As soon as Captain Hyland of the police arrived there he alighted, and running to the door of the Fresident's carriage, which had stopped, e assisted him to alight and walked with Senator Fairbanks and Governor Durbin | up the steps of the hospital. The occu- pants of the third carriage quickly fol-, lowed, and at the same time Captain Cal- lon had stationed his artillerymen about the entrance, and a squad of police who had been sent to thqmhospital before the President left the PTlub appeared and formed a cordon about the building. Everything was done with dispatch and the gathering crowds weré kept at a dis- ! tance. No one was dllowed to enter the hospital except those belonging to the President’s party or those who had spe- clal business there. From the time the President left the Columbia Club until he found himself in the hospital not more than ten minutes had elapsed. The necessary order to the police and | the soldiers w not given until the last moment, and in this way knowledge that | fomething was amiss was confined to those whb had official interest in President’s moyements. The first public knowledge of the true state'of affairs came in the form of a bulletin which | was issued by Secretary Cortelyou, #nd in a short time.the newspaper offices were the. center 'of excited crowds. .

"y BOUTHERN PACIFIC ENGINEER WHO RECEIVED FATAL INJURIES IN A COLLISION OF THE EASTBOUND AND WESTBOUND FLIERS FOURTEEN MILES WEST OF ELKO, NEV. ES LKO, Nev., Sept. was fatally injured and ten per- sons received serious or slight hurts in a head-end collision be- | tween the eastbound and west- bounad limited trains on the Southern Pa- cific at Tonka, a small station fourteen miles west of here, at 5:40 o'clock this mofning. They were: Engineer W. 8. Warner of Ogden, con- cussion of the brain and internal injuries; will die. Conductor Herrington, cut on face and ! head. Mrs. D. S. Barton, %8 Pine street, S8an Francisco, contusion of left eye. Fireman Earl Browning, painful body brulses. Electrician R. P. Shipley, 1460 Ninth av- enue, Oakiand, bruises. Mrs. C. J. Harpst, Arcata, Cal., bruised back and neck. D. V. Buchanan, Md., bruises on head. : A. E. Rigart, Salt Lake, slight injuries Vickerston, H. Heis, 7 West Twenty-second street, New York, slight injuries to back. Mail Clerk C. B. Epstein, Ogden, slight injuries. Conductor Reeve, Ogden, slight injuries. The accident is said to have been caused by Engineer Watner's failure to obey orders. He was at the throttie of No. 2, the westbound train, which had in- structions to take the siding at Tonka and’ let ‘No. 1, the eastbound train, pass. Instead of doing this, Warner kept on at full speed. The engineer of No. 1, which was standing on the main track at Tonka, attempted to back out of danger, but he had scdrcely got his train into motion when the westbound flier crashed into it head-on. There was little time for the engine crews to save themselves, but those on No. 1 leaped for life and escaped injury. Warner and his fireman remain- ed with their locomotive and were crush- &d _in the coilision. Engineer Warner of No. 2 was taken to Carlin by & special for medical attend- ance, arriving at 7:40 o'clock this morn- ing. Later he and the other injured were It is reported that Warner's heck was dislocated and that he sustained concussion of the brain. Con- ductor Herrington of No. 2 was cut about the face and head. Fireman Earl Brown- ing of No. 2 sustained body bruises. Passengers of both trains were badly bruised and shaken, but none were seri- ously injured. Conductor Herrington says that on ap- proaching Tonka station he gave Warner the usual bell cord signal used when pas- genger trains are to meet one another. The signal was repeated a second time without acknowledgment from the en- gineer and Herrington applied the a from the emergency valve in the buffe car, but too late fo prevent a collision. No. 1 had arrived and was standing near the west switch. The engines, together with the baggage and motor cars on both fiyers, were badly wrecked. Engineer Warner resides in Ogden, but at present his wife and one boy and girl are living at 1014 Eighteenth street, Oak- land, where the children are attending Difficult Q{yasfl'an That s dyspepsia. 1t makes life miserable.

