r CENTER OF POPULATION.
' In the predictions as to the show 1
lag which the census figures would
jnake there was one virtually agreed
Apon—that the center of population
Would be shifted some distance west
jward from Its location In 1890, which
iwas six miles southeast of Columbus,
m, says Toledo Blade. But this pre
diction was one of the kind which
flpoes wrong. The census people have
tentatively announced that the mark
■will have to be moved but slightly.
•The west has flourished tremendous
IF, in ten yeafs. It has gained not
•only new railroads, but the old rail
goads have been renewed. Irrigation
torn caused new lands to be cultivated
And new cities and towns to be build
•d. Such cities as Seattle have
profited in wealth and population bj
the opening of new territory, the de
velopment of new resources, the fill
tog In of the once deserted spaces be
tween town and town. But In these
dame ten years an immense immigra
tion has been distributing itself in the
eastern cities—among the coal mines
<and steel plants of Pennsylvania, in
the* industrial districts of Lake Erie
It has offset the settlement of the
far west
Enforcing health regulations against
Ignorance and prejudice frequently is
Accompanied by difficulties. Cholera
£ revails in parts of Italy, and the of
ctals have taken wise precautions
Against the spread of the disease. And
jone result has been a riot, accom-
Eed by the wrecking of the health
s in the town of Barletta. Ol
course the rioters are taking the pre
dse course that opens the way for in
evasion by the deadly ailment. This
its an age of enlightenment, but there

! The world’s wheat crop this year la
estimated at a little under 3,500,000,-
1000 bushels, which will make it, with
tone exception, the largest ever gath
ered. The largest wheat Crop ever
gathered was that of last year, which
pas approximately 150,000,000 bushels
pore than the estimate of 1910. More
thaif half of the shortage is figured in
the crop of the United States. AV
(hough here as in Russia the crop is
shorter than last year, the reserve ol

THE Bli STRIKE '
IS QUICKLY ENDED
France is Now Counting Up tbe

MANY TOURISTS WERE KEPT AWAY
The Calling Of the Strikers To the
Colors Demoralized the Ranks of
the Strikers —Service On Most of
the Lines Practically Restored—
Concession Of a Minimum Rate Ol
a Dollar a Day—An Organization
To Destroy Railroad Property.
Paris (Special).—The losses from
the railroad strike, which is -now
rapidly petering out, have been many
millions of francs. Both Paris and
the provinces suffer heavily on ac
count of the disorganization of trade
and industries. The Parisian hotels
will feel the effects later, because
thousands of Europeans are aban
doning proposed visits to this city in
the fear that traveling in France,
would prove dangerous.
Three-fourths of the strikers call
ed to the colors responded, and this
served to dishearten many of thoee
who had left their posts. Service on
the Northern Railroad to Germany,
Belgium and England has practically
been restored. The Western road is
still disorganized, but conditions are .
improving.
Although the strike is considered
to have collapsed, reports from the
provinces show that there is still per
sistent holding up of trains and de
struction of materials. Further vio
lence is feared, and all the import
ant stations remain in the hands of
the police.
The striking masons, who went
out in sympathy with the railroad
employes, held another demonstra
tion in Paris. They stoned the po
lice and Republican Guard, who
charged the crowds. Several per
sons were Injured by the sabres
which the police were compelled to
draw and use freely.
The directors of the railroad com
panies involved in the strike agreed
to grant a minimum wage of $1 a
day to the employes of all lines run
ning out of Paris. Tbe new scale
will go into effect January 1 and con
stitutes tbe chief concession demand
ed by tbe men.
Cormeillesen, Paris (Special).—
Two hundred strikers held up three
trains. Including the expresses from
Paris and Dieppe, here, dragged off
and assaulted the crews, insulted the
passengers and uncoupled and dam
aged the cars.

