ect took the first step toward the
assumption of a tremendous respon-
sibility that will bear heavily on his

St. Petersbuig. .Ian. -5.—No def-1
inite news has yet been received here I
of th earthquake which was record-
ed bo extensively throughout Eu-
rope last Saturday morning. The
indications are that it occurred in a
remote and thinly populated region
of Pamir, in Russian Turkestan, and
that the effect was localized.
It is poinred out however, that it
was not until two days had passed
that the real extent of the appaling
disaster in Messina reached the out-
side world from a point so easy of
access as Sicily. Consequently lt is
considered not at all strange that
r.o word has yet come from the shak-
en region.
Everywhere the wires of the tele-
graph and the cable reach the world
is being searched for more news of the
earthquake, most of the inquiries
being directed toward lOastern Eu-
rope and Asia, which is considered
the most probable field for investi-
gation. Messages are still reaching
here from observatories in various
parts of the world saying that
shocks of long duration and great
violence had been recorded.

(Kan.) penitentiary, Including all|ermnent 0f Cuba has prodded satU-
convicts with good prison records
under 18 years, all who served two-
thirds of their terms, and all with
loss than a year to serve. It. was
the sense of the committee that If
Haskell, who recommended the
proposition, in a special message,
wants these men paroled, he must
act on Ills own responsibility, and
that of the state board of pardons.
Representative Durant of the com-
mittee, said:
"The pardoning power is invested
in the executive branch, and the
legislative branch has nothing to do
with it."
It develops that legislators feel
factorlly during the past year. Dur-
ing the two and one half years of its
existence there has been a condi-
tion of peace and tranquility in the
island that is creditable to the high-
est degree. All of the laws which
the Peace Commission of 1906
deemed indispensable have been
either enacted or are now so far ad-
vanced in process of enactment that
they will become laws before the
termination of the present govern-
ment. In addition many other laws
essential to the welfaVe of Cuba
have been enacted. During the past
year two important elections have
taken place, namely the municipal

billty for deciding one of the most
momentous questions ever present- J
ed by an engineering problem. As
a result of the inspection, the plaas
for the gigantic waterway may be,
completely changed. In case the en-|
gineers should fail to agree upon j
the desirability of proposed changes
—as is entirely likely—the decision
will be up to Mr. Taft. If time
proves the wisdom of his decision
his name will be forever linked with
the canal project and he will thus
gaiu immortality. If he should fail
—admitting the existence of such a
word in the Taft lexicon—then ob-
livion is the kindest fate he may
hope for.
Of all the problems presented, the
(Jatum dam offers the most diffi-
culties.' This dam, according to
plans, is to create a giant reserweir
covering 110 square miles, the water
coming from the Charges liver. The
water in the reservoir will be 125
feet above the level of the sea and
far above the highest level of the
canal. If this dam should give way
it would precipitate a flood that
would wrek millions of dollars
worth of property and cost hundreds
of lives.
Whether this dam can be built In
such a manner as to 'be entirely safe. |
and its breaking rendered impos-|
slble. is the problem Mr. Taft and(
liis engineers will have to decide. I
and their reputations will hang tn|THK
the balance. If an adverse decision j
Is made in the Gatum dam project,
it will necessitate the entire aban-j
donment of the present project and
the loss of thousands of dollars al-
ready expended.
Among the engineers who have
already made thorough investiga-
tions of the canal work, there is a
wide difference of opinion as to the
feasibility of the Gatum dam. Lin-
don Hates, the most famous of the
engineers who has thoroughly in-
spected this part of of the project,
dismisses it as unsafe and iniprac-

Kingfisher, Okla.. Jan. 25—A. L.
Thomas of Fort Worth, Tex., con-
ductor on the ill-fated Rock island
tr/iin that went thro^g^ a bridge in-
to the Cimarron river near Dover,
and who saved many lives by his he-
roic work, has again been promoted.
He has been made superintendent of
transportation of the San Antonio
and Aransas Pass Railway of Texas.
He has been trainmaster for the
Rock Island.
When the wreck of two years ago
occurred Thomas was on the rear of
the Pullman, when every coach
ahead of it was plunged into the riv-
er. Seeing a chance to save many
lives, he threw off his clothes and
sprang into the water. He swam
to the cars and chopped holes with
an ax in the tops, in this way he
saved the lives of many passengers,
and limited the loss of lives to not
more than six or seven. Soon after
the wreck he was given the posi-
tion of trainmaster of the Rock Isl
and, and now he is transferred tc
San Antonio, where he Is given a
still better position.

the federal authorities placed a con-
tract with a Fayettevllle. Ark., pro-
duce commission company for two
car loads of chickens and effgs to be
sjilpped to New Orleans for ship-
ment to Panama, the eastern Okla-
homa country faces a poultry and
egg famine. The price since the
awarding of this contract has jump-
ed from 7 to 11 cents for chickens,
that of eggs experiencing even a
sharper advance. Local markets

New York, Jan. 25—The waters
of the Atlantic closed last night over

meantime its passengers together
with those of the Florida, whose
bow crashed Into the Republic, were
riding the waves in safety on the
Baltic for this port. Six dead and
two injured Is apparently the sum
total of casualties. But for the
wireless messages which summoned
aid all would have been lost.

are. well under way and the other
four will be 'built as soon as these
are completed. They will cost $:L-

days. He said today, "I can sell
these houses as fast as they are

With all the building that Is going
