The Bryan Gonpers boycott

Bryan's tariff plan would de-
stroy honest business with the

TAF1's PANAMA MISSION
A SERIES OF SATISFACTORY CON
FERENcEs HELD.
Troublesome Diplomatic Questions A.
fectIng the Canal Zone Prae-
tically Settled.

Panama, May 11.-Every since his
arrival here Secretary Taft has been
busy holding conferences with Presi'
dent Amador, Foreign Secretary Arias
Senior Arrange, the Panama minister to
the United States, Mr.. Squiers, the
American minister to Panama, and
William Nelson Cromwell, the legal
advisor of the Panama Canal COM
pany. The conferences were con
cluded Sunday. They covered num-
erous topics relating to the treaty
which it is desired to negotiate be-
tween Colombia, the United States and
Panama.
While details are lacking it is stated
that a tentative accord has been
reached upon important points and
that decision with reference to the
others only awaits special inquiry now
in progress. The result of the con-
ferences, 1t is announced, is satisfac-
tory to all parties concerned.
Columbia's recent seizure Of the
town Of Jurado on the frontier,
involved in the general boundary
question between the two countries,
has been fully considered. The
Panama government has agreed to the
suggestion made by Mr.. Taft to with
hold all action until the secretary Of
war has had an opportunity personally
to confer with President Roosevelt
and Secretary OF State Root.
One Of the most important questions
affecting the canal zone has been to
determine the titles OF individual occu-
pants of lands in the zone and the
value of lands appropriated for canal
uses. Until now adjustment had been
impossible, but a solution has been
reached by which an arbitration
tribunal will be constituted under the
existing treaty. This tribunal VIII
have the power to determine all CUES
tons as to valuations and legal titles.
II will be composed Of two citizens Of
the United States and two citizens OF
Panama with Gov. Magoon Of Cuba
as umpire.
Secretary Taft expects to conclude
bis business relative to the canal ad'
mlnistratIon and inspection Monday
and will sail for the United States on
Tuesday morning.

GIRLS SWEPT OVER A Dam
-FOUR DROWNED IN NEosHO
RIVER At HARTFORD, KAN.
A Gasoline Launch Became UnmaEf

by the Swift Current.

Emporia, Kan, May 11.-Four girls
Elma Webster, aged IS years, Edith
Webster, aged 10, Grace Lyle, aged
16 and Bessie Lawrence, aged 20, were
drowned in the Neosho river at Hart
ford, IL miles southeast Of Emporia
at midnight Friday night. In company
with Kate Griffith, Mary Griffith, Car
rol Lyle, Emil Steinhouse and How
ard Lyon, they were cruising in q
gasoline launch. When. the party was
short distance above the dam at the
Hartford mill, the supply Of gasoline
gave out and the engine went dead.
Steinhouse, who was acting as en-
gineer, couldn't swim. Lyons got out
of the boat and endeavored to turn It
and run 1t ashore, but his strength
gave out and the launch, with all Its
occupants, yielding to the swift cur.
rent, swept over the dam. Lyons res
cued Mary Griffith and Carol Lyle,
while Kate Griffith foated down the
river some distance and was rescued
by a passer-by attracted by her
screams.
Bessie Lawrence and Grace Lyle

AT GUINNESS farm
MORE THAN 10000 sloHTsEERS
VISITED THE PLACE OF
DEATH SUNDAY.
WAS LIKE 4 COUNTRY FAIR
All Roads Led to Late Home Of NO
torious Widow Who Lured Vic
tins With Matrimonial
Advertisements.

