TAFT MISSED A WRECK.
Misplaced Railway Switch Discov-
cred in Nick of Time.

KRASNOYARSK, Siberia. November 25
1t was learned here today that the train
upon which Secretary Taft and his party
are travelling over the Transsiber:an rail-
road from Vladivostok to Moscow had a
narrow escape from being wrecked yes
terday at Chita. A switch became open
when it should have been shut, but an
employe discovered this circumstance one
minute before the train came. along,
closed the switch, and kept 1t on the
proper rails.
Had the train been thrown onto the sid
ing it would have crashed into a num-
Der of freight cars.
The chief of the 1rkustk division of the
railroad today acquainted Secretary Taft
with the fact that owing to a. misplaced
switch at Chita, about 45O miles east of
Irkustk, his train had a narrow escape
from collision with an east-bound train
that was waiting on a siding for the
train to pass. The chief congratulated
Mr.. Taft on his good fortune.

DEMOCRATS SHOW DELIGHT
FOWLER'S CRITICISM OF AD-
MINISTRATION PLEASES.
Republican Organization in Congress
Will Not Permit Action Hostile
to Financial Policy Adopted.

The attack upon the administration s
financial policy by Representative Fowler
of New Jersey, the republican chairman
in the last Congress, and prospective
chairman for the Sixtieth Congress, has
created considerable discussion in con-
gressional circles. The democrats, who
have already. through their leader, Mr..
John Sharp Williams. announced their in
tention of criticising the administration.
are delighted over Mr.. Fowler's sharp ar
raignment of the action of his own ad-
ministration.
The disp position Of the republican lead
ers of the House, so far as it is indi-
Gated in private conversation, is not to
encourage any effort which may be made
to overturn the action of the executive
branch, nor to countenance reflection by
the House upon the policy now in force.
Although 1t Is true that some republicans
in Congress may differ with the execu-
tive upon the construction Of the act OF
Congress under which the per cent GER
tificates were issued, it is said they realize
that financial conditions were such that
hair-splitting on construction was not to
be countenanced.
No Hostile Action Possible.
So although there may be individual ex-
pressions of opinions by republicans in
harmony with Mr.. Fowler's views, the re-
publican organization of the House will
not agree to action by the House which
will reflect upon the administration, espe-
cially as such action would be the propo-
sition of the minority and urged for po-
litical effect and capital for use in the
next campaign.
The leaders say that Mr.. Fowlers re-
marks will not affect his appointment to
the Craftsmanship Of the committee. how
ever. He is recognized as an authority
upon finance, and has earned his chair
manship by his service. It is said that
the fact that he might hold an opinion at
variance with the policy of the President
and the Secretary of the Treasury would
not be reason for deposing him from his
position.
Secretary Cortelyou Silent.
Representative Fowler has not succeeded
in drawing the fire of either the Presi-
dent or the Secretary of the Treasury by
his adverse comments on the proposed
issue Of Panama canal bonds or treasury
certificates.
The attention Of Secretary Cortelyou
was brought to Chairman Fowlers state
ment, but Mr.. Cortelyou merely said that
he had nothing to communicate in re-
gard to 1t.

SMITH MYSTERY UNSOLv WE'D
VEIL OVER "GRACE BULKE-
LEY'S" PAST THICK AS EVER.
Everybody Believed Her Story, In
cluding Her First Husband,
Walter Medhurst.

NEW YORK, November 25.-The mys-
terry which surrounds Mrs. Nicholas NJ.
Smith, who Saturday killed her husband,
set fire to her home in New Rochelle and
then committed suicide. is no nearer solu-
ton as time passes. In fact, it steadily
increases. For twenty years the woman
claimed that she was Grace Bulkeley. a
daughter of the late Lieut. Gov. William
a. Bulkeley Of Connecticut, and all her
friends believed her story. She even went
SO far as to tell them that she had been
married to David Van Shaak. who after
ward died. The real Grace Bulkeley 10

Schaak.
Walter C. Medhurst, Mrs. Smiths first
husband, says that he married her in
1891, and that she then told that she was
Grace Bulkeley.
Was Mrs. Medhurst.
'She was the most beautiful girl ever
saw" he said. II don't think that she
was more than seventeen years old, and
had been in the city for some time. After
we were married and went to live in Sth
avenue near 57th street she told me the
story Of her life.
"She said she was the daughter Of
Lieut.. Gov. w. H. Bulkeley of Hart
ford and that she had fallen in love
with a New York traveiing man, who in
duced her to run away from home with
him. They came to New York and wired
her father that they were married. The
Bulkeleys promptly disowned her. adopt
ed cousin from the large Bulkeley fam
lily in Connecticut, and proceeded to for
get that she had ever lived. The cousin
had the same name as herself"
In 1892 Medhurst divorced his young
wife, and he promptly lost track of her.

LEXINGTON, KY. November 25.-The
third week Of the Caleb Powers trial. at
Georgetown, opened today with six re-
publicans and six democrats in the jury
box. Seven of these men were subject to
Beremptory challenge, Of which the de-
fense had eight remaining and the prose-
cution four. A complete jury will hardly
be obtained before tomorrow. The repub-
hcans challenged today by the common
wealth are w. S. Wayland and John Fer
guson both members of the Grant county
venire.
When Wayland was examined States
Attorney Franklin asked him pointed
questions as to predictions he is said to
have made about Goebers assassination
several days before 1t occurred. The
prosecution will endeavor to show. by af-
fidavits Of Waylands Grant county neigh
bors, that he offered to get drinks with a
neighbor that Goebel would be assassi-
mated. adding, it is claimed, on this occa-
sion, that he GoebeD deserved to be
killed for his bold attempt to steal the
governorship from Taylor. The defense
has affidavits to refute this.
Attorney for Powers entered a motion
to have Deputy Sheriffs Ernest Neal and
Salyers of Scott county. in charge Of the
incomplete jury, removed and special
bailiffs appointed in their stead Attor.
neys for the defense cited aff1dayits OF
Neal and Salyers in denying allegations
against them in connection with sum.
moning the special Harrison county
venire, in which Powers charged these of.
flcers with irregular conduct and partisan
discrimination.
Used Strong Language.
In denying charges Neal and Salyers
used strong language. branding Powers
allegations, "willfully and maliciously
false and untrue and made for the pur.
pose Of injuring their regulations as Of
ficials. and Powers says these statements
show prejudice against him. Judge Nor.
ris overruled the motion for their di-
missal. but it will be brought I'D again.
A story from Charleston, w. Va, that
Gus Ash, claiming to be detective, says
he can produce three Breathitt county
witnesses who saw Charles Sutton, former
sheriff Of Whitly county, fire the shot
that killed Goebel created much tall

for the killing shortly after it occurred
