie worthy of the
past. Wo dare riot distort the mater
ial of which nationhood is built. In
the mines and tho factories of our
land, both norih. and south, boys and
girls of tender years aro ' working
from 10 to 1 5hours a day until the
little Hmb3 fail to support the fra
gll bodies; these boys and girls are
stunted in both mind and body, their
ideas are perverted, without educa
tion, without any conception of right
living, yet these boys and girls are
to be the future progenitors of the
race. What sort of fathers and moth
ers wIlL they make, what kind ofr a
progeny will' be theirs?
"I Yie with any man in loving re
gard for Theodore Roosevelt, the

of degenerates. But what care the

forced perjury, woiks for their ag
grandizement and adds to their wat
ered stocks? Once when the child
was put to work, tho learning of a
trade or some useful avocation was
the object In view, but for the child
slave there is no goal; it is simply a
piece of human machinery, which
saves tho expense of the inanimate
machinery that requires adult skill to
manipulate It Our economic condi
tions aro responsible for this crying
evil. Tho scale of wagos has not
kept pace with the march of'necessl
tles. In our cities and manufacturing
centers rents have lndroi3ed almost
two-fold within tho last decade; pro
visions cornered by the corporations
have been correspondingly high; lif
had became a bitter contest for the
poor and many parents actually driv
en to sell their little ones into de
basing, life-destroying slavery. Their
aid had to be called in to make a
living, until children out of arms, aro
pressed into service as bread winners,
and ja-ents little realize, until too
late, that such a policy Is penny wis
dom and dollar foolish. The dollar a
weeic which the little hands brinj into
the, family are a miserable barter
for tho blessings of an. education and
the deprivation of the finer sensibll
i'''s ot humanity, which are often
lost in the factory and the mill.
"When young glrjs work with
hardened sin-grimed men is it any
wonder that in after years when they
giT.Micit from the fac ory. -.he mill
or the swcatshoi), we .find them on
the streets. The boys grow hardened
to crime little wonder that they war
upon society ha3 not society made
war upon them by denying the oppor
tunities and lessons of civilization.'
Let severe laws be put upon our stat
ute books and rigidly enforced and
let there also be uniformity In the
law as applicable to all states."
FLEMING RELEASED

Andrew Flemmlng, arrested at

land, a horse thief who escaped from

ERILS OF SEA
WRECK ON CAPE COD
SHORE.
Vessel Strayed From
Beaten Track.
Captain and Crew of
Twenty-Eight Men Still
Stay by the Stranded
Vessel.
Chatham, Mass., Jan. 13. Straying
from tho beaten track, tho Clyde
steamer Onondaga, Captain Bunnell,
Boston, for Charleston and Jackson
ville, grounded on Orleans Beach
early today. Although surrounded
withing thirteen hours by a good
sized wrecking fleet, the chances of
the vessel's laying her iron bones be
sides the thousand or more other
Cape Cod wrecks were considered
about even lato tonight. At low water
this afternoon the Onondaga was
nearly high and dry. None of the
ciew came ashore, as the vessel at no
time today was in danger of break
ing up. The steamer came onto the
beach nearly head on snore, and the
heavy sea soon drove her stern
around until at daylight her nose
was pointing back toward Boston.
Bunnell told those on shore this af
ternoon that he did not see the Nan
sett lights when lie came by them
although he had made Highland light
an hour or two before. He judged his
vessel to be a considerable distance
to the south and hauled In shore to
make a land fall or pick up some
light. The life savers stated today
that the night was clear although
cloudy and that th Chatham lights
and even the lights on the Pollock
Rip shoal light ship, eight miles off
the southeast could be seen. The
course around Cape Cod is a familiar
one and vessels cover a well beaten
track along the cape from Highland
light to Nansett lights, when their
course takes them gradually off shore
to the entrance of Pollock Rip Slue,
which Is marked by tho Pollock Rip
shoal lightship. It sometimes hap
pens, however, that in many off shoro
gales vessels will hunt the shore for
some distance below Nansett before
striking off the slue.
The Onondaga was about two miles
inside the regular course when she
struck the beach. At dark tonight
Captain Bunnell shouted ashore that
his vessel was still tight and showed
no signs of breaking up, although
sho had been hammered steadily all
day and spray was continually flying
over her. The Onondaga is used en
tirely for freight on the Boston and
Jacksonville line. She was built in
Philadelphia in 1905, and 2155 tons
net. She carries a crew of 28 men.
"Special" served from 11 to 1 only.
TRAFFIC BLOCKED
Slip on the Wabash, Near Steubenvllle,
Stops All Trains.
Steubenvllle, Jan. 13. Traffic on
Wabash railroad is blocked by a slip
700 feet long and 50 feet high on
the West Virginia side of tho Mingo
bridge. The ground is a fill on
quicksand formation and such a
quantity of earth has fallen that it
has filled West Virginia Cross creek,
and shoved the creek over into a
corn field. The slip took place Just
as a froight train was passing west,
and all of the train got over but six
cars and the caboose, which went over
the hill. One brakeman was injured.
When Engineer Long felt the ground
give he put on a full head of steam
and nearly all the train went over
with tho earth creeping. The part that
got over the slip ran out on the
bridge before stopping.
