R00SEVELT'S RIDE
WAS NEARLY FATAL
President Thrown From His
Horse and Lay Uncon-
scious on the Ground
BY Publishers Press.

Washington, Nov a. President
Roosevelt had an escape from death
so narrow that fl was almost miracu-
lous by being thrown from his horse
while he was riding through the coun-
try near Washington week ago last
Sunday afternoon.
The methods by which news is sup
pressed at the White House are so
efficient that the accident did not be-
come known until yesterday.
The President was approaching a
high fence az top speed when his horse
stumbled and fell, throwing Mr.. Roose-
velt off forward. He struck squarely
on his head, and was so severely
stunned that ne was unconscious for
some time, just how long he does not
know, as he was riding entirely alone.
When he regained his senses he found
his horse standing near him.
The President tried to mount fi.muvb
The President tried to mount, but
was so dazed from the shock that he
could not stand. II was some time
before he regained full control Of his
legs and arms. He then remounted
and rode at a slow pace 10 the point
where his orderly was waiting for him.
BY that time there was a great lump
on the right side of the Presidents head
and blood was trickling from a long
but shallow scalp wound above the
right ear. where his head had struck a
stone blancing blow. The cut extend
ed down onto the forehead and the evil
dences Of it still are there.

Port Arthur is doomed.
ChefoO has received information, the
reliability of which is beyond question,
that the Japanese now occupy positions
which place the east side Of the town at
their mercy.
The last assault has gained for them
positions which insure their ability to
enter the main east forts whenever they
are ready
1t is calculated by the japanese that
II the Russians do not surrender they
will be capable OF prolonging their final
stand at Liaoti Mountain and on the
Tigers Tail for "A much longer time
with the mere hope OF prolonging the
struggle. Long before the second Pa
cihc squadron arrives the japanese flag
win wave over the wrecked citadel.
This will end Niceroy Alexieff's s dream
of an unconquerable city.
The japanese have not occupied the
main forts and highest points of the
hills. but they occupy I'm overwhelming
numbers positions which viii enable
them TO drive the Russians back when
ever they desire.
When the japanese occupy the east
port ridge they viii completely domi-

A censored dispatch from a corre-
spondent with the Japanese army does
not give any particulars of a general
engagement going on at Port Arthur

that some forts were captured.

work last evening.
Prior to the temporary closing down
.of the plant some time ago these men
received for their work from 1914 70 II
cents per hour. When the shops re-
sumed operation a few weeks back the
men claim that they went back with
the understanding that they would re-
'ceive temporarily but sixteen cents per
hour but that later they would be re-
turned to their old scale.
After waiting for what they believed
to be a reasonable length OF time the
company was requested to restore them
to their former scale and the company
promised TO do SO as soon as possible
but so far nothing has been done IN
that direction Yesterday the men
lagain approached the officials OF the
company on the same subject and as
nothing definite was promised they
quit work.
The work of this class OF employees Is
said to be particularly trying. When
