LUMBER LOST
AT SEA
«V The tug Pioneer, towing the barge
Washington, from Port Blakely,
Wash., to Cordova, ran into a south
east gale thirteen n^les north east by
east of Cape St. Elias yesterday morn
ing. The storm became so severe
that at 10 o’clock the men were taken
off the barge and at 3:30 in the after
noon the tug cut loose from the barge,
and the latter was cast adrift.
The Pioneer was in command of
(’apt. Deaton, who felt that in order
to save the Jives of the crew it was
necessary to abadnon the barge, which
was loaded with a million feet of lum
ber for the Copper River & North
western railway. This lumber was
to be used for snow-sheds, bridges and
houses, and its non-arrival will delay
some of the work planned by the com
pany. The loss is estimated at from
$120,000 to $130,000.

Special to The Times By Associated Press.
PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 11—The second game in the
world’s series baseball encounters, was one of thrilling mo
ments, and the outcome was in doubt unil the last, the Ked
Sox shoving over the wining run in their half of the ninth.
Phe presence of the president and his fiancee at the ball park
added to the interest of the day, and the notables received an
jvation from the assembalge both when they entered the en
closure and when they departed. President Wilson and Mrs.
rii.lt remained the full nine innings and displayed great interest
in the battle, both of them becoming frequently enthused over
the brilliant moments of the play. Wilson rooted impartially
['or both sides, and laughingly remarked that he was preserving
the neutrality of the nation in the contest.
The feature of the playing was the pitching of George
Poster for the American League champions. The Phillies
walked up to the plate in inning after inning and ignominiously
returned to the bench, unable to connect safely with the wonder
fnllv lmrliny.nf Boston’s nremier Ditcher.. To car* the climax,
Foster, who is one of the best hitting pitchers in either league,
won his game by driving in the winning run in the ninth, with
a screaming single to center field. Mayor, who pitched for the
Phillies was hit hard, but pitched a heady game, and kept the
enemy’s hits -well scattered', tightening up in the pinches.
Boston’s two runs were scored by Harry Hooper and Larry
Gardner. “Grabby” Cravath, who with Alexander is depend
ed upon to win the series for the Phillie, scored the home team’s
lone tally.
The attendance was a trifle larger than on the first day,
there being 20,306 paid admissions, totalling fifty-two thousand
dollars. Both teams left here for Boston Saturday night,
where tin* third game of the series will be played today. I he
teams will battle at the new field of the Braves, which lias a
seating capacity of 45,000, and is the biggest and best ball park
in the country. The National league club offered their grounds
to the American league champions in return for the latter s
courtesy in allowing the Braves to use Fenway park when the
national league grounds were burned out last year.

THE ROOT OF CRIME
—
OAKLAND, Cal., Oct. 11—To prevent crime, stop the pro-,
duction of criminals and abolish prisons were given as the final1
objects of Prison Reform in an address which Joseph B. Byers, j
of Philadelphia, president of the American Prison Association,!
delivered at the opening of the convention of the organization!
here Saturday.
“The causes of crime lit- outside our penal and correctional
institutions,” he said'. “Just as boils on the body are indica
tions of disorders in the blood, so are these institutions syrap
tons of disease in the body of politic. <)ur prisons and reform
atories are, if you please, hospitals for the care and treatment
of those who through criminal conduct have shown symptoms of
criminal character.
“But symptoms are good only for diagnosis .If stopped here
we shall never effect a cure. We shall have to go on passing
new laws and devising new penalties as long as we shut our eyes
to the causes that make laws and penalties and institutions
necessary. The causes of crime exist, for the most part, out
side these institutions and it is on the outside that we must
I apply the real remedies.”

necessity of calling on men of military age, the French govern

tres and Toulouse. Results exceeded expectations and a seconc
batch of 600 were sent to France. They will be followed by 4,
000 others and soon the number of native workers will exceed

KEEL SLIGHTLY
' I
The steamer Northwestern arrived
in port at 7 o'clock Sunday evening,
after an exciting experience in com
ing north. On Tuesday morning last
at 2:15 o'clock she struck a rock off
Potters Buoy reef, on Pinnock island,
two miles south of Ketchikan. The
vessel struck at halftide and three
hours later listed to port twenty de
grees and at 9:55 that morning she
proceeded on her way.
The Northwestern ran into a heavy
fog just before 2 a. m., and as the
density of the fog increased Captain
J. C. Hunter, who wag on the bridge
with Pilot Lindstrom, stopped the en
gines. The fog prevented the view of
the lights on shore. As the vessel
drifted, Captain Hunter sighted the
land of Pinnock Island, about 600 feet
straight ahead. The engines were re
versed, with the result the trig vesssl
backed onto the rock of Potter s Buoy
Reef, at the hour stated.
At 4 a. m., the steamship Dolphin,
of the same line, passed to the star
board. The Northwestern, it had
been discovered meanwhile, was in
no danger from the contact and the
Dolphin proceeded to Ketchikan.
A diver made an examination of the
Northwestern at Ketchikan and found
that her keel was slightly damaged,
but otherwise she was unhurt.
The Cordova passengers aboard the
^Northwestern were Mrs. A. Fields, S.

OWNERS OF flNCHQRftSE
BUND PIGS INDICTED
For some time past it has been gen"
erally known that Anchorage has been
run wide-open, although no liquor
licenses have been granted for that
camp. Numerous small shops were
doing business ostonsibjy as cigar
1 and soft drink stands, while in reality
there were conducted as “blind pigs.”
In fact conditions over there became
so notorious that the federal officials
were forced to take conizance of
them. As a result a number of secret
indictments were returned by the
grand jury and a raft of people are
now in the Anchorage Jail awaiting
' trial at the Seward term of court,
charged with selling liquor without a
license. It is reported that two or
three former Cordovans are among
those under arrest.
