PORT LIMON, Costa Rico, Feb. S.
Residents in the neighborhood of the

Streams of lava are flowing through
the fertile valleys at the foot of the

weighing 200 pounds have been hurled
two miles from the crater and have.
crushed through roofs of houses with
great damage.
Considerable destruction from this
source occurred at Lalecheria. The

almost as far as San Jose, the capital,
have been deserted. In Cabadrella the

PRESIDENT TAFT
rs STRENUOUS
Takes Honors from Roosevelt and the
Secret Service Men Would
Like the Old Gays.

WASHINGTON, Feb. S."Most
folk have the impression that Theo-
dore Roosevelt was the most strenuous
president who ever occupied the white
house, said member Of the cabinet
tody, who was also member Of the
Roosevelt admir- istration.
aHe was not in it with William How
ard Taft. The president is not max
ing much noise. but hs is on the move
about as much as man cansbe. II
you want any verif1cation OF this state-
ment, ask the two secret service men.
When Roosevelt was boss of this
land they thought they were up against
it, because he kept them trailing after
him on a ten-lnile hike, with an occa-
sion plunge through stream in Rock
Creek park. In those days, however,
Mr.. Secret Service Man got through
work about or o'clock in the after
noon. Mr.. Roosevelt liked to spend
his evenings in tie white house. Now,
the secret service men are signing for
the good, old days.
"They do not plunge through any
streams, but they get lot more walk.
ing than during the reign Of Roose-
welt. and their work is not done when
they return to the white house. The
president spends less time in the white
house than any president ever heard
about.

ROOSEVELT STARTS
FOR ANOTHER CAMP
Route is 1903 Miles Long, Through
Savage Lands and will Tax
the Party's Strength.


NIMULE, Uganda Protectorate, Feb.
S.-The ten days march to Gondokoro
was begun by the Smithsonian African
scientific expedition. The first camp
will be at the Assa river, twelve miles
north of this place, if the plans of the
party do not miscarry.
The location of the camp site Is
good and well adapted to the conven-
ience of the explorers, but the path
lies through an unpeopled district and
the porters were well burdened with
food supplies.
The distance from Nimule to Con-
dokoro is. roughly speaking. 10s miles.
and this stage of the expedition will
be as severe test of physical endur-
ance as the party has had.

Committed Suicide at Niagara and
Went to Her Death With
Smile Upon Her Face
as She sank.
LEFT NOTE ON THE BANK
Without a Moments Hesitation, Walk
ed Into Deep Water and Was
Swept to Death Over
the Cataract.

NIAGARA FALLS, N. Y, Feb. s.
A young woman, thought to be Miss
Beatrice R. Snyder of Buffalo, com.
mitted suicide by wading out into the
river just above Prospect Point and
going over the American falls. AS her
body swept over the brink of the cata-
ract, she turned her face toward her
would-be rescuers and smiled fare
well to them.
A park policeman paid scant atten-
tion to the woman when she first ap-
peared on the path leading to the river
bank. Then, as she began to run
toward the river, it was too late to
intercept her.
Without moments hesitation, she
waded into the stream. She turned
once and smiled toward the men who
were calling to her to stop, and con-
tinued to move rapidly into deep
water. In an instant she was whisked
from her feet and carried rapidly
toward the brink Of the falls.
On the bank was found handbag
and in it this note:
Mamma and Papa-May you both
forgive me for bringing this awful dis
grace upon you in these years of your
life. Also may our Heavenly Father
forgive all my sins. But / have been
very good, thank God. You will find
slip for the money under your dress
+ er scarf. With my heart full of love
for all your kindness and tender love
goodbye. Lovingly.
BEATRICE.
There was card in the purse bear
ing the name of Beatrice r. Snyder.
With the lower river jammed with
ice and the jam increasing hourly
there is little hope that the body vii
ever be recovered.

Everything Looks Promising for the
work to be Taken up Looking
Toward the Improvement
Of the Stream.
THIRTY THREE BRIDGES
Doat Route is Blocked But the Bridges
Gould be RECONSTRUCTED in
Case River Was Made
NavlgabIe.

WASHINGTON d. c., Feb. S-Indi-
cations are that the obstacles to a
survey Of the Des Moines river from
the city of Des Moines to Keokuk have
been cleared away.
Representative Hull appeared before
the board of engineers of the war de-
partment, which has review author
ity over the river and harbor projects.
He spoke in support of Major Riches
inspection report, which was to the
effect that the Des Moines river ought
to be made navigable.
Representative Hull went over In
considerable detail the reasons why
the Des Moines river If improved
would be patronized by large COM
merce. He dwelt on the richness OF
the tributary territory, of its vast re-
sources in the way of freight to be
carried, and gave exhaustive data for
the enlightenment of the board.
In the afternoon the board went
over Major Riches report, reached its
conclusions, and forwarded the report
to tie chief of engineers, General
Marshall That officer will pass on the
matter
Officially. nothing is disclosed as to
what the board has found, but unoffi-
eially it is stated that the report OF
the board is favorable to the survey.
General Marshall undoubtedly will
approve the report of the board if II
is favorable.
Representative Hull said that he
had no doubt that the report OF the
board Of engineers was favorable to
survey of the Des Moines river. He
is well satisfied with the showing
which he was able, to make before the
board.
One of the difficulties in the i'm.
provement of the Des Moines river is
that there are. thirty-three bridges
without draws in them between Des
Moines and Keokuk. This will in
crease the expense of improvement OF
the river for navigation purposes. All
the same time if there are sufficient
reasons why the river should be iri
proved, the bridges will not he permit
ted to stand in the way.

FAIRBANKS AND
THE POPE OF ROME
Ex-vice President was Promised an
Audience and was Then
Denied the Visit.

ROME, Feb. S.-The unhappy Incl
dent which marred the visit here of
TO- mer Vice President Charles W.
Fairbanks has been the subject of
animated discussion, particularly
among members of the American colo
ny.
Mr.. Fairbanks had expressed wish
to pay his respects to the pope and
- had been announced that an audi
ence would be granted the distin-
guished American. Subsequently it
was learned that he had promised to
address the local society of the Ameri-
can Methodist Episcopal church and
following the receipt of this informa-
tion at the vatican it was announced
that Mr.. Fairbanks would not be re-
ceived by the pontiff unless his pur-
pose to address the church society was
abandoned. Mr.. Fairbanks elected
4 to keep his engagement with the Meth
/ odists.
4 Protestants generally warmly con
/ graduated the former vice president
on what they termed his dignified at
titude in the matter The Catholics
on the other hand, expressed deep re
gret that what was intended to be in
the nature of homage to the pontiff
should be given rise to a cause for
friction.
Each party accuses the other of hav-
| ing assumed an irreconcilable atti.
tude. The Catholics place the RESPONSE
bility for the unpleasantness upon
what they describe as the offensive
Methodist propaganda being conducted
| in Rome.
