Taft!" As he left the ferryboat In Long Island City and walked over to the tralnahed there was more of this Impromptu greeting.

Miss Sadie PetUt waa finally awakened by the voice of a neighbor calling to bar. Half dated at the noise of the crowd la the darkness around her home, she started violently and fell backward on the roof, thus sating herself.

It was not long after 'X o'clock, when Miss Pettit, who sleeps on the second Ooor, rose In her and smashing every glass In her window' with a heavy mallet crawled out on to the waterspout. Neither the crash of the splintered glass nor a she received on her wrist wakened her, and she continued her perilous Journey till she reached the root of the porch. from there, still she climbed up ten feet of water-piping to the roof of the second story and vtood there on top of a narrow brick parapet. 1 Though she did not waken even then, some eemi-connclousncss of her danger came to her, and she shrieked loudly as she stood poised forty feet above the ground. 'Her cries roused Miss Louise Richardson, her next-door neighbor.

Fi nally Miss Petit, clad only in her night clothes, seated herself on the ledge and dangled her feet In the air. A crowd collected. Miss Richardson then summoned a doctor and sent for the police. It was suggested that the Fire Depart ment would have to be summoned, but this was abandoned, as it was feared that the. noise of the approaching apparatus might startle Mia Pettit and she would fall to the street.

Finally two policemen got as near to her as the strength of the water Pipe would allow; and Miss Richardson called to her to wake up and alt still. She fell then to the roof behind her. Restored to her senses by the fall. Mis Pettit climbed down the water pipe and reached her rescuers, after being on the roof over an hour. She at once fainted.

and has remained In her foom all day. PENSION FOR MRS. CLEVELAND Probable That Congress Will Vote Her $5,000 at Next Session. WASHINGTON. June 27.

A pension of $5,000 a year will probably be voted to Mrs. Cleveland by special act at the next session of Congress. Such an act would be In line with the precedent established In 1882, when similar pensions were voted to Mrs. Tyler. Mrs.

Polk, and Mrs. Gar field. That same year? Mrs. Lincoln's pension was rained from $3,000 to S.QpO. Mrs.

Garfield continues to receive her pension. The only other Presidents widow alive Is Mrs. Harrltfcm. and she is not the least in need. Besides this, Mrs.

Harri son, tbe second wife of the President, married him long after he had left the White House. Though these pensions have been granted to the widows of Pres idents as such, all those who have been pensioned heretofore have been the wid ows of men-who have seen military -serv ice. Their widows were entitled to a pen sion under: the general laws and their amendments. 1 Mr. Cleveland is one of the few Presi dents who was never ai soldier, except that as President he waa Commander In Chief of the Army of the United States.

Many persons do not know that Presi dent Lincoln saw active military service. The Pension Office records, however. show that he was the Captain, of a company of militia in the. Black Hawk In dian war in the thirties. His widow was entitled to a service pension on that ac count.

Mrs. Lincoln a pension papers were looked up yesterday by. Dr. A. H.

Thomp son, Chief of the Finance Division of the Pension Office. Investigation disclosed that G. A. L. Merrirield.

at present a member of the Board of Pension Review, approved the original application Mrs. Lincoln. Congress has granted a number of high- rate pensions to other than Presidents' widows. The wives of Gen. John A.

Logan, George B. McCleilan, and Frank P. Blair are now on the rolls at $2,000 a year. LOFTY STEEL TOWER ALL UP. A Gold Rivet Finishes Skeleton of the Metropolitan Life's Skyscraper.

Siberia, June 27. For two hours to-day the German Protos ear and the American Thomas car, which are making a close race across Asia In the New Tork to Parts contest, were tn this city together. The Protos, which amyea here at lO clock yesterday morning, had waited a day for some repairs, and the Thomas came in at 13 o'clock this morning. Just twenty-four hours behind. At noon the Protos started out again.

The Thomas will take the road at 3 o'clock to-morrow morning. Just fifteen hours behind, and the Americans hope to bo in the lead before many days pass. The Thoma5 car departed from Irkutsk for the third stage of its Journey across Asia at 4 o'clock on Sunday afternoon. Out of that city it met with an excellent road alonjr the bank of the river. Picnic parties were -seen In the cool shade of the bank.

As they saw the raclner car thev waved hats and handkerchiefs. They presentcH a tempting picture of comfort to the weary automoDiiists, who ror many nights, have rushed ahead wlth irjusuf flcfenl sleep, but, speed-bitten, they had to fly on. FerrrbeM Slalta With Car, The trip of the American crew has row become a dull grind In the effort to wipe out the lead of the German car and be the first to arrive In Mos cow, and then to-lead the way through Europe to Pari a The crew heard con stantly that the Protos was Just tin hours ahead. They met with many provoking delays. Many of the ferries across the streams were found to be only email flatboats held by cables and propelled by the current.

