IS (fpeciaL Th first body of the 4.1 victims of the dlfafter which occurred within sight of the Feattle waterfront and West Seattle Sunday night, in which the steamer Dtx ! was inn down hy the Alaska steamship Jcanie. sinking Instantly, was recovered hetween TVest Seattle and Alki Point to day. The body was that of Albert Mc Donald, a lumber surveyor, of Port Blakeley. Of the known missing the names of 4" have been vouched for. The Commercial Club of Seattle has passed strong resolutions, addressed to Presi dent Roosevelt, urging that special in structions be given by the Executive to the United States marine officers to con duct a searching inquiry into the disaster and ' order the strict enforcement of every statute, governing the case.'' The reso lutions call for the extreme penalty for violation of rules if the responsibility can be placed. Port Blakeley Is in mourning, the mills are not running and special preparations are on foot to hold memorial service. Long Swim for Life. Two Filipino boys claim to have swam ashore from the wreck to a Seattle dock, a distance of six miles. Manuel Eepeto and Eazzintia Garcia are the names. They claim to be sailors. The story has not yet bepn confirmed. Marine Inspectors "Whitney an Turner decided this, afternoon to hold a rigorous Investigation into the loss of the Dix. Their Inquiry will begin as soon as wit r.'."f can be summoned. The Dii lies in nearly lv fathomg of water and it is doubtful whether she will ever be raised. The owners of the boat have turned her over to the under writers, who expect to make some effort to recover the steamer. Whether they will drag for the boat or try blasting is unsettled, but little hope of success is entertained. Dix Va6 About to Be Sold. Had General Manager Grant, of the feattle Electric Company, returned in time, the Dix would have been sold to that company. XegotJatlona were prac tically completed a week ago, but were held up to await Grant's return. As it is, J. E. Chilberg and A. B. C. Denniston owned the boat. The Port Blakeley Mill Company operated her under a lease. By a curious coincidence, the Hoods Canal steamer Perdita, passed over the scene of the wreck early this morning without knowing of the catastrophe. Chief Engineer Parks, of the Dix. who drowned in that boat, was the builder and part owner of the Perdita. Boats Can Find Xo Bodies. All of the boats sent out to look for bodies have returned and one cork fender pirked up by the tug Tyee is the net refult of their search. The tides off the Feattle docks and from Alki Point met half a mile north of the scene of the disaster and the naturaj trend of the drift is toward Jefferson Head. Two log Jams have broken off Duwamlsh Head and nine-tenths of the logs were picked up at Jefferson Head. With the view that if any bodies ever come ashore they will be found in that vicinity, a patrol has been started from Kingston. All but one of the fliers in the big Port Blakeley mill were drowned In the Dix accident, and the lumber plant will have to be Idle until more help is secured. Almost the entire " force of lumber surveyors was aboard the boat, returning to Port Blakeley, and half of them were drowned. Flags of every nation in the city are hanging: at half-mast in Port Blakeley today, and the entire population of 2000 has temporarily abandoned busi ness pursuits to emphasize its grief over the loss of the Dix. It is likely Fort Ward will observe with military exactitude the loss of its men. COOPER KILLED BY AUTO Xoted Automanlac Meets Sudden Death in Collision. NEW .YORK, Nov. 19. Tom Cooper, of Detroit, well known as a bicycle rider and automobilist, was instantly killed in an automobile accident in Central Park late tonight. Three companions were seri ously injured and one of them, it Is be lieved, will die. The four were riding in Coopers auto mobile when the machine collided with another automobile on the drive. Cooper was hurled 20 feet and struck upon hie head. He was lifeless when picked up. Daniel Barclow, of Paterson, N. J., a cotton broker, was also thrown from the machine and sustained a fracture of the skull. At the hospital tonight it was sajd he would probably die. Miss Virginia Vernon, of Jerwy City, N. J., and Miss Helen Hall, of this city, the other occupants of the automobile. Peabody, ex-Governor of Colorado. suffered severe injuries. All were re moved to Roosevelt Hospital. The occupants of the car with which Cooper's machine collided were arrested. GEORGIA CAYVAN IS DEAD Noted Actress Passes Away in Ke . treat on Long Island.- NEW TOEK, Nov. 13. Miss Georgia Cayvan, for years one of the most popular actresses in this city, died today in a sanitarium at Flushing. I. I , where she had been a patient for several years. Miss Cayvan, who was 45 years of age. was formerly a member of the old Lyceum Stock Company of this city, of which Daniel Frohman was manager. About seven years ago the actress was taken ill and was compelled to leave the stage. A benefit was held and sufficient money was raised to pay her expenses the remainder of her life. During her career on the stage. Miss Cayvan took the prominent parts in the "Charity Ball," "Sweet Lavender," "Americans Abroad." and "Squire Kate." Miss Cayvan was one of the prime movers in the Actors' Fund Fair, which was held about 17 years ago In Madison Square Garden.

