President Roosevelt Will Press a But
ton In The Whits House st Wash
ington Which Will Start
The First Train Mov
ing. (Special to The Argtts.)
New York, Feb. 22-The north tubes
of the Hudson fc Manhattan Railroad
Company, commonly known as the
McAdoo tunnels, running under the
TJorth River from Hoboken to Morton
street, Manhattan, will be opened to
the public next Tuesday. This will
mark the completion of the first sec
tion ot the gigantic 60,000,000 tunnel
system, and the event will be signal
ized by a fitting celebration. Presi
dent Roosevelt will press a button in
the White House at Washington which
will start the first train moving, and
it is expected that Governor Fort, of
New Jersey, and Governor Hughes, ol
New York, will take an active part in
the exercises. .
The McAdoo system, which has fie
quently been adjudged to be the great
est and most costly engineering ieat of
the century, as well as the most com
prehensive traffic arrangement ever
devised, was first started in 1874. De
Witt Clinton Haskin, a California civi
engineer, who had been active in the
construction of the Union Pacific Rail
road, drew the plans and made the sur
veys at his own expense.
But at that time people laughed at
the project. It was the scheme of
dreamer with a disordered mind, they
said, and even engineering experts
hook their heads. Capitalists would
have nothing to do with it. The early
promoters of the project completed
about 1,200 feet ot a tunnel under the
Hudson, and then lailed. Ten years
later others took hold of the scheme,
built about the 6ame number of feet
and again failed. From 1892 to 1902
there was nothing doing in the tunnel
line under the Hudson river, so far as
this scheme was concerned.
Then it was that William G. McAdoo
and his associates took hold of the work
that others had failed to carry to a suc
cessful termination. Now the dream
of former years is about to beoome an
accomplished fact. Within a few
days passenger trains will be running
regularly beneath the great waterway
between the Jersey shore and Manhat
tan.
The section now completed com
prises about one-fourth of the entire
line of tunnels and tracks which will
be opened for passenger traffic during
the summer. The route of this section
is from the terminal, at the foot of
Ferry street, Hoboken, under the river
to Morton street, up Greenwich street
to Christopher, across Christopher to
Sixth avenue, and up Sixth avenue to
Nineteenth street. When completed
the system will continue to Sixth ave
nue to Thirty-third street There will
be a tunnel also from Sixth avenue
across Ninth street, connecting with
the present Subway just above the
As tor Place, station.
The southern division of the system
runs down the Jersey side from the
Hoboken terminal and across the river
to the Dey street terminal in Manhat
tan, with stations at the Erie and Penn
sylvania railroad terminals in Jersey
and a connection with the Fulton street
station ot the Subway. Another line
will be extended from the Pennsylva
nia terminal to Newark. These sec
tions of the system will be opened in a
few months.
The grand terminal 'station for these
tunnels will be the great Terminal
building now being erected on Church
street, which, when completed, will be
the largest office structure in the world.
There will be space on the twenty-two
floors for 4,000 offices, and probably it
will house more varied Interests than
any other office building on earth.
The station will be located nnder ' this
mammoth structure. The floor just
below the street level will be known as
the Concourse floor. Here will be
located waiting-rooms, telegraph
rooms, telephbne kiosks, flower, cigar
and newspaper stands, lunch counters
and other conveniences for the travel
ing public.
Below the concourse floor will be the
train platforms. There will be five
tracks within the terminal station, run
ning between six platforms. The cars
will have side and end doors operated
automatically bv compressed air, and
trains cannot start until all the doors
are closed. The crush will be further
minimized by the fact that the trains
run between doable platforms, passen
gers entering from one side and leav
ing by the other.
Another wonderful feature of this
great terminal building will be the ar
cade. This will be a great glass en
closed passageway, lined with shops
and booths. It will be much larger
than any of the famous Europen ar
cades, and will contain every desira
ble attraction that can be putinto it.
It will be the most famous covered
shopping street in the world. Over
head win De tne s.uuu omces, among
them the general offices of the United
States Steel Corporation and several of
the world's greatest railroad systems.

NEWS FORECAST OF
THE COMING WEEK
(Special to the Abgtjs.)
Washington, D. C, Feb. 22.
National politics, the debates in Con
gress on financial legislation, progress
of the American battleship fleet on its
way to San Francisco and important
national conventions and conferences
will furnish a large share of the news
for American readers during the com
Ing week. Abroad the development ol
events in Portugal, the Dauubian pro
viaces and in Persia will bo watched
with close attention.
The several weeks of debate in Con
gress is expected, to result in some im
portant and decisive action during the
coming week, but just what the results
will be it is impossible to forecast with
certainty.
One ot the ehief political events will
be the State convention of Missouri
that will assemble in St. Louis Thurs
day to name delegates to the National
Republican conventien. It is expected
that the convention will follow the ex
ample of the State committee and the
county eenventions by indorsing can
didacy of Secretary Taft for the presi
dential nomination. In addition to the
State convention in Missouri there will
be a number of Congressional conven
tions held by the Republicans in va
rious States to choose district delegates
to the Chicago convention.
Some important changes are expect
ed to be handed down by the Supreme
Court of the United States when that
body convenes Monday. The decision
in regard to the Hepburn railroad rate
law is awaited with keen interest. If
the court decides that the Hepburn
law repealed the Elkins rebate act and
nullified all prosecutions under that
act which had not been begun at the
time of the passage of the rate law, the
Administration will suffer a serious
check in its work of trust piosecution.
Whether a general strike of coal
miners is to take place in April at the
expiration of the present three-year
wage agreement will probably be de
cided at the conference of mine opera
tors and miners which' is to meet m
Indianapolis Thursday. Roth sides
appear inclined to conciliation and it
is la o pea that an amicable agreement
will be reached.

