ously injured when the engine crashed

Thirty-four residents and resorters
from Charlevoix, on the dummy"

reversed, lessening the force Of the
impact.

left Petoskey was due to meet subur
ban train No. II, known as the dunn
N.Y." at Superior siding, but it is
thought the engineer, Jacob Kothe, Of
the passenger, who was new on the

Taft Signs Canal Bill.

President Taft signed the Panama
canal bill at 7:10 o'clock Saturday
night. Following this he sent to con-
gress a memorandum, suggesting the
advisability Of the passage OF reso-
luton which would declare that this.
measure was not considered by this
government violation of the treaty
provisions regarding the canal. In
discussing the British protest against
the exemption of American shipping
from the payment of tolls for the use,
of the canal, Mr. Taft says the ire
sistible conclusion to be drawn from
1t Is that although the United States
owns, controls and has paid for the
canal, 1t Is restricted by treaty from
aiding its own commerce in the way
that all the other nations of the world
may freely do"
