Dronklng of Piston Rod on Engine

Dcnnlson, O., Jttne 23. Secretary
Tnft had a narrow escape tonight
from being involved in n serious
wreck on the Pennsylvania Flyer,
which was carrying him cast,
Prompt action of the towcrman in
n signal station n third of a mile cast
of Coshocton, and of the engineer
of the flyer, alone averted what might
have been a dreadful accident.
As the train was speeding along at
the rate of 50 miles an hour, the pis
ton rod on the left side of the loco
motive broke short off. Almost in
stantly the cylinder of the engine was
cracked by the unmanageable rod.
Secretary Taft and National Com
mittccman Kellogg entered the din
ing car and sat down to dinner after
the accident occurred without thought
of anything scripus in connection
with the 8tpppig ftn( ,jctay of
the train. Ihc Secretary made no
comment on the incident when in
formed of it. The engineer of the
locomotive explained that it was
merely good luck that averted a bail
accident,
"If the piston rod, after it broke,
had gone under the train," said he,
"we would have gone into the ditch,
as we were running 60 miles an hour,
and the derailment would have been
a serious matter. Fortunately the
broken rod landed six or eight inches
Outside of the left rail. That saved
us."

Strange Accident Wrocks Cazadero
Power House
Portland, June 23. An accident to
the machinery nt the Cazadero power
plant of the Portland Railway, Light
& Power Company early yesterday
morning caused the complete wreck
ing of the station, entailing a loss of
$110,000. Flying pieces of hot metal
and burning insulation set fire to the
building, destroying inflammable parts
of the structure. Two operators who
were on duty at the time had a mirac
ulous escape from instant death.
The three big water wheels "ran
away," one after the other, the gen
erators to which they were coupled
flying in pieces and wreckage from
each machine in turn disabled the
next water wheel. Huge parts of Hie
monster dynamos were hurled
through the brick walls to the station
and through the iron roof.
Although the two operators on duty
were right in the midst of the flying
wreckage, they escaped without a
scratch.

Would End Chinese Boycott bf Re
mitting Indemnity.
San Francisco, June 23. Sochita
Asano, president of the Toyo Kiscn
Kaisha Steamship Company, reputed
to be the second wealthiest man in
Inpan, ranking next to Uaron Shi
busawa, has arrived here en route to
New York on a financial mission.
Speaking of the boycott against
Japanese goods in China, Mr. Asano
said that Japanese trade had suffered
severely because of the boycott re
sulting from the Tatsu Maru affair,
but he did not expect it to continue
much' longer.
The Chinese were feeling its reflex
influence, and he thought that finan
cial considerations would soon out
weigh sentimental reasons.
A different version is brought by
Thomas F. Millard, the author, who
was a fellow-passenger of Mr. Asano
on the steamship Mongolia. Accoru
ing to Mr. Millard, the boycott is
hurting Japanese trade so severely
that the government, through the
merchants of the empire, called the
Chinese merchants in Japan together
in order to make a proposal to end
the boycott by remitting the indem
nity exacted in the Tatsu Maru inci
dent.

WANTS POSTAL SAVINGS BANKS
Oregon Man Puts S2B.000 In Postal
Money Ordors.
Washington, June 27. The largest
bunch of money orders ever presented
to the postoflTcc denartment for re
demption was received today from
Mr. Ucilly, of Pendleton, Or. Two
hundred and fifty orders for $100 each
were sent in by Rcilly, with the state
ment that he had purchased the or
ders ... May, 1007, fearing to place
Ins money in banks. The orders, be
ing more than a year old, cannot be
cashed, and the department is re
quested to replace them with a treas
ury warrant for $25,000. This will
be done.
The postmaster-general will cite
tins case as a splendid argument in
favor of the tcstablishmc.it of postal
savings banks. Such banks would
not only have paidthc interest on this
large deposit, but would have saved
Mr. Rcilly $75 in fees which he paid
for money orders,
TARGET ORDERS SEALED.
Atlantic Fleot to Practice Under Un
usual Conditions.
Washington, June 27. This year's
.target practice of the ships of the
Atlantic fleet at Magdalcna bay. be
ginning about November 1, will be
attended witlu unusual conditions.
Kach ship is to have scaled instruc
tions, to be opened after the estab
lishment of the ranges. This will
add to the severity of the firing, and
will impart an amount of anxiety
which will be appreciated as having
its advantages,
Before the regular target practice
begins each ship will steam past the
target and fire a limited number of
shots in order that the pointers may
get practice in shooting, but not until
then will the ship's crew know at
what angle the vessel will pass the
target or at what speed. As each
ship frequently has a certain amount
of ammunition left over which is not
fired on the regular run for various
reasons, the decision has been
readied that this ammunition will be
utilized to carry out special target
practice with two or three battleships
firing against a moving target towed
by another battleship.
Waiting for Passports.
Washington, June 27. Mr. Volosc,
the Venezuelan charge, has not yet
been advised by his government of
the withdrawal of Mr. Sleeper, the
American charge at Caracas. Conse
quently he will not apply for his pass
ports, unless he is ordered to do so,
and he docs not expect such an order.
Charge Sleeper has not yet reported
his departure to the state department,
his last cablegram from Caracas re
lating to the plague situation.
Acting Secretary Adec is to confer

Secretary Hacon, and will then prob

Houston, Tex., Juno 23. Nino ne
groes met death last night at tho hands
of a mob in tho ricinity of Hemphill, in
Sabine county. Today both races se
cured arms and tho tension is such to
night that a race clash appears Immi
nent. The lynchinga followed the killing
of two whito men by negroes. Two
weeks ago Hugh Dean and several
other white men visited a negro church
and schoolhouse, whero a danco was in
progress, presumably in quest of
liquor, it being the custom of some of
tho negroes to soil whisky during tho
progress of such affairs. During tho
evening Dean was killed and six ne
groes were held for tho killing.
At the preliminary examination evi
denco tending to show that tho plot
was planned at tho dance to kill Dean
was produced. Saturday last Aaron
Johnson, a prominent farmer, was as
sassinated while seated at the dining
tablo with his wife and child, the bul
let being fired through a window. Por
this crimo Perry Price, a negro, was
arrested, and, it is stated, confessed,
implicating Robert Wright, a relative
of one of the negroes held for Dean's
murder. Price declared he was offered
$5 to kill Johnson.
Then followed the forming of a mob
last night, tho overpowering of the
jailer at Hemphill, and the lynching of
the six negroes held for the murder of
Dean. Five were hanged to the same
tree, while another attempted to escape
and was shot to death.
Later in the night William McCoy,
another negro, was shot and killed
while standing at the gate of the John
son homo, and this morning the bodies
of two more negroes were found in tho
creek bottom. Wright, the negro who
confessed to the killing of Johnson, and.
the man implicated were taken to Beau
mont for safekeeping under guard of
the military company of St. Augustine.
Sabine county is situated in the most
remote part of the eastern section of
the stata, with sparse railroad and tele
