Both the women made an earnest plea for the adoption of a resolution presented by Thomas I. Kidd request­ ing that congress make an appropria­ tion to be used to investigate the con­ ditions existing among the women workers in the United States. Miss McDowell said there were 2,000,000 women in this country who were compelled to make their own liv­ ing. The union men at present were not as helpful to these women as they should be, she said, but as these fe­ male toilers had to work they must either be co-operators with the federa­ tion members or its competitors. The resolutioh was unanimously adopted. The Rev. Charles Stelze of Chicago, superintendent of the department of church and labor of the Presbyterian church in America, then addressed the convention, speaking of trade union­ ism and its relation to the church. He said: "The organized church and organ­ ized labor stand for the sar^e princi­ ples. If I thought the church did not stand for these principles I would abandon it immediately. Trade union­ ism has accomplished mucft for the people of this country, and, while I understand that unionism Is responsi­ ble for a number of evils, its good deeds overshadow all the evil ones. The ministers of the church are not well enough acquainted With unionism and its principles, and I will say now th'at it will be my aim to teach the 8,000 preachers of the Presbyterian faith in this country more about the ethics of unionism in the next year."

After the second shot the man disappeared in the woods. The police a search for the murderer, HUNDRED LOST Channel Steamer Is Wrecked Off the Northern Coast of France. ONLY SIX PERSONS ARE SAVED Rescuers Find Survivors Clinging to the Mast, Which was Still Above Water, and Five Others are Report­ ed to Have Escaped. London; Nov. 20.--Between ninety and a hundred lives were lost by the wrecking of the St. Hilda, a cross channel steamer, near Jardin light­ house, off the north coast of France, in a snow storm early Sunday morn­ ing. The St. Hilda, which was owned by the London and Southwestern Railroad company, sailed from Sothampton for St. Malo Friday night with more than 120 on board, including passengers and crew. Frnch reports of the disaster de« clare 123 lives were lost At the'oif- flces of the railroad company here it is estimated ninety-four persons were drowned. -. More than sixty Of the passengers of the St. Hilda were Breton peasants who were on their way home with the proceeds of the sale in England of their onion harvest, on which their families depend for their living through winter. All but five of these perished. Twenty names were' on the first cabin passenger list of the steamer. These included several English people. Among them were the Hbn. Mrs. But­ ler, sister-in-law of Lord Lanesbor- ough, and Col. Follet. English Officers Are Lost. Though it is not certain that these were actually on board, they were ex­ pected to travel by the Hilda, and it is known that all the first class passen­ gers were drowned. These passengers were English officers and others who were coming to rejoin their families or to spend the season at St. Malo and Dinard, oppsite St. Malo. Of all who left Southampton on the wrecked steamer only six persons defi­ nitely are known to have been saved. It is reported that five others landed on a boat on the coast of France, but this report has not been confirmed. The wreck of the St. Hilda was dis­ covered by the steamer Ada of the same line, on leaving St. Malo for Southampton Sunday. To the mast of the sunken vessel, which was still above water, six survivors were cling­ ing. These were rescued by the Ada's boats. They proved to be five Breton farmers and a sailor. Survivors say that after, the St. Hil­ da left Southampton a heavy fog set in, rendering navigation dangerous, and it was compelled to anchor. Sat­ urday morning the steamer again started. In the meantime the weather had become rough, a gale, accompan­ ied by snowstorms blowing. Jardin light was sighted late Satur­ day night through the thick snow then falling. The passengers and part of the crew were asleep and never knew what happened. Apparently the St. Hilda, after making the light, lay to, for it did not strike until early Sun­ day morning.

' Roosevelt's Cousin Resigns. Washington dispatch: President Roosevelt has accepted the resigna­ tion of his cousin, Lieut. Fortesque, of the army, who was mixed up la the Taggart divorce case. who accompanied this steamer from Southampton, mistook the distance owing to the snow. The survivors say the shock broke' the St. Hilda amidships. A majori­ ty of those on board were washed out of it when the hull parted. The time between its striking and sink­ ing was so short that there was not time to lower all the lifeboats. Two, however, got away. One of these has since been found empty, and the other is reported to have landed five per­ sons at St. Gervan. The delay in the arrival of the St Hilda, at first inspired a little anx­ iety, as there was dreadful weather In the channel, and as every one had full confidence In its captain, Gregory, an experienced man, who was likely to exercise caution in approaching the dangerous coast Of Brittainy, which* he had known for thirty years. The disaster was first suspected through the washing ashore of a body, and the port authorities immediately sent out a tug. It was then learned the St. Hilda was wrecked on a treacherous reef close to the island of Cezambre, called "Les Portes." Many bodies have been washed ashore at different points, some wear­ ing life belts. TWO ARE KILLED BY EXPLO8ION Accident at Illinois Powder Mill in­ jures Other Employes.

