MURDERERS
CLUTCH LAST STRAW

Salem, Nov 11.-Owing to the fact
that additional petitions Of information
are to be submitted in the Finch and
Daley cases who are sentenced to hang
tomorrow, it is impossible for the gov
ernor to reach a decision in either
case before late tonight, or Friday
morning. A petition is being circu-
lated in Salem in behalf of Finch on
account of the fact that he formerly
lived here. Finch's wife is circulating
the petition.
Invitations for the executions have
been issued. 1t is thought the time
is set at 1890 but they will not take
place simultaneously but will follow
each other few minutes. The IN
vitations issued are limited in num-
ber, though they are in great de-
mand.

as When he Left.

cheers of the crowds ringing in his
ears. He returned last night to the
tune of the same cheers, but he tar
ried only a moment with the welcom-
ing parties His objective point was
the White House and Mrs. Taft and as
quickly as he could get away from the
brief speeches of welcome, he climbed
into his big automobile. The chauf-
feur broke all the speed records of the
district
There was no demonstration at the
White House. The special police there
kept the curious outside the grounds
and when Mr.. Taft alighted and ran
quickly up the steps he turned for a
moment and waved a smiling farewell
to Fred Carpenter his secretary; Col
Oiltl SDGuCtI 1lOoUN anu captain ~
chlbald Butt, his two military aides,
who had accompanied him from the
station,
Then the big swinging doors of the
White House swallowed him.
The president shook hands with the
two negro doormen, who smiled well
come that showed every tooth in their
heads.
The flunkeys continued to grin long
after the president had disappeared
above, where Mrs. Taft had been ap-
praised of his return. He did not
show himself again last night, not even
to visit the new executive offices,
which were lighted and decorated for
his inspection
Crowds Wait for Taft.
Two hours before the presidents
train pulled in some diversion was
caused by a committee of ten mem
bers from the chamber of commerce
filing down the broad stairway. Frock
coated and silk hatten, they marched
10 the platform, two abreast and
took up their stand at the point |
where the presidents car would stop.
When the train drew UP the first |
person out was Captain Butt. He was |
followed by Secretary of the Navy |
Meyer, who Joined the president yes
terday in Richmond. Then the pres
ident, to the accompaniment Of hand
clapplng and a few desultory cheers,
stepped to the ground.
"Mr. President, want to welcome
you back to the capital on behalf of
the members of the chamber of COM
merce," said President GUIDE, of that
body, capturing Mr.. Taft immediate
Iy.
THANK you," replied the president,
removing his hat and smiling be-
nignantly on the crowd. I'm glad
to get back. Let me see--I left here
August 6 didn't I? Well, I am back
again feeling just as well as when I
went away-or even better"

were getting louder and loude~, until

flies could be trained, ard he showed
some cinematograph records of fiji

dumb-bells, balancing weights bigger
than themselves, climbing revolving
wheels and acting as nursemaids. Ac-
curately balanced little machines were
used for training the flies, and the
only discomfort TO the insect, said
the lecturer, was involved in its being
imprisoned for day or so. On he

A HOPELESS UNDERTAKING

We arc not intimately acquainted with Rollo, Mo. Indeed, we are not sure that we ever heard of Rollo until recently little story concerning some Of the doings of its. city council fell beneath our eye, and now we are won deTing what manner of reforIners they produce around and about that burg that they have grown so impossibly foolish.
 Rollo's governmental organization has declared and ordained, after numer- ous and langthy whereases, whyfoTes, and aforcsaids, that the young men of the city must not firt with the young ladies of the seminary conveniently sit uated near by, on pain fthe city's dire displeasure, fashioned into noth- ing less than jail sentences for the of fending parties. This, saith his honor the mayor, to the approving wagging of associate bigwigs, is to be rigidly en- forced, without fear or favor, sans dis crimination and right now.
 Well, we shall see. Perhaps Missour- ians of Rollo persuasion will be abls to show us something new under the sun. We await further statements, and in the meantime refrain from either affirming or denying finally. Past history of which we have any knowledge gives no encourag cement to those who are in- clined to wish success to this move ment. There may havs been time in this world when seminary girls were not hirted with, the said girls being at all willing to be firty; but of 1t we
