Rumor About Japan.
NEW YORK. May 1. (Special.)
Reports were circulated some time ago

of a body of cavalry in the event of
an invasion of Mexico. Thl request
was said to hav'-lcrn. made by the
Colonel In the w. 1-'J?,;7.dent
Jo

of this report were issued when it
wa made public, but the real story of
the Incident, which I said to ba re
sponslbla for part of Roosevelt's re
sentment against President Taft. has
Just become known.
Colonel Roosevelt was much wrought
up over the Mexican situation and ap
parently believed the mobilisation of

meat possible trouble with Japan over
Mexico. Colonel Roosevelt wrote to
President Taft. asking that the Presi
dent make him a Major-General of
cavalry. He telegraphed h would or
ganize a troop similar to the old
Rough Riders, with Jim Sloan, his for
mer secretary: Cecil Lyon, of Texas,
and many of his old favorites In the
saddle. The Colonel said that he want
ed to lead his regiment into Mexico
in event that Invasion waa necessary
to meet Japan.
President Taft Is said to have re
plied to tha Colonel that there was not
the slightest danger of trouble with
Japan, and that anyway he could not
legally make the Colonel a - Major
General of cavalry.

the last of the pioneer nurses who first

island in the North Pacific.
Brother Dutton succeeded Father
Damien, who made a name for himself

RAIL CONTRACTORS BUSY
Heavy Construction Work Encoun
tered on Natron Cutoff.
EUGENE, Or, May 19. (Special.)
Ernest E. Hyland, down from Oakridge,
rail head of the Natron extension,
brings word of great activity on the
part of the Utah Construction Company,
With the opening of regular train serv
ice to Oakridge the first of the month,
the construction company removed its
headquarters buildings, repair shops
and supply sheds from Natron to Oak
ridge and now is at work on the six
mile contract that was let several
months ago.
Mr. Hyland says there are two stean
shovels at work on a fill several nun
dred feet long across a canyon that 1:
96 feet below the rail level. Mr. Hy
land's mlU furnished the lumber for
the concrete culvert through this fill,
and 00,000. feet of boards were required.
There is another fill longer, but not so
nigh, just beyond.
According to Mr. Hyland, there are 20
tunnels to be bored between Oakrldgi
and the summit of the Cascades at Pia
mond Peak, these tunnels ranging
from 300 to 3600 feet in length. The
road twists and turns, making 60 miles
of rails between Oakridge and the sum
mit, whereas the airline distance is not
over half that. However, there will be
no grade over 1 per cent anywhere
on the line.
Men on the ground do not believe
that the cut-off can be completed be
fore 1915.
OFFICER TREATS LOST TOT
Little Beatrice McHale Given Meal

"I'm hungry," were the first words

Detective Hawley, who gathered the

Sadly tousled and with her white

pedestrians had passed without notic

in some marvelous way had reached

Olympians Will Demonstrate Real
ity of Much-Discussed Sea "Bird."
OLTMPIA. Wash, May 1. (Special.)
Monday night the Olympia Lodge of
Elks will give a most unusual ban
quet, aa it has arranged for a "spread"
of geoducks. These "birds," which are
neither flesh nor fowl, are caught only
when the tide is extremely low,- and
so as to be sure to have a bountiful
supply on hand, teams have been
formed and the losing squad is forced
to pay a penalty.
The geoduck Is an animal about
which there Is endless dispute. Many
claim "there ain't no such thing," but
all local Elks, as well as visitors from
outside points, will have a chance to
taste him in all his glory Monday night.
Although many of the local Elks have
lived around Olympia for years, they
have never tasted geoduck, also known
as the "goeduck," the "goaway duck,"
the "goeyduek" or the "goyduck," so
there promises to be a record-breaking
turnout at the club banquet Monday
night.

sons SaTed Taken to Hos
pitals for Treatment.
SEATTLE, Wash, May 19. Two
persons are known to have been
drowned and 50 were Injured today
when the adjustable end of a tempor
ary passenger gangplank at the Col
man Dock dropped, precipitating 60
passengers into the water as they were
preparing to board the Puget Sound
steamer Flyer, for Tacoma.
The. dead:
Mrs. G. V. Learned, Seattle.
Carl Bruder, 1-year-old son of Mr.
and Mrs. C. Bruder, of Seattle.
The child was dead when taken out
of the water and Mrs. Learned died on
the pier.
Injuries Are Slight.
Among the 50 persons taken to the
hospitals were the following: Park
Carson, aged 15, Tacoma, Wash.; Mr.
and Mrs. James Dalton, Scranton, Pa.;
Franklin Frost, Olympia, Wash.; P. L.
Laramie, Cle Elum. Wash.; Mrs. Frank
Olin, Tacoma, Wash.; M. B. Samuel,
Walla Walla, Wash.
Many of those taken to the hospital
soon revived from the effects of their
salt water ducking and were permitted
to go to their homes.
Most of fhe Injured were only slight
ly bruised or cut by striking against
piling and the hull of the Flyer when
they fell into the water and all will re
cover. The Flyer had just discharged her
passengers from Tacoma and was pre
paring to load for the 11 o'clock re
turn trip. The pier was crowded with
passengers who were pressing persona
on the gangplank ln their eagerness
to get aboard.
Cogs Break) Plank Falls.
The gangway was a freight slip that
had been rigged up for passenger use
after the steamship Alameda demol
ished the main waiting room of the
Colman dock when aha crashed Into
the pier three weeks ago.
The plank was adjusted by a worm
block and it Is supposed this had be
come sprung so that the cogs did not
fit perfectly. A defective cog broke
under the weight of the crowding pas
sengers and the shock of the inch drop
was sufficient, to strip the cogs and
let the 'end of the plank fall into the
water, the screaming passengers roll
ing and sliding down the steep incline
into the water between the wharf and
the Flyer.
Tho water was dotted with frantic
people struggling to reach the boats
which were lowered from several near
by vessels.
Boat's Position Unchanged.
The Flyer could not be moved be
cause her wnirting propeller wouia
have chopped the struggling people to
pieces and It was difficult for the small
boats to get to those caught . between
the vessel and the pier, although all
were finally rescued.
It is believed everyone on the gang
plank when the accident happened has
been accounted for, but to make cer
tain that none went to the bottom and
was caught in the piling, divers were
ordered to explore the Blip thoroughly.
After working two hours the divers
reported that they found no bodies at
the bottom of the slip and the Coroner
is confident that all who fell fnto the
water have been accounted for.
Negro Saves Many.
Newton Johns, a negro bootblack,
leaped from the wharf when the acci
dent happened and saved several wo
men. Johns Is at home in tbe water,
having learned to swim when a child
on the Delaware River. He was in the
water half an hour helping women into .
the liftboats. When Mayor Cotterill,
who hurried to the scene, heard of his
conduct, he sought the youth and com
plimented him warmly, much to the
embarrassment of the bo.otblack, who
was busily polishing shoes.
G. V. Learned, president of a lum
ber company, was with his wife, who
was drowned and their i-year-pld boy.
All three went into the water, but the
father and son were fished out in time
to be resuscitated.
Experience Is Related.
Mr. and Mrs. C. Bruder, whose child
was drowned, were rescued, although
Mrs. Bruder suffered severely and is
unable to leave the hospital.
Miss Lillian E. Halverson, a recent
arrival from Chicago, told of saving
herself after sinking three times by
holding to the clothing of a foreigner,
who was clinging to a piling until
picked up by a lifeboat.
Mr. and Mrs. James Dalton. of Scran
