WHO WILL RUN WITH TAFTa
Vice Presidential Situation a Puzzle
 at Chicago.

Chicago, June 1.-The vice presi- dential situation continued Monday to mairtain it's pazzling position It has D 'e1ented new aspect for almost egSry horr Of the day, but at no time has it shown a disposition to become less complicat ed.
 Senator Deliver has Monday, as for some time past, been the center of the complication and it i. generally admitted that there will be no solution until he is either nominated or entire ly eliminated from the equation. In | the early hours of the morning it looked as if the Iowa senator was out of the race, but when, soon afterward, the news came from Washington that there had been a declaration from thi White House that the candidate for the second place must come from Iowa the boom was given a renewal of life and the senator's friends were willing to say his nomination was assured The Washington news vas apparent ly without effect on the Iowa friends of Senator Deliver who do not want him to accept place on the ticket and they refused to attach much sig nificance to the Washington pro nouncement. The Deliver boomers gave just as little heed to letter of their favorite in which he authorized the delegation to withdraw his name if it should be presented.
 All told, therefore. the developments in the Deliver candidacy were not sat isfactory and it was generally con ceded that Senator Long, who is still the champion of the Iowa senator, had spoken correctly when he expressed the opinion that time would be neces- sary to solve the Deliver problem.
 The announcement that the presi- dent would ask that Gov. Cummins be nominated if Senator Deliver should not be, aroused interest, but the mem bers of the Allison-Dolliver faction would not for a moment consider this contingency.
 If Senator Deliver should be elimi- hated the contest as now presented would lie between Vice President Fairbanks and Representative Sher- man of New York, and both received much encouragement during the day. It was stated on behalf of Mir. Fair banks that if nominated he would not accent

4 FATAL AUTO R|DE
MACHINE PLUNGEs OFF OF PIER INTO NORTH RIVER AT
 NEW YORK.
FOUR OF THE OCCUPANTS ARE CROWNED
Vehicle Turned Over In It's Leap, Holding the Four Victims, Three
 Women and One Man, Fast in Their Seats-chauffeur, After Notifying Relatives, Surrenders to the Police.

New York, June 17.--Four persons were drowned Monday night when an automobile carrying a pleasure party of six became unmanageable, shot at wild speed down West F'ifty-sixth street and bounded from an open pier into the North river. The machine turned over in it's plunge from the pier, holding the four victims fast in their seats. The dead: Adeline Der den, age 19 years; Mrs. Rose Cole. man, age 25 years; John Coleman, age 8 years; Virginia Coleman, age 8 years. John Bauer, the chauffeur. was carried into the river with the machine, but managed to free himself and swin to safety John Nolan, one of the party, jumped from the run away machine as it neared the end of the dock Bauer was taken into custody by the police.
 After taking his employer home Monday night Bauer invited his friends for a pleasure ride. With the party he ran the machine down Fifty sixth street at fair speed, intending to go out on the dock In some man ner the brake failed to work and the machine began to skid. Down on the dock it flew and Nolan leaped just in time The four victims were carried down into the water and though two young men who were standing on the dock at the time made repeated eff forts to rescue the drowning persons by diving for them, they were unable to do so. The body of Mrs. Coleman was recovered shortly before midnight.
 After swimming to the pier Bauer went to the relatives Of the four drowned persons and notified them of the accident. He then surrendered himself to the police.

PANAMA IS WARNED
PRESIDENT AMlDoR TOLD THAT ELECTIONS IN THAT REPUR.
 Llc MUST BE FAIR.
UNITED STATES MAY HAVE TO INTERVENE
No Fraud Like That in Election of Two Years Ago to Be Permitted by America-lnterests of This Country Demand an Honest EIecton-- Troops to Be There.

Washington, June 13.-In language that can not be mistaken the exact text of which was made public by the war department Thursday the presi. dent and Secretary Taft have notified the Panama government that elections in that republic must be conducted fairly. The circumstances attending this warning were given out for pub lication as if in preparation for active intervention on the part of the United States by the use of whatever force shall be necessary to make it effective.
 Secretary Taft in a letter delivered to President Amador in person and dated May 12, suggests that two years ago when charges of fraud were made concerning the congressional election at Panama it was not thought best to do more than to urge fairness in the administration of election laws.
 Some very weighty evidence was adduced," he continues, 'to show that there were many who had been de. prived of their constitutional right to vote in that election, and there was much evidence of violence and repeat. ing by the police in the cities of Pan ana, Colon and elsewhere. No active intervention however, was attempted by the United States government It was hoped that the irregularities of the last election were due merely to the fact that the election laws were new, the republic was young and that more important election like the presidential election to follow, greater care would be taken to preserve the rights of the citizens
 The interest of the United States in the fairness of the elections of the republic is manifest The United States guarante es the integrity of the republic and this involves recogni ton by it of the lawful government If fraud is to intervene in the election so that a dispute arises as to who are the lawful. elected authorities then it becomes necessary for the United States, in the discharge of its treaty and constitutional duty, to de
 
 officers, in order that it may recog nize them and deal with them as such The United States can not look upor any election which is not conducted on fair lines and is likely to lead tc violence with anything but the ut most concern, and it has a direct In terest In case of threatened fraud fl an election to interfere to prevent il and in case the fraud is carried out, tc intervene to prevent the succession oi those officials in whose election there was not the free choice of the people
 After reciting some of the specific charges of fraud he suggested that the registration lists should again be opened in order that voters should not be deprived of the right to cast their ballots.
 Tt goes without saying he added that the United States will be most reluctant to intervene in the internal affairs of the republic of Panama, but for the reasons 1 have given, should the occasion arise. do not see how 1t can be avoided"
