COL. ROOSEVELT ON FLOOD
PREVENTION.

Fearing another overflow, after
the Beulah Crevasse in February
1913, Hon. John M. Parker, owner
of the Roosevelt Plantation of
10000 acres, opposite Vicksburg,
wrote Col. THEODORE Roosevelt,
who had been entertained by him
on a bear hunt there, asking for
his views as to the best course to
pursue to secure protection from
the flood menace in the Lower
Mississippi Valley, and enclosed
some photographs showing the
damage done by the 1912 flood.
Mr.. Parker's estate was inun-

EXPERTS SEES NO
DANGER IN QUAKES
TO PANAMA CANAL

Washington, Oct. 26-Litt1e danger,
if any, to the Panama Canal, exists
from earthquakes, in the opinion of
Rev F. A. Tonderf, Of Georgetown
University, a recognized authority on
seismoIography. In a published state
n1ent, today, he takes exceptions to
the a1armist views of certain scientists.
He cannot see that the confirmation
Of the earth at Panama can lead to
the conclusions that earth commissions
are to be feared.
tI do not believe there is any pos
sible danger to the canal from earth
quakes,'' said Dr. Tonderf. ct base
this conclusion mainly on the past
history of the Isthmus of Panama,
which shows that it is free from earth
quakes. There have been. serious
disturbances in the Pacific to the
south of Panama and in certain of
the islands of that ocean but there is
nothing to Indicate that Panama it
self is subject to earthquakes
The recent tremors felt in the canal
zone, DR.. Tonderf believes, were mere
Iy reflections of violent distur dances
elsewhere in the Pacific Ocean.

FOR GENERATION
Former Governor General of
Archipelago Delivers Enter
tanning Address to COntem-
pOrary Club.

That it. wiIl3Jbe unfortunate should
the United States withdraw from ac-
tive supervision of affairs in the
Philippines at the present time after
accomplishing SO mulch proved one of
the notable expressions of Former
President William Howard Taft last
night in his address at the first meet
ing of the season for the Conten-
porary club. He believed that the
time is not yet ripe for allowing these
possessions to be SELF governed and
cited the opinion of his own admins
tration to the effect that the time
might not come for a generation. He
suggested that some tacit understand
ing might be reached with the Philip
pine independence and office seekers
to the effect that they would be able
to secure nothing during this genera
ton.
His address was on 'aTthe Present
Issue in the Philippines and was
largely of an informal nature, per-
sonal experiences and observations
adding much to the general interest
He proved to be an exceptionally in
teresting speaker, his trait of being
able to note humorous situations and
describe them in a born story-teIIer
manner being noted time and time
again.
One illustration was that, should
independence be granted, the United
States transports and troops would
not be out of sight of the island or
beyond Corregidor Island, before out
lawry and throat-cutting would begin
Approval of President wilson's atti-
tude towards giving the islands inde-
pendence seemed to be manifested
throughout Bearing on the question
he read a passage from President Will
sons book on constitutional Govern
ment," in which it is advanced that
independence is a sort of character
and can not be given to people, Con- |
hnuing Mr.. Taft said: concerning
that statement I am confident that
President Wilson adheress to the uIti- |
mate position and policy that has
been followed and will, in fact, be |
adopted
During his address one mention |
was made of the troubles in Mexico. |
It was very brief and compared the
work done in the Philippines during !
the past three years by the United
States and what could be done in
Mexico. He expressed the belief that
Mexico would prove a much harder
territory to handle than the American
possessions.

New Haven, Oct. 25-The mystery of

cleared by the admission of the won1-

The girls story gained from her IN
moments of coInmunfcativeness lend
to her attempt upon her life an air of
real pathos. Offered, it would seem
the alternative of life along the
easiest way and suicide, she chose
the latter out of her trouble.
Those who are interested in her
case are anxious to find a Mrs Wag-

FAILS TO SETTLE STRIKE
Aceo- Dfv1ne's Influence OF No Avail
With Rev. MFR. Grant.

New Haven, Oct 25-The Rev.
Alexander r. Irvine, who is playing
at the Btjou theatre, called upon the
Rev. James Grant, superintendent of
the W. T. Barnum company, yester-
day, and requested him to hold an
other conference with a committee
representing the twenty striking cleo
trotypers of the company. Supt- Grant
declined to hold conference with the
strikers He told Mr.. Irvine that the
shop was full and that the strikers
had better go somewhere else and
seek jobs.
He admitted, Mr.. Irvine says. that.
the company was now paying some of
the men who took the strikers places
more money than the strikers de-
manded but he said that was because
the new men, at the crisis of the
strike, had demanded more money
under threat of leaving. He said that
the best he could do for the strikers
would be to take two or three of them
back but he would not do so, accord
ing to Mr.. Irvine. unless they would
