FELL THROUGH HOLE IN ICE.
Two People Meet Death in the Icy
Waters of the 500.

SAULT STE. MARIE, Mich, April 8.
Frank Daigle and James Poppas are
supposed to have been drowned off
Pointe aux Pins, by falling through the
ace. A searching party has left for
the scene, but nothing has been heard
so far. Daigle and Poppas left the 500
with a dog team to go over the ice to
Gross cape, where they lived as fisher
men.
George Daigle, a brother of one of
the missing men, brought the story to
the 500, and says the people of Pointe
aux Pins heard shouting in the night.
The next morning they found a team
standing near a hole in the ice. Frank
Daigle was 80 and unmarried. Pop
pas was a Greek, and formerly engag-
ed in the mercantile business in the
Canadian 500.

Taft's Guests in the PHILIPPINES

WASHINGTON, April 7.-Secretary
Taft in making UP his party to visit
the Philippines this summer, was very
cereful to select men of both parties,
and men who hold all manner of views
with regard to the Philippines. He
will be accompanied by eXcursionists,
by anti-expansionists, by men VINO
advocate temporary control of the is
lands, and by men VINO advocate their
immediate liberation. There are DEM
iocrats and epublicans-radicals, as
we'll as conservatives, of both parties.
By showing all these pepo1e the con-
ditions that prevail in the Philippines,
and by impressing upon them the i'm
provements that have been made under
American rule, the secretary hopes to
convert the anti-expansionists to the
administration idea, and to satisfy
those who nave upheld the Philippine
policy that they have done the proper
thing. Then, too, Secretary Taft be-
lieves that men who really understand
conditions in the Philippines will be
ready to grant these islands free trade
or nearly free trade with this country.
1t is impossible to take the entire SEN
ate and the entire house, but represen-
tative men from each body have been
chosen, and much good is expected of
the visit. True, the Philippine gov
eminent will foot some of the bills,
but if the senators and representatives
go about with their eyes open, it is ex-
repaid for the expense.

York that Abe can find backing for
five times this amount that he can

SPOR rs


BALTIMORE, April Sal Herforl
and his lightweight champion of the
world, Joe Cans, have returned home
from San Francisco, and one of the
first things Al had to say was that he
is not Young Corbett's manager, add
ing: Il don't want to manage a beaten
man."
Herford said that Corbett had start
ed east with him and Cans, but had
stopped off at Denver to see the home
folks.
'Corbett," continued AL, "is a good
boxer, but without doubt the LATEST
man that ever happened. He is actu-
ally a 126-pounder. He weighed but
1913 when he fought Nelson When in
condition Nelson, on the contrary, is
a lightweight. Nelson's best condition
is when he weighs 1873 pounds, and at
that weight he would be hard for any
man to whip
Herford is a bland talker, but be-
tween the lines of his conversation it
could be read that he believes he has
some sort of an arrangement for a
bout between Joe Cans and Battling
Nelson in San Francisco. He thinks
Britt is afraid to meet Nelson again,
but HEREFORD said that his offer for a
$4,000 purse and a $4,000 bet on the
Joe Cans and Britt or Nelson is still
good.

philadelphia jack O'Brien is an
other of the modern school Of fighters
like Jimmy Britt. O'Brien possesses
everything that goes to make up a
worlds champion pugilist, except prob
ably a knockout wal1op in either hand.
He is a great general and has a jaw
that is harder to reach than any fight
err of today. In most of his battles he
follows much the same method, of at
tack as Britt, and this really accounts
for him many limit battles and few
knockouts.
He is opposite to the slugger. He
does not administer the knockout pill
very often, but if you will look up his
record you will find that his opponent
generally has very busy time finding
where his tender spot is. In fact, there
has not been a time in his recent bat
ties when an opponent was able to
land a blow that had enough steam be-
mind it, to make O'Brien vince. He
is as strong at the end of fight as
at the beginning, and to finish weaker
than his opponent is almost unknown
to him.

was recently under discussion.
Senator Henry M. Teller of Col

to Senator Mitchell of Oregon,
deceased:
against the sworn testimony
of confessed perjurers and forgers
and bribers and thieves ! will put,
when it comes to make up my
judgement, his long years of hon
est service in this body. | will
put against it the fact that this
man, with unnumbered opportun-
! tiles to create for himself wealth,
l went down to the grave practically
a pauper. 1t will need more than
the testimony of any se~lf-convict-
ed thief and forger to convince
me that the dead senator from
Oregon was a vicious criminal at
the time of his death or at any
time in his history in this ser
vice."-Laramie Republican.

BEWARE OF THE ICE ON THE RIVER

Parents should be very cautious
about letting their little ones go
to the river to skate at this time
of the year. There never has
been a serious accident on the
river as yet, but the day is coming
when we are all going to be very
much shocked and grieved over
the death by drowning of some
little one, unless great caution is
used in v%enturing on the ice
Parents should not allow their
children to go on the ice alone.
They should always be accompan-
led by some reliable person, or
older child, who is capable of act
ing for them in case of an emer-
gency. If some of the little tots

break thru the ice there would be
no help for them-they would in
evitably drown.
