carry on their propaganda. No man
is better suited to do the cementing
than is Senator Crane. He is a Re
publican OF high standing and Is a
trust magnate. His interests lie with
those who are monopolsts and with
the trusts. II ther is now anything
lacking to bring these forces strong
~ in line for Taft with the immense
power of their wealth to be placed
at the disposal Of the Republicans,
Senator Crane is the man who can
turn the trick. He will be OF InvaA,
nable assistance. getting further $25,-
600 contributions from the Mofgans,
Rockefellers. DuPonts, Harrimans,
Cromwells, Sheldons, and others who
in return for defraying Republican
campaign expenses want special bene-
fits in the way of favored legislation.
The Republican manageTs appear
10 know what they want, and that
they win be able to get is
through the instrumentality of Sen-
atoT Crane. Immediately following
the enlistment OF Senator Crane as
chief of the committee which is to
advise Chairman Hitchcock, the an
nOuncement was made that the Re
publican campaign would henceforth
be pressed with new vigor. and that
there would be things doing. The
new vigor is to be prodouced by the
fund which Senator Crane is to raise
from the protected trusts interests.
As under the Republican program
these campaign contributions are not
to be published until after the election
it will be perfectly safe for them to
come forward with liberal subscrip-
ticns.
Senator Cranes unfamiliarity wns
the people in the west and the fact
that he is not generally known to the
public. will not handicap him in the
least. 1t is not with the average
citizen that he will seek to deal. His
friends are in Wall street. some of
His confidants may be found at No. 26
Z Wall street. the home Of the STANDARD
! Oil, and it is with such of these that
he will do business. Senator Crane
is a quiet man but it is money that
talks and ne may be able to make a
vcciferous demonstration as advisor
to the chairman of the Republican ma
tiOnal committee.
When Judge William II. Taft, rlv
Republican candidate FOR the presi
dency. undertook his western speak
ing tour, he was accompanied D.
three trained newspaper men. who
are on the pay roll of the Rpublicar
national committee. - This is the frs
instance in the history of the Repub
lie that a candidate for the great of
flee of president has felt the necessI
ty of having attached to him the moo
! ern press agent. The fact that judge
Taft mas on his train three newspa
per men, who are supposed to lool
after the publicity end of this west
ern trip. is indicative of the extremi
ty in which he finds himself. Ther'
is a striking contrast in the campaign
of the great men who have aspiret
to the presidency in the past, ant
that of the Republican candidate this
iyear. George Washington ana all nj
immediate successors reached the To'
ing public on horseback. Look at tn

Before entering upon his first cam

Fire Stops Every Train in the East
River Tube.

New York, March 17.-For nearly
an hour today a train that was filled
with passengers was stalled in the
tunnel under the East river while a
fire ragged in the Fulton street station
under lower Broadway. Binding
flashes of electricity sent the en-
ployes in the station scurrying to the
surface and the cloud of dense, blind
ing smoke which began to drift north
and south in the tunnel caused an
instant and prolonged suspension of
traffic.
The fire started from a short cir
cult in the third rail at the Fulton
street station and in moment the
wooden box which incloses the rail
was in flames. The grease soaked
wood burned freely and threw off an
immense quantity of smoke. It was
not until the current in the whole
system south of 96th street had been
shut off that f1remen who had been
summoned were able to make any
progress in their fight against the fire.
In the meantime every train in that
long section of the subway was for a
time at a standstill
The guards locked the doors in or
der to prevent the passengers leaving
the train and hazarding their lives on
the third rail.
Some time was required to repair
the damage but the line was clear
when the down town morning rush
began.

IT CAN GO ANYWHERE.
All Battleship Fleet Asks Is Plenty
of Coal

Magdalena Bay, via San Diego, Cal,
March 1.-THE trip from Hampton
Roads to Magdalena bay has demon
strated that the Atlantic fleet can go
to any part of the world if coal is pro-
vided," declared Captain R. r. Inger-
soil. chief of staff to Rear Admiral
Evans today when asked for a state
ment by the Associated Press. Upon
Captain Ingersoll devolved large por-
ton of the work of executing the
cruise.
1.-THE plans which were formulated
last August" he continued, for the
coaling on the present cruise, provide
for the use of so tons per steaming
mile. Then there was added eight adj
ditional tons daily for various neces-
sary allowances. We have found that
We were able to keep well within this
estimate and maintain the 10 knots
speed. The arrangements for coalfng at
all of our various stops have been car
ried out and the prearranged plans
have proved entirely adequate.
The supply ship loads and the pro-
visions for the fleet were computed
at the same time as was the coal es-
innate and submitted to the depart
ment. These have worked out to per-
lection
THE trip has demonstrated that the
Atlantic fleet can go to any part of
the world if coal is provided. The rest
will be easy"
1t is likely that the fleet will leave
here between April and April TO-

DrGGERs STRUCK A ROCK.
Completion of Tube 'A' Is Delayed
Another Day.

New York, March 1.-THE last Of
the four Pennsylvania railroad tun-
nels under the East river between
Manhattan and Long Island City is
expected to be cut through some time
today The engineers IN charge Of
the excavations of tube al as the
tunnel is known, had expected to
bore through the remaining wall Of
earth yesterday, but rock was en-
countered and the boring became
more difficult than had been antici-
pated.
The nerves of the big force at
work on the Long Island side of the
excavation were keyed up all day as
they expected any minute to get
through the rock and have smooth
sailing through the sand and earth
which would then separate them from
the Manhattan end of the tube.
There will be a celebration among
the workmen when this last of the
four tunnels is cut through. Engin-
GERS in charge of the work say that
fewer accidents have happened in the
boring of these tubes than amy of the
others beneath the East or the North
rivers.
The Pennsylvania tubes are the
largest tunnels under the river. They
are each % feet in diameter from
the outside walls. When the iron
casing are fitted, they will be twenty
feet in diameter
