WRETCH TRIES.
TQ TAKE LIFE.
OF PRESIDENT.

PITTSBURGH, Pa, Oct. TO-
Secret service men guarding Presi-
dent Wilson today frustrated an
attempt Of a crank to take the
life OF the Nations Chief Exeeu-
tive.
While returning to his train
from an automobile ride through
the city, during a brief stop on his
way to Shadow Lawn from Chi.
eago. Richard Cullen, 22 years old,
a maehinist, three times attempted
TO board the Presidents automo.
bile.
The detectives, riding In an au-
'omobile Immediately behind the
Presidents car, rushed forward
and arrested the miscreant. He
was sullen and defiant. He ad.
mit;ed that his purpose was to
get" the President. On his per-
son were concealed an automatic
revolver, a large knife and a bottle
Of deadly fluid.
When questioned. Cullen replied
vaguely that he was dissatisfied
with the Presidents foreign policy
in connection with the European
war.
President Wilson was quite un-
moved by the incident and spoke
kindly to the man. He also re.
quested secret service men 20 "be
gentle" with him.
Until now the President has
travelled almost without any imme-
date personal bodyguard. He per.
sonally requested tho detectives
70 keep themselves In the back
ground, that he had no fear Of
bodily injury. After the Incident
today the secret service men were
ordered by their chief at Washing.
ton to keep close beside the Presi.
dent at all timeS regardless Of his
personal wishes or orders.

GIVING LABOR A s

GIVING LABOR A SHOW. The
acting secretary of labor, John C.
Densmore, has released George An
dreytchine, the steel corporation en-
ploye, who formerly worked in their
offices on the Mesaba iron range in
Minnesota, and who was arrested
and prosecuted at the instance of the
steel trust because he encouraged
the striking iron miners. The steel
trust tried to have Andreytchine de-
ported to Bulgaria, as an undesirable
alien, although he had for two years
been their Office employee. He was
charged with being an anarchist,
but his real offense was in siding
with the strikers. :
Under this administration the dept
of labor is demonstrating that it
really has the interests of labor at
heart,

MAILING A RUMOR.

MAILING A RUMOR. - We have
all heard the report, which has been
going the rounds for some time, that
the Panama canal is doomed; that
the real trouble with the canal lies
not in earth slides, but that the Gu
Zebra cut is one gigantic bog and that
the more dredging done the, more
there will be to do. The persistency
of the TumOr and the fact that Wash.
ington chose to ignore it has been
more or less disturbing.
Now Ray L. Smith, assistant to the
chief of the Panama canal Office in
Washington, has issued an official
and emphatic denial that there is the.
slightest foundation in fact for the
report.
There is no truth in the bog
story. he says. ct is merely a.
question of dredging the canal every
time there is a bad slide in the Gu
Zebra cut until the proper equilibrium
is reached, when the slides will cease.
The largest ships Of the American
navy could go through the canal to-
day"
Thanks, Mr.. Smith, for your really
cheering information.
