left Skagway , Alaska , Thursday night
with 80 assengers and a crew of 68 ,
struck the north reef of Sentinel islet
at 2 o'clock Friday morning in the

All passengers and their baggage were : I
taken to the light house on the islet , :
whence they were brought to Juneau' '

Brief messages received from Ju.
neau , Skagway and Cordova say that
there was no panic when the Princess
May struck the reef north of islet , but
the women and children suffered much
from cold in the small boats , the ma-
jority having left the sinking ship
scantily clad. Capt. McLeod and his
officers took the situation coolly and
managed to get all the passengers and
crew from the sinldng steamer before
she 'foundered. ' The boats hugged the
shore until daylight when landings
were made.
All the mail , including gold from the

Census Bureau Officials Predict Big
Growth for the Unitc'd
States.
\
\Vashington , D. C.-It will be about
the middle of October before tile peo-
ple of the United States learn their
true number as expressed by the offi-
cial count of the thirteenth census. It
is generally believed that the number
will be about 90,000,000 , and the cen- :
sus officials are known to share in this
belief.
About 300 of the more than 1,800 (
clerks in the census office are com-
piling population figures only while
the others ate working on other stati
tics. Contrary to the general opinion ; ,
all the counting of the. people is done
by hand , tabulating machines being
'used only in classification as to race ,
sex and other conditions.
Enumeration figures will continue
to be given out day by day for the
. next two months or more while the so-
ciological and -industrial figures wiI )
cO.ne later.

make recommendations to the board

mittee faced the necessity of providing
some method for the settlement of the
deposits so that it would avoid delay
incident to the transmission of al ]
such matters to this city. The idea
of : having central state clearing houseE
was discussed at length and has been
adopted as the best solution of thf
problem.

Dklahoma Senator Says He \Vas Told

,
$3,000,000 Lawyer's Contracts.
Muskogee , Okla.-United States
Senator Gore , who made the sensation-
al statement in the senate June 24
that he had been offered a bribe of
$25.000 by a "man from my own
lown" reiterated his statement here
before the senate select committee ,
and named the man as Jacob Ham-
mon , former chairman of the Repub.
lican state central committee of Okla-
homa.
Senator Gore also declared that
fIammon told him Vice-President Sher-
man , Senator CharIest Curtis of Kan-
sas and Representative Bird l\IcGuire
of Oklahoma were interested in the
deal. Sherman was named as the
"man higher up. "
The committee began its investlga-
.tions here Thursday with the hearing
of Senator Gore. Inquiry is to be
made into what are known as the Mc-

Murray contracts with the Choctaw
and Chickasaw Indians , involving the
sale of tribal property that contained
rIch mineral deposits. Senator Gore
told the committee that when he
frowned on the bribery offer , Hammon
said the amount might be raised to
50OOO. t .
"Hammon also told me that Sena-
tor Charles Curtis of Kansas and Con-
gressman B. S. McGuire of Ok1ahoma
were interested in the McMurray con-
tracts , " testified Senator Gore. "And
while I am about it I might as well ;
tell that he said an official higher up
in the government was also interested
in the dea1. "
Vice-President Sherman then was
named by Senator Gore as the man
"higher up" quoted in connection with
the McMurray contracts.
"When he named persons higher
up , " continued Senator Gore , "I held
up my hands in astonishment and
said , 'Is it possible that a person so
high in the United States government
could lay himself open to such an im-
putation ? '
. .
" 'Well , ' replied Hammon , 'this is I
lots of money , you see. ' "
What iR considered the most valu-
able testimony to Gore , was that of
Congressman Creagor of the Third /
Oklahoma district. Creagor said he
had been approached on various oc .
casions and urged to support the Mc-
i\Iurray contracts.
Senator Curtis wired the commit
tee that the use of his name in con-
nection with the investigation was un-
authorized and he wanted to give tes-
timony. He was wired by Chairman
Burke to come to Muskogee.
Utica , N. Y.-Vice-President James ;
S. Sherman nailed as false the implied
charge made by United States Sena-

man was the man "higher up" in the
so-called McMurray Indian contracts
bribery matter.

