UEOE SURPRISED OY DEMOCRACY OF PRESIDENT TAFT He Walked to Church Yesterday When the Congregation Expected Him to Arrive in a Big Motor Car. GUARDED BY SLEUTHS . WHO WORE SILK HATS The Storers Called at the White House Sunday for the First Time Since the Quarrel With Roosevelt.

"Washington, March 8. President Taft bad a sunny spring day for his first Sunday at the White House. He discarded the big gasoline automobile he used during the recent rough weather, and walked to and from church, and later about the city In the afternoon. His appearance on foot at the All Souls Church, caused surprise among: the crowd, who were expecting him to arrive in the motor, and in his walk about the city' he was trailed by a number of persistent sightseers. Charles P. V Taft of Cincinnati, , was his companion - during . the day, and went to church with him. Mrs. Taft 414 not appear. Following the custom of President Roosevelt, President Taft left church directly upon the conclusion of the sermonwhich Dr. Ulysses Grant Pierce preached from this text in the third chapter of Exodus: "Put off thy shoes from thy feet, for the ground upon which thou standest Is hold ground." No Personal Sermons. There was no personal reference to the, distinguished member of the congregation. Dr. Pierce said later: "I do not believe in preaching personal sermons, and no reference to the president or any other member of my .congregation will appear in my discourses." Speaking of his and President Taft's religious views, Dr. Pierce said that he had been greatly annoyed during the late camoalfcn by beine called upon to explain the simplest tenets of Unitarianism.. '.'... f "President Taft," he continued, "is sot the first member of our church to be chief executive of the United States. Both the Adamses, Thomas Jefferson and Millard Fillmore were Unitarians, and Mr, Fillmore was a mmmnilnnt of thin rhnrrh ' whlfh was established in 1824. Mr. Taft's father was among the other prominent members of All Souls' congregation." h , ; visited by the Storers, Mr. and Mrs. Bellamy Storer, of Cincinnati, called at the White House last -evening and had tea. This is the first time they have been there since the controversy with President Roosvelt over making Archbishop Ireland a Cardinal, which resulted in Mr. Storer's recall as ambassador to Italy. With the cabinet selected and sworn in, Washington awaits with great Interest the developments of the next few days, which are expected to determine the personalities who will control the more intimate workings of the executive circle and the. establishment of the new social regime. No president has begun his administration with less private acquaintance with his cabinet than Mr. Taft. There is no member of the cabinet, whom Mr. Taft has ever called by his first name, no member of it from his state, and. perhaps not more than one or two members with whom his acquaintance is of more than a few years' standing.. Having (selected his official advisory body more - with a view to their reputations for fitness and - political expediency than from his personal intimacy: with them, Washington naturally attaches an. added value to those other men not of the cabinet,' whom the president will gather about him. Cannibalism. "We digest turkey easily, . said a physician, "because the flesh resembles our own. A turkey eats grain, meat, ' flea, pretty - much everything tasty. We do the same, and hence human flesh and turkey flesh are a good deal alike. Fish digest fish best. Carnivorous animals, if fed on the flesh of carnivores, keep in the best condition. When a snake goes off its feed the trainer soon brings It around with a meal or two of snake -meat. These and similar facts have been proved strikingly by Emil Fisher, the Berttn chemist. The most digestible and the- most economical food, Fisher's experiments show. Is that -which Is more like the feet-. The most Indigestible, costly and least nourishing food is that which is most unlike the feeder. Cannibalism, In other words. Is the most reasonable food law." ttew York World. Unexplored Asia. David George : Hogarth, the geographer and explorer, said that In western Asia there are vast areas on which no European foot Is known to have tnl nor even any European eye to Lave looked.

GOES TO JOIIOM Owen Kuhn Leaves Palladium Force to Accept an Excellent Position.

