S
New York Voted $50,000,000
and Then Forgot All
About It.
WASTE SHOCKS TAMMANY
Why "Was "Sot Money Tut to Good
Use? Says Leader There Ar6
Any Number of Good
Ways to Apply It.
NEW YORK, Jan. 22. (Special.) If you
stopped the average New Yorker on the
street and told him the state had voted
to expend $50,000,000 on good roads, and
that he had voted for It or against it
last election, he would probably tell you
you were crazy. But it Is a fact, never
theless! And it shows what a rich state
this is, and how little the average man
worries about a trifling $50,000,000.
Iast November every voter, in addition
to the official ballots, was given an
amendment ticket, containing a list of
nine amendments to the constitution
upon which he was requested to vote
"yes" or "no." Every one of these sub
jects, as the law required, had previously
been passed by two successive Legisla
tures, and then submitted for a vote of
the people.
But do you think anybody knew any
thing about it? Of course noL, They
were too busy making money and enjoy
ing themselves. True, the laboring peo
ple of the state knew that one umond
ment affected their Interests, and shouted.
"Vote for amendment 'No. 7," and every
body did. They also voted for the other
amendments. What they arc is a mys
tery ycu But later on of course we will
hear from them.
Here Is the first news that anybody
here got on the subject, and strange to
say, no metropolitan paper printed more
than a few lines about It:
How to Divide the Biff Pic.t
"The executive committee of the Super
visors' Annual Highway Convention,
which met at Albany on Tuesday last to
lay out and recommend the legislation
necessary to advance the interest of the
highway improvement of the state, has
prepared its report. Tills executive com
mittee Is composed of two delegates from
each Judicial district of the state. Thero
were present W. Pierrepont White, chair
man, Utica; Dr. Edward J. Bedell. Al
bany; S. S. Salisbury, Auburn; Charles
T. Chamberlain, Elmlra; Albert It. Shat
tuck, New York; F. B. Parker, Batavla;
Arthur Warren. Rochester; Robert E.
Gilman, Syracuse: Ira P. Cribb, Canan
dalgua; John Glck, Saratoga. The report
says:
The proposition that brouKht up the Rreat
cBt discussion was the equitable distribution
of .the $50,000,000 which has Just been voted
by the people of -the State of New York to be
spent on the Improvement of the highways.
The most equitable distribution and tho one
recommended by the committee Is that there
should first be deducted from the $."0,000,000
the sum of $2.ri00.00O to be used from time
to time to build connecting links between
one county system and another. Then the
committje recommended that the $-17,500,000
should be apportioned to the counties by di
viding that cum Into halves and apportion
ing $23,700,000 among, the counties on the
basis of their respective mileage and then
apportioning the other $23,700,000 among the
counties on the basis of their respective
assessed valuation, after excluding the
assessed -valuation -of all Incorporated cities
and villages,,, because under the present
statute they are not permitted to share In
the highway improvement- 'These two sums
are then added, together and the amount Is
the recommended equitable apportionment to
each county.
The executive committee desires to have
apportioned to each county its equitable sum
in money in order that each county may be
permitted .to. build the class of roads best
suited to Its needs. Some counties prerer
expensive roads, other counties cheap roads.
This question Is a local one and should be
settled iQcaJly, . TJie committee felt that the
question of equitable distribution was of such
Importance that it should have the fullest
publicity .throughout tho state. In order that
any inequalities should be heard of and ad
justed before" the" " final' distribution of the
funds was. made by the-Legislature, and it
will therefore print and send Its figures
and table's out as soon as they can be
prepared. . . .
The report ambles on at great length,
but does not say a great deal, except to
emphasize "the fact that there is $50,000,
000 to be given away.
Tampiany Leader Shocked.
I spoke to a Tammany district leader
on the subject today. He was shocked,
absolutely shocked.
"Do you mean to toll me," he gasped,
""that they are really going to throw
away $30,000,000 on roads?. Why. ifs ab
surd! My. district Is full of, men," he con
tinued, '"who haven't seen 50 cents In
months. Why don't they do something
sensible with all that money?"
Then he asked who was on the commit
tee from New lork. I told him about
Albert R..Shattuck, and, although he ad
mitted he had never seen or heard of Mr
Shattuck in his life, he started to round
-up that gentleman in a vain hope that
some of the enormous pile might be dl
verted to "good uses."
I spoke to persons whom I met dur
ing the day on this subject, and only one
of thenf had the faintest glimmering idea
of what was being done.
This wag Harry El wood MacNichol, s
former officer; of the United States-Navy.
He lives in Rye, N. Y.
"Oh, yes, I've hcara about it," he said.
"But 1 thought it was only $25,000,000.
There was a paragraph about it-ln .our
local papor last week."