WARNER A TRUSTED ENGINEER In the Southern Pacific’s Employ for Twenty-Two Years. W. S. Warner, the engineer fatally in- jured in the Nevada wreck, is a native of Wisconsin, aged 41 years. He began railroading at 16 years as a fireman, run- | ning on trains in and out of Milwaukee. where he was reared.

St ——— SHOT IN THE BACK Murder of William T. Lanyon at New Idria a Cold-Blooded Crime. SAN JOSE, Sept. 23.—Further particu- lars received show that the killing of William T. Lanyon of this city at the New Idria mines in San Benito County on Sunday was a cold-blooded murder. The | crime “was commitied by Jose Zamora. Lanyon had quarreled with another man in a saloon. The Jatter abused and threatened Lanyon, who started to walk away. Zamora, at this juncture, drew a | revolver and shot at Lanyon’s back as he was walking to the door. The ball assed entirely through Lanyon’s body, flling him instantly. Zamora had taken no previous part in the trouble and it is said he did not even know the man he seemed to be trying to_protect. Sheriff Croxton arrested Zamora and he is now in jail in Hollister. Lanyon's body will be brought here for burial. e Bank Officials Are Suspected.

Now what | do you want me to do?” | | The President was told to remove his 'H | shoes and stockings and nether garments. | He then removed his coat and vest. A ‘momnxt later, however, he was told to simply remove his shoes, and he would be | required to_bare the leg only. This was | done. The President walked to the opera: ‘ting table alone, and as he lay| down he | | remarked with a_smile: ‘“‘Gentlemen, vou are formal. I see you H his was a reference to the antiseptic 1gloves of the surgeon. “Mr. President,”” said a surgeon, with a smile, “it is alwaye in order to wear | gloves at a President's reception.” This caused the President to exclaim: “Good; well said.” The operation began without delay. The pain caused the President to mutter several times In a low voice, butt he said nothing that was distinct except to ask for a glass of water before the needle had been removed. A After the operation was over he made several laughing remarks concerning triv- ia. matters, and asked if he would be al- lowed to use his leg long enough to walk upstairs himself. “You will be hauled upstairs in a Wheeled ambulance,” sald a sufgeon. /| When they brought the vehicle the “Why, that's a Wheelbarrow." { CARRIED TO THE TRAIN. | After being taken to from the operating room the President was served with a light luncheon and chatted pleasantly to those in the room. He made several kind remarks to the at- tending nurses about the trouble he was causing, and shifted his position several times nerypusl At 7:40 p, around hinkand he was placed on the hos- | pital stretcher and, escorted by a com- pany of infantry, was carried to the car about a block away by four negro porters from the train. He bade good-by to the nurses as he was being carried out of the hall to the elevator and thanked them for their kindness. He did not talk during his trip to_the car. Benator Fairbanks, Gov- ernor “Durbin and other prominent citi- | zens were at the train to bid him | g00d-by. i The swelling of the President's leg' which made an opération necessary was occasioned by a bruise he received at the time of the trolley accident at Pittsfield, Mass., when the President’s carriage was | run into and demolished by a car. Be-| sides being injured in the face and across the eye, he at that time received a bruise upon the inner part of the left leg, be- tween the ankle and the knee, but he paid no attention to it, ignoring it as being a | slight bruise not worth talking about. | For several weeks he took no heed of it, | but finally it began to pain him so as to enforce his attention. After starting on | his Western trip he determined that Df. Lung who was aboard the train, should