(panic was avoided by efficient work I Fears of Passengers Calmed by Officers Both Cruiser and Liner Forced into Port to Make Repairs. (National Newi Association) SOUTHAMPTON, Eng., Sept. 20. The White Star steamship Olympic, the biggest ship in the world, was run down by the British cruiser Hawk, In Cowes Roadsted at noon today and damaged so badly she had to be beached. Twelve hundred first and second class passengers, including many American millionaires, were transferred to shore. Including the steerage the Olympic bad 3,000 souls aboard. The cruiser smashed into the Olympic's starboard quarter, the water flooding the post office in the hold, probably ruining much mail. Olympic was bound for New York. The Olympic was later floated and proceeded to Southampton. The cruiser Hawk was badly damaged but not crippled. The excitement on the Olympic did not assume panicky proportions. How Accident Occurred. The cruiser was steaming' in the same direction as the 'Olympic at the time of the disaster. The warship forged ahead and apparently her pilot attempted to cross the liner's bows. The prow of the warship Bwung toward the giant vessel while she slowly turned about There was a crushing sound and the two vessels drifted apart. The warchip had rammed two holes into the liner below the water line. In addition ;to the one. on the starboard quarter, ' there was another astern. There was a , momentarg(J&eJn& pt. danger among the, passengers and some of the women screamed aloud In their terror; The heavy steel plates of the cruiser's bows were crushed to the water line. After standing by until the Olympic was out of danger the Hawk proceeded stcwly to the Portsmouth navy yard. . No .ooner had the Olympic rammed her nose into the mud than repair work was under way. Ragged - holes were patched as best as could be done and the captain gave orders for her to get under way and she set out at a snail's pace for Southampton. Although the transferring of the passengers was a gigantic task it was carried through with clock-like precision. The passengers were mustered on deck while the army of stewards went below to secure the baggage of the passengers which was turned over to them when they were removed. The aggregate wealth of the Olympic salon passengers was over a half billion dollars, thirty millionaires being on the passenger list. No one was hurt on the liner and it was reported that no one on the Hawk had been hurt. Y.M.CA, WORKBEGINS 'Activities of Boys Department Are Booming, '. The opening of the public schools was the signal for the commencement . of activities at the boys' department of the Y. M. C. A. All yesterday afternoon the boys' section of thje building was crowded, and as Boon as the recitations were over, the same number flocked to the association. Quite s many lads as the heads of the Y.

HARVESTER TRUST WILL BEJTTACKEO Company in Effort to Thwart Government Action by a Reorganization Plan. (National News Association) CHICAGO, Sept. 20. The International Harvester company will be the next great trust to be legally attacked by the government of the United States. Attorney-General Wickersham already has prepared papers in the case and the company is preparing to forestall action by reorganizing on its own initiative. The plan of reorganization is said to be that of the McCormick family and is regarded as a defeat for J. Pierpont Morgan, inasmuch as Morgan is being entirely out ,ot arrangements. Clarence' S. Funk, Morgan's man,1 will retire as general manager of the conern when- his twMtiaet eXTjrtres- "In' November. Attorney General Wickersham's plan to attack the Harvester trust came as a surprise R9 it was generally believed that, the United States Steel corporation was the next to fall under the gavel. McCormick's plan to reorganize without court order created just as much of a surprise, especially to the Attorney-General, and embarrassed him not a little, according to reports in the financial district. Information about the proposed proceedings came "underground" from Washington. The real men in the Harvester trust were not long in deciding what to do. They at once sent a communication to Washington, asking that they be allowed to reorganize into a "lawful trust." Morgan's interest in" the company is well known. He is declared to have forced the McCormicks into the trust against their own will. The present move, however, likely will sweep away his financial power and leave the business in the family of the founder of the industry.

