JUMPS FROM ENGINE;
SAVES DROWNING BOY
Stops Fast Express In Quick Time,
Leaps from Cab Into River and
Rescues Lad as Latter.
Is Dying
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
CHICAGO, June 25.-A dispatch to
the Tribune from Fond du Lac, Wis,
says: Bringing his fast express train
to a sudden stop to leap from his cab
and plunge into the waters of Mud
creek. Engineer j. A. lyman. by a quick
swim and dive, achieved a thrilling res
cue of a drowning boy yesterday.
lyman Is a passenger engineer on the
Wisconsin Central, and when approach
ing Mud creek, near Hilbert junction, on
his run from Manitowoc to Neenah, he
caught sight of the lad seated midway
on the bridge, fishing, wholly oblivious
to the approaching train. There was an
instant closing of the throttle and an
application OF the air, but before the
train could be stopped the bridge had
been passed. The boy, in his fright.
either jumped into the water or was
swept off by the train.
When lyman leaped from his engine
the little fellow was struggling in the
stream below, absolutely helpless. The
engineer plunged down the bank into
the water, wading, swimming and final
ly diving to reach the boy, and emerg-
ing a few moments later with his vic
tim almost exhausted.
The boy, whose identity could not be
learned, was placed on the train and
taken to Collins and turned over to the
care of a physician, while lyman. after
finishing his run at Fond du Lac, re-
ported the affair in a perfunctory way
to his superior.

SON OF PRESIDENT
TO WORK ONLY AS
COMMON LABORER
Theodore Roosevelt, Jr, Will Take
Chances with Other Miners and
Rise or Fall on Merits,
Says Loeb
b. Associated Press.

b. Associated Press.
OYSTER BAY, L. l., June 25.-Secre-
tary Loeb has made public a statement
in reference to the published report
that the presidents son, Theodore
Roosevelt. jr., intended entering the
employ of the United States Steel cor
poration.
The statement indicates that the
presidents son may not continue his
studies at Harvard. the statement OIL
Secretary Loeb follows: :.
1.-THE statement as regards it's impii-
cation is a pure falsehood. John Green
way, who was in the presidents regi-
ment, has told young Roosevelt that
he will try him on Job simply as one
of the ordinary miners and exactly as
he tries hundreds of others every year.
and is trying hundreds this year.
Young Roosevelt is at this moment
off seeing IL there is a chance at an
other Job where he was told he might
get employment, having given up going
on the Mayfower to the boat races for
the purpose of looking up this particu-
lar place, which Is in connection with
a we'll known manufacturing concern.
He probably will not decide for two or
three months which particular place he
will try.
Except for the publication in the
newspapers, neither the president nor
young Roosevelt knows that the COM
pany for which Greenway Is superin-
tendent, has any connection either di-
rectly or indirectly with the Steel cor
poration. If 1t has, 1t will, of course,
make no difference. Young Roosevelt,
IL he goes into 1t, will be hired as a
laborer and stand or fall strictly on his
own merits.
"The president does not know whether
Mr.. Greenway's company has any con-
nection with the steel trust, but he
knows Mr.. Greenway well, and knows
that not all of the officials of the steel
trust could persuade him to put on or
keep off single man unless 1t met
with his approval. This offer was
purely of Mr.. Grenway's own volition.
and the president does not believe a
human being connected with the steel
company knew anything about 1t.
1.-THE statement that young Roosevelt
accompanied several officers Of the
steel company on an inspection Of the
works last summer is false. He went
out to visit Mr.. Greenway and 1t was
at that time that Mr.. Greenway offered
to take him on and try him as laborer
as any one else IL tried"

BRYAN TO WIN
FIRST BALLOT
so SAYS TOM TAGGART AT
DENVER
LAUNCHES VICE PRESIDENTIAL
BOOM FOR KERN
Declares the Indiana Man viii Be
Nebraskan's Running Mate With
out Doubt - Compliments Fine
Convention Arrangements
BY Associated Press

BY Associated Press
DENVER, Colo. June 25.-Thomas
Taggart, chairman of the national
Democratic committee, came to town
today, bringing along a vice presiden-
tial boom. which he put forth with
much enthusiasm.
Bryan will be nominated on the first
ballot, without a doubt, and his run
ming mate will be John w. Kern OF
Indiana. Mr.. Kern will be placed in
nomination by John q: Lamb or 3. T.
Schively, both of that state. and his
nomination ought to follow"
This was the greeting Mr.. Taggart
gave to the 'newspapermen. A little
later when he had been whizzed to the
Auditorium-the convention hall-he
exhibited little less enthusiasm.
"The arrangements for the conven-
ton are fine" he said. II cannot see
how they could be improved upon. The
auditorium is a wonderful piece of
architecture and everything seems to
be in such excellent shape"
Meeting Is Called
Chairman Taggart has called a meet
ing of the national committee for Sat-
urday, July 4, when the principal
business will be to hear and determine
the contests for seats as delegates,
which have been filed.
There are comparatively few in num-
Der. So far as filed with Secretary
Woodson, they include contests from
the Second, Third. Fourth, Fifth,
Sixth and Seventh New York districts;
the Ninth Ohio, and the delegation
from the District of Columbia.
1t has been stated that number
of seats from Illinois were to be con-
tested, but as yet no official notice
of such intention has been received.
The committeeman and the ladies of
their party have accepted an invita-
ton to go up into the mountains Sum
day on the Moffatt road.
A conference between Chairman Tag
CART and other members of the national
committee was held tonight, when 1t
was decided that consideration Of con-
tests would begin Monday, July 6, the
day before the convention opens.
Chairman Taggart explained that but
little time would be required to decide
contests. as they were small in number
and would be disposed of quickly.
Chairman Taggart was asked as to
his ambition with regard to succeed
ing himself as chairman of the ma
tional committee. He replied with con-
siderable emphasis:
''I know I will not be chairman"
U,,rthar than thiS he declinedN TO 90.

SHERMAN CONTINUES
TO IMPROVE SLOWLY
PHYSICIAN NOW CONFIDENT OF
RECOVERY
Vice Presidential Nominee Passes a
Comfortable Day and May Leave
the Hospital Next Monday.
Now Normal
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
CLEVELAND, O., June 25.-An Of
ficial statement was issued by DR.. Car
ter at 10 o'clock tonight. 1t says:
Mr.. Sherman has had a very COM
Portable day. His general condition is
most satisfactory. We look for a
speedy recovery. as the patient is hour
ly improving. After conference with
Mr.. Sherman this evening, DR.. Allen,
DR.. Stone and myself believe Mr.. Sher-
man will be sufficiently recovered from
his attack to leave the hospital for his
home on Monday of next week. His
temperature is now 1914 and pulse 72,
respiration 2S-practically normal"
Thus far no alarming conditions have
resulted. The highest point reached in
the congressman temperature during
last night was 101.6. This was 1.2 de-
grees less than the maximum reached
on Tuesday.
During most of the night the temper
ature did not rise beyond two degrees
above normal.
The doctor still adheres to the opin-
ion that the congressman should un-
dergo an operation for gallstones as
soon as he regains his strength, as the
only means to effect an absolute cure.