examine it. The doctor did so, and pro- | nounced it a serious matter. When in De- ' | troit the doctor finally said that some- | | thing would have to_be done. After con- sulting with Dr. Richardson, another | member of the party, it was decided that | in order to avoid the possibility of blood | poisoning it probably would be wise to have an operation performed. The Presi- | dent was v much averse to anything of ! the kind being done, But nevertheless, when Logansport, Ind., had been reached | he had been prevailed upon to deliver the | tariff speech which had been prepared for | delivery at Milwaukee and which was re- | | garded as one of the most important of | | his proposed speeches for the West. i | PHYSICIANS SUMMONED. | At Logansport Senator Beveridge board- ed the train, and, after a consultation with him, it was decided that he should summon several of the best physicians of Indianapolis to meet the President, and | with this end in view the Senator tele- graphed to Dr. George H. Oliver, Dr.! George J. Cook and Dr. Henry Jameson to be at the Massachusetts avenue sta- tion. When the train pulled into the sta- tion the doctors were there and they were taken by the Senator immediately into | the President's car. The physicians ac- | companied the party to Tomlinson Ha.ll,r and it was thought by those who noticed them that they were merely present as | members of the reception committee. ‘When the President arose to acknowl- edge the reception given him at the hall | and also when he got up from his seat | to make his speech it was noticed by | those near him in the front of the hall | that he stood with all his weight on his | right leg and the posture seemed so awk- | ward and so much like a pose that it] caused more than one cumment. During | the delivery of his speech, when he had | become aroused, he stood on both legs, | and at one point in the speech he seemed | to forget about his injury so completely | that he took several steps, and in so do-i ing hit his leg against a gun that was | stacked with others on the stage. An| expression of pain passed quickly over | his face, which was remarked upon by | many listening to him, who could l\cti understand why he should make such‘ peculiar facial expressions. The trip to | the Columbia Club followed without any | feature that would give even a hint that | the Western trip of the President was ntl an end. Every one, including even those who were in the President’s party, out- | side of Secretary Cortelyou and the phy- sicians. had no thought but that the pro- gramme was to be carried out to the end, and it was a gay throng that marched | into the club to take luncheon and hava1 | | a little rest. CONSULTATION OF DOCTORS. But instead of going into the dining- room the President was taken into a private room, where, unknown to the bustling crowd inside and outside of the club, he was made the subject of a serious consultation by the physicians. His leg was bared and the swelling examined. After a considerable time. the physicians | arrived at the verdict. Said Dr. Oliver: “In order to avoid possible blood poison- | ing setting in it will be necessary for the resident to submit to a slight operation,” and in this view all the other doctors concurred. The President demurred, but his objections were overruled by the ar- | gument that a man in his position could | not afford to take chances. The President | wished that the operation, since it was necessary, should be postponed until he reached 'ash|n§ton, but the physicians again proved obdurate, They said that while no serious conse- uences might follow a postponement of e operation, still there remained { i “Vgry well, then it will have to be that Why Richmond Ranges Are the Cheapest Richmond Ranges consume from one-fourth to one-third less coal than any rangé of egual size in the market.

