LEADERS OF SOCIETY THE TWO PRINCIPALS Mr. Thorne Tried to Get President Away From Golf Links And His Action Was Resented by Mr. Collins. (By William Hotter.) Portland, Oreg., Oct. 2. Twenty thousand school children assembled on Multnomah field and extended an enthusiastic greeting to the President this morning. Five thousand children executed a fantastic maneuver, gradually evolving themselves into formation spelling "T-A-F-T." There is bitter war . between Senator Bourne and the local receptlqu cornlttee, the latter charging Bourne with having stolen the president from the local comImittee for a golf game this afternoon. There is a merry rivalry over the (president in the west Up to the end of his stay in Seattle I there was war. At the very last min ute Josiah Collins, chairman of the reception committee at Seattle and Chester Thorne of Tacoma, who, by the way, is a brother of Oakleigh ' Thorne, the well known financier of New York, almost came to blows at the Country club just outside of Seattie. Are 8ocial Pets. Mr. Collins is tho leader of Seattle's social set, and thi possession of the president during the past two days has meant something. At the same , time Chester Thorne Is not without some standing In his own community of Tacoma, and also owns the yacht Eh Primero, on which, the president was conveyed from Seattle to Tacoma, down Paget Sound. . The president was due to leave the Seattle Country club at 3:30 p. m., In order to board tho Thorne yacht at 4 p. m which would enable him to reach Tacoma at 6. but Mr. Collins held on. , He went around the links , after the president for the nine holes : that were indulged in before luncheon, and then, after dinner, another nine Wholes were suggested. Thorne got nervous and tried to get the president. I Collins protested and then came a row. It was sufficient that Collins is I a Seattle man and Thorne a Tacoma jman. But when the president of the United States was the issue, a fight was almost unavoidable. Tacoma Was Jealous. Thorne alleged that the Seattle man , was trying to rob Tacoma of its hon ors, and Collins insisted that there jwarft ,", honors that Tacoma possibly nii..i entitled to. Thorne made v "wiplimentary remarks and , ' .Tof it was that Collins who iUlete, said: "If you'll step around behind the club house I will show you that no Tacoma man can wMctate to me." -"" n- Thorne was willing but the sit4til?a was saved by a neutral friend who intervened. At length the president sed aside his golf stick and Seattle reluctantly let go of him. Wore a Golf Suit. ', Taf t arrived at the dock and boarded the yacht. He had a grey golf suit with yellow golf shoes, a silk hat and a grey sweater, the sleeves of which were hanging outside the sleeves of hjs black overcoat. But he was per fectly happy. The yacht got off sever al minutes later. A big crowd greeted the president in Tacoma, after waiting in the streets for an hour with rain falling to welcome him. His speech at the armory was a repetition of his address at the Seattle exposition, yesterday afternoon. WEISBRODT WINNER Henrv Welshrodt. rural rrrW v.1, won the silk flag in the rural route carrier's contest to show the greatest per cent of increase in business done by them during September, over the corresponding month of 1008. Thf? v percent of increase shown by Mr. Weishrodt was approximately TO per cent. .He is entitled to the flag for one 'month. GIVEN HIS DECREE The Rev. Levi T. Pennington, the inew pastor of the South Eighth Street Friends Meeting, is one of the yeungest Friends' ministers to receive his ,"J. D." Mr. Pennington, is a student at Earlham college and was presented .with his D. D. at the college yesterday noon. His "degree" came from the day student organization, who unanimously presented him with a D. D., when he was elected marshal of the "Day Dodger" organisation.

CURB-STONE JUSTICE.