Half the people of one village Insisted on getting aboard a ferryboat with the Thomas car. The weight was so great that the boat sank and stuck on the bottom. The villagers swam off. set to work with a will, and towed the boat to the shore, but valu able hours had been lost before this task was accomplished. The runs of the car have been con tinued as far into the night as possible.

and It has glided through the sleeping villages In grim silence, the crew being too weary to talk. At 11 o'clock Mon day night George Shuster decided to stop at a village to get some sleep. though the crew, hopeful of catching the Protos, wanted to press on. Feared Attack by Villagers. Shouts finally aroused some one, and there were loud shouts In reply from within a high log fence, such as sur rounds all the houses In the outlying: districts in this part of A man appeared on the roof of an outbuilding and then disappeared.

There were voices within the yard and the gate was suddenly flung open and a dozen men and women rushed out. Apparent ly they intended to attack the car and the crew made ready to meet them. It developed that they were Russians and were friendly, and this was only their demonstrative way of showing a welcome. The Thomas crew were conducted tb a -military roadhouse, but the man tn charge was doubtful whether to admit the autolsts. "While Capt, Hansen argued with him In Russian, Shuster and Miller, worn out by their driving and labors with the car, fell sound asleep, to the amusement of the villagers, who bad crowded Into ithe room.

Finally the visitors were permitted to stay, and Capt. Hansen, like an old-time minstrel, told the story; of the race to the villagers, who sat with wide-open eyes listening intently ana naxoiy knowing whether to believe all the wonders he related. i When tea and bread; were put upon the table for the men the country people departed like the village chorus in the theatre. There was a bed only for one, and Shuster, by common consent, took that, jwhlle the other, members of the crew did the best they could on the floor. They slept soundly enough ana awoke to get more tea and bread and to start again on the same weary grind in pursuit of the flying Germans.

AURORA, 111.. June 27. John W. Gates visited his old home in St. Charles, I1L, yesterday, and the town still gasps at his lavish expenditure of money.

Mr. and Mrs. Gates arrived from New Tork unheralded Thursday afternoon to bid farewell to Mr. Gates's aged mother, Mrs. A.

A. Gates, before leaving on an auto mobile tour of Europe. Mr. Gates arose early yesterday morning. Going down the main street of th town he strolled into the barber shop of a friend, E.

T. Cassldy, who has been at the same stand for thirty year. Mr. Gates, being shaved, threw down a ten-dollar gold piece and with a laughing farewell sought the street. Urchins playing on the walks excited more generosity and reaped a harvest of dimes, quarters, and half-dollars.

The news that the Gates horn of plenty was upturned fpread through the village and the crowd which gathered forced him to seek refuge in his mother's home. Later he drove througn the country with E. J. Baker and David Wilson of St. Charles.

From Wilson Mr. Gates bought a farm stocked with blooded cattle for $25,000 that had long coveted. On the return trip Mr. Gates suddenly turned to Baker, saying: Ed. take this deed to that chunk of land I've Just bought.

It's yours." Baker waa so overcome that he could not velee his gratitude for some time. When he finally found his breath his thanks were waved aside with a. request for one of those dear old five-cent smokes that have earned reputation if not tame ror cnartea. mexicaITraiders trapped. Revolutionary Movement Was Started by Three Agitators in United States.

CTTT OF MEXICO. June 27. The uprisings in the northern part of this repub lic have now become the subject of International correspondence. Communications from Minister of FIrcign Affairs Mario-cal wej-e sent to the State Department at Washington to-day. This condition arose out of the fact that the raiders who shot up the town ef Las Vacas yesterday are now on Texas soil and claiming the protection of the United States.

In an interview to-night Vice Presi dent Corral declared that the Govern ment bad succeeded in unraveling the conspiracy which prompted the recent attacks on the towns of Vlesca and-Las Vacas, In which a number of lives were lost, considerable property destroyed, and $30,000 in cash obtained by the looters. This whole trouble has been declared the Vice by three agitators who are at present residing in the United States. These men, recently appealed to certain of the criminal and ignorant element of the border State of Mexico, inciting them to raid certain designated towns for the purpose of robbing the banks and Government offices under the plea that funds could be thus raised for the cause of an alleged revolution. WASHINGTON. June 27.

LONDON HUES SOLD TO LORD N0RTHCL1FFE Formal Transfer Not Yet Made, but: Daily Mall Owner Now Controls "the Thunderer.M COMPANY CONTROL FAILS Walter Family Interests Satisfied with the Price Paid News of Sale Kept from London special caw to Tn Nrw Tork Trass. LONDON, June 27. The following in formation reaches me from a source which I have good reason to believe authoritative. Lord Northcllffe, the principal pro prietor of The Dally Mall and other publications, has acquired the sole proprietorship of The London Times.

