Commissioner Mcfarland Asks for
Report Upon Complaint From
Labor Union In Scott Case.

Commissioner Mcfarland has called
upon the secretary Of the board Of char
tiles Of the District to investigate and re-
port upon the complaint made by the
members Of Painters Paperhangers and
Decorators Local Union No. 1853 that 6
surgeon from the Emergency Hospital
jured while working in the Post Office
Department building yesterday.
1t Is charged that the surgeon did not
get the wounded man to the hospital as
| soon as he ought, and that when he was
told the man was probably dying he said.
II don't care IL he Is
Harry Scott is the injured man. It has
| since developed that his injury is not Sc.
rious and that he will recover. He was

the Offices Of the post Office building

knocking him to the floor. He was I'M
conscious and bleeding when picked up
by one of his fellow workmen. A physi-
clan In the building was summoned and
call sent to the Emergency Hospital.
Fail to Specify in Call.
There was some delay occasionsd by
confusion caused in the call. The am.
bulance stopped In front Of the post office
and the surgeon rushed into the building
and searched without finding the injured
man. Several spectators and a police OH.
Ger followed him and were unsuccessful
In finding out where the accident had &C.
CURED. The captain OF the watch joined
in the search, and made the remark that
the accident should have been reported to
him SO that the surgeon could be imme-
diately taken to the spot.
While the surgeon was looking through
the building, SCOTS fellow workmen took
him cut of the 18th street side Of the
building and a few seconds later the
surgeon appeared.
The surgeon. who has asked that his
name be withheld. said today that he did
not think the matter would bother him
or the Emergency Hospital officials. Ac-
cording to him. ambulance surgeons meet
with the same difnculty in locating in
5ured men In nearly every government
building and frequently have to search
the entire building before . trace OF an

GARDEN CITY. L. l., September TO-
The mastery playing OF Travers and
Travis, the present and former cham
pions, in the semi-final round of the ma
tional golf championship tournament yes
terday had much to do with bringing a
record crowd to the links today to wit
ness play in the final and decisive round.
Jerome D. Travers, winner of the cham
pionship last year, was today called upon
to defend his title against Max H. Behr
of the Morris County Club. the other
winner in yesterdays semi-final round.
Every condition favored high-class golf
today. The weather was almost perfect
and the links were at their best. Travers
had the honor at the start, but he sliced
his tee shot into the sand pit and in get
ting out his ball went into the rough.
Behr had better luck and was within a
foot Of the hole on his third shot. The
champion halved the hole, however, by
running down a seven-foot putt and then
won the second hole in three to four.

Senator Foraker was scheduled to speak
upon that occasion on the same platform
with Mr.. Taft.
Special Dispatch to The Star.
CINCINNATI, Ohio. September 10
The further correspondence between
Standard Oil and Senator Foraker, made
public last night by .lr. Hearst in St.
Louis, has put the republican national
headquarters here deeper in the dumps.
and some definite action Is looked for
from Mr.. Taft Or his aids before the day
Is over. There is little doubt now that
the republican candidate will not appear
on the same platform with the senator
here next Tuesday and it is likely that
information to that effect will be con-
veyed to Foraker before the day is over.
The senator has already told his friends
that If Mr. Taft considers his presence
at that meeting an embarrassment to
him he had only to say the word and
he would withdraw.
Would Mean Open Break
Such action would, of course, mean an
other open break between the senator
and Mr. Taft, but that, in the opinion
of Mr.. Tafts friends, is bound to come
now. Foraker. they say, will be dropped
from the Taft camp. and the only thing
to be considered is how it may best be
accomplished
Senator Charles Dick, Foraker's col
league, is here today apparently acting
as go-between for the Taft and the
Foraker people. Dick entered into con-
ference with Arthur I. Vorys, Mr.. Taft's
chief of staff, early this morning, and
he Will probably go to see the senator
later in the day.
Even II Senator Foraker does with
draw from the meeting next Tuesday,
Mr.. Taft is likely to have an embar-
RAISING time there. The Ohio branch of
the League of Republican Clubs is a
Foraker organization, and there is al
most certain to be demonstration in
the senator's behalf. whether he is there
or not. Mr.. Taft does not want to take
any notice Of this Foraker situation
personally. but it is pretty certain that
! 1t will intrude itself at Tuesdays meet
| ing.
Effect Of Archbold Letters.
Ohio republicans generally admit that
the Archbold letters are going to have
tremendous effect on the Ohio situa-
! ton. Not only do they give the sena-
tors chances for reelection g. black
| eye, but they afford the democrats of
| the state an issue which they are onlv
too glad to grasp. The republicans up
to this time have had the democrats
tied to the wet side of the liquor cues
to unlimber their guns and force the
G. 0. p. into discussion of Standard
Oil dominance in Ohio.
The letters which Mr.. Hearst gave out
at st. Louis last night were written
after Senator Foraker had been elected

but the French contracts are important
and he may stay to close them.
II would be possible for the Wrights to
complete their contract with this govern

Mr.. Wright's achievements won the ed-

of the whole country. but until the War

followed.

Gently discussed the danger Of such an
apparatus as that used by Wright on the
machine that proved fatal to Lieut.. Self
ridge, said DR.. Bell. and had concluded
that the duplicate shafts employed on 1t
were wrong In principle: that two pro-
pellers on the same shaft constituted the
proper idea.
Had the Wright machine had its pro-
peilers on one shaft the accident could
not have happened.
In case one of the propellers broke the
other would carry it forward at greatly
reduced speed. With Wright. the remain