MAY AGREE ABOUT FACTS
Packers and Government Try to Dis
pense "With Jury.
CHICAGO. Jan. 2. United Stales Dis
trict Attorney Morrison concluded his
statement in the packers" case today. He
confined himself largely to points of law.
and the constant quarreling that occurred
yesterday between the lawyers was not
in evidence.
The substance of Mr. Morrison's state
ment was that the packers were not
entitled to Immunity because they did not
claim it at the time Commissioner Gar-
Mrt. Adelaide Uoyd Smith.
Mrs. Adelaide Lloyd Smith, who
caused the police of many cities much '
anxiety through her fraudulent oil
stock- deals nearly three years ago.
Is again In the San Francisco City
Jail. She was arrested on the com
plaint of Mr. Virginia Mellon, a San
I'ranclwjft restaurant - Iceeper. who
charge Mrs. Smith with defrauding
her out of $2410 on a promissory
note. Mrs. Smith pleads innocence,
and says she was on the verge of
completing a $100,000 real estate deal
when arreutod. Three years ago she
came into public notice becaum of
her arrest on charges of swindling
Oregon and Washington people by
selling them stock In the Gray Gan

which turned out to be worthless.
She was finally acquitted In Seattle

field was conducting his Investigation
into tho beef-packing Industry. He also
contended that because the packers were
not sworn at the time of giving evidence
to Mr. Garfield, they arc not entitled to
Immunity. The fact that a man talked
to the Commissioner of Corporations, he
declared, does not under the Irws consti
tute any claim to immunity from proso-
cution. Mr. Morrison concluded his
statement to the Jury within a short time
after the noon recess of the court.
The first witness- called by the packers
was I. C. Ivrauthoft of New York, for
merly general counsel for O. Armour.
Just as he was about to lake the stand
the suggestion was made to Mr. Morri
son by John S. Miller, counsel for the
packers, that it might be possible for the
two sides to reach an agreement regard
ing' the facts in tho case and then submit
the case to the court for decision, elimi
nating the jury. Mr. Krauthoff was told
that he need not take the stand, and the
attorneys entered into a conference upon
the facts.
The jury was- excused until 10 o'clock to
morrow morning,, pending the outcome of
the conference.

