ING EXHAUSTED.
BY Associated Press.

Evansville, Ind, Dec. 31.-Many
towns along the Ohio river have not
received mail for several days, and
many of them are suffering from short
food and coal supplies. Though
wagons are being driven over the ice
at several points up as far as Madison
the government will not permit the
mail to be carried over the dangerous

Old rivermen say that not since the
Civil war has the river been SO heavily
blocked with ice and it is estimated
that che suspension of navigation on
the lower river will cause a loss OF
s10o, 600. This does not include the
possible immense damage to property
when the temperature goes up and
the gorges begin to break. Ice is
gorged high against the Louisville and
Nashville railroad bridge at Hender

Colonel Roosevelt may be asked to ac-

was current in Pekin a month ago,
according to DR.. William Edgar Giel.
who has just returned to America after
a year spent in studying the political
situation in China.
DR.. Giel left Pekin on August / and
at that time. he says. it was current
gossip in political circles that the pal
ace authorities were considering a
proposition to engage Colonel Roose-
welt to assist in plotting the country
through a rather stormy period Many
of the diplomats, DIR. Giel declares,
were confident that the offer would
appeal to the American ex-president,
and might induce him to abandon the
fight against the bosses here to be-
come a boss himself in the Flowery
kingdom.
In speaking of conditions, DR.. Giel
said there was an "anti-b baby move
ment' in China, the leaders being OPP
posed to the rule of the child emperor
This movement, he said, if it grew rap
idly, as many thought. might result in
a revolution. China is friendly to this
country, he said, and the political lead
ers in that country regard President
Taft highly.
