Mary Pilo, however, the seven-year- old daughter Of Joseph, failed to rally, al- though she recovered consciousness.

 How the, gas came to be turned on is unknown. although it is thought it was entirely accidental. Pilo has been in this country IS years. it is said so it seems strange that he did not have better knowledge of the

TAFT AND CABINET WAIT FOR RESULTS
 IN N. Y. AND INDIANA

plot really begins to thicken.
 President Taft has been told blunt ly that there is only a forlorn hope for a Republican House in the next Congress-and that hope is depend ent upon some bold stroke on the part of the administration. The de- Alterations on the part of the cabin ct this week, the administration leaders hope, will result in some new plan of sa1utation for the party. Possibly the new plan may be given publicity in the speech which the President is to make Saturday night before the League of Republican Clubs at New York.
 This will be the only political ad- dress to be made during the cam paign by the Chief Executive. It naturally will be regarded as a. f'key- note' for the administration course. The President himself is giving it deep thought and will submit the original draft, dictated by him while en route from Cincinnati Saturday, to the cabinet for their approval. If it is decided to take offensive tactics against the advancing Democratic forces. the President will detail the plan in his speech.
 But for today at least it was said the cabinet will lay aside politics and make plans for the rushing through Of big program of legislation at the coming session. If the Democrats do win the administration will try to condense two years work into a few months of the coming session.
