Secretary of the Commonwealth.
A
Griscom Says Taft Did Not Send
Him to Oyster Bay.
New York Ccunty Chairman Refused
to Say Anything Politically Except
to State That Roosevelt and Taft
Have Agreed on New York Situ
ation Opinion Growing In Beverly
That the Ex President Is Not In
Sympathy With the Administration.
Oyster Day, Aug. 16. It would hnve
reouired neither the eyes nor the wis
dom of. a particularly shrewd politi
cian to have seen at a glance that
very vital politics were being discuss
ed at Sagamore Hill yesterday.' The
iews of the president of the United
stales and the ex-president were be
ing exchanged through the medium of
the country chap-man of New York.
Lloyd C. Griscom hurried hack from
Beverly, where he spent Saturday
night with Mr. Taft, to tell Colonel
Roosevelt the administration' sido of
the story. W hen It was all over, the
colonel announced that he had noth
ing to say.
Not Sent to Oyster i3ay.
Inquirers who talked with Mr.
Griscom after his conference with Mr.
Koosevelt were Just a bit surprised
when he said that not only had the
president not sent him to Oyster Ba; ,
hut that the president did not know
that he was coming here.
In spite of the country chairman's
declaration it is strongly suspected
here that be did come wit h the hope of
putting up the president's attitude to
the colonel and getting an indorse
ment of it. If that is the case, Mr.
Griscom probably did not fulfill his
mission. It la known here that Mr.
Griscom bore a message of somo sort
to Mr. Roocevelt.
The fact that Mr. Griscom an
nounced that he thinks Mr. Koosevelt
ami President Taft are agreed so far
as the New York sltuatou is concerned
does not alter the circumstances that
have existed for some time.
When be was asked how close the
two men hitch upon the national sit
uation, the county chairman hesitated
some time before answering, when ho
replied that he really had no right
to talk about that because his Job has
to do with Htate politics.
Mr. Koosevelt and his visitor Bpent
the morning on the wide veranda of
Pagamore Hill. They sat and chatted
Incessantly. They were not inter
rupted. When luncheon was over the
colonel and Mr. Griscom continued
their conference until It was nearly
dusk. The county chairman hurried
off to tho w)iaif In t'nld Spring har
bor and returned to Now York city In
his motor boat.
Before he went away from here Mr.
Griscom was asktd:
"Why did you como so soon after
your visit to Beverly?"
"I had to see Mr. Koosevelt," said
the county chairman. "There are a
lot of Important matters that 1 have
wanted lo take up with him. I have
seen very little of him since he re
lumed f loin abroad. I tallied over
state matters with him Just as I did
with the president. That is all I can
say.
No Candidate Decided Upon.
When a reported nked Mr. Gris
com whether anything definite so far
as ho knew bad been decided upon
for a Republican gubernatorial candi
date, he replied that nothing had.
Leaders throughout the state must be
consulted before a man is named.
The situation has l.ot cryslaliztd yet.
It Is too early."
It la extremely doubtful that the
colonel will soy a word about yester
day's conversation. It is tha general
oi'inlon here that If he were In sympa
thy with the administration he would
have said so long before this.

