<te«t against the exclusion of women ‘from the right of franchise. Slipping into one of the booth* where perhaps a thousand ballots had been deposited, Mrs. Chapin drew from under her cloak a bottle in which ink had been mixed with corrosive acid, and before she could be stopped hurled the bottle onto the box.

TAFTS TOO FAST FOR SLOW BOATS

HlsVessel Runs Away From Congressmen on Mississippi SOME TRY RAILROAD COACHES "We Don’t Believe It,” Shout a Number of the Speaker’s Colleagues When "Uncle Joe" Cannon at a Dinner Says: "I Am Going Out of Con* great”—'The President Declares That the Trip Burely Will Force Some Legislation In Washington. Natchez, Oct. 29. —This city is ready to receive President Taft in southern style. Telegrams from Vicksburg say he left that city on schedule time and that hereafter his vessel will run according to itinerary whether the others do or not President Taft’s boat, the Oleander ran away from the others and part of the crowd tried investigating the Mississippi from the windows of a railroad train. The twenty-five governors and 177 congressmen were among those who deserted the fleet for seats in railway coaches. The whole trouble arose through the bungling of tne St. Louis Business Men’s league. It took the maximum speed of the fastest boat in the Tkft fleet and the maximum of the slowest, added them together, divided by two and accepted the result as au average speed for their running schedule. It never occurred to them that this average was greater than some of the old stern-wheelers could make. At a dinner aboard the steamboat Quincy at which the president and the speaker were guests, “Uncle Joe” Cannon said he favored bonds when necessary In war or in peace to keep the public faith, but If congress voted to satisfy every demand for bonds for highways, for reclamation and Irrigation projects, for the drainage of swtfrnp lands and for forest preservation, there soon would be another debt equal to that of the civil war, now nearly wiped out. "But I am going out of congress—some day,” said the speaker. “No, no,” shouted a number of his colleagues of the house. “We don’t believe it.” “Oh, yes, I am," he replied. “And when I do there will be plenty left for you boys, and there will be lots of business going on at the old place." In his speech the president said among other things: “I sincerely believe that we, all of us, If we do not go to the bottom, will derive a most useful lesson from this trip. We shall know when we get through the trip exactly how ‘Uncle Joe’ stands with reference to this business of improving the river even if we have to consult a few more remarks from St. Paul. “But I don’t think It makes very much difference what each individual thinks with reference to the improvement of the Mississippi river. I mean the details of that Improvement. Ibe lieve that the fact that this expedition has been entered upon has set the public attention so upon this subject that congress must take some actiou, and from the fact that congress must act it seems a result will be reached.”

EDITOR’S SOUR VIEW OF TAFT-DIAZ VISIT

He Contrasts Yankee Negligee With Mexican Elegance. Mexico City, Oct. 29.—The editor of one of the leading provincial newspapers attended the Taft-Diaz meeting and has published the following comment: "Remembering the excursion of the white squadron through all the seas, an excursion that cost millions of dollars and was solely an extravagance oi ostentation to acquaint the world with the wealth of the Yankee, I had hoped that the executive, Taft would bring to the frtmtier a regiment of, soldiers splendidly dressed, a good battery of artillery and a resplendent staff, but no, senor, there was indeed a sad contrast. “While our president went adorned in his grand uniform of a general made In Parlß at a cost of 25,00 francs. President Taft wore a suit that did not seem to be his own, due to Us looseness. His collar was wilted by perspiration and there was not the slightest impression of elegance. "How shalE this American negligee be Interpreted? Was it to make evi dent the freedom of the Yankee? Was It to contrast the simplicity of the opulent with the splendors of the p~or, or might It not have been to signify the little importance that they conceded to the ceremony?”

PRACTICE ON VANDERBILT COURSE.

car was overturned. Dingley escaped uninjured, but his mechanician, R. 3. Richards, was not so fortunate. Dingley’s car was plunging along the parkway at top speed when the approach of a car from the rear forced it over to the edge of the cement raceway. The rear right tire caught in the ditch and the car turned turtle. If his car is ready Dingley will drive for the cup. Nineteen cars started in the Vanderbilt last year. The fans this year are scanning the list of pilots as carefully as a race tout would the jockey board, and because of this belief the two who are being given the most consideration are Dingley and Louis Chevrolet. It is thought that George Robertson, last year’s winner, will not be in the race. Robertson is holding out for big money and may get a car at the last minute.
