Imaging American boys assembling
In relay teams to deliver newspapers!
At Kalamata, In Greece, this Is the
method that obtains for delivering
morning newspapers.
The main square in Kalamata, where
the newspapers are sold, is a fall half
mile fromi the railway, station. Keen
rivalry exists between the carriers off
the various papers, and from the mo*
ment the train arrives there Is a great
contest to be the first to place the pa
person the stands at the square.
•Relay teems of newsies have been
organized, and these accomplish the
delivery of papers in a little more than
two minutes, each member racing with
bundle of papers a short distance,
and then passing his burden into the
hands of the next runner.
The race is the subject of much In
terest among the townspeople, who
tlke^he spirit of the boys.
I
Boy Soout Anniversary.
The fifth anniversary of the orgaat

degree from foreign countries. The
event doubtless, as In the past, will re
ceive recognition from officers of the
national administration, from gover
nors of states and from workers with
boys In cities ajTfar scattered as Hono

River.
Chicago, July 24.—A thous
persons lost their lives in the Chi
cago river Saturday by the capsiz
ing of the excursion steamer,
taslland, while wharfing from its
v/harf with more than 2,400 em"
plcyes of the Western Electric
Company and their relatives and
friends on board, bound fot a
pleasure trip across Lake Michi
gan.
After working ceaselessly all
day and far into the night the
bodies of 842 victims of the cat
astrophe, most of them wom*n
auci children, were collet *«id from
temporary morgues and taken lo
the Second Regiment Armory
where the bodies have been tag
ged. Coroner Kaufman, taking
into consideration estimates of
sodies, thought to be in the hold
of the steamer lying on its side
in the river, said that he had hop"
ed that the total dead would not
exceed 1,000.
Every effort was made by the
thousands of persons on the river
wharf to rescue the drowning men
and women. Mothers went to
death while their children were
snatched to safety, and other
children died in the arms of their
parents, who were finally saved.
Hundreds of girls, released for a
day from their tasks of making
telephones and other apparatus
in the factory of the Western El
ectric company, and dressed 'n
their smartest white frocks, were
miserably drowned.
Kolin avenue, a small street
near the factory of the Western
Electric company, was in univers
al mourning tonight. Every house
lost from one to all of its occu
pants in the disaster. One large
house, in which dwelt two fami"
lies of workers in the factory, was
without a light tonight and neigh
bors said that every one of the
household had been lost in the
wreck.
Efforts to discover the cause of
the accident were begun long be
fore the work of rescue were
over.
W. C. Steele, secretary and
treasurer of the St. Joseph-Chica
go Steamoship company which
owned the steamer Eastland
•vilt on Lake En© 1903, and
re-modeled
later because it was
top-heavy, it is said, was arrested
tonight and locked up at a po"
lice station. The steamer was
leased by the Indiana Transporta
tion company, whose officers said
they were net responsible for the
licensing of the shop and did not
control the crew.
Under the glare of searchlights
•onight scores of men worked in
the hull of the vessel to remove
the bodies. The steamer lay on
the bottom of the river, on side
protruding like a monument to
the hundreds it had drowned as
it turned over. The cause of its
capsizing has not been _determin
ed tonight, but federal, city and
state officers were conducting in
vestigations to determine whether
the ship was top heavy from
faulty designing, was improperly
ballasted, or was poorly handlec
in wharfing from the wharf. Ma*
rine architects asserted that the
Eastland was faulty in design.
That the top deck had been re
moved because of the tendency
of the ship to list, and also point
ed to the possibility that the ship
had been unevenly or improperly
ballasted. The Eastland usee
water ballast and investigators
are working on a theory that the
balast tanks were not well filled.
That the rushing of passengers to
one side of the deck caused it to
roll over.
New York, July 24.—The
Bayonne oil strikers were notified
tonight by the officials of the
Standard Oil company of New
Jersey that the company would
not accede to the modified de
mands of the strikers. The strik
ers immediately called a mass
meeting and decided not to re
turn to work Monday, as had
been hoped by those seeking a
settlement of the strike.
Dickinson. July 27.—Passen
gers arriving over the Northern
Pacific railway Friday night were
excited over a hailstorm near
New Salem, which lasted twenty
minutes and broke every windo%v
on the north side of three coach
es. The stones penetrated double
windows, pierced curtains and
ripped off the screening on roof
ventilators. Ice the size of tea
cups crashed through windows
while passengers stood huddled
on the opposite side. About fif
teen miles of country between
New Salem and Glen Ullen was
hit. The train was held here an
Vivr while workmen removed the
broken glass.
GOLDEN VALLEY CHRONICLE
OUR PUBLIC FORUM
C. E. Schaff
On Railway Investments
President Wilson, recently referring to our railroad
problems, said in part: "They are indispensable tc
our whole economic lite and railway securities are al
the very heart of most investments, large and small, public
and private, by individuals and by institutions.
There is no other Interest so central to the business wel
fare of the country, aa this. No doubt, in the light of the
new day, with its new understandings, the problem of the
railroads will also be met and dealt with in a spirit ol
candor and justice."
When the first citizen of the land stresses the import
ance of understanding and dealing justly with the rail
roads, certainly the American plowman can venture upor
a careful study of the problem. C. E. Schaff, president of the M. K. & T.
railway company, when asked to outline the relation of the public to rail
roads investments, said in part:
"It may be said that the railroad world is encumbered with a lot ol
phantoms which exist only in the popular fancy. For instance, because
there have been a few so-called 'railroad magnates' whose names have figured
prominently in finance, many people have come to believe that the railroads
of the country are largely owned by a few rich men. As a matter of fact
nothing could be farther from the truth. Out of the colossal sum of twenty
billion dollars of American railroad securities, less than five per cent is now,
cf ever has been, in the hands of these men who have figured prominently in
the newspaper headlines—while the other 95 per cent is in the hands of ever
two million investors, large and small, who in many instances have put the
modest savings of a lifetime into these securities in order that they might
lay away a competency for old age. When, therefore, the value of these
securities is depressed or perchance dest*cyed, the hardship is a hundred
fold greater upon thousands of every-day citizens, than upon the handful of
millionaires, good cr bad, who have figured prominently in railroad circles.
Hundreds of millions of dollars of the assets of our great life and fire
insurance companies, savings banks, trust companies, educational and fiduciary
Institutions are invested in railroad bonds—and the moment, therefore, that
the soundness of these bonds is called into question the financial solidity of
these myriad institutions—directly affecting the welfare cf millions of policy
holders and bank depositors—is gravely menaced. During the last several
years, many millions of dollars representing depreciated values, have been
charged off the books of concerns like these enumerated above. American
railroads have become a vital part of the very woof and fabric of the nation.
Their continued efficiency is Absolutely essential to the smallest community
in the land.
In blindly striking at the railroads our blows fall not merely upon thou
sands who have committed no wrong, but. In the last analysis, upon ourselves.
We should remember how interdependent we have come to be in this mighty
republic cf ours—that each is in truth become more and more his brother's
keeper, and that we need to act and think circumspectly, lest in our mistaken
fcal we destroy those who. like ourselves, need whatever of this world's
goedg the toii and sweat of years has bequeathed to them."