SPEAKS ON TARIFF QUESTION. President Says Interests of Entire Country Must Be Considered. LOGANSPORT, Ind., Sept. 23.—Presl- dent Roosevelt and party reached Logans- port at 7:5 this morning with the screeching of whistles and shouts of a great crowd assembled at the station to greet him. His train was transferred from the Wabash to the Panhandle tracks here. The party was driven to the High School, where the President made a short speech. ‘When the stand was reached the rain was coming down hard, A great many umbrellas were raised and cries from those in the rear who could not see the President induced him to say: “I will make a bargain with you; I won't have an umbrella over my head if you won't have one over yours."” The crowd laughed and a great many of the umbrellas were lowered. After thanking the people for turning out to grledet him in such weather the President sald: Probably the most important aid which can be contributed by the national Government to the material well-being of the country Is to insure its financial stability. An honest cur- rency s the strongest symbol and expression of honest business life. The buginess world must exiét largely on dredit, and t6 credit confidence is essential. Any tampering with the currency, no matter with what purpose, is fraught with the susplcion of dishonesty, is fatal in its effect on business prosperity. Ignorant and primi- tive communities aré continually obliged to learn the elementary truth that the repudiation of debts is in the end ruinous to the debtors as a class, and when communities have moved somewhat higher in the scale of civilization they also learn that anything in the nature of a debased currency works similar damage. THE FIRST ESSENTIAL. A financial system of assured honesty is the first essential. _Another essential for any com- munity is perseverance in the economic system which for a_course of years is found best to 1ts needs. The question of combining such fixedness of economic policy as regards the tariff, while at the same time allowing for a necessary and propet readjustment of dutes in particular schedules, as such readjustment be- comes a matter of pressing importance, is not an easy one. It is perhaps too much to expect that from the discussion of such a question it ‘would be possible wholly to eliminate political partisanship. Yet those who belleve, as we all must when we think seriously of the subject, that the proper aim of the party system is after all simply to subserve the public good, cannot but hope where such partisanship on a matter of this kind conflicts with the public good it shall be at least minimized. What we really need in this country is to treat the tariff as a buginess proposition and not from the stand- point of the temporary needs of any present party. It surely ought not be necessary to awell ‘upon the folly from a business stand- point, from the standpoint of national prosper- ity, of violent and radical changes amounting to the direct upsetting of tariff policfes at in- tervals of every few years. A natien like ours can adjust its business after a fashion to any kind of tariff. But neither our nation nor any other can stand the tuinous policy of readjusting its business to radical changes in the tariff at short inter- vals. This is more true now than ever it was before, for owing to the immense extent and varlety or our products the tariff schedules of to-day carry rates of duty on more than 4000 articles. Continual sweeping changes in such a tarlff, touching so intimately the commer- cial interests of the nation, which stands as one of the two or three greatest in the indus- trial world, cannot be but disastrous. Yet, on the other hand, where the industrial needs of the nation shift, rapidly as they do with us, it is a matter of prime {mportance that we should be able to readjust our economic as rapidly as possible and with as little friction as possible to these needs. We need a scheme which will enable us to provide a reapplication of the principle to the changed conditions. The problem, therefore, is to d- vise some plan by which these shifting nee can be recognized and the necessaty readjusi- ment of deeds provided without forcing the entire business community, and therefore the entire nation, submit to a vio- lent surgical operation, the mere threat of which and still more the accom- plished fact of which, would probably par- alyze for a considerable time all the industries of the country. ‘WOULD HURT INDUSTRIES. Such radical action ht reads lce . the _conditions. l‘trom"r',hlnh - years ago. It Is on every to account most earnastly to be hoped that this problem can be solved in some manner into which partisanship shall enter as a pureiy secondary consideration, if at all; that is, in some manner which shall provide for an earn- est effort by non-partisan inquiry and actio: to secure any changes, the need of which is indicated by the effect found to proceed from a given rate of duty on a given article; ils effect, it any, as regards the creation of a sub- stantial monopoly; its effect upon domestic prices, upon the revenue of the Government, upon the Importations from abroad, upon home production and upon consumption. In oth words, we need to devise some machinery by which, while pursuing the policy of a pro- tective tariff, in which I think the nation as & whole has now generally acquiesced, we would be able to correct the irregularities and re- move the incongruities produced by the changing conditions without destroying the wholeé structure. Sueh machinery would per- mit us to continue our definitely settled tariff poliey while providing for the changes in du- ties upon particular schedules which must in- evitably and necessarily take place