SIIIIIS "SWAN SONG''

PRESIDENT TAFT'S SPEECH IN NEW YORK TEEMS WITH IRONY AND HUMOR. OFFERS A TOAST TO WILSON Declares Cabinet Members Should Sit in Congress Suggests Chloroform at Retirement That Method Easier Than Colonel Bryan's. New York, Nov. 18. President Taft sang his "swan song" as chief executive of the nation when as the guest of the Lotus club, the president responded to the toast, "The President' In a speech which many of his hearers considered the most remarkable he has ever made. The president earnestly advocated the admission to the halls of congress of members of a president's cabinet, and declared a six-Sear term in the presidency was enough for any man. He advocated the placing under civil service of practically every officer in the government employ. He hinted broadly that congress should provide for ex-presidents so that they need not lower the dignity of tao position they have held when they enter into private life. Offers Toast to Wilson. His humorous references to the burdens of the White House, to his successor and to Mr. Bryan brought forth round after round of applause. The president closed his speech with a toast to his successor. "Health and success to the able, distinguished and patriotic gentleman who is to be" and he raised his glass while his hearers rose to their feet "the next president of the United States." Sings His "Swan Song." President Taft said in part: "1 saw in the name of your club the possibility for a swan song to those about to disappear. "You have given me the toast of 'The President.' It is said that the office of president is the most powerful in the world, but I am bound to say that what chiefly stores the president in the face in carrying out any plan of his, is the limitation upon the power and not its extent. "Of course there are happy individuals who are able entirely to ignore these limitations both in mind and practice, and as to them the result may be different. Urges Six-Year Term. "In these days of progress, reform, uplift and improvement, a man does not show himself abreast of the age unless he has some changes to suggest. It is contrary to my own love for the dear old Constitution to suggest any alteration in its terms, but I venture the suggestion that it would aid the efficiency of the executive and center his energy and attention upon disinterested public service if he were made ineligible, after serving one term of six years, either to a succeeding or a nonconsecutive term. "Four years is rather a short time in which to work out great governmental policies. Six years is better. Chloroform for Ex-Presidents. "What are we to do with our expresidents? I am not sure Dr. Osier's method of dealing with elderly men would not properly usefully apply to the treatment of ex-presidents. The proper and scientific administration of a dose of chloroform or of the fruit of the lotus tree might niake a fitting end to the life of one who had held the highest office, and at the same time would secure the country from the troublesome fear that the occupant could ever come back. "It would relieve the country from the burden of thinking how he is t to support himself and his family, would fix his place in history, and enable the public to pass on to new men and new measures. I commend this method for consideration. "1 observe that my friend Mr. Bryan proposes another method of disposing of our ex-presidents. Mr. Bryan has not had exactly the experience of being a president. He has been a 'near president' three times and possibly that qualified him as an expert to speak of what we ought to do with our ex-presidents. His Method Easier Than Bryan's. "He has been very vigorous in this campaign in helping to make me an ex-president, and if I have followed with accuracy his public declaration and his private opinions he is anxious to perform the office of making my successor an ex-president after one term. "As a Warwick and as a maker of ex-presidents, I think we should give great and respectful consideration to his suggestion. Instead of ending the presidential life by chloroform or lotus eating, he proposes that it should expire under the anaesthetic effect of the debates of the senate. "He proposes that ex-presidents should be confined to the business of sitting in the senate and listening to the discussions in that body. "Why Mr. Bryan should think it necessary to add to the discussion in the .senate the lucubrations of ex-presidents I am at a loss to say. If I must go and disappear into oblivion. I prefer to go by the chloroform or lotus method. It's pleasanter and it's less drawn out." Virginia Militia Called OutCharleston, W. Va., Nov. IS. Governor Glasscock declared martial law in both the Cabin Creek and Paint Creek sections of tho Kanawha coal fields as a result of recent strike disorders.

