WANTED The
RICHT-OF-WAY
Correct Version of Ill Mann.
cred Outburst of President.
REBUKEO YOUNG LADIES
From National Park School
at Forest Glen. m
President, In Rough Rider Style
Charged by Them and Frightened
Their Horses The Story.

In connection with the rebuke
administered to party of Young
ladies from the National Park semi
nary at Forest Glen, Maryland, Miss
ruth Fisher, OF this city, who re-
turned home today from the school
to spend the holidays with her
parents tells a correct version of
The affair for which the president
is being severely condemned.
In tolay's telegraph columns the
Mirror containec version of the
story which leaked out In Washing
ton yesterday, Miss Fisher states
that party of twelve young ladies'
of the school, in company with the.
riding Instructor, Miss, Ssson, were
enjoying a., gallop near the school,
The president came up from the
rear at mad pace and passed the
young ladies. In passing he frigh-
tened their horses and his horses
hoof struck Miss Sisson's, stirrup,
dislodSing D, her, foot. Her horse
reared and acted badly for a time
hut she was not thrown. The other
animals started at rapid pace
forward and passed the president,
who had stopped and turned about.
Very rudely and with considerable
warmth he rebuked them for failing
to give him more room as he ap-
preached, saying that they should
have been aware that the right of
the road was his The president was
then Joined by Mrs. Roosevelt and
Miss Ethei. The former, 1t is stated,
took the matter in a rational man,
ner but Miss Ethel acted the snip
much to the disgust of the girls of
the seminary.
Very indignant at the insulting
attitude of the president the young
ladies returned s,to the seminary
where the affair was reported, An
eff4rt was made to hush it up but
thel young women rebuked were too
ipdlghant TO remain silent on the
subject even If the president of the
United States was the object Of
their wrath 'r
None of the young ladies intended
the slightest affront to the president
or the members of his party and
they felt keenly the Insult offered
to them by the chief executive of
the nation.
One of the young ladies in the
riding party, Miss Margaret Kier-
sted, of ST. Louis, is soon to visit
Miss Fisher here.

the old Free Baptist church on
East Center street on Thursday. I
Friday, Saturday and NIonday,

a greater success than ever the
most expectant had dared to
prophesy. The public supported It
nobly as the receipts show, the
business men were liberal the la
dies were persistent and tireless in
their efforts and the decided success
of the event was all due to the fact
that everybody worked and planned
together, all with one view, to re-
ieve the sufferings of poor families
this winter.
There was almost deafening ap-
plause when Albert Howe, chairman
of the bazaar committee addressed
the lodge and gave an itimized re-
port of the great affair. In addition

a list of recommendation which
were unanimously adopted,

Mccormick who was chairman OF
the ladies who contributed so much
| towards the success OF the bazaar

itemized covering several type
written pages 2 and gave evidence
that the ladies' were untiring in
their efforts to make the bazaar

The recommendation which spec
ify the methods of dispensing charity
which were made by the committee
and adopted by the lodge are as
| follows:
"Your committee begs leave to
submit the following recommends
tlons for the consideration of the
lodge.
THAT we hereby express our
hearty appreciation of the part
which was taken In the bazaar
by the ladies and assure them that

have gone for naught. ,. .r
That we extend our thanks to

in which the bazaar was held, to
the Marion Electric Light company
to the merchants, to all other cit-
zens who donated so libera,Iy to the
success OF the bazaar, to Addison

one who added even in the slightest
degree to the success of the affair.

COMPRESS SHOWS CAIN.
More Cotton Handled at Decatur Plant
 Than During Previous Season.

Decatur, February 7-(special.)-It is stated on good authority that the Gulf compress of New Decatur, is the only one of the 32 congresses owned by this company, and scattered all over the southern states, that showed an increase in business for the present season over the business of the preceding season,
 This is a remarkable showing and be- speaks volumes for the Decaturs, and when it is taken into consideration that the past few months have been exceed ingly dull months in business all over the country.
 Another evidence of the prosperity of the Decaturs is that the receipts of the postoffices of Decatur and New Decatur for the month of January, just past, show quite marked increase over the receipts for the month of January, 1907.
 The bank deposits, too, in the Decaturs have held their own and in several in cidences have shown quite a large in- crease since the opening of the new year.
