ELIAU ROOT SAYS
1T HAS BEEN EASY
TO KEEP OUT OF WAR
By ASSOCIATED PRESS.

New York, Oct. 5.-Elihu Root, at
a mass meeting of the Republican
Club here tonight, declared the ques-
ton for the people to decide in the
present campaign is "are they willing
to have critical affairs during the
next four years conducted in the same
way that the Mexican business has
been conducted"
He said it has been easy for the
United States TO stay out of the Eu-
ropean war, because every country
had its hands full. The danger, he
asserted, would come after the war,
when the nations are looking around
for a way to repair their losses. He
said then we must maintain our rights
or abandon them.
He criticized the democrats fol
their attitude in the Lusitania affair
and what he called their delay in pre-
paredness legislation.

To
LEAVE FOR CUBA

Towed by the steamer Sea King,
the former pilot beat, Shepherdess,
loaded with lumber, will leave port
some time this morning, bound for
Havana, Cuba. Capt. Sawyer will be
in charge, and yesterday a crew was
shipped to take the trim little vessel
to the Cuban capital.
With the departure this morning,
the Shepherdess goes to a new home
port, and it is expected that within
a few weeks the former Pensacola
pilot boat will completely lose not
only her name, but her home port,
nationally, rig and about everything
which had made the schooner such a
pleasing picture on the water. She
has been loaded with $4,000 feet of
lumber, but upon reaching Havana,
will be converted into fishing smack
and will operate out of Havana.
the Shepherdess has changed hands
three or four times within a compare
lively short period. The pilots asso-
citation purchased the schooner some
months ago from Philadelphia, where
a committee from the local associa.
ton went for the purpose of selecting
one of several boats offered. During
tie July storm the Shepherdess was
sunk when, pounding on the bulk

EUBANKs CASE WAS
SETTLED WITHOUT
TRIAL; DISMISSED

One of the cases which had been
docketed for trial at Thursdays ses-
sion of the court of record was the
damage claim of Mrs. George Eu-
banks, who had brought suit in the
sum Of $4,000 against the Louisville
& Nashville Railroad Company, for
the accidental death of her husband,
George Eubanks, who was killed sew
eral months ago near the intersection
of Eighth avenue and Wright street.
The case was Settled and dismiss
ed" the announcement was stated,
but the amount of settlement was not
made public.
Mr.. Eubanks, while engaged in
coupling cars, was caught between
sleepers and crushed to death. 1t was
claimed that the wrong signal had
been given the engineman.
Several cases are on the docket for
trial today, but it is expected they
will be settled without the use of a
jury. Saturday, however, case in
which a local physician is defend
ant, is on the docket, and it is ex-
pected that this will prove one of the
most interesting of the large damage
claims on the docket for the present
term of court.

Boy Seriously Hurt
When Auto Hit Hin,

CONTINUED From Page One)
by a number of the little eye-wit-
nesses, the auto was travelling at an
alarmingly high rate when first
noticed, skipping along Barrancas
avenue. Little Otto Fell, who was
on Barrancas avenue, returning TO
the bayshore car line to go to his
home at Warrington, appeared to have
failed to comprehend just how rapidly
the car was speeding, and did not get
to the curb in time to avoid being
hit. The car was brought to stop,
however, as soon as possible, it was
stated, and the little sufferer was
conveyed to the hospital. Last night
he was bleeding from mouth and ears
and an operation was decided upon,
his head having been so badly injured
that it was necessary, it was said, to
trepan the skull.
The little sufferer was pupil at
the Joseph B. Jockey school, which
is No. 80, and situated on North c
street between Chase and Gregory
streets. With him a large number OF
children come daily from Warrington
and in the afternoon, making use OF
] Barrancas avenue, again go to the
bayshore line. He was struck so hard
/ that he was unable to tell his name
and it was only after considerably IN
| quiry by mounted officer that his
identity was established.
In the investigation, the police
were told by several parties thai
autos speed az great rate ON Barran
cas- avenue. Now that school children
make use of the avenue, especially
/ those who live in the southwestern
part of the city, a change in tactics o.
speed demons is urged, and it il
/ probable that a number of arrests
will be effected if plans to police thu
avenue are carried out.
Little Otto Fell is the son of Mr.
and Mrs. J. ]. Fell, residing at War
rington, and is a bright-faced boy,
favorite with all his friends and play
mates, and the accident causes grie
to large number of children.

the sufferers as much and as quickly

the current and choppy sea. In the

splashing over her, and the child with
its arms about her neck, lay the wonn-

case, and he took them in tow. The
boat was nearly half full of water, he
said.
The steamer Strathearn had about
this tina come to an anchorage, and
the Tourist towed the water-logged
launch up to the big ships side. Capt.
Hendricks then called to the chief
officer of the steamer to take the suf-
fers aboard, and several sailors were
ordered to lend hand. Mrs. Locker
and the baby were carefully carried
up the ladder, while Mr.. Locker slow

over to the city on the steamer.
The little family's launch, then
about filled with water, was tied to
rope which one of the steamers
crew heaved from the stern at the
call of Capt. Hendricks and when the
Strathearn started over to the city

propeller's action, caused the. boat te