(American News Service) Pawtucket, R. I., Oct. 2. Informed that a prisoner was outside in a carriage and was too drunk to appear in court. Judge Ambrose Choquet of the Eleventh district court moved the bar to the street, tried the defendant before the open carriage door and sentenced him to a year in jail. C. C. k L. IS HOT YET SOLD STATES JAS. P. Receiver for Straight Line Says That Such Action Can Not Be Taken Without Order of Court. BLAMES WALL STREET FOR STARTLING STORY Goodrich States That Speculators, Dealing in Road's Bonds, May Have Circulated News Reports. "You may stato once and for all time for me, that the C, C. & L. rail road will not be sold until Judge An derson of the federal court orders a sale. I do not know who is responsible for the story that the C, C. & L. road has been sold to the Hawley in terests, and made a part of the Clover Leaf system, unless a bunch of Wall street speculators have announced the sale." Goodrich 8hould Know. Such was a statement given out today by James P. Goodrich over the long distance telephone from his home at Winchester. Mr. Goodrich is in a position to know whether the road has been sold, as he is the receiver. It was pointed out to him that there must be some truth in the report of the Bale, as all of the large and reliable news services ''carried the story." Mr. Goodrich said, however, that the foundation for the story was probably based on Wall street operations. Hawley interests may be buying the bonds of the road and thus Mr. Goodrich accounted for the reports. TRACTIOli MERGER IS HOW REPORTED Attempt Being Made to Merge All Chicago Surface And "L" Lines. ROTHSCHILDS PROMOTERS TWO ENGLISH REPRESENTATIVES OF THE EUROPEAN MONEY KINGS ARE IN CHICAGO NOW, IT IS RUMORED. (American News Service) Chicago, Oct. 2. One of the greatest traction mergers ever attempted, by which it is expected to consolidate ail Chicago surface lines and include the proposed subway, is reported to be in contemplation by the Rothschilds, the world's greatest financial wizards. News that two English representatives of the European money kings had been In Chicago for several days looking over the traction situation and that they had sent favorable reports to the principals in Europe, has 6tirred Lasalle street and resulted in disclosing the gigantic scheme by which it is expected to unify the traction lines in th? underground, overhead and surface. Significant of their visit is the fact that Alderman Milton J. Foreman, chairman of the city council local I transportation committee, friend of th s traction corporations and attorney for the George W. Jackson company, which already has offered to build the subway, has been in Europe all summer. KICK ABOUT STREET The condition of North I street in the vicinity of the Pennsylvania freight depot, is again the occasion cf complaint from residents in that locality. The street is badly in need of repair, being full of large holes making it exceedingly disagreeable, especially in rainy weather. The heavy hauling on that thoroughfare is responsible for its present poor condition it is said. THE WEATHER. INDIANA Fair, Sunday, with light winds

GOODRICH

MISS SWAYIIE TO BE POSTER GIRL Of THE FESTIVAL

Well Known Society Young Woman Will Head the Monster Industrial Parade on Thursday Noon. FESTIVAL QUEEN TO HAVE MAIDS OF HONOR "Her Majesty" Will Be Living Representation of the Beautiful Poster by Mrs. Elmer Eggemeyer. Miss Juliet Swayne, well known in the younger society set. has accepted the invitation of the executive committee of the Fall Festival association to take the part of the poster girl in the industrial parade, Thursday noon, October 7. Miss Swayne will have as her maids of honor equally well known young women. Miss Marie Campbell, Miss Rose Gennett, Miss Mildred Gaar and Miss Josephine Cates. Miss Swavne and her maids of honor will head the parade proper, being just behind the bugle corps, on a specially prepared flont, the decorations of which will be elaborate. The idea of this float will be to reproduce the poster which was prepared by Mrs. Maude Kaufman Egsemeyer and adopted by the association. Every detail, even to the dress of Miss Swayne and background arrangement of the float will be as depicted in the poster. Soldiers in Parade. The executive committee is much pleased with the consent of Miss Swayne and her friends to serve. No one in the city could have carried out the part better than these well known young women. The two battaiions of the Tenth Regiment, stationed at Ft. Benjamin Harrison, Indianapolis, will probably be in the parade. According to word received today, these two sections of the regiment are expected in the city about Thursday noon. If the troops should arrive earlier, the officers In charge will be urged to camp for dinner mess west of the city and then participate in the parade. In addition to the two battalions of soldiers the executive committee would not be surprised if the regimental band and a number of men, who have obtained furloughs, will attend the festival. The preparations for the industrial parade will be finally decided upon at a special meeting of the industrial committee, Sunday afternoon. The general outline has been mapped out but such details as the placing of the different floats in the parade have yet to be completed. A letter will be sent to each merchant and manufacturer who will enter the parade, notifying him of the position which his float will take in the parade. With the elimination of grossly decorated coal wagons and gravel wagons, about which there is no general interest, the parade will not contain any exhibits which will be derogatory to its character. Floats Are Costly. The floats this year will be the finest ever prepared for parade purposes in this city. The merchants are not sparing expense or time. It is estimated that the floats will represent an outlay of $10,000 or more. The entries up to date are almost double the number in the parade last year. A large number of merchants are to be heard from yet. This morning, there were a large number of additional enteries made to those published yesterday. The executive committee at its meeting this evening will consider many important questions. Final reports will be made by a number of committees. IS PAIIIFULLY HURT AVhile unloading wire from a car at 'the Elliott and Reid fence factory this morning, Harry Gray caught his right leg between the wheels of the car in some manner and cut a deep gash to the bone, just below his knee. , The ambulance was called and the young man was removed to his home, i 157 Richmond avenue, where medical i attention was given him. It will be j several days before he will be able to ! resume his duties. FINDS BALLOON AD Fred Marktis. a farmer living near Kinsey Station. O., just north of Dayton, found one of the small gas balloons sent up by the festival association as advertising matter, while cutting corn. He was sent a poster and an urgent invitation to be present. This is the farthest away that any of the balloons have gone so fax ao the committee is awar

