SMILING BROADLY TAFT ARRIVES AT

CAPITAL One of First Things Chief Executive Did Was to Visit the Italian that Robert Taft Ran Over. ARRIVAL IN BOSTON WAS OBSCURE AFFAIR President Avoided the Crowds of Sightseers in a Clever Manner Taft Is Glad He Is in Beverly. (American Kewa Service) Beverly, Mass., June 29. Wearing tbe broadest smile that has been seen upon his face within the last year, President William Howard Taft reached here today for his vacation. One of the first things he did was to visit the Italian that Robert Taft ran over In his automobile. Despite the fact that he has a vast amount of work before him and his corps of assistants at the summer capltol, the president was in a happy mood today. "It's certainly good to be here," said the president, laughing, as he descended the steps of his private car. President Taft reached Boston much after the fashion of the celebrated gentleman who "walked right in and turned right around and walked right out again," only the president was In retirement In the private car Colonial, which was drawn into the South station at 8:18 at the end of the federal express and was drawn out again at 8:20 by a special engine. Boston Didn't See Him. Two minutes after he arrived in th South station train yard the president was on his way out to the Grand Junction tracks and thence to Monserrat. Not so much as a glimpse of him was seen, not even through the car 'windows. .' Precautions against the president being disturbed were taken by the police, the station officials and the secret service men. The newspaper reporters and photographers, who were on hand early, got through the head gates and down the platform of track IS where the federal express was due to draw in. By the time the train arrived the police had thrown a little cordon about the track 18 gate, so that the gathering of citizens who had no idea the president would come walking up through the trainshed like a commuter from Neponset, could not get by the . head gate. The federal express had ten cars of its own train, with the Colonial bringing up the rear. This led the Colonial out beyond the trainshed when the express came to a stop. The group of newspaper men clustered along the side of the private car. Through the window a form could be seen moving "as through a glass darkly," but it was not that of the president It was some man of more youthful and slender body, probably one of the secretaries or messengers. Not a glimpse of the president was caught by the waiting throng. Graves of deceased members of the Pythian Sisters in Lutheranla cemetery were decorated yesterday by a committee of the local lodge, Including Mrs. George Chrlsman, Mrs. Edward Stlgleman, Mrs. Guy Duvall and Mrs. Lewis Schirmeyer.

SUMMER

APPLE TREES Apple trees and Pommes de terre. Apples and potatoes both good and highly valuable but It takes longer to raise apples than potatoes. There are DIRECT RESULTS from potatoes but the crop may be killed. There are INDIRECT RESULTS from apple trees deferred dividends.

There are two kinds of advertising. 1. One to supply an immediate demand. 2. The other to create and establish a business or market.

A hardware store in this town advertised lawn swings at a low figure the other day and before noon the next day it had closed out almost the whole line. The demand was already created. The advertiser needed only to say "I have what you are looking for and I'll sell it cheap." Direct RESULTS. In the case of hot water heaters which I mentioned yesterday It will be necessary to create a demand to establish a business. Carry on an Intelligent conversation all this summer about the hot water heater. After a sweltering summer you have persuaded the man that next summer he is going to have one. Suppose a pipe bursts or the range pipes are coated with lime sometime In the next four months THEN TOUR talk comes out of the subconsciousness of the man. TLX. PUT THAT HOT WATER HEATER IN NOW." That little physical thing has forced or kept back RESULTS. One may bring Immediate results when a demand is ALREADY CREATED. But the otherthe CONSISTENT CREATES THE DEMAND! Apples and potatoes both useful and necessary. But which is the best investment year after year. Both of course! Every advertiser should expect direct and indirect results. But he should be careful not to waste the most valuable space in this part of the country which reaches over two-thirds of the people in this vicinity.

The bodies of Mrs. Marie Bowyer, daughter-in-law of Capt. John M. Bowyer, superintend ent of the naval academy and midshipmen Sherman M. Nelson of Newport, R. I., and Brisby E. Thomas, of Union Point, Ga., were recovered today. They went bathing in a boat yesterday af ternoon and all three were drowned. The bodies were found in Annapolis harbor near Chink Point, about a mile and a half" from -the- naval academy. and near where the sailboat they left here yesterday was later found an chored. The bodies were all clad in bathing suits.' It is believed tbe unfortunate woman and tbe two young men suddenly found themselves out of their depth, although the water where the sailboat was anchored is but five feet deep. But the bottom shelves off suddenly a few feet away, and it is thought that not knowing this, Mrs. Bowyer went down and that intrying to save her Nelson and Thomas lost their lives also. Mrs. Bowyer was a Miss Dean of Pittsburg before her marriage several years ago. Her husband, Joseph Bow yer, died in 1908. She had since lived with her father-in-law and his wife.

