so that they jumped over the concrete

their lives and men are dredging the
lake today to find their bodies. The

Augusta, Ga. Nov. S,-President
Taft brought his visit to Augusta to a
close tonday. after officiating at the
opening of the Georgia-Carolina fair,
Following his speech at the fair
grounds, the President drove through
the city. receiving an enthusiastic oya-
tion of the kind which has so marked
his visit to southern cities. Later he
left for Florence, s. c., where he will
make a brief stop on his way to Will

spend Tuesday at Wilmington and
Wednesday in Richmond, reaching
Washington at the end of his 1900
mile Journey on Wednesday evening at
8:35 O'Clock, But Mr.. Taft will be in
Washington less than "a hours. He
is first going to Middletown, Conn,
where on Thursday he will witness the
installation of President Shacklin of
Wesleyan University.
He will go to Norfolk on the 18th and
Hampton, Va, on the Goth, returning
to Washington on the morning Of the
November 21st.
Message viii Have to Wait
Washington, d. c.. Nov. SIT is not
likely that the President will do any
work on his message to Congress un-
til after his Norfolk trip. But he has
already outlined the essential points Of
his message in his speeches during
the present trip. There is a strong
likelihood, in view of many other mat
ters pressing for attention, that finan-
cial and currency matters will wait un-
til the session which begins in De
cember 1910. There has been alsc
some talk of an extra session in the
fall of 1910, to take up that subject.
