First Officer Tells Details of the Accident to the
Alexander. Propeller Drops off. Adamson, After
Adventures at Sea, Reaches Breakwater and Has-
tens to Washington.
J. Adamson, first officer of the United
States collier Alexander, who reached the
Delaware breakwater Sunday on the
steamship Adam Schley, bringing news of
the disabling of his vessel at sea, yesterday
told some of the details of the accident.
The Alexander is now drifting belpless-
ly on the ocean with the propeller disabled
and with a large erew on board. Adamson
has hastened to Washington with the in-
formation of the ship’s condition.
The collier was bound from San Juan for
Norfolk. On February 10th the propeller
worked loose and dropped from the shaft.
The position of the vessel at the time was
latitude 26.44, longitude 71.18, or four
hundred miles from Nassau, the nearest
port.
STARTS OUT FOR HELP.
Soon after the mishap First Officer
Adamson and four seamen left the disabled
craft in a small boat, with the iateation of
making Nassau, to seek as-<istance, but a
storm blew them far out of their course,
and two days later they were picked up by
the schooner D. H. Rivers, en route from
Port Spain to Savannah.
Anxious to reach some port from which
assistance could be sent as quickly as pos-
sible to the Alexander, a close watch was
kept for passing steamships, and when the
Schley hove in sight the following day
Adamson was transferred to her. The four
seamen remained on hoard the schooner.
When Adamson left the Alexander it was
drifting northwest, and making about two
and one-half knots.
COLLIER GOES ON SEARCH.
The Alexander is an English-built steam-
ship, having heen constructed at Stockton-
on-Tees in 1894. It bad put into San
Juan for coal while on her way from San
Francisco to Norfolk.
The collier Lebanon was sent out from
Norfolk in search of the Alexander as soon
as Adamson made known the facts in the
‘case to the Navy Department.
Cortelyou Named for Cabinet Office.
Nomination of New Secretary of Commerce and
Labor is Quickly Confirmed. Garfield Bureau
Chief.
WASHINGTON, Febuary 16.—The Presi-
dent nominated George B. Cortelyon to he
Secretary of Commerce and Labor this after-
noon and the Senate confirmed him with
no greater loss of time than needed to say
some good things regarding the new mem-
ber of the cabinet.
The President also selected to-day James
R. Gaifield, now a member of the Civil
Service Commission, to be Chief of the
Bureau of Corporations in the new depart-
ment.
Mr. Garfield’s nomination will probably
be sent to the Senate to-morrow.
Secretary Cortelyon will devote himself
for the next month to the organization of
his department. At present he has no
offices, but temporary ones will besupplied
as soon as the necessary appropriation can
be obtained from Congress.
The bureaus of the other departments
which are to be transferred to the Depart-
ment of Labor and Commerce. including
the Lahor Bureau, the Immigration Bar-
ean and several others now under the
Tieasury and Agricultural Departments,
will remain as they are until June 30th.
The Bureau of Corpoiations, which is an
entirely new institution, will be organized
immediately.
In selecting Mr. Garfield as the head of
own judgment and the recommendation of
his new Cabinet member, Mr. Cortelyou.
Mr. Garfield has proved himself a young
man of unusal ability and has impressed
the President with the idea that he will be
an excellent man to entrust with the inves-
tigation of the affairs of corporations. He
is a son of President Garfield.
Ithaca’s Typhotd Epidemic.
Three More Cornell Students Died Yesterday.
ITHACA, N. Y., Febuary 17.—Three
more deaths from typhoid fever ocourred
to-day of students of Cornell University.
They were Otto Wehls, of Rochester, N. Y.;
Henry A. Schoenborn, of Hackensack, N.
J., and Charles Schlenker, of Batavia, N. Y.
No deaths occnrred among the residents of
the town, although there are many critical
cases. Eleven physicians to-day reported
eight new cases and eight other cases sent
out of town.
