GOVERNOR CUTS
QUITE A FIGURE
Illinois Executive Again at the
White House in the Interest
of Secretary Taft.

Washington, May 4-Governor De
eeen and Secretary Taft had a confer
ence today following the interview
upon the Chicago drainage canal pro-
ject that is likely to be accredited as
having political significance. 1t will be
recalled that on a recent visit of Gov
ernor Deneen to consult with the presi-
dent at the White House, the secretary
of war was called in merely TO meet
the governor The story was brought
that the governor was asked to take up
the management of the Taft campaign
in Illinois and possibly become the fla
VOrite SON. candidate in the state, with
a view TO delivering the delegation to
Secretary Taft at the opportune mo-
ment. The story was denied at that
time. but it was called to the attention
of the secretary and the governor today.
They denied that they had been consid-
ering political issues, and declared that
broad questions of craftsmanship were
all that had engaged their attention.
The interview was cut short by a call
from the White House for Secretary
Taft to go there and confer with the
president.
Governor Deneen was a guest of the
president at luncheon. The luncheon
Secretary Loeb said, was a purely SOC
ial function and was not for the pur-
pose of talking politics or railroad mat
tiers.
Lewis NJ Iddings, consul general at
Cairo, Egypt. and Mrs. Iddings were
also guests at the luncheon.

YACHT SYLPH IN COLLISION
Wife of the President and Several
Other Ladies Luckily Es-
cape Injury.

Washington, May Mrs. Roosevelt
and a number of ladies' accompanying
her aboard the yacht Sylph narrowly
escaped a serious accident as the boat
reached Washington yesterday on its
return from d trip down the Potomac.
Through some misunderstanding the
boat went past her dock ard crashed
into tugboat. The shock was SO Sc
we're that the flag pole of the Sylph fell
to the deck with a crash, narrowly
missing Mrs. Roosevelt and those with
her. among whom were Mrs. Clifford
Richardson of New York and Mrs. Ba-
con. the wife of the assistant secre-
tary of state. None was hurt.
Mrs Roosevelt was entertaining
friends upon the yacht, having left the
city at noon. For time following the
accident there was considerab BILE ex-
element aboard. but the ladies were
assured there was no danger and the
vessel was backed to her dock, where
the party disembarked without further
misadventure. Both the yacht and
tugboat were damaged. The impress
sion is that the engineer misunder-
stood an order to reverse his engines
as one to so forward, resulting in the
collision.
The launch of the Sylph was badly
Damaged. The captain of the Sylph
was at the White House today but for
what purpose could not be ascertained.

SaSsinate President cabre-
ra of Guatemala.

Washington, May Another at
tempt to assassinate President Cabrera
OF Guatemala. according TO a dispatch
received today by Minister Toledo, was
made yesterday. In this instance, what
is described in a general way in the
advices as a "mine." was placed not
far from the mansion of President Ca
brera, apparently with the intention of
exploding il at a time when it would
be most destructive. The mine was
discovered, the attempt at assassina-
ticn thus being rendered futile.
The news of the second attempt on
President Cabrera's life was received
in cablegTam. of which the following
is a translation:
Guatemala, May Minister To-
ledo, Washington: Yesterday a great
mine was discovered placed in front of
the barracks of the guard of honor, 120
feet from the American legation and
170 feet from the presidential mansion.
This scandalous attempt at assessing
ton has created great Indignation
among all classes of society.

Senior Barrios is minister of foreign
affairs of Guatemala. The guard of
honor is the special guard of President

Little Horace Marvin Wandered
Only Half a Mile From
PaternaI Home.

Dover. Del, May 4.-The body of lit
tie Horace Marvin. who disappeared
from the farm of his father at Kits
hammock, near here. March 4, was
found this afternoon in a marsh in a
state of preservation.
The spot where the body was found
is half mile east of the farmhouse
toward the Delaware river. Kittsham-
mock is between seven and eight miles
from here, and is without communica-
ton with any place.
From information brought by a
horseman, it is learned that the clothes
upon the child are the same he wore
the day he disappeared. The body
was face downward.
DR.. Marvin at the moment the body
was found was not ready to say wheth-
er the body was placed where it was
found, or whether he believed the child
wandered into the marsh and lost his
life.
The marsh was frozen over the dav
the boy disappeared. There is a theory
that the boy was murdered and his
body placed in the marsh, as the long
grass where the body was found was
burned and cleared four weeks ago.
1t is said the body lay under a pile
OF grass and that the clothing showed
no evidence of having been touched by
fire.
The body was found by Ollie Pleas

for ducks today. Pleasanton is the
man who reported having seen two
strangers who We're inuuiring about