The battleship Delaware was struck by lightning last night and it was said today that extensive repairs would have to be made. The wireless mast was demolished, one man seriously injured, while seven were slightly shocked. That the ship was not blown up was almost a miracle, as there were 1,500 pounds of ammunition on deck when the . bolt struck, while - nearby were enough six-inch shells to blow the vessel to pieces.

KLONDIKE PRICES CHARGED AT RENO ON EVEJF SCRAP Sandwiches and Even Beans Soar to Startling Heights and Army of Visitors "Pay the Freight". MANY WOMEN ARE TO WITNESS THE BATTLE

But Mrs. Jeffries Refuses to Be a Spectator Although She Is Confident Her Lord Will Be Victor. (American News Service) Reno, Nev., June 29. Klondike prices for all forms of "eats" are now In vogue in Reno. Sandwiches, beans and even the most prosiac articles of diet have taken an upward trend. Where a week ago the prices were normal and a sandwich could be bought for ten cents, today it Is two and even three times that amount. Everything else is in proposition. The ring will be finished Friday when Jim Corbett, acting for Jeffries, and Tom Flanagan for Johnson, will pass final judgment on the construction of the roped square. Besides the many women who will attend the fight and appear in public, there will be others who will be screened off from the public gaze. Mrs. Tex Rickard will occupy a private enclosure screened from observation. Among her guests will be Mrs. Rex Beach, wife of the author; Mrs. Harry Eppinger of San Francisco; Mrs. J. J. Corbett; Mrs. James Kelly of Los Angeles; Mrs. Jack Kepper, wife of Jeffries' Los Angeles partner; Mrs. Jack Jeffries; Mrs. Otto Floto, wife of the Denver theatrical manager. It will be the first time these women have witnessed a boxing match, excepting Mrs. Beach Mrs. "Jeff" Wont Attend. Efforts to persuade Mrs. Jeffries to witness her husband do battle with the colored giant have met-witiTher stern protest and her prompt refusal, which. however, does not mean that she entertains anything but confidence in her husband's ability to make short work of Johnson. The ticket sale for the fight continues to be immense and Rickard now Bees visions of a $250,009 house. The fact that there are to be no $5.00 seats does not seem to have leaked out here, as there has been no comment on that proposal. Tom Corbett will take charge of "official betting" when he arrives. Betting on the battle shows few changes here. . It, is 1 to 3 all over the place with Jeffries as the favorite and at the Casino, where the only board betting on ponies and other games is permitted in the city, there is not much money on either side. Most of the wagers are made privately at the betters do not care about paying Manager Reynolds of the Casino his two per cent commission. The probable second referee is still an undecided question. The two most prominent candidates are Eddie Smith of Oakland and Jack Welsh of San Francisco. , A CEMETERY SDRVEY The board of directors and officers of the (.Goshen Cemetery Association (incorporated),' held a meeting at the office of county superintendent C W. Jordan yesterday afternoon. It was pianned to have a survey of the cemetery made. Prices to be charged for the lots were also considered. The president of the association is John Alexander, and Sylvester Cook, secretary.

KO WHITE SLAVERY Jll NEW YORK CITY Rockefeller Grand Jury Re ports the Allegations Are Mostly Myths. NO ORGANIZED TRAFFIC JUDGE SAYS THAT THE CITY'S FAIR NAME HAS BEEN SLANDERED BY MUCK-RAKING WRITERS IN MAGAZINES,, New York, June 29. New York City was acquitted yesterday of the most serious charge ever brought against! it A special grand jury, with John D.I Rockefeller Jr., as foreman, handed, in its report after six months of investigation, holding that there is no organized trade in women here. In other words, the so-called white slave traffic is a myth. Moreover, the acquittal of New York means basically similar exonerations for all other large cities In the United States, for it had been charged that through New York as headquarters traffic in women was carried on throughout the country. The report as presented does not seek to deny that vice flourishes and it recommends laws for its curbing. What the Report Advises. Chief among the recommendations are the following: That moving picture shows tend to create evil in the minds of children and should be most rigidly inspected. That 125 "massage" and "manicure" parlors are nothing more than disorderly houses and should be subject to rigid regulation. That a crusade should be made against consorts of street women. That there should be a better supervision of of Raines law hotels. That the tenement . house laws be revised and that , the mayor appoint a Commission to study social evils in this and other countries. No Definite Organization. The report, or presentment, says in part: '.; .. "While we have found no evidence of any organization. Incorporated or otherwise, engaged in the traffic of women, nor have we found evidence of organized traffic in women for immoral purposes, it appears, on the other hand, from indictments found by us and from the testimony of witnesses, that a trafficking In the bodies of women does exist and is carried on by individuals acting- for their own in dividual benefit, and ' that these- persons are known to each other and are more or less informally associated. "We have also found that tkms and dubs composed mainly or wholly of those profiting from vice have existed and that one such organ ization still ; exists. " ; Clubs Uka Commercial Bodies. "These associations and clubs are analogous to ; commercial bodies in other fields which, while sot directly