RIGHT OF SELF-DEFENSE Mover's Suit Against Peabody and Bell Fails, State Having Same Right as Individual to Self-Preservation. DENVER, Colo., Nov. 19. (Special.) Ended is the latest chapter of the Tellurlde ' war. Charles H. Moyer, president of the Wrestern Federation of Miners, has lost the suit growing out of alleged illegal imprisonment by the state militia under orders from Governor Peabody and General Bell. Judge R. E. Lewis, of the United States District Court, today delivered an im portant decision, in which he sustained a demurrer by the defendants. Gov ernor Peabody. ex-Adjutant-General Sherman M. D. Bell and Bulkely Wells, now Adjutant-General, to the effect that Moyer had no rig-ht to bring suit before the United States Court to re cover $100,000 damages. Power Cnder Martial Law.

Moyer had claimed that his detention In the Telluride bull pen was a violation of the 14th amendment to the constitu tion of the American political system and an infringement of the right of habeas corpus. Starting with the preface that it had been agreed by both parties to the con troversy that the United States Court should consider the proceedings of the Colorado Court In all its phases, a short history of the proceedings is given and -then Judge Lewis says: Stare's Right of Self-Defense. "There is nothing in the Colorado constitution to conflict with the 14th amendment to the United States con stitution. It is obvious that the pro visions above quoted from the consti tution of Colorado (referirng to the power given the executive in time of Insurrection) are but the emanation of a sovereign power founded on neces sity and inherent in every government. It is sometimes likened to that of self-defense. The life of a government is like that of men. The latter has a right to kill, in case of natural de fense; the former has the right to wage war for its own preservation. When the dominion pf the mob becomes so powerful that it cannot be stayed h.y the civic authorities, it has the same right to protect itself. Government Only Can Decide. "There is only one department of the governmental organization that has the right to determine the question whether there is insurrection or not. Governor Peabody had that power. The political departments of the govern ment have "always had that power. 'The courts have never had it and it would be absurd for them to try to exercise it. Should a court say there was in surrection in a community, the insur rectionists could say there was not. and there would be no way for the court to enforce its declaration. That the executive has the power to pass pon this question of fact, and he alone, is the principle advanced during the Rhode Island trouble many years ago by Chief Justice Taney and Justice Treat of the highest court of the United States. I therefore conclude that the existence of insurrection as declared in the Governor's proclama tion is not issuable," rules Judge Lewis.

STEAMER DIX AND MAP SHOWING WHERE THEY COLLIDED ss SWORDS -OVER RAILROADS Harriman and Root Have De bate at Kansas City Banquet. BREAK FROM PROGRAMME Railroad President Wants More Power for Railroads and Less Criticism Statesman Says More Control Is Seeded. KANSAS CTTY, Mo., Nov. 13. The most Interesting feature of the Commer cial Club banquet last night had not been announced beforehand. it being Edward H. Harriman's criticism of Government regulation of railroads and Secretary of State Root's vigorous re ply. Mr. Harrimon in his address said: "I saw In. the papers that President Hill, of the Great Northern, in an ad dress before the commercial bodies of Chicago, said that the country needs 100. 000 miles of railway. I feel sure Mr. Hill was misquoted Two men now here who heard his speech confirm me in that belief. As they understood it and as he probably said, the railroads need sid ings, terminals and double tracks equal to lOO.oon miles of new railway. Give Railroads More Power. "In his speech in Harrisburg recent ly. President Roosevelt said that the executive and legislative departments of the Government should be given ad ditional power to deal with public or ganizations. If we are going to con tinue to prosper, the power which President Roosevelt desires added to the Government. I hope, will be added to the other organizations. I hope that some of it will come our way. It is impossible for a railway company or large organization to carry on its business properly, if the people are constantly criticising. In the Union Pacific Company no one man says what the company will or will not d. I am untiring only because I must be on hand to hear conferences and try to bring a body of men to one conclusion. It is not easy if you always have to turn to the legal departments and find whether you may or not " Here Mr. Harriman paused and turned to Mr Raot. who sat two seats rear ward. "It is often important to a city or a country whether we do certain things, whether we develop a territory," Mr. Harriman continued, "or leave it dor mant. Often we cannot give development a start because of the action of certain people for political prestige. I believe there is to be a change of attitude which soon is to be felt. The people are coming to believe In Americanism and that means fair play." Root Accepts