CUT AWAY THE LINES
Boatswain McCarthy Tells of Tcrri
hlc Sights "When the Valencia,
First Goes Ashore on Piti
less Vancouver Coast.
VICTORIA. B. G, Jan. 24. in an inter
view at Bamflcld Creek tonight. Boatswain
McCarthy 'told the first detailed story of
the wreck. He said the steamer Valencia
had been going by dead reckoning 'and
overran her distance. Soundings had been
made three and four times an hour. The
steamer struck at 11:45 P. M. Monday,
about midship, the first officer, quarter
master and a seaman engaged In sound
ing having ten minutes before got 30
fathoms.
Shortly before the steamer struck she
was going at half Fpeed. Captain John
son immediately shouted "Hard a-s tar-
board" to the quartermaster, and gave or
ders to sound the bilges, which was done.
She did not appear then to be making
much water. ,
The captain then called to the engineer
and asked4if the steamer was making
much water. Before the engineer could
reply, firemen began clambering up from
the llreroom. telling the engineer on the
companion she was filling.
Captain Johnson rang for full speed
astern and made for the beach. The pro
peller had only made a few revolutions,
when the vessel struck and listed to nort.
Captain Johnson was on the bridge when
the vessel struck, with the second officer.
He ran down and gave orders to have two
of the seven boats lowered to the saloon
deck rail.
Instantly tho passengers crowded to the
rail and overcrowded 'the boats. During
the excitement, they cut whatever lines
they could lay their hands on. The davits
broke about the same time the lines were
out, and both boats were smashed at the
sides of the vessel, capsizing the nasscn-
gcrs-and crew in them. The crew threw
lines out. and by means of Jacob's ladders
succeeded in getting about six of the pas
sengers thrown out of these boats on
board again. The boats when lost were
mostly filled with women and children.
One very sad Incident was witnessed. A
man and woman with a little child tried
to get Into ono boat. The father succeed
ed, and the mother tried to pass the
child, but a wave struck her and washed
tho child from her arms. The child was
lost bofore her eyes One llforaft was
also lowered, but It was dashed to pieces.
After this fourboats succeeded In getting
away from the ship, all full of passen
gers. This left one boat and two life-
rafts.
The captain, after consulting with tho
mate, asked McCarthy to take -charge.
which he did, and called for volunteers.
and the five sailors who reached shore in
safety responded. The captain instructed
them to pull along the beach and find a
place to get ashore. They landed at 1:10
P. M. Tuesday, and made Cn Roain
lighthouse at 3 P. M. Before making
Cape Beale they tried to get back to the
vessel by the beach, but could not do so.
During tho ecltcment Captain Johnson
was very cool and calm, and all the crew
weroat their stations. Tho rescued sail
ors cannot bIvo the lighthouse-keeper at
Capo Beale too much credit for the man
ner In which they were treated.
Boatswain McCarthy did nothokl out
much hope for the remaining boats, al
thfeh the other nine survivors arc said
to'nave made shore In a boat, and are
expected to reach Bamfield Thursday.
The survivors are of the opinion that the
entire crew with their exception are lost.
IiOOKED IiIKE A SIGNAL.
Glasses Make Out Something Flut
tering Aboard the Valencia.
VICTORIA, B. C. Jan. 24. (153 P. M.)
The correspondent of the Associated
Press on board the steamer Salvor has
wired from Bta.ni field as follows:
"The steamer Valencia was located by
the steamer Queen at 9 Al M. today on
Point Klanaway, about five miles from
Cape Beale. The tug Czar went In to
investigate and reported that the steamer
was ashore stern first, with her decks
swept clear, with the exception of a small
part of the house and lur two masts still
standing. No persons could be seen alive
on board. In the rigging of the foremast
was what the captain of the Czar took
to be a signal, nlthough he was unable to
say whether it was a piece of sail or a
human belnp clinging to the rigging.
"The Salvor and the tug Czar then left
for "Bamflcld Creek, the Queen standing
by her companion liner.
"When tho Salvor left the scene there
was a heavy swell from the southwest
and the rain was falling in torrents. The
Queen reported having heard three ,gun
snots snortly before the arrival of the
Salvor, but nothing of any living person
was to brf'scen."

NO SIGN OP LIFE ON SHIP
RESCUE VESSELS ARE UNABLE
TO REACH THE "WRECK.
Captain Troup Decides Any Attempt
to Aid From the Seaward Is
Impossible in Storm.
VICTORIA. B. C Jan. 24. A dis
patch from a correspondent on the
Salvor, dated Bamfeld, says:
It was about noon or a little after
when those on the bridge of the Salvor
sighted the tug Czar fighting hard
against the heavy prevailing sea. Soon
those on the Salvor could easily see
the unfortunate Valencia. It was a
bleak scene. Amid the surf which
dashed furiously against the rocks
could be seen the dim outline of the
ship.
Owing to the cloudiness of the sky
and blinding wind and rain It was im
possible to make much out of the sit
uation, even with powerful glasses.
But occasionally when tho white waves
made a suitable background, what was
above the water could be made out
with comparative clearness. There
were two masts quite plainly outlined
and the funnel still Intact.
Being high tide the deck was com
pletely submerged with the exception
of a small portion of the bow. As
far as could be seen there was nobody
on the decks or In tho rigging. Every
thing seemed perfectly bare She was
lying astern toward the beach with the
seas dnshlng over the boat and side.
Judging roughly, she must be about
150 feet from shore, perhaps less.
The Czar got much closer than tho
Salvor, and returning reported to Cap
tain Troup on the former vessel.
"Did you notice anyone standing to
the rigging?" shouted the- captain.
"No," was the reply from the tug
skipper. "But there is something fly
ing from the masts. I can't Just make
out what it is.".
After slight hesitation. Captain
Troup asked whether it could possibly
be any of the passengers who, as a last
resort, might bo clinging desperately
to the mast in the hope of being picked
up. Those on the . tug-did riot think
suoh a thing could be posslb'le,' in
clining tod the opinion that It was
simply aplcce of sail or something of
that nature. Nor does It seem posslblo
to believe that there could be anything
alive on the ship In her present condi
tion. The appearance of the Valencia pre
sents, as she lies hopelessly aground
with the water covering everything-but
masts and funnel, make it Impossible
to conceive of anyone remaining with
her since the occurrence of the disaster
at Midnight Monday.
This is the conclusion come - to by
the seamen on the steamer Salvor.
They stated that it was highly improb
able any rescuing could be attempted.
Even if anyone was then on the vessel
it would have been perilous indeed
for the three steamers then available,
the Salvor, the Queen and the Czar,
with tholr combined crews, to have got
sufficicnty close to pass a line to' the
deck of the wreck. As Captain Troup
remarked:
."Rescue from seaward Is impossible.
If there Is anyone still on board, aid
must come from the shore."

