100 Bodies Washed Ashore at
Stcenbergen Great Damage Done
Much Property Lost.
AMSTARDAM, Holland, Oct. 3.
Advices received here today state
that there was a heavy loss of life
as the result of the hi storm which
swept over tho North Sea on Sun
day aua much loss of hhipping prop
erty. Forty-five large vessels are
wrecked and most of their crews per
ished in the angry waters. It is
known that 12 mussel fishing boats
havo been destroyed or badly dam
aged in various parts of tho sea.
At Stcenbergen 'JS bodies were
washed ashore.
It became known here tonight that
at least 100 persons were drowned in
Sunday's storm. Jfare than 100
corpses have already been washed
ashore.
pretty sure lo he used by the Demo
erats as an argument for making so
surities keep down to their real val
uo through an enforcement of tho
anti trust law.
Commenting on tho fall of steel
prices, Chairman Stanley, of tlio
houso committee which just now is
investigating tho steel triint, said that
nothing could better demonstrate tin
necessity of enforcing tho anti truit
law.
"It is obvious," Mr, Stanloy said,
"that the reason steel stocks fell a
hundred million dollars is beeauso
tho trust was operating under an as
sumption of immunity from prosecu
tion under tho anti trust act. Tho
instant that immunity was threatened
tho stocks fell. Tho very insecurity
of tho basis on which tho. trust rests
as thus shown, is sufficient reason
for nn application of tho law that will
compel tho steel 'millionaires to put
their business on a more legitimativo
foundation. Otherwise, their stock-
TAR DISAGREES
WITH LAND PLAN
President Voices Sensational Disa
greement With Findings of Public
Land Congress Now in Session at
Denver.
DKXVEIl, Col. Oct. 3. Sensation
al disagreement with tho findings of
tho public land congress was voiced
horo today by Prosldont Taft. Tho
convention had already adopted reso.
lutlons reserving to the. different
states control of tho publla lands
within their bordors as ngulnst con
trol by tlio federal govornmont. To
Jheso resolutions Presldoat Taft em
phatically took excojitlou. Ho said
in part:
"While you havo already reglstorod
your vordlct on many points of which
I totally dlsagreoo with you, you
want to remombor that tho question
is how wo aro to find an afflrmatlvo
romedy for tho existing situation.
Tho big problem la now much of a
romedy you can secure for tho ovlls
oxlstlug.
'Tho proposition before you Ih
holders will always bo approhousivo, whether you will lose nil by claiming
fliet coulinue, Turkey willwretklwfar '
to the fullest extent. Tho note adds:
"Tho Sultan Jias so far postponed
such measures, hoping that it is still
possible to end the war on a basis of
justice and equity."
Italy Kefuscs.
LONDON, Oct 3. Absolute refus
al by Italy to consider tho acceptance
of intervention by the powers io the
burden of dispatches from Rome re
ceived by diplomats here today. Tur
key, say Constantinople advices,
scorns tho idea that Italy pay cash
for Tripoli, and in the light of these
statements little hopo of on early
termination of the struggle is felt in
official circles here.
Malta cables to tlio for"ign of
fice, declare that tho Turks in gar
rison in Tripoli aro suffering little
from today's bombardment by tho
Italian fleet. Moslems nro said to
hold n strong position 50 miles in
land, in which they will entrench
when finally driven back from tho
coast. Sixty thousand Arabs nro
said to havo joined tho Turks, whoso
advance guard to tho main force is
now 20 miles fro mtho const, when'
the Italian landing in tho city of Tri
poli is completed, desperate battles
aro expected before they nro able to
really begin tlio conquest of tho in
terior. Transport Sunk.
It is reported thnt before tho bonvf
hardment of tho city began tho Itul
imis sank tho Turkish transport Dor.
nn.
It is now certain Hint tho Turkish
fleet is safe intho Dardanelles, It is
nnchorcd off Mngar. Tho Turkish
government today, in fear of possiblo
attempts ngainst its warships, noti
fied all morchantmon that tho war
vessels will open firo upon any ship
which nttempts to pass their anchor
ago nt night.
St. Petersburg reports nyp that
tho Czar is roady to support Turkey
in tho Itnlian conflict if thq Port
will assure to nil Russian vessqln a
freo and unrestricted passage of the
Dardanelles herenftor. No express
sion is yet obtainable from tho Hrit
ish foreign office as to what stand
will lio taken by England in reference
to this arrangements.
