President Roosevelt and party arrived here this morning and were taken in carriages to St. Mary's park, where Mayor George Parsons introduced Governor Deneen of Illinois, who in turn introduced the president. The president spoke for about an hour after which the party returned to the boats and left for Memphis. The city is a mas3 of flags and decorations and many thousands of visitors weie present. In the first portion of his addres3 President Roosevelt spoke more particularly on subjects of local interest to residents of Illinois, Kentucky and Missouri, pointing out the wonderful progress that has been made in these great states, and then speaking of the value of proper personal conduct. After this he took up the foreign policy and advocated a great navy as a means to permament peace and still later he discussed the 'domestic policy, emphasizing the importance of national supervision of certain interest that Involve tho welfare of th republic.

BORAH ACQUITTED; A Jury l ook But One Ballot in the Case Against United States Senator. CHARGE WAS CONSPIRACY. NO ARGUMENT WAS SUBMITTED ON THE PART OF THE DEFENSE AND THE JURY WAS QUICK IN A VERDICT. Boise, Idaho, Oct. 3. United States Senator William E. Bcrah last night was acquitted of the charge of conspiracy to defraud the government out of valuable Idaho timber lands. The case was submitted without argument on the part of the defense and the jury was out just long enough to take one ballot. The verdict was greeted by cheers and applause which the court officers made no effort to restrain. This demonstration in the court room served as a beginning, as s,oon as the news reached the outside, bells were rung and the fire department made a spectacular run through the principal streets, stopping eventually at the Idaho Hotel, where Senator Borah, surrounded by several hundreds of his fellow citizens, was found. A brass band appeared and as the senator reached the hotel steps played "Hail to the Chief." The street about the hotel was blocked by a cheering throng, where shouts mingled with the strain of the fire engine whistles and clangs of trolley car bells. Senator Borah thanked his hearers for their demonstration and the confidence they had reposed in him throughout the trial. SENT TO NEW ALBANY, IND. East Germantown, Ind., Oct. 2. jjJFrank O.

DEMONSTRATION

ACTION OF THE OR

THODOX FRIENDS IS II Naming of Delegates to the Hicksite Meeting, Indicating Increased Liberality, Has Attracted Attention, WERE HICKSITES VICTIM OF AN ARBITRARY ACTION. They View Cause of Separa tion From This Standpoint Urged That Orthodox Ones Contended With Spirit. Recent discussion in the Indiana Yearly meeting of Friends, in this city as a result of which delegates were chosen to the Hicksite conference to be held at Winona, next year, has attracted wide attention. Commenting on it editorially, the Indianapolis Star says: To the other orthodox churches that are still unable to bridge over the differences between "North" and "South" the Indiana Yearly meeting of Friends has set a striking example by naming official delegates to the Hicksite conference at Winona, in acceptance of an invitation from the Hicksite Friends. While this does not necessarily imply even an ultimate reunion of the two bodies, it is the opening of fraternal relations that may easily lead to that, and it is in notable contrast with the bitterness of feeling that existed at the time of the Hicksite separation. The cause of that separation would have produced a separation in any other church without much ceremony. About 1827 Elias Hicks, a New York Friend, began preaching doctrines that naturally seemed to the orthodox to border on unbelief. He wras an eloquent preacher, and possibly some of his expressions were extravagant, but he plainly accepted the Unitarian doctrine that there is no scriptural basis for the doctrine of the Trinity and the Godhead of Christ; and with this, naturally, went rejection of the atonement and of jutsification by imputed righteousness. The prompt exclusion of anybody teaching such doctrine in an orthodox church with a creed, or articles of faith, would have been a mere matter of course. But the Friends church has no definite creed, and its nearest approach to one the guidance of the spirit favors extreme latitude of opinion. For if the preacher speaks under the direct inspiration of the spirit if we accept the promise that "the Holy Ghost shall teach you in the same hour what ye ought to say" it is obvious that unless the preacher is in error as to his inspiration those who object to his ideas are contending with the Spirit. And it is a fact that such teaching was tolerated among the Friends long before the time of Hicks, for William Penn maintained these same doctrines, and George Whitehead was not far from them. Hence the Hicksites have always maintained that the separation was due to an abitrary exercise of authority by those, who dissented from their views. The division did not reach to England and was greatly regretted by the Friends there, as indeed it has always been by a considerable number of Friends in this country. And it seemed to have opened the way for further division, for it was followed some twenty years later by the Gurney and Wilbur controversy, which separated the church into the progressive branch, which outnumbers the Hicksites more than four to one. The Philadelphia Yearly meeting has declined to affiliate with any faction and continues to flock by itself, with a membership of some 4.500. The Progressives have generally accepted the theory that adherence to fixed forms of clothing, rejection of music and revival methods, etc., were in reality the adoption of fashions instead of the rejection of them, and their forms of worship now conform very nearly to those of other orthodox churches. BOWMAN FOB CHAIRMAN Believed He Will Be Choice of The Republicans. Hagerstown, Ind., 'Oct 3 It is now regarded certain that the two factions in the Republican party in Wayne county will agree on L.

