Because the engine was put out of order in tho vicinity of tho whirlpool he did not go clear to Lewiston in the boat which, after leaving the pool, drifted into Dead Man's eddy near Niagara university, where it was swung to shore. Larsen was picked up by an electric car and taken to Lewiston, three miles further down stream, whero his Injured arm was treated. The boat was apparently undamaged. Starting at fire o'clock, tt took Larsen five minutes to reach the railway bridges and tho next minute his boat, the Ferro, had ridden tho first wave. Ilten camo a frigbtul tumult of strike ater strike. Never before had a motor boat been lit such a sea, but it was clear that Larson was in control as the boat responded nicely to the helm. He shot through the rapid and Into the pool like a fury and was soon being rushed across tho great river ;o ket. having failed to make the outlet as he expected. He swung to the Canadian side and into the driftwood. But from this he hurried away under power. He drovo his boat away across 'o the New York side and swung out of the outlet. It was about this time that tho engine wont wrong and ho drifted into an eddy near Niagara university below the Devil's hole. As the Ferro swung toward shore it seemed as though it would be beaten on the rocks, but people on shore prevented this and helped Larsen land. Speaking of his experience, he said: "I toll you those waves in the rapIds gave me some fierce hits. I thought thoy would beat my head off. but at no time did I fall to realize where I was and what was taking place. I had passed the worst of it when my boat failed to respond to her power and I could easily have reached Lowiston by drifting had I not been caught in that eddy."

ENDS WAR ON INSURGENTS President Taft Declares That Patronage Door Will Hereafter Be Open to Alt Side. lleverly. Mass. No difference between so-called "Progressives" and "Regulars" will be recognized by President Taft hereafter, but all party leaders will bo treated alike as Republicans in the matter of federal supporL The president's views to this effect are given in a letter from Secretary Norton to a Republican leader of Iowa, whose name ls not disclosed. In the letter Secrotary Norton stated that while important Republican legislation pending in congress was opposed by certain Republican lenders, the president felt that his duty required him to withhold federal patronage from senators and representatives who seemed to occupy a position hostile to efforts . to fulfill the pledges of the party platform. That attitude on tho part of the president ended, however, with tho more recent primary elections and nominating conventions to which tho people have declared themselves, and the president now looks upon "Progrosslves" and "Regulars" allko as Republicans and as such entitled to his support and tho support of tho party, and the fnll elections. Secrotary Norton's letter says, must settle the question whether the differences of tho last sossion of congress shall bo perpetuated or forgotten. Among those from whom. It is said, tho president temporarily withheld federal patronago were Senators La Follütte. Brlstow. Dolliver and Cummins and Representative Hubbard of Iowa.
