SIGNAL LIGHTS TAKEN
BY LAD TO LIGHT BARN;
ALTON TRAINS TIED UP

JOLIET. ILL. Aug. l9.-Because
John Rossi a farmer boy, took two
signal lights from the Chicago and AL
ton railroad to light his barn while he
did the chores. the railroad was tied
up for two hours on Friday and Sat
urday nights. When the lights winked
out last night detectives were waiting
and today Rossi will appear in court to
explain.
The absence OF the lights, besides
causing serious delay in the traffic OF
the road, almost caused rear-end col
lision between a passenger train and
a freight. Officials say it is surprising
that there was no wreck.

TAI 7 FOR TEST
Of CANAL BILL
ConferS With Cabinet Over Free
ToIIS-May Send 1t to the
Supreme Court.

WASHINGTON. Aug 19-President
Taft and his cabinet yesterday discuss
ed the Panama canal bill and the
question of possible presidential veto
of the measure. Every member of Mr..
Taft's official family who was in town
was present, and the discussion lasted
for an hour after luncheon time. but
no decision was reached. The presi-
dents inclination. it was said today, is
to approve the bill, but he is anxious
to have provisions made for a legal
test of the matter of free tolls for
American ships. The cabinet was I'M
derstood to agree with him that there
is basis for believing that the bill with
the free tolls clause in 1t. is not in
conformity with the Hay -Pauncefote
treaty
When the conference was over the
president was still of the opinion that
the best way to test the bills agree
ment with the treaty was to have the
United States supreme court pass upon
It. He will confer with senate and
house leaders in the next few days and
will devote most of his own time to
bordering over this one bill Most of
the Republican leaders in both houses,
and probably some of the leading Dem
ocrats. will be called into consultation,
and the bill will be gone over with care.
