THEIR ESCAPE MIRACULOUS Master and Owner All But Drowned When Standing by the Boat -On Their Return Home Loss of Craft,' ' (Special Star Telegram.) New York Jan. 2.; Capt. John W. Harper, Mate Thomas Hickman, Pilot James A. Williams, Engineer Samuel Watts and four negroes of the small river steamer Madeleine, plying on the Cape Fear river, North Carolina, arriv ed here today on the steamer City of Montgomery. They had been picked up at sea after a 60-hour battle .with the severe .storm which swept the South Atlantic coast early this week. "It was the most frightful exper ience of my life," said Capt Harper. The Madeleine, a 75-foot river steam er, left Southport at the mouth of-the Cape Fear river, Sunday morning last, bound for Newbern, 85 mites along the coast, ior repairs. For 24 Hours the weather was fairly moderate, but at. 9 o'clock Monday morning, off , Beaufort, the entrance of the little river leading to MewDern, it began to blow: r:ig seas swept up, flooded the ves sel and got into the boiler room. See ing their predicament, Capt Harper tried to send ashore for assistance, but found that the boats could not be lowered. Their sigmjls ' were not ob served. All day they tossed and at midnight a fierce gale began to blow in from the northwest,' accompanied by icy rain squalls Fearful of being driven in to shore, Capt. Harper played out 30 fathoms of anchor chain-and made another un; successful effort td lower the two life boats. . At dawn Tuesday the anchor cnain snapped and the Jittl0 boat be gan to' dnft,3rf:.-:4ilrt:" Drag-anchors weivf made of Hhe pumps, the wlndlas and ' deck , mate r:al. Giant waves poured, over the boat with such fierceness that' the men dared not ,yentiire on deck. The hold was filling with water, and all the fires were out.. The smokestack was car rled away, the guys snapping like whipcord. In a temporary lull, Capt. Harper lowered the two lifeboats on the leeward side, only to have one break away and the other to begin s nashing.against the side of the Made leine. r : , ; 'A big wave swept Capt.' Harper ov e -board. He sank twice. . Four or five lines failed to reach him. The second time he came up under the screw, which he tried to grasp. His. hands and body were fearfully cut. A sixth n. .j w i. m i.ti; line reached him. Numb with cold. h3 drew himself to the guardrail and as hauled over. by th crew,- , The fresh fury of the storm began filling the steamer with water faster than the pumps could pump It out. The men abandoned the pumps and took to pans and buckets. - There was n ) time to stop to eat and nothing to eit if there had been time. ..The fresh w ater was already exhausted, . ' and there was hot asprk of. heat.onl board. : - ' At 9 o'clock Wednesday morning, j w hen every man on board had almost siven up hope, the schooner Rebecca H. Douglas was sighted. -The, gale had blown her out of her course. For a ( oiiple of hours she stood up, and then, in another lull, sent over her -big .-life boat and took off the eight fainting men. The Douglas was in 'command of Capt. E. K. Spencer. , "He did everything for us," declared Capt. Harper. ' "We were all on tba verge of collapse, but hot coffee, food, and warmth brought us around. It was a rescue from the Jaws of death." The Douglas was bound from Georgetown to New. Haven, and the rescue took place about off Cape Look out light. Five hours later the City of Montgomery Vas sighted, s jack down, and fresh signals of distress brought her alongside. When ' Capt. Trg. of the City of Montgomery, heard the story . he 'willingly tran shippped the wrecked mariners and brought them Into port. ; ; '". The Madeleine, Capt. Harper says, was worth $7,500.; He was her owner. He lives in Wilmington, N. C. where he has a wife and six children.

Washington Jan. 12. -Senator Lor- Imer,, of Illinois, continuing his testi mony today before the Senate investi gating committee, undertook to ex plain the individual : motives which caused "108 members of the Illinois Legislature tQ cast their ballots, for him. 1 The aggregate of his recital was leng story of boyhood friendships grown to powerful Influence in party councils and political ' alliances ' which had their inception with the frolick ing of children at play in the streets of Chicago. "I've known that man all my life, pruuauiy since iwas tea years uiu, and he had gone through some hard kaocks himself and felt as if he want T V. 1 J T a .1 J . ' ed to help some one else who had been through it too." was one of the' an swers he frequently gave. Some or his explanations were homely stories of his political life 30 years ago before he became a Nation al figure. " How did 'Manny' Abrahams come to vote for" you?" was asked. Abra hams Is a - Democrat and was called the -bell , wether because he led the voting on the roll call. . Why, many years ago he was just beginning to be a leader among his people in Chicago," responded the Sen ator, 'and many of them coming as mmigrants tried to make a living ped dling ohvthe streets. The license fee was $5-a lot of money for a poor man n a Btrange country ind ne used to come to my . house at night and ask meto help them. So I used to "feet 1-permita. f or - them to peddle, j9tt th?X ttradeTntmey enougfrw get out licens es. ' That was the start of cur frlend- shipr : ""How did Jandus come to voxcior you?" " jandus was another DemocraL i'l had done him many little iavors; remember having got a job or so .for a poor friend of his. I suppose in my political life I have secured jobs for 6,000 or 8,000 men, but". I don t remem ber all those little things." What . about Broderick?'. Why . John I've - known John 15 years and all his friends are friends of : my friends. He s been very Kino to me. Whenever I had a contest he would go and see some of his people, He was always friendly to ' me." What about Holtslaw?" He was al leged to have made a, confession that he received money to vote tor Lori- mer. ' "The first I remember of him was before ' my election. He came and asked me if I would., pe opposed to a postmaster who was a saloon keeper. I told him I didn't think a man's busi ness made any difference if he had a good' character and would make a good postmaster.. He went away saying 'You have the reputation of. standing by your friends, and I'm going to vote for you'.' ..;.';, , "r ' .'. . la explaining the, votes or others, often he would say; . ' "He lived in my .neighborhood and sometimes -I may have done an . unim portant favor for him." or "we worked together in politics for 30 years and our personal friendship was stronger than my party 'tie. - .... . . The votes of other men Senator. Lorlmer explained by saying' they were unalterably , opposed to Hopkins, were anxious to break the deadlock, and get home, had received favorable recommendation of Lorlmer. from con stituents, or they were anxious to give him some substantial reward for his work in behalf of the proposed "lakes to the. gulf" waterway. The : Senator ,made a dramatic de nial of any knowledge of corruption in connection with bis election and in an equally dramatic way charged that Governor Deneen and the Chicago Tri bune were forwarding a. conspiracy to drive him from the Senate. "I anv'sure as I am that I'm here," he charged, "tljat the Tribune bought the . evidence wnicn it used against iLe' ONeill Browne in the bribery trials and that it -was' only Incidental ly prosecuting urowne to iorm;tne oa sis of a case to try and put me out of the' Senate.

