Lubber Joins Wavy
Rene Streatcn, chief of the outer guard
and past assistant surgeon, stationed In
the naval recruiting station In tlie federal
building, was frightened out of a year's
growth yesterday afternoon when E.Mei
Ualn of Lexlncton appeared before him
and asked If the nuvy "needed any bal
last." Strcaten took one look at the appli
cant's 223 pounds of beef and decided that
!f lie was shipped, the navy would most
assuredly havo some very Rood material
to keep the --ship on even keel.
Ualn, although the largest man ever
"shipped" by the local recruiting station.
Is only years of nse, but he Is over
sis feet .all. and fairly well proportioned.
He was taken on as apprentice seaman
and will bo sent to the training ship oft
San Frnr.clFCo somo time today.
"I got tired of living in Lexington with
"nothing to do till tomorrow," so I
thought I would like a whirl at the rolling
deep," boomed Bain from tho depths of a
very solid-looking chest. Thnt he passed
the examination goes Without saying, and
It was only when one of the office "salts"
tried to scare the new recruit by telling
him of tho sailor 'horse-play did Bain
show any nervousness. Then he calmly
rolled up his sleeve and exhibited a knotty
bunch of muscles that looked like an
anchor chain, and nonchalantly asked If
they "had eny fighters In the navy."
Bain says ho was some wrestler In Lex
ington, and If he can find some one any
where near his weight on board ship, he
will see that the boat he la assigned to
does not have any dull moments.

NEW YORK, Nov. 28. A tremendous
sea, which hammered the bow and swept
the decks of the Fabre line steamship
Santa Anna caused the death of four
seamen and the rserlous Injury of three
others. News of the disaster was brought'
to port when the liner arrived today from
Marseilles and Naples.
The ship's passage as a whole was
stormy and unpleasant, but It was not
until November 23 that the heaviest sea
was encountered. Described by Captain
Pavey as the "Most terrific he ever en
countered," a great mass of water rose
like a wall before the vessel, then fell
With Brushing force on the decks and,
sweeping over every part of the ship,
carried seamen Durand, , Sartl. Callsti
and Quarelll overboard like corks. Three
others were stretched out unconscious on
the decks. The Impact of the wall of
water had nearly stopped the ship. En
gines were reversed quickly. Life buoyi
were thrown out promptly and, as the
vessel neared ' the spot where the four
seamen had been swept Into the sea they
were seen floating on the buoys. The sea
was q violent, however, tha three of
them soon ' relinquished their hold arid
sank. ' Quarettr wuceeeded 'In "grasping 'V
life line and was hauled aboard.
When attention was directed to the In
jured It was found that two seamen
Folxs, and Roumlen and Faxettl, tho
ship's boy, had been badly hurt. Folxa's
spine was broken and he died two davs
later. The others were operated on and
probably will recover. .

night clerk of the Great Northern hotel,
early today declined to throw up Ills
hands and turn the contents cf the safe

There Is no George Yant In Omaha,
However, there is Maurice Yant, an elec
trician residing here. He has a brother
George and the last that he heard from
him he was In Fort Wayne, Iod., where
he was employed as an ironworker. He Is
doubtful about his brother ever having

BANKER ATTACKS ROOSEVELT
Wharton Barker Asserts Colonel

HE ASSAILS "MONEY TRUST"

. hr Blensag of Former
President.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 28. Wharton
Barker, a retired banker of Philadelphia,
sprung a sensation on the senate com
mluee on Intel state commerce today
when he alleged that a New York finan
cier told him, In 1D04, that the financial
interests would support Theodore Roose
velt for president "because the latter had
made a bargain" with them "on the rail
road question."
Mr. Barker' statement came In the
midst of a vigorous attack on the "money
trust," in which he alleged also that
President Roosevelt had been given the
details of the jmpendlng panic of 1U07
several months before It happened, but
took no faction to prevent It. He ( de
clared that the Aldiich currency plan
was the handiwork, not of former Sena
tor .Aldrlch, but of a Mr. Warburton of
the banking firm of Kuhn, Loeb & Co.
of New York and that a fund of ,1,000,000
had been started to insure It adoption.
"Three or four week before the elec
tion In 1!04," Mr. Baker said, "1 was
walking down Broadway when I met one
of the most distinguished money kings
In New York, a man now dead." He said
to me. 'We are going to elect ' Roose
velt.' I expressed surprise and asked if
he had given up the support, of Parker.
He said yes; that they had frightened
Roosevelt so that he had made a bargain
with them."
Members of the committee looked some
what incredulous and Mr. Barker added:
"I wish Mr. Roosevelt were here."
"I wish he were," Senator Townsend
said; "It would be Interesting."
Tell of Aliened llartialu.
Mr. Barker said the financial giant,
whom he declined to name, told hlin
that "Roosevelt had made a bargain on
the railroad question. " Mr. Barker con
tinued: " 'He 1 to holler all he want to,' lie
told, me, 'but by and by a railroad bill
will be brought in by recommendation of
the president cutting off rebate and free
passe, which suits uh who own the rail
roads, permitting th railroads to make
pooling arrangements and providing for
maximum rates.' " ,
The railroad man added, Mr. Barker
wild, that under the latter authority It
would be impossible to add from (300,-
OuO.000 to H'fO.OOM.OOO to the total freight
charges paid by tho American public.
"I told him t didn't believe Roosevelt
had made any such agreement," Mr.
Baiker said, "but when the annual mes
sage of l!iu went to congress he recom
mended must of those things. I wrote to
President RooKcvell and told him what
I heard and that I had thought the man
lltd, but now I must believe he had not.
It was the only letter of mine Mr, Roore
velt ever failed to answer."
Members of the committee asked Mr.
Barker to give the name of the financial
man who had told him that Roosevelt
was to be elected.

"I cannot do It," Mr. Barker said, "but
subsequently somebody was alleged to
have stolen some correspondence between
