Notable Company Hears Him At ohio
 Society Banquet.
 New York, Dec 7e-Bringing his stay in New York to a close tonight. PFesi- dent-elect William H. Taft was the guest of honor at one of the most not abel banquets ever held in this city, the twenty third annual dinner of the Ohio Society in New York.
 Mir. Taft took advantage of the oc- casfon in a speech filled with more ear- nestness than any he has delivered since his election, to pledge his admin istration and his party so far as he can control it, to loyal adherence to the Chicago platform. He dwelt. almost wholly upon the revision of the tariff. saying:
 "Better no revision at all. better that the new bill should fail unless we have an honest and thorough revision on the basis laid down and the principle out lined in the party platform"
 Seated at the Presidents table" with Mir. Taft, were the Vice PTesident-eleet, Mir. sherman: Governor Charles sE. Hughes. of New York. who paid Q glowing tribute to Mir. Taft during the course of the evening; Henry W. Taft. president of the society and toastInas- fer: Charles P. Taft. of Ohio; Horace D. raft. of Watertown. Conn; Dr. Arthur T Hadley. president of Yale Univer- sity; former Senator John C. Spooner. one of those who responded to the toasts; j. Pierpont Morgan, Paul Nor ton. dovernor Franklin Fort of New Jersey, Secretary Straus, Frank H. Hitchcock, Bishop Leonard of Ohio, General H. c. Corbin. Admiral Cas- nar Goodrich and others.
 sCWa1l Street Crowd"
 Al one of the tables near that of the guest of honor was perhaps the most 1otabIe group of fnaneiers ever gather aS together at dinner in this country. All of the diversified interests and so- called ''Wall Street orowd' were rep resented. There were E. H. Hartman. T. Hill. George F. Baker. president of inc First National Bank; George ". Perkins, of J. P. Morgan and Com nenv: E. H. Gary. Chairman of the Isoerd of the United States Steel Cor noration; John Clafin. Frank 4.

would cost him high price and he
would not get satisfactory work.
Tesla was also one of those with sug-
gestions. He complained against the
fact that rich men had a chance to get
in when auctions were held and overbid
the poor man. He was also against
the long time residence clause on the
ground that a poor man might have
business in the city which would keep
him from spending the needed six
months per year on the land. He
thought that the value of the land
should be fixed at about one-third of
the appraised valuation and that lot
terry from which all plantation men
were excluded would be best. How
to exclude the plantation men he could
not say, other than that the Land Com
missioner should know them and keeT
them out.
Land Commissioner Pratt read from
the homestead agreement of the United
States Government the oath which a
settler is bound to take, providing that
he took up the land for settlement, not
for speculation or as agent, or to turn

viding penalty, in fine and imprison'
