F
Senator From Pennsly
vania With His Family
Hurled From Machine
GKNEVA, Switzerland, Sept. 8.
ilurlod from an automobile when the
nine hi no collided with another, Senator
IMiihtnder ('. Knox of Pittsburg and his
wifo were slightly injured and his son,
Philander C. Knox, Jr., was seriously
hurt hero lato Sunday.
The Knox party was traveling at a
high rate of speed, when the chauf
feur lost control of tho machine. Be
fore the car could bo brought back into
its course again it crushed into another
automobile.
The force of the impact threw the
Knox maohino into the ditch and hurled
tho occupants through the air. The
party was picked up apparently moro
dead than alive and rushed to a hotel in
another machine. Medical examination
revealed the fact that Senator and Mrs.
Knox were not seriously injured.
Philander C. Knox, Jr., fared bad
ly, however, and was unconscious for
several minutes after the accident. He
is badly bruised, and iti s thought that
he b uttered internal injuries.
The machine in which the Knox par
ty was riiling is a wreck, making it
impossible, to determine whether a me
chunicnl defect or the chauffeur's care
lessness is responsible for tho accident.
CAN GROW EUCALYPTUS
IN ROGUE RIVER VALLEY
That eucalyptus trees can be grown
in the Rogue Kiver valley has been
demonstrated by Dr. ('. K. Ray, who
some years ago planted some at Gold
l.ity, which have thriven remarkably.
It is a tree that requires no attention,
grows on barren hills or in swamps and
is valuable for fuel, railroad ties, tele
graph posts and furniture.
Furniture made in Sacramento from
eucalyptus wood grown in California
shows remarkable strength, beauty and
hardness, says the Sacramento Hee. The
wood is said to be harder than second
growth hickory, and is exceedingly dur
able. Of late years the eucalyptus has at
tracted much attention as a source of
valuable wood for railroad ties and
other purpo es, and extensive planta
tions have been set out by railroad
companies and oindi vidua. It. Tho trees
grow remarkably well in California,
reaching gigantic proportions in 120
years, and becomes available for cutting
ia much less time. It is not affected
by disease or insects, and its wood has
aa uncommon power of resisting decav
from fungus and other causes.
There is much waste or unimproved
laud in our interior valleys, more or
less subject to overflow,- which could
be profitably planted with eucalyptus,
pending reclamation. The tree seems
to endure floods, with no perceptible
injury, and needs much moisture to
attain its best growth.
No More Whiskers.
Six of the seven men in thin year's
crop of presidential candidates have
smooth-shaven countenances the sev
enth that 's Mr. Taft has a mustache.
The era of bearded politicians, which
began with Abraham Lincoln ia lSlil,
and continued, with only one interrup
tion, until the end of Benjamin Har
rison's administration in 1 S:t. is past.
What is true of presidents and would
be presidents is equally true of con
gressmen. Of liW photographs of mem
bers of congress published in a eon
temporary last Peeember, only ten had
beards, la public life whiskers have
gone out, rather than come out. Now
adays, hair is not a facial asset.
Threo of tho seven candidates of
this vear do not havo any even on
their heads. We have gone back to
the Tinman like physiognomy of Wash
ington and the early fathers. New
York Tribune.

GOODWIN DENYS HE
INFLUENCED EDNA GOODRICH
SAN FRANCISCO, Cal., Sept. 8:
In spile of persistent rumors to the
contrary, Nat C. Goodwin today denied
that he was instrumental or in uny
way connected with breaking off the
engagement of Harry McMillan, a flold
field mining man, and Edna Goodrich,
for three years Goodwin'B leading lady.
He also denied that divorce proceedings
have been instituted against him by
his wife. Mnxine Elliott.
'Miss Goodrich's contrnct with me
expired some mouths ago," said Good
win. "If sho chose to engage herself
to McMillan that was her own affair.
I think myself that the story of my
wifo and Miss Goodrich being entan
gled in mv domestic affairs was sug
gested by McMillan himself for petty
notoriety and personal aggrandizement.
"I do not know where Miss Goodrich
is now, and she is not to become my
leading lady this season. I did not
follow her to Europe, as has been re
ported, but went to Paris on a mining
deal, having rushed away to get ahead
of another man."
As to whether or not ho had soon
Miss Goodrich whilo in Europe, Good
win's only reply wns "I do not know
whero she is.
