SADIE LEE rs
FAST AGROUND
Another Steamboat Gets Into Trouble
I On Account Of the Low
Water.

ST. LOUIS, Nov. 16.-The steamer
Sadie Lee Of the Lee Line, valued at
10000, which ran in the Memphis
trade to Helena, Ark, is sunk in the
main channel of the Mississippi river,
about sixty-four miles below Mem
phis. The boat had been doing special
work on account of the disability OF
several of the Lee Lines boats. She
grounded with few passengers and
light load of freight on board. The
boat is under water to her upper deck
according to information received at
the offices of the Lee Line in ST.
Louis. Efforts to float the boat proved
unsuccessful. A good-sized hole was
found in her bottom.
The Sadie Lee is the third boat OF
\ the Lee Line to be put out OF com
mission within six weeks. The Stack
er Lee ran on sandbar near Slough
| Landing. Tenn. The steamer Jim Lee
| was next. She grounded few miles
I from where the Sadie Lee is stuck
about a week ago. AS a result the Lee
/ Line has only one of the regular boats
running. the Rees Lee. The extreme
low water is given by rivermen as tht
/ cause for the accidents.

tion of Labor. The statement was
greeted with enthusiasm by the dele

Miss Younger is connected with the
San Francisco wage earners' suffra-

Her address was one of the important
features of the session, the other
being the address of Governor Hadley

of the country were unnecessary to
the best welfare of it's people.
The working committees of the con

Twenty or more reports were referred

Miss Younger was introduced to the

and her appearance on the platform
was signal for enthusiasm and
cheers.

ROCK SPRINGS, Texas, Nov 16.--
The efforts of the local authorities to
discover the Whereabouts uf the arm
ed force of Mexicans, said to number
about 500 mounted men, which is re-
ported to be marching on Rock
Springs from point on the Rio
Grande border near Del Rio, has not

Of the so-called Mexican army.
Inc information of the forming of
this body Of Mexicans, whose purpose
is said to be to avenge the recent
burning at the stake of Antonio Rod
riguez, the murderer of Mrs. Lem
Henderson, wife Of a prominent ranch
man of this section, came to the
sheriff from several points on the
border. 1t was stated in these tele-
phone messages that the rendezvous
/ of the Mexicans was on the Texas
side of the Rio Grande near Del Rio,
and that the invaders came mostly
from the towns and vicinity of Las
Vecas and Cuidad Porfirio Diaz
The country between Rock Springs
and the border is rough and devoted
exclusively to ranching. The distance
to Rock Springs is about 100 miles.
AS soon as the sheriff received word
Of the proposed attack on the town he
notified the citizens, and every able

the latter ordered a detachment OF

In the meantime the excitement has
spread to the ranches and the town is
filling with cowboys and ranchmen, all
armed and prepared to do any shoot
ing that the exigancies of the occa
sion may require. 1t is the belief o.
the cooler-headed element that the
Mexican force, if there is one, viii
abandon the expedition when it j:

PRESIDENT IS THEIR
Mr. TAFT Views the Gatun Dam and
is Much Pleased With the Pro.
gress Which Has
Been Made.

PANAMA, Nov. 49, President Taft
was told by Lieut.. Col. Goethals, chief
engineer of construction, that the
Panama canal will be completed In
1915. and that the cost will be kept
within the estimate of $375,VU0, 900.
He believes that the waterway will
be ready for the experimental pas
sage of ships year earlier, but he in
sists that before the canal is opened
TO the commerce of the world a year
should be devoted to testing purposes.
The completion of the work depends
on the situation at the Culebra cut.
Col. Goethals probably will recon-
mend the construction of retaining
walls in the cut because of apprehen-
sion that there may be rurther slides
of the earth similar to those which
have already occurred there
Col Goethals has recommended to
Mr.. Taft that the canal be fortified by
the military government of the canal
zone the army and navy to lie repre-
sented on the Fortifications board,
have control of the matters appertain-
ing to it.
The navy is represented in the con-
ferences by Rear Admiral Stanton
and Capt Maxwell of the Fortif1ca-
tions board. These officials favor the
construction of dry dock and other
necessary works. Col Goethals recon-
mends that a dry dock be built with
the understanding that it may be used
4 not only by the navy, but by merchant
vessels as well. He also recommends
that the navy utilize for repair work
the machine shops already built and
in operation here.
President Taft made close inspec
pleased with the work done there. To
day he will make an inspection of ths
Culebra cut, and he also will hear tht
complaints of employees paid by th'

wages Mr.. Taft thinks the employe'
are well paid. He probably will tall
