The deiberatiUn with which Presi-
dent Taft is making changes among
the diplomatic representatives abroad
is due, it was learned at the State De-
partment today. to the fact that the
President has found it tc be a difficult
task to select the type of men he wants
TO ssnd abroad.
Il is recognized as inevitable at the
department that there viii be many
changes before the first of next year.
Secretary KNOX is going over the sit
uation carefully. and on his next visit
to Beverly will not only discuss the
weak spots in our diplomatic service
abroad but viii be prepared TO sug-
cest their successors.
The two most important posts within
tie Gift of the President viii see
changes before the year is out. Henry
White American ambassador to France,
will be retired as soon as the President
can find "a man 10 succeed him. Mr..
White has been advised by the state
Department that he viii be relieved at
an early date, and il is understood that
he IS ready 10 come home al moment s
notice.

fact that personal feelings. rather than
a question of ability or tact, are the
real reasons why the ambassadors will

tives of this country In Europe who will
be asked to come home within a few
months
In short. the whole service is due for
a shaking-up.
The President has Travelled so ex-
teHsVely that he has a good working

known as the Willamette Valley lumber
case About a year ago, the commission
decided this ,ase along with a number
of others. known as the Pacific Coast
lumber cases.
They related 20 the lumber rates over
about half Of the United States. The
willamette case was determinatlVe OF
lumber rates from Portland into Cali
forlia. 1t ordered a reduction IN the
rates. The Southern Pacifc, which
means T.. H. Hartman, concluded TO
join issues with the commission.
An injunction proceeding was brought
against the commission TO prevent the
enforcement of the rate which the com
mission ordered. In this suit the ques-
ton Of the cOustitutiouality Of that part
of the Hepburn law WhlC't gives the
commission power to regulate rates was
directly raised.

2 PERSONS INJURED
SLIGHTLY BY AUTOS
WOMAN STEPS IN FRONT OF
CAR; Is RUN OVER
Man Tries to Avoid Machine, and in
Confusion Which Results,
Collision Takes
Place

Two persons were run over by auto
mobiles in different parts of the city at
almost the same time yesterday morn
ing. Both had narrow escapes from
serious injury and each sustained slight
bruises. In both cases the accidents
were apparently unavoidable.
Mrs. l.. L. Johnson of 423 East Pico
street alighted from a west bound car
at Seventh and Valencia streets shortly
after 10 o'clock yesterday morning. She
stepped directly in front of an automo-
bile and hesitated, whereon the driver
of the motor car slowed down to allow
her to pass. Mrs. Johnson stopped and
the driver continued his course, ex-
pecting the woman to wait until the
auto had passed, but she failed to do
so, was struck, knocked to the pave
ment and rolled several feet. The
driver made every effort to stop the
car, but before he could do SO the auto
passed over the PROSTATE woman.
Several persons who had witnessed
the accident ran forward and, with the
two occupants of the auto, took the in
jured woman into a nearby drug store.
DR.. Titan J. Coffey was summoned
and found Mrs. Johnson had sustained
bruises on the arms, knees and ankles.
Later she was placed in an ambulance
and take nto her home. But for Sc
we're shock she is none the worse for
her experience.
Henry Mulnolland or 3bUU East E1rSr
street attempted to cross in front OF
an automobile driven by J. W. Char
ters of 775 Kensington road, at First
and Los Angeles streets. Both the pc
destrian and the automobile endeav-
ored to let the other pass, and the re-
suit was a collision. Mulholland was
knocked down and shaken UP conside-
rably. He was taken to the receiving
hospital and the police surgeons found
he had not been otherwise injured.

RENO, New, March 2S.-When he
stepped from his private car at the
Southern Pacific railroad yards at
Reno this morning, E. H. Hartman
recognized a Reno newspaper man as
an old acquaintance.
Asked for an interview, Mr.. Harri-
man responded:
What do you want me to talk
about"
Railroad matters" was the an
swer.
what in Particular" was the ques-
ton from Mr.. Hartman.
"Well, the people of Nevada and the
surrounding country are somewhat
agitated at the present time about
the traffic rates, and we would like to
hear from you.''
Quick as a flash came the following
from Mr.. Hartman:
at is played out, it is played out;
it is past and gone. If Nevada wants
to get in the lead, her people should
legislate in favor of combinations and
coalitions of transportation lines.
"As civilization progresses that is
sure to come, as it is so evidently
for the good of the country at large.
Every dollar that is invested in un-
necessary property is dead and to that
extent prevents the investment of cap
ital in other developing enterprises and
the permanent employment of labor. |
mean by that, the money is wasted,
it brings no return, and passes out
of the channels of trade.
Get Strengthened out in Nevada, and
take the lead in what is bound to
come"
Mr.. Hartman appeared sprightly
and in buoyant spirits. He stood in a
group with others to be photographed
several times.
He stepped on the scales and tipped
the beam at 1874 pounds.
Mr.. Hartman was accompanied by
Vice President e. E. Calvin of the
Southern Pacific and II. w. Sheridan,
general superintendent of the Sacra-
mento division, as well as his personal
party. He was met by~W. HI. Ban
croft, vice president and general man
ager of the oregon Short Line; J. NJ
Davis, general superintendent of the
Oregon Short Line; e. c. Manson, SUI
perintendent of the Salt Lake division;
Thomas Fitzgerald. resident engineer

All of these except Mr.. Clapp accom-
panied him eastward.

LECTURES ON TRIUNITY
OF ORGANISM OF MAN

Mrs. Stevens subject yesterday after
noon at Blanchard hall was Man as a
Triune Organism-Spirit, Mind and
Body"
The three she said are cooperative
and interdependent and there should
be no development of the one at the
expense of or independent of the other
two.
She defined spirit as the individual,
the "you," the seat of all the feelings
and the emotions; the motive power
that endures after death. The spirit
is the seat of vital power and the
source of all individual activity as dis
tinguished from the soul, which is the
spirit body or the life forces surround
ing the body.
only through the coordinate action
and reaction of the spirit, mind and
body, the speaker said, can the normal
state of progression be maintaiped, the
state in which the life forces are gath
cred for soul growth.
The most important business in the
world today is the preservation of the
soul, on which we depend for spiritual
awakening. How this is done will be
the subject for future lectures, Mrs.
Stevens said in conclusion.
