DIED At POST
Engineer on Steamboat Stood
by Duty Until Death

While passengers on the steamer
Peters Lee were dancing women
attired in light, airy dresses,
white hose and shoes a sunken
coal barge was struck as the boat
backed away from the Lake Proyi-
dence landing Friday evening at
7:30 o'clock, tearing a large hole
in one side Of the hull and sinking
her in deep water.
Frank O'Neil, engineer. stuck
to his post, refusing to leave until
the last man stepped ashore.
When the big steamer settled on
the bottom Of the river she took
down modern Jim Bludso, Frank
O'Neil, engineer, like the hero Of
the Prairie Bell stuck to his post
until death.
When it became known that the
boat was sinking Capt. William
StapIeton in command ordered all
hands out. Life boats we're placed
in readiness, but the steamer was
so close to shore her pilot ran her
nose into the bank and O'Neil by
working the engines, held her
there until all women we're taken
safely off and after them the men.
AS the last passenger stepped
from the gang plank, the boat
slid from its mud fastenings back
into deeper water. The pilot
called to O'Neil through d speak
ing tube. A reply went back: Il
am still at my post, standing in
water knee leep."

WAR LOBBY
Working On Congress fOr No Good
Says President

President Wilson let be known
today that he was inclined to
believe there was an organized
desire proceeding from sources
unknown to him to bring on 4
war between the United States
and Mexico. The president does
not regard the movement as OK.
tensive, but as very troublesome
and referred to misrepresentation
IN certain newspapers.
He indicated that Me shared
somewhat the views Of Senator
Williams, who declared ID speech
last Saturday that an organized
lobby existed to involve the
United States in war.
There is no occasion for alarm,
in the opinion of the president.
who told callers Monday that with
in the last As hours the Mexican
situation had improved materially.
L was made clear By the president
to those with whom lie discussed
the situation that the instructions
TO John Lind, his personal rep
resentatiye, were chiefly to inform
the American government how
things stood generally in Mexico
and just what were the oppor-
tunities for the good offices Of the
United States in the interests of
peace.
Sooner or later Mr.. Lind will
make certain suggestions to the
Huerta government through the
American embassy, but in just
what circumstances has not yet
been fully determined upon.
Anything in the suggestions that
properly may be made public will
be revealed, according to admins
tration officials at Washington
and foreign Governments will he
constantly appraised Of the various
steps taken By the United States.
This may not take place, however,
for several days.
President Wilson has had no
direct communication either with
the Huerta government or the
constitutionaIist authorities, and
he indicated to his callers Monday
that he would welcome more in
formation about the purpose of
the constitutionalists.

NATIONAL HIGHWAY
Atlantic to Pacific Route to Pass
Through Tennessee

Indications are quite favorable
that Tennessee will some day be
traversed by the great Atlantic-to-
the-Paci6c Highway which is
being proposed by the Southern
National Highway Association.
The purpose Of the association is
to construct the proposed road BY
government aid.
Attempts have been made BY
advocates for two other different
routes to secure the passage of
the highway, but last week the
decision OF the New York Board
was made in favor OF the Tenn
essee route which proposes to
enter from Washington, touch
ing both Bristol and Knoxville,
then Nashville and Memphis. The
prominence that has been given
the Memphis-to- Bristol Highway,
1t is thought, has had considerable
influence in enabling Tennessee TO
get this link in the great highway,
and it is presumed that the
National route will follow the
Translate road. This would give
Huntingdon the benefits of the
road.
According to a telegram re-
ceived from Dell M. Potter, Of
New York, president of the
association, a surveying party
will soon start over the proposed
route, studying and publishing
description Of the country. His
telegram IOllOWS.

Good Roads Committee of Board
of Trade, Nashville, Tenn:
I'VE have completed arrange
ments with American Automobile
Association, and they will log the
first trans-continental and all
Southern touring route over the
route designated by the Southern
National Highway Association,
which passes through your city.
Our association will within a short
time start writeup and logging
trip. Accompanying this trip
will be one of the best descriptive
writer's in the United States, an
engineer of national reputation,
photographer, reporter and officer
of our association. We will write
up the resources, climate condi-
tons, scenic attractions and pub
lish same in magazine form that
the world may know of this
wonderful route and the great
possibilities of the South. This
will do more to attract the atten-
ton Of those we need to develop
and bring prosperity to the South
than anything ever conceived and
the completion Of our national
highway by the Government will
be assured.
