GREATER NAVAL
And Land FORGE
IS GARY'S Plea
There is Now no Adequate Pro-
lection for Hawaii, Says
Great Steel Baron

Here are a few of tie striking state
ments of Judge Elbert H. Gary, chair
man of the executive committee of
the United States Steel Corporation,
as quoted in the Call and Post OF
San Francisco the day after Judge
Gary reached the mainland from his
recent visit to the Hawaiian islands:
THE United States must have lprger
navy. We must have a larger navy
than that Of any other nation in the
world"
."We should begin building ships q
"a foreign force could easily take the,
hawaiian isiands at the present
time. There Is no adequate prctec-
ton there"
aThe thing most essential, next to the
fortifications themselves, is great
er land force and better naval pro-
tection."
"The Hawaiian islands would be the
buffer for the whole west coast OF
the United States in the event of
an attack on this country from the
Pacific SIDE"
Stronger fortifications for the Ha-
waiian islands and better army and
navy defenses for all the United States
were urged today by Judge Ebert H.
Gary, chairman of the executive COM
mittee of the United States Steel Cor
poration, who arrived in San Francisco
aboard the .afatson liner Matsonia from
Honolulu.

SERIOUS ACCIDENT.
Team struck by Train at Main Street
Crossing--Two Men Injured.

Team struck by Train at Main street
Crossing-Two Men Injured.
Two men had a narrow escape from
death at the Main street crossing Of the
Maine Central railroad in Ellsworth
yesterday noon. The wagon in which
they were riding was smashed to kindling
wood by locomotive, but the men were
tossed clear OF the track.
Z. Frank Sargent, formerly of Lamoine
but now living in Ellsworth, and Horace
Brown, of Ellsworth, were driving down
Main street in an express wagon, towing
moving machine. The gates at the
railroad crossing were not down, and the
team was upon the track when the men
discovered the train almost upon them.
The train, north bound, had been hidden
from view by the station, and the noise OF
its approach was drowned by the noise OF
the wagon and moving machine.
The locomotive struck the rear wheel OF
the wagon, tossing the wrecked wagon
and the men to one side OF the track and
the wrecked moving machine to the
other. Mr.. Sargent received badly
sprained shoulder and knee, and general
bruises. Mr.. Brown struck on his head
and though he got upon his feet after the
accident, soon collapsed into unconscious
ness, suffering from concussion and
shock. He remained unconscious all
the afternoon, but to-day is reported as
much improved. The horses were not in
jured.
The train which struck the team was Q
special not scheduled to stop at Els
worth. 1t was composed OF two sleeping
cars returning from Machias with an ex-
cursion party Of technology students.
Many declare that the train did not
whistle at the usual place on the curve
below the station, but on this point there
il contradictory evidence, others, includ-
ing the train crew, declaring that it did
whistle at the regular place. The assist
ant agent on duty at the station at the
time, MIR. Wiggin being at dinner, did not
hear the whistle and did not lower the
gates.
The accident recalls narrow escape OF
DR.. A. c. Hagerthy and his chauffeur year
or two ago, when under similar circum-
stances, a train missed hitting their auto
mobile by few inches.

ing their registers in accordance with
the state law
Hoyne's sudden move was decided |
upon when Gertrude Mccarthy, a
young girl who left her home shortly
after Christmas, told the police that
Edward Pinkerton had forced her
onto the, streets. I
Hoyne placed the case in the hands
of Asst States Atty Robert Hogan
and thorough investigation Of the
girls story was made. Investigators
from Hoyne's office patrolled the
West Side district and secured evil
dence from other young girls which
are said to involve men prominent in
18th ward politics. These men will
be arrested shortly on the technical
charge of buying liquor for minors.
Pinkerton, who is said to be a
member of the Barney Grogan po-

O'Neil Monday in George DugdaIe's

300 COOLIES DIE IN JAPANESE
COAL MINE DISASTER

Toxic, April 14.-Crushed beneath
tone of earth and the water of the
Japan sea, at least 300 coolies have
been drowned in the Ube coal mine,
near the strait of Shimonoseh, &C
cording to dispatches received here
today.
The coolies were trapped by the
collapse of the roofs of subterranean
galleries in which they were working.
According to Japanese officials this is
the first accident of it's kind in the
history of the world.
There is but slight hope for the res
cue of any of the entrapped miners
or for the recovery of their bodies.
1t rests solely on the belief that the
coolies may have rushed into several
water-tight chambers constructed as
a precaution against just such an ac-
cident. Gangs of laborers are work.

CHARMS WILDCAT WITH

PIaNinn of the MAdaste EdeliSW

Man Owes His Life to His Perfect
Playing of the "Adeste Fdelis"
Spring Grove, Pa.-James Howard,
living in the Bad Hills, near here.
probably owes his life to his adapta-
bility to music sweet toned flute and
the inspiring "Adeste Fidelis" being
the means of saving his life in this
particular instance.
A few weeks ago while Howard was
walking through that part of the Bad
Hills which is yet inhabited by wild
cats he was suddenly confronted by
one hanging from a tree ready to
spring. Being equal to the emergency,
he opened his flute case and brought
forth the instrument and began play
ing the sacred hymn, whereupon the
wildcat appeared to calm down bit.
While Howard played and watched the
beast slowly began to descend from
the tree, and with a last long-drawn
whine disappeared in the forest.
This incident is not unlike the case
Of Will H. Harding, of this place, who
last summer charmed a large black
snake in somewhat the same manner,
only he did it with mouth organ.
