PRISONER IN TUNNEL; INSANE.
Workman, Held as Water Rises, Res
cued. But Goes Mad From Friuht.

Milwaukee, May 1.-Imprisoned in a
compartment of the partially con-
structed tunnel under the river, Thru a
break in which water was pouring,
John Slater stood for two hours yes
terday watching the water rise slowly
until it threatened to engulf him. When
at last he was rescued he was man
lac, his mind having given way from
fright Peering thru a bull's-eye in the
compartment, his companions saw him
in his plight, and for a long time were
unable to help him.
Seven men were working at the bot
tom of the river in the air lock of the
tunnel which is being constructed to
carry water pipes. Suddenly portion
of the roof gave way and the water
poured in. Slater's companions es-
capped by jumping thru the door of the
diaphragm. Slater slipped on the Shiny
floor, and before he could recover his
poIse and jump the door was closed by
the flood of water, and the was shut off.
Firemen were summoned and went
down into the tunnel to the rescue.
Looking thru the bulls eye, they
saw the water already had risen to
Slater's waist. The prisoner stood
trembling in the compartment, crying
piteously for aid.
Leads from the fire boats were let
down into the tunnel and the engines
were worked at furious pace to pump
out the water while the rescue work
went on.
In spite of everything that could be
done the water rose steadily above
Slater's waist, to his breast,to his ARM
pits and finally to his neck. Fifteen
minutes later he would have been
drowned. Barely in time to prevent
this, however, the f1remen succeeded in
opening the door and took Slater, in
sane and benumbed with cold, to a
hospital.

RATE BILL DISCUSSED.
Senator Daniel Makes an Extended
Speech on Subject.


Speech on Subject.
Washington, May 2.-The proceed
.ings In the senate Tuesday included an
extended discussion of the railroad
rate bill by Mr.. Daniel, an explanation
of the status of the appropriation for
the relief of the earthquake sufferers
of California by Mr.. Allison and a
controversy among several senator's
as to the propriety of adopting without
referring to a committee a resolution
rendering the thanks of congress to
General Horace Porter for his services
in rescuing the body of John Paul
Jones from its long lost resting place
in Paris. In the last mentioned pro-
ceedings Mr.. Aldrich opposed action by
the senate in advance of committee
consideration and succeeded in having
the measure referred to the committee
on foreign relations.
In his rate speech Mr.. Daniel sup
ported the right of congress to legls-
late SO far as to fix rates and to dele
gate its power to a commission. He
opposed Mr.. Bailey's nonsuspension
provision and indicated indifference as
to whether court review clause
should be inserted. He did not con-
c1ude and will continue today.

The Constitution Forever.

Patriotism in this country is by no
means extinct. The fathers who framed
the Constitution have left behind them
an invincible line of defenders for all
it's sacred rights. Living men are to-
day upholding its bulwarks OF individ-
ual liberty with as great-tho some
what different--fervor as when the
Federalists saved the day for one great
republic. Let the wavering and down.

DO you operate joint?'
"An answer might incriminate me-
did you ever pay the county prose-
cutor for protection?"
II stand on my constitutional rights.
Where would one find finer illus

tons than this? And in what period of
our national life has more zeal been
displayed for the protection from sac

Humphrey declares to be "the most
cherished right of an American citi-
zen--the right to remain silent when

CANAL STARTS ROADS
Railway Building to the South
in Anticipation of the
Canal Traffic
LARGE SUMS APPROPRIATED
LARGE SUMS APPROPRIATED
Management Of Certain Lines Of Road
Have Set Aside Great Fund for Con-
struction of Lines to the Southwark
Rock Island is Active.

Chicago. May Building of the
wonderful period of railway construc-
ton the south and southwest has ever
experienced. 1t is stated by the Man
ufacturers' Record that between $780,
100000 and $150,oO0,0OO have been APP
propriated for railway construction in
territory south of the Mason ana Dixon
line.
The reason for this wonderful era of
construction is seen when the present
freight from the middle west to the
orient are considered. The present
frst-class rate on these exports by the
way of the Pacific coast is S1.50, of
which the inland proportion is 50
cents. For this sum the western rail-
roads are compelled to make a 1900
mile haul over from one to two noun
tain ranges. When the canal is open
the lines by the way of the gulf ports
will be able to make the same rate to
the orient as is now made by the Pacif-
lie coast This will give them so cents
on the haul to the gulf Of 1000 miles
over a water grade as against so cents
for a mountain haul by the western
roads over $500 miles of lines.
Activity of Rock Island.
In this fact is to be found the rea-
son of the activity of the Rock Island
interests, for example, to connect up
all their lines and Yoalum lines with
the gulf ports. The acquisition of the
Trinity and Brazos Valley has given
the Rock Island an entry into Houston
and Galveston by Fort Worth and the
Frisco is already into New Orleans. The
Colorado Southern and New Orleans
Pacific takes them from Houston to
New Orleans by Baton Rouge, where
connection is made with the Frisco's
New Orleans line. In addition to all
this the Rock Island will build line
from point south of Little Rock to
Eldorado, Ark.
1t has purchased the Arkansas South
ern from Eldorado to Winfield, La, and
will extend it by the way of Alexan-
dria to Eunice, where connection will
be made with the Colorado Southern
and New Orleans Pacific, giving the
Rock Island system another gulf coast
extension.
The activity extends further east.
The Southern railway has let contracts
for s5.O0O,0 600 worth of second track
work. and the Chesapeake & Ohio. is
going to expeud s1,ooo,oool on second
track construction, in addition to a
large amount previously awarded.

Is Mt. gtna Due to Explode Next7

is NIX. Una Ouc W GNP'SHS
The most interesting query IN coh-
nection with the eruption of Vesuvlus
is whether the disturbances there VIII
have any effect upon any other Volca-
nos. especially on Mount Etna, as these
two mountains are supposed 10 be
connected.
The seismograph in the Astronomical
observatory near the volcano ana the
one in Naples indicated disturbances
lust before the eruption. but there was
no way In which the degree of It's Vio-
lence could be foretold and 1t Is not
possible to foretell when It will terini-
nate.
When we have a great fire in prog
ress away In the interior OF the earth,
and this fire is being fed constantly by
The settlement of the earth and by the
combination of electrical forces and
gases, 1t Is impossible to say just how
soon 1t will burn itself out and sub
SIDE
we do not know the quantity or
quality of the material that feeds this
fire. After 1t is all over 1t is possible
for scientists to make calculations from
the amount of material burned ana
from other results as to the degree OF
heat and the violence of the phenome-
ma, but very little can be done during
the outbreak
When there is great amount Of
electrical force the eruption is likely to
be accompanied by more violent explo-
sions than when steam alone accom-
panies the disturbance.
The general theory is that when the
eruption and explosions are very vto-
lent they will. by their violence, expend
their material and burn themselves out
more quickly than when the fire is
merely a slow one.