Challenge. Mr. Root, accepted Mr. Harriman's challenge promptly and prefaced his pre pared sipeech by saying: "Before I begin my talk on the subject which has been assigned, I desire to make a few remarks in answer to Mr. Harriman. Mr. Harriman. I believe, in his speech tonight would have us give more power to the railroads. "The experience I gained from a knowl edge of railroad business in the State of Missouri at a time when the railroads were competing for business led me to believe that the Just means of regulating traffic, and railroad affairs is through the railways themselves I believe it is just to say that a wise law would be one that would force the railroads to combine in keeping the law a law that would pre vent the railroads from breaking the law. "I repeat that the best regulation can be brought about by the railroads them selves, if they will only do It. Their power. Mr Harriman. should be supple mented by Governmental control, such that would prevent them from doing wrong. Xeed Control to Protect Weak. "It is doubtless the case that a rail road, by special compensation or special rates can help to build up a bigger and better business. Nevertheless the science of Government always gives a chance. The privilege of the railroads in discrim inating In the matter of special rates and compensations is too often abused, as we have seen. "It is the common tendency of rail roads to give advantage to the wealthy shipper against the weaker or smaller one. It is that tendency so often dis playeda tendency to crush the weak. For this reason I say that it is necessary, it is essential, to freedom and independ ence that the railroads should be held under control to prevent discrimination. The slight advantage that the railroads would gain by more power the power that Mr. Harriman asks for would be so greatly offset by the evil that such a proposition would not be considered a moment. KAISER IS AN OPTIMIST Talks Frankly to Dr. Ganghofer of Views of Life. MUNICH, Nov. 19. Emperor William received Dr. Edward Ludwig Ganghofer, the author, November 12, during His Majesty's visit to Munich and talked with extraordinary freedom regarding his way of looking at life. Dr. Ganghofer. writing to the Muenichener Neuste Nachrichten today, says that the Emperor, referring to the optimtistic vein pervading Dr. Ganghofer's book, "Hoherschein" (High Polish), said: "I am an out-and-out optimist and noth ing will prevent my continuing so to the end of my life." The Emperor described himself as a man fully occupied with his work and who believed In his work, and added: Sherman Bell, ex-AdJiitant-General of Colorado. 'I am determined to make progress, and I would be pleased if others rightly un derstood what I am aiming at and sup ported me." His alajesty referred to the difficult position in which a man got when he was suspicions and he quoted Dr. Gang hofer's "Silence in the Forest," saying: "He who is suspicious not only does in justice to others but. injures himself. It is our duty to regard others as being good until they prove themselves to be the contrary. "According to this principle." said the Emperor. "I have always treated every body with whom I have had to deal. Of course one will have some unpleasant ex perience, but one must not be discouraged. One must always approach life and hu manity with renewed confidence." The Emperor added: "One gets on much further in life if one does not look at everything with a pessimistic eye. and this is equally true in politics. Without doubt, the German people who have a fu ture, and there is one word that annoys me' whenever I hear it reich?n-erdrossen-heit ("translated as 'unwillingness of the people to support the empire ). What is the good of this? Let us rather work and look to the future." The Emperor, mentioning his frequent journeys, said: "When I travel, especi ally when I go into Scandinavian waters. I am freed for a few weeks of all that weighs on me. Yet people often take amiss that which gives me such pleas ure. I know I am called the traveling Emperor," but I have always taken it aa a joke. "I love traveling, especially in my own country. I thini the feeling of homeo geneousness is strengthened thereby and many Germans have no idea how beauti ful our native land is and how much there is to be seen. I am always glad when I become acquainted with a new part of Germany. "I often feel inclined to jump into an automobile and dash off for a couple of days, returning full of energy and con tentment. Such recreations, especially to one In my responsible position, are very indeed, doubly necessary, because I am exposed to many misunderstandings and am always In a. thankless position, as I am conceded no independence. If I suc ceed the whole world asks 'who was his adviser?" and if I fail they say, he dud not understand the matter." "Regarding happenings which people look on as a matter of course, in the case of other Princes, in my case they. ask, 'Why did he do that?' and the only pos sible answer 1b. 'Because l am working for the good of the German empire and the German people." " The Emperor's utterances to Dr. Gang hofer are regarded as a reply to the fre quent criticisms recently of the excessive introduction of the Emperor's personality in the conduct of German affairs.