IRON AND STEEL INSTITUTE
jjp> ; I ‘'' ' / *(<ls+{•%*{'..' ~d' t
Important Meeting of Big Iron
masters—Proceedings Secret
New York (Special).—lron mak
ers from many parts of the world
met at the Waldorf-Astoria here, In
attendance at the first general meet
ing of the American Iron and Steel
Institute. No such gathering of steel
makers has ever taken place before
in this country, and from it> results
may flow which will revolutionise
that gigantic industry In some of its
important branches.
The American Iron and Steel In
stitute is a new departure, inasmuch
as its aim is to deal not only with
the technical part of the industry,
but to take up its commercial side
as well, and hence invade the domain
of prices so important to the world
at large.
Other organizations, notably the
Iron and Steel Institute of Great Brit
ain, have existed for the exchange of
views regarding the technical aide of
steel making and have held many im
portant meetings, but the meeting to
day was probably the most important
step yet taken toward securing what
for a long time has been under dis
cussion, namely a world-wide corpora
tion among the makers of steel and
iron for' mutual protection in the
markets of the world in the matter
of productions and prices.
The movement looking to such a
thing has been going on quietly for
sometime.
Prominent among those who have
'been trying to bring it about are
Judge Gary, of the United States
Steel Corporation, but associated
with him in these efforts have been
representatives of many of the so
called Independents and the foreign
steel makers.
Already several meetings of the
new institute have been held, but it
was not until the meeting of today
that the American iron masters rub
bed shoulders with many of the great
iron masters of such countries as,
Great Britain, France and Germany
in the new movement to secure co
operation. Chief among these for
eign steel makers, perhaps.
Baron Von Bodenhausen, managing
director of the great Krupp works at
Essen. Colonel Sir Charles Allen, a
nephew of Sir Henry Bessemer and
president of Henry Bessemer ft Com
pany, of Sheffield, England, was an
other. All told, there were thirty
eight of the foreign steel makers
present, representatives of practical
ly all big foreign steel works.
STUDY PANAMA’S NEEDS.
Preparations For Taft’s Trip To the
Canal Zone.
Washington, D. C. (Special).—
Preparations are being made here
for President Taft’s trip to the Canal
Zone.
He will sail from Charleston, 8. C.,
November 10, on the armored cruisei
North Carolina, convoyed by the
cruiser’s sister ship Montana.
He will be in Panama but a few
days, but hopes to obtain sufficient
Information to guide him in dealing
with several matters of importance
affecting the administration of the
Canal Zone government. No specific
form of government having been pre
scribed as yet for that country
President Taft, in his executive
capacity. Is the supreme authority
there. ,
Mr. Taft desires to inform himself
also concerning the extent and
character of the fortifications need
ed, the fixing of the tolls for ves
sels going through the canal, the
proposed Increase in wages, the fu
ture management of the Panama
Railroad, the best form of perma
nent government for the Canal Zone
and the regulation of the sale of coal
at the terminal points. The govern
ment may itself sell coal, in order to
prevent extortion or monopoly.
PROBABLY FATALLY SHOT.
Man Remarked “Ob, You Kid!” To
Married Woman.
Atlanta, Ga. (Special).—M. B.
Baskin, a prominent young Atlantan
employed in local railroad offices, was
perhaps fatally shot on Forsyth street
by Hamp Lambert, a liveryman, fol
lowing an alleged insulting remark
addressed by Baskin to Mrs. Lam
bert as she was passing along the
street with her husband. It is said
that Baskin called out, “Oh, you kid,”
as the Lamberts passed him, where
upon Lambert turned, drew a re
volver, and placing it against Bas
kin’s neck, fired, Lambert disap
peared, but late tonight surrendered
to the sheriff. Baskin is in a hos
pital.
Miss Hayes Engaged.
Denver (Special). Miss Lucy
Hayes, daughter of J. Addison Hayes,
a Colorado Springs banker, and

