man, Is Injured.
ESCAPE WAS FORTUNATE.

G. c. Crull, a Panhandle brakeman
had his right leg cut about the knee
Wednesday night at Ashland, Ind, be

was fortunate for Crull that he escap

possibly his life.
Crull was tired and sat down on the
platform of the depot of Ashland to
wait for the train. He fell asleep
and the incoming passenger train
struck him, knocking him aside. The
cut in Crulls knee is about two inch
es long. He is being treated by DR.

To Be Increased in Strength
From Eighteen to TWen-
ty-eight BattIeships.
READY FOR SHORT NOTICE.
BOARD AFTER THE CRUISE, HAS
SHOWN FEASIBILITY OF NOV
ING SUCH VAST NAVAL FORCE.

Washington, Sept. Cit is authori-
tatively stated at the navy department
that President Roosevelt does not con.
template the creation of two battleship
fleets. Nor does Secretary Metcalf
nor even the general board, which is
supposed to represent the extreme view
in naval development, favor either the
division of the present magnificent
fleet under Admiral Evans command
or the creation of another fleet in or
der that there may be formidable
American navy in both oceans, the At
lantic and the Pacific.
The Better Policy.
On the contrary, it is regarded at
the navy department as better policy
to maintain one perfectly equipped
and well-drilled fleet, free to move
speedily to any part of the globe at
short notice and the present plans con-
template the increase of the strength
of the Atlantic from eighteen to TWEEN
ty-eight battleships. This will afford
a command as large as can be properly
directed by one officer and it will
moreover, about mark the capacity Of
the ports and drydocks of any section
or the world. So it is asserted posi-
lively at the department that there is
not the least intention of keeping the
battleships which will go to the Pa
cific permanently in those waters. The
fleet, it is added, will surely return to
the Atlantic seabord after it has per-
formed it's mission and demonstrated
the feasibility of moving such vast
naval force between the two oceans.

RUEF'S NAME ON PAYROLL.
Pacific States Telephone Company
Gave Him Handsome Salary.

dCIIlC olGICS CICPuOHC SOTnPdHy
Gave Him Handsome Salary.
San Francisco-Two sensational
pieces of evidence in the bribery-graft
investigation were adduced before the
grand jury Saturday. Three members
of the executive board of the Pacific
States Telephone & Telegraph CON-
pany, E. S. Pillsbury, Homer 5. King
and Timothy Hopkins, testified that
they had no knowledge whatsoever Of
the alleged bribing of supervisors to
vote against the award of a competi-
tive franchise to the Home Telephone
company and that if bribery was CON-
nitted it was cup to" Vice President
Louis Glass, whom the grand jury al
ready has indicted on nine counts, to
explain. Another member of the exc
cutive board, Percy S. Morgan, made
the same denial of knowledge several
days ago when on the witness stand.
The second sensation came when T..
S. Pillsbury, who is a director of and
attorney for the Pacific States Tele-
phone company, testified that Abra-
ham Ruef, the indicted political boss,
has been for more than two years on
the private payroll of that corporation
and has been paid regularly $1,000 a
month. This, said Pillsbury, was more
than the salary paid to himself. When
he discovered this, he testified, he OBJ
jected to the company and his own
remuneration was increased.

HUGHES LOOMS UP LARGE.
New York Governor as Presidential
Candidate.

Charles Hughes, New Yorks reform
governor, and the man who has stirred
up political Albany as it has never
heen before disturbed in years, has two
big fights on his hands, one is to GUST
Superintendent of Insurance Kelsey,
whom he has charged with being in
competent, and the other to put
through his bill for the regulation of
public utilities, measure the corpora
lions are fighting tooth and nail.
His enemies say that he has lost
control of the general assembly in his
fight, and that now he has the alter
native of falling into the net and be-
coming cog of the great New York
political machinery or of throwing
away all party lines and making a
direct appeal to the voters. They al
lege there are the best of reasons to
believe that he will choose the latter
course, and it is this very fact, they
say, that promises to make him
national figure, for with presidential
fireworks being touched off in Ohio
those on the inside are not aware Of
the fact that Hughes presidential
boom, although not blossoming above
ground, is taking firm root.

The Parting Word.

