Congressman Put Out Because John Hayes Hammond, Who Wants His Job, Strolled With President.

RELATIONS OBSERVED WITH MUCH SUSPICION Friends of Gussie Gardner Think That It Should Be Him Resting Lovingly on Arm of Executive. (American News Service) "Beverly, Mass., Aug. lO. Congressman Augustus P. Gardner, representative at Washington from this district is quite angry. The sad part of it is that he can not say anything. He rode over to the Myopia club, not be cause he heard the president was ther but because he approved of the plac He was sitting upon the club house veranda when he saw something whic made him Jump and speak under hid breath. What he saw was the rear view of two men. One was a Very large per son, about six feet tall and four feet wide, with a mountainous back adorn ed with a pink striped shirt and gray flannel trousers belted where the waist line ought to have been The other was a very thin man about one fourth as wide and two feet lower than the other, whose hand was tucked conn dentially inside the great arm of th other. Congressman Gardner was an noyed because he recognized them, They were William Howard Taft, pres ldent of the United States, and John Hays Hammond, who is said to be candidate for Gardner's job. Unknown Quantity. John Hays Hammond is an unknown quantity in Massachusetts politics and Massachusetts politicians observe with suspicion his friendly relations with the president. It was particularly annoying be cause lots of people around here think it ought to be Gussie Gardner who should be strolling arm in arm with President Taft.; However, there was not much polit leal significance in the golf links ap pearance of Hammond and the presi dent. It was revenge that they were out for. The day before they ran up against Gen. Adelbert Ames and W. J. Board man of the Essex club, and the Ham mond-Taft golf team was roundly thrashed. The president demanded return match and told Hammond that he needed practice ir he expected to play with him. A lot of people around here are unkind enough to say that Hammond lost the match on purpose so he could fit in for the return game and whatever practice there might be in it. They are all Gardner sympath leers. He Gets Hair Cut. Charley Taft got his hair cut yester day. He saw his pictures in a news paper with long and tousled hair and decided that he needed sprucing up Instead of going to a barber shop, how ever he went out to the Sylph and received a sailor's hair cut This consists of placing an inverted bowl upon the bead of the victim and cutting off all the hair that protrudes beyond its edges. When the sea barber got through with Charley his own mother didn't know him. GETS HER DIVORCE Mrs. Bessie Lotz of Muncie Winner by the Court's Ruling. AN INCIDENT RECALLED Muncie, Ind., Aug. 10.

As Mrs. Lotz entered the room she introduced herself and then demanded a ring the woman was wearing, saying that it was one which she had presented to her husband several years ago.

The man In his shirt sleeves started running away and I heard a voice cry: 'Stop running: you are under arrest. "The man ran on and the same voice cried the warning again. The runner paid no attention and the next moment there was a flash and a revolver report. There were three or four more shots fired and the runner dropped. I ran and bent over him. It was Lieut.

I saw the hole m his forehead where there was a ragged entrance and a hole back of the left ear where the bullet came out clean was watching the man in his shirt sleeves all the time and am positive no shot came from his direction."

Panhandle Engineers Will

Eliminate Quick Sand by Freezing It, Then Cutting It Into Blocks. A FREEZING MACHINE HAS BEEN SECURED Thirty Years Ago the Company Failed to Reduce Jackson's Hill Grade Because of Dif ficult Problem. By freezing the Quick sand at the base of Jackson's Hill, on the Penn sylvania railroad, engineers claim that they have solved a problem which confronted the engineers of the com pany thirty years ago and prevented them from cutting down this grade at that time. Regular Ice-making mach inery will be installed on the ground and the quick- sand frozen and then removed by cutting it in blocks, the same as Ice is harvested. The quick sand will then be hauled away and dumped. There are a number of springs at the base of Jackson's hill which have no natural outlet The ground could noi De successiuny drained. As a re sult the ground, which is naturally of gravel nature, became covered with quick sand. It could not be removed, neither could a grade be made on such an insecure basis. About thirty years ago the company ordered its best en gineers to go to work on the Job with the Idea in view of cutting down the grade, which is one of the worst in the entire system. All the ability possess ed by the engineers availed nothing and the scheme was abandoned. Old Problem Again. Now that the company is again fol low!ng a reconstructive policy and is preparing to double track its system and reduce the grade to a minimum, tne old problem came up. Engineers announced that by installing an ice plant, the sand could be frozen and while in such condition cut In blocks and removed. The plant has not as yet been placed on the grounds. low ever when it is, it is expected a large number of persons will visit the place dally to witness this novel way of cir cumventing nature's obstacles.
