He Could Find Ont.

A Scotch girl, rosy checked and de-
mure, was in one corner of a compart-
ment In a Continental train. In the
corner opposite snt a heavy German.
The Scotch girl was reading the Bible.
The German noticed the fact After
looking the girl over critically, he
asked her whether she actually be-
heved all she found in the Bible.
AYE" answered she, raising her eyes
10 him from the page.
"Not the story OF Adam and Ever"
aye"
~And Of Cain and AbelT'
aye"
"But certainly gou don't believe the
story of Jonah and the whaleT
The girl said she believed that, too.
The German was puzzled.
' But how are you going to prove it9
Ask Jonah when you get to heavenT
That idea struck the girl as a good
enc, and she said she could prove II
that way.
Suppose he isn't there? What theni
How would you prove itT'
"Ah," said the demure maiden, "then
you ask him."

Sea Power ara Aerial Flixht.

1t has remained for an English pub
licist to declare that on the day when
man solves the problem of locomotion
In the air the mastery Of England on
IT, seas will come to an end. A few
years ago such a declaration would
have been portentions for the empire
But now, when some Santos Dumont is
likely any day to try his new wings
and mount aloft the prophecy takes on
a deeper meaning. 1t is difficult to
C nceive of the vast changes in social
p litical and economical conditions that
will supervene when man Is master o.
the air. Certainly the occupation o.
the huge navies OF to-day will he gone
Dreadnoughts and Skeered-o'-Nothlns
will not longer be the hectors and bul
lies Of the seas, for he who rides tn,
ali dominates the sea.

MR.. FAIRBANKS GETS LEFT.
Methodsts Turn Him Down for In
diana Lay Delegate.

Columbus, Ind, Sept. 29.-Vice
President Fairbanks was defeated
for election as a lay delegate from
Indiana to the quadrenniaI confer
ence of the Methodist Episcopal
church, to be held in Baltimore next
May. Seven lay delegates out OF 49,,
who were proposed were elected by
the Indiana conference on joint votes
of the ministerial and lay delegates.
The vice president was not him
self candidate, but his name was
urged by friends, who assured his
election would follow by acclama-
ton. Instead of this, it was bitterly
opposed by the radical element of
the conference, who took the ground
that electing him would be equiva-
lent to condoning what they regard
ed as an offense against temperance,
the Objectionable offense having
been serving cocktails and wines at
the dinner to President Roosevelt in
the Fairbanks home last Memorial
day.

PRESIDENT SEES PERIL.
Certain Countries Too Persistent In
Dumping Undesirables Here.

With the Japanese question upper
most in their minds, the president and
his cabinet have been discussing
means for limiting immigration. More
than, a million persons come to this
country every year from the old
world and if all of them were of the
right sort all would be welcome for
there is dearth of white men to do
the worlds work. but it is felt there
is trouble for this government in ''un-
and Africa. How shall these undesir-
ables be kept out?
The president and his cabinet min
listers have had some discussion Of the
possibility of limiting the number of
immigrants that would be received in
one year, from each country. Those
countries which are sending desirable
immigrants might be permitted to
send as many as they wish to spare.
Countries which send to the United
States criminals and paupers, incom-
petents and "mollycoddles" of various
degrees might be informed that they
must find other dumping grounds for
such undesirables. Perhaps congress
might have to pass special legislation
TIC encompass this end and possibly
the suggestion that certain countries
were to be disseminated against
would prompt them to keep their I'M
desirables at home without further
action.

The motorman turned on full

GREAT nANzAls FOR WIN. TAFT
Japanese in Streets of Toxic Cneer
American.

Toxic, Sept. 30.-Prelimlnary ~
three days of social and diplomatic
activities. Secretary of War Taft ana
his party spent quiet Sunday in resi-
ing in the palace of Siba, an ancienl
and picturesque residence belonging u
the imperial family. During the day
numerous Japanese dignitaries and Oh
ficials called upon the secretary
Among the more important OF the
callers was Lieutenant General Ierau-
chi the imperial minister of war, VINO
had lengthy conference with MI
Taft. Some Importance is being at
tached to the fact that there have
been two conferences between the TWO
war ministers and it is believed IN
certain quarters that the ground WORK
is being laid for am entente concern
ing immigration.
Another of Mr.. Taft's callers yes
terday was l.. Wiley, representing
American commercial interests IN
Shanghai, who is anxious concern
ing the attitude of the United States
in view of the task or tne ulsineinpei
ment of China. and who came here TO
request that Mr.. Taft make posi-
tive statement concerning this on the
occasion of the dinner to be given
in his honor by the American asso-
cation of Shanghai. 1t Is understood
that Mr.. Wiley was informed that
Secretarv Taft would make no state
ment on the question.
Secretary Taft and his family took
a long drive in the imperial carriage
in the afternoon. The route which the
carriage would take had not been an
nounced, but the crowds in the streets
recognized the American secretary OF
war and greeted him with cries OF
"Banzai" and bows and smiles. II
was quite evident that the enthus-
iasm was spontaneous. The Japanese
believe Mr.. Taft is peace envoy.

REAR end COLLISION
FIFTEEN PEOPLE KILLED NEAR
BELLAIRE, OHIO.
Operator Who is Blamed for the
smashup Has oisappeared-An-
other Car Was TeIescoped by
Baggage car--Engineer GaIbrath
Burned to crisp-Many Hurt.

Wheeling, w. Va, Sept. 29-Fif-
teen men were killed and score in
jured, several fatally, at Bellaire,
Ohio, Saturday afternoon, when the
Chicago and Wheeling express on
the Baltimore & Ohio railroad
crashed into freight train which
was moving slowly on siding. The
dead:
Ed HIM, Wheeling; Carl Beran,
Milwaukee, Wis; f. Motz, freight
conductor, Newark, Ohio; w. J..
Johnson, freight engineer, Newark,
Ohio; Harry English, Connorsville,
Ohio; Curt Lafferty, Cambridge,
Ohio; H. Peterson, Hoboken, N. j.;
William Shaw, Wheeling; T. N.
Galbraith, freight engineer, Newark,
Ohio; T. S. Dunlap, passenger fire
man; four unidentified.
The wreck was due, it is said, to
the failure Of an operator to throw a
switch The west bound freight had
received orders to meet the passen-
laire yards and was moving slowly.
Along the siding where the wreck
occurred, there is sharp curve
which prevents the engineers Of
eastbound trains from seeing more
than few feet ahead. The passenger
train swung around the curve rapid
ly, being three hours late, and
should have gone on in safety on the
main line. The switch to the siding
had not been turned and the train
shot into the freight. The worst
damage was done to the smoker
which was telescoped by the bag
gage car Every occupant of the
smoker was injured or killed. The
passengers in the day coach and the
two Pullmans were tumbled from
their seats. but not seriously hurt.
Steam Burns Engineer.
Engineer Galbraith was burned to
a crisp by escaping steam. General
