PRESIDENT
MCKINLEY DAY BANQUET AT
CLEVELAND, OHIO, is HoNoRED
BY PRESENCE OF SECRETARY
TAFT-sPEAkERs CONFINED RE-
MARKS TO COMMUNICATION
OF DEAD PRESIDENT HOWEVER,
AND POLITICS WERE TARooEp.
BY Associates Press.

Cleveland, O., Jan 29.-McKinley,
the martyred president, was the key
note of several addresses delivered at
the Tippicanoe Clubs annual McKin-
ley Day banquet here tonight, at
which Secretary of War William H.
Taft was the guest of honor. The
secretary spoke on THE Republic. -
All the speakers confined their re-
marks to the life and deeds OF McK:n-
ley.
There was some expectation that
the banquet might develop a political
air, owing to the presence of Mr..
Taft, in his own state. However, at
no time during his stay here did he
refer publicly to political matters.
The speakers included Congressman
Duncan E Mckinley, of California,
and Jno. w. Griggs, former attorney
general of the United States.

New Chart corrects Errors.

The great practical utility of the
magnetic survey made in the Pacific
ocean by the yacht Galilee since 1905
is shown by a new magnetic chart,
from which it appears that the charts
previously used by navigators in the
pacific ocean were erroneous along
some much-traversed routes to the ex-
tent of from three to five degrees,
and the errors at times were syste-
matte. Errors of this magnitude are
of Importance in practical navigation
where the indications of the compass
should be as accurate as possible.

not shrink from responsibility, but
from the horde of men. Travellers,

b. had put through" a tremendous
cleaning. The room was long and

Shackelford Newbegin had taken
Gideon's place at the bar and had
proved exceptionally trustworthy.
'Doggone 'eml Some of 'em sleeps
In their boots, drunk or SOBER" Sally
b. continued, her mind still on the
beds. She scowled refectively. her
neat soul outraged by memories of
back aching seasons OF blanket-wssh-
