TRIED EATING RAW POTATOES
They Made Him Deathly Ill-Lost Con-
sciousness after Desperate At
tempts to Attract Attention of
Freight Crcw-Crnzed when
Finally Released.

New York, June 12.-Crazed from want
OF food and water, Chester A. O'Connell.
a ma chinist OF Bath Beach, was rescued
from a freight car in the Harlem yards
to-day and taken to Lincoln hospital
where it was said that he might die as
result OF his privations.
O'Connell was working In Jacksonville,
Fla, and having lost his Job crawled
into a freight car laden with potatoes.
to make his way back to New York.
While he was asleep in the car the door
was locked on him and the car started
northward.
For seven days and nights he was
locked In the car. and the heat was In
tense. To appease his hunger he ate some
of the raw potatoes but they made him
deathly III, and some time in the fifth
day he lost consciousness. Before this
he had made desperate attempts to at
tract the attention OF the train crew
but the noise OF the train prevented his
being heard.
Finally after n journey of LOO miles.
the train reached Jersey City and was
terried over to New York where the car
was opened. O'Connel was found uncon-
scious and was taken to the hospital
where typhoid fever developed He is in
critical condition.

FULL. VOLUME AT NIAGARA

Inch over the Falls,

Niagara Falls, y. Y, June 1kFor five
fun hours to-day the American Niagara
piled over the cataract as free and un-
as free and embarrassed as It
did the day 1t was discovered,
The power houses o. the Ameri-
can side Of the river capped their wheel
pits and the mile and a half tunnel that
carries the bolt of water after it has
turned the turbines and generators ran
dry
The plants were closed down TO allow
divers to inspect the American abutment
of the upper steel arch bridge at the
mouth Of the tunnel. In the last ten
years concrete wall two and one-half
feet thick has been battered down and
attempts to place retaining walls have
been frustrated by the current. The di-
vers to-day found the abuttments Of the
bridge solid and safe In every particular.
with the exception that the guarding wall
OF one OF the piers had been undermined
1t will probably be rebuilt, although the
bridge is in no danger.
Engineers of the United States gov
eminent under direction OF Major
Kutz of the Taft commission took
measurements of the river while tho
water was Embarrassed and the test
showed that not enough water Is di-
verted from the American cataract to
make II noticeable. A rise of one
tenth of an inch was noted. While
the American plants were closed down

THE fight this year" said Mr.. Scott
will be in the states OF Illinois. Ohio,
Indiana, Wisconsin, Iowa, Minnesota,
Kansas and Nebraska, instead OF the
East, where former contests have been
determined. The reasons for the change
of battle ground are about as follows:
The Roosevelt administration Is popular
in those states where the people be-
lieve thoroughly IN the Roosevelt pro-
gram. They have not been satisfied, l
take 1t. with the last session of Con-
gress. 1t looks from their standpoint.
as IL the reactionarles had rather
handled the situation in the Senate and
House, and they don't like It,
The people OF that section want the
Presidents program carried forward
They are so earnest that II they thought
II necessary to elect democratic admin
istration in order to carry It forward
they would do it, Party lines are weak
oning through the West The teachings
Of such men as La Toilette have had the
effect of lessening party allegiance and
the people are voting more independently
than ever before. They are voting for
measures and not for parties.
There Is danger in the middle west
ern situation II the democratic con-
ventior at Denver should have a lucid
interval and nominate johnson, I should
think there would be a good chance Of
losing two or three middle western
States. OF course this will not happen
The Denver convention will nominate
Mr. Bryan, and he is not any stronger
now than he was In 1900, unless he is
made stronger by the failure of the re-
publican convention to take advantage
Of its opportunities.
The strength in the republican situa-
ton Hes IN the fact that while Mr.. Taft
Is thoroughly committed to the Roose-
welt policies, yet he is recognized per-
.onally a conservative mana man who
will do even radical things In conserva-
tive way,
1T Is on this account that Mr.. Taft
will have the confidence OF that element
in the Fast which has not been in sym
pathy with the Roosevelt program, while
he will have equally the confidence Of
those in the West who have accepted
Taft because of the Presidents indorse-
ment OF him.
Taft does things differently from the
President He could have done precisely
the things mat Roosevelt mas uoHe anu
have had the good will OF the very men
whom he was restraining without max
ing n ripple on the surface Of business.
lie is a diplomat; he pours oil and smiles
all the time"
Senator Deliver is Mr. Scotts choice
for the vice presidency. "Dolliver Is
popular IN the Middle West. whore the
struggle will be keenest." said Mr.. Scott.
HE Is thoroughly identified with the
Administrations progressive policies. He
Is recognized n s one of the leaders among
the progressive young senator's. He is
n very attractive orator and would draw
as good crowds as Bryan and entertain
them better. Mr. Taft is an eastern man
and his acQuantances are In this section,
He was educated in New England, and
the people of the Atlantic coast know
| him as we'll as they know any New York
| man, or better Also. ! do not see how
New York can possibly vote for MI
| BRYAN. so We do not need New York
| man for second place on the ticket"
