morning between this city and the
beach. when, near Huntington Park.

party OF children on the way to
school. One OF them, q child Of six,
was trudging along the track, her
books under her arm. She did not
see the heavy electric train. Quick

and plugged the car, but saw that
even at its diminished speed the train
would strike the child.

to the ground and ran as he had never
ran before. He and the driverless
train raced down the track toward the
child, one for life. the other for death.
Peters won. He reached the child, all
UNCONSCIOUS OF peril, snatched her In
his arms, sent her ON to school. and
then resumed his place at the con-
troller and the train sped on.

NAMES BOILERS DID
NOT EXPLODE, ANYWAY

WASHINGTON. November 10. At
least one fact has developed beyond
controversy In connection with the
excavation going on inside the Golfer
dam inclosing the wreck OF the Maine
In Havana Harbor. That is that the
ship was not blown up by her boilers.
Some persons have contendcd the
explosion of the boilers caused tho
magazines to explode In turn. Big
report from the army engineers
shows the workmen have uncovered
the tops of the boilers, which are in
tact. with one exception. That was
In the case of one OF the forward
boilers. which was not burst. hut
which had been driven bodily astern
by the blast from the magazine. 1t
had gone through a heavy bulkhead
| and against one Of the after boilers.
Another curious find was an am
munition case which had been blown
aft from the magazines into the rear
boiler room without exploding the
smokeless powder II contained.
The report shows that instead OF
being able to float, only the after
third of the hull. 1t is possible that
more than half of the ship can be
pumped out and foated out Of the
dam. This will greatly reduce the
work of removing the wreck from the
harbor.

WASHINGTON, d. c.. November "a
President Taft and Secretary Slim
son have held their first conference
in regard to fixing tolls for the pas
sage Of vessels through the new
Panama Canal. The text Of their dis
cussion was as to the best method
by which the canal could be made a
competitive agent against the trans
continental railroads. II Is desired to
bring the West and East nearer to-
gether In a business way. It Is the
opinion OF Secretary Stimson that the
waterway will make the two coasts
virtually contiguous. and water trans
portation will have a tendency TO reg
ulate railroad rates. The Panama
Railroad. he says never had this eff

high that fully 80 per cent of the
business has been handled by the
transcontinental lines. The opinions
expressed by Mr.. Stimson have the
approval OF the President.

TAFT and LOEB
GETTING READY
FOR Campaign
BY c. S. ALBERT.
Yes. SHOES!

Especial Bul1etfh Correspondence
WASHINGTON, Nov. 20.-Political
activity has been given an impetus
by the conference between President
Taft and William Loeb. Jr., Collector
" Customs at New York, who is listed
to manage the next Republican Ma
;ional campaign, stepping into the
shoes heretofore worn by Postmaster
General Frank H. Hitchcock.
The Presidents first intention wa
to select Charles D. IBiles, his secre-
tsry to head the Republican National
committee. He was dissuaded from
that purpose, the argument being ad-
varced that It would be well to leave
Mr.. Hilles alone In the difficult posi-
ton which he was now Milling with
general satisfaction. He a; once
turned to Mr.. Loeb. The fact that the
Collector had served during the in
|cumbency OF Col. Roosevelt as his
recretary did not dishesrten Mr.. Taft
1t only indicated that the breach be-
tween Mr., Taft and Mr.. Roosevelt has
extended to some OF those In whom
the former strenuous President most
relied.
This was the first meeting between
the President and Mr.. Loeb since L
was determined to have the young
Collector serve as manager OF the
party's interests In the next cam
?aign. Neither OF the participants In
the conference would discuss Il after
ward. but the fact remains that an
less circumstances arise to cause a
decided change In existing conditions
Mr.. Loeb will head the Republican
National Committee. A meeting OF the
committee will be held here December
~. to- ix a date and select plac,
for holding the next Republican no.
minating convention. II is probable the
shift will be made at that time, al
though II might be deferred until
The real activities OF the fight be-
gin.
As for himself, Mr.. Loeb declared
the Republican party OF New York TO
Re In good shape for achieving vic
tory. : He predicted that his State
would assuredy choose Republican
electors In November of next year.
He was greatly encouraged by reason
OF the recent elections. He thought
the tide had turned and people were
regaining their normal feeling.

CANAL Tolls TO
Be 81 TO $I.25
PER TON

Information has reached a number
OF local sugar men interested In the
matter that the Panama Canal toll
rates will be fixed at 81 to s1.25 a ton,
and there will be special canal
measurement similar to that of, the
Suez Canal.
Whether or not coastwlse shipping
will be specially favored BY legisla-
tion is said to be doubtful. The Hoo
nolulu Chamber Of Commerce. In COM
mon with most of the prominent COM
mcrcial bodies of the mainland. has
endorsed the free-toll plan for Amer
lean shipping, which would mean a
saving of many thousand dollars an
nually to Hawaii, inasmuch az a great
part OF the sugar cargo will pass
through the canal.
The charges will be flxed on cost of
the maintenance of the waterway, the
cost Of coaling ships and the distance
saved by vessels going through the
canal, instead Of round the Cape Of
Good Hope or through the Straits OF
Magellan.
The government has studied out
carefully the geographical position Of
the Panama Canal In regard to routes.
The, charge for space taken up on pas
senger ships for smoking roms, prom
enades and other saloons for the COM
fort of passengers will not be so heavy
as those on the Suez Canal.
There will be plenty of American
steamships ready by the time the Pa
mama Canal Is opened. The American
