Scores Treatment Of Mexico.
Mr.. Taft followed Col. Roosevelt
II concur" Mr.. Taft said. ''in the
view Of Mr.. Roosevelt. that this cleo
tion is the most important that We
have had in this country since tho war.
Our adversaries rely on an appeal to
the people that we have not been put
into war-when 1t was not necessary
for us to go to war at any rate-and
that we have now great temporary
prosperity.
Have we been kept out of war;. Is
the treatment that we have given
Mexico one that assures us peace! :!
Had we allowed Mexico to work out
her own salvation. as we have been
told in the Indianapolis speech we
ought to do, then we should not be
responsible. as we now are for the con-
ditions that prevail in Mexico; and
therefore when this war is over the
policy we have pursued in Mexico is
to answer for our intermeddlfng, our
desire to punish one person. and to
say to the Mexicans whom they may
have to rule over them and whom

I'VE are here to welcome the next

may say. incidentally. also we are
holding one of those exceptional meet

not large membership and the mem

And there is one subject upon which
we are unanimous to point that
cannot exaggerate. and that Is that we
are going to elect in November an
other member of that club"

"Nation Can View Future With Con-

Board, Regarding Service.

The special War Department board
which investigated military aeronautics
has reported that its inquiry not only
failed entirely to substantiate allega-

officers, but clearly established that the

A War Department statement on the
report replied to criticisms against the

spired editorials appearing in the met

America" and declared that:

miliation.''

CLEVELAND, Ohio, october 4.-Two
street cars plunged thirty feet from
the West Sd street viaduct to the
last night. Two were killed. or sixty
others injured it was expected one or
two would die. -.5e
Two Investigations into the disaster
were under way today. City officials
would learn whether the bridge had
been unsafe and who was responsible
for it's use in such case. The Cleveland
Railway Company would determine
whether the city rather than the trac-
ton company could be saddled with the
damage suits which will grow out OF
the accident.
Conductor and Woman Dead.
The bodies of the dead, Conductor
Otto Borchert and Mrs. Clara DilIs, a
passenger, were at morgues today.
They were to be removed to their
homes beforeNnight.
All traffic is at standstill over the
wrecked bridge. Street cars were re-
routed, while the Baltimore and Ohio
railroad was working to clear up its
tracks and permit resumption of train
operations.
Conflicting testimony was available
today as to the cause of the accident.
Some claimed that runaway south
bound car, rushing upon the bridge,
was derailed and collided with a north
bound car, the force Of the crash
causing the bridge to collapse.
Others said the southbound runaway
car hit delivery wagon and was de-
rallied. but that the northbound car
was at a standstill, having been stop
ped when the runaway car was seen
approaching. The bridge fell, they
contended, when the southbound car
hit the wagon, and the two cars did
not actually come together until the
bridge fell and threw them against

Walker D. Hines, Speaking Before

CINCINNATI. Ohio, October A.
Legislation which will provide an
orderly and responsible method of set
Ting railroad labor disputes as a sub
stitute : for the Terrorism of the
strike" was urged as the prime need
Of the public and railroad corporations
in an address delivered before the fifth
annual convention of the Investment
Bankers Association of America here
today by Walker D.. Hines, chairman
of'the advisory committee and general
counsel of the Atchison, Topeka and
Santa Fe Railway Company.
OF equal Importance. Mr.. Hines de-
clared. was legislation whereby state
regulations reducing net income
through reductions. of rates and in
crease of costs will be superseded by
national regulation and legislation
whereby the power TO issue stocks and
bonds shall be derived and the method
OF their issue supervised by the nation.
All these things were needed to in
sure the stability Of railroad reorgani-
zation plans.
Must Keep Abreast of Demands.
'The public is interested in the rail-
road companies being able to raise
sufficient additional capital to keep the
railroad properties abreast of the pro-
gressive demands of our rapidly de-
veloping business and civilization" 4"
said Mr.. Hines.
THAT capital cannot be secured un-
less investors can be induced to furnish
u, and investors cannot be induced to
furnish it unless attractive securities
can be offered, and these securities
cannot be attracted unless there is a
reasonable prospect that the railroad
net income shall not be indiscriminately
impaired through fragmentary local
legislation and through irresponsible
exa actions of organized labor"
The speaker declared the time was
ripe for dealing with these problems, in
view of the forthcoming inquiry into
the national railroad situation on the
part of Congress.
The convention will come to a close
here tonight with a banquet, at which
the principal speaker will be Senator
Robert L. Owen of Oklahoma Sena-
tor Owen is co-author of the federal
reserve bank act and his address will
be on the topic. '"The Federal Reserve
Act and It's Relations to Investment
Banking" Another speaker will be

note: Telegraph means to write from
a distance: telegram, the writing itself
executed from a distance; monogram.

occasion the painter, George Morland.

of his neighbors to believe him a for

were aroused by their movements in

bailiffs. escaped from the back to Lon
don. Mrs Morland Informed the Wis

cd them some unfinished pictures. The
facts were reported to the directors.
who presented Morland with two TWEEN

ton for the alarm.

Eeho of Sound.

An echo is a sound reflected from a
distant surface. Sound is produced by
waves or pulses Of the air and when
those waves come in contact with a
Cliff or wall or other opposing surface
they are reflected like light or heat,
and the returning waves cause repe-
tition of the sound. The word echo Is
Of Greek origin. According to ancient
mythology, 1t was the name of noun
tain nymph, daughter of the air and
the earth. Echo was one of Juno's at
PENDANTS, but her loGuacity displeasea
Jupiter. so she was deprived Of the
power of speech by Juno and permitted
to answer only when she was spoker
to. Aftervard Echo fell in love with
beautiful youth named Narcissus and
was changed into stone. which still
retained the power of voice. Milton
personifies her thus:
Sweet Echo. sweetest nymph, that liv's,
unseen
Within thy airy shell.
By slow Meander's margent green
Canst thou not tell me Of gentle pair
That lkest thy Narcissus are?

while living in Paris BalZac locked
himself up in his room for twenty-five
days and twenty-five nights. refusing

tajns closed and the lights continuity

only human being he saw during this
time WAS his servant. whom lie rang
for when he felt the need OF food.
which he washed down with numerous
cups of coffee. He would throw him
self on his bed only when entirely ex-
hausted from lack OF sleep. and he re-
manned in complete ignorance Of what
was transporting outside. the state Of
the weather and even Of the time and
day Of the week. He only freed him
self from this voluntary captivity
when lie had written the word End
on the last page of the manuscript he
began when he entered his prison.
