SAII UI1AV Nnl (Joodivlii In "Tho Mnxter Hand" Who's tiullty? LONDON, .May 11. Lord Clauri carde Is dead. Lord Claurlcarde! The man the Hritlsh people called "the meanest man in Kngland". What the London papers . did to his memory, even before he was ' buried, was sufficient. "The moan- est man In England!" For half a century he held that distinction. To day, In glaring columns, amidst tho war news, the Loudon papers told the story of Lord Clanrlcarde's life. It is a story particularly for Irish folks in America. It was men like 'Clanrlcardo who drove the Irish to America. Ho was the meanest Irish landlord. ciajiricaruo s grandfather was Ctnning, British, prime minister in 1827. His uncle was the first vice roy of India. When he was yo'ung Clanrlcardo got the idea that God made a few very. rich, fine and cul tured people to be human beings that everybody who wasn't rich, fine and cultured wasn't human. Human rights, as he knew them, wore the rights of the rich. Canadian soldiers in Hydo park, not knowing their London, have looked with wonder and pity on a little weazened up old man, In rag ged, fifty-year-old clothes who used to sit on the public seats the pri vate seats cost two cents a hard, cold look in his eyes. This was Lord Clanrlcardo, owner of twe.ity square miles of land In Ireland, with Irish peasants paying him $100,000 a year. This was Lord Clanrlcarde, once thu swollcm, fop in London, victim of the idoa that Cod made III in to ie a specially fine h'uinnn being, with spo cial rights. In 1S74 he fell heir to tho castle at Portumna, one of the finest houses In Ireland, and the estate of CO. 000 acres. Ho thought ho had faUen heir to the lives and souls of his tenants too. Ho paid one visit to the estate in 1871. Ho never ro utined. His tenunts had demanded certain improvements and rights. He sent agents. More than ono of them was killed, There Isn't an acre of the land that hasn't Its tragedy. Homes wero bruken up by poverty becauso of Lord Clanrlcarde's high rents. He demanded a largo sharoj of everything tho tenunts grew; he would not spend money for improv ing their pitiful homes. Blood was shed time and again, while he was in London, pottering around with an tii lies. Irish lnndlords changed and be came human: Lord Clanrlcarde, never.' Tho government refused him police aid in evicting tenants; he hired agents to do the evicting. Decent people began to leavo him nlone. Of all the money be took I In from his tenants he is never known to h:.ve spent a cent for im provements. He stood pat on the idea that Tinman rights were the rights of the rich. The splendid castle fell into ruins. ; Oilier lrlhli landlords began to :n 11 their land lo the government, to lie distributed among the Irish peas i ants. Clanrlcarde would not sell. I A special bill was Introduced Into ! tlie house of buds, expropriating his j estates. Though he was u lord and I was rut it led to sit In the house of j , lords and help In the government of' ills country, Lord Clanricardo ui ve appeared until the chances of losin his land arose. Ono day a sh.liby. bcnl.'hnrd faced little old nmn appeared at tie door of the house of lords, but when he attempted to enter the policeman i stopleii him. It was Lord Clanri-i carde, lie portested In a piping voice. Ilej talked of property rights, l'ropertv' had its duties as well as its rights, said someone. Then he walked out of the place. He became a solitary miser. He spent money for antiquities only. Ills cheap rooms wero filled with rare articles, littered about carelessly No fire burned In his grate.

Today the Lord Clanrlcarde estate is being divided (for sale to small holders. Lord Clanrlcarde was paid a mill ion and a half dollars by the gov ernment and the day after his death, while he rested In his rich mahog ony casket, he got a million and 3 half dollars worth of the bitterest advertisement that was ever given a human being. THREE ONLY SAVED FROM ROANOKE PORT SAN LUIS, Calif., May 11. While patrols watched the beach and breakers for the bodios of the 47 who are believed to be dead from the Roanoke disaster, wireless from the steamer Lansing was re ceived which said she had gone over tho scene of horror, and found no trace of any survivors. Rumors thnt another lifeboat had been found con taining a single corpse are found to be unsubstantiated, and is discredit ed. As far as known, tho only ones who escaped death are Joseph Elb the quartermaster of the ship, and two .Mexicans who drifted ashore with five dead bodies in a life boat last night. The Mexicans were un able to talk. Elb said today that two life boats were swamped In leaving the sinking ship, and two others are still unaccounted for. Manuel Lopez, one of the rescued Mexicans, recovered sufifciently this afternoon that he could tell the story. He declared that the Roanoke crew .was Inexperienced, and the cargo badly loaded. He said he had protested to tho captain and begged the skipper not to take his wife with him on tho voyage. He asserted that tho Roanoke began to list heavily hours before she finally sank. They attempted to call for help by wire less, but found the radio damaged. Signals thon were Hoisted, but no ships saw them. The life boats caught the davits and capsized, five of them floated hut two were swamped. The one still missing contained only John Dennis, the sec ,ond officer. Quartermaster Elb said he first entered a life boat which .was swamped bocause of bad handling. Ho then swnm to a floating plank and later was picked up. ' U. W.
