Sinking of Dry Dock Dewey Was Not
Deliberate Act.

Manila May 25lt is the general opin-
ion that the sinking yesterday Of the dry
dock Dewey was due to CarelessnasH
rather than to a deliberate purpose upon
The part of'the station employees, who arc
JAPANESE, TO cause damage.
Tho experts declare that tho great
floating dock. which was lowed here from
the United States at Inuch expense will
lie saved DESPITE The likelihood that it

The port side including the pumps, was
Submerged to-day and partly resting on
The bottom. The starboard was still eX-
posed but WAS settling slowly. 1t is
doubtful whether the starboard pumps

TAFT'S HANDS OFF
NEW YORK FIGHT
REGRETS False Position in Which
He Was Placed by ROose-
veIt'S Friends
PRESIDENT WANTED HARMONY
May Not Receive GrisCom of New
York Committee if
He Calls
ASSOCIATED Press)

BEVERLY, Mass, Aug. 26.-Indi-
cations continue to multiply here that
President Taft's participation in the
New York state fight is ended for
good The president is not resident
of New York, and does not feel it to
be the province of the president to
interfere in local politics.
Mr.. Taft was drawn into New York
politics reluctantly. He was glad to
see the various leaders as they called
and he urged on them the Importance
of an amicable adjustment of affairs
prior to the state convention. This,
it appears, was impossible, and now
the fight goes to the convention.
Mr.. Taft will keep "hands off"
The president it is said, feels far
more keenly than he let appear in his
letter to Mr.. Griscom the false light
he was placed in by anonymous state
ments from oyster Bay and New York.
He had every reason to believe that
leaders close to Colonel Roosevelt knew
exactly what his attitude was and that
they had first-hand knowledge that
Mr. Taft had done none of the under
handed things attributed to him.
1t is pointed out by some of Mr..
Taft's friends, that Lloyd c. Griscom,
president of the New York county Re
publican committee, who stood spon-
sor for Mr. Roosevelt, was in Presi-
dent Taft's library at Burgess Point
when the president sent the long tele-
gram to Vice President Sherman, since
made public, telling him to do nothing
without the approval of Mr.. Roosevelt,
which could in any way involve the
administration.
Soon after the recent events at New
York, it was announced Mr.. Griscom
would visit Beverly in few days. 1t
is said here Mr.. Griscom has no en-
gagement to see the president.

ROOSEVELT ADVERTISING
SELF, DECLARES BARNES
Colonel to Attend New York Con-
vention as Delegate

NEW YORK, Aug 26.-'T would sug-
gest that Mr.. Woodruff again read
President Taft's letter to me OF Aug
90"
This was all Lloyd C. Griscom, chair
man of the New York Republican
county committee, would say in COM
ment on state Chairman woodruff S
statements of last night in which Mr.
Woodruff said he was not cognlzant
of any plan to present Theodore Roos-
eyelt's name before the committee
meeting for chairman of the state con-
Vention.
Mr.. woodruff did not amplify his
statement today, but William Barnes
ir., of Albany, was more loquaclous'
He declared as he did in a statement d
few days ago that the people want
a rest -.
Business interests are being put in
a bad way by this wanton political
agitation" added Mr. Barnes. People
want to conserve their business inter-
ests and do not want them destroyed
by political demagogues. The business
interests of the state are tired OF rae
ing chaos They don't know where the
next blow is coming from, or who is to
deliver it.
"I regret the present controversy, as
it means it will be almost impossible
to conciliate the warning factions Fer
sonally, I am against making the pet
theories of demagogues political issues.
Roosevelt says he is against crooks.
SO am l, and SO is every honest man.
He is hardly helping the party by the
course he is taking, but he is getting
the personal advertisement that he so
much Desires
1t was reported today that Republi-
can leaders of Nassau county, Long
Island, Col. RooseVelts county, had
determined that he shall be delegate
to the state convention, probably to
lead the Nassau delegation.
Mr.. Roosevelt has said all along that
he would probably attend if chosen as
a delegate.

NEW YORK, Aug. 26.-Nicholas Won
Ostrowsky, president of the Moscow
Libau railway of Russia, is back in
New York after a months tour of the
United States, in which he and party
of his engineers have made careful
study of the railway terminals, loco
motive and car works and freight
handling facilities of this country,
Their principal work was done in
Buffalo, Detroit, Chicago, st. Louis,
Cincinnati, Richmond, Washington,
Philadelphia and New York.
'In general, we found the railroads
of this country excellent" said the
Russian railroad president, summing
up the results of his observations on
his arrival here. "In what they do for
the comfort of the travellers and the
arrangements for the transportation of
merchandise they are wonderful. Com
pared with the railroads of Europe,
one might say the roadbeds are not
so well kept. But the trains are better
and the cars for freight are much
larger. The big freight car is coming
in Europe, however, and we are about

FEAR INFANT PARALYSIS
COMMUNICABLE DISEASE
MaIady Leaves Victim Crippled
for Life

NEW YORK, Aug. 26.-Infant paraly-
sis shortly will be added to the list or
communicable diseases that must be
reported by all private practitioners
and public hospitals to the New York
health board.
Only one-tenth of those affected die,
but nearly all who recover are crippled
for life.
DR.. Walter Bensel, sanitary superin-
tendent, will make a determined effort
to collect data regarding the disease,
of which little is known at present.
ut is only within a short time he
says. that the disease has been classi-
fed as communicable. It's most dan
gerous period, and that in which 1t IS
most communicable, is in its initial
stage when the patient has high
fever.
"How the disease is communicated
from one human being to another, we
do not know, and we can give absolute
ly no advice as to guarding against 1t.
Ks a general rule, however fresh air
is as good a defectant as there is, and
the child is in much less danger when
in the open than shut up in the
house."
