HE is GUEST OF REPUBLICANS AT
KANSAS CITY BANQUET.

Secretary, Who Speaks in Defense
of His Party.

by 1900 persons, many of whom came
from Nebraska, Kansas, Oklahoma

The demonstration accorded Secre-
tary Taft when he entered the great
banquet hall and again when he rose

the welcome given any public man
in the history of this city. Each of

balconies of the hall were free to the
public and long before the speaking

who expect to leave their individual
impress upon the political character
of the nation" Speaking of the re-
cent panic and the presidents late
special message to congress the secre-
tary said:
''The message contains an answer to
the charges made that the administra-
ton is responsible for the industrial
depression, and the sharpness and en-
phasis with which this unfounded at
tack is met has heartened the great
body of the people as a bugle call to
renewed support of the policies of the
administration"
Mayor Henry M. Beardsley deliv-
cred the address of welcome and E. D.
McJimsey, editor of the Springfield
(Mo.) Republican, acted as toast
master
Herbert S. Hadley, attorney. general
of Missouri, responded to the toast,

Judge Sheldon P. Spencer of st. Louis
spoke on the Republican Party" and
other well-known Missourians deliv-
cred short addresses.

OUTRAGE BY NIGHT RIDERS |
ARMED BAND BLOWS UP LARGE
FACTORY IN KENTUCKY.
Tobacco Barn Also Is Rurned-Citi-
zens of Fredonia Are Tenn
porarily Made Prisoners.

Hopkinsville, KY, Feb. 10.-Satur.
about $50 mounted night riders,
masked, heavily armed and wearing
the insignia of secret clan, invaded
Fredonia, Crittenden county, captured
James Scarberry, operator of the Cum
berland Telephone company, and cut
all telephone connections.
They then forced Dave Potter, a
clerk in a drug store, to open his store
in which they corralled several citi-
zens and held them prisoners.
Leaving large guard in the town
the others galloped to the village of
View, five miles away, and blew up
Alfred H. Cardin's tobacco factory,
containing $4,000 pounds of tobacco
and set fire to and destroyed Mr..
Cardin's barn, containing 10000
pounds of tobacco belonging to him
and his troopers.
The loss aggregates $4,000, with
$4,000 insurance.
Mr.. sCardin is the buyer for Buck
ner & Dunkerson of Louisville. He
and his family were away from home!
After firing volleys of shots into the
air, the night riders returned through
Fredonia and released their prisoners.
Eighty per cent. of Crittenden coun-
ty farmers have tobacco pooled in the
Society OF. Equity. Mr.. Cardin is not
a member. He is a prominent citizen,
aged rs, and was formerly a candidate
for governor on the Populist ticket.

WOULD MAKE DEPUTY TALK
District Judge Declares Federal Off,
cial in Contempt.

Bismarck, N. D., Feb. 12.-Whether
a deputy revenue collector of the
United States can refuse to answer
questions in district court in matters
pertaining to his Office will be tested
in court here. George II. Piercy,
revenue collector for this district, in
the trial of a blind pig case refused
to answer question as to the sigma
ture of the collector at Aberdeen.
Judge Winchester of the district
court ordered the witness under ar
rest for contempt of court, and he is
now in the custody of the sheriff.
The matter will have to be tried
out to establish whether deputy col
lecter can be compelled to testify as
to official matters of his business.

MORSE IS Accused
OF GRAND larceny
NEW YORK GRAND JURY INDlCTS
THE Ex-BANkER AND ICE
MAGNATE.
Bail Is Fixed at $40, 000-Former Bank.
Ice and Steamship Magnate Is Due
to Land Saturday from Quick Eu-
ropean Trip.

