M'BRIDE POLICY FAVORED
BY BRITISH COLUMBlANS
Governments Offer to Aid in Con.
struction Through Province of Cam
adlan Northern lndorsed

VICTORIA, B. c., Nov. 26.-The
voters of British Columbia indorsed by
a large majority the policy of the Nc
Bride government in offering to aid the
Canadian Northern in building its
transcontinental line through the prov
ince at the election yesterday.
Returns received from thirty-six of
the forty-two election districts in Brit
ish Columbia show that at least thirty
two supporters of Premier Mcbride
have been elected to the provincial par
lament. Two Liberals and two Social
lists have been chosen. John oliver,
leader Of the opposition, ran for two
seats. Delta and Victoria. He was ue-
feated in both.
The result of the decision is an en-
thusiastic approval of the railroad pol
icy of Premier Mcbride, under whom a
contract was made with the Canadian
Northern railroad to build a line from
Yellow Head pass, at the eastern bor-
der of the province along the Fraser
river, to Vancouver by Kamloops, con-
Meeting by car ferry with Victoria and
extending thence to an ocean terminus

YOUNG WOMAN TALKS IN
FIFTY-F0UR LANGUAGES
Resident OF Town In Fay State Speaks
In Both Live and Dead
Tongues

CHICAGO. Nov. 26.-William E.
Curtis says:
Miss Elizabeth S. Cotton, a very
agreeable and graceful citizen of East
hampton, Mass, has a great advantage
over the rest of her sex because she
can express her thoughts in fifty-four
languages, while the most of them
have to get along the best they can
with one.
Probably only one other woman, in
America at least approaches Miss Col
ton as a linguist, and that is Miss Mary
Montgomery, daughter Of a Presby-
terian missionary in Turkey, who as
tonished the faculty of the University
of Berlin by her linguistic accomplish
ments and is now editing a dictionary
of Oriental languages in New York
"Miss Cotton has studied the live and
dead languages at various schools on
three continents, and has recently re-
turned from a stay Of a year and half
in India"

approaching and feared that his father
would be in the path of the onrushing
car, so called to his father. The father
became confused and halted the auto
with fatal consequences.
The company claims that the head
light shows plainly all objects on the
track for a distance of 200 feet. How
ever, the light does not Hume any
objects a few feet on either side OF
the tracks so that the motorman could
not see the auto approaching the
tracks, although those in the auto
could plainly see the car for a long
distance.
It is declared that the brake on the
auto was found set when the wrecked
machine was picked up. The brake
may have become set in any of thou
sand ways, so that this fact does not
show any lack of judgment on the part
of the man at the steering wheel. All
facts will be brought out this morning
at the inquest.
Coroner Hartwell has made no pri-
vate investigation, according TO his
statement yesterday He says he knows
the locality well and will wait for tes-
timony at the inquest before he forms
any conclusions.

almost caused a riot because OF his at
tempts to put members of the Jacobs
family off the car bearing the dead and
injured to Los Angeles. Wells claims
to be a deputy sheriff. He is employed
by the Pacific Electric as a messenger.
One Pacific Electric official said that
the negro acted within his authority,
as he was the only officer present when
the second accident occurred. He said
that Wells did not attempt to put any
members of the Jacobs family off the
car, and only sought to prevent NOR
bidly curious ones from getting into
the car. Arthur L. MacKaye, news
paper man, who was on the car carry
ing the dead and injured, takes issue
with the Electric company. Mr.. Mac
Yaye says he was elected from the car
by the negro, and that an attempt was
made to force members of the Jacobs
family who had escaped injury to leave
the coach Mr.. MacKaye was perform
ing an act of mercy, having placed mis-
coat around the form of the injured in

shoulder and told he would have to
leave. When he demurred, saying thai
the baby needed attention, he was fore

tion has been aroused by the negro's
actions.