LaPorte, Ind, May 11.-All roads In
LaPorte county led to the Guinness
farm Sunday, upwards of $4,000 sight
seers visiting the place Of death be-
fore the sun set. Practically every
able-bodied resident Of this city made
the trip and the railroads and trolley
lines brought about 1000 more to the
city. ...
Mayor barrow found 1t necessary to
issue stringent orders that the Sunday
closing laws should be strictly In
forced and the hotels and restaurants
were overrun with patrons. Practical
ly every conveyance in the town was
pressed into service in an attempt to
provide transportation for the crowds.
In the afternoon these proved insult
ficient and late corners we're forced to
make their way to the place on foot.
Investigation of the case by the au-
thorities halted, the sheriff and other
officials who went to the farm being
compelled to become mere spectators
also. Several of the olt.of-town Wis
itors, however, were seeking informa-
ton concerning missing friends or rela'
tives and some further information
regarding the possible identity OF the
unknown victims Of the farm resulted
from their inquiries.
The most definite information came
from Olaf Lindboe OF Chicago. He
said that his brother Thomas worked
for Mrs. Guinness three years ago and
that the last letter which he had from
him contained the information that
Thomas intended to marry his EN-.
ployer. Olaf wrote to the woman
little later and she replied that Thomas
Lindboe had gone to st. Louis and
that she had had no word from him.
Olaf Lindboe viewed the unidentified
corpses, but was unable to find any
likeness to his brother in the decayed
bundles of bones and flesh.
The crowds began arriving in La
Porte when the first trains from the
east arrived shortly after five o'clock
in the morning. Nearly 100 passengers
from Elkhart, Mishawaka, South Bend,
New Carlisle, Rolling Prairie and 9th
er towns debarked from the coaches
and formed the advance guard Of the
army which invaded the Guinness prop
erty during the day. Another train
from the same points brought in near
ly 200 more spectators three hours
later and at ten O'Clock, at eleven
O'Clock and at half past one over a
thousand more reached here from the
same towns. II was reported that
more than 500 tickets to LaPorte had
been sold in Elkhart alone.
Another large crowd came from In

villages and hamlets on an excursion
train over the Lake Erie & Western
railroad. This train consisted Of
eight coaches and Il is estimated that
It's passengers numbered over 800.
The strangers had no difficulty in
finding their way to the death farm.

Lifts, G. A. Rogers, G. G. Huffman
w. W. Davis treasurer Of the Com
mercial club) and the others, take SO
much interest in giving the city good
streets that they are willing to con-
tribute to direct movement in that
direction. They should also have
some share in the compliments that
are being passed around.
1t is so much better to see citizens
and city officials aggressively come to
the front and lead in such things than
to have them hang back and hinder
the progress of the city through mac
ton or action too long deferred to be
effective.
Mr.. Coulson says that as council
man he has labored faithfully with
the mayor and street commissioner
for two years begging them to drag
the streets but the work has Jagged.
He has as chairman Of the street and
alley committee ordered the work
done and still nothing happened.
Rarely has the drag been brought out
and then such a poor job was done
that it became common comment
that country roads leading to the city
were much better than the streets OF
town. This it was that led him and
the other citizens to take this radical
action.
The Chronicles sarcastic reference
to the streets not being worse than in
some previous time Of the city's his
tory was probably generally sPPre-
ciated. What Abilene wants is streets
that are better than they have been in
the past-it is not enough to say that
they are 'nO worse"

A HIGH COMPLIMENT.
Councilman COulson Given Credit
for Good Street Movement.

The Chronicle last evening PAID a
high compliment to Councilman \
E. Coulson, the energetic and popular
alderman from the Fourth ward, one
that win be appreciated BY the whole
city. 1t gives him entire credit Tor
the movement last week that resulted
In the finest streets the city has seen
in months and within three days OF
the heaviest rain Of spring. Every
body praised the good work done BY
the road drags and the Chronicle says
Mr.. Coulson was entirely responsible.
Mr.. Coulson was last month reelected
as councilman in the Fourth ward by
one of the largest majorities ever
given in the city which is indication
Of how his constituents appreciate his
public-spiritedness, and 1t must be
pleasing to the citizens Of that ward
to see that the whole city acknowl-
edges his good work.
1t is scarcely fair, however, for the
Chronicle to slight the others who
were associated with Mr.. Coulson in
giving the city good streets, He was
but one Of a long long list. The
heading of the paper and entire list OF
contributors whose names appeared
thereon was:
FOR STREET IMPROVEMENT.
We, the undersigned, agree to give
the amounts opposite our names to
improve the streets Of Abilene by the
nse OF harrow and drag. For once we
would like to see good streets:
