MARINE DISASTERS DUE TO WILDWINTER STORM Steamer Kiowa Rammed and Sunk by the Admiral Dewey in Boston Harbor.

DREDGER

ALSO SUNK

And Three of the Crew Lori Snow, Wind and Cold in New England and Xew York.

BOSTON. Dec. 25. After one of the mildest Christmas days for many years a wild winter's torm broke over New Englaud to-day and. as usual, was accountable for a number of murine disasters. Up to 7 o'clock three wrecks had been reported, while several other vessels had been in distress during the day. One of the wrecks, a dredger, which sunk within six miles of the wharves of Boston, resulted in the loa of three men, but in the case of the other, two. the sinking of the steamer Kiowa, off Boston light, and the wreck of the barge John W. Mackay. off Watch Hill, R. I., ev ry one was saved. The storm center pusst-d over northern New England durum the forenoon and the snowfall throughout that section was quite heavy, especially In Maine and New Hampshire, while wind velocities reaching tore than fifty miles an hour were reported from some points. To-night the mercery in the thrmom ter is falling by leaps and bounds. Reports from Maine and New Hampshire show that the storm has delayed train service considerably. About tight inches of snow fell in this city. It was during a blinding storm this afterISoon that the new Clyde line steamer Kiowa, inward-bound from Jacksonville, Fla. and Charleston, 9. C, was rammed And sunk by the steamer Admiral Dewey, e'f the United Fruit Company, outwardbound for Port Antonio, Jamaica, and Port Llmon, Costa Rica. Captain Chichester and the entire rrew of the Kiowa, numbering thirty men, were rescued by a tug. The Admiral Dewey suffered practically no damage and after laying to for the purpose of rendering possible assistance, she proceeded on her voyage. With, several passengers and a big general freight, the Admiral Dewey sailed from this city shortly after 12 noon. Owing to a terrific snowstorm the Dewey was making slow speed. A few miles Km -yond Boston light, the Kiowa appeared through the clouds of mist and snow, directly ahead. Before the course could be Shifted the steamers collided. The Admiral Dewey struck the Kiowa a powerful blow n the port side Just aft the main rigSins:, the sharp prow of the fruiter cutting in for a considerable distance. The damaged craft immediately commenced to till. The city of Boston's tug Cormorant, which was passing, ran alongside the Kiowa nd took off her captain and crew. This was a most difficult task, owing to the fceavy ea, and in attempting to jump from their own vessel to the tug some of the Kiowa's men fell into the water. They were rescued by th.- Cormorant's men and all hands were brought to this city. The Kiowa sank shortly after the accident. She bad a big cargo of lumber, cotton, naval stores. Iron aui general merchant I faM The Kiowa was a steel steamer of 2.953 gross tonnage and '.255 net, built in Philadelphia In 1903. She was 291 2 feet long. 43.1 feet beam and 20.6 feet depth of hold. She carried a crew of thirty-five men, and her engines were of 5.000 indicated horse-power. The Admiral Dewey was built in 1898 at Philadelphia. Her gross tonnage is 2,104, net 1,338.

Sick and in bed. huddling her seven children about her in an attempt to keep them warm in a room cold and bare and in a house devoid of food, while her husband was out sinking a good salary in drink, was the Christmas spent by Mrs. William A.

