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.

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.

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. Favors New York Plan.

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.

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- tor Gore before the congressional com- mittee at 1\Iuskogee , Okla. , that Sher- man was the man "higher up" in the so-called McMurray Indian contracts bribery matter. - FIND WHOLE FAMILY SLAIN Rancher , Wife and Son Murdered for Sus- Revenge--Japanese Boy - pected as Slayer.

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.

" They reaffirm their loyalty to thE ) platform of 1908 but do not recognize the revision of 1909 as a satisfactory' ' fulfillment of the party promise and therefore fa.vor the creation of an in commit- dependent non-partisan tariff tee to secure facts regarding imports and urge revision of schedules separ- ately. They commend Senators Dol- llyer and Cummins for "their work upon the tariff bfll , th'e railroad bill and the postal savIngs bilI. " They 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 devices of modern industry. They favor the fixing of a physical valua- tion on railroads in order to secure effective control of rates and a com- plete system of accounting. They favor amendments to the postal sav- hgs law to keep the money deposited with the government within the com- munities where deposited. They favor conservation of natural resources. They indorse the primary law. They promise there would be no backward steps along prohibition lines in IOV , . They demand election of United States senators by direct vote of the . . . . people. They insist on a readjustment of the representation of Republlcans in national convention. They favor an income tax , and favor co-operatlon of the national government in enlarging the usefulness of the system of pubUc education.

Roosevelt's name was cheered. Cummins ignored Lacey's cry , but it was some time before he could resume. Senator Cummins was very emphat- r 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 fast on the central bank idea , and said fi that wealth was demanding too much toU already. Senator Cummins was cheered re . peatedly by the progressives , the 5tal. . j silent warts generally remaining un less to interrupt him. He refe.7A ' - to "hopeless and retreating reaction- aries. " and declared that the Repub- lican party must speedily become all progressive , or all stand patters. He declared it would be easier to make J the Republican party all progressive than secure proper legislation from a. Democratic administration. He rverred that Payne Aldrich , Dalzell and other so-called regulars are no more in favor of the principle of pro- tection than are the progressives. \Vhen the Insurgents presented the name of Jonathan P. Dollh-er for permanent chairman , the stalwarts of- fered opposition in J. C. Mabry ot Albia. Do1Uver was named by a vote of E 834 to 549.
