REBATES GIVEN ON GRAIN.
Elevator Men Say Railroads Drove
Them Out of Business.
Chicago. Oct. 3. William H. Suf-
ferns, of Decatur, III., was the first
witness at today's session of the inter
state Commerce Commission which Is
Investigating the alleged rebate cases.
Sufforns entered the grain exporting
business over nine years ago. Throe
years ago, ho discovered that Harris,
Scoten & Co., graiamen of Chicago,
and RoBonbaum & Co. were receiving
an elevator allowance at Now Orleans
of 2 cents per hundred pounds from
the Illinois Central railroad.
"The rate on grain for export via
New Orleans was 12 cents per hun
dred," said the witness. "Two cents
of that went to the export elevator In
terest, and the remainder to the rail
road. The rebate allowed these firms
prevented mo from competeing with
them In the European market. I dis
covered they were offering grain In
European mnrkeis at what It cost here.
They had an actual advantage of IVi
cents.
"I quit the export business last win
ter, because I could not live, let alone
make anything."
R. J. Barr, of New Orleans, told a
similar story.

TAFT WINS CUBANS
Believe He has Come to Uplift
Fallen Republic.
SPEAKS AT HAVANA UNIVERSITY
Refuses to Evict Poor From Barracks
to Make Room for Soldiert
Amnesty for Prisoners.
Havana, Oct. 2. Governor Tart's
acts today have gone far to win him a
warm place in the hoartH of the people
whose dcHtlnloH have, boon placed In
IiIh hands. I'roHldlng this morning at tho
opening exercises of tho University of
Havana, ho declared his mission hero
wiih Holely for tho purpose of uplifting
the falbn Republic and restoring It to
tho path of prosperity, an announce
ment which wan received with demon
strations of delight by nn audience rep
rcHontatlvo of the highest society in
Havana.
Following thlH It became known that
Mr. Taft and Assistant Secretary of
Slate Bacon had cabled for their wlvs
to Join them hero, a step which can
not but be most agreeable to the Cuban
people and which will strongly cement
the bonds of affection between them
and the American provisional adminis
tration. Still another act of Mr. Taft is
warmly commended as Illustrative of
his thoughtful consideration of the
humbler classes. Learning that many
poor families occupying the tempor
arily disused barracks at Camp Co
lumbia were about to be summarily
evicted by order of the Cuban author
ities In preparation for tho occupation
of tho quarters by the brigade or
marines, Mr. Taft wont to Camp Co-
umbla In an automobile, explained
hat he had not been aware of the con-
litions and recinded the order. He
eft the camp amid cheers and warm
xprcHslons of gratitude from the peo-
ile. Tho news of this act of humanity
spread rapidly and received the high
est praise.
Much of tho Governor's time today
was occupied In receiving officials or
tho various departments and judges of
the courts. With the members of the
Supreme Court he held a long confer
ence concerning the drafting of a
proclamation of general amnesty. This
decree Is of the most Importance, In
view of the fact that at many points
on the Island, notably Clenfuegos,
many persons are In Jail awaiting the
disposition of political charges.
Bible Not the Word of God.
Detroit, Oct. 2 Bishop Charles D
Williams, of the Episcopal diocese of
Michigan, In an address to Y. M. C. A.
members here on "The Bible and the
Word of God," declared that the Bible
was not the word of God and that the
teachings to the contrary are the most
prolific sources of unbelief the church
has to contend with. The Bishop saldr
"Nowhere does the Bible declare
Itself the word of God. Yet we are
told we must take it in Its entirety. It
is a venerable book and visitors are
requested not to touch it, as it Is the
direct word of God, there is no other.
"Take the young man Just out of
college. He reads Genesis and nnus
Impossible geology, astronomy and
ethnology. His teacher, when ques
tioned says: 'Manipulate It until It fits
your sciences." If too honest to handle
the word of God craftily, the young
man gives up the Bible. He refuse
to stultify his reason.
"The Bible needs no defense; all It
needs Is a square deal. There are
those who read It devoutly and dili
gently, but I never say the Bible Is tha
word of God. I say the Bible and the
word of God. To those who accept the
entire book as the literal word of God
I point out that it Is nowhere so
stated. Christ tore asunder the Old
Testament precepts, the law of Moses,
and furnished new ones. Where the
Old Testament directed men to hate
their enemies the teachings of Christ
were to love your enemies.
Taft's Advice to Cubans.
Havana, Oct. 2. The flower of Ha
vana Boclety was present at the open
ing of Havana University. After the
annual address Governor Taft present
ed the diplomas to the successful stu
dents and then made a notable ad
dress, the spirit of which was that the
Intervention of the United States was
undertaken solely to assist Cuba and
Cubans and that her future was de
pendent upon her young men. Mr.
Taft spoke in English, pausing at
every sentence for Its interpretation.
Afraid of Thermometer.