NEW YORK IN DARKNESS AND SHIPPING PERILED

NEW YORK. Dec 26. A driving snowstorm, accompanied by furious stiuulls that at times rose to almost hurricane force, struck the city early. Lowering black clouds pressed down on a bank of sea fog and the dense character of the snowfall combined to produce, for nearly half an hour, so deep a darkness that lights were lit in all the down-town streets and along the river fronts. During this period many ferryboats and other craft lost their bearing and the harbor resounded with the whistles of vessels cautiously groping their way through the gloom. n l.rooklyn boat, heading for the Manhattan side, found herelf off the Battery, several blocks away from her jdtp. ocean in .u.d ut were comieiled to stop and lie to until the darkness lifted. The ferryboat John G. Carlisle, carrying Immigrants from Ellis Island, crashed into the steamboat Tauras off the Battery, but both vessels escaped with slight damage. The darkness lifted almost as quickly as it settled down and the snow was succeeded by clearing skies, high gales and a rapidly falling temperature, the mercury golug down 15 degrees, from 14 to 19, within three hours. So fttroi was the gale during the afternoon that many pedestrians were thrown down and In some fnstunces were seriously injured. Around "Cape Flatiron.' at Broadway and Twenty-third street, the wind raged in guests of almost cyclonic fury. Here one man was dangerously hurt by being struck with a piece of a big plate-glass window blown out of an adjacent building. Toward evening the wind, which had at times attained a velocity of sixty miles an hour, died down, the mercury continuing to drop until at 10 o'clock It touched 7 degrees above sero with indications of still lower flgur--.-during the night. In all about a dozen persons were reported by the police to ha YS been injured by falls or flying pit ess ..f debris during the day. The total snowfall was only about half an Inch.

Gravelle denied having been at any Of the places where dynamite was exploded on the track, and said he was never in Livingstone, where the bridge was damaged, and gave a detailed account of his movemenu in August and September, testifying that when the explosions took place he was In the vicinity of Helena, 150 miles from the scene. He denied writing or sending any threatening letters to railroad officials, denied conversations with the witnesses who have testified to Gravelle's confession and also denied having sent any threatening letters out of the jail On cross-examination he stuck closely to his story and he so far avoided contradicting himself. The only p. ant brought out hy the State In his examination is that Gravelle. in his numerous alhgcd trips to the northern part of the State, did not ni t r talk to any one who (.add substantiate his story of a visit to that set thai Morn lew on the Warpath.

One week yesterday the local postofflce began receiving the heavy loads of the Christmas mail. It came with such a rush and in such quantities that the officials were at first staggered. In previous years the rush began two or three days before Christmas. Saturday before Christmas this year was considered a big day at the postoffice, as big as the days Just before Christmas, and the remarkable thing about the mail was that from the moment the avalanche began on Saturday It did not end until last night. For oue entire week the Christmas packages came in and passed out as never before in the history of the office. There is no doubt but that all former records for Christmas mail were broken this year.- Wednesday and Thursday were the largest days, and Asststatit Postmaster Shideler said that they were as big as any days in former years, while the mall received and sent out during the whole week was larger than ever before. In former years the rush did not open so early, and while big business was done on the days near Christmas, it did not keep up for one

entire week. Yesterday aud Friday were

almost as busy days as Wednesday and Thursday. In spite of the magnitude of the Christmas mail the pestoffice kept even with the tide. At 7 o'clock Christmas morning all packages that had arrived at the office were delivered by the carriers. Last night all incoming and outgoing mail had been cleared away from the oBos and the slate was wiped clean. The sale of stamps during the past week was enormous, eclipsing that of any preceding year. Between Monday morning and Thursday night the sale of stamps at the postofflce amounted to $14,150. No account was kept of the number of packages sent out from the office, but an estimate can be reached by an examination of the stamp sale. The average stamp sale on each package was 10 cents. This would make 141..t00 sept out from the local postoffice between the above mentioned days. The incoming mass of Christmas presents, Mr. Shideler said, was equally large.

FRANKLIN. Ind.. Dee. Itt. Dr. Uun Rltchey died at his home after being confined ti his bed for six months with tumorous growth. He was the oldest veterinary in this city.

