SERVANTS As GOVERNORS

ROSWELL, Ca, Oct. 20.-Half
the population of this town was
assembled at the station at 7
O'Clock this morning, when the spe.
cial train with the president and
his party on board, arrived. Sena-
tor Clay, who had met the presi-
dents train at Chamblee and had
come back with the president, TAX
ing breakfast with him on the train,
acted as master of ceremonies
upon the arrival of the train.
When the train rolled into the
station the president. accompanied
by Senator Clay, appeared on the
platform. A committee of recep-
ton, consisting of Mayor Sherman,
S. Y. Stribling and S. Crowley, was
awaiting the president at the sta.
tion and after President Roosevelt
had shaked hands all around, he
and the members of the reception
committee took seats In a carriage
and drove through the handsomely
decorated streets of the town to
Darlington Hall, the residence of
Mrs. Baker, who was one of the
bridesmaids at the wedding of
President Roosevelts mother. Mrs.
Baker invited President Roosevelt

81 don't mean that" Messner Is
said to have observed. what l
mean is that you get entirely away
from this. Prall is lawyer and a
secret service man and can fix mat.
tiers all right. There's nothing that
money can't do"
Prall entered the room after
Messner left and talked with her.
The conversation turned on the
amount of money needed. 1t was
suggested that she mortgage her
ranch at Mead. twenty-five hun
dred dollars would be about the
figure. The prosecutor should get
$1,000 and influence could be
brought to bear on the court to sub
stitute $500 cash bond for the
$4,000 surety bond under which she
was then out on liberty. More
money might be needed, but the
property could be mortgaged for
enough to cover all.
Mrs. Latham was still answering
these questions and had not reach
ed the real heart of the proposition
OF actual conspiracy of Messner
and Prall to get held of her prop
erty when this paper went to press.
