Smiling and debonair full of
confidence in herself and her car,
Miss Scott, the daring young trans
continentalist, has just left New
York on her long ride to the Coast.
Weston's walks, Flag to- Flag
tours, and even the great New York
to Paris race, all pale into insig-
nificance beside the unheard of eX-
plot which this fearless young wO-
man is now undertaking. Feats of
skill and endurance are to be eX-
pected of men-trained athletes
who make q business of strange
and startling tests-but for a young
woman of culture and refinement
to laugh at hardship and danger,
To undertake single handed some
thing never before attempted by a
woman scorn the suggestion of
masculine assistance, and offer to
show the world what a determined
young American girl can do with
an American automobile-all this
is indeed remarkable
why, the trips nothing" says
this energetic little woman. Il am
going for enjoyment-for the love
Of sport and adventure, to be out

President Taft loves to get away
from the strain of executive worries
and meet people outside of Washing
ton. He had been i'm the White House
only two weeks when he went to New
York and New Haven on a three days
run. Less than a month later his jour
ney was repeated, and two weeks aft
er that he went to Philadelphia to cele-
brate Grants birthday, and then came
a southern trip that took him to Pc
terSburg. Va, and Charlotte, y. c., re-
turning to Washington just in time to
go to Norfolk on May %. week later
he went to Gettysburg and Pittsburg.
and the last of June found him in New
York and New Haven for the Yale
celebration. Early in June he went
to inspect his summer home IN Bever-
ly, Mass. stopping at Norwich. Conn.
Then came his 13,0OO-miles swing over
the country, which ended in Washing
ton November 10. and the next day he
went to Connecticut A week later he
went to Norfolk and Hampton Roads.
and in December he visited New York.
following it soon by journey to Wa
tertown, Conn. He went to New York
for the New Year celebration. and in
February there were two trips to New
York and run to Baltimore. Two
weeks later saw him in Pittsburg. He
repeated his Pittsburg trip week
later. and also went to Chicago
Rochester, Albany. New York. New
Haven and Providence on April ,.
last, the president went to Millbury
and Worcester. Mass and then came
the Buffalo, Pittsburg. Cincinnati and
st. Louis trip. His last visit TO New
York was the other day when he at
tended the actors fair.
1t is really a remarkable thing that
in all his travels around the world as
we'll as in this country. Mr.. Taft has
never met with serious accident of
any kind. If he does not bear n
charmed life. he at least bears out
the statements of the insurance eX-
perts that travel by rail or water is
safer than most people imagine. He
has had several narrow escapes in mo-
tor cars. but thus far has sustained
no injury. The astonishing thing
about Mr.. Taft's travels is that those
who hold risks upon his life and well
being would rather see him board a
train and travel than to remain at
home

comes so unexpectedly and is so much
dreaded as this. Almost invariably it
happens when the engine is running at
high speed. When a driver breaks it is

PERILS OF THE run"

The close calls that whiten the en-
gineer's hair are mostly due to some
one else's error or oversight which he
cannot foresee or prevent, writes Thad-
deus s. Dayton in Harpers Weekly.
That many of these close calls do not
result fatally is due to the engineer
swift and skiful meeting of the mer-
gency.
The great driving wheels on which
most of the enormous weight of the To-
connective rests are connected by mas
sive iointed bars of forged steel. The
ends of these are attached TO the
wheels about half way between the
axis and circumference. 1t is through
these bars-called driving rods-that

White CALLED
TO STAND IN
L0R|MERPROBE
LEGIsLAToR WHOSE
CONFESSION SHOWED UP LEGis-
LATlvE CORRUPTION, is CUES
4 TONED BY SENATE. COMMITTEE

