Senator's IZife an Architect.

Mrs. Berri Chapman Hansbrough,
wife of the senior Senator from North
Dakota, is original among the social
leaders of the National Capital in that
she is a clever architect, and were she
not blessed with plenty Of the needful
gold, she might be reaping laurels In
that honored branch. Mrs. Hansbrough
designed the handsome home in which
she and the Senator pass the winter.
As a remarkably well-made gown calls
forth the query, "Who is your mo-
diste?'' so all of Mrs. Hansbrough's Wis
itors look around admiringly and ask,
"Who was your architect?' She could
have received a score Of orders had she
wished to enter competition with the
experts. Her dining-room, a sunny
apartment with a southwestern expo
sure is a symphony of browns and
reds, with Illuminated leather walls, a
ceiling painted in oil by the fair hands
of the owner. and the grandest of old
Flemish carved oak buffet, tables, and
chairs. Mrs Hansbrough was an ar
fist before she was married to the
statesman, but she has recently taken
a course of architectural design in a
famous New York institute.-New
York Press.

She was still alive, but frightruiiy injured.
Her entire body had been showered with
boiling water.
men worked heroically but unavaiiingly to
save the lives OF two other women pinloned
beneath the diner. The names had broken
out amid the wreckage and were burning
all about the PROSTATE forms of women.
Burrowing his way down into the smold-
ering, splintered wreck, Deabald, with a
hose which he had wrenched from coach
connection, spouted water from an adjacent
tank and eXtinguished the flames. Then he
reached down and, after cutting away the
broken timbers that held her fast, took
Mrs. William w. Essick of Reading from
the ruins. She was begging piteously for
relief when Deabald reached her. AS he
lifted her from the wreckage stream OF
boiling water poured over the woman, scar
ing her body terribly. Women passengers
sought to remove her upper garments, but
tainted when the flesh came off with the
clothing. She expired few minutes after
being carried out on the sand.
Henry j. Fisher of Cleveland went under
protest with his wife and Mrs. John W.
Cutler to the baggage car to rearrange their
baggage The women were killed and he
escaped almost unhurt from the wreck.
SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, May 10
Three trains bearing Shriners arrived
yesterday from the scene of the wreck.
An excursion train containing twenty
five Shriners which has been but a few
miles behind the wrecked train arrived
last night. The train was switched
around the wreck, and the passengers
agree in the statement that it was the
most deplorable sight that they ever
witnessed.
DR.. Ware of Cincinnati, who was the
first physician to reach the scene, told
graphic story of the terrible scenes
that he witnessed. The most pathetic
incident was the death of a bride and
groom at almost the same instant, each
believing that the other still lived.
L. n. Ellenbogen and his bride were
members of the excursion party and
were thrown from the coach on oppo-
site sides of the track as it reeled over
on the ground. Both were mortally in
jured, but retained consciousness and
exhibited remarkable bravery. The
wifes first thought was for her husband,
and the husbands first thought was for
his wife.
Tell my wife that 1 am all right"
murmured Ellenbogen to the physician.
"Give her my love and let me know how
she is"
Mrs. Ellenbogen in return sent a mes
sage of love to her husband, with the as
surance that she was all right. Before
the physician could carry another mes
sage both had passed away.

BEHAVE OR FIGHT
DIAZ TO GUATEMALA.
The President of Mexico Only Awaits
Overt Act or Insult to Strike
Blow.

NEW YORK, May 13.-In the course
of a lengthy interview in the City of
Mexico, published in the Herald here
of the feeling of Mexico toward Guate
mala and his ideas for remedying the
condition prevailing in some of the Cen
trail American republics.
Mexico" he said, has throughout all
this trouble with Guatemala, which
came so near forcing us into war, main
tanned the attitude of a friendly pow
er. That attitude is still maintained.
We do not want to shed blood to show
the Guatemaian government the error
of their ways and will not resort to that
extreme measure unless some overt act
or insult be committed which will de-
mand the infliction by Mexico of a short,
sharp punishment.
Blow Will Be Swift.
eff it becomes necessary to, have war
we will make it a very brief one. Next
co.'s present wonderful development and
progress must not be hindered by a long
drawn out conflict. The blow, if struck,
will be hard and quick"
President Diaz then reviewed the
events leading up to the present differ
ences with Guatemala down to the with
drawal of the Mexican minister, mot,
he said with the idea of severing diplo-
matte relations, but to get him out OF
the way of receiving any insult from
that government which would compel
Mexico to administer a deserved punish
ment by force of arms. There the mat
ter rests. That is why there is no war
1t is only a temporary condition, how
ever"
For Central American Union.
Continuing, President Diaz made this
important announcement.
'The problem of the Central American
republics is a great one that for the ben
eft of their salvation must be settled
sooner or later 1t is none of my bust
ness and | am not ambitious to settle it.
Nevertheless l have an idea. l believe
the best solution would be an amalga-
nation of all the Central American
countries into one strong government I'M
der a man with enough strength of char
acter and honest common sense to held
in check the revolutionary spirit that has
done so much to retard the progress and
development of these countries.
Not After Territory.
"Mexico is willing at any time to CO.
operate with the United States in a pro-
tectorate over them in any measure that
will be beneficial l do not know the
feeling of your government in this mat
ter, but I assure you l stand ready to
work with it.
Il want it distinctly understood, how
ever, that there must be no thought or
act of territorial acquisition in this COM
pact. Mexico wants no addition. 1t is
big enough now"

THROUGH OPEN SWITCH,
Derailment of West Virginia Express on
Ohio Central Kills One and Fa-
tally Injuries Three Others.