WASHINGTON. Dec. 26. Five hundred children, youthful sons and daughters of members of the Cabinet, Senators. Representatives, army and navy officers, members of the diplomatic corps, assistant secretaries of departments and Washington newspaper corresoondents were the guests between 4 and 6:20 o'clock this afternoon of Mrs. Roosevelt at the White House. The reception began at 4 o'clock. Mrs. Roosevelt being assisted by the ladies of the Cabinet circle and Mrs. Loeb, Mrs. Cowles and Miss Hagner. The White House had been decorated beautifully for this Christmas party. Great palms and Christmas greens adorned the reception hall and parlors, the green being enlivened here and there with splashes of the flaming red of poinsetta bracts and American Beauty roses. The scene was rendered brilliant by hundreds of electric lights. The children were formed in lint in the east terrace. Thence they marched up the main staircase aud across tne reception hall to the entrance of the green room, where they were received by their hostess, quite as if they were grown-ups. Each child was introduced to Mrs. Roosevelt by Major Charles L. McCawley, of the marine oorps, and by her was given a cordial greeting. Each was then presented with a programme -and a souvenir of the party in the form of a badge bearing Mrs. Roosevelt's compliments and good wishes for the season. The little gutBts were conducted throught the green to the east room by officers of the army, navy and marine corps in full uniform and there seated. The entertainment began with a musical programme rendered by "Roney's Boys" Concert Company, of Chicago, with Henry B. Roncy as director. This part of the programme consumed nearly an hour, the children being enthusiastic in their mantle-station of commendation. Just before the first number on the musical programme was rendered. President Roosevelt entered the room, taking an inconspicuous seat near the green room entrance. He entered thoroughly Into the spirit of the occasion and enjoyed every minute of the entertainment. The Idea of the party, however, was wholly that of Mrs. Roosevelt and she worked out all of the details. Scores of the children were afforded an opportunity to greet the President and to wish him a "happy New Year." At the conclusion of the concert, the youthful guests were escorted to the state dining room to the music of the marine band, which was stationed In the reception hall. The dining room was handsomely decorated. On a table at the north end was a beautiful Christmas tree, loaded with favors ana lighted by scores of particolored electric lights. The great dining table was decorated with polnsettia bracts and holly and lighted by silver candelabra capped with Christmas red shades. It was heaped with all such Christmas goodies as appeal particularly to the heart of a child. The Ice cream was molded into the form of Santa Claus and pretty favors were provided for each guest. After the refreshments had been served, the young people returned to the east room. The older among them danced to the music of the marine band, while the younger ones played games in the parlor. The attentions shown the children by Mrs. Roosevelt and her assistants and by the numerous attendants were so delicate and graceful that the joy of not a single one was marred and all left the White House praising their thoughtful and considerate hostess.

TRIES TO LEVY ON WAGES OP BOSTONIANS' MANAGER

While Troop Plays "Robin Hood" Within Legal Proceedings Are Going on Without.

SUIT BROUGHT BY STEM

While the Rostonians were giving "Robin Hood" Ian night, at English's Opera House. Joe Dynes, deputy sheriff of Marion county, was reading a writ to William F. Leary, the treasurer of the Valentine Company, that holds the lease of the opera house, to garnishee the wages of Lauden G. Charlton, who Is the home manager of the Bostonians. The deputy sheriff then found Charles R. Bacon, the traveling manager of the Rostonians, and read the writ to him. John H. Stem, of this city, who has won a great deal of prominence by reason of bringing many people of great musical ability to this city, through his attorney. Charles O. Roemler, yesterday filed suit against Lauden G. Charlton, who has offices In Carnegie Hall, New York city. He al leged that he made a contract with Charlton whereby John S. Duss, the great musical director, and Lillian Nordica were to appear In concert in this city on the 6th of last October. Charlton was the manager of the Duss-Nordica tour, and agreed that Stem should receive a part of the gross receipts, on the night of the concert William Gavin, who was to receive Stem's portion of the money, was unable to be present, owing to illness, and it is charged that Charlton took the whole of the receipts and left the city. Stem states In his complaint that he had received a part of his receipts before the concert, but that there Is yet due him the sum of, $260. The Valentine Company and Bacon were made garnishee defendants for the purpose of getting hold of any money belonging to Charlton which was in their possession. Stem asked for a writ of attachment against Charlton, but when the deputy sheriff arrived at the opera house he found th.it Charlton held no stock In the Bostonians, but was merely a paid employe, and it was not necessary to serve the attachment writ. Charlton could not have been served in any event, however, as he is now in New York. The Valentine Company and Bacon have retained William W. Lowry. of this city, to defend them, and the money In the hands of the two garnishee defendants which is due Charltor will be held until the disposition of the case.