How tenderly we cherish the parting
words Of those dear to US! How men,
DRY fingers over them, and our hearts
rejoice as we recall the words Of affec-
ton and help! Bitter indeed are the
regrets If words were left unsaid which
might have cheered and comforted the
loved one, and we fain would live over
just one day that each moment might
be laden with tenderness and sympathy
and love. We lay flowers on the grave,
and every word of unkindness that
gave pain to the one sleeping there
rises In judgment against us; while
every word of love, of help, Of cheer,
comes back laden with sweetness and
inspiration, vying in beauty with the
flowers we have strewn upon the grass
covered mound. Precious heritage is
the memory Of kindly words and deeds
as we near the borderland Of life. The
"inasmuch as We did it" will gild the
evening Of life with the beauty of the
setting sun and the glory Of the resur-
rection morn.

TALKS TO TEACHERS
Spoke to Toronto Instructors About
Country.

President Roosevelt Saturday re-
ceived about 500 schoolteachers from
Toronto and surrounding places who
are on a visit to Washington. The
president addressed them as follows:
There could be no body of visitors
whom l would more gladly greet than
greet this. l have, as every good
American must have, the very warmest
and strongest feeling for our brothers
across the line in Canada. So l well
come you, as Canadians; then as a
father Of six children, have strong
feeling for teachers. l may sometimes
have a strong sympathetic feeling and
when l greet you both as Canadians
and teachers l greet you with a
double fervor. 1t is real and great
pleasure to see you here and would
not have missed on any account the
chance of greeting you personally in
the White House to say how very glad
l am to see you, both in your individual
capacities and for the sake Of the
mighty dominion you represent"

ELECTRIC light and
POWER HOUSE BURNED

San Francisco, April 8. - The de.
struction of the electric light and pow
er house of the San Francisco Gas and
Electric company by fire Tuesday night
plunged almost the entire city into
darkness, resulted IN the injuring of
five firemen and caused loss estimated
at 81 100000. The following firemen
are in the Potrero emergency hospital
seriously injured: Captain Thomas j.
Murphy of engine 30; Lieutenant Hay
den, Lieutenant Dantey, Lieutenant
Kelsher, Lieutenant. J. De Mar.
The firemen were caught by falling
walls when the building unexpectedly
collapsed. The destroyed power house
was the principal electric and power
plant of San Francisco Gas and Elec.
trio company, and furnishing the cleo
trio lights for the larger portion Of the
city.
Out of the nine leading theaters, six
could give no performance.
Extra police were placed on duty at
the temporary hall of justice and city
prison at Eddy and Mason streets.
Owing to the darkness, the building
having no gas connections, no one was
allowed to enter or leave the city pris-
on and no prisoners were released on
bail.
The fire started shortly before 8
O'Clock. 1t was caused, it is said. by
the explosion of a steam pipe in the
engine room, which scattered fuel oil
in all directions. The oil Immediately
caught fire, ignited the oil tank, which
exploded, and in a few minutas the en-
tire building with its valuable machin'
erv was Wrapped in flames.

'BALLINGER
GETS BUSY
GENERAL LAND OFFICE
RE.ORGANIZED.
THE COMMISSIONER Is TO MAKE
THE LIFE OF LANDlTHIEvEs
BURDENsOME.

Commissioner Ballinger of the gen.
eral land Office has issued statement
indicating that there will be vigorous
prosecutions of land fraud cases. He
has a plan to reorganize the force of
special agents, with Harry W.
Schwartz as chief in charge, and chiefs
of field divisions as follows: F. N.
Goodwin Of Spokane, Washington and
Idaho; Ward M. Dixon of Portland,
Oregon and part of Washington; Louis
L. Sharp OF Helena, Montana.
The commissioner SAYS majority Of
frauds have been in coal, timber and
arid lands, hence these classes are
especially watched, although agricul-
tural lands will also come under close
espionage. Commissioner Ballinger's
statement bristles with warnings
against further attempts to loot the
public domain, promising trouble for
all who are found guilty.
Secretary Garfield and Commissioner
General Of the Land Office Balilnger
will come west this summer to visit a
number of states and meet the people
to learn the general conditions, to look
into land fraud cases and to ascertain
wherein further changes are needed in
the organization of the department and
the land Office. Thsy expect to be open
to suggestions from all classes that
may know wherein the policy of the
department should be amened to meet
new conditions.
Clifford Pinchot, chief forester, will
soon leave Washington for a six
months tour through the public lands,
to attend numerous conventions and to
meet people wherever any desire is
made to learn about the policy of the
forestry bureau. He realizes that the
bureau has made some errors in the
past and wants to correct them and al
so to make known to the people where
in the policy has heretofore been mis-
understood through misstatements
made by opponenst. Mr.. Pinchot il
especially interested in Idaho condi'
tions and will probably remain some
time in that state.

