Part of the journey was made under
circumstances of perilous nature.
Helpless and drifting rapidly leeward,
the airship travelled for four hours

ELIOT MAY DECLINE
AN AMBASSADORSHIp
Believes That Advanced Age Should
Excuse Him From Public
Service Abroad.

WASHINGTON, April 1.-Retiring
President Charles w. Eliot of Har-
ward university, it was stated today,
in receiving from President Taft a
tender of the ambassadorship to Great
Britain, expressed to the chief execu-
tive both his appreciation of the hon
or and the belief that he would be
unable to accept the post.
President Taft, it is said, asked DR..
Eliot to further consider the matter
before making a formal declination
and this was agreed upon. DR.. Eliot,
however, told the president that be-
ing II years old he hesitated to accept
foreign service at this time althouai,
he felt in perfect health and capable
of many years of energetic work yet
to come. 1t was said today by those
who talked with DR.. Eliot that they
felt that his own views as to declining
the post would eventually prevail

WASHINGTON, April 1.-Bronzed
by his weeks of sojourn under South

vitality e. H. Hartman reached here
late today to all appearances a REIN
vigorated man after his long combina-
ton vacation and business trip over
the net work of Hartman railroads
in the west, the southwest and in
Mexico.
Mr.. Hartman said he found in the
west and southwest a vastly changed
sentiment toward the railroads. With
such a sentiment there would be en-
couragement for the railroads to go
ahead with development work he
thought.
talk about the tariff in the far west.
Asked as to possible wage reduction
by the railroads he said:
1--WE have not even considered the
matter and shall not so long as we
can afford to pay"
When asked if he was to become
actively identified with the New York
Central, Mr.. Hartman replied he was
not bothering his head about the mat
ter. Neither had he agreed with the
chief Hill interests in the west. A con-
ference over terminal matters in Port
land, Oregon, was his only communi-
cation with representatives of those
interests he said.
Mr.. Hartman said the Southern
Pacific expected to make a success of
it's irrigation plant in Southern Cali
fornia despite the difficulties that he
declared were being put in the COM
pany's way by the government.

NEW YORK, April 1.-The Trans
Atlantic Liner La Lorraine was Grip
pied today by the brusting of the main
steam pipe of her port boiler and was
Havre. Two of her oilers were fright
fully scalded, but it was said that they
would recover. The accident occurred
as the vessel had come from her pier
and was veering around in midstream
for the run down the river to the open
sea. Friends of passengers who were
still waving farewells from the pier
saw the ship suddenly enveloped in
steam from Waterline to deck. There
was an explosion, but it was too faint

Those on board, however, were seen
scurrying about the deck in wild ex-
citement. That something serious had
happened was realized when signals
Ship not under control" were run up.
The general agent of the line at
once put out in a tug and upon reach
ing La Lorraine found that the eX-
plosion had shattered the intake pipe
of a piston port engine and had so
crippled the mechanism as to preclude
any possibility of the ship continuing
on her way. The ship then proceeded
under one engine to quarantine where
she anchored.

Crazy Snake Finds no Difficulty in
Eluding Capture mt Hands of Mill

PIERCE, Oklahoma, April What
a Muskogee newspaper calls the
Smoked Beef Rebellion" alleging it
to be considerable of a joke, is all but
expected will be withdrawn. Mcintosh
county will feed between eighty and
a hundred prisoners not one of whom
resisted arrest and Chitti Harjo, other
wise known as Crazy Snake will ex-
ercise due caution about appearing in
public. He was not captured today,
neither did he respond to a widely
distributed invitation to surrender.
The picturesque posses have quilted
the hunt leaving the field to the first
regiment o. N. G. Colonel Hoffman
sent squads through the river bottoms
and previously unexplored gulches in
the vicinity while Major Barrett,
spreading his men numbering 100 in
to extremely open order advanced
through the Hickory woods. Crazy
Snake, however, was elsewhere.
Meanwhile Colonel Hoffman held an
extended pow-wow with the fugitive's
sister. The latter succeeded in con-
vincing Hoffman that she knew moth
ing of her brothers whereabouts.
"Very we'll them" responded the
colonel, cit is up to him. He has "a
hours more in which to put himself
under protection. He should do it as
the next step undoubtedly will be the
Offering of a reward for him dead or
alive"
1t is admitted that the willy red man
has eluded his pursuers. He controls
his own destinies so long as he
chooses to remain hidden. The terri
tory in which he may roam is too
large for the military to cover
throughly. 1t is thought likely that
Crazy Snake will wait until public ex-
citement subsidies completely and then
emerge from his hiding place.

MAY AMEND THE
TARIFF MEASURES
Chances That Rule May Be Reported
Monday That Will Remove
-.ss,s,. Much Friction.
CLAIMS WAS REDUCED
Democratic Congressman Declares
That Enhanced Cost of Living Has
Virtually Acted as Reduction in
Wages of WOrkingmen.

WASHINGTON, April General
debate on the tariff was continued in
the house of representatives today.
The Payne bill came in for it's usual
condemnation as pretexts and shams.
Messers Gaines West Virginia), and
Mccall, (Mass.), both members of the
Ways and Means committee, discussed
the measure.
The anticipated action regarding the
fixing of time for closing the debate
was not taken in view of the complex
situation in which the Republican
leaders found themselves.
At the night session, Mr. Thomas of
Kentucky, new Democratic member
made his maiden speech. By quoting
figures from Dun's Review, Mr.. Tho
mas endeavored to show that the
price of labor has decreased 80 per
cent instead of increased 10 per cent
as claimed by the bureau of labor. He
based his contention on the claim that
the cost of living has increased 49 per
cent.
WASHINGTON, April THAT a
rule permitting amendments to GER
tain schedules of the Payne tariff bill
will be brought in on Monday is now
practically certain. The Ways and
Means committee having decided to
take off the duty of tea and strike out
the countervailing duty on coffee, a
great deal of opposition caused by
those provisions of the bill was van
ished.
AS it has been agreed to permit a
vote on the hides and lumber sche-
to take place. There are indications
about which there is much contention.
The reciprocity provision for bitumi-
nous coal and the placing of iron ore
on the free list, are understood to have
been conceded by the house leaders
and are two propositions upon which
the rules will permit a vote. The
question of permitting a vote on the
countervailing duty on petroleum has
not been decided upon.
When the rule for controlling the
amendments to the tariff bill is
brought in, hot discussion is certain
to take place. There are indication
that the minority members who voted
for the Fitzgerald amendment to the
rules may vote with the Republicans
on the tariff bill rule.
