i've TOPICS ABOUT TOWN.

A New York business man was walking
across the Brooklyn Bridge, on his way to
his office a few days ago. An unexpected
gust of wind came along and his hat few
into the air, 1t fell on the forward end of n
ferrvboat.
When the owner Of the lost article rea ched
his Office in Manhattan there upon its
usual peg hung the vagrant hat, An EN-
ployee soon u~nraveIled the mystery. It
seems that he was standing on the forward
end of the feriyboal when a hat ca me tum-
bling through the air and dropped not far
from his feet. He Immediately saw that its
inside band bore the initials of his employer.
Further examination convinced him of the
fact and he carried 1t to the Office.
A pair Of bushy whiskers showed them
selves into the money order window and
the voice behind the whiskeIs said:
"Gif me Il money orter."
The clerk showed him out "A blank applica-

A pROssER VISITOR.
f. l.. BOar1lman Talks About the
Future of Prosser and Yakima

Editor Boardman of the Prosser
Bulletin, came up yesterday on a
short business trip. He seemed very
glad when informed that the Tietan
project was assured. "It should be
an occasion for general rejoicing
throughout the whole valley" said
Mr.. Boardman, land you can bank
on Prosser rejoicing with you. In
five years from now I expect to see
town here of twenty thousand peo-
ple." Mr.. Boardman also spoke
very encouragingly about the growth
of his own town and predicted
boom there this spring. "Prosser
will be as big as Yakima is now in
five years from this date" continued
the versatile editor, land don't for
get it. We are growing right along,
keeping up good pace. Of course,
if we had few Pat Mullins build
ings down our way, it might help a
little, but these things will come in
time" Mr.. Boardman returned last
night on the 9 o'clock train.

LANDSLIDE IN
NEW YORK CITY
SIXTEEN BELIEVED TO Be KILLED
Carelessness of WOrkmen Causes
Awful Accident - Flames
Add to Horror.

HAVERSTRAW, N. Y, Tuesday,
Jan. 9.-Sixteen persons are be-
lieved to have persisted in a landslide
here at IL o'clock last night. Re-
ports this morning are that the dead
are from prominent families. The
slide occurred at the end of Rock
land street and eight houses were
carried over clay bank into the
brickyard excavations, dropping
down over hundred feet. The
slide is supposed to have been
caused by the fact that workmen in
the brickyards dug too close to the
end of the street. Most of the
people were in bed when the catas-
trophe happened. Immediately
after the slide the houses caught
fire and it is believed that the per-
sons who went down persisted in the
flames. At 2:45 this morning the
fire was still burning and it was i'm
possible to ascertain the number of
dead The slide carried away the
Waterman supplying the fire
hydrants and the firemen are power
less to extinguish the flames.

In an interview with Chairman
Fraser of the local irrigation COM
mittee, he said:
There need not be the slightest
alarm over this article. We have
known for a week that the govern
ment had given Engineer Jacobs
instructions to go ahead with the
Priest Rapids matter but this is be-
ing done to forestall some private
enterprises that are trying to gain
a foothold in that country. The Tt
etan project is in better shape than
it has been at any time and l am
thoroughly satisfied with the way
seems to be going along very nicely"
that were received by the local en-
gineers were, as / understand them,
to put on a double crew of men in

be judged necessary. Let no one
worry about the matter, as things

WITH BULLET
AND POISON
EDWARDS COMMITTED SUICIDE
Coroner Gives Verdict, but the Mys.
terry of Death of Chemical
Magnate Still Remains,

NEW HAVEN, Corn. Jan. s.
Suicide by means of both bullet and
poison is the explanation given by
Coroner Mix for the death of
Charles Edwards at the Hitler home
stead on Tuesday last. This find
ing is contained in a preliminary
report to State Attorney Williams.
and is based, in part, upon the dis
covery of morphine in Edwards
stomach. The findings are sup
ported by some portions of the
evidence taken at the inquest. The
report is made at this time to relieve
public suspense, the coroner adds,
in probably one of the most re-
markabie suicide cases on record.
After reaching this conclusion, the
first act of the coroner was to re-
lease A. Maxcie Hitler from surveil-
lance. The coroner's brief report
does not dispell the mystery as to
why Edwards, as the coroner ex-
presses it, "At 2 o'clock in the
morning, left his chamber in his
underclothes, descended to the base
ment, lit the gas, unbolted the rear
door, twice discharged a 22-caliber
revolver at himself, and then, fail
ing to kill himself, threw the weapon
into the shrubbery near the house,
where the detectives unearthed it on
Saturday, then drank laudanum and
tossed the bottle after the pistol,
where it was also found, and with
the blood flowing from the wound,
dragged himself back to his cham
Der, got into bed, drew the clothes
over his shoulders and, after placing
HIS handkerchief under his head to
staunch the flow of blood, lapsed
into unconsciousness, death coming
fully six hours later"
Hitler took his release calmly, but
denied himself to all callers. Some
of the testimony at the inquest is
understood to have been startling
almost beyond belief.

