extremely well and happy on the Sec
ond day of his vacation, President

Mrs. Roosevelt is member. Rev.
Henry Homer Washburn, the rector.
made no mention OF the president or
national affairs.
Less than 100 persons were at the
service The president sang heartily
with the congregation.
When the president and Mrs. Roose-
Welt drove away from the church a
large crowd was assembled. Mr..
Roosevelt bowed and raised his hat.
He carefully watched the newspaper
photographers, and as they snapped
their cameras he raised his hand and
hat and covered his face.
During the day the president re-
ceived no visitors and he passed the
afternoon, which was extremely hot,
at Sycamore Hill.
Secretary Loeb was interviewed to-
day regarding the report from WASH
ington that he might be asked to ac-
cept the position of chairman or the
Republican national committee. He
was apparently pleased as he read the
report and smiled.
ST have heard nothing whatever
about the appointment" said he. "They
seem to be arranging this matter else
where"
Secretary Loeb, who this year is
making his home at the Seawanhaka-
Corinthian Yacht club. opposite Saga
more Hill, narrowly escaped becoming
hero today. He was on his way to
the executive offices this morning
when his attention was called to a
man in the water calling for help. AS
he was about to jump in and rescue
the drowning man he observed
launch running toward the unfortu-
nate man. The man was Fred Was,
an employee of the club, who had gone
bathing and ventured beyond his
depth. He was taken ashore uncon-
scious and was resuscitated.
The executive offices were open Tor
short time this morning when busi-
ness which came In the morning mail
was disposed Of.
The attention of Secretary Loeb was
called today to the dispatch from San
Jose, Cal, containing reported re-
marks by Representative E. A. Hayes
before the Asiatic Exclusion league.
Mr.. Hayes was quoted as having sa1d
that he was the bearer of a personal
message from the president of the
United States to the people of Cali
fornia. The congressman said this
was an explanation of the failure of
exclusion legislation by congress. The
president was quoted as saying:
az am still trying diplomacy. am
sending to Japan the sharpest corre-
spondence that any nation has ever
received. But tell your constituents
that If I cannot get what I want by
diplomacy l will get 1t by exclusion
legislation"
Secretary Loeb said that he knew
nothing of the remarks attributed to
Congressman Hayes or of the reported
message from the president. He had
not seen the president today. he said,
and so the matter had not been
brought to the 1atter's notice.

TAFT NARROWLY ESCAPES
SERIOUS TRAIN WRECK

DENISON, Ohio June 21.-Ae9retary
Taft had a narrow escape tonight from
being involved in a serious wreck on
the Pennsylvania flyer which was car
rying him east. Prompt action of the
towerman in a sgnal station third of
a mile east of Coshocton, and of the en-
gineer of the flyer, alone averted what
might have been a dreadful accident.
AS the train was SPEEDING along at the
rate of fifty miles an hour the piston
rod on the left side of the locomotive
broke short off, Almost instantly the
cylinder of the engine was cracked by
the unmanageable rod. The train was
just approaching town east of Cos
hocton. The operator saw something
serious was wrong and threw down
signal to stop the train. The engineer
applied the emergency brakes and the
train of six cars came to a stop on a
sharp curve. The accident occurred at
$3.50 o'clock, when many of the pas
sengers on the train were at dinner
in the dining car. Few of them real
ized how narrow their escape had been
from an awful accident
Secretary Taft and National Commit
teeman Kellogg entered the dining car
and sat down to dinner after the acct
dent occurred without thought of any
thing serious in connection with the
stopping and delay of the train. The
secretary made no comment on the in
cident when informed of 1t.
The engineer of the locomotive ex-
planned it was merely good luck that
averted bad accident.
IF the piston rod after 1t broke had
gone under the train," said he, 1--WE
would have gone into the ditch, as we
were running fifty miles an hour, and
the derailment would have been a seri-
Gus matter. Fortunately the broken
rod landed six inches outside the left
rail- That saved u.s."
Immediately the towerman sent a
message to Denison for another engine,
and after a delay of about an hour an
engine arrived and the foyer proceeded
on it's way east.
