Document
IN Associated Press.

WASHINGTON, Nov 9.-While Sec
retary Taft Is away officials of the
war department are preparing data
for his annual report to congress. 1t
has not been determined whether the
report will embrace the Panama canal
but It is supposed that the canal will
be considered in a separate document.
1t was the intention of Secretary Taft
when he left for the isthmus to devote
as much time as possible to the prep
aration of his report and said that he
would also put in form such views as
he wished to express regarding the
canal. AS to army matters it is known
that the secretary does not intend to
make very many recommendations, but
he will strongly renew his recon-
mendation for an increase of the medi-
cal corps and for legislation which will
increase the efficiency of the ordnance
corps, which is now short of officials.
Various recommendations have been
made by several officers for increases
in the army.

gether, the engineers and firemen

pact showed the heavy freight train
forward a distance of 100 yards, tele-
scoping the tenders and cabs of the
three locomotives. A refrigerator car
in the passenger train was telescoped,
but the coaches were only slightly dam

were caused by being thrown against
seats and to the floor.