President Schurman, when seen to-day
in regard to the typhoid fever situation,
said:
*“The number of new cases among stu-
dents has markedly declined during the
last few days. On the other hand, we are
now in the third week of the present epi-
demic and a large number of the first cases
are reaching the crisis. The number of
deaths this week is therefore likely to be
larger than heretofore.”
The Coruell authorities will install a fil-
tration plant at once costing $150,000.
Already eight hundred students of the
University bave gone to their homes.
Pratt Stays at Carlisle.
Retirement of Veteran From Army Does Not Mean
Leaving School.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 17.—Colonel Rich-
ard H. Pratt, Thirteen Cavalry, was to-day
placed on the retired list. Colonel Pratt
is best known as superintendent of the In-
dian School at Carlisle, Pa. He has been
in charge of that institution for more than
twenty years.
It is said at the War Department that
the retirement of Colonel Pratt does not
necessarily involve any chapge in the su-
perintendenc; of the Carlisle school. That
office is, filled by detail from the army,
aud there is no requirement that its incum-
bent shall be an officer on the active lis.
The detail is wholly within the discretion
of the President,

A SourcE OF TAXATION THAT HAs
BEEN OVER-LOOKED.—It is probable that
if those of our councilmen who have been
so anxious to 1ncrease the water taxes on a
few of our citizens had looked over the field
a little more carefully, they would have
discovered interests that have all along been
exemptffrom taxation and from which oth-
er municipalities have for years been receiv-
inga fair remuneration for the privileges
granted them.
The streets of Bellefonte are lined with
telephone and electric light poles. They
occupy space that the citizens are deprived
of and disficure the town in a way that no
individual tax-payer would be permitted
to do. The town, itself, and individual cit-
izens pay heavy tolls for what these corpo-
rations furnish, and why they should not
assist in defraying the expenses of a bor-
ough that has given them the privilege they
enjoy, is one of the things that thoughtful
councilmen should consider.
Other horoughs tax these corporations
just as they tax their citizens and why
Bellefonte should not do the same is left for
those in authority to say.
For some years it has been a question
whether a borough has a right to tax tele-
phone,electric light, street railway and oth-
er corporations for the poles and wires they
erect within the municipal limits. A de-
cision of the Supreme court, in a Bedford
county case, has settled this however :
This contention began in 1898 when the
borough of Bedford passed an ordinance
imposing license fees of $1 per pole and 50
cents upon each mile of wire maintained
by all electric light, telegraph and tele-
phone companies within the limits of that
borough. The payment of these fees was
resisted by the several companies and suits
were brought and the companies compelled
to pay but have been paying under protest
during the past few years, hoping that a
case might be secured in which the courts
would declare ordinances of like nature
void. Under the provisions of this ordi-
nance the people of the borough of Bedford
have secured $400 and $500 each from a
source from which they had never secured
anything.
The borough of Man’s Choice in October,
1900, had an ordinance prepared and it was
passed by council imposing a license fee of
$1 a pole and 50 cents for each mile of wire
upon the various companies maintaining
telegraph, telephone and electric light
poles and wires within the limits of the bor-
ough and providing for a system of inspeo-
tion on the part of the authorities and an
additional proviso that upon the neglect or
refusal of the company to pay the fees when
the same became due and payable that the
said companies made themselves liable to
pay a penalty of $1 per pole.
It was tiiis action which was attacked by
the Western Union Telegraph company and
payment of the license fees wae refused.
Sait was then brought, from this judgment
an appeal was taken and the case was tried
in the courts of Bedford county, January
28th last and after hearing the case his hon-
or, Judge Bailey, took the case from the
jury and directed a verdict for the amount
of the license fees and penalty, amounting
to $91. From this judgment an appeal was
taken to the superior court by the defend-
ant company. The position was taken that
the ordinance was void for the reason that
the license fee was excessive and unreason-
able, and that if the ordinance in this case
would be sustained that the license fee
would exceed several millions of dollars,
and that the ordinance was in violation of
the inter-state commerce law and therefore
void.
