Taft Trying To Beat Democrats

Washington, Jan. %. Activity,
such as has seldom been displayed
by committees so early in the first
regular session of congress, is now
in evidence in both wings Of the
capitol.
Although there are practically
three parties. regular republi-
cans, = 'insurgent republicans and
democrats, there are signs on every
hand that President Taft is daily
gaining supporters for his leglsla-
tive programme. The skill shown by
the president in avoiding clashes
with either republican faction and
the knack he has exhibited in COM
pelling the aid Of both in his tight
for the redemption of party pledg-
es has noticeably impressed the
democratic minority.
In the house there are indications
that threatened fusion of democrats
and insurgent republicans on sever
al legislative questions IS now fear
ed by the majority.
Taft is trying to beat the demo
Gratis out Of any prospect Of control

prominent democratic leader OF the
senate yesterday IF il were not

he almost reached the diner when he
lost his footing and was plunged into
the icy water. But projecting pipe
from the roof Of the diner was within
his reach and climbing up by means of
the pipe, he ran along the top Of the
diner to the shore.
The telegraph wires were all torn
down and it was evident relief could
not be summoned by wire. It was five
miles to the village of Naira and the
drenched survivor ran the distance to
deliver a report of the wreck at the
Canadian Pacific depot at Nairn.
Meanwhile Conductor Thomas Rey-
nolds rescued eight passengers from
the dining car. When the wreck oc-
Cured, Reynolds, with w. J.. Bell
and David Brodie, had just sat down
to dinner. Bell and Brodie were fac
ing the engine and Reynolds sat op-
posite them, riding backwards. The
diner was the last car to enter the
water and did not sink at once, but
settled slowly while the passengers
climbed upon the tables to keep their
heads above the water.
With several passengers in water
up to their chins the situation was
desperate. Conductor Reynolds made
a dive for window, broke the glass
and succeeded in rising to the surface
Of the river outside the car. With one
arm on the roof of the car, he broke a
fan light with his fist and rescued
little Alfonso Rousel or Sault Ste.
Marie.
Six other passengers were taken
out through hole in the roof of the
car.
Mrs. Ruth Houde, aunt of the lit
tie boy who was rescued, was almost
saved with the others, but slipped
back into the water and was drowned.
Four hours after the wreck occur
red the body of Fireman G.. E. Goldie
Of indianapolis was found under the
tender. Conductor Frank Stadtlander
Of Newport, Kentucky died soon after
being taken to the hospital. The con-
dition of Baggageman John stickel
Of Cincinnati is pronounced grave.
Eleven bodies had been recovered up
to 6: 80 o. m. and it is believed that
there are 35 or DO still in the submerg-
ed cars.

given handsome recognition in the shape
of increased salaries, it IS no credit to
them that they remained teaching ii
ST. Johnsbury and il il certainly less
81 credit to the town which hire them
for 50 many years. IN other lines Of
work il is decided that as the workman
advances in experience he deserves better

apply to the teaching profession. Per