Suicide After Reproof.
Paducah, Ky. (Special).—When a
fast freight rattled around a bend
and tore down the grade toward
Luzerne, 18-year-old Rosalie Pettie
ran along the track, and when the
engine was about a hundred feet
away, deliberately lay down across
one of the rails. A minute later the
mangled fragments of her body were
taken from under the train by the
crew. The girl had been corrected
by her father, and is thought to have
brooded over the punishment until
she determined to end her life.
WALTER WELLMAN OFF
TO EUROPE IN AIRSHIP
Sailing in the Track of the Big
Ocean Liners.
he moon is not so favorable
Messages Picked Uy By the Wireless
Station At Siasconsett, Mass., and
Conveyed To the Wife and Friends
Of the Expedition Leader Still
Cut Off From View By the Fog—•
ffext Messages Likely To Re Re
ceived From Sable Island. Mak
ing An Average Progress of 11
Miles An Hour.
, , *
Siasconsett, M,ass. (Special).—
Somewhere east of Nantucket Island,
off the coast of Massachusetts and
approximately 300 miles from At
lantic City, the starting point, Walter
Wellman’s airship America, signalled
a wireless “all’s well" and a good-by
at 12.45 o’clock Sunday afternoon
and swung on up the coast through
the fog. This message, the last of
the day’s wireless conversations, was
received here by A. H. Ginnian, the
Marconi operator, who had been on
the alert since dawn.
At 9 o’clock A. M. Siasconsett first
came in touch with the giant dirig
ible. Then, although the wireless
range of the craft is comparatively
short, owing to necessarily limited
power and attenae, the station was
surprised to hear its call, "M. S. C."
—clear and strong followed by
“W,” the code signature of the air
ship. Judging from tbe strength of
the signals, it was assumed that the
America was in close proximity to
Nantucket, and Immediately all the
life-saving stations and lighthouses
on the island were notified by tele
phone to keep a sharp lookout.
But the fog, which had enshrouded
the America since her departure, still
hung over the ocean, shutting off the
view. The Marconi station, however,
began a rapid-fire of interrogations
and learned from Jack Irwin, the
America’s operator, that the ship’s
motors had been stopped and that
the dirigible was heading east-north
east and making 25 miles an hour
with the wind. Nantucket's excite
ment was acute, but with motors
idle the airship sailed along as si
lently as a phantom in the sky, where
ordinarily the engine’s e:chausts
would have reverberated along the
coast.
However, the Electric voice of the
Marconi station filled in at times
what the eye and ear were denied
and intermittently the operators here
exchanged greetings with their late
associate, who, it will be recalled, re
ceived at this station the dramatic
“C. Q. D.” from the ill-fated steam
ship Republic.
From that time on the signals
from the airship grew steadily weak
er until finally at 12.45 a message
was flashed from here asking if
everything aboard was O. K. Faint
ly came the reply “Yes,” then fainter
still the two letters “G. 8.,” good
by.
Unable to take observations in the
fog, the'America’s exact position re
mained unknown throughout the day
as has been the case since she set
sail. Her course, however, has been
along the steamship lines and as no
word to the contrary has been re
ceived the assumption is that Mr.
Wellman, with 50 days’ fuel and 50
days’ provisions aboard, is adhering
to his plan pf crossing the Atlantic
and landing on the British Isles. It
is likely that no further wireless
word from the airship will be receiv
ed here.
When last heard from during the
day—l2.4s P. M.—the America had
been in the air just 18 minutes less
than 29 hours, and having covered
approximately 300 miles, must have
averaged in forward progress be
tween 10 and 11 miles an hour. At
this rate the craft would not pass
Sable Island, 450 miles distant from
Nantucket, until 9 o’clock Tuesday
morning, and Cape Race, 350 miles
farther, 7 o’clock Wednesday even
ing.
Boston (Special).—“The outlook
is not so favorable, but we are keep
ing up the fight,” was one of the
messages sent by Walter Wellman
from the dirigible balloon America
and picked up by wireless Sunday.
The message was sent while the
America's operator was in communi
cation with the Siasconsett station.
Mother Sees Son Killed.
Spartanburg, S. C. (Special).—Be