New York, Feb. 1.-THE grand jury
for New York county, which has been
investigating certain business transac-
tons involving some of the banks
with which Charles w. Morse, the
organizer of the American Ice COM
pany and the Consolidated Steamship
company, until recently was identified,
returned five indictments Monday.
Three of these indictments had to do
with liquor tax cases, while two in
dictments charged grand larceny.
The indictments were not made pub
lie, but in asking that a good-sized
bail bond be required, District Attor-'
ney Jerome stated to the court that
the two charges of grand larceny were
laid against "a man now on his way
over here from Europe. Following
the court proceedings it was stated
authoritatively that the man referred
to by Mr.. Jerome was Charles w.
Morse, who sailed for Liverpool a
week ago Saturday on the Campania
but is now returning upon the advice
of his counsel.
Morse Due Next Saturday.
Mr.. Morse is a passenger on the
Cunarder Etruria due here late next
Saturday. The grand jury, it is
learned, has ordered other indict-
ments, in connection with it's investi-
cation into banking affairs
When the jury appeared before
Justice Bowling in the supreme court
District Attorney Jerome said:
Your honor, two of those papers
in that batch are indictments on
which 1 would like to have bail fixed.
would suggest $4,000 on one of them
and nothing on the other"
His Bail Will Be $4,000.
Justice Bowling looked through the
indictments and replied:
Il suggest that bail be fixed at $10,-
900 on each of them"
This was agreeable to Mr.. Jerome.
Among the matters which the grand
jury looked into was a transaction in
which two notes for 100000 figured.
The federal grand jury, which also
has been Investigating the banking
situation, concluded it's days session
Monday without handing down any in
dictments.

ALDRICH talks
upon HIS BILL
GUARDIAN OF SENATE OPENS
DEBATE ON THE MEASURE
THAT HE WROTE.
Senators not Expected to Change it
Much, Railroad Bond Feature is
Opposed. Possible it May Pass
in Three Weeks.

Washington, Feb. Ex-senator AL
drich in opening the debate on the
financial bill in the senate made a
speech yesterday that created a IA
vorable impression among the mem
of both houses. Senator Aldrich ex-
pressed the opinion that the bill will
pass the senate in it's present form
within three weeks, and he is conf
dent that the oposition by the DEM
ocrats will be of such nature as not
to unduly retard the progress of the
measure.
The Democrats are expected to line
up in favor of the bill proposed by
Mr.. Bailey to authorize the issuance
of treasury notes instead of national
bank notes. Their opposition to the
Aldrich bill, however, will be only to
the extent of obtaining votes upon
various amendments and a record of
the senate showing the attitude of
the Democratic minority against the
bill and in favor of treasury notes.
The indications are that the highest
vote to be cast against any provision
of the Aldrich bill will be that regis
tered against the utilization of rail-
road bonds as a basis for note issues.
Several Western senators, Democrats
and Republicans, and number of
senators from the South, will vote
against the railroad bond provision.
1t is regarded by several senators as
extremely unfortunate that Senator
Nelson was called from the city at
this time. as he was expected to make
a strong effort to secure an amend
ment to the Aldrich bill authorizing
the guaranteeing OF bank deposits
under certain conditions. Mr.. Nelson
expressed his regret before leaving
that he was obliged to go at this time,
as he was prepared to discuss the bank
deposit question thoroughly in sup
port of his amendment. If he is able
to return to Washington before the
final vote is taken on the Aldrich bill
there is no doubt that Mr.. Nelson will
actively participate in the effort to
have such an amendment incorporate
in the financial bill. -49..

Insanity and the Nation.

Not long ago the United States cen.
sus bureau issued report which
should have provoked instant and
widespread discussion. OF all the
publications giving the results of the
twelfth census there is hardly any of
such importance to the American peo-
pie. For in language the most ex-
plicit, and supported by statistics
gathered with the scrupulous care that
has characterized all the enumerations
of the latest census, it reveals the ex-
istence Of conditions making strongly
against the continued prosperity Of the
United States and it's continued prog
ress to headship among nations. The
reference is to the special report on
Insane and Predetermined in Hos
pitfalls and Institutions" At first
glance" remarks H. Arlington Bruce
In North American Review, nothing
alarming is to be seen in the state
ment that in 1903 there were in the
insane asylums Of the country a total
of $780, ISL inmates. What is this, It
may be asked, in population exceed
ing 100000? But the matter quick
ly assumes another aspect when it is
observed that in 1890, the year Of the
preceding census, the insane asylums
held only 74.02S unfortunates; and
that, ten years earlier, the asylum
population was but 40,492. In other
words, there has been a progressively
more rapid increase in insanity than
In population. Just what the differ
ence is it is impossible to say. Stats
tically it is enormous.

KING AND prince
LAID IN THE TOMB
FINAL ACT IN BLOODY TRAGEDY
OF PORTUGAL TAKES PLACE
IN LISBON.
Funeral Is Impressive-Manuel and
the Queens Unable to Follow Coffin
on Foot - Franco Arrives at
Bordeaux.

