She knew that Caesar" Young was mar
ried. He had told her so the moment he
met her on the train going to San Fran
cisco. But this daring plunger on the turf.
who had his string of race horses, and who
had money to spend and spent it like a
any other man had ever done-more even
than the popular member of the diplomatic
corps at Washington, a favorite in society
there and in New York, who had paid at
tentionS to the actress in this city.
Young always referred to the actress as
'the little girl when chatting with friends,
and never made any secret of the fact that
he was quite as much lost to her charms
as she was hopelessly infatuated with him.
How intensely they loved each other-par-
ticularly how intensely Nan Patterson
loved Caesar Young-is strikingly illus
trated in one of the last letters she is sup
posed to have written to the man for whose
murder she will go to the bar tomorrow.
That letter was written short time before
the shooting, and was follows:
Dearest-I failed to see you today, and
am SO disappointed. / am sorry that you
are angry with me. I could not leave with
out you. and you must not leave me.
l know she wants to separate us, but it
can't be. 1 will not let you leave me.
thing. l would rather we were both dead
than that you should forsake me. 1 must
see you tomorrow, and we will be happy
once more together. Lots of love. NAN.
This letter, aglow with the madness of an
ill-timed romance, gives an insight into the
life of Nan Patterson at it's saddest and
most tragic climax.

TAFT IN NEW YORK.
For Railroad Meeting-Talks of Pana-
ma Canal Plans.

William H Taft, Secretary of War, who
will attend the annual meeting of the d.
rectors of the Panama Railroad Company,
which will be held in New York today, Is
the guest of his brother, Henry w. Taft, at
his home in that city. Secretary Taft said
last night:
THE meeting will result in a complete
reorganization Of the company. The gov
eminent is in complete control of all the
stock of the Panama company. A majority
of the stock came into the possession of the
government at the time of the purchase Of
the Panama property. Since that time the
government secured the stock which 1t did
not get at the time of the purchase.
1T is absolutely essential for us to con-
troll the affairs of the railroad In the inter-
est of the work of constructing the canal.
conducted in harmony with the Panama
commission, which will have charge Of the
general construction work.
with this end In view the directors Of
the Panama Railroad Company will elect
Theodore P. Shonts, the new chairman of
the Panama commission, as president of
the Panama Railroad Company
1--WE expect to have this road in readi-
ness at the time the work of canal con-
struction begins and managed in manner
SO as to facilitate this great task.
II expect that the Panama commission
will have concluded it's investigation of the
conditions and we will be able to report
our plans and recommendations to Congress
in December. 1t is the intention of the
administration to have appointed at an
early date board of consulting engineers,
which board will assist us in this work.

Oyster Dredgers at Work.

Although the season for taking oysters
on the Potomac river, either in Virginia or
Maryland waters, has been over since April
l. the dredgers are still at work, and are
meeting with no interference from the Of
ficials of the oyster navies of the states.
The officers of the steamer Harry Randall,
which arrived yesterday afternoon from
the lower Potomac, report having passed a
long schooner off Currioman Saturday with
dredges down, taking not only the oysters,
but shells as WELL in fact, scraping the
bottom clean Of everything that would pro-
duce an oyster or offer a holding place for
the oyster spat. This seeding material is
taken for the purpose of planting on some
private beds somewhere in the Rappahan-
mock. James or York rivers. While the beds
in which the cargo taken by the schooner
will improve the bed in which 1t will be
placed, the scraping Of the bottom of the
oyster ground in the Potomac completely
destroys the bed, and it will produce no
more good oysters until 1t is again planted
with seed oysters or shells This Is an OF
season with the oyster police fleet. Many
of the boats are laid up for an oyerhauling.
The violation of the law has. it is stated,
been brought to the attention of the au-
thorities, and an effort will be made to
prosecute the offenders.

Boys Rescued From Rising Tide.

John Peterson and James Goldman own
the twelve-foot skiff Happy Days, which is
locked at Oak Point, New York. They are
fifteen-year-old sailors and they have
planned all winter the times they would
have in their boat. They paid So for it a
couple of weeks ago and expended as much
more to get it into shape to stay on top of
the water.
They were out for their initial sail yes
terday. The bottom of the skiff scraped a.
rock and in mnete so much water poured
into the boat that the boys concluded they
had better vacate it. They got on a big
rock and dragged the Happy Days as far
out of the water as they could. They had
been two hours on the rock when they be-
gan to get frightened at the rising tide.
Something had to be done and the young
sters tied their handkerchiefs together
These were tied to an oar and held aloft.
In ten minutes their signal of distress had
been seen by police launch T. which was
cruising near. The launch got near enough
to the rock to pick the boys off,

HER LIFE Is A PUZZLE
THE STORY OF NAN PATTERSON'S
EvENTFUL CAREER.
Not Twenty-Three Years Old-Reared
an Athletic Country Girl-In-
fatuation With Young.

Ten years ago Nan Patterson was a bare
headed girl running wild in the fields and
forests of Virginia plantation. What cam
not happen in ten years? Nan Patterson
child, loved the solitude of the woods
and the rising hills and sunny slopes of
rural retreats. She was always out of
doors with sunbonnet strung about her
throat and dangling on her back. Her
face was bronzed by the sun, and she was
known throughout the countryside as a
romping, rustic sprite.
She was born in this city less than TWEEN
ty-three years ago. While she was a mere
child her father took his family to the
country beyond the Potomac to live. Nan
life as any city born girl would at that
age. She was always athletic. and never
tired of her romps over furrowed land and
long jaunts through the woods. In those
days she hated all that city life means.
Her girlhood was in such contradiction of
the craving for luxury and the vain pomp
and glory of the world which has marked
her more recent life as would make it APP
pear almost incredible.
Those who knew Nan Patterson as the
bare-headed woodsprite of Virginia, and
even those who knew her as a schoolgirl
in Washington a few years later, marvel
as they ponder on the transformation that
evolved the Nan Patterson of the 'Floro-
dora sextet'' and the Nan Patterson, pris-

time the DIRECTORS declare they will leave
the college.
President Gaines says Daniels came here
from st. Thomas, and that he cannot con-
ceive the position taken by the students to
be justified by the facts. Daniels, like
many other foreigners. differs in some re-
spects from Americans, but he was intro
duced by friends and former students who
know the regulations excluding from East
man College persons of the negro race. The
young man is not considered negro in his
own country and conducts himself with
propriety. His father is of Danish an
cestry and his mother Porto Rican.
Daniels insists that there is no negro
blood in his veins; that his grandparents
were English and his mother the daughter
of Spanish parents at Porto Rico. Presi-
dent Gaines viii make effort today to
square Daniels with the students who
signed the petition. Daniels first impulse
was to return to st. Thomas, but he has
decided to remain until the incident is
closed.
