DEEP WATERWAYS.
President Favors Immediate I'm rove
 n1ent of the Ohio.

New orleans. La. Oct. 30.-President Taft celebrated the successful termin- ation of his trip down the Mississippi today by addressing the delegates to the convention of the Lakes to the Gulf Deep Waterways Association. whose object is the improvement of the Mississippi river and its tributaries. On the arrival of the president, dele gates and visitors sprang to their feet. Many mounted chairs in order to get a better view of the lowing. smiling big man who was working his way through a double line of secret service men and police officers. He stood on the platform a moment and then bow ed his appreciation of the applause.
 President w. K. Kavanaugh present. ed him with a handsome gold badge and then introduced Governor Sanders of Louisiana. who in turn introduced the president The applause broke out again and was reinforced with some vigorous Yale yells.
 The president began his address by having a little fun regarding his trip down the river He said the dangers had all been run and the fleet had come through without the loss of a single man. MT. Taft taunted the con gressmen and governors for having resorted to the humilating device of land transportation at one stage of the journey.
 The president declared that no pro- gress had been made in river nayiga tion in this country in the last forty7 five years The waterways of this
 
 used eventually to carry the bulk of heavy merchandise. The presidents declaration favoring the issuance of bonds for carrying out Ohio river i'm provements as one of the approved projects of the inland waterways asso- ciation. called out a burst of applause. The Ohio river improvement will cost s63, 900, 900.
 MT. Taft said he also favored bonds for all other improvements including the Mississippi just as soon as a feas- ible project can be decided upon and it can be shown to be necessary and justifiable. The Ohio river gives the bulk of business to the Mississippi. the president declared. and every inn provement of that tributary tended to increase the value of the gerat water highway to the gulf.
 The president told of the improve ments to the Mississippi on the way down. and especially in protecting the banks from further sloughing off at the outside. Engineers say they need s2. .OOO. .0OO' more a year to carry on this beneficial work as it ought to be carried on. and the president said that it was a shame Sthat congress did not give it to them. Tn conclu- sion, MT Taft saiI:
 Tt is now up to the gentlemen to decide what y6u want, what it will cost. how long it will take and what the result will be. once that is done you can cs5mmand. not ask

VANDERBILT CUP RACE
 TAME AND SP|R|TLESs
THERE WERE NO ACCIDENTS OF
 A SERIOUS CHARACTER.
Its Failure Ascribed to Bad Judgment
 From the Beginning.

New York. Oct. 3O.-The fifth Van derhilt cup race was won today by Harry F. Grant, driving a 50 horse power Alec car. the only six-cylinder machine in the race. His time for 27s.es miles was 4:25:42, an average speed of 62.s miles an hour. Edward H. Parker, driving a 45 horse power Fiat. finished five minutes and fifteen seconds behind Grant William Knip- per. driving a 40 horse power Chalm ers-Detroit. finished third. The other cars, Mercedes, driven by Wishart. an amateur, and the Atlas, driven by Knox, were the only machines among the fifteen entrants for the Wander bilt cup which remained on the course to the end of the race
 Compared with previous Vanderbilt cup races, the contest, reduced to the level of an ordinary stock car event, was tame and spiritless- AL though accidents to the cars were numerous and machine after machine retired, no one suffered serious injury. Weather and road conditions were un- surpassed, and there was a crowd of not less than 150.000.
 Poor management and lack of of ficial judgment marred the race from the beginning to the end. The early part of the race was badly muddled by the simultaneous running of two lesser contests for cars of moderate rafr1ainad n the course for ten and fifteen laps. respectively, being passed by the big cars and making the task of the timers a puzzling one.
 In the shorter of these two races, for the Massapequa sweepstakes. Joe Matson, driving a twenty-five horse power Chalmers-Detroit.f finished first, covering 126.4 miles in hours, min utes and 52 2-5 seconds. The aver age speed was slightly better than 5S miles an hour. A fifteen-lap race for the Wheatley Hills cup was won by R. w. Harroun. driving a thirtytwo horse power Marmon, who completed the 1896 miles prescribed in 3:1O:21 2-5. His average speed was 59S miles an hour. Lewis Strang. piloting a Fiat. and Louis Chevrolet. driving a Buick. were among the first to >be put out of the running by ac- cident. Strang came to grief before completing the second lap. smashing his radiator Chevrolet began well. rounding 126i miles of the circuit in 9 minutes and 57 seconds. but brok- en cylinder forced him to quit the race in the fifth lap.

iNSURGENT REPUBLICANS
EXPECT INCOME TAX LAW
Victory Depends on Unanimity with
Which Democratic Conference
Supports Economic Measure

WASHINGTON,' April 20.-It is evil
dent from the activity of opponents and
Supporters of the income tax PROPOSE
ton to ascertain the strength of the
other, that this question will furnish
the sharpest contest to be waged in the
senate during the tariff revision ses-
sion. of congress!
In view of the fact that the Demo-
Gratis are said to be unanimous for an
income tax measure, the leaders of the
"insurgent" Republican faction appear
to be confident of victory.
On the other hand, opponents of the
income tax idea assert that the Demo-
Gratis are united and declare that some
of the insurgent strength for addi-
tional internal taxes, will be lost the
moment senators are convinced that
the pending bill will produce sufficient
revenues for the needs of the govern
ment.
Among the Republicans declared to
be in favor of an income tax are Sem
ators Borah, Brown, Burkett, Clapp,
Crawford, Cummins, Dixon, Gamble,
Guggenheim, LaFollette and Nelson.
In addition to these some of the insur-
gents are claiming Senators Jones,
Bourne, Hepburn, Johnson of North
Dakota and DolliVer.
If the votes of all of these senators
should be cast for an income tax pro-
vision they would be more than suffi-
cient to pass it in the senate unless a
break should occur in the Democratic
ranks.

RELATIVE OF SLAYER
OF STANFORD WHITE
TO MARRY NOBLEMAN
[sneclal to The Herald. ]


P1TTSBURG. April 20.-Notice of the
engagement of Miss Beatrice Thaw 10
an Italian marquis was publicly made
today and has proven the sensation oil
the season in ultra social circles.
The engagement has been a more OF
less open secret for some time. but II
is believed that the two families pur-
posely have avoided the notoriety that
would naturally attend its public an
nouncement as a result of the unfavor-
able publicity which the Thaw name
has already received in connection with
the murder of Stanford White by Har-
ry X Thaw.
Miss Thaw's fiance is the Marquis
Francesca Theodoli, a member of an
old Roman family, whom she met at a
foreign court. The bride-to-be will
some day be possessed of fortune of
many millions which she inherits as a
portion of the estate of her GRANDPA
ther, the late William Thaw of this
city, her father, DR.. Alexander Blair
Thaw, being the second son of that
multi millionaire and a half brother of
Stanford Whites slayer and of the
Countess of Yarmouth.
No date for the wedding has been
announced.