hope to obtain the Itey to a gruesome
triple murder enacted on a lonely
ranch near here , the elements of
which parallel in certain respects the
tragedies of the Gunness farm inIn-

vestigating the mysterious disap
pearance of a family of three , discov-
ered the charred home of Enoch Ken-
daH , Mrs. Ura Kendall , his wife , and
Thomas A. Kendall , their son , in the
yard of their canyon home on the Star-

GRAND TRUNK STRIKE ENDED
TERMINATION OF TRAINMEN'S :
WALKOUT IS ANNOUNCED.
Government Intervention Brings
Peace and All Strikers Except
Those Guilty of Disorderly
Conduct May Resume.
Ottawa , Ont.-McKenzie King , Can
ada's minister of labor Tuesday sent
t.ac following telegram to Sir Wilfrid
Laurier at Weyburn , Saskatchewan :
"Am delighted to be able to inform
you that the strike of conductors and
trainmen on the Grand Trunk railway :
system has been brought to an end
through government intervention. "
It means of course , that the big
trainmen strike is settled. The men
'are to return to work as soon as pos-
sible.
All strikers except those guilty of
'disorderly conduct will be reinstated
as soon as possible. The increases as
offered o ! ; July 18 become effective and
date back to May 1.
On January 1 , 1912 , the standard
: -rates of pay as on the Canadian Pacific
'railway will go into effect.
Columbus , O.-Governor Harmon is
considering withdrawing about half of :
the National Guard now here on riot
duty and cutting down the expenses
of maintaining the soldiers from $12-
000 a day to about $5,000.
In that event half of the street cars
will be taken off and all lines aban-
doned temporarily , with the exception
of the \Vest Broad street , Long street
and High street.
SLUMP IN THE AUTO BUSINESS
Bottom Seems to Have Dropped Out
Notwithstanding Boosting Efforts-
of Manufacturers.
New York.-Indications point to the
bottom having faBen out of the auto-
mobile business. The manufacturers ,
it is reported in trade circles , are
making strenuous efforts to keep up
a show of continued prosperity but
it is also said that they are not sell-
ing their product , but are storing ma-
chines throughout the country at their
various agencies to prevent the pub-
lic realizing the true conditions of
the market.
Several large concerns are laying
off men and giving all sorts of rea-
sons for so doing except the state-
ment that they are overstocked. Two
or three of the largest factories re-
cently closed entirely , ostensibly for
the purpose of taking inventory but
the workmen were not giyen any def-
inite time at which to again report for
work , and it is not expected that
these factories will again be in oper-
ation this year.
A well-known automobile agent of
this city said yesterday that all cars
would undoubtedly be seIling at from
25 per cent. to 50 per cent. less than
presentt list prices within the next
two or three months. He added :
"The trouble with the automobile
business is that the farmers and peo-
ple of the smaller cities and towns
) have not taken as kindly to the idea
as was anticipated. The farmers fiRd
that the cost of keeping them in re-
pair and operation is more than the
cost of keeping horses to perform the
same work , and while there' was , for
a time , a tendency among the farmers
to invest in the machines , the demand
for cars from this class of buyers has
practicaBy stopped , and I venture to
say we will not again sell to the farm-
ers to any extent until prices are ma-
terially reduced. "

commend the action of the house in
revising the rules. They indorse the
anti-trust law and recommend it be
given additional strength to meet the

favor the fixing of a physical valua-
tion on railroads in order to secure
effective control of rates and a com-

favor amendments to the postal sav-

which he was joined by his fellow

cry , but it was some time before he
could resume.
Senator Cummins was very emphat-

ic in his declaration that the tariff
bill as it stood needed considerable
revision to make it right. He also
warned the country against going too

that wealth was demanding too much

declared it would be easier to make

the Republican party all progressive
than secure proper legislation from
