Twenty -six persons were injured. six of them seriously.

TAFT SURPRISED.
WiII Probably Not Consider Ma<tsf
 Before Tomorro~.

Beverly, Mass. Sept. 2.-~Ihc ar,- nouucement that Great Britain win appeal to The Hague tribunal to se'.- tie its claim of violation of the Hal'- Pauncesote treaty by the Panama cil- nal act, came as a surprise to Prcsi-. dent Taft. He had heard reports -ti7xr' such an appeal was contemplated. bft was of the opinion thai the matfsr would be taken up iA f1le usual d!p1,~ rnatic way
 The president was not ready t,- night 10 make an expression about t'Is .aIpeaI to The Hague. He had no of- .fcial word from the state departme1t and did not expect to consider r,e case until he reaches Washington j,n Wednesday. It was said that a deciz-I return Of Secretary of State Knox. p'I,o is now on hia way to Japan. xr Knox is due back in this country carN in October. The president is knovf1 to place great reliance upon Mf Er<ofe judgment and is hardly likely to mIl<a such decisive step without consl|It- ing him.
 1t was pointed out here tonight fhst Great BritainX notice of appeal 6ons not mean that the latter must xo to The Hague The United States hm as much right to refuse to submH to arbitration as Great Britain has io ask It.
 Friends of the president realirs thsf Great Britain's action places him iu q delicate position, As the foremost a1- vocnte of universal arbitration and dr. bitration of every subject he is called upon to submit to The Hague a csse that involves something in which ev- cry American feels himself vitaIIy ia- terested.
 II was pointed out however. that ths president wip have firm ground 3n His proposed arbitrnl court wan fo have been composed of citizene of fha two countries in dispute and m}e1t therefore be expected to give "yqusrs deaF to the parties at issue.
 The Hague court, however. would not contain number Of Americans equal to the number of other members from other countries. All Europe feels much as Great Britain does about ihn Panama act, and a tribunal compo1e1 largely of Europeans could hardly Do just to America
 The president was aware when hs approved the Panama act that further troublev with Great Britain would fol~ low. He signed the bill reluctantly but in the belief that even if arDitIn- tion became necessary. the work of setting tip the machinery to operutc and administer the canal would SO on. This part of the law was urgently needed and he told friends that if arbitration was resorted to and tho United States was defeated, congress would have plenty of time to remedy the situation that would then exist
 The president was confronted with another diplomatic problem today when the telegram from President Gomez of Cuba in connection with the attack upon Hugh s. Gibson. charge d,a1aii.es at Havana, by Enrique Maza. re- porter, reached Beverly tonight. Ofn- cials decline to make the telegram public, but announced that the prts- ident would not answer it untii he gets in Washington. He probably rtu talk over his reply with Acting Secrs- tary of State Huntington Wilson.