HE MADE A FINE RECORD O. Owen Kuhn has resigned his poiition as news editor of the Palladium to accept the telegraph editorship on the Oklahoman, of Oklahoma City, the leading ' paper in the southwestern state. The position is regarded as a most excellent opportunity ' and Mr. Kuhn's friends are congratulating him on the chance to go to the wild and prosperous new state. Since the first of the year Mr. Kuhn has been on the staff of the Indianapolis News, In the state legislature. He was assigned to the senate, which was the most important branch from a news point of view, In the last session, and made good. Mr. Kuhn had several opportunities offered to him while he was in Indianapolis, but decided at the end of the , work there that he would like to look over the field in the West. The new position is an excellent one from a newspaper standpoint, and his friends In the local newspaper field are not surprised that he should avail himself of the opportunity. Mr. Kuhn's many friends in the newspaper world are sorry to lose so enterprising a young newspaper man, even though he goes to a position which is a big promotion. He leaves a wide circle of friends in the city's social and business world, all of whom wish him good luck in his new venture. WEST SIDE WILL HAVE HEW CHURCH Whitewater Quarterly Meeting Authorizes New Friends' Meeting TO START THE WORK SOON THIS NEW MEETING WILL TAKE ABOUT ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTY MEMBERS FROM TWO OLDER CONGREGATIONS. Within a short time, a meeting of the West Richmond Friends will be held to decide on tentative plans for the new church, to be constructed in West Ridhmond. Permission to this effect was granted- by Whitewater Quarterly conference last Saturday. The west side Friends met with little opposition in securing such authority. They will remain a branch of the Whitewater Quarterly conference 'and the friendly relations between the west side members and their old churches. East Main Street Friends and South Eighth Street Friends will continue as heretofore. To Hold House Meetings. It is probable that for the present the new congregation will meet regularly at the different residences of its members on the west side each Sunday. However just as soon as the committee in charge and members can agree en plans, location, etc., the work will be commenced. No meeting has been held yet by the members to settle the Question as how, much will be spent on the construction of the building but the new building will be amply large to. accommodate the present and future needs of the congregation. The membership will start with about 150 persons who were members of the other two Friends churches. The congregation will no doubt be increased by a large number of students from Earlham college. - POLICE LOOK FOR FAKESOLICITOnS Claim They Represent a Local Newspaper. The police were put on the trail today of two alleged solicitors for The Evening Item. The men visited a number of residences in the north part of the city and represented they are connected with The Item. They sought to secure photographs to be enlarged. The police say the men are Impostors and have no -"connection with the Item, their scheme being a pure fake. PROMINENT MMI SHOT AS THIEF Body Found Lying in a Doorway. Chicago, March 8.

THOUGHT THAT HO APPROPRIATIONS BILLPOSSIBLE Up to Noon It Appeared on the Surface That the Two Houses Would Be Unable to Get Together.

MARSHALL WAS ANGRY AT THE SOLONS TODAY States That He Will Have a State House Custodian If He Has to Call Out Platoon Of Militia. , Palladium Bureau, Indianapolis, March 8. When the senate and house adjourned at noon today there was nothing now in the situation regarding the appropriation bill. It is generally believed that no bill will be passed because the two -parties cannot get together. Governor Marshall said at noon he did not expect tho 'legislature to pass an appropria tion bill. Republican members of the conference committee made a report, telling of the disagreement and throwing blame on the democrats whom they charged with playing polltics In order to grab some obs. Got. Marshal was about ready to veto the bill to allow city officers to succeed themselves when several members heard of it and went to see him. Governor Has His Way. - He pointed out that the bill would repeal the bill already signed, giving Indianapolis nine councilmcn instead of twenty one. Ihe committee ,told him that fourth class cities needed the relief granted in some sections of the bill. The governor responded that he would not sign the bill unless it excepted cities of the first, second and third classes, and the committee started out to have the bill amended to suit this condition. If amended thus and signed the bill will allow city officers only in cities of fourth class to succeed themselves. The members of the , house presented Speaker Honan with a diampnd ring. Governor Marshall has signed the Wood school book bill permitting the state board of education to pay $6 Instead of $5.85 for series of books. Marshall Wrathful. Governor -Marshall had fire in his eye this morning when he said, "I shall appoint a custodian of the state house and he will be a man big enough to come in and take possession of the job. And we will have a platoon of the national guard come in with him if necessary. We shall see if the governor cannot make the appointments the law gives him to make." Governor Marshall was referring to the break of the conference committee on the appropriations bill over, the question as to whether the custodian shall be appointed by the governor or by the board of governors, auditor . and secretary of state. The governor spoke very earnestly. He denounces the proposition to use the sinking fund to pay the appropriations as an effort to fool the people by collecting tax for .one purpose and using it for another purpose. He says that unless the sinking fund is used to pay the appropriations they must be reduced $505,412 below what they . were when the bill passed the senate. The republican legislators say they will stand pat on the bill in spite of the governor: Fairbanks Speaks. ' They favor using the sinking fund money for the Current expenses. It is possible that another conference committee will be appointed by the two houses.' " l;-.--, Ex-President Charles W. Fairbanks speaks before a joint session at two o'clock this afternoon.' Gary to Entertain. Senator Bowser received word today, from Homer J. Carr of Gary that Gary will entertain both houses of the legislature with a banquet at the Gary hotel next Thursday night. Gary is preparing for 700 guests. The affair will cost $5,000. Mr. Carr says Gary will work during the next two years for its court bill. Many members of the legislature say they will go to Gary for the banquet. In a Quandary. All was quiet in the Bleeping car save that an occasional snore from some blissfully unconscious tourist who was slumbering at the rate of forty miles an hour mingled unobtrusively with the rumble of the train. The last passenger had retired to rest. The porter tiptoed through the car, listened a moment and extinguished the lights. On sped the train. An hour vanished Into the past. Suddenly a . load, querulous voice, eeeming to come from a lower berth near the middle of the car, broke the silence. 'Maria," snarled the owner of the voice, "these pajammys don't feel right How do you put the blamed things on? : Do you wear the coat outside, or do you tuck It In the peats'?" Chicago Tribune.

