PLANS TRAIN FERRY To
. CROSS ENGLISH CHANNEL
Former Canadian Railroad Presi-
dent Announces Through Ser
vice from Dover to Calais
(snecial to The Herald.l

LONDON, April 14.-Sir Charles
Rivers Wilson, former president of the
Grand Trunk railway, announced to-
day that in less than two years train
ferry would be running between Dover
and Calais, and that similar service
would be established between Follxe-
stone and Boulogone, as well as other
ports on the main lines of travel be-
tween England and the continent.
Sir William White and SIR John
Barry, prominent engineers, are
hard at work on the plan.
"Englishmen exclaim impossible "
said Sir Charles today. ION the con-
trary it is entirely possible. At least
seventy-two train ferries in operation
in Canada and the United States, not
to mention service between the Scandt-
navian peninsula and Germany, enable
travellers to cross stretches of water
while peacefully slumbering in their
car berths. To be sure, the English
channel is rough sometimes. but so
is Lake Michigan, where 1 have travel
ed on train ferry in perfect comfort
for a long distance"

wv ASHINGTON, April 14.--In deliv-

the American Sugar Refining
company in the house of representatives
today Mr.. Rainey of Illinois did not
hesitate to make bold suggestions con-
cerning that most corrupt and rotten
trust ever created by the protective
tariff system" and President Taft, At
torney General Wickersham and Henry
w. Taft, brother of the president.
Mr.. Rainey referred to President
Taft's message, sent to congress about
a year ago, in which the president ad-
vised against an investigation of the
sugar frauds by congress for the rea-
son that "it might, by giving immunity
and otherwise, prove an embarrassment
in securing convictions of the guilty
parties.
Reviewing the history of the sugar
trust Mr. Rainey said in part:
1.-THE attorney general of the United
States was, until his appointment, a
sugar trust attorney, exhibiting even
now a remarkable sympathy for Its
officials in their difficulties.
"The general counsel for the sugar
trust is an ex-assistant attorney gen.
eral of the United states, loyal to the
Republican party, familiar with the
methods and with the secrets or the
attorney generals office.
1.-THE brother of the president of the
United States is one of the attorneys
for the sugar trust.
~. f. Parsons, the father of former
president of the New York county Re
publican committee, is under indict'
ment on account of his offense against
the law in philadelphia.
LAW WILL SAVE THEM SOON
1.-THE last of the frauds committed by
the sugar trust occurred on the goth
day of November, 1907. The statute OF
limitations is running every day, and
will Soon become a complete ban
against any criminal prosecution that

IAssoclated Press1


w AsHINGTON. April 14.-!Thc
w president of the United States
w the first chief executive of the
nation ever to greet a convention OF
woman suffragsts, tonight had the
courage to confess his opinion and
was hssed.
So great was the throng that sought
admission to the hall that hundreds
were turned away.
President Taft was welcoming to
Washington the delegates to the con-
vention of the Woman National Suf-
frage association. He told them frank
ly he was not altogether in sympathy
with the suffrage movement and was
explaining why he could not subscribe
fully to its principles. He said he
thought one of the dangers In grant
ing suffrage to women was that wom-
en-, as a whole, were not interested IN
it, and the ballot. so far as womer
are concerned, would be controlled "by
the less desirable class"
When these words fell from the
presidents lips the walls of the hal
echoed a chorus of feminine Kisses
1t was no feeble demonstration of pro
test. The combined Kisses sounded as
if valve on a steam engine had bro
ken.
President Taft stood unmoved in the
hisses continued for but a moment
and then, smiling as he spoke, he an,
swered the unfavorable greeting with
this retort:
REBUKE PROVES EFFECTIVE
"Now, my dear ladies, you must
show yourselves capable of suffrage
by exercising that degree of restrain
which Is necessary in the conduct o.
government affairs by not hissing:'
The women who had hissed were re
buked. The presidents reply appar
entity had taken hold. There were M
more Kisses while the president con
tinued his address, which he charac
terized as my confession" on tn
woman suffrage question.
At the conclusion of his talk he wa
applauded and some of the leaders o
the convention expressed to him thei
sincere regret over the unpleasant in
cident.
president Taft assured them his feel
ings were not injured in the least.
The American Woman Suffrage as
sociation today began its forty-seconC
annual convention here.
Thirty-flVe states were represented
at the meeting of the executive com
mittee Representative A. w. Rucke
of Colorado, one of the four states
where women vote and a delegate t.

The committee was informed that al

citation of the fact. j. II. Braley, rep

At left, Adolph o. Eherhardt Re-
publican candidates; at right, James
Gray, Democratic nominee.