PARTY BURIED BY MINE CAVEIN FINALLY RESCUED Number of Sightseers and Guide Are Caught in Famous Horn Silver Property in Utah. Frisco, Utah, Nov. 16. After being entombed twenty hours in the famous Horn silver mine, a party of seven, including two girls, were rescued. The party went into the mine on a sight-seeing tour. There were in the party Daisy Alexander, nineteen; Hazel Alexander, sixteen; David Banks, Harold Robinson, James Riley, mine boss; John White, miner, and a Greek miner, name unknown. Shortly after the party had reached the 300-foot level, there came a great crash, and a terrific tearing sound. Riley instantly knew there was a big cave-in. He hustled his party to the uttermost end of the level workings. Their lights were extinguished and the dust choked them. The girls became greatly excited and were calmed with difficulty. The party remained away from the shaft, and by means of signaling on the compressor pipe with the "miner's code," they informed those at the surface that everybody was safe. Meanwhile the rescuers had been at work all night driving a little rescue tunnel. Only a few men could work at a time, and the earth slipped in almost as fast as it was taken out. Finally at 1:45 In the afternoon the party was reached and quickly brought to the surface, exhausted, but uninjured.

MARCH ON CAPITAL

BULGARIAN TROOPS ARE NOW WITHIN FEW MsLES OF CONSTANT1NOPE. CHOLERA AIDS THE ALLIES Five Hundred Cases of Dread Disease Are Reported Daily Among the Hard Pressed Moslems, and Total Is Said to Exceed 6,000. Constantinople, Turkey, Nov. 16. Bulgarian troops have reached the vicinity of Kilios, on the Black sea coast, at the entrance to the Bosphorus and within a few miles of the capital. The men belonging to the Turkish lifeboat station have left. Reports 6.000 Cholera CasesConstantinople, by way of Kustendje, Nov. 16. The cholera epidemic among the Turkish troops holding the line of fortifications at Tchatalja, in front of Constantinople, is rapidly becoming worse. More than 500 cases are reported daily and the total number already exceeds 6,000. Whatever hopes the Turks may have had of maintaining the line of defense at Tchatalja have been dissipated by this outbreak of cholera. An eyewitness declares that he saw 263 corpses buried in one big trench at Hademkeui, headquarters of the Turkish commander in chief, on Tuesday. The bodies were dragged to the spot on hooks and dropped into the trench, which was not nearly deep enough for the purpose, the covering of earth being shallow. It is said on good authority that cholera already has appeared among the Bulgarian troops. This would not be surprising, as they occupy the positions where the disease claimed its first Turkish victims. Bulgaria to Consult Allies. Sofia, Bulgaria, Nov. 16. The Turkish request for an armistice, addressed by Kiamil Pasha, the grand vizier, to King Ferdinand, was discussed by the Bulgarian council of ministers. It was decided to reply that the Bulgarian government would inform the other nations of the Balkan alliance of the step taken by Turkey and would give its answer as soon as possible after coming to an agreement with them. After the allies have consulted, it is believed, the negotiations for an armistice will be carried on by the commanding generals of the opposing armies purely from a military point of view. The negotiations can begin only after the Turks have accepted the conditions laid down by the Bulgarians that meanwhile no further re-enforcements of Turkish troops may be brought into the field of operations. Surrender to Servian Cavalry. Belgrade, Servia, Nov. 16. Another Turkish force hoisted the white flag and surrendered to the Servian cavalry near Monastir. The Servians attacked the Ottoman troops at Debromira, about five miles northeast of Monastir, and in spite of a galling fire succeeded in dislodging the Turkish advance posts from their strongly intrenched positions. The Turks retreated and were pursued as far as the village of Morabi, close to Monastir, by the Servians, who surrounded them there and poured in such a heavy fire that the Turkish officer in command decided it was useless to continue fighting and ordered his men to throw down their arms. The advance of the Servian army has been temporarily stopped by floods. Adrianople a Roaring Inferno. London, England, Nov. 16. Bennett Burleigh in a dispatch from Mustapha Pasha to the Daily Telegraph describes the fighting around Adrianople. He says: "Port Arthur produced no grander or more terrible effects than Sunday night's furious bombardment. Hundreds of shells burst at the same instant over and around Adrianoole. Guns of all sizes and kinds made a naming, roaring inferno, which must have reverberated for miles along the Balkan mountains and rocked and rattled the houses in distant Mustapha Pasha. The Turks attempted to reply, but were soon overpowered by the tremendous strength, energy and accuracy of the besiegers' artillery." Mr. Burleigh describes the storming of the forts on the north and east the same night. He says: "The Bulgarian storming battalions first attended divine worship. Then they stripped off and piled their superfluous coats and baggage in the trenches. The Turks precipitated matters by attempting to sally, little knowing what was In store for them. There was a tornado of artillery and rifle fire on both sides; then the Bul garians ran in with bayonet. There was wild and terrible work, with no wish to ask or give quarter. Such Turks as could fled, but they left an awful trail of dead and dying on the field. The battle continued for many hours in a heavy rainstorm." SEES RELIGION FOR PROFIT Christian Science Is Attacked In Superior Court by Son of the Late Mrs. Eddy. Concord. N. H.. Nov. 15.

