{ 6ECERTAINLY & think the navigation
Of the Yellowstone from this

EGNCERTA1NLY think the navigation
of the Yellowstone from this
city to it's mouth is very FEAST
BILE proposition, both from the engi-
neering and commercial standpoint" :"
said Senator Thomas M. Carter yester-
day evening. "It is a move in the right
direction, and l shall do all 1 can to
further the scheme"
Senator Carter spent last night in
this city, leaving this morning on the
special excursion train to Red Lodge
where he will deliver the principal
speech of the day at the Carbon coun-
ty fair. The senator will address the
visitors at the fair on the agricultural
resources of the state In speaking of
the movement to make the Yellow
stone navigable, Senator Carter fur
ther said:
In view of the fact that the engi-
neers have not as yet made any report
to congress on the practicability of
the work l would not at this time like
to commit myself to any statement as
to what will be done if the army de-
partment should report against the
work. Personally think the stream
can be made navigable, but in case
this is done I would base it's chief
usefulness on the effect it will have in
bringing about more equitable freight
rates. Whether there really is enough
freight which can be handled econom-
ically by river navigation is still
somewhat of question in my mind.
The people of Billings can feel as
sured that when the army engineers
make their report l will do all in my
power to get an appropriation if the
report is favorable to the scheme, and
will continue to work for it if the en-
gineers are against it.
II expect to be present at the Dry
Farming congress and would like to
present few observations along the
line of conservation. The congress
will be splendid thing for Billings
and for the state; and Billings will be
called upon to entertain large num-
ber of people if my observations con-

Champion johnson Laid
Lou BY 'Gunboat" Smith
Sailor From Warship in the Harbor,
Accepts an huitation to Spar
With the Negro Pugilist

of the United States cruisers anchor
ed in this harbor, appeared yesterday
at the champions training quarters
anr scored clean knock down in his
four-round bout with the big negro.
Coming out of a clinch, in the last
round, the sailor swung right over
hand chop which took Johnson on the
chin.
The champion went down flat on his
back and when he recovered his feet
he was so dazed that his manager cut
the round short. Smith mixed things
with the champion from the start and
he soon demonstrated that he could
reach him with the overland chop
which finally laid Johnson low.
The 500 spectators gathered to see
the training stunt of the champion
were highly expected by the unex-
pected outcome Of the bout and they
cheered Smith vociferously.
An unexpected feature in today's
developments of the championship
match on October 16 was a meeting of
the two principals. Johnson had halt
ed to fix punctured tire when Ketch-
ell, passing in anather machine, stop
ped and the two engaged in several
of good natured chatting.

BEAT
THE GATES
Exposition Is Robbed
By It's Ur7taithful
SERVANTS

G EATTLE, Wash, Oct 11.-All
gatemen at the Alaska Yukon
Pacific exposition were discharg-
ed last night, it being alleged that
they had participated in or knew of
stealing at the turnstiles.
The Times today asserts that the
gatemen were organized in a syndi-
cate with some of their superiors and
that the money stolen was placed in
the bank to be divided later, the
funds collected amounting to $28, 900
at the time the thieving was discov-.
cred and stopped. The alleged meth
ed of the gatemen, whose turnstiles
were unlocked by slipping a coin
into slot, was to catch the gate be-
fore it had registered, pull it back,
take in another person, and pocket his
coin.

During this time Mr.. Taft and the
others had to change their positions
from the stern to the bow of the
launch. The delay was only momen-
tarily and with the presidents boat
headed for the outer harbor a flotilla
of accompanying craft fell into it's
wake. Mr. Taft surprised the COM
mittee that had come out to explain
the harbor works for him, but his in
innate knowledge of the plans of the
Los Angeles people to make their har-
Dor one of the finest in the world.
The president later in the day,
when he was made member Of the
Los Angeles Association of California
Pioneers and was officially welcomed
to Los Angeles, declared that his first
acquaintance with the city dated back
in 1891, which he said, amid cheers,
entitled him to take precedence over
many of the enthusiastic residents in
the welcoming committee.
Before leaving San Pedro, Mr.. Taft
was shown the site of the fortifica-

high hill off Point Firmin to protect
the Los Angeles harbor. He spent
fully Is minutes on the heights listen
ing to a detailed explanation of the
plans.
1t was in the tropical park, near
the Arcade railroad station, that the
president, alighting from his private
car, was officially welcomed to the
city by Mayor Alexander and large
committee of citizens. 1t was in this
park that he was "at sight" made an
honorary member of the Pioneers as
sociation. When these brief ceremo-
MES had ended, Mr.. Taft entered an
automobile, which was mass of yell
low chrysanthemums, and at the head
of 25 other cars, his party and the
committee of welcome, were driven