"Do you. think, Governor Deneeh is still in the conspiracy . against: you?" . I certainly do," replied Liorimer. "You say these things, having in mind the -confessions of ; Holtslaw, Breckmeyer and Link?" "Yes. - The whole machinery of the State attorney's office was used against me to get those alleged confes sions, -v Lank and Holtslaw were In dieted for offenses which were not' In dictable at all: They were told they would be ent to the penitentiary and away from their wives and children, and, ; after they signed : statements which attorneys in the employ of my enemies prepared, the indictments against them were quashed."- : x I The hearing was adjourned until Monday.-- . ... ,' '.:, SATUBBAY MORKOrG, TO CELEBRATE Plans Proposed for Celebration of the Battle of Gettysburg arid .rec-" ; ' tlon of , a Great Peace? - ; Memorial. - ; - Washington, ' Jan. 12. -The move ment for a fitting celebration In 1913, of the 50th anniversary of the battle of Gettysburg, took definite form. to day when the Pennsylvania commis sion having the matter in charge ap peared before the joint Congressional committee and made public Its plans. n is proposea to nave me celebra tion extended over the- first four days of July and the most iuroortant fea. ture will be the laying of : the corner stone or a great peace memorial to be erected by the Nation at the entrance to the battlefields , A : bill will be 'in troduced in Congress anoroDriatine $500,000 for thtrpurpose and the Pres ident of the .United States will - be in vited to preside at the ceremony.

Y Mr. Carnegie was subjected during the examination to a fire of questions wnicn put mm on his mettle. Chair man Stanley elicited from, him an at tack on stock jobbing that probably ' will influence legislation to be propos ed by the committee and Representa tive McGiiiicuddy, of Maine, took the iron master over some -political jumps that. were altogether unexpected. . "Mr. Carnegie," - asked Chairman Stanley, "in the organization of the Carnegie Steel Company, of New Jer sey, why did you divide your stock In toVf 1.000 shares T" v : - To keep , them off the stock ex-; change," was Mr. Carnegie's quick re ply.- : .. r ..V .;' . "Why did you want to keep them off the stock exchange?-; 'h v.- ' Because I did . notbfilleve in .stock ' jobbing..

"never bought, long nf r sold- short, .'.. : , . ' ' Chairman- Stanley, producing an o'd document, read from a statement made byiMr,-Carnfegle. many years ago In' which, the. Iron master aaid: "Stock ' gamble are parasites feeding on val ues and creating none." Are you still of that opinion?'' he asked. y ' Mr. Stanley, the other day you re ferred to something I had said about competition and you said you would like to have it engraved f a memo-, rial tablet" Mr. Carnegie answered. T. wish you, would take the. quotation you have Just read,, engrave .it on a tablet and put in the stock exchange." Do you believe that a corporation should by law be given the . right to buy and sell Us own 'stock on the stock exchange?" , . . "That Is a new question," Mr, Car negie answered, 'hesitatingly. "I've never heard It raised before. I would like to think that over find write you a note of my views." Representative McGiiiicuddy, some what confused Mr.' Carnegie with , a fire pf 'questions seeking to show that a plan i was formulated' to' organize the United States Steel Corporation be- , fore Mr.' McKInley was elected PresI- cent' Ih 1900 and that the deal was consummated soon, after bis election. He brought out the tact that Carnegie had told McKInley to have nothing to do with Imperialism or the acquisition of the Philippines.' 1 '.'"" 4 "Were there any negotiations be-: tween you and J. Pierpoht Morgan prior ta 190? regarding the. formation of the Steel Corporation?" asked Mr. McGiiiicuddy. . ; ' 'T never . heard of any until Mr. Schwab came to me in 1901 with Mr. ' Morgan's offer to buy my property," -Mr. Carnegif , answered. : 1 -" ' "Were there not some negotiations as early as'1900?" c . , . "I never: heard of any." : "In 1900 - were you not very much " opposed to the policy of Imperialism?" -"Yes, I was and .1 asked. Mr, McKln ley not to have anything to do with It. I was opposed to the acquisition of the Philippines." '' -' ?s '' - .- ' "Is ' it not ' also, true that early in 1900 you' were oposed to William Mc KInley for President?'.' y, i "No," Mr. Carnegie r replied, giving evidence of confusioh. ' "I do not know of anything . that ." would have made me opposed to Mn'McKihley."' -.- "Is' It 'not a fact that in January, 190O you attended a aneetihg of anU " ' ' imperialists at whlcb you pledged ., yourself to contribute- $25,000 to pre vent the f nomination and re-election of William McKJnleylf they would raise a iike amount?"
