TAFT HOT HISSED

WHtii mmm PATRIOTIC WOMEN I Daughters of the American1 Revolution Met Today and Received Some Advice from the Executive. DUTY TO COUNTRY IS SUBJECT OF SPEECH He Tells Delegates That Life Is Not Made Up of a Series of Grand Stand Plays Before People. - (American New Service) Washington, April 18. President Taft made the welcoming address to one thousand delegates to the annual congress of the Daughters of the American Revolution, which began in Continental Memorial hall today. There' was no hissing. "Don't play . to the grand stand," was the tenor of President Taft's speech welcoming the Daughters of the American Revolution. President Taft made it known that he is not in clined to take up the controversy with the suffragists. In introducing the president, Mrs. Matthew T. Scott, president general, presented him. a back handed compliment by saying that the president was not a suffra gist; that he was not one because his objection to it was founded on the principal that if he were prompted by elfish motives he would have indorsed the propaganda. . "I confess," said the president, "that when I came here I did not expect to have presented to me matters of controversy. ' . , Talks of Patriotism. "I thought all were united on the issue that brings us here." He then went into brief discussion of the pa triotism. "I wish to emphasize this morning," he Bald, "the advantage of constantly having before the children and the men and women of this country suggestion of their duty to their country. Life is made up, not of lot of grand stand ' plays witnessed by 80,000,000 of people every day. It ia made up of a series of acts, and that series of acts,,, of dally recurrence,' is what makes up the character of a man or woman. "We of the Anglo-Saxon race," he added, "are a little disposed at times to fear that by over zealous expression and demonstration we shall be taken to be hypocrites, now, in the matter of manner. In the matter of ex nression. In. the matter of our treat ment of each other we have much to learn from the Latin races. .Our theory that politeness and courtesy are only skin deep, and that the only thing between people ought to be exact truth which would have some of us in a pretty bad way is not a theory sus tained by the human race." . The president was greeted with hearty applause. - INVADE THE CAPITOL. Washington, April , IS. Suffragists .lnvVded the capitol today to present to congress a monster petition bear ing 250,000 names asking an amend ment to the constitution allowing women the right to vote. ,Crum packer was selected as representative of the Hoosler. state by the womans suffrage advocates of Indiana to present to the house the petition asking that the right to vote be presented to women. v This morning he offered the petition with those from Other states in the Union, collected under the auspices of the National Woman's Suffrage organization.

RIOTING CHINESE NEARLY SUBDUED A Semblance of Order Has Been Restored in City of Chang Sha.

TOWN BURNS IN PLACES FEARS ARE FELT FOR THE PRESBYTERIAN MISSION AT CHANGTE, HUNAN--REPORTED TROOPS HAVE MUTINIED. (American News Service) Hankow, China, April IS. After five days of rioting, a semblance of order was restored at Chans Sha today, although the city, fired by the anti-for eign and anti-government mobs, was still burning In several quarters. Beyond the city, however, turbulence Is increased. '"Kill the foreigners," is the word being carried by rebel mes sengers. The province of Hunan, in which Is Chang Sha is aflame, and the long existent anti-foreign spirit in Hupsh, the province to the north, is becoming more serious, according to advances received here today. Fears are felt for tlie Presbyterian mission at Chang-Te, Hunan, a hundred miles from Chang Sha. Rioting at Hankow. Rioting has broken out in Hankow, and further difficulty is anticipated The missionaries and other foreigners who. have taken refuge here are safe, however. Reports from Chang-sha today said that the 2,000 troops rushed there by the Viceroy of Hupeh, had mutinied, following the example of G.OOO soldiers stationed at Chang-sha. - More troops were sent to the city today. Incendiary rebels are stirring up the populace in Hupeh. The government has prepared for strong repressive measures. The British gunboat Thistle, delayed at Yuchow by low water, while trying to reach Chang-sha, today, made fur ther attempts to advance. The French cruiser Alger is on Its way here.