Washington, Jan. S.-The letter
of the secretary of war to the presi-
dent, transmitting the reports of the
Isthmian canal commission and of
the president of the Panama Rail-
road company, together with the re-
ports, were received by the houses
of congress today. The report of
the canal commission has been made
public. Secretary Taft, in his let

is to be majority and minority re-

engineers as to the type of canal
to be recommended and that he ex-
poets soon to receive by cable from
General Davis, chairman of the
board. who will meet the foreign

The minority report is being pre-

first of February.

use of their names to any instru-
ment that does not bear their sig
nature and to any doctrine that was
never promulgated by their au-
thority.

plating the probable bombardment
Of Caribbean port to enforce the
payment of a usurer's bond? Was
his mind perplexed by vision of a

stables and collectors in the interest

dens of the stock market?"

SPEECHES BY j. s. SENATORS

Washington, Jan S.-The senate
today gave its attention to the
Panama canal situation, Santo Do
mingo and the merchant marine
bill. The canal bill came up in
connection with the message from
the president, in which, among other
things, he invited the closest
scrutiny of all done by the govern
ment done on the isthmus. Cor
man of Maryland made that utter
ance the text for a speech in which
he criticised the salaries paid and
urged a congressional inquiry. He
said that the president was not so
much to blame as was congress for
the assumption of control on the
isthmus, and that the chief mistake
had been made when congress re-
leased its hold on canal affairs. Hale
agreed with German in urging rights
of congress and said while congress
had delegated the matter to the
president, the latter had practically
referred it back to congress.
The Dominican discussion arose
over Tillmans resolution. This
was made the basis Of a speech by
Raynor. who said:
It is not my intention in any
thing that l may say to cast the
slightest reflection upon the admin
istration Of the department of state.
T subscribe to every sentiment Of
the Monroe doctrine that IS, the
genuine doctrine. the old text and
not the revised edition, the original
document and not the counterfeit
parchment

trine long years ago rang a proc
lamation through the world that at
that time convulsed the political

sponsors would never recognize it
in its deformed and distorted shape.

tariff revision from the democratic
standpoint.

presenting an extensive array of
figures in support of the measure.
He said:
To-day, alone of all the nations
ambitious for mercantile expansion,
the United States neglects its ocean
shipping. Our coast and lake fleets,
protected by federal statutes, are the
most prosperous and the greatest in
the world. Taking the coast, lake
and river ships together, we have
merchant navy of 100000, or six
times the size of the poor, shrunken
fleet of SSS,000 tons registered for
foreign commerce. The gradual
disappearance of our shipyards. the
bankruptcy of our merchants, the
loss of our skilled mechanics and
seamen, though calamity and
great one, is far less serious than the
cramping and whitening effect of our
lack of American ships on the ex-
port trade of the United States.
William McKinley's prophetic vision
in that final address of his to his
countrymen saw that without ships
of our own to convey our goods to
our customers, we should be more
and more hopelessly handicapped
against our maritime competitors in
the neutral markets of the world"
The Importance of national ship
ping as a means of defense was
urged, and after analyzing the
measure, Mr.. Galilnger summed up
the probable results of its passage
as follows:
"First-A force of 10000 naval
volunteers, trained to the naval
service.
"Second-A new fleet of from
100000 to 100000 tons of steel mail
steamers, naval reserve of fast
transports, ammunition ships, sup
ply ships, auxliaries, etc, in case of
war.
"A new addition of 100000 tons
of cargo vessels, increasing fourfold
the actual ocean shipping of the
United States.
"Fourth-The creation of ten new
and strengthened American steam
ship lines to South America, Central
America, Africa and Asia, supple
mented by large and active fleet
of tramp or cargo vessels, opening
new markets and giving increased
trade and employment for the whole
American people impossible to set
down in specific figures, but fifty
fold or a hundredfold the entire cost
of the national subventions.