Chicago, Sept. 26.--With six Of the
seven members of the senatorial COM
mittee in attendance here today, the
preparations were completed for the IN
PRODUCTION of testimony in the inquiry
into the election of Senator Lorlmer-
State Representative White, a demo
cratic legislator, who confessed that he
was paid $1,000 to vote for Lorimer,
was scheduled to be the first witness.
White in his testimony identified
letters from Browne asking Whites
assistance in making him minority
leader of the legislature. He then
told Of his relations with Browne.
White said Browne asked MIN 70
vote for Lorimer and Browne told MIN
he would receive $1,000 for doing SO.
Whites testimony was the same as
that given in the two trials Of Browne.
Lorimer's attorney objected TO
White telling of the money promised
from other sources and the committee
went into executive session to COLI
slider the admissability of evidence
concerning the Jackpot" fund.
A short executive session. OF the COM
mite asked White number OF ques-
tions concerning the effect upon his
vote for Lorimer OF the promised share
in the s'jack pot" The substance OF the
answers was that he probably would
have voted for Lorimer on the one
thousand dollar offer even If he had no
share in the Jack pot. !" The committee
reserved a decision on the Jack pot
point Of defense.
It is definitely known that Repre-
democratic legislator, who voted for
Senator Lorimer. has been notified to
appear to testify. 1t is, expected that
White. whose confession as published
in Chicago newspaper first directed
public attention to the charges Of bri-
berry and corrupt practice in the cleo
ton Of the junior senator from Illinois,
will occupy the witness stand the en-
tire day and possibly longer:
In it's first open session the commit
tee, through it's chairman, Senator
Julius C. Burrows of Michigan, gave
Attorney Alfred S. Austrian, represent
ing the Tribune, permission to appear
in the hearing and also allowed Sena-
tor Lorimer to be represented by his
counsel, Judge Elbridge Hanecy
The question of what testimony will
be considered relevant and whether
the committee will permit the attor-
news for and against Senator Lorfmer
to open up avenues Of evidence not di-
rectly touching the question Of the
election of Senator Lorimer, has been
the subject of much speculation.
No definite announcement of the
rules which will govern the admission
of testimony has been made by the
committee, which under the powers in
herent to it is the sole Judge of the
method of procedure.

Washington, D. C.ssept. 26-( Special
Correspond According to the
ofaciai count Sfgthe returns Of the thir-
teenth census, the population Of Du-
buque, Iowa, is 3S.494, as compared
with 36,297 in 1900 and 30,311 in 1890.
The increase from 1900 to 1910, there

pared with an increase for the preced-
ing decade of 5,9e6, or 1877 per cent. /.
On the Iowa census returns thus far
made, Dubuque now stands fourth.
Ten years ago Dubuque was second to
Des Moines. This was due, however, to
a decrease in, Sioux City's population,
as Sioux City would have taken second
place had it had any kind of a showing
in the 1900 census. Sioux City and Dav-
export both pass Dubuque this year. In
terest is felt in the forthcoming re-
turns on Cedar Rapids. Council Bluffs,
Burlington and Clinton, all Of which

temporary chairman of the convention
tomorrow. Each side claims a majority
of the delegates and. each Is preparing
a convention program. The main plank
LOT the tentative platform Of the pro-
lgressives, 1T is said, declares for direct
nominations for congress and the leg
|islature It is said the platform will
be short, crispy and dtstinctiveIy
Rooseveltian."
Reports OF conferences between dele
gates already here and the news which
comes from Oyster Bay and the New
York, combine to give evidence that
the republican state convention, open
ing on Tuesday, will bring about the
hottest fight in the history Of the party
in New York.
Vice President Sherman arrived and
Immediately went into conference with
the old guard leaders. He refused to
be interviewed, but said he was conf
dent he will preside over the conven-
tion.
From Oyster Bay comes most
Rooseveltian denial that there will be
compromise on the direct primary
plank. The colonel also announced that
he will unseat Sherman as temporary
chairman and make the keynote"
speech himself Reports given by the
friends of Roosevelt now on the ground
have it that the platform as put before
the convention will contain all the fea-
lures of the new nationalism."
The Roosevelt-G Griscom people are
certain they will be able to accomplish
all these things, because they have
pledged to them no less than $40 votes
in the convention with which to dis
place the vice president. They said,
however, that they would make no
move against Sherman as chairman CT
the state convention when the state
committee will meet, but would re-
serve their fire for the first session of
the convention
Statement Made by Roosevelt.
On the eve of his departure from
Oyster Bay, Roosevelt took occasion to
make positive announcement in re-
gard to his attitude on the direct pri-
mary question. He was angry at the
stories saying he was going to COM
promise because lot Of the upstate
delegates we're not satisfied with the
direct primaries. He says he is not.
"The statement that / have cons1d-

maries plank is untrue" he said. II
stand exactly where have stood, and
while it is true that there are some up
state leaders who are not with us,
believe we will have majority with
us for direct primaries
But it is evident there will be good
fight over the primaries plank. Many
of the upstate delegates are hot under
the collar over the effort of President
Lloyd G.. Griscom of the New York
county republican committee to saddle
the direct primaries upon the upstate
republican strongholds. while infiuenc-
ing Roosevelt to favor the Cobb bill
