Beginning to Boil Steadily at the
National Capital.
CANDIDATES GETTING BUSY
Taft Officially Opens Presidential Cam
paign Season--Burton Now in Favor
or Larger Appropriation for Rivers
and Harbors Improvement.

WASHINGTON, Dec, 27--The return
to Washington this week OF Secretary
OF War Taft has officially opened the
winter presidential campaign season.
There is certain to pe increased activity
in the camps OF the different rivals for
the Republican nomination from now
on. Mr.. Tafts literary bureau" in Co
lumbus is working overtime in keeping
members of Congress supplied with nice
fresh literature extolling the virtues OF
their candidate and insisting. with var
ious turns OF written speech, that he is
the only availible candidate for the Re
publican party to choose at its conven-
ton in june At the same time Senator
Knox and Vice President Fairbanks are
furnishing up the brasswork on their
booms and preparing to get into action.
Senator Foraker also has aroused him
self and is now engaged in an effort to
force the Taft people to an open test Of
strength in Ohio. Uncle Joe" Cannon is
not saying much, but it is noticeable
that he is chewing up more cigars now
than formerly a trick that always be-
trays the fact that the Speaker is en-
gagged in deep thought. Former Secret
airy OF the Treasury Shaw has been run
ing over to Washington from New York
quite frequently of late, and he has not
denied that he is in very receptive
mood. In fac', there is little doubt that
when the presidential lightning flashes
it will disclose veritable forest OF
lightning rods. The action Of the New
York Republican County Committee in
postponirg the endorsement Of Governor
Hugher' candidacy is not regarded as
having hurt Hughes chances.

COMEDY IN GRAND OPERA.
Constable Stands Behind Star at Pro-
duction of "Il Trovatore."

BOSTON, Dec 21.-An elements OF
comedy was mingled with the grand
opera at the production of II Trova-
tore" by the San Carlo Grand Opera
Company at the Majestic Theatre last
night, caused by the presence of con
stable upon the stage to guard Carlos
Albani, in the interests OF Oscar Ham
merstein, of New York.
Early in tn day a sheriff served
papers on the tenor in a civil process
on behalf OF Hammerstein, who seeks
to recover $1,000 paid the singer as ad-
vance salary when he came to the
United States to sing for Mr.. Hammer
stein. The latter claims that Albani is
under exclusive contract to him.
Just before the second act was to bt
put on tonight the constable placed the
singer under arrest in the process to
obtain the wages for the week to which
Hammerstein laid claim. The officer.
after a consultation with Manager Rus.
sell. consented to allow Albani to com
plete the program, but insisted that h.
be allowed to remain on the stage. The
constable kept on his Overcoat and hal
and whenever the singer moved about
the stage the officer followed, the au
dience usually kissing. After the per
formance bondsman was found ant
Albani was released from custody.

NEW YORK, Dee, s7--rhe growth Of
in amateur athletic cir
cles has become 50 serious that Pre-
sidem James H. Sullivan, of the Anna
teur Athletic Union, has issued a state
ment on the subject, in which he calls
attention TO the professional who poses
as an amateur, thereby polluting clean
sport, Special attention is called to the
athletes who represent the Second Sig
nal Corps of the American Athletic
League, who have been suspended by
the Union but whose members continue
to play with teams which have more or
less clean records, Many OF these teams
have been in turn suspended, Mr. Sulli'
van saws that the efforts OF the Unions
committee for clean sport arc not gctt'
ing the support they should receive, and
he asks athletes throughout not only
the metropolitan district but the coun'
try at large to aid in the effort TO purge
sport OF those who pollute il.
The Union is about 10 deal with the
protests against the selection OF
Matthew II, Halpin as manager Of the
American team. which will participate
in the Olympic games at London next
summer. Ii i now said that the com
mittee in charge OF the selection Of the
team will hold meeting soon at which
NIL he protests will be considered, Hal
pin is not accused OF dishonesty, incom'
potency, or in showing favoritism, but
rather OF a lack OF diplomacy. a lack
OF consideration OF the men desire to
show his authority and hoorishncss. 4
number of the best known athletes in
the country in the country have stated
that in case Halpin is retained as man
ager they will make no effort to obtain
places on the team. Among them are
Eaton, the 60.yard flyer; Sheridan, the
weight. .thrower; Sheppard. the half
miller, as well as Harvey Cohen, Mike
Spring and Billy Frank.
Meanwhile. college athletes all over
the country are planning to capture
many places on the team. The Yale
track squad. which will enter the pre-
liminary contests for the selection OF a
team, has already been called out and
men OF other colleges will begin training
Immediately after the holiday vacations

that there will he good representa-

bring them down to the work. but II they

They are perfectly free to take their time

sprung into life and have clothed the coral
ridges with eternal verdure. Others are
perfectly bare. without sign of vegetation.
Some OF them are in a state of disintegra-
ton. The action of the weather is caus-
ing the coral to crumble and assume the
form OF loose limestone called marine mari.
As YOU will see on the map, the distances
between them vary considerably and the
water is deeper in some places than IN
others. The maximum depth along the sur
veyed line OF the road is thirty feet: the
average depth Is six and one-half feet. and.
ror long distances between some OF the
keys. Il is only a few inches The 154 miles
Of track will consist of nearly six miles of
concrete viaduct eighty miles of embank
rnent work rising thirty feet from the
water. twenty-eight miles through the
everglades on the mainland, and forty
miles of earthwork upon forty-one differ
ent keys. AT one point for almost three
miles the road will run entirely over the
water and Mr.. Flagler remarked very Sc
riously that there would be at least one
portion of a railroad on which the passen-
gers would not be troubled with dust. The
-roadbed will be thirty feet above the
water the entire distance, which Is be-
heved To be sufficient height to resist any
gale that may possibly disturb those shall
low waters. The construction will be suf-
fcient to resist any pressure.
Leaving Miami the road runs through the
