IS KILLED BY AUTO
 NEAR HIS OWN HOME
Broad Street Boy Escapes Death
 Once but Dies Next Minute.

Through the alertness of Daniel Mcguire in stopping his autom obile, n1ne-years old Wadislaw Szyszka wslI barely escaped death at 5:45 o'clock last night, only to imm ediatcly rush in front of the machine again, this time to be run down and receive in juries from which he died few min utcs later.
 Was Playing in Street.
 The little boy, together with two younger companions, were wrestling
 in the gutter in front of No. II Broad street and when the older boy tired of the sport he broke away from his friends and darted towards his home across the street. As he did so Mir. Mcguire, who was driving down the street in his autom obile, stopped just in time to avoid running him down. At the very minute the autoist again started up, however. the boy changed his mind and turned directly in front of the m owing machine. The front of the car knocked him down and the forward wheel passed over his body, but the driver stopped the car be- fore. the rear wheel touched the prostrate form. MT. Mcguire carried the unconscious boy into a nearby store while his wife telephoned for a doctor. Another witness also sum- moned a physician and both Doctors Fox and Kelly rushed to the scene but it was too late. The boy was dead having been killed a few feet in front of his parents home. Medical Examiner Dr. T. G. Wright conducted a careful examination and absolved MT. Mcguire from all blame. The latter lives at No. 131 Black Rock avenue.
 The dead boy was the son Of MT. and Mrs. Louis Szyszkawski of 53 Broad street.

Attack on Surface at Night By Craft Which Is Protected By Its Com

London, Jan. II, f.25 q. m.--The Times naval correspondent comments on new danger from subma rincs. He says the battlcship Formidable was manifestly torpedoed by a sub marine acting on, and not below, the surface.

 We have entire hope" he said, that the Filipinos will accept this added responsibility and make such good use of the opportunity as to demonstrate it's wisdom and prepare the way for the next onward move.'
 President Has Power.
 He directed attention to the fact that to the president of the United States was reserved the power to for bid the enactment of any bill even though it be passed by the legislature over the veto of the governor general, and that trade relations between the United States and the islands still would be subject to the final decision of congress.
 Tt is difficult to see what proper objection can be made to the pro- visions of the bill itself." said the secretary in conclusion. If we con- sidered it. as l have insisted before that we should, in view of our duty to ourselves and to the nation and in view of our obligations to the Fili- plnO people, as made on our behalf by those speaking for us, we find that it fully m ensures up to our oo- ligation in each respect. Good faith to those to whom we have pledged ourselves requires us to stay as long as we must; and good will to the islanders, in accordance with our pledges and assurances requires us to stay no longer than is necessary to test and reach conclusions as to their capacity in managing their own

HOLD CONFERENCE ON
 ALASKAN RAILROADS
President Wilson and Engineering Commission Discuss Problems In- vOived in Construction of Lines.

Washington, Jan. 11.-Problems involved in the construction of the government railroad to the Alaskan coal fields were up for consideration al a conference today at the White House between President Wilson and the Alaskan engineering com issiOn, the members of which have been in- vestigating the merits of various pro- posed routes for the railroad. The commission virtually has finished it's preliminary report on the surveys of possible routes.
 The proposed railroad was author ized by act of congress last year. The law provided for the construction of an expenditure of not more than $35,- 100000 or not more than 1000 miles of railroad to connect Alaska's coal fields with the coast, the route to be selected by the president, to whom also were left many other important details. President Wilson is expect cd to settle all questions which must be decided before the actual work of construction is begun.
 J. P. Morgan has proposed to sell or lease the Copper river and North western railroad, a line 196 miles long, connecting Cordova with Ken niceat, for use as a part of the new railroad.
