CHANCE
BY SUSIE NJ, BEST

Not all the ships that skim the main
May circle back to port again
Sooth sometimes they that seem most
brave
Find in the utmost deep grave
Not all the buds upon the tree
May full fruition hope to see,
The one that promises most fair
The nip OF blight may soonest wear.
Not unto every soul indeed
The yictor's trophies are decreed,
Some hearts that seem exempt from loss.
May bear mp Calvary, cross

HYDE Is COMING BACK
Chief Statistician's Testimony Is
Badly Needed by a Federal
Grand Jury.

Washington Aug. I'm answer to a
cablegram to John Hyde, former chief
statistician of the department of agri-
culture, urging him to return to this
country, Secretary Wilson today re-
ceived the following dispatch from Mr.
Hyde:
Southport, Eng, Aug. 2. 19O5.-Re-
turning as soon as possible. Letter"
Mr.. Hyde left Washington about the
time the special grand jury was con-
Vened to investigate charges of leak
age in the bureau OF statistics by which
it is alleged that Edwin f. Holmes. the
former associate statistician furnished
advance information of the depart
ment's figures on the cotton crop to
New York brokers. When Mr. Hyde
resigned as chief of the bureau ne
agreed to hold himself ready to aid the
department of justice in the investiga-
ton it is making. He took pasSa ge
for Europe a few days later and his
departure was not learned until he was
beyond the jurisdiction of federal au-
thorities, who wanted him as witness
before the grand jury.

MAY NEED GRAND JURY
Jerome Wants Searching Investiga-
ton Into the Affairs of the
Eouifahle

New York, Aug. 2.-District Attorney
Jerome told Justice Davy, in the
criminal branch of the New York state
supreme court today that he might
need d special grand jury to investigate
the Equitable Life Assurance society's
affairs before the legislative commit
tee has finished investigation of life in
surance conditions, which is soon to be
gin. The court has been kept sitting
to await possible action by MIR. Jerome
He informed it today that he was not
certain whether he would want the
for it now, but requested the court to
adjourn to September II, which it did
In the meantime, he said. any Justice
Of the court could grant the order for
a special jury.
In making the request for an ad-
Journment Mr.. jerome said
As q result of the Investigations of
the state superintendent of insurance
of the Equitable company / have dis
covered in the investigation an extra
ordinary condition of affairs which af-
fects not only this country, but all
parts of the world. Transactions have
been of such a character that they
require investigation by the district at
torney of this county. The state super
intendent of insurance is not a prose
cutting officer and the investigation he
cOducted was not with a view of find
ing whether the company had con-
Quoted its business in a criminal man.

MONUMENT TO SAILORS
Shaft in Memory of the Victims of
the Bennington Will Be

Sam Diego, Cal, Aug. 2.-As soon as the
extent Of the disaster on the gunboat Ben
nington was known TO the local public,
il was proposed that funds be raised
by popular subscription for the purpose
of erecting a shaft in the little military
cemetery to commemorate the event of
which the Bennington boys. whose bodies
were buried there. lost their lives The
announcement of the proposal was fol-
lowed by the gift of many small sums
of money, which now amount to a little
over thousand dollars Ii is now stated
by Captain F. j. Drake of the Mare Is
land navy yard that there is practically
no doubt that the government will erect
a fine shaft at the military cemetery,
Point Iona. in memory of the dead sea-
of stone bearing bronze plates inscribed
with the names of the dead sailors.
In view of this it has been decidd TO en-
large the scope of the popular proposal
and endeaVOr to secure sufficient funds
TO build and equip a club house which
shall offer to sailors on shore social
rendezvous without the kind of allure
ments found in the resorts often fire.
Quented by mariners An organization
has been effected consisting of the fol-
lowing officers:
President Colonel r. g Dodge; vice
president. Roscoe Howard; Secretary, J.
Clyde Hizar: treasurer. L. j. Wilde. II is
hoped to raise $4,000 for the object in
view.

Assailed Him With Clubs
Saved by Police.

New York, Aug. "A 6-year-old girl
was run down and probably fatally hurt
last night in Brooklyn by a large au-
tomobile. A mob attacked the chauffeur.
Nils BroIin, who was saved from serious
injury by a policeman
The child was at play in the street
with her mother and did not see the
automobile approaching. Brolin tried TO
stop the machine when he saw the child
bewildered and hesitated in which
direction to fly. He threw on all of his
brakes and the motor stopped after one
wheel had passed over the body of the
child Brolin jumped from the machine
and FASTENED to phone. where he called
for an ambulance. Upon his return 10
the automobile he found a threatening
crowd surrounding two friends whom he
had in the machine. Women with clubs
struck at him and men threw stones IN
til the policeman arrived.
The mother took the insensible body
in her arms and, refusing to let the am
bulance doctors touch her, carried the
child half a mile to the hospital.

MET TWO MISHAPS.
Steamship Minneapolis Loses One
Propeller Blade.

New York, Aug. 1.-TWO collisions at
sea, one of which snapped a pro-
peller blade, were reported by the
steamship Minneapolis, which arrived
today from London. The first misha p
occurred in a perilOus point made
around the Minneapolis by another
liner, a tramp ship. and a fishing smack
Saturday, July %, in the English chan
mel Her commander, Captain Thomas
r. Gates, said that his steamer was
wedged so tightly in the trap that his
only chance was which of the other
ships to run down. He chose the fish
ing smack as the least dangerous. and
struck this boat d glancing blow which
carried away parts of her rigging, but
did no other serious damage.
Two days later Captain Gates believes
the Minneapolis ran over a fragment Of
a submarine wreck. Early Monday
morning while the passengers were
asleep the steamer shiVered as from
shock against her hull. and one blade
of the propeller snapped off. Pas
sengerS were awakened and ran on
deck i'm alarm and the steamer came to
a stop. After short delay, however. she
proceeded on her way

DIFFICULTIES ARE ENDED.
Terminal Dispute Between San Pedro
and Southern Pacific in Cali
fornia Is Settled.
Especial to The Herald.)

San Francisco. Aug. 2-The difficulty
over terminals between the Southern Pa
cific and Senator Clark's San Pedro rail
road in southern California has been set
tied on a basis entirely satisfactory to
the Clark officials. When the San Pedro
opened its lines for through traffic the
Southern Pacific and Santa Te refused
to accord the Clark line the same facilities
for switching and terminal deliveries that
they granted each other After much
discussion by minor officials the matter
went up to Senator Clark and r. II. Har-
riman. and after consideration by the
executive committee was referred to a
meeting OF traffic men and high officials
of the interested lines. with the under
standing that the Clark road would be
given the privileges it demanded. The
settlement OF today is the result. and the
San Pedro is in a position to receive and
deliver transcontinental freight on a
competitive basis without having to build
parallel terminal tracks and sidings into
the various southern California towns
where it lacked these facilities.

the International union and other labor
organizations"
A statement was made in behalf of
the American Bridge company which
says:
I'VE have not been officially informed
about the trouble in New Haven. but
we have the right to sublet our work,
and have no right to impose conditions
on the sub-contrators further than a
guarantee that they must do the work
properly We have an agreement with
the unions and employ only union men
when we do the work directly, but in
subletting work we can only choose the
lowest bidder, if it is a responsible
firm. If the union can convince a sub
contractor that it is for his best ad-
vantage to employ only union men,
that is a question between the union
and him."
