Edward B. Finn was over in Maine
last week helping the republicans in their
state campaign. Mr.. Finn ranks high
as stump speaker and his ready wit
and keen logic makes him very popular
with any audience. AS the representa-.

a touch Of humor to the usual routine of
the legislative proceedings and as the
champion of the adjustment of capital

A Washington correspondent who
has studied Secretary Root impartial

picture Of him:
Root is not a popular idol. He
probably never will be. He lacks hui

conservative, reticent None OF these
adiectives are to be found in the de-

Roosevelt. What other men have done

Root will do by sheer force of Intel

duty and remarkable constructive and
executive ability. His will be con-

it proves to be.
Take a close view of him here at
Washington and learn the method and
manner of the man. You cannot study
him in the social atmosphere, In the
atmosphere of club or popular resort
You must have some business that
is his business, business that will
bring you in contact with him In his
work, for he does nothing now but
work. This is literal Ask the mes

Sad Experience of the Survivors on
Raft

Raft.
| Chief Cook Hancock a survivor OF
the Valencia's life raft found in Bar
clay sound, in telling of the experien-
, ces of those who were with him on
the raft, said SO poignant was the dis
appointment of the shepwrecked men
when the steamer Queen failed to see,
their signals and sheered off that one
went mad and a few minutes later
died. The others, to tighten the raft
pushed his body overheard. Then an
other passenger, with a cry, slipped
off the raft, leaving eight. These were
clinging to the frail craft with seas
breaking over them, when one Greggy
became insane and was soon violent.
While some tried to propel the raft
landward others were obliged to hold
him. Hancock, who fell asleep. was
awakened by Greggy clutching his
throat and trying to choke him. The
insane man was saying, meanwhile,
you are a wild dog and good to
eat"
At last through the spray the wood
ed sides of Turret island were seen,
and as the raft drifted near shore
Wilson became crazy and with a wild
cry leaped into the sea. The raft with
four survivors and three bodies of
those who succumbed within sight of
land, grounded on sandy beach. The
raft was left drifting off shore until
found next morning by the Salvor and
the bodies recovered. Greggy the mad
man was one of those whose bodies
were found. The four survivors, as
soon as they crept from the raft, stag
gered above high tide mark and fell
into stupor. Frank Connors, who
had imagined he had seen a light
house, wandered into the bushes. Next
morning the Salvor dispatched two
boats and located him on log semi
unconscious and muttering that he
was going to find the lighthouse. He
was revived with difficulty, and it was
expected by DR.. Hart on the Salvor
that his reason and health would be
restored.

Root was out of public life and in the