ST. Paul, Mimi, oct. with the
two opposing gubernatorial candidates
now hustling over the state and maxi
ing two speeches each day, James
Gray, the Democratic nominee and
Adolph .. Eberhardt, the Republican
candidate To succeed himself as gov
ernor, give promise of furnishing as
strenuous and as heated a campaign
i'm Minnesota as has ever taken place
in the state.
During the last two weeks these OPP
posing candidates have been making
the rounds of county fairs. often
speaking from the same platform on
non-partsan subjects. James Gray
formally launched his campaign at
Fergue Falls, Sept "a, while Gov
ernor Eberhardt makes his keynote
speech in his home town at Mankato,
oct. 4.
This year the indications are that
the campaign will be made on state is
sues, in which national policies and
progressive principles will come i'm on
~ for limited consideration.
a peculiar situation exists i'm the
Democratic ranks. John Lind, former
governor OF the state and an idol in
his party, second not even TO the late
Governor Johnson, was given the
nomination for governor at
the state convention held in Minneap-
oils last July. Mr., Lind, who was at
that time on his way to Alaska, re-
fused the nomination, but hoping for
Lind's acceptance upon further con-
sideration the Democratic committee
did not undertake to fill the vacancy
until about three weeks ago.
James Gray, who was then placed
by the committee, at the head of the
ticket, was not generally known over

Now we are assured by the health
authorities of the village Of Laurium
that the open sewers are not respon-
sible for the epidemic of contagious
diseases in the community. They at
tribute the contagion to other causes,
such as accumulation of filth on pri-
vate premises, the absence of proper
sewer connections and the breaking
Of quarantine
No doubt these causes have a great
deal to do with the prevalence of so
much sickness, and all residents
should cooperate with the authori-
ties in bringing about better condi-
lions. Filth can be cleaned up, san
itary sewer connections made and
quarantine restrictions rigidly observ-
ed If all citizens awake to the dangers
of the causes mentioned.
AS for the open sewers they should
be covered. 1t is a question whether
they are directly responsible for the
presence of so much diphtheria and
scarlet fever, but the public generally
is inclined to the belief the sewers are
at least partial contributing cause
and will not feel safe until the omen
sewers are closed, and traps placed
In all man-holes to prevent the escape
OF sewer gas. One Of these open sew
ers, to the north Of Laurium. is now
being filed in by the Calumet e. Hec-
Ia Mining Co. The other. running
to the east of the village, should re-
ceive similar attention at the hands
OF the village. Action i'm this direction
was started last evening when the
council submitted the matter To
committee which will make an inves-
tigation and also report on what le-
gal steps would be necessary to bring
about the desired improvement. The
report Of this committee will be an
important one for it no doubt will de-
termine the course Of the council in
dealing with the remaining open sew
er nuisance.

ESTIMATING AGE OF WORLD
Various Professors Have Guessed
Earth Was Anywhere From 20
TO 400 Million Years Old.

Lord Kelvin, half century ago, put
forth the opinion that the age of the
earth might be anywhere from 90
600. 900 to 100000 900 years. says the
Christian World, but later in life. he
cut his fnaximum estimate down 10
100000 600 years. Seventeen years ago.
Doctor Walcott OF the Smithsonian In
stitution. reckoned that our globe
was probably 100000 years old.
Professor Jolly, IL years ago. esti-
mated the age of the sea at 10000, 600
years; while Sofas quite lately reck-
oned that "old ocean" had rolled over
its sandy bed for a period anywhere
between S0,000.000 and 10000, 900
years. And now our geological sur
vey professors. having found the same
problem of the earth's antiquity who'll
ly beyond their skin. have resorted to
Scientific guessing" like all of their
forerunners. They guess" that this
world of ours has been in existence

600, 900 years.

four great problems have occupied |
the mind of man, viz: The earth;
the heavens above; God the Creator. |
and man and his destiny. These are
still the master studies of the race,
and each successive age gives us
deeper insight into them. II is a
fine thing when men of intellect take
up such studies earnestly and with
reverence. The more they investigate
IN this spirit the sooner will they
race clearly the lines of agreement
hat exist between science and the
ess need will there be for a resort to
'guesswork," such as that we have
'een in relation to the age Of the

itorial writer for the Minneapolis
Journal
Governor Eberhardt, his opponent,
enjoys wider acquaintance over the
state having made two campaigns as
the Republican nominee for lieuten-
ant-governor, i'm both of which cases
he was elected. He was installed in
this office at the time of Governor
Johnson's death one year ago, sue
ceeding him as chief executive OF the
state. BY reason of this accident the
Democrats lost To the Republicans
the head of the government in Mime
sofa.
In addition to the strength he has
developed while governor is it ex-
pected that Governor Eberhardt will
receive considerable support by reason
of his Scandinavian ancestry. Min
nesota is largely populated with peo-
pie Of Norwegian and Swedish decent,
and during the last fifteen years every
governor of the state has come from
among their numbers.
Governor Eberhardt. besides point
ing out the record of his administra-
ton during the years he has been in
Offices, is preparing to make his cam

stump in favor of Gray's candidacy