PIRATES IN TH EPACIFIC
Prey Upon Merchant Vessels
On Coast of Mexico.
Boarded a Sailing Vessel That Had
Run Aground on the Island of San
Geronlmo and Stole Everything
They Could Find At the Same
Place They Took 3,000 Sacks of
Guano War Vessel Sent After
Them.
A Mexico city dispatch says a piiabj
ship is preying upon the merchant
vessels in the waters of tho Pacific
along the upper coast of Mexico ac
cording to advices received by the
department of war and marine. A
war vessel has been dispatched to
overhaul the alleged piratical craft,
which is known as the Baltlco,
1'ablo Charles commander.
Two Americans, James Cart and
Henry Brown, who were captured in
n small boat by the Baltlco near La
I'az, were later pet on shore on the
Lower California and have Just been
landed ai Mazatalan by the steamer
Herrerias. In the complaint to the
government, It is allegeu that the
commander of the Baltlco obi air. Ai
permission of the authorities to take
fish along the coast, but instead of do
ing so he overhauled all the little
boats he saw on his cruise and took
all their cargoes. The goods thus
rtolen were sold at the small points
of San Geronlmo, San Qiientine and
o'liers, as wel las Magdalena Bay.
On the Island of - San Geronlmo,
the pirate boarded a sailing vessel
that had run aground and took every
thing they could find ashore. At the
same place they took three thousand
sacks of guano and other things.
The commander of the port com
municated with the department of
war and marine and asked that a
gunboat be sent to overhaul the Bal
tlco and arrest Captain Charles.
SIX CHINAMEN ARRESTED
Charged With Entering the United
States Illegally.
Six Chinamen, who were endeavor
ing to illegally enter the United States
from Canada, and who paid they were
bound for New York, were found, half
starved and suffering intense agony
from thirst in p. New York Central
freght car in I'tlca.
They had been without food or
water for six days and when discov
ered were huddled in bales of hav In
the closely packed car, three of them
being in a semi-conscious condition
Hiid the others so weak that they
could not stand.
The Chinamen were In a car filled
with pressed hay. It was hilled from
St. Timothee, Canada, to New York.
When a repair gang set to work fix
ing a broken coupling one of the work
men heard a weak voice from within
the car asking for a drink of water,
ottering to pay $50 to the repairmen
If lie would get Fomeetblng to eat and
drink for a party of six. The mar
notified his superiors and the railroad
detectives. The car was then broken
into and the nest of Chinamen discov
ered. The Chinamen were given whisky
and milk before they were taken to
police headquarters.
The police surgeon says they will
probably sunlve, though at '.east two
of them are in serious condition.
POACHERS BLOWUP DAM
Trees Uprooted and Four Bridges
Swept Away.
A largo dam that held in check an
extensive hotly of water on the estat-j
of Henry J. Cookingham of Utica, a
brother-in-law of Vice President Sher
man of the United States, at Hinckley
In the Adlrondacks, was destroyed by
poachers and gieat damage lo sur
rounding property was wrought.
It Is staled that the dam was blown
up by dynamite and that the crime
was perpetrated by persons who ha.l
a grudge against the owner of the
uropcrty.
Mr. Cuoklnham had recently taken
legal action against Kevernl alleged
poachers and had had trouble with
petly thieves.
The big body of water that broke
through the dam uprooted trees, wash
ed away four highway bridges nnd
swept away about one-fourth of a
inllo of tho highway.

SCHIFF TALKS ON ALASKA
Says the Country Has Great Natural
Resources.
Jacob H. SchlfT was back at. hl
office In Nrw York city after an
extended trip tc Alaska. The banker
declared lhat the best way to develop
the coal and timber resources of that
country would be under the direction
of a government commission. Capital
was easily frightened in Alaska, said
the banker, and Immlgratlnn was on
a small scale because people did no'
know what they would find whn thoy
got there.
'The three great natural products
of Alaska," Raid Mr. Schlff, "are met
sis, fish and coal. The fisheries aie
pear to be very prosperous. The de
velopment of metals needs the build
ing of railroads and wagon roads to
make the various deposits access!
Lie.
"Coal is awaiting the establishment
of a policy by the government for lt
development. At the present time
coal in Alaska is worth something
like $12 a ton and it is altogether Brit
ish Columbia coal. If the Alaskan
mines were opened up It probably
could be furnished for $1.73 or per
haps $.1 a ton. The demand for con
servalion is good enough In its way,
but it must not go so far as to seal
up the couritrv. That Is practically
what it is doing In Alaska.
"It appears to me," continued the
banker, "that Alaskan resources, es
pecially its coal and timber, could be
developed tinder the control of a
United Stales commission, something
like the interstate commerce commis
sion."
Mr. SchifT has a poor estimation of
Alaska as an agrlcultural'country. He
-aid tbe country was exceedingly arid
and the short summei season was
against it.
CHILD ATTACKED BY LEOPARD
Boy Receives Severe Injuries From
Ugly Animal.
A leopard reached through its cage
at Beaver Falls, Pa., and with its
huge paws lacerated the face and
nearly tore off the scalp of John
Kgensberger aged 5, who, with hie
father, George Kggensberger, was
standing in front or the bars. The
falher, the Animal's keeper and an
other man, struggled desperntely be
fore the child was released.
When the father turned away a
moment, the leopard, reaching Its
paws through the bars like a cat
feeling for a ball, caught the child
by the head, lifted him several feet
and tried to claw him through the
bars. The child screamed until he
became unconscious from his
wounds and fright. He Is in a criti
cal condition. It is said the leopard
once before made a similar attack on
a child.
CANNON TO BE SHELVED?
Rumored Also That Ballinger Will Re

