out of a crew of eighteen of a Nor
wegian steamer are aboard Winter
Quarter lightship, the remaining
twelve men having perished, accord
ing to a report made by Captain Del
ano of the steamer Poito Rico, which
arrived here from New York. The
vessel fouAderod nine miles northeast
of the lightship.
Captain Delano stated that an the
Porto Rico was passing Winter Quivr
ter light a signal was seen flying from
the lightship. A heavy northeast wind
prevailed. He ordered his ship to run
close to the light station and when as
near as consistent with safety an at
tempt was made to communicate by
megaphones.
It was difficult work with the wind
whistling about the superstructure of
the ships, but enough was learned to
realize that a ship had foundered.
The captain of the lightship said that
there were aboard his vessel six sur
•Ivors from the ill fated ship and
asked that they be taken off If ponsi
ble. Captain Delano considered th"
matter carefully and decided that it
would be tempting death again to try
to make the transfer
under
weather conditions prevailing.

Chicago Priest Also Ccndamna Tight
Fitting Gowns.
Chicago, Sept. 28.—Suffragettes, suf
fragists and other varieties of women
aspiring to activity outside the home
were dealt with in terms of withering
scorn by Rev. Father Michael in an
address at the Illinois theater. Women
were declared to be by nature abso
lutely unfitted for the right of suf
frage.
Father Miciiael drew a sad picture
of the suffragist's neglected husband,
who remains at home caring for the
lap dox. which takes the place of chil
dren in hi« wile's affections, while
wife is out "complaining. lecturing
and voting."
The revt-n-ml fattier tuined his at
tention to fashions in dress and as
serted that tight tilting gowns are de
serving of rebuke because of their
womanly appearance.

TAFT PAYS VISIT
TO COPPER MINE
Descends Into Underground
Workings at Butte.
SEES ANACONDA SMELTERS
President Much Impressed With tha
Extent of the Mining Industry tn
the Two Montana Cities—Tendon
Sprained Before Leaving Beverly
Causes Executive ta Wal« With a
Decided Limp.
Butte, Mont., Sept 28.—When Pres
ident Taft arrived In Butte lie found
city eager to welcome him. the
streets gay with bunting and nothing
in sight to mar his reception. He was
welcomed at the depot by a big recep
tion committee. Automobiles took
him and his party over the line of
parade mapped out several days ago
and after a speech by him on North
Montana street opposite the court
house he was whisked away to his(
train and started on the Journey to
Helena, where he was welcomed by
thousands of people at the state fair
grounds.
When the parade here, headed by
the president, reached the speakers'
stand former Senator Lee Mantle in
troduced the president to Mayor
Nevis, who, in turn, presented Mr.
Taft to the throng. As in other cities
the school children formed a feature
of the greeting to the president. The
children all carried flags and saluted
the chief executive as he passed in
his motor.
Strike Causes Change In Plans.
Trouble between the Western Fed
eration of Miners and the organiza
tion ot the engineers in the mines
caused a change in the original pro
gramme. It had been planned for Mr.
Taft to spend some time in the mlne^
and smelters here, but when labor
troubles became acute last week the
committee changed the arrangement
so that a part of the time was spent
at Anaconda, where the smelters were
visited and examined. The president
took a lively interest in all he saw and
seemed to be much impressed with
the extent of the Industry at Anar
conda and Butte.
The labor trouble, which was caused
by the engineers withdrawing from
the federation and forming an Inde
pendent organization, gave the police
officers some apprehension and extra
precautions were taken to safeguard
the president. Both the sheriff and
the chief of police added many men
to their regular forcea.
Taft Walks With a Limp.
The president had a decided limp
in his walk when he alighted from his
special train here. He sprained a
tendon in his foot before leaving Bev
erly, but had suffered no bother until
Sunday, when, after ten days of con
stant going with little or no rest, the
foot became swollen. Dr. Richardson,
who accompanies the president, is
treating the strained tendon. The
hurt is not serious, but is causing dis
comfort.
The president was met at the sta
tion by a band and a long line of auto
mobiles. After speaking In the court
house square he was taken to the
famous old Leonard copper mine and,
entering a cage with John Hays Ham
mend, was taken down a damp and
darksome shaft to the 1,200-foot level,
wtiere he saw the miners at work in
the midst of drills and all the other
paraphernalia of deep underground
labor.
BUTTE DISPUTE ADJUSTED
Trouble Affecting Most of Her Mines
Is Settled.
Butte, Mont., Sept. 28.—The labor
trouble which threatened to tie up
this camp, shut down the smelters in
Anaconda and Great Falls and throw
11!,000 people out of work throughout
the state has been settled.
While no official statement of the
agreement has been given out it is
known that the contentions ot the
Miners' union were sustained and the
seceding engineers who withdrew
from tha Western Federation of Min
ers have gone back into the fold. All
will be received and given their old
positions.