MUD TAKES UP THE OXYGEN.

Air in Cold Storage PlanFToo Poop
to Support Combustion.
1t was recently noticed in cold stor-
age plant that candles or lamps began
to burn with feeble flame as soon al
they were brought into the room and
that in many parts Of it they were ex-
tinguished. A match could be lit, but
the wax would not ignite.
In the corner Of the storeroom was q
disused we'll from which gas Issued
and it was at first supposed that car
bon dioxide was being distributed into
the air from this we'll.
But this was not borne out by analy-
sis of the air In the room and from
the well, for the amount of carbon
dioxide was only slightly more than IL
present in normal air and was quite
insufficient to have affected the conn.,
bustion Of a candle.
Samples of the air taken from differ
ent parts of the room contained only
17.5 to 17.7 per cent Of oxygen, or from
80 to "a per cent less than Is present
in normal air. The oxygen in the air
III the SnaIC OF the wen dInOuutcu "
no more than SO and 80 per cent and
other experiments confirmed the con-
clusion that the air in the storeroom
was ordinary air containing less than
its proper proportion Of oxygen, owing
to admixture Of air deprived of its
oxygen which issued from the well. !
The source Of the impoverished air
from the well was finally traced to
tunneling operations close by In which
compressed air was being used. The
air must have found Its way through
the soil wherever it was sufficiently por-
| GUS and SO into the shaft Of the we'll
and on Its passage through the soil
must have been deprived Of part Of its
oxygen by contact with some substance
such as pyrites
Evidence in support Of the correctness
| of this conclusion was furnished by the
analysis of the mud from another we'll
shaft near the first. This mud was
found to contain pyrltes and air left
| in contact with it for some weeks was
deprived of almost the whole Of its

TAFT.FoRAKER CONTEST.
Politics Getting Quite Warm Down in
Ohio

Politics Getting Quite Warm Down in
Ohio.
Senator FOraker's challenge to the
Roosevelt-Taft forces in Ohio drew
from the latter recently an answering
challenge that promises contest un-
equalled even on this famous political
battle-ground. Foraker proposed a
contest at the primaries to decide
whether he should be Endorsed for
president and senator. Taft's mana
gers came back with the suggestion
Of simplified contest, one that would
wipe the senator or the big secretary
off the political slate.
Foraker's def" set the politicians
buzzing, but this answer from the sec
rotary opposed to him asserted that
his def" was not as defiant as it ap
peared on the face because it did not
clearly outline Foraker's position
They claimed that by inviting prima
ries he was only forestalling what was
bound to come to pass anyway. and
that they also averred that he was
maneuvering so that If he should miss
the presidency he would land the sen
atorship.
But this answer from the Taft CAMP
has aroused interest in the contest tC
a burning pitch. The matter is of 6
national Importance, of course, be
cause in whatever form the confess
is held it will decide who shall go into
next years convention with united
force or broken forces in support O.

ROOSEVELT LIKES HIS WORK
Rugged Statesman Cares Naught for
Strain.


Strain.
1t is said that when an eminent
statesman told the president the other
day that he was looking tagged out,
the president reached over to him and
in whisper that was audible through
out the room, exclaimed: with all
that l have and all that l am called
upon to do, l am enjoying myself more
than any other man who has ever
been in the White House." And he
looks the part.
The extreme illness of Archie
brought more lines of care into his
face than were ever before seen there.
There were days that he secured no
exercise. The lawn tennis court had
not yet been put into condition and
he would not leave the White House
for a walk or horseback ride, but
when the opportunity offered he soon
resumed his daily routine of sports
and felt better for it.
But the president is bearing his bur
dens well. He had an unusually hard
winter of it and if he did not show
some signs of wear and tear he could
be properly classed as one of the great
wonders of the world.
Here are few of the important
problems to occupy his attention
Threatened railroad strike in Chica
go, Central American war, Taft-For
aker presidential fight in Ohio, Pana
ma strike, house cleaning, Cuba, south
ern immigration, German tariff
charges that United States Minister
Graves refused to introduce Mrs. Val
Claussen to the king of Sweden, the
