TAFT ATE TOO MUCH.
The Secretary Explains His Illness to
Crowd of Banqueters.

st. Paul, June 15.-It looked for a
time last night as if the banquet which
was given at the auditorium in honor
of Secretary of War Taft would not
be graced by the presence of the sec
rotary. wLo was taken suddenly ill
while reviewing the troops at Fort
Smelling shortly after noon
Looking somewhat pale. but with his
face wreathed in smiles, the secretary
of war strobe down the long line of
banqueters and the 1000 seated at the
ables, and many more who occu-
pied seats in the boxes and balconies,
rose to their feet and cheered Justify.
To the Associated Press the secretary
stated that he was feeling much bet
ter, and that his attack was merely a
severe fit of indigestion which undoubt-
eddy had been brought on by the con-.
tinuous series of banquets which had
been rendered him since he left Wash
ington on his western trip.
The banquet. which except for the
visit to Fort Smelling. was the only
function which the secretary was able
to attend, was given on the immense
stage of the auditorium. Plates were
laid for 1000 banqueters, while the box
es and galleries surrounding the stage
were thronged with handsomely gown
ed women. Palms and potted plants
were scattered in picturesque pro-
fusion about the banquet hall. while
thousands of silk American flags float
ed overhead.
When Secretary Taft arose to speak
his voice was strong and he was heard
in all parts of the great auditorium.
at has come to be my portion to re-
ceive the hospitality from a great
many people; from those in the Phil
ippines many thousands of miles away;
from Panama. Cuba. Porto Rico. and
to have with Senator Clapp at my
right hand to run the risk of several
winters in Washington; but it has re-
manned for me to surrender 20 the twin
cities of the north.
Seriously. the condition in which I
find myself tonight is my own fault
and 1 can refer to Archbishop Ireland
for the truth of the saying that You
may bray a fool in a mortar among
wheat with a pestle and his foolishness
will depart from him.
The fact is that I caught a cold
and added to my indiscretion by eating
too heartily of the cheer provided for
me at my various stopping Places
Secretary Taft then outlined briefly
what had been done in Panama, and
said:
eff we complete the canal in seven
years We will have demonstrated in
record time what American energy can
do"
After a few words of excuse for cut
ting his address short, Secretary Taft
said goodby. and then before the cheer
ing had subsidized he was out of the
door and into an automobile on his
way to the home of J. c. Hill.

TUCKER ON STAND
Secretary of Uncle Sam Oil
Company Testifies.
Charges Standard Oil C0nspir-
acy to Ruin Him.
BROKE DOWN.
First Appeared Ready to Burst
Into Tears.
Tells Connection Of ID. w. Null
vane With Fraud Order.

/ Leavenworth, June 15-H. H. Tucker,
IT., the secretary. treasurer and general
manager of the Uncle Sam Oil COM
pany, and incidentally the star witness
! in the trial now on in the federal cir
cult court, was on the stand three
quarters of an hour before court adj
| journed Friday afternoon. He was on
| direct examination under the guidance
of Alfred Wilson, the present Uncle
Sam attorney, and was Just fairly
started on his story Of 'oiack flag
methods, as he terms them, of the
Standard Oil company.
The attitude of Tucker in the witness
chair was peculiar. At first he seemed
| crushed in spirit. He talked in a low
tone and gave the impression that he
was about to break down. Judge Ami
don and the jury studied him closely.
He was treated kindly by Judge Ami
don, who has a smooth, courtly way OF
addressing attorneys and witnesses,
and Tucker took on courage and warm
ed up. His hatred for the Standard
Oil company seems to be genuine.
That Stock Issue.
When asked about the L million of
preferred stock with voting power of
million. Tucker said:
L secured it by pledging myself to
the company for the amount of 81, 900.
1 agreed to hold it ten years. did not
to use it to vote to keep control of the
company, to keep the Standard Oil
from getting the Uncle Sam company.
wanted this power to control, to
build a Chinese wall, to keep the Stand
ard Oil out"
Tucker said the Uncle Sam company
had refneries in operation at Cherry
vale and Atchison, refining 900 barrels
of oil a day and were about to start
the one at Tulsa. which would have
added 600 barrels to their capacity,
when the mail fraud order hit them.
He estimated the property of the Un-
Gle Sam company, as a growing con-
Germ, to be worth 112 million dollars.
When asked about the million dollar
bond issue, Tucker said:
Our plans were to issue millions
of these bonds to stockholders of the
company and to sell the other mill
lions at par. We had a deal pending
to sell these 8 million dollars in bonds
to English capitalists and 1 was on
the way to the Baltimore hotel to close
ii when I received word of the fraud
order and was ashamed to go near the
man waiting to close the deal"
Mr.. Mulvane's Connection.
Tucker started early to drag D. w.
Mulvane of Topeka into his testimony.
There was an amusing incident con-
nected with this. When Mr.. Mulvane's
name was mentioned by Tucker as Civ
ing him an advance tip of his indict-
ment objection was made by Mr..
Krauthoff on the ground that this was
not fuckers criminal trial. Judge
Amidon said:
81 don't know Mulvane Who is
he Tell me about him."
He is Republican national commit
teeman for Kansas, and at one time
he was my representative to prevent
the issuing of a fraud order" said Mr..
Tucker
Tucker then went on to say that
Mulvane sent him a message to come
and see him the Friday before he was

carl Busch wins a Prize,

Kansas City, June 15.-Carl Busch
has received a dispatch announcing
that his cantata, THE Four Winds"
had received the $500 prize offered by
Strawbridge & C1othier, of Philadel-
pfia. for the best cantata on an
American subject. The piece is the
second scene of Longfe1low's "Hia-
watha.' and many Italian melodies
are interviewer in it. The orchestra
ton was in Mr.. Busch's studio when
the University building burned, but
when the ruins are cleared away 1t is
possible that the music will be found
not entirely destroyed.

WANTS TROLLEY THROUGH STATE

Walter Morris, a prominent Dover cap.
italist and cashier Of the Farmers Bank,
Of that place, is asking the people Of Kent
and Sussex counties to form large stock
company and subscribe $3.50, 600 at once
for the equipment Of modern electric
railways Mr.. Morris, who was promi.
nent in the anti-license crusade, says in
part:
ttThe Delaware railroad cannot cater to
the people of Delaware. They are busy
hauling through freight from the south.
''It would only take $62. 900 to pay FIVE
per centum OH the bonds and stock Of an
electric line. Electricity is less expen-
sive than steam and gasoline is cheapest
OF all. The gasoline car is success. II
requires no central power house.
"Stock would be $50 share and farm
ers, business and professional men should
all subscribe. They cannot afford not to.
We all need it in our business. Farms
would increase in value 20 per centum.
Freight and passenger rates would de-
crease 20 per centum. Business would
increase because more people would
move to Delaware if we had good railway
communications with Wilmington and
Philadelphia.
'The drinking class of Kent and Sussex
have drunk up tile cost OF several trolley
lines and have done il to their injury.