Pleasant Garrison, eight years old,

Wife Mistreated and Killed.
Hammondton, N. J. (Special).—
Police officials investigating the mur
der of Mrs. Mary Strong, who was
found dead in a stable on her hus
band’s farm, near here, with her skull
crushed, said today that they be
lieve the woman was mistreated be
fore being killed. They declare that
her slayer or slayers probably, fear
ing recognition, beat her to death
with a hoe. The body of Mrs. Strong
was found by her husband upon his
return home from a business trip.
THE MAINE MAY FLOAT A6AIN
President Taft Authorizes the Rais n£
of War Vessels.
Beverly (Special).—President Taf!
finally approved plans for raising ths
wreck of the battleship Maine from
Havana Harbor, which calls for th<
completion of the work on or before
the thirteenth anniversary of the de
structlon of the war vessel, Febru
ary 15 next. The work 1b to be done
• according to plans made by army
1 engineers and to be under direction
, of an engineer officer.
The President believes that the
paramount question in the raising ol
’ the Maine is the determining for all
>, time of the cause of the explosion
, and whether the source of destruc
tion was from the outside or insid
the vessel. For this reason he de
sires that the work shall be retained
in the hands of the army. engineers
- and not let out by contract.
By direction of the President,
- Spain has been invited to send a
■ representative to Havana to be pres
' ent during the work of exposing and
removing the wreck.
The disposition of the old hulk re
■ mains to be settled. The army engi
neers believe it will be possible to
• float the after two-thirds of the ves
i sel. The forward third, where the
i explosion wrought the greatest havoc
and killed the greatest number of the
crew while they were asleep in their
■ quarters, is believed to be too tar
- gone ever to be taken as a whole
i and the wreckage will be removed
piecemeal.
If Congress approves the recom
i mendation of the engineers, the
wreck be taken out to sea and
given, a ceremonial burial in deep
water, there to remain until the end
! of time.
Various plans have been sug
-1 gested of exhibiting the wreck and
i preserving it, but none of these finds
i favor with the authorities at Wash
ington.
The wreck is now In 25 feet of
. water. It has sunk but one foot in
i the 12% years since it went down,
i Underneath the wreck soft mud has
, been found to a depth of five to eight
i feet, and beneath this there is hard
i clay. Congress has already appro
i priated $300,000 for the work.

Havana (Special).—For hours dur
ing Sunday night and all through
Monday morning Cuba was in the
grip of a storm, which blew up with
great violence from the Southwest
and attained its greatest force short
ly before noon. Then the wind
shifted to the West and the sea began
to rise, the wageß sweeping in upon
the city. Within an hour, the pound
ing of the waters had broken a breach
through the Malecon Sea wall. The
waves quickly increased to mountain)
heights, engulfing the Malecon driven
way and flooding the handsome resin
dences facing theron for a distance
of a mile.
The waters, still rising! invaded all
the seaward part of the city until 3
o’clock in the afternoon, when the
section bounded by the Malecon, the
Pardo and the boulevards Calzada, de
Galiano and Animas were several
feet under water. The residents of
the lower floors were driven to seek
refuge on higher levels, while de
tachments of soldiers, rural
police and firemen, assisted by mem
, bers of the Red Cross and fishermen*
with boats, which were'dragged from;
the harbor, hastened to the submerg
ed district and rescued hundreds from
buildings that threatened to collapse)
at any moment.
Vedado, a residential suburb, was
exposed to the full fury of the storm.)
The sea advanced some hundred)
yards Inland, demolishing manyi
small structures, and probably caus-i
lng loss of life. The rumor that the)
city had been struck by a tidal wave)
added to the general panic, which &aa
allayed shortly after 3 o’clock, when
the wind perceptibly abated, and thei
water ceased to rise. The upper part)
of the Prado was then filled witb
throngs of panic-stricken negroes*
carrying such household effects as;
they could rescue from their own
homes.
The jail, at the foot of the Prado*
was completely surrounded by water,
and the prisoners, mad with fear,
clung to the barred windows clamor
ously demanding to be removed to a
place of safety. It was feared for a
time the prisoners would break loose*;
but armed guards held them in check
with rifles until the water began t<>
recede.
At the height of the storm the
great waves breached clean over the
ramparts of Morro Castle. They roll- 1
ed with terrifld speed up. the h arborj
tumbling over the sea walls, inundat
ing the streets in the lower part off
the city, carrying away many of the
small craft along the shores andj (
swamping many lighters which es
caped the blow dqring the earlier
hours. All the steamers in the har
bor remained at anchor, the engines)
working and holding their ground. J
President Gomez, in an automobile*
visited the inundated sections and
other threatened parts of the city.,
He directed the work of rescue and
encouraged the soldiers, police and
firemen, and later he visited the hos
pitals, to which many injured and’
destitute persons had been taken.
Arrangements are being made to
quarter the homeless In the barracks
and other government buildings.
