HAKTS AITOMOB1LK
TAKKN FROM THK BAY
San Francisco, Jan. 20 ? Howard
Hamilton Hart, the Klondlker who
ran his auto into Frisco bay, hop
ing to get rid of it, may see it again
today.
You may buy an automobile for
$4,500 and may oil it and hit it
with hatches to try to make it go.
And, finally, when the blamed thing
runs up a bill of thousands of dol
lars, you may push it into the bay.
That's what H. H. Hart, Oakland
millionaire, did two weeks ago ? or
rather, he gave his chauffeur per
mission to do It.
And James L.1U, the chauffeur, 1
took his master at his word and j
dropped the machine from the stern
of a ferry boat.
When Hart heard of his chauf
feur's act he called him to the canc
tum and says, "Well done, thou
good and faithful servant," Is re
ported to have shaken hands with
Litz and left a reminder of his
worthiness In the chauffeur's palm
Comes now Into the story one
Captain Thomas Patrick Henry
Whitelaw, veteran wrecker of San
Francisco. He went to Hart and
sought "keeps" If he could find
the machine and bring it back to
life
"Finder s keeper," answered Hart.
"And if you have the slightest de
sire to hunt trouble, go to It. The
thing will then be yours with my
sympathy." and Hart proceeded to
ruminate over catalogues of next
year's models In autos.
Yesterday a couple of little boats
with red flags flying at the helms
anchored In the bay over what was
presumed to be the watery grave of
Hart's bucking auto. They were
Whltelaw's boats sounding fourteen
fathoms for that bane to a million
aire's existence.
And they sounded all right. Two
divers came up with a piece of the
au'o as evidence of its discovery.
Powerful grappling hooks werOj
let down and up came that pester
ing auto like a cat coming back af
ter the shooting.
"The machine Is in good condi
tion except for a bit of mud," White
law said. "That will clean off nice
ly and then I will be ready to sell
the thing."

M WAKENED FROM
IIS OH OF PEACE
New York, Jan 20 ? President
Taft addressed the Hebrew society
of B'nal Brit Saturday night. His
talk was along line- of universal
peace. He said that he had a
dream prior to his entering the
presidency and the dream spoke to
him of universal peace, where men
agreed to arbitrate their differences
:> nd no longer bathe the world In
blood as a result of Jealousies and
ambitious rivalry. But after nego
tiating with France and England
and endeavoring to get those coun
tries lined up for th" pacification of
mankind, aud learnt lg what they
had to sav in the natter aud. the
attitude they held tow-art' disarm
ament, be woke up and hU dream
passed away.
Not until men learn Individually
to apply the frolden rule to those
around them will universal peace
come. As long as mankind Is ac
tuate by greed and ambition for
Rain just that long will wars last,
in the ultimate analysis It is selfish
ness and greed that causes war;
ther?- Is no such thing as a holy <>r J
just or righteous war. because w r
is a physical means of handling a
moral question, and therefore must
necessa-ily be wrong, according ?0
Mr. T*tl.
Constantinople, Jan. 20 ? Tho Ot
toman government hrs ordered a
convention of tl^ National Assem
bly to tako up a discussion of the
Balkan war situation The senti
ment among the Turks in the city
seems to be favorab'e to a con
tinuation of the stri'e, especially
lince it is known that a large num
ber of recruits have >een added to
the Turkish army during the past
few weeks.
Late Saturday afternoon the
Turkish battleship Kli ?yr-Din Bar
barossa and gunboat Aisar-I-Tewfik,
with several cruisers of the Bosp
orus fleet met a fleet of Greek
warsilps at the entrant to 'he
Dardanelles and engaged them ir a
sea tattle. For three hour* the
t attle raged with considerable losses
on either side, but und'T the rover
of durknoss the Turklsi fleet with
drew leaving the field In possession .
of tho Greeks. It is believed that
another naval battle is Imminent as
the Turks hav? u reserve squadron
which will probauly be added wl.en
the f:ghtlng is resumed.