In addition, the campaign for the winter will be planned. A full attendance of members is desired, as this will be an important meeting. LOYHD TO BE TAKES TO HIS E He Cannot Be Cared for at the County Infirmary as He Is a Non-resident. HE IS NOW RECOVERING. BELIEVED THAT HE WILL REGAIN BOTH MENTAL AND PHYSICAL HEALTH ASSOCIATED CHARI TIES HELP. In all probability David Loynd, now being cared for at the city jail by the Reid Memorial hospital authorities, will be removed to his home, 313'a South Fifth street. Township Trustee Charles Potter states that Loynd can not be cared for at the county infirmary as he is not a resident of this township. Loynd is an evangelist and a native of England, having been in this country only since last March. Since arriving in the United States he has traveled from place to place doing evangelistic work. He has been accompanied on his travels by his wife and his sister-in-law. Both of these women are now living on South Fifth street. Mrs. Elizabeth Candler, city missionary, states that in her opinion Loynd is not insane. When he was taken ill recently, he became delirious and was removed to the hospital. Since being placed in the city jail he appears to be rapidly recovering his mentality and has caused not the slightest trouble. Mrs. Candler recommends that Loynd be removed to his home, where his family will now be able to care for him. She thinks that his mental and physical recovery will be rapid. The Associated charities have been providing Loynd with his meals since being confined in the city jail. Mrs. Candler states that Mrs. Loynd will not accept charity and that she and her sister will be able to care for the afflicted man. CHAUTAUQUA BUSINESS WILL BEJLOSED UP Meeting to Be Held at Commercial Club Rooms. HAWKINS SPRINGS PROJECT Practically all business of the present Chautauqua year will be closed I tonight when the directors meet in the Commercial club rooms. In addij tion to the regular business to be J transacted, the proposition to convert the Hawkins Springs addition into a permanent Chautauqua site will be j taken up for discussion. The whole I proposition is now lying dormant awaiting the guiding hand of some leader. The men, as a body, who have pushed the proposition in past months have as yet heard nothing from the interufban companies in regard to their willingness to build a spur to the proposed site. The dormancy of the entire question is also attributed to this feature. Men desiring the permanent site realize that rapid steps will have to be taken if the 1908 Chautauqua meets in its new home. Guarantors of the Richmond Chautauqua will assemble soon and elect directors for the ensuing year. This meeting is customarily held in January but this year it was thought best to hold it earlier. GOES TO NEW YORK ON BUSINESS Ned Hiatt, consulting engineer for The Nevada Prospecting & Development Co., has left for Cincinnati where he will join C. D. Van Duzen, the president, and go to New York and other eastern cities in the interests of the company for ten days. He probably will return here before going back to Nevada,