from time to time, matters of legislative and administra- tive detall. This would secure the needed sta- bility of economic policy which is a prime fas- tor in our Industrial success, while doing away with any tendeéncy to fossilization. It would recognize the fact that our needs shift and it may be found advisable to alter rates and #chedules, adapting them to the changed con- ditions and necessities of the whole people, and this would be in no wise compatible witi preserving the principle of orotection, for be- Hef in the wisdom of a protective tariff is no way inconsistent, frankly admitting the de- sirability of changing a set of schedules when from any cause such change is in the interests of the nation as a whole, and our tariff policy is designed to favor the interests of the nation as a whole and not those of any particular set of individuals, save as an incident to their building up of national well-being. There are two or three different methods by which it will be possible to provide such readjustment without any shock to the business world. My personal preference would be for action which should be taken only after pre- liminary inquiry by and upon the findings of a body of experts of such high character and ability that they could be trusted to deal with the subject purely from the standpoint of our business dnd industrial neéds; but bf course Congress would have to de- termine for us the exact method to be followed. The _executive department Las at its command the means. for gathering most of the meccssary cata and can act when- ever it is the desire of Congress that it should act. That the machinery exists for turning out the policy above outlined I am very cer- taln, if only our people will make up their minds_ that the health of the community will be subserved by treating the whole question primarily from the standboint of the business interests of the entire country rather than trom the standpoint of fancied interests of any group of politicians, PROTECTION OF PRODUCER. Of courseé, in making any .changes, we should have to proceed in accordance with certain fixed and definite principles and the most important of these is an avowed determination to protect the interests of the American producer, be he business man, wage worker cr farmer, The one consideration which must never be omitted in a tariff change is the imperative need of preserving the American standard of living for the American workingman, The tariff rate must never fall below that which will protect the American workingman by allow- ing for the difference betwesn the general la- bor cost here and abroad, o as to at least equalize the conditions arising from the dif- ference in the standards of labor here and abroad—a difference which it should be our aim to Yoster in so far as it represents the needs of better educated, better paid, better fed and oatter clothed workingmen of a higher class than any to be found in a forelgn country. At all hazards, and no matter what else is sought for or accomplished by Congress of the tariff, the American workingman must be protected in his standard of wages, that is, in his stand- ard of living, and must be accorded the fullest orportunity of employment. Our laws shouid in no event afford advantage to foreign industries over American industries. They should in no event do less than equalize the difference in the conditions at home and abroad. The general tariff policy to which, without regard to changes 'n detall, I belleve this country to be irrevocably committed, 1s fundamentally based upon ample recognition of the diffefence of labor cost here and abroad; in other words, the recogmition of the need for full development of the intelligence, the comfort, the high standard of civilized living and of the inventive genlus of the American workingman as compared to the workingman the time during th re in reading. He is cheerful and is Iving in bea with his leg propped up on a pillow. The train 1 run on a slow schedule, making about thirty miles an hour, and is due to arrive in Washington at 8:30 o’clock to- morrow evening. He will be taken to 222 Jackson place, where the temporary ex- ecutive offices are located. It was learned to-night that the determiination to aban- don the trip was reached yesierday and notices to this effect were sent out from Detroit and to-day from Indianapolis to those interested in the places where the President was to visit. No inkling of this decision was made known to the members cf the President’s party on the train, out- side of his physicians and secretarfes, until Secretary Cortelyou issued his an- nouncement. The President did not speak to Dr. Lung, his official physician, of the pain in his leg until a few days ago. Yes- terday the pain became so intense that it was decided to take no further risks by continuing the trip. The President regrets exceedingly that he has been compelled to abandon his irip. He has received a large number of telegrams of condolence. e e Troops Work on Wet Roads FORT RILEY, Kans, Sept. 23.—At Camp Root to-day practice at war man- euvers was confined to brigade and di- vision drill with close order.

Three months later he wrote to say that there was still some abdominal drogsy that would not dissi- pate and that he might have to tap once or twice and that he believed the patient’s recovery would be complete. Last week a business man, a friend of the doctor's, called in to say for him that his anticipations had been realized and that the hopeless patient of ten months ago was now well. And further to show the intense interest of the phy- sician we will add that it was the mission of the business friend of the doctor to learn if an offer to purchase a State right would be ¢onsidered.
