President Hears News of sherman's
Death at Banquet Table.

President Taft was much affected
'hen he received the news of Vice
President Shermans death. The presi.
dent was seated at the banquet table
in the Thirteenth regiment armory,
Brooklyn, as the chief guest of the
navy yard employees after the. launch.
ing of the new battleship New York.
The message was brought to him by a
secret service man.
"Oh, my God!' he exclaimed. Then
he told those nearest to him of the
death of Mr.. Sherman. Tears sprung
to his eyes. When the navy yard con-
Itructor finished his speech the presi-
dent arose and said:
"My friends, three years ago, at the
launching of the Florida, you all met
the vice president of the United
States. Word has just come to me
that he is dead. Those who knew
him, loved hin. His death is a great
loss to all | venture, therefore, to ask
you all that this meeting be adjourned
in honor OF his memory"

COAL MEN SUMMONED
High Price cf Coal to Be investigated
BY State.

Primary reasons for the annual
winter coal shortage with the conse-
quent increase in prices are to be in
vestigated by the Ohio public utilities
commission.
General superintendent and car
service men of eleven Ohio coal carry
ing roads have been summoned to ap-
pear before the commission on No
vember 10.
This winters car shortage has be-
gun and the price of coal is on the
raise. Coal men say that unless the
commission can effect some arrange
ment with the coal carrying railroads
this winter the shortage will become
a famine.
