Went Willingly to Crocodile.


1t has been said that the Australian
blacks never commit suicide; that
self-destruction does not come within
their philosophy. The author of Con
fessions of Beachcomber" mentions
a case of recent date which he thinks
might be regarded as in conflict with
that view: "a member of the Clump
Point tribe, painfully afflicted with a
vexatious skin disease, was fishing at
the mouth of creek when his hook
fouled. To companion he said he
would dive to get it clear. His friend
endeavored to dissuade him, remind
ing him of the crocodile which they
had seen but short time before.
But the boy worn with pain and
weary with neverending irritation,
said if he was taken, No matter. Good
job, me finished then He dived and
there was a commotion in the water.
The boy appeared on the surface,
making frantic appeals for help while
the crocodile worried him. He escaped
for moment and his friend clutched
his hand and drew him to the bank,
only to have him torn from his
grasp"

GLOOM HOVERS OVER
EUROPEAN CAPITALS

LONDON, Oct 9.-Feeling In all
European capitals has become decid-
eddy pessimistic. This is partly due
to the fact that Irresponsible little
Servia seems likely to begin the game
OF war within a few hours.
Great Britain. and no doubt other
powers, have sent strong remon-
strances to Belgrade. but public pas
sion throughout Servia Is so high that
this will hang in the balance. but the
scale Is tipping the wrong way.
Turkey to Begin War Soon.
In the best informed circles here. IL
Is fully expected that Turkey will be-
gin hostilities within few days. 1t
is believed that the new Turkish re-
gime will be compelled to resort to
the use of force against Bulgaria. The
Ottoman empire has lost Bulgaria.
Bosnia, Herzegovina and Crete within
a week. 1t can expect no effective
help from the powers.
There are small chances that the
much-talked of international confer
ence can now materiaiize.- Austria
naturally objects to the conference
idea unless review Of her action in
Bosnia and Herzegovina be excluded
Germany will support Austria. This
attitude alone would make a confer
ence impossible.

only three were sealed, and two OF

Roosevelt Is now casting about how
That year he invited E. H. Hartman
to gather funds and Hartman did 1t.
When the upturn In the insurance
scandal revealed his dealings with the
practical Hartman he said that all he
asked Hartman to do was to help In
the local campaign.
Reports made to him now indicate
that Gov. Hughes Is In bad way. His
three callers. National Committeeman
Treasurer Sheldon, National Commit.
teeman Ward and John A. Stewart,
president Of the League Of Republican
clubs, agreed as to that, and they
said that the failure Of Hughes to en-
thuse the party was having some ef-
feet on Taft's candidacy.
Mr. Ward remained over and again
went to the White House just as Sen
ator Heminway, Of Indiana, was leav-
ing. The senator returned with Ward
for another talk.
The reports to the president con-
corning Indiana are very like those
he has been getting from New York
recently. that the party's candidate for
governor is handicapping the national
ticket. In Indiana 1T is the guberna-
torial candidates friendliness to the

What is most desired IN New York
Is an angel to finance the campaign;
and Hartman Is not available this
year. All the money that Treasurer
Sheldon Is getting is needed to carry
out Hitchcock's plans.

Morgan Involved in
CrOmwelI'S Canal Deal

CHICAGO, Oct. 9.-The New York
World recently published the fact that
a syndicate headed by VIM. Nelson
Cromwell, of New York, had reaped
$50, SOC, 900 profit In the sale of the So
curities of the French Panama Canal
Co. to the United States government
The Daily News cabled its correspond
emit In Paris to investigate the transac-
ton. The result Of the correspond
ent's inquiries is told in the following
special cable published by the Daily
News.
Shares and Influence.
PARIS. France, Oct S.-The
agents Of a French bank In Paris, who
helped to conduct successfully the ar
fragments which led to the sale of
the Panama canal to the United States
government. express surprise that the
part played In the negotiations by q
group Of American financiers should
be considered in any way to their dis
credit.
"As one bank official said These
gentlemen were engaged for many
months in buying up the old Panama
shares at the cheapest rate possible.
When they had enough shares. or
enough Influence. to control tue fate
OF the canal. they managed TO bring
to successful issu the pourparlers
with the American government.
Col. Bacon Grew Weary.
ION several occasions political
agents have been in Paris inyestigat.
ing reports that an American syndi-
cate. and not the French company,
really sold the canal to the United
States. but they were unable TO OBJ
tain the complete details. The last
investigator was q certain Col. Bacon,
who grew weary over the obstacles
placed In his way. but who returned
with sufficient data. so 1t Is said. to
make things hot for the members OF
the syndicate concerned. These men,
SO say officials who came In contact
with them here, were Charles p. Taft,
William Nelson Cromwell and j. Pier
pont Morgan, the last named being
much In the background. There were
several others whose names cannot be
given with certainty, but 1t Is alleged
that there II no mistake about the
three names mentioned.
The Government "Worked."
When shown Mr.. Taft's denial that

They will have hot time over this
thing, IL 1t has been published as a
campaign bomb. Agents of these men
whose names have given you, as well
as Of other whom l identify, l am not
at liberty to disclose. quietly brought
up for several months thousands of
shares of the old Panama company,
and many Of the, bonds of the new
company all through the country. The
small holders of canal paper FASTENED
to take advantage OF the free for
nothing gifts unaccountably laid at
their doors, for the shares for many
years had been considered practically

and other modest owners.

The victory won by the government
In a case against one of the Michigan
railroads for noncompliance with the
law regarding safety appliances on

push to a speedy conclusion the cases
which have been awaiting hearing in
the federal court In Detroit The test
case tried out this week was heard in
Bay City and resulted In a complete
victory for the government. The prin-
cipal contention was as to whether
reasonable care on the part Of the

ficient excuse for defects in the safe
ty appliances. the government holding
that such should not be the case and

The first real indication that Detroit
is to see a post-season baseball series
for the championship Of the world
made its appearance early Friday
morning In the formation Of q line
leading toward the ticket windows OF
Bennett Park where 1t had been an
nounced that the sale OF reserved
seats would open at 10 o'clock. The
early-comers made their appearance
before daylight. The crowd grew rap
Idly in dimensions and, by $3.50 the
line stretched along Trumbull-ave. as
far as Plum-st. and was being rapidly
heightened every minute.
Inside the box ONCE where Secre-
tary Schumm was laying out his plan
OF campaign there were $500 paste
boards which were all the accomoda-
tons of the park permitted In the line
OF reserved seats.
Obviously, as there were more than
1000 persons In line, every one. OF
whom was after the legal limit OF two
tickets, there was bound to be huge
disappointment In store.
IF we had 5000 reserved seats we
could sell every one Of them for to-
morrow" said Mr. Schumm as he
looked over the crowd from the fast.

trance.
The sale OF tickets which began this
morning and was destined to last for
little more than an hour or two, was
solely of reserved seats and compris-

Inside the park all day workmer
were busily engaged In installing the
emergency seating arrangements
which arrived early in the morning on
an express train from Chicago.
The park was a scene of huge activ
ity all day. The Tigers took their first
real infield practice since the Chicago
game and had lively time. O'Leary
showed up In gratifying form at short
stop and delighted Manager Jennings
by the way he handled himself.
A novel feature of the proceedings
outside the field was the presence OF
about 500 boys In the line convergine
on the box Office None OF them had
any money of their own but were
easily hired by late-comers to pur
chase them tickets. The regular rate
for the service was half-dollar, this
being the reward OF the Juveniles who
had stood in line since daybreak.
