A man hunt that extended half way
around the world and part of the way

day when a Pinkerton man and two
local detectives boarded the Pacific
Mail liner Mongolia on it's arrival and
arrested one of it's best dressed passen-
gers, a young man travelling in royal

the grounds the cheering was stilled

TAFT TO WATERWAY CONVENTION
Republican Candidates Address ELECTS
Great Applause.

Great Applause.
Chicago, Oct S.--A picture of days
when stately ships shall carry the rich
products of the central states from the
great lakes to the Gulf o. Mexico
through deep waterway, returning
with products of no less value, was
conjured up before the delegates and
visitors to the third annual conven-
ton OF the I.akes-to-the-Gulf Deep
Waterway association by able speak
ers, headed by Judge William II. Taft.
The utterances were authoritative,
for they came from Secretary Saund-
crs of the association, President KAY
anaugh, head of the organization;
Governor Charles S. Deneen of Hi
nois, who spoke of the first link of the
great waterway. the Chicago drainage
canal, and w. II. Taft.
The need of such a waterway was
insisted upon by every speaker The
question of transportation, it was de-
clared. is one of the most serious ques'
tions with which this country has to
| deal. Judge Taft's insistence that not
only the deep waterway, but the con
| servaton of the national resources
were related subjects which called fol-
| immediate action, elected great ap
plause. His statement that the water
way was not a project, but policy
found a ready response in cheers of hi!
! auditors
