Pacific steamer Princess May struck

panic-stricken passengers aboard were

Again the wireless played a prom.

hour after the Princess May ran on
the reef every wireless station along
the coast had recorded appeals for aid.
Two fast cutters reached Sentinel islet
before the tunnels of the ship disap-

Impenetrable fog and gloom en-

fiShinU for Hawks.

It Is not often the fortune Of a fish
erman to catch hawk with hook and
line, but such an experience befell G.
L. Freudenberger of Melbourne, Pa.
Mr.. Freudenberger is an enthusiastic
disciple of Izaak Walton and every
spring goes into the Pocono region for
a few days sport with the brook trout.
A few weeks ago he was whipping one
of the small streams that have made
the region famous as a trout fishing
resort, and with hip boots was wading
in the icy spring water, casting his
small, feathered flies into every likely
looking pool, when suddenly, in the
middle of a long cast, he felt his rod
jerk and the line buzzed through the
reel fast enough to burn his tackle.
He quickly looked into the air and
saw the hook and flies had been mis-
taken for an insect by large sharp
Skinned hawk, which was doing his
best to fly away with the whole outfit.
man included. Taking in the situation
at a glance and excited with the nov
city of his catch, Freudenberger played
the hawk as he would fish.
After a fight of over one-half hour
the bird became exhausted and flut-
tered to the ground, when the fisher
man picked 1t up, extracted the hook
from its mouth and set it free. sad

5000 ENGINEERS ASK
10 PER CENT. INCREASE

at Conference.

Chicago. At a conference just
completed it was decided to ask
the 62 railroads west of Chicago for a
fat increase in wages of Is to Is per
cent. by the $4,000 locomotive en-
gineers employed thereon.
Several roads were added to the pro-
posed list during the conference, bring

mands will be presented as soon as
possible after the return of the dele
gates to their respective roads, each
road receiving an individual scale from
its employees.
The engineers employed in the
switching yards of the Chicago ter
minals of the roads affected are in
cluded in the general demands. The
Chicago & Eastern Illinois and Evans
vile & Terre Haute lines are affected
as part of the Frisco system.
1t is understood that conferences
between the railroad officials and the
laborites will commence about Sep
TENDER 20, and it is probable that the
dispute will be left to federal arbitra-
tion under the Erdman act.
If the demands are granted, the ad.
ditional yearly cost to the roads in
volved will amount to millions of dol
lars. The conductors and trainmen,
who re members of the Brotherhood
of Railroad Trainmen and the Order
of Railway Conductors, will closely

IOWA REPUBLICANS MEET
IN WARM STATE CONVENTION
President Taft Is Given a Weak In

Cummins Scores Tariff Law.

Des Moines, Ia-Following a day
of bitter factional controversy mark
ed by Kisses and cat-calls for
United States senators and ex-con-
gressmen. the Iowa Republican con-
yention came to a close after adopting
a platform and nominating candidates
for the supreme bench and superin-

naming state central committee.
The resolutions as adopted dismiss
consideration of the president with
the clause, I'VE indorse such efforts
as President Taft and his advisers
have made to fulfill the promises Of
the national platform"
They reaffirm their loyalty to the
platform of 1908 but do not recognize
the revision of 1909 as satisfactory
fulfillment Of the party promise and
therefore favor the creation of an in
dependent non-partisan tariff commit
tee to secure facts regarding imports
and urge revision of schedules separ-
ately. They commend Senators Dol
liver and Cummins for their work
upon the tariff bill, the railroad bill
and the postal savings bill" They
commend the action of the house in
revising the rules. They indorse the
antitrust law and recommend it be
given additional strength to meet the
devices of modern industry. They
favor the fixing OF a physical valua-
ton on railroads in order to secure
effective control of rates and COM
plete system of accounting. They
favor amendments to the postal saw
ings law to keep the money deposited
with the government within the COM
munities where deposited. They favor
conservation of natural resources.
They indorse the primary law. They
promise there would be no backward
steps along prohibition lines in Iowa.
They demand election of United
States senator by direct vote of the peo-
pie. They insist on a readjustment of
the representation of Republicans in
national convention. They favor an
income tax, and favor cooperation Of
the national government in enlarging
the usefulness of the system Of public
education.
Under the primary law, the nomina-
tons for state officers were made at
the primaries in June excepting for
supreme judges and superintendent of

killed and at least twelve were injured
when the regular evening passenger
rain from San Francisco to Santa

way was struck by a special engine
and caboose a mile and a half south of

we're riding in the smoking car of the

were delegates to the state convention
IF Red Men, which meets at Santa
Rosa. The wreck occurred at sharp
curve. The passenger train was trav
cling at a speed of forty miles an hour
and the special train was also going at
fair speed. AT the office of the train
dispatcher the information was given
out that one of the conductors had
made a mistake in his orders and
tailed to take a siding.
From the smoking car came shrieks
and groans. 1t seemed that the passen-
gers in the smoker-between twenty
i've and thirty men-had been caught
IN a sitting position and those who
we're not killed were unable to help
themselves. Efforts to open windows
Or remove the broken timbers were
fruitless. Work on the rear half of the
smoker was easier. Some of the res
cuers scattered TO nearby houses to
telephone for help, while others sought
% get the injured out of the wreck.
A headless corpse was found lying
by the side of the track. Another body
was found in sitting position in

BROWN MUST STAND TRIAL.
Motion to Quash Bribery Bill Against