COLUMBUS, O.. May 13.-Dashing
through an open switch at Truro station,
twelve miles southeast of Columbus to-
day, the West Virginia express on the
Ohio Central road was derailed and one
man, John Davis of Truro station, who
was walking along the side of the track
was killed and a number of trainmen
were more or less injured. Most of the
passengers escaped with a few bruises
Mike Martin, the engineer, who was
pinned under his engine will die as will
also Dan Martin, the fireman, and an
unknown woman. A special coach hold
ing members of the Red Men going to
Marietta, was not derailed but a number
of the members of the order were slightly
injured.
The conductor who was badly hurt
proved a hero by rushing through the
escaping steam and pulling the dying
engineer from under his engine.

Wreck News First
Thought a Joke.

LOS ANGELES, Cal, May ia dis
patch received here discloseS how the
first news of the wreck at Honda
reached the railway officials. After the
wreck occurred Conductor Jones
climbed the nearest telegraph pole
with a telegraph instrument, provided
for such purposes, succeeded in tapping
one of the dispatchers wires. Connect
ed with the San Luis Obispo division Of
fee, he told of the wreck. The men
at the other end of the line doubted his
story, believing some one was playing
prank, but CONSERVATION followed
when in confirmation of his identity the
conductor read a copy of his last or
der. The news was sent to Santa
Barbara.

UNCLE SAM IS HUNTING
 FOR NAVAL SURGEONS

WASHINGTON. - Notwithstanding
 w the superior inducements which a naval career offers for a young physic- ian over the uncertain and overworked lines of the average struggling general practitioner the medical corps of the navy has not found it possible to se- cure enough naval surgeons to meet the needs of the service.
 Admiral Rixey, surgeon general of the navy, has adopted extraordinary measures to meet the case, even going so far, as to send circulars to many of the best medical colleges soliciting applications from the graduates for appointment as naval surgeons. And to make the offer more tempting the surgeon general has undertaken to give temporary appointments as "act- ing assistant surgeons" to the young men who will pass a satisfactory pre- liminary examination and come to Washington for instruction.
 They will receive six months spe- cial training at the naval medical school and hospital recently establish ed here or at the Mare island naval hospital in the case of applicants from

THE constantly increasing rents in
 New York, with no relief in sight, have driven many tenants of mOder- ate means to form a new political party, with the doom of the landlord as their slogan Cornelia Donovan is president of the organization, and says it has 10000 members, with more joining all the while He says the sit nation is intolerable, and that strong means must be used if the tenants are to get anything like fair treatment He asserts the belief that fully 90 per cent of the young business men who start in New York are put down and out by the landlords. The govern ment, he says, protects the borrower from the lender, but the miserable tenant who cannot pay his monthly rent is elected without redress.
 MT. Donovan proposes to have a series of mass meetings to stir up en- thusiasm in the matter. He declares he is going to appeal to Governor Hughes for help to end the land lords day of robbery" and recom-

mendS that the name of the owner of each house be displayed publicly on the building or at least printed in all receipts for rent. In this way he hopes to prevent the lodging of the real owners, through paid agents.
 Donovan has a big job on his hands, without a doubt, as the rights of private property are pretty closely guarded in this country. But all jok- ing aside, many of the complaints he fathers are founded on solid facts, or rather customs The borough of Man haitian is place for only the very rich or the very poor to live. Both of these are tolerably well looked after in the matter of housing, but the great mid dle class suffers by reason of the fact that comparatively scant provisions have been made for them within their means. The enormous increase in the cost of living in New York city proper, combined with the almost oppressive increase in rents for moderately com fortable quarters, is driving hundreds away.

 The duff culty in securing applicants lies in the fear of the examination to which they must submit. Admiral Rixey insists that this fear is un- founded if the applicant has been prop erly grounded in the principles of med icine. while for the collateral exam ination" which the candidates must take. this is nothing more than an elementary test of the candidate' s general knowledge of English. arith. metic and literature, and even knowl. edge of foreign languages is not es- sential
 Not even these comparatively sim pie requirements, however, it is stated, are met by the majority of ap- plicants, which in the opinion of the naval medical corps is severe com mentary upon the training afforded by many medical institutions.