m ph G. Cannon will lot again wie'd

MITCHELL AT CONVENTION
Came as Delegate From His Old L
cat at Spring Valley, III.
Indianapolis, Aug. 16. A decided
sensation was created in the conven
tion of the United Mine Worken
when John Mitchell, whose presenc
In the city was not suspected, entered
the hall and walked down the aisle.
The moment he was recognized th
delegates rose to their feet and greet
ed him with hearty applause. Presl
dent Lewis stared at the newcomer
while tho Illinois delegates crowded
against the former chieftain of tht
miners and seemed to look upon hit
coming as auguring success for theli
cause. Mitchell declined a seat on
the stage, saying that he came as u
delegate from his old local at Spring
Valley, 111., and would seat himself
with the delegates of that state.
Iu a brief speech Mitchell taid that
he had come he-re without any pre
conceived Ideas respecting the diffi
culties before the convention and thai
he intended to be guided in what he
does by his convictions of duty.
In a discussion one of the delegates
f'-om Kansas declared that the miners
would have a new president when the
convention adjourns, but Lewis re
plied: "No, you won't havo a new
president, and I'll tell you why. Tom
Lewis was not elected president by a
convention, but by the membership
at large."
INQUEST WAS POSTPONED
Coroner Who Opened Crippen Case ll
Dead, Rendering Proceedings
Abortive.
I-ondon, Aug. 16. When tho In
finest over the supposed remains ol
Helle Elmore, the wife of Dr. Crippen
was resumed, Dr. Se.hroeder, the act
ing coroner, announced the death ol
the coroner, Dr. Thomas, who opened
the Inquest a intioth ago.
The acting coroner stated that the
death of Dr. Thomas rendered the
proceedings at the only session con
ducted by the latter abortive. For this
resson he said the entire proceedings
would have to be repeated. The In
quest was thereupon adjourned until
Sept. 12.
Arthur Newton, solicitor for Dr.

evidence be as short as possible, in
order that he might have an opportu
nity of going into facts with his client

EMERGENCIES ARE
PROVIDED FOR
SecondaryHemorrhageOnlv Feai
In Mayor Gaynor's Case,
New York, Aug. 1G. Tho surgeon
al tending Mayor Gaynnr confessed tc
n fear of Just one thing a secondary
hemorrhage that might occur along
the path torn by the bullet. In Mayot
Gaynor's case it would mean that the
bullet had so abrased (he walls of
some artery that the pulsing blood
had broken through. Such n hemor
rhage must be checked within a cou
ple of minutes if death is lo be
averted.
Every other contingency conceiva
ble to the alert surgical mind has
been provided for. The mayor has re
ceived Injections of antitoxin to ward
off tetanus; the bullet has been view
ed as it lies embedded in bony tissue
In the roof of tl.e pharynx; the wound
bus been dressed uud asepticized and
the mayor's blood tested twice a day
for the germs of septicaemia or blood
poisoning. Of course, such precau
tions may have been taken
to guard against a secondary hemor
rhage, but wholly to guard against
that is Iii'.iKis. ible.
It developed that this stanching ol
a sccondap' hemorrhage was all that
the surgeons had in mind now when
speaking of an operation. The re
moval of the bullet is a simple affair,
Willi which they ure concerning them
selves not at all.
The mayor Is decidedly better. The
llstlessness which sometimes came
over him was absent oil day. His
cough bothered h I in somewhat, but
now thnt the surgeons know Its cause
they do not pay much heed to It.
It was suggested that the mayor's
cough might even be beneficial that
he might cough the bullet loose from
the roof of his back throat. The sur
geons do not think this event likely,
but it is absolutely possible.