OS ANGELES, Oct 11.-President
Taft arrived in the hospitable
flower land of southern Cali
fornia today and received an enthu-
siastic greeting. He visited first the
deep water and inner harbors of San
Pedro, below the city, and had q sail
of an hour and half inside the big
government breakWater. Returning
to Los Angeles at 1 o'clock, he was
taken for an automobile ride of two
hours through crowded streets of Los
Angeles. The president passed in re-
view of the school children and made
an address to them in which he
sought to inculcate lesson on patri-
otism by catchecising them as to the
meaning of the flag and their idea of
the liberty which it represents.
This evening Mr.. Taft was the guest
of honor at banquet at the Shriner
auditorium, which, in point of num-
bers, and in lavishness of decoration
proved to he one of the distinctive
features of his trip
The presidents visit to Los An
geles primarily was arranged that he
might spend day or two with his
sister, Mrs. w. A. Edwards, of this
city. Mr.. Taft rested at his sisters
home for a time during the late aft
ernoon and spent the night there.
Tomorrow the president will be TAX

Detroit Makes a Good
Rally in Final
Innings
WEATHER IS BAD
Despite DOwnpOur Crowd Witnesses
the Great COntest.-Pirates Jump
Into Lead in Initial Inning, Batting
Summers Out Of Box and Cinching
Game at Very Start.

n ETROIT, Mich, Oct. 11-Pitts-
I'D burg defeated Detroit, to G.,
here today in one of the most
spectacular and fiercely contested
games ever played in worlds cham
pionship series This gives Pittsburg
the margin of two games to one, and
the National league champions are
correspondingly jubilant.
Detroit, however, showed in the
final innings Of the battle that it is
far from hopelessly beaten. Weather
conditions were frightful Rain fell
frequently during the nine innings,
several times in hard showers of sew
eral minutes duration. The sky was
threatening all day and it was so
dark during the last two inning that
it was hard for both players and spec
tators to follow the ball. A sharp
northwest wind added to the discom-
fort of the players and the spectators
Despite wretched weather, the at
tendance, 1927, broke all local rec
ords for the worlds series.
Pittsburg jumped into the lead i'm
mediately by scoring five runs in the
first inning. They batted Summers
out Of the box, aided by some poor
fielding. Another run in the second
inning gave Pittsburg a lead of 6 to
O., and the game then appeared to be
safe for the visitors.
Detroit, however, cams to the fore
with one of the gamest rallies ever
made and scored four runs in the sew
enth inning batting Maddox hard and
playing like fiends.
With the score, 6 to 4, Pittsburg
connected with some of Works curves
in the ninth for two runs.
With the score s to against it,
the Detroit team smashed out two
more runs in the last inning. Had
Sam Crawford been able to hit up to
his usual mark, this afternoon, there
would have been a different story to
tell.

Wreckage and the damage to property
is estimated at $2,OOO,OOO. Martial
law was proclaimed and the Key West
guards took charge of the city.
The United States government has
been asked to dispatch troops here
without delay. Chaos reigns and few
people remained in their homes. Hun
dreds of houses were totally wrecked.
While the hurricane is the worst
Key West has ever experienced, the
local weather observer said tonight
that the indications are that the east
coast of Florida would suffer little.

Between $500 and 5000 workmen are
employed on the lower keys, where
there is slight opportunity for pro-
lection from the fury of the storm.
Grave fears are held out for the safe
ty of these men, the apprehension be-
ing intensified by recollection of the
hurricane of 1906, when 140 men lost
their lives and great damage to prop
erty was done in that sestion. 1t is
said that the construction camps are
betetr fortified now and it is known
that the engineers on the work have
been preparing for a big blow.
