SHOWS NATIVES
TRICK OR TWO
Stunts Of President Roosevelt in the
Southern Woods Dumfound Mem
bers Of Party.

Stamboul, Oct, 16.--Up to noon TO,
day no news Of the presidents hunt
today had been received.
Arrivals from the Bear Lake en-
campment tell marvellous stories OF
the presidents hardihood and capacity
for roughing it. When he carried his
blankets with him from the upper
camp last Friday, and that night and
next morning ate only cold bread and
meat which he had taken along in
his saddle pockets, they marveled that
a president could be so easily satisfied
but when he jumped into Bear lake
for a swim upon rising at daybreak
yesterday morning their astonishment
was almost without bounds. The ther.
mometer registered at the time less
than 04 degrees, and most of the 9th.
ers present were sedulously hugging
the camp fire. The president plunged
into the water as soon as he arose, as
he approached the edge Of the lake he
bantered some of the other members
Of his immediate party to join him but
none did so. He swan distance of
a hundred yards to an island and then
returned, declaring upon landing that
the exercise had been most eXiarating
and that the water was warmer than
the air ....
The fact that he seems almost tire.
less in the saddle is most favorably
commented upon, and is regarded as
quite marvellous for one of such exalt.
ed position and supposedly sedentary
life

MOTORMAN LOST
CONTROL OF CAR
Fatal Accident Resulted in Cincinnati
When Heavily Loaded Car Ran
Away.

Cincinnati, O., Oct, 16.-One man
was killed, six persons dangerously
hurt and probably twenty-five others
slightly injured today when an Elder
son avenue electric car, crowded Win
passengers, jumped the track and
went over twenty-five foot embank
ment at Mount Hope, in the western
part of the city.
Attorney Henry H. Bausch was tax
en- from the wreckage, badly injured
and died before he could be taken to
a hospital. 1t is feared that some OF
the other injured may die.
While coming down a hill the mo
torman lost control of the car, which
jumped the track, apparently striking
a bad rail, going clear across the
street and over an embankment. 1t
landed upside down, the heavy trucks
crashing through the car.

MEETING TO Be OPEN
Examination of Proxies May
Delay Election of Directors
Several Days.

Chicago, Oct 16--The annual meet
ing of the Illinois Central railroad, in
which warm contest is expected for
the control between Stuyvesant Fish,
former president and E. Fl. Hartman,
opened at noon today.
The contest over proxies continued
almost up to the hour of meeting and
the eighteen hour trains which ar
rived this morning brought patches
of delayed proxies from eastern stock
holders.
The followers of Hartman declare
there is no probability Of his losing
control of the meeting, claiming he
will have outside of 2S6,731 shares,
which will not be effective in election,
more than sufficient votes to carry
through anything he wishes.
Four Directors to Be Elected.
Four directors are to be elected at
the meeting to succeed Fish, Harri-
man and John Jacob Astor, whose
terms expire, and who are candidates
for reelection and to fill a vacancy
caused by the death of c. B. Yelling.
The outstanding stock of the Illinois
Central is 950,400 shares. OF this it
is estimated 100000 are not to be rep
resented and deducting the shares
which will not count in view of an
order issued by Judge Hall yesterday,
there is left 563669 shares, which will
not be far from the maximum number
of shares voted
Fish expresses himself confident OF
securing the election of his directors
but he said as changes in proxies had
been so numerous no man could state
exactly the number of votes ne con-
trolled. 1t Is possible that the work
of determining the right of the vari-
Gus proxies may consume two or three
DAYS and that the election OF direc-
tors consequently may not be reached
today
Meeting to Be Open to Press.
At the meeting of the directors
which preceded the meeting OF the
stockholders it was decided upon the
motion of Fish, that the meeting OF
the stockholders should be open to the
press. Heretofore none but the
stockholders have been admitted.
When Fish entered the stockholders
r,ootinp shortly before noon he walk
ed to the table where President Hara-
han sat as the presiding officer and
nlacing his hand on Harahan's shoul-
der said a few words to him. Hara-
han shrugged his shoulders and tossed
his arm impatiently, implying ne dld
not care to talk with Fish The la,-
ter turned away with a smile and TOOK

CARLSBAD WANTS TO
CLOSE OUT GAMBLING.
From FL PaSO Herald

L 'lI III L - IlVloiu
Carlsbad. n. NJ. March 27.-For
some time past the ministers of Carls-
bad have bee working on an anti,
gambling movement trying to get the
citizens of the city interested in peti.
tfoling the town council to pass an or
finance against gambling.
A petition is to be presented at the
next meeting of the council and it is
hoped by the opponents of the gamb-
ling business, which is very strong in
Carlsbad, to appear before the cOun-
ell with strength sufficient to impress
the members of the board with the
desire of the majority of the town
for the instant abolition of gambling.
It is the purpose of the anti-gamb
ling league to nave an ordinance intro
duced revoking the present licenses
and refunding to the owners of gamb.
ling houses, of which there are four
in Carlsbad, the pro rata sum paid in
to January /. 1t is impossible to ar
rive at any conclusion as to the pro
bable success of the movement. as the
board is mixed. 1t is composed as fol
lows: w. II .Mullane, editor of the
Carlsbad Current; George N. Bruce
building contractor; w. c.. Woerner
saloon proprietor n owner of a Ii,
censed gambling house; A. P. O'Quinn
mayor and hardware merchant.
The latter would not commit him,
self as to how he would stand, say
ing he would vote, in case of a tie,
as his conscience dictated. There is
a vacancy on the board made by the
removal to Oregon of NJ. J. Murray,
a former business man. This vacan-
cy will be supplied by the members
present at the next meeting.