Lisbon, Feb. S.-The simple but i'm
pressive funeral services Saturday were
the final act in the bloody tragedy of
the royal family. All the arrangements
for the solemn march through the city
and the ceremonies at the Church of
San Vincente were carried out.
Although it is the ancient custom in
Portugal for the new sovereign to
walk behind the coffin of the dead
monarch, as King Carlos did when his
father was buried, neither of the
queens nor the boy king was able to
endure this trying ordeal. Additional
troops were brought into Lisbon to
accompany the cortege and line the
route of march. ~
~ Many Floral Tributes.
The last of the special foreign mis-
sions to attend the funerals arrived
in Lisbon Friday night and hundreds
of floral tributes were received at the
palace. Practically every government
was represented. Charles Page Bryan,
the American minister, sent two
wreaths, one to King Manuel, with ex-
pressions of the most profound sorrow
of President Roosevelt and the Ameri-
can people, and the other to Queen
Amelie, conveying the heartfelt re-
grets of the American nation. The
bodies of the king and the crown
prince were viewed by the members
of the diplomatic corps Friday after
noon as they lay in the royal chapel
Every hour during the day masses
were said at the affairs on the palace
chapel and, according to tradition,
priests prayed before the caskets,
sprinkled them with holy water and
burned incense The principal mass
of the day was celebrated by the
Papal Nuncio. 1t was attended by
King Manuel and Queen Amelie and
the members of the diplomatic corps
in uniform and the gentlemen and
ladies of the court. After the service
had ended all those who attended the
mass viewed the bodies OF the mon
arch and his son. The public was not
admitted to the chapel.
Franco at Bordeaux.
Bordeaux, Feb. S.-Senhor Franco
arrived here Friday. The former pre-
mier of Portugal brought a large
amount of baggage with him. A
group of local newspaper men awaited
him at the station, but when they
stepped up he waved them away with
a gesture of WEAKNESS and ignored
the questions they asked him. He
walked quickly to his hotel.
The face of the man is haggard and
he appears to be pre-occupied. He
looks constantly to the right and to
the left, as if he felt he should be pre-
pared to forestall some impending
physical danger.
Senior Franco told the manager OF
the hotel that he would remain over
night, as he wished to change his
Portuguese money into French money
having none of the latter. He did not
say where he purposed going Satur-
day. The hotel was guarded all night
by the police.

The MARRYING Ace.
MIMI.

It has often been said that "a wom-
an is no older than she looks" and
this 10 really true. Some women are
younger at 40, in appearance and man.
ner, than others are at 80. In this
connection it is proper to consider the
most suitable age for a woman to
marry. This depends upon circum-
stances, for the reasons above given.
A generation ago, when 25 was not far
from the average marrying age, a
woman may have been considered
verging on old maidhood at 30. Now
adays, however, the tendency is to
marry late rather than early in life,
and the sensible woman who at 30
finds herself still unwed by no means
despairs Of being led to the altar. AS
a matter Of fact, the majority Of men
only consider woman old when she
is close to the fifties, and even then
they often find attractive qualities in
her which younger women lack. Gone
are the days when a man regarded
youth and beauty as essential to the
happiness of married life. He looks
for a matured, steady and practical
mind, usually found in the woman Of
35 and 40, and forgets her age. Where
women make the greatest mistake,
however, is in trying to appear
younger than they generally are, thus
placing themselves in false position
and utterly marring whatever other
charms they may possess, says the
New York Weekly. No woman, OF
course, likes to advertise her age, and
she owes it to herself not to add to
the same by unsuitable or dowdy
dress, for instance. On the other
hand, it is ridiculous for her to en-
deavor to take five or ten years off her
age by dressing in the garb of
younger sister, and striving to cover
telltale wrinkles with powder and
rouge. Men easily see through such
articles and regard the woman who
practices the same with feeling Dor
dering on contempt. .....

Women Not In Demand.

Mr.. Arnold Shanklin, just returned
from Panama, says that men who go
to Panama seem to think a wife one
of the first necessities, but generally
they are provided with sweethearts,
who either come to them properly
chaperoned or they go back to the
states for them. The government
builds nice six-room houses for the
married men, and there is a very
pleasant social set being formed. He
did not seem to agree with Miss
Helen Varick Boswell that old maids
or bachelor girls are wanted there,
the inference being that the right
sort Of men are either married or
about to be when they go to Panama.