DIPLOMATS' READY RESPONSE South America Welcomes United States Citizens. OUR PLACE AMONG NATIONS Minister Cortes, of Colombia, Pre dicts SonI of America Will Tri umph Over Pelf in Upholding International J notice. KANSAS CITT. Mo.. Nov. 19. A world-wicj peace, substantial and en during, made possible by closer com mercial and friendly relations amonjt nations, was the keynote of a notable, speech delivered here tonight by Elihu Root. Secretary of State. Following Mr. Root, the diplomatic representa tives of Latin-American republics made, speeches along the same line, offering trade extension between the countries of North and South America as a means of bringing these countries into closer and lasting friendship. The occasion was the twelfth annual banquet given by the Kansas City Commercial Club in commemoration of the signing of th John Jay commercial treaty. FIv hundred plates were laid and many notable persons were present. Besides Mr. Root, th speakers, in the order of their rank, were Ignacio Calderon. Minister of Bolivia; Felipe Pardo, Minister of Peru; Enrlqu Cortes. Minister of Colombia: Sylvino Gurgel do Amaral. first secretary of the Brazilian legation; Alberto Toacham. Charge d'Affaires of the Chilean lega tion; John Barrett, United States Min ister to Colombia; Pr. William Jay Schieffelin. New York, great-grandson of John Jay, who spoke to the toast: "The Value of the Lifft and Example of John Jay;" E. H. Harriman. president of the Union Pacific Railway, who talked informally on trade conditions in general. Mr. Root, who addressed himself to the toast, "Our Relations With South, America." spoke in part as follows; America's Field Widening. Sine John Jay made th tariff treaty which itt commemorated h- th annual din ner of this culb. th United States has passed through a period of comparative iso lation and Indifference in foreign affairs. Now. however, our growth has been ?o great as to bring us again on the wider field of the world's trade and con.srrurt.iv enterprise, into contact with all the great and active nations of mankind. We have entered anew-, whether we will or not, by the necessities of our development, into the field of intimate relations with all the Na tions of the earth. It is a field in whica the guiding principle laid down by Washing ton, of friendship for all with entangllnj alliances with none, is as wife a rul of conduct a it wis in Washington's time, it is as true now as it was then that. Europe has certain primary interests in whica we are not concerned and into which we should not permit ourselves to be drawn; yet It is a. field in which w-e care no longer to be in different or to be ignorant. In this time of vast immigration, of in ternational Investment and ownership, of opportunities for enterprise ani of enlarged peaceful intercourse and. abov all. of steadily progressing popular government, a new diplomacy has found pla-ce. It. Is a representative diplomacy, ajid answers not to the Judgments of courts or sovereigns, but to the Judgment of great popular masses. It grows continually more t rue that the sentiments, feelings and opinions of the people determine policies; decide upon the issues of peace and war, and establish, those sympathies between nations wbl-.h, are more powerful than written and signed treaties of alliance A new responsibility rests upon the people whose representatives answer to their will In thaplng their treat ment of foreign nations. Right Principles in Democracy. Nations have fouls and consciences an truly as individual citizens The life of the Just and faithful and kindly man who is respected and beloved by his neighbor is the type of what every cit Uen should wish his own country to he in its relations to all other countries. To b narrow and hard, selfish and grasping, to be arrogant toward the weak and timid in maintaining the right against the strong, to be unwilling to give kindly consideration to the rights and interests and feelings of others, to be without sympathy or helpfulness for the rest of mankind all these thfngs make an individual despised and hated in the com munity. We s should take the same pains to help our Vountrv avoid them that we would take to avoid them ourselves. The greater part of the controversies and wars between Nations arise from the tendency of the people of each Nation to assume that upon every question which arises all the right is upon their own side and to Insist upon having their own way without that deliberate and kindly consideration of the rights and interests of the other side of the question which a Just man would giv to his neighbor. Justice as Security for Peace. America, has given to the world an ex ample of a democracy made up of indi viduals capable of that self-control and self-restraint which, enables the defeated contestants in a most excited political con troversy to acrept peacefully the Judgment of the majority and leadR the entire com munity, however deep may be its feelings, to bow with respect, to Judicial Judgments The same spirit reinforced by the sentiment for humanity and the desire to help on the progress of civilization, the rule of peare and justice throughout, the world, may ex ert a powerful Influence not only upon our own affairs with other Nations, but. up-n the international intercourse of mankind. Mediation and arbitration are useful meth ods of solving international controversies without recourse to war. but the true pre ventive of war is th willingness of the people of the world to be Just towards one another; the strong desire of the people of the earth to be kind toward one another; the application f the same rules by all men to tneir collective treatment of other Nations which gf-od citizens appU- to then individual treatment of each other. The true and final antidote for war Is the love (Concluded on Page 2.) BINDING AMERICA