A REFEREE WANTED

Choice of Boss for Big Mill May Be the Cause of Big Wrangle. JOHNSON FAVORS WELCH , -i (American News Servlse) Chicago, April 18. With little more than two weeks Intervening before the expiration of the time for selecting a referee for the Johnson-Jeffries fight on July 4, Jack Welch-seems to loom up , as the most probable and logical boss of the fight. Jack Johnson, the big colored fight er, came out strong today for Welch, saying that he believed Welch square and that he would insist upon his seection. The referee must be selected by May 1. . 'There will be some fierce wrang ling between us unless Welch Is selected," said Johnson. "The selection of a referee means much to me. Per sonally, I haven't got anything against:any man. From my own ex perience I have learned that Welch H square and that be is the kind of a man am looking for one that will not give me the worst of It." The weather today was anything but to encourage the colored champion to work. Yesterday he went out in his touring car and whizzed over about lOO miles of javed streets and muddy country roads. It is now settled that Johnson will leave for the coast Thursday, 'S TAIL L At Present It Stretches Oil for 2,000,000 Miles. But Will Grow. POSES FOR A PHOTOGRAPH Chicago, April 18.Halley's comet has a tail at least 2,000,000 miles in length. 'What Is more, it is probable that the tail will grow apace as the comet shoots toward the earth at the rate of 3,000,000 miles a day, and that we shall be able to view the fiery phenomenon in its entirety .without a telescope within ten days. . , These facts, ip all their numerical dignity, are': made public on the authority of the astronomers at Yerkes Observatory. Williams Bay, who ob served the comet for almost an hour yesterday morning under ideal con ditions. Professors Edwin B. Frost and E. E. Barnard operated on It with telescopes, ; spectroscopes and photo graphic telescopes to their hearts' con tent, effectually dissipating the suspicion that the eccentric "joy rider" had mislaid its appendage in its recent journey behind the sun. Cornet Is Photographed. Professor Barnard secured a satisfac tory photograph of the comet, tail and all, with his observatory's Bruce pho tographic telescope, which had been specially equipped. Professor Frost watched the sky visitor through his twelve inch Instrument -and made a spectroscopic examination, revealing the fact that the comet's light at pre ent comes largely from the sun, where as at the last inspection the body's lu minous gases were more In evidence To Professor Frost's eyes the comet appeared to be one-third the diameter of the moon in length, while on the photograph It appears as two diameters of the moon in length. Its brightness was comparable to the brightness of a star of the sixth magnitude, the faint est star visible to the naked eye. The dawn, however, made the comet invia ible to the naked eye. Professors Frost and Barnard be gan their observations shortly, after 4 o'clock, and stopped a few minutes before 5 o'clock. The photographic plate was exposed fourteen minutes ! to a clear sky, and its development was a matter of much interest at the observatory. Is Brighter Now. "The comet looked 50 percent brighter than it did five jor six days ago," said Professor Frost. "If the sky had been dark It would have been visible without the use of the telescope. The comet rose an hour and a quarter before the sun, the dawn being still too strong for a view with the naked eye. "I found it easy with the three-inch finder attached to my instrument, and Professor Barnard and I observed it for some time. It looked simply like a bright star with a fuzzy extension or tail pointing ' away from the sun. It will look about that way when it becomes visible to everybody, though the tail may appear much larger. "It is not yet safe to predict when the eomet will be : plainly on view, but I think it will be within ten days. The 2,000,000 miles of tail visible to us may repsesent only a part of Us real length, and that is another point we shall soon learn." Many students of the University of Chicago plan to get a glimpse of the comet this week. The students intend to hold a comet party as soon as the celestial visitor becomes visible to the naked eye. . - RED MEN TO INVADE ' A delegation of possibly two hundred Red Men. from this city, will attend the district meeting at Winchester, tomorrow.

The board accepted the Quit claim from August Uhde this morning for the property on West First street re cently purchased by the city for $35 and which with the ground adjoining already owned by the city will be con veyed into a park. A petition was presented the board for the construction of a cement al ley between North O and H streets and North Eighth to Tenth streets. Some time ago a petition was presented for the graveling of this alley but the resident property owners now desire cement.

At a literary and scientific gathering a learned Greek scholar got into conversation with one of the leading mathematicians of the day and apparently found a ready listener.

After awhile, noticing that his audience, the man of figures, made no remark, he paused and said in a questioning tone of wonder: "Of course you think those lines mas terly, do you not?"