RECEPTION MOST CORDIAL THE MOST ELABORATE CEREMONIES WERE OBSERVED IN ENTERTAINMENT OF THE SEC RETARY AND PARTY. Tokio, Oct. 3 William H. Taft, American secretary of war, officially bade farewell to Japan last evening and left the brilliantly decorated Shimbashi Railroad station for Kobe amid the firing of an artillery salute and a great display of fireworks. Officials of the Government, including the heads of the War and Navy De partments, the staff of the American Embassy and the municipal officers of Tokio, assembled on the platform to extend their best wishes for the health and success of the secretary during his tour. At noon Wednesday, Mr. and Mrs. Taft, accompanied only by Brig. Gen. Edwards, chief of the Bureau of Insular Affairs, and Frederipk W. Carpenter, Mr. Taft's private secretary, drove in an imperial carriage, escorted by a troop of cavalry, to the Emperor's palace with all the ceremony surrounding a royal reception. Entering the audience room, accompanied by Gen. Edwards, Mr. Taft was greeted pleasantly by his Majesty, who invited the secretary to accompany him to an adjoining room, where they conferred in private, with the aid of an interpreter for ten minutes. While the private audience was in progress, Mrs. Taft was received by the EmpYess. Both their majesties showed great cordiality in their reception of the American visitors. Conference Is Secret. While no official statement of what transpijed at the private audience was given out it is understood that the Emperor expressed his friendliness for America and his admiration of President Roosevelt, and that Mr. Taft assured him that these sentiments were reciprocated by the people of the United States. After the audience Mr. and Mrs. Taft called on the crown prince, Yoshihito Harunomiya, and upon Prince Fushimi, the Emperor's cousin, who visited the United States in 1904, and then returned to the palace. On their arrival there Mr. and Mrs. Taft were ushered into the banquet room where a luncheon was served, the Emperor and Empress sitting on one side and beside the table, with Mr. and Mrs. Taft opposite them. Escorted by Cavalry.

Gen. Torachi and by Count Hayashl and other officials of the Government, Mr. and Mrs. Taft will spend part of tomorrow at Kyoto, visiting the temples and tombs there and will continue their journey to Kobe the same afternoon.

I am confident that both countries will continue to be as friendly as they have in the past and not afford occasion for misrepresentation by anybody."

REQUEST FOR TOLL

REPORT PROVOKED Closing Session of the Grand Lodge, Knights of Pythias, Featured by an Incident of Local Interest. - CONSTRUCTION OF NEW TEMPLE IN QUESTION, Resolution From Coeur de Lion Lodge, Richmond, Defended by Dr. J. M. Wampler Shiveley Opposed. . At the closing session of the Grand Lodge, K. of P.. at Indianapolis, Wednesday, a matter of much local inter est came up and reports have it that the discussion that followed was of a heated nature. An Itemized report was called for from the building commission, which has charge of the new Pythian building. The expected fight to have this commission turn the building over to the trustees did not develop any strength, it being generally felt that the commission was better prepared, for the present, at least, to care for the building than the board of trustees would be. The resolution from Coeur de Lion lodge No. 8, of this city, asking for a specific and full report on the construction of the Pythian building at Indianapolis brought forth a very spirited discussion headed by Chas. E. Shiveley and a majority of the building commission opposing the resolution and defended by Judge R. N. Irwin, of Decatur and Dr. J. M. Wampler of this city. The point of difference between these factions seemed to hinge on the publishing of all contracts, specifications and bids, whereby all the facts may be known to tho members. Below is the substance of the resolution which was defeated, but a committee wa3 authorized to be appointed to audit the accounts of the commission and give full report on their acts at the next grand lodge session: BE IT RESOLVED by the Grand Lodge Knights of Pythias of the Grand Domain of Indiana, in session assembled. October 1st, 1907, that the Indiana Pythian Building Commission, appointed by the Grand Lodge to build and erect the Indiana Pythian building at Indianapolis, Indiana, be and is hereby requested and directed to prepare, publish and circulate among the members of the order In the state of Indiana, through the subordinate lodges of this Grand Domain, within three months from this date, a report to the Grand Ledge to be submitter to it at the next annual meeting, containing a full, detailed and specific statement end report of all bids submitted, and the contracts made in connection with the financing, erection and equipment of said Pythian building, and of all expenditures and disbursements of whatsoever character made in the erection and equipment of the said Pythian building, to the end that all the facts in connection with the construction of said building and the various specific Items of expense therefor, may be thoroughly known to the members of the order in the said Grand Domain. . BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that ten thousand copies of the above report be printed and circulated among the lodges of this Grand Domain In proportion to their numerical memberth! p. Michael Kelly of Richmond was named on the credentials committee by Frank Gass, the new grand chancellor. A past supreme chancellor's Jewel was presented to Charles E. Shiveley, of Richmond, Ind., recently retired from the highest office in the order. Speeches were made by Union B. Hunt on behalf of the Indiana Grand Lodge and H. P. Brown, of Texas, oa behalf of the Supreme Lodge. LOCAL COMMITTEE IS Bakers' Association Meets Here October 16. COMMERCIAL CLUB ROOMS.
