TAFT'S STRENUOUS
DAY IN JERSEY
AND DELAWARE
Tremendous Crowds and Much
Enthusiasm
ONE SPEECH ABANDONED
Crush so Great at Wilmington That
Candidate Gould Not BE
Heard.

Baltimore, Md, Oct. 20.--Judge
Taft yesterday carried his campaign
to the very doors of New York City.
Mr.. Taft spent three hours in Newark
an hour In Elizabeth, an hour and
twenty minutes in Trenton, and hour
In Wilmington, and the entire even
ing in Baltimore. He encountered
tremendous crowds and enthusiasm
spontaneous and ample. His extend,
ed EFFORTS of the day were at Newark
Elizabeth and Baltimore. At New.
ark he gave attention to all the is.
sues save labor. In his Elizabeth
speech he dwelt solely on the labor
question, and in the evening he com.
bined the Newark and Elizabeth
speeches.
The zest with which Delaware re.
ceiyed the candidate resulted In cur
failing the Wilmington speech to
few words. Inc crowd in the square
opposite the public building, where
the speakers stand was, was SO lam.
med with people that It was with
the greatest difficulty that Mr.. Taft
was gotten through. And when he
reached the stand the pressure In the
throng was so great that many wo-
men and children were removed In
distress. One youngster was raised
above the heads Of the people near
the stand and Mr.. Taft reached out
grasped the boy and placed him on
the stand. Mr. Taft realized, and so
stated, that his voice was such that
he could not be heard by the crowd.
4 can only say to you" he remark
ID, that from what have seen IN
New Jersey and what have seen in
Delaware and what / saw In the
South and West In the last three
weeks, | am going to be elected, and
1t would give me the greatest pride IL
In that electoral vote | could have the
three from Delaware.
"The real issue of the campaign is"
said Mr.. Taft tonight, whether you
think the Republican Party by wha% \
has done in the last twelve wears is
entitled TO your confidence. Even IL
Il has done something to displease
you, is II not much TO be preferred TO
the Democratic Party under any cir
cumstances, considering the history OF
that party and considering the pecul-
iarities- to use no more offensive ex-
preston Of the leadership Of that
party?"

BOY HIGHWAYMEN
ACTIVE IN THE CITY

Two smooth-faced boy highwaymen, one
armed with a revolver and the other with
a black Jack. accused of two holdups
last night in widely separated districts Of
the city and within an hour of each other.
The first robbery reported to the police
was that Of Carl Wiley, clerk who lives
at $50 South Figueroa street. and who is
employed by the Pacific Hospital associa-
tion.
Wiley, who is a young man, had called on
a young woman Downey avenue near
Daily street and was walking along the

BIG REVIVAL HAS
 BROKE LOOSE" HERE
Reverend Mcintosh of Mississippi Is Conducting d Great Meeting at the Carr Memorial Church in the East End.

An old time revival has broken loose" at Carr Memorial church on East Sixth avenue Rev. Mcintosh of Mississippi and Tol Tatum of Jones' boro are in full swing and it seems that the East End people are on the tidal wave of a great awakening. There were about ten conversions Wednesday night and seven additions to the church. Every service is a gen. uine revival.
 Rev. Mcintosh is man of well ea- tablished character. He has been hon ored with important stations in his church and at one time was president of a church college in Mississippi. But there is no effort at display of learn ing in the pulpit His preaching is mot with wisdom of words" altogeth- CT Instead of either sleepy platitudes or affected witticisms. or rowing over the fields of imaginary mysticisms or harassing the modesty of his congre- gation in trying to prove that his church is the only one that has heavenly recognition, he is preaching to convince men that unless they re- bent and seek salvation through faith they will not reach heaven And as . result the revival is here.

BIG FIRE IN
 THE EAST END
E. B. Haryey's Saloon and Cottage on
 East Fourth Avenue Destroyed This lMarning at an Early Hour

At o'clock this morning fire broke out in the extreme eastern suburbs of the city. The reflection from the conflagration attracted many persons in that part of the city and several alarms were sent in to the local phone offices, whose operat- ors in turn sounded the alarm at the downtown fire station. Chief Briner and his boys responded, but owing to their failure to resJrn from the scene an hour later little information could be secured concerning the fire.
 At the Cotton Belt eating house, in the Cotton Belt shop yards, it was stated over the phone that the saloon known as the Last Chance and often spoken of as the road house, was burning and that a small residence, nearby. was ignited and destroyed by the flames. The Graphic made every effort to get some information re- garding the fire. but no details could be secured.
 The Last Chance was owned by F.. B. Harvey. The origin of the fire or loss could not be ascertained at press hour.

Entering a Mosque.

The popular idea that people are obliged as q sign of respect to talk" off their shoes before entering s. mosque is incorrect. This is done sim. ply because the floors of the mosques are covered either with mats or car petS which must be scrupulouSlE clean. as during their devotions the faithful touch them perpctually witt their foreheals. If you wear galocheS or overshOes. you have only to remove them and boldly walk into the mosque in your boots. Another popular errO' connected with the mosques is the be lief that, according to the Koran, Chris tians must not be allowed to entet them. This is absolutely opposed t. the tauching of the Koran. which de clares that any man or woman may ell ter mosque. be his religion what Il may. Indeed. in the earlier period o! the history of Islam it was considered that to invite them to attend the Serv. ice was an excellent method of con verting unbelevers.
