EMPLOYERS Liability Bill.

The enlightened conscience Cf the
American people is back of President
Taft's recommendation of the en-
ployer's liability and workmen S
compensation bill drawn by his en-
ployer's liability commission.
The measure represents construc-
tive craftsmanship and its enact
ment will mark long stride forwarl
in social justice.

DAVENPORT, Iowa, February 3.-Six
hundred union employees of the Rock
Island arsenal have voted unanimously
to strike in case the government installs
the so-called Taylor shop system at the
arsenal.
This announcement was made this aft
ernoon. The action was taken at secret
meeting in Rock Island last night Local
unions will Immediately seek permission
from the national organization to walk
out.
The War Department is determined to
continue it's test of a system of scientific
management at the Rock Island arsenal.
Officers are confident that the workmen
will not strike when they understand
the object i'm view.
Brig. Gen. Crozier, chief of ordnance,
yesterday instructed the officer in charge
of the Rock Island arsenal, to make plain
to the employees the governments inten-
tion not to use the system in any way to
their disadvantage.
Select men of reliable character for
inaugurating it and in sufficiently small
numbers to permit full explanation" was
one of the instructions.

Flames Shoot High in Air.

NEWPORT NEWS, Va, February g.
Capt. Thomle of the Norwegian steamer
Texas, which arrived here today, sighted
the burning steamer at . O'clock with the
British steamer Castle Eden standing by,
and Immediately flashed a wireless to
Norfolk. At that time the ship was
veritable furnace and had been deserted
by her crew, which was picked up by the
Castle Eden.
Capt. Thomle said that the cabin and
bridge, located, amidships, had been
burned away and collapsed, and that
flames were shooting out of No. 1 hatch
and from the engine room, thirty feet in
the air. The only places the fire ap-
peared not to have spread to was the bow

rInding that no lives were to be saved,
the Texas changed its course for this
port, leaving the British steamer Badger.
which had come up in the meantime,
and the Castle Eden standing by. The
Texas met the revenue cutter Onondaga
and Merritt-Chapman wrecking tug
speeding to the aid of the burning vessel.
Later message, supposedly from the
Onondaga reported that the Castle Eden
had gotten line to the Consuls and
was towing her toward the Virginia
capes.
While everything combustible was
burned and her cargo probably will be
total loss, Capt. Thomle said that the
hull of the ship could have been saved
with the proper fire fighting facilities, and
it is believed that the wrecking tug and
revenue cutter accomplished this.

PARK SITE FOR
MEMORIAL TO LINCOLN
Fight Over Design Is Regarded
as Sure to Be Carried
to Congress.

The Potomac Park site for the great
100000 memorial to Abraham Lincoln
has been decided upon. The decision
was reached yesterday afternoon at a
meeting of the Lincoln memorial COM
mission in the executive offices of the
White House. The commission will re-
port it's recommendations to Congress in
short time.
No decision was reached. however, as
to the memorial to go upon the site.
That is to be settled at future meeting
of the commission. There are two definite
plans under consideration, those Of Rob
ert Bacon of New York and Mr.. Pope.
The plans of these artists are at the
National Museum.
The Potomac Park site selected by the
commission Is directly west of the Wash
ington Monument and in the most con-
SpicuOus place In the park. The opinion
was practically unanimous that the site
will be most desirable one. Other sites
were considered.~but this one has been
most favored from the beginning.
The fight over the memorial to be
erected will be carried to Congress, no
matter what the decision, and there may
be fight over tie site.

FLEE FIRE ON SHIP |
Crew of British Steamer Con-
soils Saved From Roasting.
BLAZING VESSEL IN TOW
Floating Furnace Being Rushed to
Hampton Roads to Save
Her Hull.

NORFOLK, February 3-With a fire
burning so fiercely in her hold that ner
crew could not stoke the boilers or man
the engines, the British steamer Con-
soils of Liverpool, with a valuable cargo
of cotton from Galveston bound to
Hamburg. tonight is being towed with
all possible speed to Hampton roads.
After wireless reports told the Con-
soils was afire and needed assistance the
vessel was picked up by the British
steamer Castle Eden. from Savannah,
bound to Danish ports. The United
States battleship New jersey. en- route
northward from Guantanamo, was near
when the vessel was picked up, and sent
word by wireless of the rescue. The
New Jerseys message said the Consols'
crew had abandoned their vessel and
gone on board the Castle Eden, because
the fire had made such heaway that
the buring steamer could not be navi-
gated and the men were in peril.
The Consols was discovered afire off
Bodie Island, on the North Carolina
coast, early today. Wireless messages
sent the revenue cutter Onondaga to
find the distressed vessel. The cutter
had not reached the Consols when the
Castle Eden took the burning ship in
tow.

severe draft upon his strength and
energy, his campaign work, and the
strain upon his nervous system incident
to the necessity for a critical surslcal
operation upon one OF his cnlidren,
simply overtaxed even his almost super

upcn him the necessity for a temporary

ia tions. and he finally has vanceled his
speaking engagements for the next two
Weeks. and viii drop all work to take a
