STEAMER SMASHES LOCK GATE
ACCIDENT ENDANGERS VESSELS
IN SAULT CANAL.
Captains Signal to Back Up Mis-
understood by Engineer, Who
Puts-on Steam Ahead.

SAULT STE. MARIE. Mich. November
1o.-The steamer Isaac L. Elwood ram
med the upper gate of the Poe lock In
the Sault canal today. demolishing the
south leaf of the gate and probably plac-
ing the big lock out of commission for
the rest of this season. Navigation will
not be interrupted, however. as both the
Canadian and weitzel locks are available
for ships.
A repetition of the accident to the Ca
madam lock which occurred earlier I'm the
season was prevented by the fortunate
circumstance that the lower gates were
closed when the Elwood crashed into the
upper one. Consequently there was no
damage to the lock except to the upper
gate.
There were four vessels i'm the lock-
the steamers Hecker and Lyncoming and
the barges Sweetheart and Mary y.
Burke-when the accident happened. None
of them was DANA ged. The Isaac L.
Ellwood. down bound. was approaching
the upper gates was closed. Capt. Cum
mings of the EllwoOd declares that as he
approached the lock entrance he signaled
his engineer to back the engines, but that
instead he started them full speed ahead.
Capt. Dolsen of the government tug
Noble. which was near the Ellwood, cor
roborates Capt. Cummings statement.
The big steel steamer AS feet long,
crashed into the gate, which injured the
mechanism so seriously that the canal
engineers believe. from their preliminary
survey, that IL will be impossible to use
the lock again during this season.
Had the lower gate been open the ELL
wood and the four vessels in the lock
would have been swept down through the
lock by the terrific force of the current
as were the ships which were i'm the
Canadian lock when the steamer Perry
G. Walker carried away its lower gates.

AGREED As TO SHIP SUBSIDY
PRESIDENT AND LEADERS IN
ACCORD ON LEGISLATION.
Prospects Regarded as Favorable
for Passage Of Some Kind Of
Measure This Session.

One subject of legislation upon which
there seems to be thorough accord be-
tween the President and the leaders in
Congress is a ship subsidy bill for the
coming session. The prospects are thought
to be highly favorable for the passage
of some kind of a measure to benefit
American vessels carrying the mails TO
the orient and to South America espe-
cially.
President Taft will urge the legislation
in his annual message to Congress and
will include it in his program of action
TO be demanded Of Congress. The leaders
in the House ard Senate are entirely ia
vorable to the suggestion. and through
their combined effort the advocates of the
legislation expect to secure favorable
action.
As now outlined the committee on post
offices and post roads VIII take up a bill
providing additional subsidies for carry
ing ocean mails. particularly for vessels
Of lesser tonnage than the big Atlantic
liners. and which ply to the far east and
to the southern hemisphere. 1t is planned
To- make the subsidy a part of the policy
of the postal service. and by this means
deprive it of some objections which have
been urged heretofore to a purely cargo
subsidy.
Canvass of the House.
The preliminary steps in this legislation
were taken at the last session in the way
of making a canvass of the House. sound
ing sentiment and in stimulating interest
in the subject. A bill is now pending be-
fore the committee on post offices and
another before the committee on mer-
oh q fShprtpS
President Taft by his familiarity with
all things concerning the far east. is said
to be alive to the disadvantage to which
American shipping In the Pacific has been
placed by the subsidized ships Of Japan,
and on his recent visit to the coast saw
idle American vessels rusting at anchor
while the busy Japs clouded the harbOr
atmosphere with their liners smoke.
