THREE LINES OF ACTION
OPEN TO BRITAIN
IN CANAL DISPUTE.

Washington, Sept, 3.--No less
than three separate and distinct
Zines of action" are open to the
British government in dealing with
the problem raised by the passing of
the Panama Canal tolls act.
1t is assumed here that because
there is more than one available
avenue for British shipping to seek
relief, the British Foreign Office has
said the notice of an appeal for alb
bitration was premature
President Taft has indicated one
method by which the problem may
be attacked Congress, however,
did not think well Of the suggestion
That was to include in the act a
paragraph giving jurisdiction to the
American courts to pass upon wheth-
er the act constituted a discrimina-
tion against British shipping, In vio-
lation of the Hay-Pauncefote treaty.
Another means Of dealing with the
British grievance would be to al
low any British owner to test, under
existing law, before any United
States court, his right to use the
canal under the treaty on terms of

New York, Sept. 3.--Charles D.
Hilles, chairman of the Republican
National committee, announced, to-
day that complete record of all CON
tributions to the campaign fund OF
the Republican party will be made
public shortly after October is.
Hilles said that in making this
announcement the Republican Ma
tional committee is not actuated by
desire to be virtuous, but took this
course because of the congressional
campaign fund publicity act signed
by President Taft in August, 1911,
contains specific provisions that all
national committees, organized for
the election of a national ticket or
for the furtherance of a congression-
al campaign, must make public their
campaign contributions not more
than fifteen days and not less than
ten days prior to the election.

cannot reciprocate, as to his plat
form He denied emphatically
that the Progressive planks on the
tariff and the trusts constituted the
party's real program. Turning to the
tariff the former President stated
that the Governor was diverting at

he took up tariff changes as a rem
edy for the evils of the day.

PASTOR IN DARING,
RESCUE WHEN 40
PERISH IN FLOOD
Saves Family Of Four, ClingiDg to
Tree, After Eight Unsuc-
cessful Attempts
Associated Press Dispatch.

Associated Press Dispatch.
Pittsburg, Pa, Sept 3.--As COM
munication with the afflicted sec
tion becomes established, stories of
heroic and thrilling rescues become
numerous. One particularly spec
tacular feat was the rescue of Henry
Endler, his wife and two children.
of Avella, in Washington county, by
the Rev. r. f Heany. pastor of the
Presbyterian church there.
The Endler home was crushed
against railroad eulverf and the
family was washed downstream.
Three children were hurled on the
bank and escaped while Endler,
with his wife and two other child
ren, succeeded In catching hold Of
the branches Of a tree, where they
were marooned.
Heany heard their cries and sum-
moned help. Procuring a rope, he
fastened it about his wrist and while
six men held one end of it he
plunged into the torrent and made
for the marooned family. Eight
times he was washed past the flood
refugees and was hauled out to try
1t over again. Then he reached the
tree, the rope was fastened about
Mrs. Endler and she was dragged
through the torrent to safety.
To return the rope to the ma
rooned pastor and the Endlers, it
was fastened to a huge block of
wood, which was carried upstream
and thrown in, SO that it would be
carried into the tree One by one
the family was taken to safety, Pas
tor Heany being the last to be pulled
ashore.
The number of fatalities arising
from the floods in Western Pennsyl-
vania, the Panhandle of West Vir-
ginia and Eastern Ohio, was in
creased to 40 today when it became
known that John Demstel, his wife
and two children, were missing from
the ruins of their homo on Cahtiers
Greek near Canonsburg, Pa. The
loss to property is estimated at So
100000 and hundreds of families
are homeless.
Food in some sections is scarce
because railroad Communication has
been cut off, but caravans of loaded
wagons are making their way over
badly washed roads, bearing needed
supplies,

Davenport, Ia, Sept. b., Senator
Albert b. Cummins OF Iowa, in a
public statement issued today, de-
clares he expects to vote for Col.
Roosevelt for President, but is OPP
posed to the formation Of third
party,
He does not believe President Taft
was the choice of the Republicans
of tho nation.
"The denomination of President
Taft" said Senator Cummins, was
opposed by an Overwhelming ma
jority of the Republicans throughout
the country, simply because, in his
administration Of the Office OF Presi-
dent, he had not done nor said the
things which the great body of the
people believed he should have done
and said A meager minority sue
ceeded in renominating him.
Says Revolt Was Certain.
THE man who could not see that
there would be rebellion whenever
these oyer-represonted states forced
nomination against the strong OPP
position Of the states in which there
is a real Republican party, was
blind as a bat, and the man who
could not hear the rumble of the
rising storm was deaf as an adder.
IF the convention which nominat-
cd Mr.. Taft had changed the sys-
TEN, in obedience to the popular de-
mand, We might have had patience
to wait; but as though wanting to
furnish every reason for revolt, 1t
attempted to fasten it still more
firmly upon us. II this were all.
we would be amply justified in over
throwing the system by refusing TO
accept the nominee.
But this is not all The system
as It is was not enough
to overcome the adverse majority in
the Republican states, and therefore
the complaisant committee, and fol-
lowing them, the convention, delib-
erately seated Taft delegates from
oubi Ia sytN hrfv "a
and Texas, who had not a shadow OF
title to seats in the convention. H.
speak of these states because | have
examined the record as to them and
have reached a conclusion after the
most careful study and reflection.
And thus the will of tremendous
majority was defeated by the power
of bad system and the machina-
tions of committee.
Remedy in Taft's Defeat.
81 take no pleasure In reciting
these things, for | would'like to sup
port Republican candidate for
President. There is but one way
however, to make sure that the sys-
TEN will be abolished, and It's scenes
never repeated, and that is to make
il plain that the candidate who is
the product of the system and the
beneficiary of the methods cannot
reach the office to which he as
pires. Therefore cannot support
Mr., Taft.
"In so saying | am all the more a
Republican, for it is clear to me that
the existence of the party depends
upon quick and emphatic condem-
nation of the wrongs have men
toned, and am In perect harmony
with the declaration Of the Iowa Re-
publican platform.
THE reason the Republicans were
80 largely against the denomination
OF Mr.. Taft was their conviction that
he is not a progressive and does not

For many years political students
have pointed out that any decrease
in the Republican majority in Ver-
mont In September, below the nor
NAL of 25 1000 has been followed in
variably by party defeat in the pres
idential fight in November
These majorities, which have aver
aged close to 10000 In all the state
elections In Vermont In presidential
years since 1892, were represented
by bare plurality. The Republi-
can loss apparently went in a great
degree to the Progressives and to
somewhat lesser extent to the Dem
ocrats.

The Beulah Baptist church will
meet for their regular monthly SER
vices next Saturday at IL O'Clock
and on Sunday at II o'clock. The
regular monthly meetings will be
held on the second Sabbaths in 1912
instead of on the third Sabbaths as
heretofore. This change is made
for the accommodation of the peo-
pie who wish to exchange courtesies
and atten more than one church
contiguous. The attendance at Beu-
lab has been very gratifying during
last year and we hope for a larger
attendance in 1912.
Our people are beginning to think
OF the good times in store for them
when the association comes to them
An association stands for great
deal in the work of the Lord. Let
US hope for great meeting, % feast
of reason and a flow of soul.
Our church is united and full of
fellowship. We had most delight
ful protracted meeting last summer.
Our Brother Canada, a missionary

people as he presented the gospel
message in fresh and forceful way.
