broad brimmed panama hat.
Before entering church the President shook
hands with number of his old acquaintance
and doffed his hat to the crowd of strangers

their mail. When the President is away from
Oyster Bay the office is locked up tight on the
Sabbath, and residents can neither receive nor
send mail between Saturday night and MONDAY

Asatic Exclusion League Congressman E. A.
Hayes had delivered a message from President
Roosevelt that he still trying for Japanese

President saying: Il am sending to Japan
the sharpest correspondence any nation ever re-
ceived. If I cannot get what l want by diplo-
macy I will by exclusion legislation Congress
man Hayes tonight said:
Newspaper accounts have evidently inaccu-
rately reported my statement
Three CIR four days before the last session of
Congress closed l the President and said to
him that my people had been expecting exclusion
legislation, which had been prevented for the
time by the efforts to make diplomacy effective
in the matter, and asked him what I should say
to them upon my return to California. He said
that l could tell them that the President has
been doing the best he could in the matter, and
thinks he has it in good shape. I want,
said the President, to give Jan every oppor-
tunty to carry out its pledges. If l cannot sue
ceed through diplomacy in protecting the peo-
pie of the Pacific Coast l will unite with them
in helping to secure the enactment of exclu-
sion law

London, June 21.-The woman's suffrage dem
onstration in Hyde Park to-day was remarkably
successful. Encouraged by previous gatherings,
the suffragettes planned to-days demonstration

much to say that no such political demonstra-
ton has been seen in London.
Fully half a million people assembled in and
around Hyde Park as active passive partici-
pants in the great meeting For three
hours in the middle of the day, the whole centre
Of the city was in a ferment. Various process
sions appeared, each about mile long, and the
routes through which these passed were crowded
with spectators The management showed great
ability for organization.
The suffragettes from the provinces were met
at the various railroad stations by delegations
from the London organization. and these form
ing into line. marched from different points of
the compass to Hyde Park. Arriving there the
leaders and speakers for the various sections
had TO fight their way to the platforms.
There were about twenty speakers, and these
harangued the masses on the rights of women
TO vote and the necessity of forcing Parliament
10 adopt a resolution on the question Almost
all the suffragettes white gowns, with
sashes of their colors. green. white and purple,
inscribed. Votes for Women" and the scene
viewed from the platforms a feast of color.
There was much good humored chatting and
singing of songs in the vicinity of the platforms.
and on this account the speeches practically
inaudihle
Considerable scuffiing and rowdyism occurred
around the platform occupied by Mrs. Park
hurst, the leader of the suffragettes. and the
trouble finally became serious TO call for
reinforcements of police Thirty persons were
treated for slight injuries a result of the
crowding and fighting in this neighborhood
Similar scenes were enacted around Mrs. Mar
tels platform, and, owing to the general noisy
interrl1ptions few of the speakers were able to
get hearings.
The attitude of the onlcokers was one of
amused tolerance. Ambulances were kept busy
dealing with cases of fainting and minor in
juries. owing the great pressure of the crowds.
but no serious accidents occurred.

T4FTvS NARROW ESCAPE
Tozoermans Prompt Action AUerts
accident to p. r. r. Flyer.

Dennison. Ohio June 2I.-Secretary Taft had
narrow escape tonight from being involved in
serious wreck on the Pennsylvania flyer. which
was carrying him East. Prompt action of the
towerman in a signal station a third of a mile
east of Coshocton and of the engineer of the
flyer averted what might have been bad acct
dent.
AS the train speeding along at the rate of
fifty miles hour the piston rod on the left
side of the locomotive broke short off. In
stantly, almost, the cylinder of the engine was
cracked by the manageable rod. The train
was just approaching signal tower east of
Coshocton The operator that something
serious was wrong and threw down a signal to
stop the train. The engineer applied the emer
gency brakes. and the train of six cars came 10
stop a sharp curve.
The accident occurred at $50 o'clock as many
of the passengers on the train were at dinner in
the dining car. Few of them realized how mar
row their escape had been from accident
Secretary Taft and National Committeeman
Kellogg entered the dining and sat down to
dinner after the accident occurred without
thought of anything serious in connection with
the stopping delay of the train.
The Secretary made no comment on the Incl
dent when informed of it. The engineer of the
locomotive explained that it merely good
luck that averted bad accident
IF the piston rod after it broke had gone un-
der the train,' said he I'VE would have gone into
the ditch running fifty miles hour
and the derailment would have been a serious
matter. Fortunately the broken rod landed four
six inches outside the left rail That saved us.
TIL towerman Immediately sent message TO
DennfsOn for another locomotive, and after a
delay of about hour the locomotive arrived
and the flyer proceeded it's way East.

Members OF Congress have evinced

claim. IL unsatisfactory.
Why Congress Still ciinss.
Accordingly. iefore Congress ad-
journed this last time, the speaker
and HIS 'lieutenants got together ana
decided that, as waterway improve
ments and exploitation are great
things and especially great In helping
the party which makes them. 1t would
be a good thing for Congress to cnhg
to It's own rights In the matter. That
Is why this subcommittee has mapped
out a plan which, II carried out. Will
gradually absorb all the functions OF
the Presidents inland waterways
commission. This is also why the SUD
committee will accompany the House
committee on appropriations to Pana-
ma Immediately after the election
next November. The committee on
, appropriations goes to inspect the
ground and see where and how ap,
preparations are needed. This new
subcommittee will 20 along to see II
any other legislation affecting the ca
nal IL needed.
Indisputably, the subcommittee
means TO get on the Job and stay
there. It believes 1t can do every
thing that is possible to be done Tor
the inland waterways. and 1t rehsheS
this idea more than II does the plan
Of sitting supinely by and letting thr
inland waterways commission do all
the talking and get all the patting Oh
the back.
1t would seem that the new scheme
promises much more for the water
ways. for the subcommittee Is part
OF Congress. while the inland water
ways commission Is primarily com
e, ssicn without power to do anything
but advise, plan and advocate.
