New Appendix Disease.

London.-A fresh series of indict-
ments was brought against the appen-
dix in a cause of human suffering at
a meeting of the Royal Society of Med
icine. Twenty four operation cases
in which the chief symptoms were
stomach pains due to an unrecogniz-
ed disease of the appendix, were de-
scribed. In 15 cases the operation was
undertaken for a supposed ulcer
either in the stomach or in the ad-
joining intestine, only to find that
these parts were normal, while the
appendix was diseased.
DR.. Herbert ]. Paterson, who read
paper on the subject, suggested the
name appendicular gastralgia for the
new disease. on account or its mos
prominent symptom, a stomach pair
due to a disease OF the appendix.

Shipbuilding Record.

London.-England's latest Dread

tablished a record in rapid evolution
from bare keel to commissioned ship.
Only % months elapsed between the
laying down of her keel and the date
of her commissioning as completely
equipped and manned fighting unit of
the fleet. This is the shortest time
occupied in building any of the big
battleships, except the original Dread
nought, which was constructed under
exceptional rush conditions. The
other Dreadnoughts have taken an av-
erage of 81 months to build.

Albany March 21.-President Taft
left early today for New York. A
conference with Earl Grey on the Ca
madam tariff yesterday was without
result as Canada refused to concede
anything. The president arrived at
New Haven this afternoon to attend
the meeting of the Yale Corporation.
Ten Days Remain.
Ten days remain for friendly ne

The president has been keenly alive

University club banquet here Satur'
! day night Mr.. Taft referred to the fac
that he had invited Mr.. Fielding tC

might not be devised to avert a tariff

riously estimated at from 25 to 35
miles an hour, when upon rounding
the curve they saw the wrecked en-
gine but few yards in front of them.
The engineer was evidently the first
to see the obstruction and without a
word he closed the throttle, threw on
the air brakes and swung out of his
side of the cab. He was followed an
instant later by the brakeman, who
went through the window. Though
neither had said word, Fireman
Wilson concluded something was
wrong so swung out onto the run
ming board on his side and dropped,
just as the nose of their engine struck
the corner of the derailed tender and
was shunted off on the other side,
down the 75-foot embankment into
the river. Had he been a moment
later death would have been his por-

All three of those who jumped mi

as a scratch, despite the rate OF
speed at which their train was
moving. The engineer and brakeman
rolled down the soft embankment,
while the fireman landed in a pool
of water that had escaped from the
wrecked tender. He remained where
he fell for what seemed to him like
an age, expecting to have the cars pile
on top of his.

which the old committee took no ac-
ton. They include many matters, It is
declared, suppressed by Cannon. The
new committee expected to have q
big task. 1t is admitted today that
the Cannon forces will control the
caucus that names the members OF
the committee and it is believed they
will attempt to capture the majority,
thus leaving the insurgents only pa
per victory.
The greatest result of the rules rev.
olution in the house so far as the pres
ent session is concerned, will be full
discussion of the Taft legislative pro-
gram on the floor. according to in
surgent leaders today. mo matter
how the new committee on rules In

today, "it has been settled who has
the control no matter what the
new committee may do, the house it
self will have the last say. 1 believe
our victory was a step toward the full
fillment of the platform pledges or
the party"
Indications are today that the in
surgents will have no place on the
rules committee.
A Quiet Day.

without incident. Routine business
was transacted and there wfas moth

Paws for ReckleSsness With life.
Everything seems to indicate that
the wreck was due to the reckless
running Of light engine and that
Engineer Risk paid the penalty OF his
recklessness with his life. 1t is pos
sible. however, that the wreck was
caused by some obstruction which
had rolled onto the track or by soft
roadbed, though neither of the latter
theories are generally accepted by
railroad men and others who have Wis
tied the scene.
Engine No. 215 was running light

Umatilla, after having assisted extra

the mountain from La Grande. The
freight went ahead at Kamela but
was passed by the light" engine al