Mrs. Trask will be buried In Earlham cemetery, the burial taking place Wednesday afternoon. . The services will probably be held at the residence or E. G. Hibbard. after the arrival of the body, Wednesday afternoon. Rudolph G. Leeds of this city is a distant relative. Mrs. Trask is well known in this city having visited here on several occasions. She was the adopted daughter of the late Judge and Mrs. William A. Bickle of ; this city. ' She is survived by her husband Nathaniel W. Trask and one daughter. Miss Nattalie Trask. ' INTERCHANGE OF FREIGHT SHORTLY Panhandle Officials State that This Will Be Done Within a Month SHIPPERS ARE DELIGHTED CREDIT FOR PHYSICAL CONNECTION OF THE PENNSYLVANIA AND THE C., C. A L. GIVEN TO COMMERCIAL CLUB. It is expected that the actual interchange of freight cars over the routes of the P., C, C. & St. L., and C, C. & Im railroads will begin in about thirty days. The state railway commission has been notified that - the work of building, the switch and necessary track Is in progress. . At this time the switch has extended to within a few geet of the C, C. & L track, just north of D on North Third street -,. Sllfer Was Silent. "Why, I don't know a thing about it," replied C. D. Sllfer, - when asked this morning when the two roads would begin to exchange cars. Mr. Sllfer is the local freight agent for the Pennsylvania lines. Moro satisfactory information was gained from Inquiry at the C, C. A L. freight house. Ever since the work was begun, the Penneylvania officials have seen fit to treat the matter with a certain degree of secrecy. Inquiry at any office, where it might be expected Information could be gained, usually was offset by an evasivo answer. - Local shippers will rejoice greatly when matters progress so far that a shipment consigned to one line can be transferred to the other. The question of rates and schedules has not been determined. It is believed very likely that the cost of transfer will simply bo added to the cost for ship ment ,so that when a rate is given it includes the cost of transfer. The new switching facilities will prove a great benefit to local manufacturers. . v Credit to the Club. Credit must.be given the Commer cial club for making the Pennsylvania come to terms. The rules of the state railway commission demand interchange, but the Pennsylvania refused to acknwlcdge these rules. Suit was brought to force it and the Commercial club followed the case through when appeal after appeal was taken. The railway commission and the club's petition were upheld by the supreme court. The commission's order provided for a fine in caso of non-compliance and if this be- attached the Pennsylvania will have to forfeit several thousand dollars. Would Bar the Judiciary.' Young ministers '. ; sometimes say some very Irreverent things when first they get in harness, but seldom are so broadly condemnatory as the young clergyman who was called upon to act as chaplain at the opening of a recent term of court In Maine.

MUST CONSERVE WATER SUPPLY DR. HURTY SAYS In Accepting Invitation to Speak Here He Points Out Richmond's Supply Is Not Inexhaustible. .

IT IS CERTAIN TO GIVE OUT IN TIME HE SAYS Secretary of State Board of Health Will Speak Before Commercial Club Members On March 22nd. One of the most Interesting speakers connected with any of the various departments of the state government has consented to deliver a public address In this city upon the invitation of the Commercial club. He is Dr. J. N. Hurty, secretary of the state board of health. He will speak on the subject The Future Water Supply of Indiana." Dr. Hurty is not unknown to local au diences. He spoke here at the Chau tauqua last year and made a very fa vorable impression. In his letter accepting the Invitation to make the address, Dr. Hurty wrote: What Hurty Thinks. "I am very glad, indeed, to accept your invitation and will be on hand the evening of March 22nd, to address the Richmond Commercial club, upon the subject of "The Future Water Supply of Indiana." - f "This is a subject of more importance than the general business man will at present conceive. You have an abundant supply of water at Richmond, but It is easy to predict that you will not always have this supply. It is certain to give out in time. The idea that unlimited quantities of water are stored in the earth, and are con tinually being 'added to, is an error. Careful investigation with labratory studies and measurements, show that the waters In the earth have been stored up there in the earth for centu ries, just the same as the gas and oil. There Is a slow making of gas and oil and there is also a slow addition to the waters, but the supply is nothing like the demand. "It is certainly true that the business men should know this fact, and begin to look out for the future. It is all very well to exhaust the gas and the oil, but when it comes to exhausting the water, that is another matter." Where Vest Leek.