BAYONET IS RULER THROUGHOUT SPAIN General Weyler, the "Butcher" Will Be Put in Com,mand of the Army. (National News Association) MADRID, Sept. 20. The general strike, called by the federation union to go into effect throughout Spain today precipitated more revolutionary outbreaks in scattered localities. The cabinet reconvened this morning after a long night session, with King Alfonso present and the sternest repressive measures were agreed upon. Labor agitators will be classed as political prisoners and will be tried by courtmartial. The government is convinced that the radical republicans and the semianarchistic allies among the rabid socialists are responsible for the unrest which is leveled in reality at the monarchy. Anti-monarchists are increasing the ferment throughout the nation. , So far there has been nugeatipA that "Don "Jamie, the Bourbon preten der to the Spanish throne, is implicated in the uprising," but it is reported that spies have been sent to keep a close watch upon the pretender.' Have Fullest Powers. The bayonet rules throughout this Siberian nation today and military leaders have been granted the fullest powers in dealing with rioting. Gen. Weyler, the "Butcher," the most hated man in Spain, who is governor of the tumultuous province of Catalonia, will probably be placed in command of the army of the North. Weyler is notorious for his cruelty and plot after plot has been directed at his life by republicans hut all have failed. Communication already has been crippled to a grave extent and only government wires were working to some localities today. However, before the services failed, continued scenes of violence were reported from ! Valencia, Saratoga, Cadiz, Gijon, Bar celona and other centers. An attempt has been made to tie up all the important ports of the country but withh indifferent success. The cabinet has decided to exercise a censorship over news insofar as it relates to the progress of the revolutionary movement against the monarchy. At Leon and Seville, soldiers were compelled to fire upon rioters before they would disperse. At Alcira. the revolutionists, however, seized the local government, proclaiming it a republican commune. The republican flag has been hoisted above the public buildings. Premier Canalejas is gravely worried over the outlook. At best only between 70,000 and 80.000 soldiers can be mustered and many reservists declare they , will refuse to obey a call to. arms. The draft may be put into effect. i Extraordinary precautions are being taken' to' guard the life of King Alfonso. Royal footguards are stationed pbout the King's castle and heavy guards. have been placed, upon 4 the courtyard with a battery of machine guns whlgh sweep all .approaches from the walls., : t ' In some quarters. the sullen .rage of anarchy and o"f workmen who consider them so oppressed by economic, conditions, have' been'intehsified by hunger. Food prices are rising rapidly. In the Rio Tinto-district in which nearly one-third of the entire copper output of Europe is produced, mines are idle and workmen .are clamoring. The disorder at Valencia ! is reported to be the worst throughout the Kingdom. Several persons are reported to . have been killed and scores wounded. Rioters built barricades in the streets and fired upon the municipal guard and the soldiers who tried to dislodge them. The women fought side by side with the men.

More attention will be paid to Glen Miler park next year than has been given it for some years. Liberal provision was made in the budget for improvements.

Chicago Federal Judge Says He Will Remain Upon the Bench if Such an Investigation Is Desired.

A SLEUTH HAS BEEN ON JURIST'S TRAIL But Grosscup Says that This Has Nothing to Do With His Resignation Case Is Regarded a Mystery. (National News Association) CHICAGO, Sept. 20. Judge Peter Grosscup sprung another sensation today when he announced that be would remain -on the bench for the time being if an investigation of his acts was desired. "There is ho connection whatever between the alleged work of a detective in following me and my resignation. If any responsible officer of United States government, - if any responsible magazine editor or any responsible citizen will come to the front with the assertion that I am resigning under pressure and will show reasons for such an assertion I will remain on the bench until such a time as an opportunity has been given for an investigation of my acts as a United States judge." It was intimated today that Judge Grosscup was practically forced to resign because of the charges of friendly relations with corporations which have been brought against him.' His resignation was shrouded with deep mystery. ' The 'fact that for two years Judge Grosscup had been followed by secret service men had much to do, in the opinion of many wijth his decision to resign. Judge Grosscup is known to have amassed wealth. No Judge, in all probability;" has been more 'often or Openly assailed. He has been time and aeain ' accused of having played into the hands of the corporations. In hd japleantfme. the secret o the -shadowing of Judge Grosscup has ; not been, revealed. The man who has been shadowing was one of the shrewdest operatives ot the secret ' service. Whether he had been employed by the government or private parties In this work Is not known,1 although it was renorted he was in the employ of Everybody's Magazine.

More than 100 autos were in the President's escort. All industries in Marquette suspended operations for the day and every brass band within twenty miles was commandered for the occasion. This was a quiet day for President Taft so far as speech making goes. Only two speeches were made from his private car instead of the average four or five a day. Great throngs came into town from outlying points to join in the welcome to the President. The early morning trains were jammed. Oa the drive through the streets the President was heartily greeted.

Declares. , The local school authorities say that in all probability the usual number of students who are really unfit' for .stu dy, will present themselves for instruction at the public schools. Superintendent T. A. Mott says that in many cases delinquencies' in class room work are , much ' more the result .of poor health. than of too little study, and he wants to Warn the parents of school children at the beginning of the year that many of the failures which the parents hold against the students are to be charged to fathers and mothers who fail to give their children proper, medical attention. . Mr. Mott lays special stress on the condition of the "eyes and throat as these are the organs' that are (most frequently affected. Mr.' Mott asserts that Richmond is no exception to the general average in the case of adenoids. Many are the . pupils here, according to the . superintendent, , who fall below passing grades in Uheir classes, and are credited with' lack of study, when they are . actually, suffering from a growth in . their throats. In some cases theschpplauthorities have found out the situation, and have told the parents that - their children should be taken at once to a specialist. In most cases this is done, and the afflicted child soon picks up his work, but some parents, says Mr, Mott, are afraid that any operation might develop serious consequences, and refuse to have the offending growth removed even with the warning of the school officials. . Dr. J. E. King, the county health officer agreeB with the view, taken in this , matter by the school superintendent, and says that undoubtedly many students . are now in the ; Richmond schools who are in serious need of medical attention. . In addition to admitting the harm done from failure to attend to the trouble with the eyea and throat, Dr. King stated, that such ordinary ills as stomach aches were apt to effect a student's work for some time. He agreed with Mr. Mott in the belief that numerous fathers were afraid to trust their children to the care of a specialist, but could not understand the reasons for 'such a course, as the children , could hardly hope to regain their health without ex pert assistance.
