SHERMAN CONFERS
WITH PRESIDENT
RENIVES GOSSIP THAT NEW
YORK MAN WILL RE TAEIeS
RUNNING MATE.

WASHINGTON. Dec. 21.-Follow-
ing q Ion conference early today
between President Taft and Vice
President Sherman concerning poll
tics In New York State, gossip was
revived to the effect that Mr.. Sher-
man will again be Mr.. Taft's run
ming mate on the Republican presi-
Dental ticket in 1919. White House
officials attempted to create the I'M
preston that Mr.. Shernlan's whit
had solely to do with the case OF g
New York boy whose physical con-
dition had prevented his entering tho
Naval Academy. but close friends OF
Mr.. Sherman are firm in their con-
yiction that the conference was tie
by Mr.. Taft in New York yesterday,
not stand idly by and allow Mr.. Sher-
man to be pushed on the presidential
ticket. ~
While Mr.. Sherman has not come
out openly with the statement, it IL
well known that he VIII not permit
his name being mentioned as a pros
pective candidate for the New York
governorship, and that II he fails Of
securing the vice-presidential nomi-
nation he will retire from politics.
There Is understood to be consid-
cradle opposition In tho West to Mr..
Sherman. based upon the fact that
he is an advocate OF high protec-
ton, yet present indications are that
the Republicans will have to declare
in favor Of a reasonable amount OF
protection at the next convention.

There was an unusual accident to
train No, 10, Sunday morning, this
side OF ella Bend. 1t was running
along about 30 miles an hour, when
suddenly the crown sheet fell in and
boiler blew out on the engineers side.
There was 200 pounds of steam on,
and it came out in great force. 1t
blew Engineer Mart Adams out Of the
cab, and he landed some feet from the
track. Mr.. Adams is not bigger than
the ~proverbial cake Of soap after a
hard days washing, and the force Of
the steam took him optlike a feather.
He was seriously burned on the arms
and legs, but not much GU the body,
and the doctors say he will pull
through. Fireman Allen was on the
other side Of the cab. and was not
burned. The train was on an upgrade
and soon stopped and run back until
1t was stopped by the hand brakes,
and Adams was picked up and cared
for. Train No. 2 was running behind

pushed the disabled train into ella