Garfield, commissioner of corpora­ tions, will form an important part of the answer which will be filed by the government in the court at Chicago early next week. Attorney General Moody gave out a statement Thursday which, as^he said, would give the pub­ lic that accurate information to which It Is entitled. He declared that none of the eight pleas was of sufficient force to balk the government in Its determination to prosecute the beef men now under indictment Ten pleas have been filed, eight of them being based upon the alleged conduct of Mr. Garfield. After reciting the resolution under which the commissioner made his investiga­ tion and the substance of the pleas to which, he refers, the attorney general enters into his wholesale denial. Compulsion Was Not Used. "The gpvernment denies in point of fact," he says, "that Mr. Garfield did compel the several defendants to at­ tend and- testify and produce docu­ ments before him, or that he did subpoena any of the defendants to appear before him and testify or pro­ duce documentary evidence, or that he waived the oath which he was au­ thorized to require of them, or that he promised them any immunity what­ ever in the premises, or that any evi­ dence obtained from the defendants was delivered to or used by the depart­ ment of justice or the district attorney before the grand Jury which found the Indictment. Packers Sought Immunity. "The attorney general further says that he is Informed by Mr. Garfield and believes that at certain stages of the investigation the defendants de­ clined to give Information .unless they were put in a position to obtain the immunity provided by the act of Con­ gress and required by the Constitu­ tion of the United State, and that when such instances occurred, acting after conference with the attorney general, Mr. Garfield refrained from pursuing the inquiry further and made no other attempt to obtain in­ formation, documentary or otherwise, along these lines." May Prosecute Criminally. - It Is denied, as charged in another pled, that the government obtained any papers of the defendants for use before the grand jury otherwise than by the orderly process of a subpoena. It is also denied that the Injunction proceedings against the so-called "beef trust" constitute any bar to criminal prosecution. It is added that the answer already prepared by Mr. Pagln under the direction of the at­ torney general raises a mixed Issue of law and fact. • PEORIA PINKER IS ARRAIGNED Newton I," Dougherty Pleads Not ' Guilty to Embezzlement.

Fashionable Women to Make Lace. Lace making is to be a diversion of fashionable women in Washington this winter. Mrs. Roosevelt may be called the pioneer of this movement, though the wife of the French ambas­ sador, Mme. Jusserand, and several other women in the diplomatic corps have added to its popularity. When Mrs. Roosevelt receives the women of the cabinet circle for the weekly bou­ doir conference she works on % piece of filmy lace while important affairs of the next social season are discuss­ ed. Whenever the President's wife receives an intimate friend in the sunny western alcove of the second corridor of the White House, which is her special preserve, she makes her lace, chats, stops long enough to take a cup of tea and begins at her lac* again. 'iS PA88INQ OF PORRIDQE Makes Way for the Better Food of • Better Day. "Porridge is no longer used for breakfast in my home," writes a loyal Britain from Huntsville, Ont. This was an admission of no small signifi­ cance to one "brought up" on the time- honored stand-by. "One month ago," she continues, "I bought a package of Grape-Nuts food for my husband, who had been an in­ valid for over a year. He had passed through a severe attack of pneumonia and la grippe combined, and was left in a very bad condition when they passed away. "I tried everything for his benefit* but nothing seemed to do him any good. Month followed month and he still remained as weak as ever. I was. almost discouraged about him when got the Grape-Nuts, but the resul|§ has compensated me for esy anxiety. "In the one month that he has eat­ en Grape-Nuts he has gained 1 pounds in weight, his strength is rap^# • idly returning to him, and he feelft; like a new man. Now we all ea&/ ~ Grape-Nuts food, and are the better for it. Our little 5 year old boy, who used to suffer from pains in the stom­ ach after eating the old-fashioned por­ ridge, has no more trouole since he began to use Grape-Nuts, and I have no more doctor's bills to pay for him. "We use Grape-Nuts with only sweet cream, and find it y-e most tasty dish in our bill of fare. "Last Monday I ate 4 teaspoonfuls of Grape-Nuts and cream for break-, - . fast, nothing else, then set to worker - and got my morning's work done by 9ttl: o'clock, and felt less tired, much stronger, than if I had made my break­ fast on meat, potatoes, etc., as I used! to. I wouldn't be without Grape-Nuts in the house for any money." Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek. Mich. There's a reason.