What Leading Railroad Men Think of
Roosevslt's Instructions to the
Inter-State Commerce Com
missioner.. (Special to The Argus.)
New York, Feb. 21. President
Gompers, of the American Federation
of Labor, arrived here from Washing
ton and sought a conference with a
number of leading interests on the sub
ject of railway wage reduction.
He declares the financial condition of
railway employes at this time, when
the cost of living is higher than at any
time in the history of this country,
oannot stand reduction.
He says a strike ought to be avoided
if possible and, that the matter can be
settled by arbitration if the proper
course is pursued.
Mr. Gompers approves of the action
of President Roosevelt in empowering
the Interstate Commerce Commission
to make investigation of the matter in
railway circles.
On tha other hand, Harriman and
President Smith, of the L.. & N. Rail
way, and other big railway owners, say
President Roosevelt's action "will do
harm, as anything tending to stir up
strife and animosity must be harm
fal."
Harriman added, that wnat was
wanted now was tj get men baek to
work and it is a matter which should
be left entirely to employer and em
ployees.

Mount Olive Tribune.
While it is yet quite early to "talk
polities," as the popular expression
goes, and to speculate as to probable
candidates for the various State and
County offices to be nominated and
elected this year, rumors are begin
ning to float and the names of some
of our prominent citizens are being
mentioned as possible candidates be
fore the Wayne County Democratic
Convention.
Learning that strong pressure was
being brought to bear upon our worthy
townsman, Ex-Senator D. J. Aaron
to allow his name to go before the Con
vention this year as a candidate for the
State Senate, the Tribune reporter call-
ei on Mr. Aaron this week and learn
ed that there was some truth in the re
port.
"While I am not as yet an avowed
candidate for the office," said Mr
Aaron, "certain prominent and influ
ential men of the County have request
ed me to allow my name to go before
the County Convention, and if I find
that the people of Wayne county de
sire me to again serve them in the
capacity of State Senator I shall not
refuse the honor."
"My public record," continued Mr
Aaron, is well known to the people
of the County, While in the Senate
I eudeavored to serve my people ear
nestly and intelligently, with an eye
single to the welfare of all good inter
ests, morally and commercially, with
out doing violence to my own consei
enco or to any cause that appeared to
me to be right and meritorious."
Senator Aaron was first elected to
the tipper house of the General Assem
bly eight years ago. At that time he
never expressed himself as desiring to
be a candidate for the office and never
attended a convention, but was nomi
nated by acclamation the first time as
he was also for his second term. In
the Senate he was called on to serve on
the Finance Committee, Committee on
Appropriations, State Insane and
Penal Institutions, Engrossed Bills,
Chairman one term of the Claims
Committee, member of the Good Roads'
Committee, and chairman of the Com
mittee on Justice of the Peace.

Young Woman Found in Awful Con

of Sores from Scratching Tried
Many Remedies for Seven Weeks
Resuit Was Discouraging, But
ITCHING TORTURES
YIELDED TO CUTICURA
.
"While I was doing missionary work
in the lower portion of several cities I
found it necessary to know a little or
the efficacy of a few medicines and
after a while I found that a little knowl
edge of Cuticura was about all I needed.
One of the very bad cases I had to deal
with was that of a young woman who
had come to us not only broken in
Bpirit but in a most awful condition
physically. Our doctor examined her
and told us that she had scabies (the
itch), incipient paresis, rheumatism, -etc.,
brought on from exposure and the
effects of her ragged-edged life. Her
poor body was a mass of sores from
scratehing and she was not able to
retain solid food. We tried many things,
a good tonic wa3 prescribed and baths
with a rubbing of lard and sulphur. We
worked hard for seven weeks and you
can imagine how discouraged we were
when, after all that time, we could see
bo little improvement. One day I hap
pened to see a Cuticura advertisement
telling how a little baby had been,
cured of a bad case of skin eruption,
and although I had but ninety-seven
cents with me, I bought a cake of Cuti
cura Soap and a bottle of Cuticura
Resolvent. When I reached home I
was like a child with a new toy, and we
bathed our patient well and gave her a
full dose of the Resolvent. She elepft
that night better than she had since
ehe had been with us and the next day
I located the price of a box of Cuticura
Ointment. I am not exaggerating
when I say that in exactly five weeks
this young woman was able to look for
a position, being strong enough to work
and full of ambition. In another
month she left the home, and now haa
a good position in a nice family where
she is respected and is strong and well.