The preliminary arrangements have been kept a profound secret, and the sale of the paper coming ao soon after the organization of the limited liability company In order to prevent Its purchase by Arthur Pearson, will create astonish ment throughout the world. The purchase was completed only within the last ten days, and arrangements for the transfer of the paper are still awaiting developments, which may.be reel pi tated by what will be regarded aa this premature announcement of the sale, While I am unable to state how much Lord Northcllffe paid for his latest acquisition, I can say that the price paid for the good will of The Times is euffl dent to satisfy all those members and relatives of the Walter: family and they are many who had a financial in terest in It under the wills of the sue cessive proprietors. For the machinery alone Lord Northcllffe paid this being the valuation put upon it by The Times, but it is within my knowledge that It Is his Intention to sell this plant and replace it with another of a more complete and up-to-date order. The recent decision to turn The Times Into a limited liability company was partly due to friction between the old proprietors and partly because of in ternai differences as regards the management. It was expected the change would give those Interested financially some voice in the direction of the paper according to the value of- their holdings.

It appears that this arrangement did not turn out to be satisfactory. The discontent by degrees became more and more accentuated, and the differences more marked. The shareholders, be ing for the most part members of the Walter family, and descendants and collaterals for three generations. It was considered best for all concerned to sell the paper and make a proportionate division of the money realized. At this Juncture Lord Northcllffe came in and made an equitable offer, which was accepted.

It may be added that when The Times was turned Into a limited liability company with Arthur Walter. E. Buckle, and Moberly Bell as chief managers and Directors, the rumor' got abroad that Lord Northcllffe was the principal financial backer of the scheme. This, I am In a position to say.dlsUnctly, was not the case, for Lord Northcllffe would never have con sented to contribute any money to support a paper of which it has for some years past been his ambition, if a fitting opportunity presented itself, to be come chief proprietor.

The three-ear tral 0. which was going only to Harlem, pulled out of the Ninety-ninth Street station with Matthew Kelly of 233 East Ninety-eighth Street fn th motor box. His train was wQ filled. Just a th first ear nosed across 101st Street th train came to a stop.

Aftor the accident Kelly waa found to be miss ing, so that th police eould not find ont Just what had caused bis train to stop, Supt. J. Smith said that most likely be had stopped because saw ahead of him another train at the 106th Street station. So far a I eaa see, went en Mr. Smith, th trouble was with Motormaa William Holland on tbe second train.

No matter what made the first train bait. Holland should bave been able to stop his train in time, because be had Just pulled out of th Ninety-ninth Street station, and couki not have been going rast. i nave neara tcai ne was loosing out of his wisdow at th house and street sight along th way. I haven't talked to him veL. Th Dolice have him.

but ha should nave stopped his train. I understand be says put on the brakes, but that the train skidded. I don't believe that. I can't, find any evidence of th train skidding. Kelly baa ben quoted as saying that something waa tbe matter with his emergency brakes, that they clapped down suddenly and brought his train to a stop.

That laa't true, as far as can see." Passenger Cave the Alai David Kletleman of 690 East lVXh. Street said later that he sat la th front of the first of the seven ear train and noticed that the motor-bog door wsar" open. I saw the tnotorman looking eat ef his side window, apparently at some women who sat at their windows looking down on th street and at peastng train" said Mr. Kletleman. "I looked ahead, again Just a minute or two before we reached th forward train.

jumped and yelled at th motormani For God's sake, stop the ratal Ton-, ders another. Run back, people. With that I rushed back to tbe rear ef the ear. Women screamed aad evabbed hold of any man they eon Id reach, are -the men fought to get to th roar ef the ear. -A, good many children were ta the car.

but thdr mother or fathers grabbed them bb. Anyway, our train wasn't much burl. It was too other train." That was true. The first car or ta col liding train had soma of Its ironwork -bent In front, but few of Its window even ware smashed. sd Its front was not torn open.

The last car or the first train happened to be of flimsy build, mostly of wood, aad though th second train could not have been going fast, it eraahed Into the first train's rear car as If It war an exit- shell. Ten feet of th ear waa maaned into splinters, which littered th track and tho ground below. Trwolc Poised Over Street The rear truck ef this ear was rut loose from tbe body, and went dangling ovr to the' right. When the two front wheels had Just stock themselves over tbe ralAg at that point, making tt appear tLat tbe whole hug bulk ef metal must slide down on th sidewalk below, tt stopped, teetering back and forth. Th short rlreuU mad by tbe wheel com Ins; in contact with the third rll brought out gleaming flashes bio flame, which et on fire some of the snMnter from the demolished car.

The fizzing and sputtering of the flame 'added to the panto of the occupant of 4oih trs In. i There must have ben nearly persons in the second train. Tbe shock of the collision had broken a window -her and there to the train. -the flying-rlaaa cutting a few persona slianiiy. Th shock slammed many of the patm-gers, particularly those who had been hanging to.