"The 'incorporated syndicates' and J 'international bands' referred to in published statements we find to be based on such informal relations as have just been spoken of." Iaccenting the presentment 'Judge O'Sullivan in the court of general sessions said: "Your answer to the main question submitted to you is a merited rebuke to the slanderers of the cleanest great city in the world." JURORS TO PICNIC The second annual picnic of the petit jury of the January term of court of 1909 will be held at Cook's Grove, south of Greensfork on July 10.

Ernest Rockhill Had Choice Between Coal Supply, a $10 Bill or Suit of Clothes Why Want Ads Pay.

Albert Rockhill, 925 North " Tenth street, is mighty . proud of his young son, Ernest. r Because of the youngster's keen eyesight, the lord of the Rockbill home will not have to dip Into his pay envelope all next winter to buy coal, and those who have been studying the "increased cost of living problem" keenly realize what a Godsend that is. Yesterday afternoon D. L. Mather, secretary and treasurer of the Mather Bros. Coal company, was hurrying up town with $2431 in checks and currency, to deposit in the hank. On arriving at the bank Mr. Mather found his checkbook, like Mother Hubbard's cupboard, was bare not even a stingy little dollar bin to be found. Then Mr. Mather did a very sensible thing he , harried to the Palladium office, shortly before the edition went to press, and inserted two small ads. . In the meantime young Ernest Rockhill, while passing the corner of North Eighth and E streets, saw a tan colored ' object : between the street car tracks. His curiosity led him to pick

As a day of accidents, the twentyfour hours ending at noon today would rival an insane Fourth. . Two men were hit by C. C. & L. trains, death resulting in one instance, while three automobile wrecks are checked up in the record. Fred Waking, of South Eighth street was struck by a train at about three o'clock yesterday afternoon while trying to reach the end of tbe C, C. Jb L. bridge near Williamsburg and died soon afterwards from the effect of his injuries. Waking was a member of a construction gang that was working; on the bridge, and had left here in the morning. Together with the other workmen he was warned of the approach of the east-bound train. The other men hadi plenty of time to reach places of safety, but Waking appears to have become confused. His hesitation coat him his life, for the engine struck him just before be reached the end of the bridge, hurling the man thirty feet into an embankment. He was unconscious when picked up, and although he was hurried to Williamsburg at once on a hand-car, death soon followed. , The body was brought to this city at four o'clock and taken to the home of Mrs. Waking's father on South Eighth street. Waking is survived by a wife and one child. . . Tl UI1Q iI.MIUiUB Saw !

The accident occurred near the overhead crossing of the Pennsylvania, just beyond tbe North End station. The train was stopped and the man brought to the depot. At first it was supposed that his injuries were serious, but an examination by a surgeon showed that no bones were broken. . The train was going at a low rate of speed and Griffey failed to hear the whistle. He was later able to get out of town. The bottle was unbroken. Runs Over Small Bey. The efforts of Wesley R, Goodwin, of 315 South Fifth street, to dodge an interurban car at Fifth and Main streets at five o'clock last evening, caused him to turn his machine Into the sidewalk by Sudhoff s drug store, running over ten year old Virgil MoElbany. The accident was entirely unavoidable, according to eye-witnesses. The automobile was not heavy, and although both wheels passed over the boy's abdomen, he was bat slightly injured and was able to ran home to tbe Brunswick hotel, of which his father is proprietor.

With this small fortune 'Ernest hurried home and learned through the Palladium ' that the wealth belonged to Mather Bros, 80 he telephoned to the anxious Mather who had lost the bonanza and then hurried to the Mather office, handing over the checkbook and its contents amid sighs of relief from the entire office staff. D. I Mather 'informed tho youth that as a reward he could have the choice between $10. suit of clothes, or a winter's supply of coal for his family. Til think it over. said Ernest.
