the elimination Of a romance which nad
it's beginning a few weeks ago when Col.
Jones was a patient at the Waukesha
Springs sanitarium, where his bride Of
today, was a trained nurse. She nursed
him through his illness and an attach
ment sprang up between the couple
which ripened into love and ended III

Mass of Correspondence Demands Atten-

Replies.
HE HAS SIGNED 1900 LETTERS.

HOT SPRINGS, Va, July 6.-When
William H Taft arose today he more
than ever realized what a difficult task
it is to be a candidate for the presi-
dency and to attempt to secure rest even
amid the isolation of the mountains OF
Virginia. Early this morning dozen
big boxes of records were delivered to
his office and his, secretary superintendent
the work of arranging the contents in
the file room where they will be accessl-
BILE during the next two months. A mass
of correspondence is coming to him, ne
cessitating his personal attention and
the dictation of many letters. But in
sisting upon dividing his time between
work and recreation, he accepted chal-
lenge of Frank B. Kellogg for another
game of golf on the mountain links.
Will Ride His Horse.
hereafter he will alternate golf with
riding over the mountain paths. He is a
sufficient friend Of his big horse to ride
only every other day, believing that
to use the animal more frequently would
be absolute cruelty.
Mr.. Taft feels that he is a subject for
congratulation because he has signed
all Of his Acknowledgements to letters Of
congratulation received after his nomi-
QaLlOn. ne Drought over AoOO Va kASA

Meets Senator Crane.
This afternoon he had another confer
ence with Senator Crane who expects
to leave here tonight, accompanied by
Representative Lawrence of Massa-
chusetts, who came with him. Mr..
Cranes visit has set at rest suggestions
that he will be enlisted in the active
work of the campaign in any important
way.
Talk Indiana Trouble.
Senator Beveridge of Indiana, and Rep
resentative Mckinley of Illinois, had an
interesting discussion today with Mr..
Taft. Senator Beveridge's talk con-
cerned the difficulties stirred up in his
state by the action of the convention as
to the Fairbanks delegates, and McKin-
ley concerning the treasurership of the
national committee. The coming Of Sena-
tor Beveridge a day ahead Of Senator
Hemenway and Representative Watson,
permitted Mr.. Taft to get information on
the Indiana situation becoming of the
men who directly represent the Fair
banks faction. The state is regarded as
of such Importance that Mr.. Taft con-
siders it highly important that there
should be assurances of harmony there
over the Craftsmanship, who ever may fill
that position.

Naive Lying.

Commissioner Bingham of New York
discussing the case of policeman found
guilty Of protecting gambling houses
said:
1.-The man lied too naively in defense
of hts innocence. He was like a car
penter employed last month by a news
paper friend of mine.
MY newspaper friend writes good
deal at home, and his study being next
to the nursery the children's noise dis
turbed him, and he employed a carpen
ter to make the wall sound-proof between
the two rooms.
"'Tn fix it all right said the car
penter, confidently. The best thing Il
do will be to line it with shavings.
"'He completed the job, then he callet
the literary man in.
"'She is sound-proof all right now,' h
said.
"'We'n test her, said the literar
man. You stay here
"And going into the nursery he calle
to the carpenter in the study:
"'Can you hear me?
emo, sir, I can't" was the prompt re
ply."-New York Times.

In recently published reports of the

the Daughters of Jacob mention was
made of the chief usher, LAD aged
1O5 years, and of the ''girls' who sold
candy and lemonade, although they were
only 1O3 and 1O7 years old. Some doubt
was expressed as to the ages of these in
mates of the home. Albert Kruger, the

DIVER NEAR DEATH
WHEN TUBE is CUT
HENRY GREEN DRAGGED FROM
DEPTHS OF LAKE ALMOST
LIFELESS.
WAS SEEKING MANS BODY.
Search for John Bechtel Near Govern
ment Breakwater Nearly Results
in Further Tragedy.
VICTIM REMOVED TO wAUKEGAN.

MILWAUKEE, Wis, July 6, 1905
To be cut off from all air supply while
working many feet under water, with
only thin life line connecting him with
his assistants above, was the experience
which nearly cost the life of Henry
Green, diver, while working off the gov
eminent pier in the harbor for the re-
covery of the body of a drowned man.
The parents of John Bechtel, who lost
his life while rowing in the harbor a
week ago Sunday, secured the services
of Green. who was employed in govern
ment work at Waukegan, to find the
body of their son.
Dragged from Water.
Green started work at the spot near
which Bechtel lost his life, attended by
the fishing steamer Mascot. He had
descended to quite a depth when the
the resistance to their pumping had les
sened and the pump worked unusually
easy. Bubbles Of air rising to the sur
face also indicated that there was some
thing wrong, and then a pull at the life
line was felt, and the emergency signal
for help was given by the diver. Drop
ping the pumps, his assistants hurrledly
summoned all their help and the diver
was rapidly drawn to the surface. The
helmet was unbuckled as quickly as the
nervous fingers of the assistants per-
mitted, and the limp form was dragged
to the boat. 1t was seen that Green was
unconscious and he appeared to be life
less. His face was swollen and dlstort-
ed because of his suffering for the few
minutes under water without air.
After hurried work, massaging the
mans limbs to renew circulation, and
quick work to restore his breathing, he
finally recovered slightly and in the
course of half an hour more was able to
sit up.
Tube Cut with Tin.
An investigation showed that the rub
Der tube supplying the air to the diver,
had been cut as if done with a knife.
Heaps of tin and iron work along the
pier left from the old pier body, are be
lieved to be responsible for the accident
and it is believed that the tube foated
close to piece of sharp tin which cut
through it, thus lmperiling the life OF
Green.
A brother-in-law of Bechtel was pres
ent at the accident and seeing how close
ly the grim reaper came to claiming an
other death, he. announced his intention
of giving up the search for the body OF
his relative. Green was taken home,
and is said to have entirely recovered
from his exciting experience under the
waters of Lake Michigan.

his coat to plunge into the lake, now

had grown with fear as white as marble.

''I'll believe in you,'' replied the boy
Far in the southwest they could see
the sky, and the thoughts OF an encoun-
ter with a storm at this height flashed
across their minds. Their hope was to
reach the Michigan shores.
Then they ascended even higher, rising
to an upper stratum of aid, which was
moving at rate OF more than sixty
miles an hour, according to Capt. Muel-
Ter. In less than two hours they sighted
in the distance the lights of two cities
close to each other They thought they
were somewhere in Indiana.
Alight Near Benton Harbor.
When it seemed safe to descend, after
thew had gone a mile inland, Capt. Muel-
Ier pulled the cord attached to the valve
of the balloon and they dropped gradual
ly to within 500 feet of the earth. Then
they lowered around, looking below for
a favorable place to land.
Capt. Mueller wished to avoid trees,
swamps and streets and yet to get as
near as possible to a railroad or street
car line The wind had died down and
the use of the anchor in making a land
ing was unnecessary. They finally set
tied in a field so feet from a street car
line and three miles from Benton Har-
Dor. Mich.
It was o'clock when they reached
~, three h0nrS
for them to pack up the balloon and the
basket. Then they took a street car fol
Benton Harbor. They returned to Chi
cago on an early morning train.
