CAPTAIN SAVES LIVES.
Held Prov Of Boat in Rent in Vessel
Ranmed by His Ship.

KdTuEnou ny IT'S 0UlP.
New York, Nov 23.-The lives Of
more than 500 persons were imperiled
Sunday when the fruit steamer 4Ad-
miral Dewey, inward bound from
Jamaica. crashed into the steamer
Mount Desert, outward bound from
Bay Ridge for the fishing banks.
1t was only the nerve and G'siclS
thoughts of the fruiteIss captain that
prevented a catastrophe. He held the
prov of his vessel into the hole in the
fishing vessels side while most of the
$50 passengers on the latter boat
jumped down to the decks of the Adj
miral Dewey. There were some slightly
wounded but no fatalities.
There was heavy fog on the lower
bay when the Admiral Dewey, coming
suddenly out of a fog bank, struck the
Mount Desert almost amidships. open
ing a cash in the fishing vessel that
extended from the upper deck to the
waters edge. The passengers on the
Dewey were at breakfast In the saloon.
but those on deck say that the crew
was blowing the fog blasts properly.
When the collision occurred the I'M
pact threw a large part Of the hshlng
boats passengers off their feet, but the
effect on the Dewey was slight. There
was panic on board the Mount Desert
in a moment and when the upset pas
sengers regained their feet they began
to jump the decks of the Dewey.
Captain Dawson had his wits under
command. Before the fruiter gathered
sternway lie signaled to the engineer
for one-quarter speed ahead, fearing
that he had smashed thru the hull of
the Mount Desert and deciding to cling
to the gap until the last man was
saved

President Elect Investigating
Cannon Sentiment in Iowa

SUSPICIOUS OF WALTER !. SMITH
Taft Wants to Know Whether lowa's
Candidacy for Speaker is for Friend
ship or Hostility Towards Cannon
Iowa and Two Other States Could
Defeat Speaker.
Special to Times-Republican.

Special to Times Republican.
Washington, Nov. 23.-Word comes
from Hot Springs that President Elect
Taft is investigating the personal af-
filiations of the house members with
reference to opposing Cannon for
speaker. He especially wants to know
whether the candidacy Of Walter L.
Smith, OF Iowa, represents friendship
to Cannon or hostility, and how many
of the Iowa, Minnesota, and Wisconsin
members will be Lined up for Cannon.
It is understood here that Smiths
candidacy is intended to keep a con-
siderable group of members lining up
with the real anti-Cannon candidate.
Mr.. Taft wants to know about this and
also to learn whether Tawney can de-
liver the Minnesota delegation to Can
non. It is believed by the administra-
ton crowd that most of the, Iowa and
Minnesota delegations will oppose
Cannon unless led away on some pre-
text and finally delivered to Cannon by
a deed. The three states, Iowa, Minne-
sofa and Wisconsin, are regarded as
critical in the situation, and either
crowd which gets them will be able to
name the speaker. Because of various
local conditions all are listed by both
groups as uncertain.

Officials Of Big Rail Lines = FIasler
and Dodd Conceived the Oil Trust
Rockefeller Not in To Interview.

New York, Nov 23.-John D. Rocke-
stand when the Standard Oil hearing
was resumed today.
Kellogg questioned Rockefeller at
considerable length concerning whether
the stockholders Of the South Improves
ment company held stock in the Stan
dard Oil company. Witness memory
was rather faulty in this respect, and
he couldn't say positively whether w.
II. Vanderbilt held stock in the Stand
ard. Kellogg brought out the fact that
Amasa Stone, then president of the
Lake Shore railroad Stillman Witt.
director of the Lake Shore and Big
Four roads; J. p. Handy, director of
the Big Four railroad, were taken into
the Standard in the early days. Rock
efeller said P. II. Watson seemed to
have access to w. ii. Vanderbilt, and
witness thought he afterwards became
president of the Erie railroad.
And he was president while he was
a Stockholder in your company" asked
Kellogg.
"If so he was not a stockholder for
any length Of time"
Rail Connections Shown.
Witness said he did not think any
official of the Pennsylvania railroad
was connected with the Standard Oil
company.
Then in the early days you had a
president of the New York Central, a
president Of the Erie and three direc-
tors of the Lake Shore all stockhold-
ers in the South Improvement COM
pany except three as stockholders In
the Standard?"

From the list read by Kellogg wit
ness identified fifteen small companies
which Rockefeller said were purchased
by the Standard, and he said he be-
lieved twenty to twenty-five concerns
were bought in Cleveland. He could not
say how many were kept in operation.
He said the smaller ones were used
in construction and the larger ones
were connected with their plants.
Trust Conceived by Others.
Rockefeller testified that he did not
conceive the plan for the formation Of
the original Standard Oil trust in
1882. I'm sorry to say I didn't" said
Rockefeller II can not claim any
credit for that. Flagler and s. G.
T. Dodd conceived it,
Not "In" to Interviewers.
Rockefeller said the various compa-

which was made in 1882, were man
aged as separate and Independent cor
porations. A recess was then declared,
and one of the reporters handed to
Rockefeller the following written ques-
ton:
DO you think you could receive i'm
munity from prosecution because of
your testimony in case proceedings are
brought later?"
Rockefeller said in loud tone:
please tell them I am not in"
"Are you tired of the examination" 2"

GROOMING SMITH FOR 1910.

Iowan is Approved by Cannon as
"officiaI Anti Candidate for Speaker.
Special to Times-Republican.
Des Moines, Nov. 23.-What is be-
lieved to be the true inwardness of the
candidacy Of Walter I. Smith, of the
Ninth Iowa district, for speaker of the
J. C. Welliver, the Washington cor
respondent. Welliver says that Smith
has been approved by Cannon as the
official opposition candidate and has
thus made any opposition to Can
mons reelection ineffective, and the
opinion is expressed here that Welliver
has a correct line on the situation.
A considerable number Of members
has been pledged to vote against Can
non. Most of them are Cannon men
and Smith is a big spoke in the Can
non wheel. These Cannon men who
are pledged to vote against Cannon,
will generally be directed toward the
Smith camp. The Iowa delegation will
be for Smith and he will have a very
respectable showing.
BY this course two things will be ac-
complished: Smith will be put in the
race IOr lle SpedheiSHlp lWo yeaAe .
later, when Cannon has promised to re-
tire; and Townsend, Burton, or some
real insurgent, will be prevented from
making showing of strength which
would make him the apparent leader in
the next fight.
Cannon being assured of election-for
he has a majority pledged to him-the
opposition will fall to pieces. Town
send, Esch and Burton will probably
not be presented in the caucus. But
there must be some candidate for the
accommodation of the people who can't
vote for Cannon. So Smith serves the
purpose, gets the compliments, and is
lined out as the probable speakership
candidate of the old guard two years
later