Queen Reports That No Rescue Can
Be Attempted.
SEATTLE. Jan. 24. The latest news
from the wreck of the Valencia. Is con
flicting and discouraging. The report
from the steamship Queen that 25 pas
sengers were clinging to the vessel's rig-
ring and that no possibility existed of
saving any of them was later followed by
the story that the wreck had gone to
pieces. The Queen was at the outer dock
at Victoria when the first dispatch was
sent.
As only 15 survivors have been heard
from so far, it Is probable that the lo
of life will reach the estimate of 140 sent
out late this aftemopn. -
SURVIVORS OX THE AVAY.

VICTORIA. B. C. Jan. 24. (5:20 P.
M.) The six survivors who were at Cape
Beale have' started for Bamfield. Jen
nings, an operator from Bamfield, and
Harry Cook, diver from the Salvor, went
to meet and assist them.
The remaining nine have reached
Darling River, but cannot cross .owing to
high water. They are expected at Bam
field tomorrow.
Xo Bodies on the Salvor.
VICTORIA. B. C. Jan. 2t. The Ta
coma story of the Salvor coming with 60
corpses Is one of many unfounded
rumors which have been current since
early morning. She was reported at
Bamfield Creek this afternoon with no
bodies. The Queen Is expected to return
this evening, as she Is being relieved at
the wreck by the City of Topeka.
There are other rumors, one that the
Salvor has 25 survivors, but this Is also
thought to be untrue. Rumors are also
current that the steamer Queen has lost
a boat with its crew, but this also Is
unfounded as far as can be learned.

Wonders of a
Modern Factory
Machinery Does the Work of Human.
Hands and the Perfect Food
Is Hade in Absolute
Cleanliness.
A visit to the greatest modern- food fac
tory Is a revelation to any ono not fa
miliar with the development of machinery
In recent years. Such a visit verifies the
claims of the manufacturers of Malta
Vita, that this perfect whole-wheat food
is cooked, steamed, mixed, baked and
packed In absolute cleanliness.
'Purity" is the watchword of this won
derful establishment. From the time the
wheat Is received in the factory until the
finished product is shipped outTto all parts
of the world. Malta-Vita Is not soiled by
human hands. Machinery, clean, shining
machinery, conveys the wheat through all
the long process, even to the packing and
sealing of the air-tight, germ-proof, dirt
proof packages.

Into voting for Governor Chamberlain.
Mayor Ianc and all other Democrats,
refused point-blank to discuss the affair
yesterday, but he Is willing to have the
case tried out In court. Bruin is loth to
admit that one of his right-hand sleuths
would mix In politics In so rough-shod a
manner; showing so little finesse as to
arrest a nonpartisan to advance his po
litical faith.
Bruin, however, has assumed the role
of investigator the affair having been
turned over to film by Chief Gritzmacher.
The head sleuth says It Is no investiga
tion, but that he is "just looking Into the
matter." His "looking" has resulted in
a request to the Municipal Court that
Murphy be tried to determine the truth

that Murphy tried to "razzle" him into
voting against his convictions.
Connelly was not In court yesterday
morning, but It Is said he will be able

CONTAGIOUS
KING OF ALL DISEASES
To Contagious Blood Poison rightfully belongs the name Elinc: of
Diseases. It is the most powerful of
part of the body and wrecking and ruining the lives of those unfortunate
enough to contract it. When the first sign appears in the form of an insig
nificant sore or ulcer, few persons realize that the deadly virus has entered
the blood; but so potent is the poison that one drop will vitiate and pollute
the purest and healthiest blood, and in a short time the degrading and hor
rible symptoms begin to appear. The mouth and throat ulcerate, the glands
in the neck and groins swell, the hair and eye-brows fall out, copper-colored
spots appear on the body, and in the latter stages of the disease the poison
even works down and destroys the bones. No other disease is so highly
contagious, and many have contracted it and suffered its awful consequences
through a friendly hand-shake, handling the clothing of one afflicted with
it, or drinking from the same vessel. S. S. S., The King of Blood Purifiers,
is the only cure for Contagious Blood Poison. It goes down into the cir
culation and forces out every particle