STATE BOARD MEMBERS TO SERVE ANOTHER YEAR

Gov. Durbin Reappoints Officers for Indiana Police and Other Institution Boards.

COLD WE A THER FORCES MAXY TO ASK CHARITY

Most Demands Made Are for Fuel, as Christmas Supplied Poor with Food and Clothes.

The present cold snap has been the cause of frequent calls by the poor of the city upon the charity organizations for fuel. The institutions have been able to satisfy all the demands that have been made upon them. Charles S. Grout, secretary of the Charity Organization Society, reported last night that the society had received a great many calls for fuel. He thought that the reason he did not receive many calls for food was due to the fact that the poor were well provided for on Christmas day and probably had enough provisions to las: them yesterday. At the Friendly Inn there UN also many demands for wood and coal, and the fuel was distributed as fast as the calls came in. There is still a large supply left. The Salvation Army and the Volunteers of America also gave valuable assistance to the destitute The superintendent of the Home Heating and Lighting Company said last night that his company had given better service to its patrons yesterday than it had given since the plant was started. Water at 205 and 210 degrees was driven through the company's mains and many of its patrons telephoned to the plant that the service was excellent. The Merchants' Heat and Light Company was also prepared for the cold snap, and its patrons found their buildings very comfortable all day. Both companies say that they will be able to serve their patrons satisfactorily during the entire winter unless some unforeseen accident happens.

Governor Durbin has reappointed the following members of police boards of the State: Elkhart, Francis K. Towsley; Hammond, William Pcpperdine; Jeffersonvllle, Horace Dunbar; Lafayette, Fred Meyer; Log-unsport. T. R. Sewall; Michigan City, John Dunlap; Muncie, William E. Hitchcock; Marlon. Claude N.

"KENTUCKY MUSH" FACTORY IS THE MOST NOVEL OF CITY S INDUSTRIES Cyrus Jackson Began with Wife's Kitchen Stove, Now Has Special Plant of His Own for the Business.

A factory for the making of corn-meal muh plain, old-fashioned mush, the kind like mother used to make is one of the novelties among Indianapolis industries. This factory turns out over a ton of mush every day and has a demand for more, but its capacity is equal to the task of turning out more It is the pioneer of its kind in this city and perhaps the only one of its kind in the country. .8even or eight years ago Cyrus W. Jackson, 10-M akland avenue, began to make mush over his wife's kitchen fire and to peddle it fr.nr. house to house. His wife anfl children aalped him in the making of the corn-meal prcduct. It struck the popular fancy and the mush business grew. year ug last summer Mr. Jackson built a little lact ry for his mush business in the rear of his house on Oakland avenue. In a year the industry outgrew the building, which was torn down to make room Lr a larger one The lnrner one is now too small for the mush business and will probably he added to next summer. Two men are employed by Mr. Jackson to aid him in the mi nutacture of mush and three others are employed to drive the Jackson delivery wagons. The "Kentucky Muah " Is made in two

large copper-bottcm vats or boilers and is run into cylindrical tin molds while still hot. After it has cooled it Is taken from the molds and wrapped In parafftne paper and an outer wrapper of manila paper. It Is then ready for the market. It Is not sold to the retail trade, but to meat markets, groceries and bakeries. When asked how the notion to manufacture mush ever entered his head Mr. Jackson said: "I was formerly a photographer, but was in poor health, and took up the peddling of inush as a manner of making a living at out-of-door work. The demand for the product seemed to grow and the business grew with it. I have changed the ingredients somewhat from the common mush that is ma e by the housewife, as I found that even in the making of mush there was room for improvement. I am PCm planning to take out several patents on my process and on the molds that we use." The mush business has but one disadvantage. It does not last all the year round, but runs through a season from September to May. Summer is not good mush time Each day of the season the "Kentucky Mush" factory turns out from ninety to 100 dosen molds. As each mold weighs about two and one-quarter pounds th" total daily product of this most novel of all Indianapolis factories Is about 2,700 pounds, or over a ton of mush per day.
