4 PANloN, FROM WATERY DEATH.

Iowa City, June 1s.-The life Of
Margaret, the eight-year-old daughter
of Judge Samuel Hayes, OF the College
of Law, 8. U. L., was saved here by
the presence of mind and absolute
heroism of Marjorie Coast, the eleven
year-old daughter Of Preston G. Coast.
The Hayes girl fell into the Iowa
river at a point where the water ls

tie playmates were all paralyzed with
fear, except Marjorie. The latter leap
ed into the river after the younger
child, and. seized her skirt and tugged
her to a nearby pier, where the rescuer
clung until aid came.
How the elder girl succeeded In
keeping afloat herself, besides saving
the little one, Is miracle. An effort

The gravity Of the situation is ad-

said that all means of conciliation had
been exhausted. Nevertheless, he said
he would exert every effort to avert a

TAFT MAY NOT
MAKE RUN FOR
PRESIDENCY
WASHINGTON FRIENDS SAY SEC
RETARY's HEALTH AND LOVE
FOR BENCH MAY DETER HIM.

Leavenworth, Kan, June 19.-
When Secretary Taft arrived here
this morning his attention was
called by the Associated. Press to
the story printed In the Kansas
City papers quoting the Washing
ton Times to the effect that the
/, secretary may retire from the
presidential race, 1t being intimat-
ed that he Is not physically equip
ped for the long presidential cam
paign, citing the Illness at st. Paul
as giving color to the rumor. The
story bore the caption, Taft not
to run"
Taft declined to discuss the mat
ter and dismissed 1t by saying,
laughingly:
you just let that question mark
stand"
The secretary looked to be in
perfect health The article In
question went on to say:
Washington. June 19.-The possibil
lty Of Taft retiring from the presiden,
tial race is being discussed among the
secretary's friends in this city. Two
reasons are assigned. First, the state
of his health; second, that he has not
really had his heart in the contest
from the start.
There are those who fear that Sec
retary Taft will not be able to with
stand the hard work OF campaign
The strain Of his official duties has
been such as would have put a mar
Of average vigor in bed long ago. Il
he should add to these the strenuous
exactions of a presidential campaign
his friends fear that his health woult
be In danger of giving away. They
point to his recent collapse in st. Pan
as a warning.
Aside from considerations Of health
1t is no secret that Taft was pushed
into the presidential contest agains
his personal preferences. He frankl!
stated some months ago that his am
bitions we're for a judicial post, in
stead of an executive one.
Would Rather. be Chief Justice.
Mr.. Taft would rather be chief just
Ice than presto DENT 1t is only afte
the more earnest solicitation on th,
part Of members of his family, and, 1
is said, by President Roosevelt, tina
he finally consented to run for th'
nomination.
The announcement comes today
made on behalf Of Senator Foraker
that the Taft folks will have to fgh
for every delegate they capture in tn,
state. Foraker has apparently abau
doned any ideas he may have had 0
a harmony arrangement with the Taf
forces.
