Seven Miles Through Surging Seas

Launching their boats into waves that
threatened to dash them to pieces. they
pulled through the surging sea for the
seven miles intervening between the
Brewster and the shore. The crew OF
tie vessel was ready to leave it.
The return trip to the shore was even
more perilous. and had they been an
!.our later in making it it is unlikely that
life savers or crew would have reached
the shore alive.
Four members of the crew left the ves-
sci soon after il went aground Monday

CABINET MEETING HELD
LURTON PROBABLE APPoINTEE

President Taft is hammering out his an
nual message and hopes to get it ready
for the public printer in the next two
days.
The printer has a large force of men
already picked to begin setting the type.
He believes he can have copies printed
within twenty four hours after getting the
copy from the White House.
President Taft hoped to put in consid-
erable time on the message Yesterday
afternoon, but spent the entire time in a
long conference with Attorney General
Wickersham, Senator Cummins OF Iowa.
Franklin Lane, interstate commerce COM
missioner, and Frank Kellogg, special
counsel for the government in the Stand
ard Oil cases.
The conference related entirely to
amendments the President will propose to
the interstate commerce acts.
After this conference and just before his
dinner hour he went for a walk through
the Mall. accompanied by Attorney Cen
eral Wickersham and Secretary Dickin-
son. The President resumed work upon
the message last night and again this
morning got TO work bright and early.
Cabinet Meeting Held.
He remained in the White House proper
and did not go TO his office until after II
o'clock. just in time to meet his cabinet
officers in their first cabinet meeting of
the week. Before the meeting he con-
suited with Secretary Meyer as to por-
tions of his message dealing with the
Navy Department and also received Sec
retary Nagel, who introduced Benjamin
S. Cable, the new assistant secretary OF
the Department of Commerce and Labor.
During the cabinet session of more than
two hours practically the only subject
was the message and its application to
the various departments. The President
is consulting each cabinet officer as TO
the recommenda tions he Is making on
questions of interest to each particular
bra nch of government service.
Martin w. Littleton counsel for Charles
W. Morse. the imprisoned millionaire and
ex-ice king Of New York. called at the
White House. but did not see the Presi-
dent. He did talk with Attorney Gen
eral Wickersham as that cabinet official
was entering the cabinet room.

with the Morse case, although he would

Diplomats in the Air.

This development, coming at mo-
ment when it was hoped that an agree
ment between the German and British
groups had been reached, completely
upsets the calcula tions Of the diplo-
mats of Great Britain. These, it is
understood. had agreed, with a view
to settling the matter, to concede Ger
tain German demands. The French,
however. consider that Great Britain
has yielded too much, and thus the
whole matter is likely to be reopened
Nevertheless there Is probability
that the German proposal made some
time ago that the powers should join
in urging China to grant a concession
for and /: division of control of the
railways construction will be again
taken up and acted upon.

Miss Halle Gelbart, who is direct
ing and producing THE Toymaker's

school children will appear on Mon
day night next in Goldfeld and We'd
nesday in Carson in her evening of
Rhythm Idyls.'
This is the unique recital which
Miss Gelbart introduced at the Wal
dorf-Astoria, New York, last winter
under the patronage OF Mrs. Jacob
Riis and Mrs. Charles Brodie Patter-
son. Miss Gelbart, who does the
work of the entire program with the
aid of an accompanist, has presented
this evening before many of the most
cultured audiences of the east and
the comments of the press are, with
out exception, complimentary in the
extreme.
The Salt Lake Herald of May IL
spoke most enthusiastically of Miss
Gelbarts' appearance there.
OF the many press notices we quote
from New York Times:
Miss Halle F. Gelbart, reciter,
and Mrs. Harriet Crane Pitblado,
pianist, thoroughly delighted the
large audience. The character pic
lures carrying out in words the
spirit of the dance rhythm as it is
heard in march, waltz, minuet, bo-
lero, ETC., were most cleverly present
led by Miss Gelbart-the musical
background being splendidly played
by Mrs. Pitmlado. 1t is altogether
unique and essentially a charming
program, and with its variety cannot
fail to please every one."
Miss Gelbart is graduate of the
Emerson college of oratory, Boston,
and beside her experience in lyceum
work, has been in the companies of
Miss Maude Adams, Miss Viola AL.
len and Mrs. Patrick Campbell.

and at the rate they are progressing,
they will take the time limit before

The employing of Mr.. NOVEL; and

There is a law on the statute
books of this state which says that
the county commissioners cannot ex-