Constantinople, Oct. 2. A report
that the Sultan is so ill that he has
only six months to live Is untrue. Ills
ailment does not threaten any Immed
iate serious results. The only danger
consists in Abdul Hamld's objection
to ordinary medical precautions. Under
no consideration will he have his tem
perature taken, as he is afraid of hav
ing a thermometer put in his mouth
or under his arm lest the instrument
explode.
Kansas to Oust Standard.
Topeka, Kan., Oct. 2. Suits were in
stituted in the Supreme Court today
by Attorney-General Coleman under
the state anti trust act to oust the
Standard Oil Company and the Inter
national Harvester Company
DROWNED AT HIS P08T.
Keeper of Lighthouse on Gulf Declines
to Take Refuge on Tug.
Mobile, Ala., Oct. 2. The number of
casualties In tho great storm of last
Wednesday Is slowly Increasing, as
messagoH arrive from places which
have heretofore been Inaccessible. Tho
total laHt night of tho known dead was
75. This number wag brought up to
a certainty of 79, and a possibility of
102, by tho reports which reached Mo
bile during tho night and early today.
Pour bodies not. before counted have
been found at Codon, and It Is esti
mated that 23 IIvoh have been lost
from tho oyster fleet around Cedar
Point. TMh last estimate Is not known
to lie accurate, and Is probably some
what exaggerated, for the reason that
It Includes among the dead every man
aboard a fishing boat who has not been
heard of since the storm.
It is known that some of the boats
on which these men were have been
driven ashore, and It is entirely pos
sible tkat somo of the crews managed
to reach the shore. It does not seem
likely at present that the death roll
will amount In this vicinity to more
than 125.
Mobile Itself Is rapidly emerging
from the confusion caused by the
storm. Iarge gangs were kept work
ing all of Sunday in clearing the
streets of debris, three of the street
car linos have commenced to run, for
the first time since Wednesday, tho
confusion at the docks Is rapidly be
ing repaired and business will be at
normal action as Boon as the Tallroads
are able to run trains.
The keeper of the Horn Island light
house. Just outside of Scranton, lost
his life. The captain of a tug which
came near the bouse at the commence
ment of the storm urged him to leave,
but he refused to abandon his post,
and In a Bhort time was drowned. The
entire end of the Island on which the
lighthouse was situated is said to have
been carried away by the waves.
Five out of eight vessels at Ship
Island at the time of the storm were
beached and two will be total wrecks.
Several vessels, the names of which
are unknown, are ashore off Horn Is
land and the Bmall Islands marking
the passage between Dauphin Island
and the mainland have been destroyed.
The beacon lights on this part of the
coast are not greatly damaged.
The schooner Alice Graham, of Mo
bile, Is known to have been lost, with
her crew of six men. This boat has
been pursued by an evil fate, and, be
sides having various mishaps from
time to time, was wrecked In the great
storm of 1893, when several people
were lost from her.
Four bodies have been picked up In
the water near Dauphin Island and
have been burled there. Two were
evidently sailors and two were boys.
The people on Dauphin Island suffered
great hardships during the storm, and
for 24 hours were In great danger. The
soldiers of Fort Gaines made a dan
gerous trip- of two miles to the resi
dences on the Island, offering to give
everybody shelter within the fort, but
the offer was In all cases refused, the
people preferring to remain In their
own houses.
Vancouver Troops for Cuba.
Vancouver Barracks, Wash., Oct. 1.
To assist in protecting life and prop
erty and in preserving peace in Cuba
the "Pearl of the Antilles" is the
peaceful, rather than war like, mis
sion which will start the Seventeenth
and Eighteenth mountain batteries
now stationed here across the conti
nent to Newport News at an early
hour today and which later will lead
them to the scene of the present West
Indian imbroglio. It will be the first
time that these troops, equipped bet
ter than the foot or mounted soldiery
of any other post In America to wage
warfare among the mountain passes
and Inaccessible highlands of Cuba,
have been away from the Columbia
River garrison since their return from
the Philippines nearly two years ago,
save for their short trip to San- Fran
cisco to do patrol duty following the
earthquake.
Great Trad Was Flooded.
New Orleans, Oct. 2. Reports that
probably a dozen lives were lost and
that hundreds of square miles of land
were under 18 Inches to four feet of
water during the hurricane on the
Mississippi river delta were brought
here today. The inundated tract is
mostly inhabited by fishermen and oys
termen. Messages which left these
villages last night said that up to that
time several persons were still miss
ing. The loss to the United States
Marine Hospital quarantine station on
Ship Island is about $60,000.
Six Added to Death List.
New Orleans, Oct. 2. Six more
deaths were added to the list of
drowned In the Mississippi Sound re
gion today. Captain Culver, his wife
and four boatsmen, who were on an
Island in Grand Bay on the Mississippi-Alabama
state line when the hur
ricane began, have been given up for
lost. Everything on the islands was
washed into the bay, leaving the place
almost barren.
Another Storm Is Coming.
Washington, Oct. 2. The Weather

Cupt Ernest Bent, commander of tho