LARRABEE DIES AT HOME IN IOWA For Sixty Years He Had Been a Large Factor in the Development of the Commonwealth. Clermont, la., Nov. IS. Former Gov. William Larrabee died at his home near here at the age of eighty. Since early in the spring the former governor had been a sufferer from rheumatism, and under the care of a nurse.

His wife, all the living children and grandchildren wrere at his deathbed. Funeral services were held this afternoon. Resident of Iowa for 60 years, Mr. Larrabee had been a large factor in the development of the state. He was born January 20, 1832, the son of a soldier of 1812, at Ledyard, Conn. The former governor got a common school education and had two months at a private academy, but his father gave him a good business education.

The most important legislation of his term was that of providing for railway regulation in Iowa, which remains practically unchanged. Mr. Larrabee married Anna M. Appleman in 1S61. They had seven childrenCharles, Augusta, Julia, Anna, William, Frederick and Helen. Wil liam, Jr., has just been elected to a third term in the Iowa house, and Frederick has been elected to a sec ond term in the state senate. BIG RIOT IN PARLIAMENT Winston Churchill Smashed In Face by Heavy Book Home Rule Wins Big Victory. London, Nov. 14. As the house of commons was peremptorily adjourned here after scenes of wild confusion following the attempt of Premier Asquith to rescind the vote taken last Monday on an amendment to the home rule bill by which the govern ment sustained a defeat, a boolk thrown by one of the opposition members struck Winston Churchill, first lord of the admiralty, full in the face. Mr. Churchill was slightly stunned, but otherwise unhurt, although the force of the blow left a spot on his cheek. It was. perhaps the stormiest session the house has ever known. From tne moment the premier made his motion to rescind the vote, the uproar continued almost uninterruptedly. Liberal speakers were shouted down by the Unionists; Premier Asquith was denounced as a traitor; the govern ment was declared to smell in the nostrils of financial London and several members were ordered from the house when the unparliamentary lan guage grew particularly violent.

SCOFFERS Often Make the Staunchest Converts, The man who scoffs at an Idea or doctrine which he does not fully understand has at least the courage to show where he stands. The gospel of Health has many conVerts who formerly laughed at tho idea that coffeo and tea, for example, ever hurt anyone. Upon looking into the matter seriously, often at the suggestion of a friend, such persons have found that Postum and a friend'a advice have been their salvation. "My sister was employed in an eastern city where she had to do calculating," writes an Okla. girl. "She suffered with headache until she waa almost unfitted for duty. "Pier landlady persuaded her to quit coffee and use Postum and in a few days she was entirely free from headache." (Tea Is just as injurious as. coffee because it contains caffeine, the same drug found in coffee.) "She told her employer about It. and on trying it, he had the same experience. "My father and I have both suffer d much from nervous headache sine- I can remember, but we scoffed at tjo idea advanced by my sister, that coffee was the cause of our trouble. "However, we finally quit coffee and began using Postum. Father has had but one headache now in four years, due to a severe cold, and I have lost my headaches and sour stomach, which I am now convinced, came from coffee. "A cup of good, hot Postum is satisfying to me when I do not care to eat a meal. Circumstances caused mo to locate in a new country and X feared I would not be able to got my favorite drink, Postum, but I was relieved to find that a full supply is kept here with a heavy demand for it" Name given by Postum Co..