110 BRANDY USED III MINCE PIES Y. M. C. A. Secretary Firmly And Solidly Puts Foot Down on Matter. A BLOW TO SPA PATRONS STATED THAT MANY, WHILE WHITE RIBBONITES, DEARLY LOVE THEIR SPICED PASTRYMAY USE SWEET CIDER. The use of brandy in the well regulated Young Men's Christian Association, such as Richmond boasts of will not be tolerated, even in mince pies. "Mince pies served at the Spa will be made out of home made mince meat without the brandy," stated Geo. L. Goodwin, secretary of the associa tion, in putting his foot down on the prupuM won. No doubt the order will meet with disapproval among several patrons of the Spa who. while total abstainers in other respects do enjoy a spiced mince pie. The important question came up when it was announced that it w-as very nearly time for mince pies. The ! chefs of the associativa announced that they would begin making mince meat as soon as they could secure some sweet cider. The mince pies will include all the trimmings, with the exceptioa of brandy, and something, which will make them nearly as good as if it had been used, will probably be substituted.

Mass., to attend the inauguration exercises of President Lowell, of Harvard University, who succeeded President Eliot. ; The inauguration takes place on Oct. : 5-6-7, and great preparations have ' been made for the event.

Oil EDUCATIONAL WORK OF FRIENDS At Third Session of the Quak er Celebration, Earlham Executive Relates Influence Of Quakers. SUFFRAGE MOVEMENT IS GIVEN ATTENTION Mrs. Mary Morrisson Talks on ''Equal Responsibilities and Privileges for Women" Other Features. At the third days session of the cen tennial celebration of the Whitewater Monthly Meeting of Friends at the North A street meeting house papers were read by Dr. Robert L. Kellv. president of Earlham college and Mary F. Morrisson. Dr. Kelly spoke on the subject of tho "Influence of Quakerism on Education." and Mrs. Morrisson on woman's suffrage, her paper being on the "Equal Responsibilities and Privileges for Women." An Interesting part of the morning program was an original poem by William N. Trueblood. professor of English of Earlham collece. A bins-ranhl-cal sketch of Walter T. Carpenter was also read. President Kelly raid In part: THE INFLUENCE OF FRIENDS ON AMERICAN EDUCATION. (Paper by President Kelly.) It is no doubt expected that upon such an occasion as this, a sneaker upon any phase of Quaker progress will find himself In a mood to eulogise. During the hundred years that have passed since the founding of Whitewater Monthly Meeting, much progress has been made by Friends along educational lines. One good reason why this statement Is possible Is that they had a long way to go. One hundred years ago there was not a single Friends college In America nor la England. - For that matter there ts-not a single Friends college In England today and the society Is suffering for leaders on that account England, however, did have a few good secondary schools then, the famous Askorth school having been In operation tor thirty years. In America the Wm. Penn Charter school had been founded for more than a century and the Nln Partners Boarding school (17f;) under the care of New York Yearly Meeting and the Westtown Boarding School. ill'.f.tt near Philadelphia, had entered well upon their fruitful career. Already Friends had lost two consplcuoui educational opportunities: one in England and one in America. The society had been given a good start educationally by George Fox. Through his advice, sixteen (1; Boarding Schools had been set up. the first one only twenty years 1WT) after the first congregation had been established. The words of Fox have become classic "I advise the setting up of a school for teaching boys and also woman's school for Instructing girls and young maidens In whatever things are civil or useful in creation. Fox bad also made the suggestion "that school should be established to teach the languages together with the nature of herbs, roots, plants and trees. In 1J07 the "Morning Meeting of London advised that "Friends of Estate should subscribe to the founding of a "College of Industry and that meetings should establish schools "for Instruction In French, in languages and sciences, and in connection with labor. The College of Industry was established by John Bellars. This meeting also advised the training of teachers. This was a fine heritage both in the matter of material equipment and In the way of educational Ideals. Had they Immediately follow ing generations of Friends proved obedient to the educational visions of their founders, the cause of education would have advanced wonderfully. Quotes Dr. Magill. But these good educational seeds had been sown where there was not much earth and although they straightway sprang up, they largely withered away. In explanation of this parable I would use the words of Dr. Magill. a-former president of Swarthmore college, whs says: "We see Friends, at the time of their origin influenced by a number o? educated leaders, who had enjoyed th benefit of a full collegiate and university training. As this earlier generation passed away, and Friends began to depend upon schools of their own, and teachers of their own training, who bad never enjoyed the benefits of the higher education, a dearth of teachers who were properly qualified intellectually for their work was the natural result. As a consequence through the first part of the eighteenth century, there was a manifest decline of education among Friends, as compared with the communities by which they were surrounded. So that two centuries elapsed before another Friend. Ezra Cornell well nigh, revolutionized American education by founding a University in which, following Fox's general idea, he expressed the desire
