MUCH COASTING ON
FORBIDDEN STREETS
Children on Double Runner Barely
Missed Being Run Down by Elec-
trio Car on Central Street.

In several sections of the village
where coasting has been expressly for
hidden it is being INDUCED in daily
and nightly by lot of children and
grownups without interference from
officials.
Passengers on car yesterday after
noon were frightened nearly as badly
as were children on a traverse that
came down Highland street and shot
across Central street barely clearing
a car that was in motion at the time.
Numbers are using Maple street to
coast on, and this is permitted. but
they shoot across Canal street to Pine
street, crossing the car tracks at the
corner Of Pine and Canal streets. This
is a dangerous corner in that the car
coming towards Canal street on Pine
street cannot be seen because of the
waiting room at the corner, and if it
could be seen, it would be impossible
to stop the traverse in time TO avoid
a collision. Canal street, which ia
posted is also being used for coasting.

Z About five years ago Rufus R. Will
son, who is to speak before the Com.
mercial club here on Monday evening,
Dec. 13, was engaged in publicity and
advertising work in Seattle. He took
prominent part in one of the import
ant incidents of the year 1910, the
year of famine in China, caused by
the failure of crops.
When William Pigott, the largest
steel manufacturer on the Pacific
coast returned from China, he con.
.eeived the idea of sending a relief
expedition of some character to the
Orient, not only as an expression OF
his good will towards his many
friends in China, but as an evidence
of human interest in the sufferings
of the Chinese on the part OF tle
United States. IMr. Pgot brought this
matter to the attention of the Seattle
chamber of commerce, but this body
did not see its way clear to take any
action, w;lereupon he conferred with
j. w. Maxwell, president of the Ma
tional City bank and of the CONNER
cial club of eSattle, and luncheon
appointment was made for Mr.. Wilson
to join to join the other two gentle
men in furtherance of Ume plan
which might be adopted Immediately.

not mean, though, that L am through
with football or athletics in general.
81 intend in the future toaf0llow the
game just as closely as ever, to sug
gest whenever l can anything that
strikes me as beneficial to the sport
and to write a great amount; of mat

Football is the breath of life for
me, and I am sure thar wnen 4 .laye
ceased thinking, talking, studying ana
dreaming the game, will have passed
out of this world. But the many
duties have had in my thirty. years
connection with Yale athletics have
taken SO much time and bound me so
closely to one spot that have. not
only been forced to sacrifice business,
but I have also been forced to forego
the chances to broaden ou,1as i should
like. Therefore am severing my Of

Wilson Is a Booster for
Foreign Trade Extension

| As a result of this conference, on lMr.
Wilson's suggestion, large commit
tee was appointed by the Commercial.
club for Chinese relief and Mr. Pigott
was elected as chairman, with mr..
| Wilson as secretary.
| MIR. Wilson then proposed that the
| Washington congressman should take
up the question in Washington and
ask that government transports be
detailed to carry supplies to the ORR
ent. This part OF the program was
carried through successfully and the
transport .Buford was assigned for
the purpose. When tlis became puo'
licly known, the Red Cross society
awoke to the fact that it should JOIN
the movement and offeEed it's CO.
operation in loading the ship. Presl',
dent Taft tnereupon made the matter
subject Of special appeal to com.
mercial and civic bodies all over the
United States. Within two weeks the
big ship was loaded to capacity with
foodstuffs of every kind. The impetus
given By this movement was felt long
after the ship Aad sailed and con-
tributions of thousands of dollars
came in wee kafter week. This money
was transferred by cable to- the
American consul at Shanghai, where
it was used to relieve conditions in the
famine districts. "
One of the human interest phases OF
loading the ship was this MINOR Incl
A ~ nfforp0
SO 900 as contribution, stipulating
that the money be spent in America
for supplies to be loaded on the ship.
This offer came at 10 o'clock 'Satur-
day morning preceding the Sunday on
which the Buford was to sail. Tlat
meant quick owrk for the committee,
and particularly IMr. Wilson. He
proved equal to the occasion. Al.
though all the -four mills on the Pacific
coast were working overtime to pre-
pare their allotment for the ship and
although there was no opportunity to
purchase any other kind of foodstun
manufactured on the coast, as prac'
tically everything had been requisi.
toned, Mr.. Wilson conceived the idea
of shipping rice back to China. AS
the freight was free, it can be readily
seen that tlis could be done at rea-
sonable cost. All the rice in Seattle
was hunted down, purchased and
loaded on the Buford in time for sail
ing. This relief expedition put Seat.
tie on the map in big way.
President Taft's statement in con-
nection with it that Seattle was tle
shortest way to the Orient gave that
city a sanding that it had never held
before. ..... ...
Mr.. Wilson was rewarded by an
urgent invitation to become secretary
of the Commercial club, step which
finally led to his becoming identified
from that time on with community
building and land development and
colonization.
